"Only an idiot would reach in and touch it!"
Qiao Zhijie stood up from the ground and brushed the dust off his butt.
Thinking of his fearful behavior just now, he suddenly felt his face getting hot and couldn't help wondering why he kept running into this guy Chen Wang wherever he went.
After Old Joe lost his temper last time and almost kicked him out of the house, he began to change his temperament for some reason.
He no longer hangs out with bad friends all day long. From time to time, he goes to the fields to help with family work and also tries to find ways to improve life at home.
For example, recently, he thought of the many plump bamboo mullets that Chen Wang caught in this bamboo forest last year, so he came here every day to try his luck.
But the level is really not enough.
I have seen bamboo slippers twice, but I was not able to catch them both times.
Looking at Chen Wang walking in front, his eyes rolled around and he took a step to follow him.
Even if Chen Wang laughed at him, he still wanted to learn some skills and catch a few bamboo fish so that his family could have a good meal.
Chen Wang turned his head and looked at him.
Qiao Zhijie immediately stopped, looked around, and pretended to be carefully investigating the surroundings.
Chen Wang just smiled and continued searching forward.
On the 8th of last month, he invited his friends in the village to dinner and drinks, and Old Joe was among them.
At the dinner table, Old Joe spoke with a tone of pride and satisfaction about the recent changes in his good-for-nothing son.
Old Qiao usually behaves like a strict father at home and never gives Qiao Zhijie a good look. But in fact, he sees the changes in his son and is very happy about it.
Being able to meet Qiao Zhijie in this bamboo forest means that what Old Qiao said might be true.
Chen Wang had no hatred towards Qiao Zhijie. He was willing to change, and Chen Wang was also happy for Old Qiao.
After all, they are still neighbors, and they may still be neighbors for decades to come.
If possible, Chen Wang would certainly like to have a good relationship with his neighbors.
A few minutes later, Chen Wang stopped in front of a mound of mud, squatted down and searched carefully.
Sure enough, I saw a hidden cave entrance nearby, surrounded by traces of plants and feces that had been bitten off by bamboo shoots.
"This is the bamboo burrow's nest. The small mound next to it is formed by the accumulation of soil pushed out by it when it dug the hole. There are also these chewed plants and feces. Yes, this is the place."
Chen Wang seemed to be talking to himself as he explained how to find the bamboo nest.
Qiao Zhijie behind him was stunned for a moment, a look of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He took a few steps forward, curiously watching what he would do next.
Chen Wang picked up a shovel and shoveled hard in the opposite direction of the cave entrance, about half a meter behind it.
The shovel brought up a large piece of soil, exposing the bamboo rat inside.
There were actually two of them, and they were both fat.
"Got it, got it. Holy shit, there really are bamboo rats, two of them!"
Qiao Zhijie shouted excitedly, like a child who had never seen the world.
It is normal to have two bamboo rats in one hole, and usually they are one male and one female.
The two bamboo rats were sleeping peacefully when suddenly the sky collapsed and half of their home was dug out. They were so scared that they started chirping and quickly retreated deeper into the cave.
Chen Wang is known as the "bamboo rat killer and living devil", so how could he let them escape?
After a few more strong shovel strikes, the entire nest was turned upside down, but the bamboo rat was not dug out.
"Huh? Where's the bamboo rat?"
Qiao Zhijie had a puzzled expression on his face.
“Woof!!”
Ruyi suddenly shouted and rushed out with Dahu and Dahei.
Two bamboo rats had just come out of a hidden exit not far away when they were surrounded by three ferocious hunting dogs.
The hunting dog bared its sharp canine teeth, stared at them with its eyes wide open, and was ready to bite them to death at any time.
The two bamboo rats huddled together and shivered, not daring to move.
"Fuck, this is amazing!"
Qiao Zhijie was stunned and felt extremely envious!
If only he had a hound like this.
Chen Wang walked over slowly.
Dahu made room for him, and Chen Wang raised the shovel and used a shovel-dropping move.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After two shovels, the pair of fat bamboo shoots fell directly onto the floor.
Since they are a loving pair of bamboo rats, they should be kept neat and tidy.
Chen Wang dug the shovel into the ground, bent down, picked up two bamboo shovels, and weighed them in his hand.
Each one weighs about three or four pounds. After peeling the skin and removing the head and tail, two can be stewed in a pot.
Chen Wang smiled with satisfaction and threw the two cute bamboo shoots into the medicine basket behind him.
Watching this scene, Qiao Zhijie's pupils shrank slightly, feeling that this guy was really cruel and ruthless.
Fortunately, I didn't fall out with him, otherwise he would have hit me with a shovel like hitting a bamboo shoot. The scene would be scary to think about.
Seeing Chen Wang's meaningful gaze, Qiao Zhijie smiled awkwardly, subconsciously took a half step back, and moved the shovel out of attack range.
Chen Wang ignored him and continued searching for the bamboo nest.
After a while, Ruyi made a discovery and took him to find a cave.
Qiao Zhijie was extremely envious again.
This dog is so amazing that it can even help find the prey's nest. No wonder Chen Wang and his companions never come back empty-handed when they go into the mountains to hunt.
However, Chen Wang's next move made him confused.
Chen Wang did not simply and roughly dig with a shovel. Instead, he took down the medicine basket, found a suitable branch nearby, and made a strange noose trap.
Qiao Zhijie subconsciously moved closer and stared closely, but found it too troublesome. He could not learn anything just by watching.
"alright!"
Chen Wang stood up, patted the dirt off his hands, picked up the shovel beside him and left.
Qiao Zhijie looked at him in surprise, then looked at the cave entrance, feeling a little conflicted.
Just leaving now?
So should he follow Chen Wang, or stay here to see if this trap works?
Fortunately, Chen Wang didn't walk far and started digging winter bamboo shoots not far away.
Is this the correct way to catch a bamboo slip?
So you used the shovel to dig just now just to teach him?
Of course it is.
Otherwise, with such a simple method, who would be willing to take the trouble to dig the soil?
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhijie felt moved but also ashamed.
When Chen Wang was stupid in the past, he really treated Chen Wang as a fool who could be easily fooled. He took Chen Wang to steal and do things, and asked him to take the blame when he was discovered.
Chen Wang now let bygones be bygones and taught him the skill of catching bamboo slips.
In the silence, Qiao Zhijie felt a slight soreness in the tip of his nose and his fists clenched subconsciously.
I should have been damned before!
If he had treated that silly Awang sincerely and regarded him as a real brother before, then after Awang came to his senses, he would probably have asked him to join a hunting team.
What does Chen Dazhuang have to do with it?
When he thought of this, Qiao Zhijie felt extremely regretful.
