"Don't buy it. There is an old hen at home that refuses to lay eggs. If you want to eat it, kill it." Mother Li, who is usually very frugal, recovered quickly after hearing that he said it was nutritious. She also agreed to kill the chicken and stew the seahorses.
Father Li glared at her, "If you listen to the wind, it will be rain. A Le is willing to eat, so are you? Don't listen to him, I will just raise him for a few more days." "Abba, this is not how the accounts are calculated. What do you think? I wish you would be better off one day earlier, so you can go out to sea fishing one day earlier to make money..."
"I know, you don't need to worry about me, I know it well." Father Li said and added, "I have all the fishing nets. While I have nothing to do now, you go buy some fishing lines and steel wires.
I will help you make dozens more ground cage nets and crab nets. When the fishing boat comes back, you can put more than a dozen rows of ground cages at a time when you go out to sea. If you add up, the fish will be good." "Let Anan buy it tomorrow. Come back and make the fishing line." Li Changle thought about it and warned again, "Do it slowly, don't be too tired."
"I know my own body." Father Li waved his hand at him, "The tide is out, so you can do whatever you have to do."
Li Changle nodded, "Then you get some rest early. Ah Wei and I will go to the grove to see if the ground cage we set down last time has been washed back by the waves?" "When you are looking for it, look for it near the rocks. Sometimes the ground cage will be swept up by the waves and hung on it."
"Yeah!" When Li Changle heard what he said, he suddenly remembered the situation of collecting the ground cages that day, "Abba, the level of the typhoon this time was not high. All the ground cages we put down were tied to small trees with fishing ropes.
The typhoon didn't uproot the trees, it just broke them. Logically speaking, it wouldn't have blown away so many cages!"
After hearing this, Father Li thought for a moment, frowned and said, "What you said makes sense. Could it be that someone stole the cage before the typhoon?"
Mother Li said: "How is it impossible? You have forgotten that there are two households in the village with unclean hands and feet, and Wang Laozhi is the only one. Also, A Le and the others have been so lucky recently. I think it is probably because they were trapped by someone. Taken away."
Li Changle felt that Mother Li had said what he wanted to say, but there was no evidence.
Father Li looked at mother and son, "Let's talk about it at home and it's fine. Don't talk nonsense when we go out. If word spreads, others will come to visit us, and we will be the only ones who suffer."
"I know." Li Changle said, "Abba, I will send those cages down today. I will buy network cables and bring them back tomorrow. I will mark them in a secret place so that I won't be afraid of being stolen next time."
Father Li nodded repeatedly, "Although it's a little troublesome, it's better than being stolen and not being able to get it back."
Mother Li said nonchalantly: "What's the trouble? Look at our dustpan, tables, chairs and benches. Ever since they were engraved with our family's mark, they haven't fallen out." After hearing this, Li Changle picked up the bench placed against the wall. , and saw that his father’s name was indeed engraved on the bottom, “Why didn’t you think of that before?”
Mother Li said distressedly: "Yes, if I had thought of it earlier, I wouldn't have lost dozens of yuan in vain."
"Okay, it's all gone. It's useless to regret it." Father Li waved to Li Changle, "Go and do your thing!" "Yeah!"
Li Changle came out of his parents' house and saw Zhou Ruonan and his two sisters-in-law weaving nets on the eaves of the steps. He said hello to her. When he went back, he saw that the fishing gear from Taohai had been packed away. As he was about to leave, Chen Yongwei came.
"Brother, I brought the bait. How many ground cages will I bring this time?" "I only brought a few old cage nets today. I'll let them use the new ones..." "You really feel like they were stolen. ah?"
"I'm just suspicious, take precautions first."
"You are still thoughtful." Chen Yongwei picked up the floor cage and put it in the basket on his back, and they went out together.
When I walked to the entrance of the alley, I met some villagers who were fishing for sea urchins. As soon as they met, I asked them about getting purple sea urchins, and said that I would go fishing with them. I heard Li Changle said that he was going to the grove to find ground cages, so he didn't Followed.
Two of them still didn't believe it. They stood there and saw that they had indeed gone towards the gate, then turned around and left. Chen Yongwei looked behind him and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you not going to the cave today?"
"No! When we get to the grove, we first put down the ground cage, and then go to the rocks in the shallow water to find the ground cage. When the water recedes to the big rocks, we will go across the mudflat to collect the cans."
"Okay, you give the instructions and I will just carry them out." Chen Yongwei said, patting his arm, "Brother, you forgot to buy mothballs again." "Remind me next time." Li Changle asked his father to do it again. I told him about making dozens of ground cages.
When they reached the Chang Pond, Li Xiaoyang ran over from the bridge, "Uncle Third, why are you here just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time." "What are you waiting for me for?" Li Changle looked at him, "Hurry up. Go home and sleep."
Li Xiaoyang crossed his arms and hugged his chest, "No, I want to go fishing to make money. If you don't take me, I will go alone."
"What are you going to do if your mother can't see you when she's sleeping?" Li Changle stepped forward and grabbed him, punching his butt with his hands. "Get out of here and let me see you sneaking to the beach to see if I won't hit you?"
