Chapter 47 Catch crabs

Unexpectedly, Li Erniu, who brought a fishing rod, was also a confused ghost. As soon as the fish asked her, she shook her little head with a confused face and said, "I don't know how the crab was caught. I only caught small fish and shrimp by the stream."

Li Erniu's words puzzled the fish, and then asked, "You don't know how the crab was caught, so you brought the fishing rod?" What if this fishing rod is not used?

Li Erniu replied with some embarrassment when she heard the words, "Although I grew up at the seaside, I have never caught crabs. Today is the first time I went to the seaside to catch crabs!"

"It's also because it's the first time, so I don't know what tools to bring. This fishing rod and fish basket were prepared for me by my mother. As soon as I told my mother that I planned to go to the seaside to catch crabs, she prepared these two things for me, so I brought them. Maybe it might really come in handy! "

The fish has never caught crabs, so he can't put forward any constructive opinions. He can only put all his hopes on the little bolt: "It shouldn't matter if we don't bring tools or bring the wrong tools. Since the little fat man has made an appointment with us, he must have caught it. Since he has experience in catching crabs, then He will definitely bring everything he needs to catch crabs.

"If he dares not bring everything with him, I will use this fishing rod to hit him!"

"No matter how fierce you are, the little fat man will have to walk away when he sees you far away in the future."

"I can't wait for him to walk around!"

"You..."

Gradually, the chat between Yuer and Li Erniu began to become compatible, but their hands had moved deftly, either through needles and threads, or finely depicting various patterns. After more than half of the embroidery in their hands, the two had also taken the topic elsewhere and stopped talking about catching crabs for a long time.

Time passed quickly in the chat. In a short time, the sun, which was originally above the fish's head, had tilted to the west, and Xiao Bolzi, the main figure of catching crabs, finally appeared under the old locust tree at the time.

The small bolt wore a certain big bucket hat on his head, carried a big fish basket on his back, and carried a small fish basket and several nets in his hand. The fish only glanced at it roughly and knew that those tools should be necessary for catching crabs.

When the little bolt saw the fish and Li Erniu, he waved and said, "You two clean up and go with me. If you delay for hours, it will be difficult to catch crabs when it gets dark!"

Yuer and Li Erniu quickly stopped their work and hurriedly packed the needle and thread, scissors, embroidery and other things into the needle and thread basket. After packing up, they held the needle and thread basket, carried the fishing rod and followed the small bolt, and the small bolt led the way.

The fish and his party slowly walked behind the village along the cobbled path. After drilling through a wild bamboo forest, they could see the sea from afar. The little bolt took the fish and Li Erniu along the coastline and took them to an open beach in a short time.

The fish used to play on this beach with several brothers. I remember that at that time, in addition to the golden beach, there was a blue sea. At that time, the sea was connected with the golden beach, and the sea also played more than half of the beach, which was not like the current sea retreated far due to the low tide. It reveals a wet and soft dark beach.

As soon as Xiao Shuzi saw the dark beach, he said excitedly, "We came just in time. The sea has just receded and exposed the beach that was originally flooded by the sea. Have you seen the small hole on the dark beach? Those are crab holes!"

As the little bolt said, he excitedly pointed to the dark beach. The fish looked in the direction he pointed and found that there were small holes of different sizes on the dark beach. These small holes were very common on the beach. Fish had seen it when they played on the beach before, but she never knew it. The small hole is where crabs live...

Therefore, as soon as the little bolt said that it was a crab hole, the fish couldn't help asking curiously, "Those holes don't look big. Can crabs really live in it?"

"I said it was a crab hole, and the crab must live in it. Don't you believe what I said?"

The fish's question made Xiaozhuzi very dissatisfied. In order to convince the fish that he was really a good crab catcher, Xiaozhuzi immediately took off his shoes and slowly walked to the wet and soft beach, pointing to a crab hole on the beach and said, "Most of the crabs live in this kind of beach are sand crabs. This sand crab is good at digging holes and has lived in caves for many years. It only crawls out to inhale at low tide.

Li Erniu next to the fish heard the introduction of the little bolt, immediately squatted down and lay on the beach to look carefully at the small hole above. While looking at it, she asked puzzledly, "Little fat man, why do these sand crabs dig holes on the beach? Why do they live under the beach? Isn't it better for little crabs to live in the sea?

When Xiao Shuanzi saw Li Erniu asking him, he was very proud. He didn't even notice that Li Erniu called him "little fat". He only cared about showing off his "knowledge" in front of the two female dolls...

"Because the sand crabs are relatively large, and usually at high tide, the sea will rise to the beach where the sand crabs live, flooding the whole beach, so if they don't hide under the cave, they will be taken away by the rolling waves! This sand crab is only suitable for living on shallow sea beaches and not for living in the deep sea, so if they are brought to the deep sea by the waves, they will easily die.

