  Chapter 17 Pest Control

   Back at Lujia Village, just as Lu Dong entered the orchard, Hu Chunlan asked, "Have you eaten lunch?"

   "I ate it." Thinking of the situation in Quannan today, Lu Dong said, "Mom, I sold the vinegar dish..."

Before the words were spoken, Hu Chunlan said, "Keep the money for yourself, don't spend it randomly, I'll ask you for it if you need it." She asked with concern, "Didn't you go to inquire about the leech and the monkey? How about it? "

   "There are people in the city market who collect them." Lu Dong said roughly.

  Hu Chunlan sighed: "It's good to have more money to make a living. Dongzi, don't go out and talk."

   Lu Dong is not so sage: "No."

What Hu Chunlan said to him didn't mean the same thing at all: "To exchange these money, those who didn't come are called a joke in the village, I'm old, it doesn't matter, I can't affect you and make you embarrassed, you should find a daughter-in-law after school. "

   Lu Dong automatically ignored the last sentence: "Mom, I'm thick-skinned, it's fine."

   Then, he realized one thing, as if the old lady didn't plan to send him to school again.

   It's true, after years of being a super scumbag, even if my mother had any hope, it would have been shattered long ago.

  Hu Chunlan went back to the house and told Lu Dong, "I ran for a morning and went to bed."

   After working hard in the morning, Lu Dong didn’t say more, rode back to the old house on the 28th pole, and slept for half an hour.

   In the afternoon, Lu Dong began to make money.

  Zhengda auction is such a thing, and the blind cat meets the dead mouse.

   Must have a stable source of income, even seasonal leeches and monkeys.

   Lu Dong took out 1,000 yuan, put it in the Chinese dictionary in high school, and put it in the cardboard box containing the textbooks.

   Knowing that the monkeys are going to be at night, there are leeches in the river.

   After thinking about it for a while, Lu Dong thought of two ways to catch leeches. One is to catch them in a fishing net, and they can catch fish by the way; the other is to find them in water hyacinths.

  The former has been tried, and the efficiency is average. Lu Dong intends to try the latter.

   He found a long bamboo pole with hooks, which he used to fold the buds of toon trees in spring.

   Pulling a black convenience bag, Lu Dong carried the bamboo pole and went to the Jijie gate, planning to walk north along the river bank.

  The flood has dissipated, and the water level of Qingzhao River has returned to the normal value in previous summers. Because the water flow has slowed down, large water hyacinths have deposited on both sides of the river.

  Lyu Dong stood on the edge of the embankment, hooked the water hyacinth with the bamboo pole, and dragged it up.

   The roots of this thing are connected together, and they are all piece by piece.

  It took a lot of effort to drag a piece up.

   Lu Dong pulled the leaves, roots and stems to find leeches.

   A lot of things, when I didn’t look for them, I went out on my own. I went to find them specifically, but I didn’t imagine much.

   After looking around for a while, Lu Dong was somewhat disappointed. There were leeches in the water hyacinth, like the one he pulled up, there were a dozen or so.

   The problem is that it is too small, let alone five centimeters, there are very few over three centimeters.

   Lu Dong only found two more than five centimeters.

   Throwing it in the pocket, Lu Dong pushed the water hyacinth back into the river, and then went to pull a new water hyacinth. This time, there were few people who pulled up, and not a single big leech was found.

   Towed the water hyacinth four or five times in a row, and caught a total of six.

  This job is not easy, it is completely different from what I imagined, there are many leeches, but few are big.

  Any profitable job is not easy to do.

   Lu Dong was not discouraged, and while using this stupid method, he wondered if there was a better way.

  The clouds in the sky are gradually dispersing. Although there is still a northeast wind blowing, the blazing sun falls and the temperature rises sharply.

   Towed and searched for more than 100 meters, Lu Dong harvested less than 20, which was too big.

   Jujube trees stretched in outside the river bank, blocking out the shade. Lu Dong took off his sweat-soaked shirt and stood cool in the shade.

  When I put down the bamboo pole, I bumped into a jujube branch, and a worm fell from the tree.

   Lu Dong took a step subconsciously, and the bug landed on the embankment.

  This bug is two centimeters long, yellow-green, and covered with fine thorns.