Li Xiaoyang dropped his buttocks and grabbed the railing of the stone bridge, "Then next time I tell my grandma and she agrees, will you take me there?" "If your grandma agrees, I will take you there, but you must finish your homework." ." Li Changle's teeth were itching and he really wanted to hit someone.
Li Xiaoyang looked at him, "Uncle San, you must keep your word!"
"You want to be beaten, right?" Li Changle glared at him, grabbed him and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
"I don't want you to send me away. I'm a manly man. If you say you will go home, you will go home. You must also keep your credibility." Li Xiaoyang said and ran towards home.
"He's already a man even before his hair even grows!" Li Changle was a little worried, so he asked Chen Yongwei to wait there. He chased after him, and when he saw that he had gone home, he turned around with relief.
When the two of them approached the salt-alkali land, they saw Wang Laobian walking in front carrying a bucket and a sack.
"Old Bian!" Chen Yongwei called him.
Wang Laobian turned to look at the two of them, looking a little uncomfortable and said, "Are you two going to go to the underground cage too?"
He has been avoiding the two of them these past few days, why did he meet them again?
"What a shame, my cage was blown away by the typhoon." Li Changle thought of this guy's thief behavior, looked at him and asked, "Old Bian, when you got down from the cage, you saw our cage." Is there a cage?"
"No, I didn't see it." Wang Laobian glanced at him and said with emphasis, "I really didn't see it!"
Li Changle's intuition told him that this guy was guilty, so he turned on his headlight and shined his light on him, "Didn't you really see it?"
Wang Laobian replied with twinkling eyes: "I really didn't see it! You didn't leave your floor cage to me to keep an eye on for you."
Seeing that he refused to admit it, Li Changle said bluntly: "Looking at you, I know that you have seen our floor cage. To be honest, did you pick it up?"
Chen Yongwei thought of what Li Changle said when he was at home just now, "It's probably you. Otherwise, if I had tied him up well, how could so much have been washed away?"
"You are so slanderous!" Wang Laobian said angrily, his face flushed, "I, Wang Laobian, are poor and a bit petty, but I have never taken anything from anyone else in my life."
He paused, pointed at God and swore, "If I pick up your floor cage and don't return it, my crooked neck will stay like that for the rest of my life!"
Seeing what he said, Chen Yongwei lost his opinion and turned to look at Li Changle, "Brother!"
When Li Changle saw him swearing on his precious son, he also believed that he was not the one who took the cage. But from the look on his face, it was clear that there was something else he was hiding from them.
"It's either you or someone else. Moreover, you saw this person with your own eyes, and he also saw you seeing him. Otherwise, why are you guilty?" This
"What should I feel guilty about? It's you who provoked others and made them jealous. You cut your fishing rope with a knife. It's strange that the typhoon is coming and the ground cage can't run away."
After Wang Laobian said this, he glanced at him and said, "Don't say it was me who said it, I won't recognize it even if you said it."
Li Changle took a step forward, "We saved your life last time and helped you get out of the cage. How should you repay us?"
"I was just bitten by a centipede...
"Is it true that we helped you?"
"Yes, what do you want?"
"I don't want you to do anything. As long as you reveal it in front of the people who are cutting my rope tomorrow night, you will say that I have laid dozens more cages."
Wang Laobian hesitated for a long time, then nodded and said: "Okay, I'll just treat you as a reward for helping me."
"Thanks!
Li Changle looked at Wang Laobian who was striding away, and knew in his heart who he was talking about. Who else in Shatou Village could do such a despicable thing besides Wang Mazi and that hozen.
"Brother, did he say that someone cut our fishing ropes and that's why so many fishing nets escaped during the typhoon?"
"That's right! Let me just say, with the level of the last typhoon, it is impossible to blow away so many of our ground cages. It was really that turtle who was doing it for a long time."
"I can't kill that bastard!" Chen Yongwei turned around angrily and went to find Wang Mazi to settle the score.
Li Changle grabbed him and said, "Go find him now. He has never killed you in one bite. Are you going to bite him?"
"What Wang Laobian saw is what he just said."
"He also said that he didn't recognize it."
"Then what should I do? I let him cause harm to our cage in vain?" Chen Yongwei said angrily, "I'll throw his cage into the sea too..."
"Don't worry, the bad guys will be rewarded."
"Brother, do you want to expose his affair with A Biao's wife?" Chen Yongwei said distressedly, "Dozens of cages cost dozens of dollars, not counting the catch.
Besides, if A Biao’s wife and him do shit to us, even if A Biao catches them, we won’t be able to recover our losses.
"I changed my mind. I don't have the time to help people catch traitors!" Li Changle put his arm around his shoulders, "Just think about it, we just picked up so many sea urchins and sold them to A Dong's family. The turtle grandson will be furious now." itch.
You said, when he knows that we went to lay down cage nets again today, and we will go out to lay down dozens of cage nets tomorrow, I won’t believe that he won’t take action.”
"Yes, I forgot about you asking my sister-in-law to mark him. When we catch him, we will settle the old and new accounts together."
