With the afterglow of the sunset, Canghai carried a flatbed cart to the entrance of the village.

"Stop, stop!" Qu Guowei shouted loudly.

Canghai stopped the ugly donkey, turned to the old man and asked, "Bo Qu, what are you doing?"

"Let's go there and see what they are doing in the river." Qu Guowei pointed to the small river at the entrance of the village.

Cang Hai looked up and found that the master's wife Qin Lingling and the junior sister Guan Lin were bent over in the river and picking up something. As for the leader, it was naturally the boy Ping'an.

"When they touch the snails, they are definitely touching the snails," Cang Hai said.

Qu Guowei patted Canghai on the shoulder when he heard this: "I know how to touch the snails. Let's go over and take a look. Just like Qin Lingling, the young girl Guan Lin, takes Guan Lin and touch the snails? Is it enough to have a tooth sacrifice at night? Hurry up, come over and show your skills to you."

When Cang Hai heard this, he immediately hung a few gangsters on his forehead and thought to himself: You old man, if you want to go and play with him, just say it directly. No one can do it, you can do it!

Now Canghai finally understood why there was a word called "Old Child". Today, she took Qu Guowei for a walk around. The old man was like a child. He fished for a while and then went to pick wild fruits. After picking wild fruits, he wanted to climb trees and dig bird nests. He didn't look at the person he was almost sixty, and would Canghai dare to let him climb a few meters high tree?

"Hurry up." Qu Guowei patted Canghai on the shoulder again.

Guan Qidong also opened his mouth and said, "Go over and take a look. I haven't touched the snail in a long time."

After the teacher said this, Canghai naturally had no choice but to obey. He gently patted the ugly donkey's butt and shouted. The ugly donkey pulled the cart along the river and trotted towards the upstream of the stream.

When he arrived next to Qin Lingling's several people, Qu Guowei jumped off the cart, bent over with his hands behind his back, and asked at the few people in the river, "What are you doing?"

"Catch the insects!" Guan Lin looked up and saw Cang Hai and the other two coming, showing off, waving the things in her hand.

The insect in Guan Lin's hand was about one finger long and the thickness of a chopstick, and it was shaking around in the little girl's hand.

"What is this?" Qu Guowei originally thought that everyone was touching snails, but he didn't expect that they were catching small insects in the water.

Canghai took a look and knew what it was. He called this thing in his hometown. In fact, it was the larva of a dragonfly, which is the juvenile form of a dragonfly flying in the sky. It took at least one year in the water, and at most five, six, seven or eight years to grow into a dragonfly with long wings flying in the sky.

"What are you doing to catch it?" Canghai scratched his head a little. This thing was a good insect. Canghai felt that it should be protected. Of course, Canghai was not used to eating this thing. It was like a frog. Canghai would occasionally put some teething sacrifices.

Qin Lingling smiled and said, "When I was a child, I often went to the river to catch this thing and fry it. It tasted very good. When Ping An brought us to touch the snails, I found that there were quite a lot of them in the river, so I touched it and prepared to serve you dishes tonight."

Canghai was embarrassed to tell his master's wife that this was a good insect, so we won't eat it. The master's wife's family finally came here like this, so just eat it.

Guan Qidong was knowledgeable after all, and said, "This is a good insect. It seems to eat mosquito larvae in the water. When it grows into a dragonfly, it almost feeds on mosquitoes in the air. It is not good to eat it."

Qin Lingling smiled and said, "Let's just eat some of these things, but we didn't eat up all these things. There are quite a lot in the river. Look, we just caught them for a while, and we caught about forty people."

Qu Guowei had already taken off his shoes, rolled up the corners of his pants and went into the stream. He walked and said, "We're fine to eat less. Today, Canghai took us to catch a few big frogs."

"Frog?" Guan Lin threw the water in her hand into the small bamboo basket around Ping An's waist, waded in the water to the cart, stretched her head and asked, "Where is the frog?"

Cang Hai smiled and said, "Have you seen a frog before?"

"I have naturally seen frogs, but they are all a little bit. Ping An said that the frogs here are about the same size as bullfrogs..." Guan Lin said.

Cang Hai reached out and smiled and pointed at the red bucket with a lid on the cart: "Where are you?"

Guan Lin uncovered the lid of the red bucket, glanced at Qin Lingling and said loudly: "Mom, mom, come and see, what a big frog."

Ping An looked up proudly at Guan Lin and said, "I wasn't that wrong, right?"

Qin Lingling curiously rinsed the beggar who had just touched the water in the stream twice, threw it into the basket around Ping An's waist, and then walked up the shore: "What's the frog good about it? It's just a little bigger."

"Oh, such a big frog really looks like a bullfrog." Qin Lingling couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the frog in the bucket.

There is a difference between frogs and bullfrogs. The biggest difference on the outside is their body shape. The bullfrog is fat and slapped there like a large toad. The frog is thin, with no flesh on its belly, green back and white belly, and the small body squatting on the ground looks quite slim.

"Canghai said he would make a red oil frog for everyone tonight," said Guan Qidong.

Qin Lingling asked, "Is it a pity to eat such a big frog?"

