Daily life of fishing and hunting in the 1980s

Chapter 56: Mouth More Poisonous Than Five-Step Snake
After hearing this, Wang Laobian was no longer so panicked. After he was no longer so nervous, he felt a lot more relaxed. "Hey! It doesn't seem to hurt as much as when I was bitten just now. I'm just a little numb and don't feel anything."

"It was a centipede bite." Chen Yongwei looked at him with disdain. "He was big and strong, and looked like a bandit. But it was just a centipede bite, and he screamed like a ghost bitten by a five-step snake."

"Just let the centipede bite you and see how it goes!" Wang Laobian looked at him, "I was hiding so well that even Ah Le couldn't find me..."

"Fuck!" Li Changle slapped him. "You're sneaking behind someone, and you think you're right?"

"Hehe!" Wang Laobian laughed awkwardly, grabbed A Wei and stood up, "A Le, who did you learn how to curse from? Tsk tsk, I almost couldn't help it..."

"You'd better hold back!" Li Changle glared at him with a look like a knife, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back and will cripple you!"

When Chen Yongwei saw that it was Wang Laobian, he thought of the collected trap net and said, "Brother, I think he is fine now. Should we continue to set up the trap net?"

Li Changle nodded, "Of course I will."

"Get out of here, don't hold me back, forcing me to run downstairs again." Chen Yongwei pulled Wang Laobian, who was holding him, away with disgust and went to the trap.

"Lao Bian!" Li Changle glanced at Wang Lao Bian, "Let me make it clear to you first. If the ground cage is missing tomorrow morning, I will go to your house to look for you!"

Wang Laobian didn't expect him to be so difficult to deal with. He said with a bitter face: "Ah Le, I swear, I really didn't want to steal your trap, I just wanted to take advantage of your good luck!"

"You can take advantage of my good luck, all right!" Li Changle said with a sly smile, "If you take a bite of the ground cage net, I'll let you take advantage of it."

"You're too shady!" Wang Laobian said, picking up the crab nets and traps on the ground. "I don't dare to go into the water to set up the traps today. How about this? I have four traps, and you pay me 50 cents for each one, and I'll rent them to you?"

Li Changle sneered, "Get lost! I just made a dozen new traps today, I don't need your broken traps."

Wang Laobian limped after him and said, "Ah Le, you are so lucky, and you don't need a few dollars from me. Please be kind and help me put down the trap!"

"You rich people, one or two dollars is just a dime, but I'm a poor man, and every cent is precious to me."

"I can't even afford the 100 or 200 yuan for my son's corrective surgery. How can I be considered a rich man?" Wang Laobian sighed.

"If I were like you, I would fish for big rice fish, big flower dragons, or snow eels. I really wouldn't follow you and rely on your luck to cast traps."

"Don't complain about being poor to me. It's none of my business whether you have money or not!"

"What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"It's just that stupid thing!" Li Changle ignored Wang Laobian's nagging, strode back, picked up the trap and went into the water.

Yesterday he caught eight traps, plus today's twelve, which makes a total of twenty. He doesn't expect the catch to be over a hundred like yesterday, but he will be satisfied with forty or fifty yuan.

Chen Yongwei put the crab cage on the shore and helped Li Changle put away the remaining ground cages. Seeing Wang Laobian still sitting nearby, he asked, "Why haven't you gone back to check your legs yet? Aren't you afraid of the poison gas attacking your heart?"

Li Changle: "That's right, hurry up and leave. You're going to die. In three years at most, another man will sleep with your wife in your bed and beat your son..."

"..." Wang Laobian couldn't help but pick up a piece of dirt and threw it at Li Changle, "You guy, your mouth is three times more poisonous than a five-step snake!"

Li Changle said angrily, "You scared me all the way. I lost two of my three souls because of you. I didn't ask you to pay for the shock. I did it because your son is my son's friend."

Wang Laobian: "..." This guy, what's wrong with his mouth? He keeps talking nonsense, almost making me dizzy! Chen Yongwei picked up the backpack and said, "Brother, let's go."

"Ah Le, please!" Wang Laobian grabbed Li Changle and said, "For the sake of my Lao Wai and your Xiao Hai's good relationship, please help me get these four traps into the water!"

"I really have no other choice. The doctor said Lao Wai's crooked neck can be cured. It was my fault for not giving the fish to Xiao Hai last time. I just wanted to save enough money as soon as possible so that Lao Wai's neck can be cured."

"It's okay for the child now. If he still has a crooked neck like this when he grows up, he will definitely be a bachelor for life. I only have this one son. If he remains a bachelor, my family will be extinct."

Wang Laowai's neck is tilted to the right. There is no problem when he looks forward and to the left. But if you stand on his right side, he can only see you with his right eye, because his left eye has been tilted into his eyelid.

Li Changle thought about it and remembered that in his previous life, Wang Laowai had a crooked neck when he grew up. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell. It seemed that his parents took him to have his neck corrected.

"For the sake of the two children, I'll help you this time." After he said that, he picked up a trap and put it into the water.

"I'll help you." Seeing this, Awei picked up a trap and went into the water.

Wang Laobian didn't expect the two to be so happy, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Ale, thank you, Awei!"

"Don't be sneaky and scare me next time."

After the trap was put down, the three of them walked back together. Chen Yongwei supported Wang Laobian, whose legs were still numb after being bitten by a centipede.

When they walked across the stone arch bridge of the village committee, Li Changle said to Wang Laobian, "You'd better go see old man Xiang for your legs."

Wang Laobian saw that the lights in the village committee had been turned off, "Please take me to my house. I will ask my wife to call Uncle Xiang."

"Okay!" Li Changle and the other person sent him to the door of his house, then turned around and walked towards home. Before he reached home, he saw Zhou Ruonan standing in the alley, looking over here.

"Anan, we are back."

"What took you so long? If you don't come back soon, I'll go call my sister-in-law and go to the grove together to take a look."

"I was delayed by that guy Wang Laobian..." Li Changle told her what happened.

Zhou Ruonan felt angry and amused after hearing this, "Due to your good luck? How can this person do such a funny thing?"

Chen Yongwei laughed and said, "If he hadn't screamed after being bitten by the centipede, my brother and I would have suspected that it was Wang Mazi who did it!"

Zhou Ruonan nodded, "If it were me, I would definitely suspect it was that guy."

Li Changle said with a smile: "Anan, go and get the money from selling the fish."

Chen Yongwei suddenly remembered the conversation that Wang Laobian had interrupted, and asked with a gossipy look on his face, "Brother, you still haven't told me which woman in the village Wang Mazi hooked up with?"

Zhou Ruonan, who went to get the money, turned around and looked over. "Wang Mazi hooked up with a woman in the village? How did you know?"
