Chapter 53 Letting the crabs return to the ditch

    ?

    Following Tan Tingwa throwing the small muddy crab into the bucket with her hands, it was announced that the first crab was successfully caught!  Yang Er and I hurried to the side of the bucket.

    To be honest, this crab is really small.

    The crab shell is only as big as a strange-flavored pea, and the crab claws and crab legs are very miniature, only the thickness of a matchstick.

    ? Like crab eyes the size of sesame seeds, with ridges on the outside, the specific changes in eyes cannot be seen clearly.

    The little crab that had just been taken out of the nest was very frightened and ran around at the bottom of the bucket, eager to find the exit.

    Probably it still doesn't understand its situation, after all, this little body can't see the environment outside the barrel at all, and it doesn't even know how far it is from home.

    "Yang Er, do you want to wash the little crab?" I said while staring at the little crab in the bucket.

    "It's okay, you don't need to wash it, crabs are like this, they like dirt very much," Yang Er said.

    Do you like dirt?  With this question in mind, I carefully observed the crabs in the bucket.

    At this time, the crabs are covered in mud due to running around in the bucket, including the eyes and the corners of the mouth.  It is constantly combing the dirt on its body with small pliers.

    But on the other hand, I think what Yang Er said is quite reasonable.

    The crab hole is made in the soil, and if you go deep into the hole, you will find water in it.  If the soil has been soaked in water for a long time, it will definitely soften, and there will be a lot of mud mixed in the water.

    The little crab lives in a cave full of mud, and I really can't think that it hates mud.

    Well, if this is the case, then I will give up washing it.

    Tan Tingwa, who was walking in front, was very agile, and she really had a knack for catching crabs.

    Yang Er and I followed behind, responsible for carrying buckets and logistics.

    It didn't take long, we caught 4-5 crabs, and they were crawling around in the bucket, which was very interesting.

    "These crabs are so small." Following my comments, Tan Tingwa showed an apologetic expression.

    It seemed that he was responsible for not catching the big crab.

    "Does this little crab eat all kinds of food?" I said to the two of them holding the bucket.

    "!!!!!! Do you want to eat them?" Tan Tingwa and Yang Er looked at me with ghostly eyes at the same time.

    "Don't you think the little crab is cute?" Yang Er continued.

    "Well, it's very cute. I used to eat deep-fried crabs. They were golden and crispy, and very fragrant, but they were much bigger than this crab." I compared the size of the crab I ate before with my hand.

    "Are you kidding? You can't bear to eat at such a young age?" Yang Er said with a look of horror.

    "I'm just asking you guys. I haven't eaten such a small one. I don't know if it's more crispy."

    "Give me the bucket!" Yang Er snatched the bucket from my hand and said, "When you stared at these little crabs, your eyes lit up and your saliva almost dripped down!"

    "No way! I'm just curious about the taste of the little crab", Gudu!  With the throbbing of my Adam's apple, I swallowed my uncontrollable saliva.

    "You! Did you swallow your saliva just now!" Yang Er hurriedly put the bucket behind him, so as to stay away from my sight.

    "I didn't! You are dazzled!" Dead Yang Er!  Why stare at me if you have nothing to do, just stare at crabs when you catch crabs!

    "Small crabs can't be eaten, such cute crabs, why would you want to eat them?" Yang Er tried to stay away from me, made a clear expression, and continued: "When the crabs grow up,  You can only eat it, this little crab has only been born for a short time, it¡¯s so pitiful.¡±

    alright, you win!  I am really convinced!  I just simply looked at the crab, and I became like a heinous big devil.

    "Then tell me, why not eat this little crab?" I asked Yang Er.

    "We can take it home and raise it, and eat it when it grows up." The naive Yang Er thought that the crab could grow as big as it seemed.

    Others are living well, but you want to take it home and raise it yourself. Do you know what it eats?  Can it thrive far from its own home, trapped in unfamiliar surroundings?

    "Are the crabs you caught earlier still there?" I asked when I heard that Yang Er wanted to raise the crabs by himself.

    "Do you know that I have caught crabs and brought them home before?" Yang Er stared at me with a miraculous expression. Seeing that I hadn't spoken, he continued: "I have caught crabs with Tan Tingwa several times before and brought them home, but they didn't raise them for long.  died"

    Speaking of this, Yang Er felt very sad, as if he felt that he did not take good care of the crabs and let them die.

    "Have you ever thought about why?The crab can live well by itself, but after you take it back, will it die within two days?  "I continued to guide.

    "Maybe the place where I raise crabs is not clean? Or the water is not clean? They don't like to drink water?" A series of questions were thrown at me.

    "I haven't seen the place where you raise crabs, but it shouldn't be the main reason, because I have seen crabs in some places that are not very clean"

    "As for the saying that the water is not clean, it will account for part of the reason. Crabs still have relatively high requirements for water, preferably running water"

    Having just said this, Yang Er interrupted and asked.  "What is living water?"

    I gave him a blank look, I really can't do anything about him, I don't know about this, and I still raise crabs.  "Living water is flowing water, such as in rivers and ditches. The flow of water can drive the air and absorb oxygen into the water. The water in the bucket is called stagnant water, and crabs cannot be raised."

    "Oh, I see, that's how it is." Yang Er suddenly realized that he was staring at the crabs in the bucket in a tangled state.

    "Also, crabs need to eat, how can they live by drinking water? Just like humans, if they only drink water and don't eat, they will starve to death"

    Hearing the word "starve to death", Yang Er was in a bad mood.  Asked in disbelief: "Do crabs really starve to death?"

    I nodded slightly.

    At this moment, Yang Er's facial expression is rich enough, self-blame?  repent?  sad?  Suspect?

    "Tan Tingwa, let's let the crabs go, the little crabs are so pitiful. They have no home, and they will be killed by us at such a young age." Yang Er stared at Tan Tingwa aggrievedly, hoping to get Tan Tingwa's permission.

    "I really don't want to raise it anymore? Maybe this time I can raise it successfully?"

    It seems that Tan Tingwa is the kind of one-sided person, do you think she can raise it successfully?  Ah!  I have to find a way to save these little crabs-although I can't eat golden and crispy fried crabs.

    "Small crabs can't be raised successfully, and they will be killed. They have to be taken care of every day. It's very tiring. Why don't we let them live, and when they grow up, we come here to catch them again?"

    "Ren Tao's method is good! When they grow up, we will catch them, and we don't have to worry about feeding them every day, and we can directly catch the big ones. This is a good idea!"

    Unexpectedly, just after I said something, Tan Tingwa agreed with me. Is it so easy to handle?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
