"It's nothing, really. I just asked them to try my tea and they were drawn to it. It's nothing complicated."
Zhao Xiaoyang told the truth, but Zhao Baotai's expression suddenly became ambiguous and he came over and bumped his shoulder.
"You little bastard, why are you hiding something from the Second Master? Do you have a girlfriend? Is she related to the Lu family?"
“I really don’t have this!”
Looking at the second uncle's frivolous look, Zhao Xiaoyang's face turned dark.
"Really?"
"real."
Zhao Xiaoyang said with a burst of sadness: "Second uncle, to be honest, I have never had a girlfriend in my life!"
"What? That won't work. Wait, I'll introduce you to someone tomorrow."
Zhao Baotai's face flushed with excitement, and he joked with Zhao Xiaoyang as if he was talking to his own grandson.
I have watched my child grow up, but I never expected that he would be so successful now. He has accomplished everything that they have never been able to do in their entire lives.
He felt not only relieved but also admired.
At this time, Ahua and others came back.
"Uncle, the fish are coming!"
"Yeah, okay, okay!"
Zhao Baotai responded, picked up a stone, walked over, and threw it at the silver carp that Ahua brought over.
"Oh my god, Uncle Er, take it easy, I'll kill the fish for bait!"
"No, no, we have to do this!"
Zhao Baotai waved his hand to refuse: "Moon-gazing eels love to eat carrion, including animal carcasses."
"Smash the fish until it bleeds. That way, once the moon-gazing eel bites it, it won't let go. You don't even need a hook."
After hearing this, Ahua had no choice but to give up.
They had never seen the Moon-Watching Eel before, so it seemed they had no say and naturally all listened to Zhao Baotai.
Then, according to Zhao Baotai's instructions, all the fish were smashed into a bloody mess and supported by their skeletons.
Then just string them up with a thin hemp rope and expose them to the sun with the blood still on!
"Okay, let's just leave it like this for now. I need to go back and lie down for a while. The moon-gazing eels don't surface until night. It's almost midnight now, so there must be something going on. I'll come back tonight."
After saying that, Zhao Baotai and Zhao Yuanzheng left first.
Zhao Xiaoyang did not stay either. Zhao Baotai did not seem to have any major health problems, but he also needed rest.
Let the old man go back and recuperate so that he can work at night.
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, the moon was high in the sky and the group gathered again.
After getting ready, we went to the pond in the back mountain.
Baozi was held by Zhao Xiaoyang and circled around the pond in the back mountain like a minesweeper.
Finally, it stopped at the position where the puppy reacted most strongly.
Then Zhao Xiaoyang put down the buns and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, if you're scared, go back!"
“Woo…”
Baozi whined in dissatisfaction, and suddenly all the hair on his body stood up. He stared at the pond behind Zhao Xiaoyang, and instantly fell to the ground with his belly on the ground, his body shaking.
Zhao Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and said, "Second Uncle, Baozi is reacting. Did you see anything?"
"Haha, don't be nervous, these moon-gazing eels are much braver than you think. They are not afraid of people at all!"
After saying that, Zhao Baotai came over holding a rope with half-dried fish strung on it.
His sharp eyes swept across the lake and finally suddenly fell on one place.
Following the old man's gaze, Zhao Xiaoyang and Ahua both gasped.
A huge head really emerged from the shimmering lake.
And it rose higher and higher, and finally stood high above the lake!
Under the dim moonlight, the tall and thick body flickered with silver light.
The yellowish-brown lines were indeed the skin of an eel, but the extremely thick body made Zhao Xiaoyang's scalp numb!
Is there really such a monster in this world?
Xiao Bao even pinched A Hua's thigh and gestured: "Nimma! This is thicker than Brother Hua's thigh!"
"Okay, stop it!"
Ah Hua quickly retracted his legs, but he was still swiping his phone as he whispered, "Brother Xiaoyang, Uncle Er, look! There are also videos posted online of people catching moon-gazing eels!"
"This is a video, not a photoshopped picture, it's actually real."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyang and Zhao Baotai, the grandfather and grandson, looked at this guy as if he were a fool.
"Whether it's true or not, it's right in front of you, and you still want to search online?"
"Uh...this, this is hard to see clearly." Ahua said with a wry smile.
"Can't you see clearly? Then I'll show you more clearly!"
As he spoke, Zhao Baotai suddenly turned on a handheld searchlight.
Bang!
With the sound of a switch, the light shot towards the towering head in the center of the pond!
The moon-gazing eel actually held its head high and moved its cheeks towards the rising full moon.
That place is bulging high, like a cobra!
There are two conical protrusions on the head, which, under the direct light, look like two horns.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoyang didn't know what to say for a moment.
But something even more surprising happened to him.
"bite!"
