When Liu Xinyu mentioned snakes, Chen Zhaodi couldn't stop everyone from changing their shoes.

Although he had gained a lot last night, when he was about to finish work, Liu Xinjian almost stepped on a snake.

If Liu Xinyu hadn't been sharp-eyed, Liu Xinjian would have been bitten by a snake.

Although Liu Xinjian is a boy and very courageous, and he even plays with snakes, no one wants to be bitten by a snake.

After listening to Liu Xinyu's words, he didn't care whether Chen Zhaodi would object or not. Without saying a word, he kicked off the torn plastic sandals on his feet and was the first to put on the rain boots.

He had already set his sights on rain boots in his own size. Although they were just rain boots, they were the shoes he had been thinking about for a long, long time.

Liu Houxing's rain boots were Liu Qingshan's old rain boots. Because they accidentally made a small hole a few days ago, when he came over to make a cage in the afternoon, Liu Houxing brought them over and repaired the hole himself.

When he went back to eat, Liu Xinyu didn't let him take it back, so he happened to change into it now.

Liu Xinyu's rain boots, which were too small, were of course given to Chen Zhaodi.

Chen Zhaodi put on her rain boots, walked back and forth a few steps, and lightly tapped her feet.

Hey, those are really suitable!

After changing into rain boots, the group quietly left Liu Xinyu's yard.

Liu Xinyu took the lead, and the others followed.

Although she didn't have a flashlight and Liu Xinyu had only been in this era for a few days, she had the memories of her original life and the inheritance of Liu Qingshan. She knew clearly in her mind where there were pitfalls in the small streets of the village.

Leaving the village went very smoothly, without encountering a single person. Only the wary native dog barked twice when hearing any movement.

After leaving the village and heading straight to the river, there was still no one talking along the way, only the sound of rustling footsteps.

When she was approaching the river, Liu Xinyu stopped and took out matches from her pocket to light the first torch.

Not only did I bring three torches today, I even brought some kerosene in a bottle.

Although we tried it yesterday and a torch can be lit for at least an hour and a half, there are more things to do today and the time will be longer. Of course, in order to ensure lighting, we must consider everything carefully.

Liu Xinyu had just polished the match and before she had time to light the torch, she heard a shout from the river in front: "Who?!"

Oh my god?!

Liu Xinyu's hand shook and she almost dropped the match on her body. She didn't care who was standing next to her and hid behind that person. Her heart was pounding and about to jump out of her chest.

Not only Liu Xinyu was frightened, but everyone was frightened.

For a moment no one moved or made a sound.

The people by the river didn't expect that no one would answer. As they came over here, they asked again: "Who is it? Why didn't you say anything?"

"Dad, it can't be a ghost!"

There was more than one person coming from the river.

"Second brother, stop talking nonsense!"

"What are ghosts? Where do ghosts come from in this world? Ghosts only exist in one's heart!"

"..."

At this time, everyone in the Liu family knew who was coming from the other side.

It’s the Zhang family and his son!

It’s really scary and scary!

Liu Xinyu took out the flashlight from her bag and shone it on her face.

"Oh... yes, it's a female ghost!" This should be Zhang Hongming's voice, which sounds a bit distorted.

Without seeing his face, Liu Xinyu couldn't tell whether Zhang Hongming was really scared or deliberately teasing.

"What are you shouting for!" Zhang Daniu's scolding came immediately.

Soon the Zhang family and his son came to the Liu family. By this time, Liu Xinyu had already put the flashlight back in her bag and lit the torch with a match.

Although Liu Xinyu's flashlight was only pointed at his face, Zhang Daniu had already seen Chen Zhaodi standing behind Liu Xinyu.

I thought there were only two people from the Liu family, but I didn't expect to see so many people from the Liu family at once, and all of them were carrying things on their backs.

Although Zhang Daniu is not as good at catching eels as Liu Qingshan, he once followed the trend and learned to catch eels. Of course, he knows what the Liu family's things are used for.

"Is your whole family going out to catch eels?" Zhang Daniu asked in surprise.

"Yes, betrothal is a matter between two families, and the Zhang family cannot pay for everything. But my family's situation is such that there is almost nothing we can do. After a long discussion, we decided to come to the river to try our luck.

Let’s see if we can catch some eels to add to our meal.” Liu Xinyu said with a faint smile.

"Second uncle and second aunt are too particular! We had a good discussion about the engagement banquet yesterday. What kind of dishes should we add? Just listen to me and go back to bed." Zhang Daniu reached out and grabbed the bamboo basket Liu Houxing was carrying and signaled to Zhang Hongliang.

Go pick up the eel cage from Liu Qingshan.

"Actually...it's actually me. I want to eat eels." Liu Xinyu lowered her head in embarrassment, "When my dad was here, he would take time to get into the eel cage every year at this time..."

Although Liu Xinyu didn't finish her words, Zhang Daniu already knew that today's eel must be caught.

In this case, now that they have encountered each other, even if Zhang Daniu has many worries in his heart, he cannot just leave with his sons.

What Zhang Daniu didn't know was that the Liu family did not want the Zhang family to join.

After being polite, Zhang Daniu left Zhang Hongliang behind and hurried away with his other sons.

After watching Zhang Daniu and his son leave, the Liu family reluctantly took Zhang Hongliang to the river.

After finding the most suitable patch of aquatic plants by the river for placing the cage, Liu Xinyu guided Liu Qingsong to put the prepared bait into the cage, then squatted down beside the aquatic plants with a cage and put the cage into the water while explaining.

"Is this good?" Liu Qingsong asked with a frown.

Just like this, is it too simple? Can we catch eels?

"I don't know if I can catch him. I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out. Anyway, that's how my dad let him go." Liu Xinyu tied the long rope tied to the cage to a small tree by the river to avoid running away from the cage.

When Liu Xinyu was demonstrating, Zhang Hongliang listened and watched carefully. When Liu Xinyu put a cage in place, he followed Liu Xinyu's example and took a cage, put the bait in it, and squatted down by the water plants.

He planned to put one next to the cage that Liu Xinyu had placed, but after thinking about it, he felt it was wrong. He looked up at Liu Xinyu and met Liu Xinyu's teasing gaze. He paused slightly with his hands and his face felt slightly feverish.

Liu Xinyu didn't need to speak, he already knew in his heart that he couldn't do this.

The two cages should be kept a little distance apart and should not be close to each other.

Embarrassed to look at Liu Xinyu again, Zhang Hongliang silently stood up and walked a few meters to the side. Following Liu Xinyu's demonstration just now, he lowered the cage. It wasn't until the rope was tied that Zhang Hongliang calmed down.

More than twenty cages were quickly placed.

Because it was the first time, and to make it easier to collect the cage in the morning, we didn’t open too far apart.

There were more than 20 cages, and only three adjacent aquatic plants were found.

After placing the cage, the next step was to go to the paddy fields to look for eels like yesterday.

"Hey, be careful, there is a snake here!" Liu Xinjian used the torch in his hand to burn the small snake coiled on the field ridge.

Chen Zhaodi was trying hard to find a suitable reason to send Zhang Hongliang away, and Liu Xinjian discovered the logical reason: "Hong Liang, don't go there without wearing rain boots. So, please send Xinyu home first."

Anyway, Liu Qingshan and Liu Xinjian have learned to use tools to catch eels, and it doesn't matter whether Liu Xinyu is there or not.
Chapter completed!
