Leisure Mountain Village

Chapter 8 Trouble
Lin Chen got up early in the morning the next day. Looking at the time, it was only after four o'clock. At this time, the temperature was just right. Lin Chen tucked the quilt for his daughter again, and walked out of the room lightly.

Following the marks left yesterday, Lin Chen took back the eel cages one by one, but the more he closed them, the colder he felt. There were more than ten cages in a row, and only two days of eel were collected. The small one was no thicker than a finger. Lin Chen They were released again, and the rest were crayfish, loaches and the like.

What Lin Chen hates the most is receiving crayfish. This thing is a little overlord in the eel cage. With a pair of pliers, it can directly pinch off the heads of loach and small fish in the eel cage.

"In the past few years, the family has been catching rice field eels very well. No matter what kind of catching method this is, it will become extinct!" Lin Chen shook his head helplessly, but there is nothing he can do about this kind of thing. Apart from serving the land, the countryside has nothing to do with it. Relying on these things to make up for it usually, to put it bluntly, there is still no way to make money.

"No, I'll catch up with the morning market and buy some at the market." Lin Chen said to himself, go early now, and be back after nine o'clock, so he must not miss lunch.

The last two cages were left. Lin Chen found one, touched the cage in the grass section and pulled it out, but his hands sank, and he didn't pull it out directly.

"Aquatic weed?" Lin Chen was a little puzzled, so he pulled out with both hands, and finally pulled out the eel cage.

"Huh, there's a lot of goods!?" Lin Chen could already hear the rattling sound in the eel cage, which meant that there were live animals inside. He pointed the eel cage at the iron bucket he brought, and then removed the plastic sheet.

Crackling!

As a result, there was a sound of hitting an iron bucket, and the eel cage seemed to be a folding space, and a dozen loaches and eels fell out.

"Hey...they're queuing up to get in!?" Lin Chen looked straight at himself. This eel cage is only this big, about as long as an adult's arm, and a little thicker, but it's just pretending to be strong. That's it.

"Hey, isn't this a college student!? Why come to collect the eel cage!" At this moment, a voice came.

Lin Chen looked up and frowned slightly. The person who came was the son of the village chief, named Ma Youquan. He was a bum in the village. How many times has this son been stomped in anger.

It can be said that they both look down on each other. Lin Chen thinks that Ma Youquan is idle, and Ma Youquan is completely because his father always compares Lin Chen with him, and every time he calls him worthless, and praises Lin Chen who has gone to college. God, that's why Ma Youquan got angry when he saw Lin Chen.

"How much did you charge?" Ma Youquan leaned over to take a look at Lin Chen's iron bucket, but after reading it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said, "Okay! Lin Chen, you college student also learned how to sneak around?"

"Sneaky?" Lin Chen didn't react for a while.

Ma Youquan grabbed Lin Chen and shouted loudly, "Come and see, college students stole things, college students in our village stole things."

At this time, some people have already gone to the field, or there are people looking at melon fields and greenhouses. Wild ditches and wild ponds are usually on the edge of the field. When Ma Youquan shouted, many people were attracted.

Ma Youquan held Lin Chen tightly, and said excitedly, "I thought college students were amazing, but they can steal things. Lin Chen, you are really embarrassing to your parents."

Lin Chen's face changed suddenly when he heard that, and he said coldly, "Ma Youquan, if you want to be beaten, just say so, your father is the village head, and I would dare to beat you just as much."

Ma Youquan was taken aback, Lin Chen threw the clothes out of his hands with a flick, Ma Youquan smiled angrily, and then said, "All right, all right, I see you keep going, let's all come and see, the college students from the Lin family are stealing things. If you steal something and get caught, you can still play tricks.”

Surrounded by seven or eight people, everyone is from the same village, so they all know each other naturally, someone said, "Don't fart in the morning, Lin Chen won't steal anything if anyone steals it."

"That's right, Lin Chen is a college student, and you think you have the same lack of quality as you." Someone said, causing the others to laugh. Although Ma Youquan is the son of the village chief, he doesn't do his own job, and few people really think highly of him.

Ma Youquan was blushing at this time, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, you all look down on me, but I have evidence today, Lin Chen is stealing something."

Lin Chen adjusted his clothes beside him, and said, "What evidence do you have?"

"The proof is in yourself." Ma Youquan said confidently, pointing to Lin Chen's iron bucket and said, "Look at it, look at it... how many things did he put in the iron bucket?"

Several people raised their heads to take a look, and someone said in surprise, "Yo, there are quite a lot, Lin Chen, there must be at least a catty of rice field eels in it!?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Not sure, I haven't weighed the cage I just got up, but it should look similar."

Someone said, "Ma Youquan, you can't accuse someone of stealing just because they received too much goods!? There is no such reason in the world."

Ma Youquan glared at the man and said, "Blind Chen, blind Chen, no wonder people say you are blind, use your eyes to see how many cages he collected in total, how could he collect so many goods, this is obviously stolen Put someone else's cage in your own barrel."

When Ma Youquan said this, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, because what Ma Youquan said seemed to make sense. Lin Chen had a dozen cages on him, and the bucket contained at least three catties of goods. This was not uncommon more than ten years ago, but Now it does come as a bit of a surprise.

"Then it can't be said that he stole things, maybe Lin Chen is lucky!?" Blind Chen still helped Lin Chen.

Ma Youquan curled his lips and said, "Why don't you see that he is lucky, and he is the only one who is lucky. His things are ironclad evidence, and he can't explain it at all. I didn't expect that a dignified college student would learn to steal. No wonder he can't get along in a big city. Come back to farm, shame on you!"

Lin Chen cast a glance at Ma Youquan, feeling a little emotional in his heart. No wonder the old saying goes that misfortune depends on blessing, and misfortune rests on blessing. Unexpectedly, this is true. Needless to say, the goods in the cage just now must be because of the spiritual spring water. As a result, otherwise it would be impossible to have so many goods, and now I still have a cage filled with spiritual spring water, which is just used to relieve difficulties.

"I said Ma Youquan, don't be jealous of others if you don't have the skills yourself, do you think everyone is just like you, getting out of the cage just by luck!?" Lin Chen said disdainfully.

Ma Youquan sneered, "Don't fool me, none of us have been in cages for decades, no matter how good your skills are, it is impossible to get so many things in a dozen cages."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Oh!? Is that so? I still have a cage in the water. If the goods in that cage are also good, will it prove my innocence?"

Blind Chen said from the side, "That's for sure, we will all testify for you, don't let Ma Youquan be arrogant."

Ma Youquan glared and said, "Blind Chen, do you want to die!? But Lin Chen, don't be crazy. If there is nothing in your cage, do you admit to stealing?!"

Lin Chen thought for a while and thought, "If so, are you admitting that you falsely accused me!?"

Ma Youquan raised his head and said, "Okay! If I falsely accuse you, I will go to your door and apologize to you later. If you steal something... I will call the police and arrest you!"

"Okay!" Lin Chen shrugged, and then said, "Then let's set up the eel cage!"
