There were a lot of eels and loaches crowded together in the bag, and many crucian carps of different sizes entangled together, which was a bit scary visually.

I didn’t realize that these two new female comrades were not afraid of these slippery things at all. They were very brave and caught so many.

"Don't be afraid, they can't come out, and they won't bite people if they come out." Sun Meimei spoke in a soft voice.

"No, I'm still scared." Liu Yao's hands, which were holding the corner of Ning Xiyue's clothes, were shaking. She moved her feet and took a step back.

"We can fry these tonight and eat them together." Tang Xiaohu stood in the water holding a torn net bag and said to Ning Xiyue and others with a smile.

Wang Mengmeng's face was full of rejection, wrinkled into a ball, and she waved her hands vigorously: "Thank you, I will eat in the cafeteria today."

"You are still thinking about the evening. Have you had lunch? If you don't go to the cafeteria now, there may be no food." Ning Xiyue reminded kindly.

"Oh, I forgot. I was so excited about catching fish and eels in the ditch. I'll go eat it now. I'm already hungry."

Tang Xiaohu threw the net bag onto the road and picked up a piece of grass from the ditch to wash his hands and feet.

Ning Xiyue walked to the other side where two male educated youth were having a great time catching people and gave the same reminder.

Everyone had the same reaction. In order to catch fish and eels, they had forgotten about eating.

Ning Xiyue was really impressed by these four people. Others were so engrossed in reading that they forgot to eat and sleep, but they were so engrossed in fishing that they forgot to eat and sleep.

It was really amazing, she thought she couldn't do it.

Checking the time on the watch, Ning Xiyue looked at the four new educated youth in front of her, who were holding shoes and fish, with their trouser legs rolled up high and smiling shyly, and said:

"Hurry up, take your things back and pack up. I'll take you to the cafeteria. Don't get lost on the way and miss your meal. If you miss it, you'll be hungry."

"Thank you, Sister Xiyue." Li Dabing smiled the most foolishly, with a trace of black mud on his face.

"Go now, don't dawdle."

The four of them quickly ran towards the Youth Hostel carrying their belongings. Ning Xiyue stood there waiting for them. She turned to look at Liu Yao and Wang Mengmeng, who were still hiding behind her and holding onto her clothes, and asked, "Are you two not going back?"

I never realized that these two were afraid of eels before.

"No, we're not going back. We'll follow you." Liu Yao and Wang Mengmeng shook their heads like rattles.

"As an old educated youth, I also want to do something for the new educated youth." Wang Mengmeng raised her voice and said seriously.

Whenever she thought about the things those people were carrying and leaving them in the Youth League Home, with no one watching, she and Liu Yao would be the only ones left in the home once they left. They were both scared, wondering what would happen if the things crawled out.

Wang Mengmeng instantly imagined the scene of all the eels and loaches crawling all over the ground in the Youth League compound.

This image occupied my mind and gave me goosebumps all over my body, which I couldn't get rid of even by hugging my arms.

Liu Yao also thought of this, and shook off the image of the snake crawling on the back of her foot and the icy touch in her mind. She raised her hand and said, "We are just going to pick up Ye Chu. Walk more to help digest the food."

I was wondering why the two new female educated youth weren't afraid. This thing looks so much like a snake! Pointy head, long body, slippery slime. Hey, only the color is different; everything else is exactly the same.

The more Liu Yao thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her whole body shuddered.