Canghai said, "Master's wife, I have a lot of things over there, and I don't plan to sell them for money. I can't eat them all by myself."

There are many such big frogs in Fenghuanggou and Jiazituo ponds. You can find one of them lying in the aquatic plants after walking two steps along the pond. If Canghai is just used to treat guests instead of selling them to make money, how can this thing be eaten up? Even if it is sold as long as it is not a dry pond and fishing, there is no problem.

At this moment, Qu Guowei's scream suddenly came, and everyone's eyes were attracted to him.

Qu Guowei, who was standing in the stream, hugged his finger and shouted loudly: "This thing is still biting!"

Qin Lingling smiled and said, "You must be careful to catch it."

Guan Lin laughed and shouted, "Uncle Qu is so stupid."

Qu Guowei shook his fingers twice, smiled and shouted at Guan Qidong: "Old Guan, you come down to have fun too, the stream is quite cool."

Guan Qidong waved his hand and replied, "You'd better play by yourself. I'm pretty good now, and you don't catch too much, just catch a little, there were so many meat skewers left yesterday."

Qin Lingling heard this and asked at Canghai: "In one day, there will be no problem if you put the meat skewers in the water tower on such a hot day, right?"

After hearing this, Cang Hai immediately patted his chest and promised to his master's wife: "It's okay, it's okay to put it on for three or four days. Everyone in our village puts fresh meat in the water tower. You will know it if you take it in the refrigerator. If you put it in the refrigerator, it will not taste good. If you put it in the water tower for two or three days, it will look like fresh meat."

Guan Qidong heard this and asked, "Your water tower can store meat, the temperature is low enough."

Cang Hai smiled and said, "If you stay in such a weather for a long time, you will easily catch a cold."

"Then you have to go and see, okay, you are catching insects here, let's go to the Water Tower to have a look." Guan Qidong became interested when he heard about the construction. He was very interested in all aspects of the construction. He originally wanted to see the incident about the Water Tower yesterday, but who knew that he forgot about this matter early this morning. Now that he heard that this matter was raised again, his interest came up again.

Qin Lingling opened her mouth and said, "I'll go and have a look, too."

Anyway, it was just at the entrance of the village, and there was nothing far away, so Canghai drove the cart to the village and went directly along the river to the next to the water tower.

He reached out and pulled open the door of the water tower, and immediately a cool air came over him.

"Wow! It's really cool." Guan Qidong was stunned for a moment and raised his foot and walked in with Canghai.

"Teacher, be careful!"

Before Cang Hai's words could be finished, Guan Qidong's head had a close contact with a salted fish hanging above his head.

Guan Qidong pushed away the salted fish, and when he looked up, he saw a lot of fish and meat hanging in the water tower. The most was fresh mutton. The sheep that Canghai family had just killed, and the villagers made some of them, and hung them in the water tower and kept them for eating slowly.

"Why are you hanging tightly at the door?" Guan Qidong asked.

Cang Hai replied: "The villagers are not tall, and there is a beam at the door, so it will naturally hang it at the door. Be careful of fresh mutton." Cang Hai saw that his master's wife followed in, so he reminded him.

The villagers are mostly around 1.65 meters tall, and this is still a man. The old man and the old lady have started to shrink at this age. In order to facilitate the convenience of picking up the hanging, they naturally cannot hang things too high. Moreover, this is equivalent to everyone's natural refrigerator, and no one will come in for half an hour without any trouble. They have to wear fur coats to stay in, so it is not surprising that the beam at the door is the best place for villagers to hang things.

Qin Lingling was much more careful than Guan Qidong, and she bent her waist after entering the door.

The belly of the water tower is not good either. There is a well in the middle, and there is an iron spiral ladder upside. The ladder is not big enough for one person to go up, and the bottom part is still hung up. You need to use a hook to hook the ladder down.

Guan Qidong is very interested in water wells, maybe because he is starting to think about getting wells because of his professional habits.

"Is this well water groundwater? No, the groundwater is not that cold. The temperature here is so low..." Guan Qidong muttered in a low voice.

Canghai didn't understand why this was. Thinking that it might be that the space water was magical, when he saw the teacher talking to himself, Canghai talked about his well. Of course, he would say what he could say, but he would never mention what he could not say.

"Prepare more beds. In autumn, I will bring students to sketch. There may be sixteen or seventeen people, and if there are fewer, there will be more than ten. The school has funds, but the fees on your side cannot be too high," Guan Qidong said suddenly.

Canghai was a little stunned: "Come here to sketch?"

Cang Hai knew how to sketch, but it was a little confused when coming here, because in the past, the school used to go to famous mountains and rivers, so why did you suddenly come to your own small village?

"Teacher, I really don't need much money. After growing watermelons, my fellow villagers have also become well-off..." Cang Hai thought the teacher wanted to take care of his life, so he opened his mouth.

Canghai likes to be quieter and does not like a group of people making noise in the village. Teachers can come and a group of students come to sketch. Canghai is not very interested.

"Do you think I'm taking care of your village. The natural scenery here is characterized by its characteristics. The key is that there are few people here. Standing on the slope, there is endless yellow land, and there is a forest landscape in the valley. It's really hard to find such a good sketching place," said Guan Qidong.
