Chapter 126 That Ground Cage Net Is Mine
Chapter 126 That Ground Cage Net Is Mine
Over in the grove, Brother Li and Ge Changfa were sitting under two trees at the intersection. Hiding here, they could turn their heads and spot people coming from the gate. Looking left and right, they could see people walking along the paths on both sides of the woods.
He didn't feel the discomfort of mosquito bites even though he was wearing the mothballs. Seeing Ah Fa scratching non-stop, he took out a ball from his cloth bag and gave it to him. "Ah Le prepared this. It's still useful."
"That guy has so many tricks up his sleeve!" Ge Changfa took the mothballs and wiped his neck which was bitten several times. "Second brother, who was the bastard who stole Ale's cage last time? Is there any news about Ale?"
"There is a suspect. You know that person. Ah Le and him had a fierce fight. I dare not say anything until I catch him."
After hearing this, Ge Changfa felt that he had already guessed who stole the trap. "Yes, as the old saying goes, to catch an adulterer, catch both of them; to catch a thief, catch the stolen goods. In this case, only when we have evidence can we talk. Ah Le is not as impatient as before."
"We also think that he is much more sensible than before." Li Changan felt that A Le was doing things more cautiously now. If it were in the past, he would have come to the door and made a fuss a long time ago.
Ge Changfa looked towards the direction of the mudflats and said, "Second brother, Ale and the others should be back by now, right?"
Brother Li checked the time and said, "It's half past ten. They've been gone for three hours. They should be back soon."
"I wonder if they got any good stuff tonight?" Ge Chang said with a smile, "If I wasn't worried about someone stealing the traps, I would have gone with them..."
Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps coming from the other side of the gate.
Ge Changfa immediately stopped talking and turned to look at him. Li Changan patted him on the shoulder and made a silencing gesture, signaling him to keep quiet.
Ge Changfa nodded and looked intently in the direction where the sound came from. He saw two black shadows looking around furtively and walking straight towards the grove, seeming to be holding something in their hands.
"Brother," Ge Changfa whispered, "It looks like Wang Mazi and A Biao. Could it be that they are the ones who stole A Le's cage?"
The moon was obscured by dark clouds, and only a rough outline could be seen through the darkness, but he felt that he would not be mistaken.
"It's so dark that you can't even turn on the flashlight. It looks like something is wrong. Don't say anything yet. Wait until they come and take a look."
Li Changan thought that the grove did not belong to the Li family, so it would not be too late to catch Wang Mazi and A Biao after they took action.
As they were talking, Wang Mazi and A Biao had already arrived at the grove. They stopped not far away from the bush where Li Changan and Ge Changfa were hiding.
Li Changan and the other man even slowed down their breathing. Ge Changfa's heart was pounding, thinking that he was right. A Le's trap net was stolen by these two people.
Wang Mazi and A Biao looked around cautiously, but apart from the chirping of insects and frogs, they didn't see any human figures.
Ah Biao thought of the sacks that Li Changle was carrying at the window, and said nervously but excitedly: "Awang, let me tell you, the Li family has been making ground cages every day these days, and this time there may be more ground cages than last time."
"They are all new nets. The price is not cheap. It was a pity to waste those ground trap nets last time. If I collect them and sell them, I can get at least a hundred yuan."
"Last time the wind and rain were too strong and we didn't bring any belongings with us, so this time we collected everything and sold it for money."
Wang Mazi took out a flashlight from his pocket and drove to the first lane. The dim flashlight light suddenly lit up and the two of them walked downhill into the woods.
Ge Changfa glanced at Li Changan excitedly and whispered in his ear, "Brother, if it is really them, when will they start?"
I've heard before that these two guys have been doing a lot of sneaky things together. They don't even eat grass near their own burrows, but they even steal people from their own village. They are really good-for-nothings.
Li Changan watched the two people walk towards the shallow water area and whispered, "Wait a moment, wait until they start pulling the trap nets. It won't be too late to pull a few more before you start."
There were dozens of traps from several families. Now that they had started, it was impossible for them to just steal A-le's. They had to wait until they had pulled more traps and had solid evidence before taking action.
Wang Mazi and A Biao walked down and found a brand new fishing rope. The other end of the new fishing rope must be tied to a new trap. The two thought it must belong to Li Changle's pig-headed man.
Ge Changfa looked at where the two men were standing, his eyes almost popped out, and he cursed inwardly: Damn it, that ground cage is mine! You bastard, I'll make you pay if I catch you!
"You keep it first, I'll go take a look and come back." Wang Mazi didn't wait for his answer, he walked away with the flashlight in his hand, hunched over.
"Hmm!" A Biao untied the rope and gently tightened the fishing rope with both hands. The water was gurgling under the influence of the ground trap. He hurriedly stopped and looked around. The only sounds in his ears were the hysterical cicadas' calls and the chirping of insects.
Seeing that it was safe, they quickly pulled the ground trap net towards the shore, and soon a brand new ground trap net was pulled up, and then they quickly collected the ground trap net and stuffed it into a sack.
Wang Mazi crouched down, looked around, and said to him excitedly, "Hurry up, there are at least dozens of traps this time."
After hearing this, Ah Biao excitedly picked up the sack and said, "Hurry up and lead the way!"