   Lu Dong walked away quickly, this is itchy and spicy, the thorns pierce the body, itching and pain, the taste is so cool that I have no friends.

  This thing is everywhere in the countryside, from poplars, locust trees to various fruit trees, to corn trees, almost everywhere.

   You don't even have to show up, the thorns left on the tree leaves can make people feel ecstatic.

   It bears the shadow of countless people going up the tree to pick fruit.

   Lu Dong looked away and saw that the jujube tree had a lot of itchiness and spiciness, and it was almost flooded.

   Wild is left alone.

   Thinking that there are jujube trees and sour jujube trees in many places outside the river bank, Lu Dong put on his clothes honestly and continued to drag the water hyacinth.

   It looks like a lot, but there is no continuity. In the areas that have been rummaged, it is difficult to find another big leech in a short period of time.

  On the triangular dam, the fishing nets were scattered and spread, and Lv Jianren sat on the three-heaped soil, breathing clouds and mist.

   Lu Dong carried the bamboo pole and went over: "Seventh uncle, when will you go to the construction site of the university town?"

   "Let's go tomorrow." Lv Jianren exhaled a puff of smoke, frowning: "I can't bear to part with this river, this water, this fish..."

   Lu Dong only has ghosts if he believes: "You are reluctant to be unfettered."

   Anyway, Lu Jianren is an elder, and Lu Dong can only click on it.

   Lu Jianren threw the cigarette **** into the river and asked Lu Dong, "What is this for?"

   "Catch the leeches." Lu Dong crouched down.

Lv Jianren took out his cigarette and lit it again: "Dongzi, okay, I want to eat this! Your seventh uncle has experience, first boil it with boiling water, dry it and brush it with garlic sauce, then dry it with fire, and take a bite. ."

   "Stop!" Lu Dong didn't say so heavily: "I caught it and sold it."

   In order to prevent Seventh Uncle from saying unreliable words again, he quickly asked: "Seventh Uncle, is there any way to catch a large number of leeches?"

Lv Jianren dealt with those who ran on the ground, those who flew in the sky, and those who swam in the water. The iron rooster stole a few chickens and threw them into the river by bleeding them..."

   Lu Dong has decided to change his past: "Uncle Tie will fight for me."

   Lv Jianren added: "The iron rooster often kills chickens, killing the old, the weak, the sick and the dead to sell white-striped chickens. You go to him to ask for chicken blood, find something to smear and throw it into the river, and try to make a bait nest."

   "It's a way."

   Lu Dong continued to fish for water hyacinths to find leeches. After the sun went down, on the way back to the orchard, he went to the chicken farm.

  July was the hot season, and before I got to the chicken farm, I smelled the pungent smell of chicken manure.

   Even rural people can't stand the rich and mellow taste of chicken manure.

   After staying in this environment for a long time, the body will naturally smell, but you can't smell it yourself.

   As soon as he entered the chicken farm, Lu Dong saw someone and said hello, "Aunt Tie."

   "Fujiko, why are you here?"

  Auntie Tie is highly recognizable, as thick from shoulders to feet. Her personality is just the opposite of Uncle Tie. She is generous and straightforward.

   In one room, the curtain was lifted, revealing the face of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with curved eyebrows and a natural smile.

   She smiled and asked, "Brother Dong, are you still going fishing?"

   "Lanlan." Lu Dong beckoned: "You go to the triangular dam tomorrow to find me before dinner."

   Lu Lanlan was happy: "Good to come!"

  Auntie Tie said: "This girl is greedy. Dongzi, don't listen to her, you just gave a big silver carp."

   Lu Dong smiled and said, "Auntie, I just came to ask for something to use, so I'll exchange it for fish."

   "What do you want? What do you want?"

  In the chicken coop with the open door, Lu Jianbin, the iron rooster, came out with a stride, holding a mixed-haired chicken in one hand and a sharp knife in the other.

Behind   , there is a radio zizi la la singing.

   "Who am I, I am the one who holds the knife..."

   "What are you doing? What are you doing?" Aunt Tie was unhappy: "Look at you, what are you doing?"

  Iron rooster Lu Jianbin quickly put away his knife: "Dongzi, I just hacked your Uncle Tie's chicken cage, what do you want?"