"So this sand crab can't live in the sea!" Li Erniu sighed regretful after listening to Xiao Shuanzi's explanation. In her opinion, this crab should live in the sea.

When Xiao Shuanzi heard the words, his head was full of black lines and replied angrily: "The crabs living in the deep sea are called sea crabs, and the sand crabs living on shallow beaches are two different crabs! And what we are going to catch today is sand crabs.

In the question and answer between Li Erniu and Xiao Shuzi, the fish has wandered around the beach, and through the stroll, they noticed that there are many crab holes of different sizes on the beach.

The fish thought that after finding the crab's residence, as long as they smashed their nest, they could "catch" them, so he excitedly pulled the small bolt and asked, "Are we going to shovel these crab holes with a shovel so that we can force the crabs out to catch them?"

As soon as the little bolt heard the fish's words, he immediately laughed rudely. After laughing, he poured cold water on the fish mercilessly: "Ba Niangzi, if you really use a shovel to dig these crab holes, then you can dig this beach three or five feet underground, and you can't find half a crab!"

When Xiaozuanzi said this, he had a proud look on his face. Obviously, he was proud of the opportunity to make fun of the fish. The appearance made the fish gritt his teeth in anger, and he couldn't wait to rush up to give Xiaozamzi, the dead child, a shudder...

However, the fish soon became not angry, because she had a tried-and-tested must-kill skill to deal with Xiaoza, so as soon as the fish saw a look of "come and ask me" on Xiaozazi's face, she deliberately pressed her inner curiosity and did not ask Xiaoza for advice, but deliberately pulled Li Erniu to chat with household gossip... ...

"Second girl, I heard that Lin Guolang will go to Tokyo in a few days and will come back to sell some rare goods there. At that time, we can open our eyes and see the new things brought back from Tokyo."

The "Tokyo" in Yuer's mouth is actually Kyoto in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the people also call it "Kaifeng". This Tokyo seems to be an unreachable place for the people of Xiaoyi Village, especially for a half-year-old child like Li Erniu, who is full of yearning for Tokyo, a prosperous capital.

So the fish's words immediately attracted Li Erniu, who was studying the crab hole, and made her immediately leave the crab hole and ask the fish with envy, "Really? Is Lin Shulang really going to Tokyo? Tokyo is a prosperous city, and the things there must be expensive in our small county!"

"That's right, Lin Kuolang also said that he would bring me some cheap and delicious snack," Yu'er deliberately paused here and continued to say, "Lin Kuolang sent me candy when he came back. I'm afraid this gift has become a habit, so when he came back to our village He told me that he would bring me some snackes that I had never eaten before from Tokyo, and I would never be reluctant to give them away this time!"

Yuer deliberately stopped talking here, but she not only stopped talking by herself, but also deliberately pulled Li Erniu to ask her not to go on. Yuer and Li Erniu suddenly stopped the topic and immediately made the little bolt with ears eavesdropping anxious. After waiting for a while, they couldn't help but take the initiative to ask...

"Ba Niangzi, what kind of snack did Lin said he want to bring you? Is it salty, crispy, soft... or sweet?

Seeing that the small bolt immediately got into his own deliberately set trap, the fish immediately secretly felt happy, but the fish did not show it at all and only said lightly: "Lin Xianglang only said that he would bring me 'veter sugar' and 'scented candy', and did not tell me what these two small mouths are. He only said that these two things are the favorite snack of Tokyo women.

"Sugar and fragrant candy?"

Of course, the little bolt has never eaten the two little mouths said by the fish, but the names of these two little mouths have the word "sugar", so the little bolts were immediately "conquered" by them. Just listening to the name, he couldn't help swallowing his stomach frequently...

After swallowing, the little bolt immediately looked at the fish and asked expectantly, "Ba Niangzi, when Lin Yaolang comes back from Tokyo and gives you those two small mouths, can you give me some? I just taste a little... Really, I really only taste a little often!"

As soon as the little bolt compromised with the fish, it means that the fish has successfully introduced him into his own trap. The Lin goods man did not plan to go to Tokyo at all. The two small mouths that the fish just said are also seen from a book introducing Tokyo, which is not Lin goods at all. Tell the fish!

However, since the little fish has been hooked, the fish naturally needs to make good use of this opportunity and let him listen to himself obediently...

The fish deliberately did not respond to the request of the small bolt, but said slowly, "Well, aren't we here to catch crabs?" Why do you stand here and chat?"

As soon as everything is related to sugar, the little bolt will immediately become extremely clever and attentive. He immediately took over the fish's words and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you have to be patient enough to catch crabs! The tide has just receded, and we have to wait for a while for the crab to climb out of the crab hole before we can catch it.