Wang Mazi led him two or three meters away and pointed at the tree trunk, "Hurry up, there is also a new trap here."
"Haha!" A Biao squatted down to untie the rope and laughed excitedly.
Wang Mazi kicked him and shouted in a low voice: "Are you looking for death?" Damn it, your brain is dumber than a pig!
Ah Biao quickly covered his mouth, looked around nervously, and whispered, "No one is here. It's already this late, and the villagers have already fallen asleep." "Hurry up and try to point to the new trap!"
"Hmm!" Ah Biao quickened his movements and soon pulled up a mouthful. "Awang, you collect the net and I'll pull it up."
"Oh oh!" Wang Mazi rolled up the ground cage and stuffed it all into the sack, then walked forward carrying it.
Li Changan and Ge Changfa suppressed their anger and patiently watched Wang Mazi and A Biao steal the traps. When they thought the two had collected most of the traps, they picked up their sticks and tiptoed towards the direction of the flashlight.
The two did not see the muddy flats on the other side of the trench, but they could vaguely see headlights coming towards them.
Over there, Wang Mazi and A Biao pulled more than a dozen brand new traps in succession. They became bolder and bolder, and their voices could be heard from far away in the silent night.
"Fuck! There's another blue crab!" A Biao exclaimed.
"The new trap is most likely from that monkey Li Changle." Wang Mazi said jealously, "No wonder that dog spent so much money on making the trap."
Ah Biao squatted down to untie the rope of another trap net, thought about it and said, "Why don't we not sell it and try somewhere else?"
"No, it's easier to sell it. If he finds it, we'll be in trouble." Wang Mazi rolled up the net bag and stuffed it into the sack. "I can only go back and collect it. I should have brought some hemp rope earlier."
Li Changan swung the stick at the hunched Wang Mazi, "Fuck your ancestors, you stole someone else's trap and brought hemp rope with you, why don't you just go to heaven?"
"Ah~" Wang Mazi was knocked to the ground by the blow. Li Changan then kicked him, causing Wang Mazi to fall backward, with half of his body falling into the water.
“Wuwuwu…Help…Help…” Wang Mazi tried hard to raise his head and waved his hands, trying to grab something and climb up.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked. Li Changle and his friends had deliberately carried so many trap nets just to lure them in to steal.
"Help me, you bastard! You stole dozens of A-Le's eggs last time. You must be addicted to stealing, right?"
Li Changan roared and grabbed his collar. Wang Mazi quickly reached out to grab his arm, "Brother Li, spare my life. I will pay you, pay you..."
It was too late to regret. With his small body, he was no match for Brother Li, who had been working on the ship for years.
"I'm not afraid that you won't compensate!" Li Changan stepped into the water and pressed his head into the water. After about ten seconds, he lifted it up to let him catch his breath, and then pressed it down again.
Wang Mazi was so sad that he wanted to die. Just as he took a breath, he was pushed into the water again, and his mouth and nostrils were filled with fishy and salty sea water.
What frightened him the most was that Li Changan simply drowned him and threw him on a deserted island, where no one would even know he was dead.
Over there, Ge Changfa hit A Biao's hand with a stick. A Biao grabbed the stick with his backhand and pushed it forward with force, then shook it off and ran away.
"A Biao!" Ge Chang shouted angrily, and rushed over to hug him from behind, "You son of a bitch, you stole my cage, I'll beat you to death!"
A Biao didn't respond. He grabbed a tree, kicked him away, got up and ran away.
According to his experience, as long as he doesn't respond, is not caught red-handed, and refuses to admit it even if he is beaten to death, no one can do anything to him.
Ge Changfa was kicked in the stomach by him. He quickly grabbed a small tree, steadied his feet, and chased after him again.
Seeing that A Biao was about to run out of the forest and into the saline-alkali land, a light shone from the front. Ge Changfa shouted loudly, "A Le, run faster and catch A Biao..."
"Brother Ale, hurry up and catch Wang Mazi and that bastard A Biao." Chen Yongwei, who was walking in front, put down the backpack on his shoulder and said, "Brother, the backpack is here."
After saying that, he ran towards the direction of the flashlight, took the shoulder strap and put on the backpack. He did it in one go. He didn't even look at it when he put it on, and the backpack didn't fall over.
Li Changle threw the bucket to the ground and chased after it like a gust of wind. The earth dragons in the bucket were caught in a net bag, so there was no need to worry about them escaping.
When A Biao saw Chen Yongwei and Li Changle flanking him, he quickly turned around and ran into the woods.
Ge Changfa was worried that he would go into the woods, so he leaped forward and hugged one of his legs. He endured the pain and took a few kicks from him. Then he saw Li Changle stepping on A Biao's back and grabbing his hair with one hand.
"Run!" Li Changle slapped him in the face, "You bastard, why don't you run away?"
"Damn it, he kicked me several times, I must have internal injuries." Ge Changfa sat on the ground to relax, then stood up and kicked A Biao several times.
"Oh my god! Ouch~" Ah Biao screamed and begged for mercy, "Ah Le, Ah Fa, this is none of my business. Wang Mazi asked me to help. For the sake of our friendship, please forgive me this time!"
