Chapter 8 - Troubleshooting
Only after the sun had set did he return home to eat. He had to catch a field chicken while it was still sunny. Waiting for a rainy day would make it difficult to catch one.
Tang Yu created a blog to summarize his experience of catching chickens in the fields and shared it. He wanted more people to catch more chickens in the fields. It was just that his extraordinary insight and night vision were unable to be shared.
Tang Yu took the flashlight out the door. In order to not worry his parents, he wore water shoes, so that even if he was bitten by snakes, the thick layer of rubber could block it.
The scorching heat during the day and the gentle breeze at night made the riverside in the fields very refreshing. These two nights, Tang Yu had been hunting in the fields and ditches. Tonight, he caught the Qinghe River's shore from the ditches in the fields alone.
Tang Yu walked along the river side, but did not drive his flashlight.
There were a lot of mosquitoes along the weeds by the river, and he could see four or five chickens at a time.
This caused Tang Yu to be overjoyed, catching them happily. One could knock him down if he walked faster.
After looking at the river bank, Tang Yu was so happy that he went crazy. In this flat patch of grass, it was unknown how many field chickens were squatting there.
The most concentrated area was next to a big rock. It had an area of four to five square meters, and there were actually seven to eight field chickens squatting there.
Tang Yu decided to win with speed. He put down the basket, held the barrel in one hand and moved the other, preparing to go all out.
However, no matter how fast his hands were, there were still many agile chickens that found him and jumped into the river. It would not be easy to catch a field chicken in the water.
Tang Yu grabbed half a bucket in one go, then sat beside a large rock and slowly tied them up with grass before throwing them into the basket, joyfully saying, ”If only there was a live broadcast.”
”Who, who's behind?” Someone climbed up from behind the boulder. The flashlight light shot towards Tang Yu's face.
”Li Dongfang, you also came to capture Tian Chou.” Tang Yu mocked.
Li Dongfang's flashlight shot into Tang Yu's basket, and immediately exclaimed: ”So many field chickens.”
”Who is it in the east?” ”Who caught a field chicken?” A thirty plus year old woman dressed in an alluring manner climbed up the boulder.
”Li San-mei.” Tang Yu felt that it was weird, Li San-mei was already the mother of two kids, her husband, Li San, had been helping people move bricks at construction sites for the past few years in order to allow two kids to go to school. Only when they were busy with farming did he go home to help with planting. He used his full strength in his eyes and noticed that she was a little strange.
”About that, we'll stay here and enjoy the shade.” Li San-mei also seemed to have realized something, his face immediately flushed red, and guiltily avoided Tang Yu's gaze.
Tang Yu immediately despised these two people. If there was nothing wrong, why didn't they go to the other side of the road to enjoy the cool air and come to the river?
Perhaps it was due to the innate sensitivity of women, Li San-mei explained: ”Our two families' Tian Bei slept together, it was too hot during the day. We met after eating dinner to put some water in the fields. ”
However, Li Dongfang did not think in that direction. When he saw Tang Yu's half a basket of field chickens, his eyes immediately turned red. He also frequently went to the city and knew that this wild chicken could be sold for over forty catties.
This basket weighed at least a hundred catties, which was more than four thousand yuan.
”Tang Yu, how did you catch this wild chicken?” Li Dongfang said anxiously.
Tang Yu didn't want to talk to this kind of person, so he said: ”I caught them with my hands, you guys chat. I'm leaving. ”
Tang Yu carried his basket and was about to turn around to leave, but instead, he smiled coldly and said: ”You're not telling me right? If you don't tell me, I won't let you catch the field chicken.”
Li Dongfang jumped off the boulder, rushed to the front of Tang Yu and without saying a word, he took his flashlight and started walking around randomly.
After being frightened by him, the chickens on the shore jumped into the river.
When Tang Yu saw this, he was extremely angry, and said angrily: ”Li Dongfang, what do you mean?
Li Dongfang stared coldly at Tang Yu, and said evilly: ”What, you are only allowed to carry a basket and catch chickens, and aren't allowed to let me catch chickens while shooting flashlight, how about it, I still caught one.”
This field chicken was something that he had walked over too quickly, he had stepped on it with his foot. Otherwise, with his eyesight and hand speed, touching its butt would be a problem.
Li San-mei also anxiously followed along with Li Dongfang's footsteps.
Tang Yu didn't want to argue with a person like Li Dongfang who didn't have any morals, so he said: ”Okay, you catch your field chicken, I'll catch mine.”
He wanted nothing more than to be bitten by a snake in the grass.
Tang Yu turned and walked to the other side, but Li Dongfang anxiously caught up with him. He ran in front of Tang Yu and stopped right in front of him. Two of the smaller ones were still there. He rushed over excitedly. The field chicken felt the light change as it also jumped into the river.
”Aiyo, this field chicken is really hard to catch. Third Aunt, just you wait. I caught the chicken, let's go home for supper. ” Li Dongfang squeezed in proudly.
Tang Yu looked at him angrily, then turned again and headed towards the field ditch.
Seeing that, Li Dongfang caught up once again, running in front of Tang Yu: ”Yo, trying to catch a chicken to repay your debt, you can't do that. I also want to get rich by catching chickens in the fields. ”
Li Dongfang used the same method to make it impossible for Tang Yu to catch Tian Chou.
”Plop, plop, plop!” Seeing that Tian Chou had jumped into the water one by one, Li Dongfang laughed happily.