Yuer believes that as long as she leads the topic back to catching crabs, Li Erniu, who is very curious, will be brought in immediately. Sure enough, Xiao Shuanzi finished speaking, and Li Erniu immediately followed his words and asked, "Then shall we guard these holes? We only see the crab hole, but we can't see the crabs hiding in the hole. How can we know which hole to catch big crabs?

Xiao Shuanzi knew that if he didn't perform well at present, the fish would not let him taste the sugar that was found in Tokyo, so he only saw Li Erniu's words fall, and Xiao Shuanzi explained very attentively: "This is simple--look at the big hole in the crab hole and the crab hiding there. It's big, and if the hole is small, the crab hiding in it will naturally be small.

Hearing this, the fish quietly remembered Xiao Shuzi's words and began to look at the crab holes closest to her. Li Erniu continued to ask curiously, "After the crabs climbed out of the hole, we directly rushed to catch them?"

Li Erniu has no sugar to give to Xiaozao, so her question made Xiaozaozi give a rude white look. Bai Wan also explained to Li Erniu in a contemptuous tone: "Generally speaking, the sand crab runs so fast on the beach that you can't catch up with it. Even if you finally catch up with it, it only needs to get in. In the hole, there's nothing you can do about it!"

Xiao Zuanzi's words severely hit Li Erniu's enthusiasm for catching crabs, making her complain with a depressed face: "If you really can't catch up with it as you said, and if you catch up with it, you will drill holes to hide in the hole, isn't this crab very difficult to catch? Since it's difficult to catch, why did you bring us here to catch it? If you are busy all evening but can only return empty-handed, it's not fun at all!"

After listening to Li Erniu's words, Xiao Xuanzi only smiled and said nothing, and then put down the big fish basket he had been carrying on his back. After the small bolt put the big fish basket on the beach, the fish found that he had inserted many branches of different lengths in the fish basket. These small branches looked slightly thicker than the ordinary fishing rod, but the end was not tied with a fishing line, that is to say, the small bolt did not bring a special fishing rod... This made the fish not know the small bolt for a moment. The purpose of bringing these branches.

The little bolt obviously felt the fish's doubts, but now he did not dare to continue to show off in front of the fish, so he took the initiative to explain without waiting for the fish to ask him, "Ba Niang, don't underestimate these branches. As long as we have these branches in hand, we won't worry about catching crabs!" "

When the fish saw that the little bolt was eager to perform, she asked him "appreciatively": "Oh? Then you can talk about the use of these branches.

As soon as Xiao Shuanzi saw the fish asking a question, he immediately replied attentively, "The most important thing about catching crabs on the beach is to cut off the back road of crabs and make it not escape back to the hole!" And if you want the crab to escape back into the hole, the easiest way is to prepare a lot of thick branches and insert the branches into the hole before the crab runs into the hole. As soon as the crab is blocked by the branches, the crabs can't get in. Finally, they can only crawl on the beach and wait for us to catch them alive!"

After hearing this, Yuer's heart suddenly felt itchy. She felt that the little bolt method of catching crabs was a little interesting, which made her eager to try. Li Erniu beside her was immediately attracted by this interesting method and rushed to grab the branches. The fish hesitated a little, and finally couldn't resist playing and followed. I grabbed a few branches in my hand.

When the little bolt saw that the fish and Li Erniu had taken branches respectively, he picked out two branches of about the same length from the remaining branches and clamped the two branches in his hand with the gesture of chopsticks.

After the small bolt clamped two branches, he lay on the beach and carefully observed the crab hole above. Seeing that there were continuous blisters coming out of the hole, he knew that the crab was about to come out of the hole, so he quickly told the fish and two more words...

"It's almost time, and the crabs hiding in the hole will soon come out to breathe! Remember that as soon as you see a crab crawling out, you will immediately insert the branch in your hand into the crab hole! After blocking the hole, you don't have to care about the crabs that can't go back to the hole, just continue to plug the hole. How many can you block?"

As soon as Xiao Shuanzi finished speaking, an earthy gray crab pliers came out of a crab hole with small fish feet. Seeing this, Xiao Shuzi quickly shouted, "The crab is out. You two are ready to plug the hole!"

As soon as the fish and Li Erniu heard the little bolt's words, they immediately leaned over and looked at the crab holes under them. The fish quickly saw that a crab had climbed out of his feet. As soon as the crab came out of the hole and climbed a few steps, the fish immediately blocked the crab hole that he had previously stayed in with a branch!

With the emergence of the first crab, more and more crabs slowly climbed out of crab holes of different sizes. Those crabs, large and small, made the fish have no time to choose the size and quickly insert the branches into the empty crab holes.

Li Erniu is more greedy than the fish and wants to catch big crabs, so in order to block the big crabs, she has been on the beach and pick up those big crab holes to block them, and Li Erniu is still laughing and laughing, looking very happy.