   Lu Dong said, "Uncle Tie, can you keep the blood of the chicken when you kill the chicken?"

  Auntie Tie was curious: "Why do you want this thing? Isn't it for eating? Dongzi, let me tell you, you are young and strong, you are already hot, and eating chicken blood is easy to make mistakes..."

   Lu Dong quickly explained: "Seventh uncle taught a new trick, I will use the river to lay bait."

  Auntie Tie waved her hand: "Okay, I'll keep it for you, anyway, it's just trash."

  The iron rooster Lu Jianbin wanted to talk, but he had to hold back when his wife agreed.

   "Let me keep the blood of the chickens killed recently?" Seeing Aunt Tie coming down, Lu Dong said to the door, "Lanlan, don't forget to get the fish tomorrow."

   Even if Aunt Tie's mouth is garbage, Lu Dong will not take it for nothing.

   When you throw away things as garbage, you can exchange fish from Lu Dong. Iron Rooster Lu Jianbin no longer objected: "I will kill two of them, do you want?"

  Lu Dong picked up the bamboo pole: "I'll go to the orchard to eat first, come over later?"

  Auntie Tie readily said, "Come here anytime."

   Lu Dong turned around and walked back, and heard the chirping sound of the radio again.

   "Who am I, I am the one who kills..."

   There was a chill behind him, he turned back subconsciously, but fortunately, Uncle Tie didn't catch up.

   Back in the orchard, Lu Dong found a broken tile basin, poured some water, and threw the leech into it.

  In a humid environment, this thing is comparable to Xiaoqiang.

   After dinner, Lu Dong considered how to bait the leech.

With    blood, there must be a carrier that can both hold blood and allow leeches to attach.

  Lü Dong turned his head to look east of the columbarium, where there were bundles of straw.

  This thing floats on the river, isn’t it also similar to water hyacinth?

   Smear the blood to make it more attractive!

  Hu Chunlan saw Lv Dong in a trance and said, "When it gets dark, I will catch the monkey."

   Lu Dong put down his job: "I'll go to Uncle Tie's."

  He first went to the back of the columbarium to find some construction lines, which were discarded after being used on the uncle's construction site, which could be used as binding ropes for grain pockets.

   took two more bundles of straw, carried them and left.

   "What is this for?" Hu Chunlan wondered.

   Lu Dong said: "Go and bait the leech."

   When I came to the chicken farm, Aunt Tie was very happy, and gave me a convenience bag with chicken blood in it, because it was not long after being killed, and it had not yet solidified.

   Lu Dong returned to the river bank, and there were very few fishing.

   Most of the people in the village take it as a hobby in their spare time. After all, each has his own way of making a living, and people like Lv Jianren belong to a very small number.

   Lu Dong smeared chicken blood on the wheat straw, tied it to a waste construction line, and threw it into the river in a secluded place, and tied it with a broken stone.

   Place the second one where there are few substitutions, and tie it to a tree outside the embankment.

   As for the effect, I will see it after I catch it at night and know the monkey.

  When it got dark, Lu Dong returned to the orchard, Hu Chunlan pointed to a bag hanging on the tree branch: "Your seventh uncle sent it. He also said, you can continue to use the fishing net and water bag."

  Lu Dong took off the bag, and there were about a dozen large leeches in it, which were still put into the broken tile basin.

Hu Chunlan came over to take a look and said, "Your seventh uncle knows a lot about catching fish. In your father's generation, your seventh uncle is the best at doing this. Our village and Ma's family guard the river and catch fish in the river. To make a living, in the early years, there were eight great diamonds, two generals, and a mountain sculpture, your seventh uncle is a mountain sculpture."

   Lu Dong went to the plastic bucket, ready to catch the monkey: "Others say that Seventh Uncle is ingenious."

   Leeches and monkeys are both pests in the countryside. Get rid of the pests today!

"Even if you don't go to the right place, I don't blame your Seventh Aunt for fighting him all day long." Seeing that her son was willing to listen, Hu Chunlan opened the box: "If you don't want to make money to support your family, what's the use of good craftsmanship? His family is not Your Seventh Aunt is doing a small job to support it? When the nail is big, what will you use to marry a wife?"

   Thanks to the leader of ┆Bailian┆ for the reward, thank you very much!
