Captain Lu's eyes turned red with anger: "Liu Qingshan, you people from Daba Village have caught a lot of things in this mountain. You are so shameless to tell me about these things now."
Captain Liu shrugged and said, "Did you see us arresting you? If you saw it, you can report it.
But now we can see clearly that you have frogs stewing in your shed!"
The man following closely behind Captain Liu made a move to rush into the shed.
Lu Zhiye and Dachao stood in front of the shed.
Da Chao was so angry that he was gasping for breath and wanted to punch Captain Liu in the face.
Life was hard these days, and every man in the village would secretly go and hunt some game in the mountains to bring back for his family as long as no one was seeing him.
Even the leaders of the commune turned a blind eye. After all, people have to live their lives, right?
Who knew that Captain Liu would openly tear off this fig leaf.
Captain Lu saw clearly that Liu Qingshan would not give up unless he brought back something today.
His face was gloomy, and his voice was filled with anger: "It's impossible to give you half. Even if I agree, the men in the village won't agree!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dachao and the others glared at Captain Liu.
Captain Liu knew this was impossible. He smiled on his dark face and said, "Old Lu, I won't make it hard on you. Tell me where you caught the frogs. We won't make it hard on each other. We'll let this go."
Dachao was very impatient: "Why? Why should we tell you the place we worked so hard to find?"
Captain Liu ignored him and just looked at Captain Lu with a smile.
Captain Lu sighed heavily and called Lu Jianguo: "Go, take them there!"
"Captain!"
“Brother!”
Captain Lu didn't want to do that, but the people in Dam Village were extremely hungry.
If they were really reported to the commune, they would not be able to get away with anything good.
Captain Liu reached out and patted Lu Jianshe on the shoulder: "Thank you, brother Lu!"
Captain Lu slapped his hand away in disgust and just said to Lu Jianguo, "Go quickly and come back soon."
Lu Jianguo walked forward with his hands behind his back, but before he had taken two steps, Liu Qingshan called him, "Wait a minute, let's go back and get our things."
Liu Qingshan left triumphantly with his group of people.
Lu Zhiye's eyelashes trembled slightly. He couldn't stand Liu Qingshan's smug look.
Moreover, given Liu Qingshan's character, even if he really caught the forest frog, he would not be generous enough to share it with the villagers.
In this regard, Captain Lu is much more virtuous than him.
While no one was paying attention, Lu Zhiye slipped into the woods.
When they arrived at the warm spring, they broke a piece of ice and found a hibernation site of the wood frog that had not been turned over by them.
He stretched out his slender hand, and with a thought, many forest frogs along with the stream water were sent into the pond in the space.
Seeing that the harvest was almost done, Lu Zhiye walked briskly towards the place where the villagers of Dam Village went to work.
Before long, everyone in Dam Village knew that their team leader had taken people to catch forest frogs to serve as a meaty treat for everyone.
So when Lu Jianguo and Liu Qingshan arrived at Nuanquan, they turned the stream upside down and only caught a hundred or so forest frogs.
Lu Jianguo was puzzled. That was not right. Could it be that they had caught all the frogs in the afternoon? He remembered that half of the stream had not been turned over yet?
Looking at the wood frogs in the basket, Lu Jianguo's face showed a look of pain again.
If they hadn't been discovered by the people in Dam Village, these hundred or so forest frogs would have been enough for them to enjoy another meal.
Liu Qingshan had a gloomy face and led his men down the mountain.
There are more than a hundred forest frogs, and even if they are shared by the few people who brought them, it will not be enough to fill their teeth!
But what made him even more upset was yet to come.
When he was directing his men to sneak back, many villagers from Dam Village were already waiting on the way down the mountain.
"Captain, I heard you guys went to catch some wood frogs. Do you want to give us some meat?"
"Captain, hurry up, hurry up, the water is ready."
Liu Qingshan felt even more depressed when he saw the villagers with smiles on their faces.
Which bastard spread the news!
"The captain is really considerate of us. We are finally going to have some money in our pockets."
"Yeah yeah!"
Captain Liu was held high in the air, and finally he could only pull himself together and said with a smile: "Go back quickly, and let's have a good meal!"
The cheers one after another also reached Dahe Village.
Captain Lu was even angrier!
He called over the people who had gone up the mountain to catch wood frogs today and angrily scolded them, "I told you again and again not to let anyone else see you. Don't tell anyone! Why can't you listen to me?"
A dozen people looked at each other and cried out at the same time: "Captain, we have been very careful. When we came back, we also carried people on our backs."
"Yeah, and no one saw it? I didn't even tell my old man."
Captain Lu paced back and forth, holding a pipe in his hand, and sighed heavily.
"Clean up and get ready for dinner!"
Several people dispersed, but Lu Zhiye noticed that Dachao looked a little unnatural.
When the villagers who had just returned from work learned about this, they were only angry for a short while before their attention was attracted by the shiny forest frog.
Today, the captain’s wife made a large multi-grain pancake. The pancake was soaked in soup, and the large pieces of potatoes were also filled with the aroma of meat.
Finally, each person was given a piece of vermicelli with chopsticks, and everyone ate with relish and felt full in the stomach.
Wen Sihe and Wu Yu looked at the frogs in their bowls hesitantly, not knowing how to eat them.
The captain's wife demonstrated to them with a smile.
The two of them closed their eyes and stuffed the frog into their mouths.
"Wow, this is so delicious."
Wu Yu chewed it for a few times and couldn't help but exclaim.
Wen Sihe's fair face was full of admiration: "Aunt, your cooking skills are amazing."
The captain's wife raised her head proudly: "Of course, this is my specialty. Back then, Old Lu was conquered by this dish of mine!"
The people in Dahe Village were satisfied with the food, but in Damu Village, as there were few forest frogs and many people, they could only chop the forest frogs into pieces and stew them.
There were about four hundred people, and each person couldn't get more than two pieces of meat.
There were four frogs in Liu Qingshan’s bowl…
