Chapter 181: Go catch that snake! It's worth dozens of dollars!

"Our mother went up the mountain."

"Brother-in-law, can you play with me?"

"Shall we go to the mountains to pick mushrooms? Or go to the beach to play?" An Wenyi pulled Chen Hui and said coquettishly.

"It's already this late. It will be dark when we come back from the mountain. My brother-in-law has things to do tomorrow."

"Forget about going up the mountains and down the sea. Brother-in-law will take you to something more fun."

Chen Hui said this and took An Wenyi back home to put the doll down.

A man carried a small bucket and went out, walking upstream along the village river.

"Chen Hui, are you helping your mother-in-law take care of the children?"

Wang Ahua, who lived next door to Lin Jiao, saw the two of them and joked with a smile.

"Yes, now I help my mother-in-law take care of the children, and in the future my mother-in-law will help me take care of the children."

"When you go back later, please help me talk to my mother-in-law and tell her that I have brought Wen Yi with me. Wen Jing and I will go to her place for dinner in the evening." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Yeah, got it." Wang Ahua responded and lowered her head to work on her vegetable patch.

"Brother-in-law, where are we going?" An Wenyi asked, looking up.

"We should be there soon. Just walk a little further up and pass this area where many people grow vegetables."

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Chen Hui asked.

An Wenyi nodded her little head.

"Then why don't you ask your brother-in-law to hold you?"

"Brother-in-law won't carry me. You'll just say 'People need to walk when they grow legs, and children should walk more'."

"Yeah, that's right!" Chen Hui laughed.

Setting rules for the little kids is starting to show results.

An Wenyi curled her lips and followed Chen Hui forward step by step.

When they reached a fork in the road where they had to wade through water, Chen Hui hugged her and let her continue walking.

After they were quite a distance away from the area where the villagers often planted vegetables and farmed, Chen Hui stopped and said, "Okay, we're here."

"Brother-in-law!? Are we here to catch ghosts?" An Wenyi looked around.

There is nothing here except rivers and mountains.

"You little brat! Let's go find stream snails!"

Chen Hui cursed with a smile, bent down and groped in the river water for a while, and found several snails of different sizes.

Throw the small one back, leaving the three larger ones.

He has been sensing it all the way.

There are more stream snails in this area and above, but almost all the ones below have been touched.

"Wow!"

An Wenyi took Chen Hui's hand and looked at it, then raised his own bucket and said, "Put it in my bucket?"

"Okay, everything we touch today is yours!" Chen Hui threw the snail in his hand in, then bent down and started touching it again.

Chen Hui relied on his sixth sense, while An Wenyi could only rely on his own eyes to observe the rocks under the water.

When you see it, reach out and touch it.

"Be careful not to fall, and don't go to deep water!" Chen Hui instructed.

"Know it!"

An Wenyi stared at the bottom of the water and responded to Chen Hui without raising his head.

After a while, you can hear the sound of snails being thrown into the small bucket.

Chen Hui reached into the deep water to look at the snails and discovered that the ones in An Wenyi's bucket were no less than his own.

"Is this the legendary novice protection period?"

Chen Hui muttered something and poured what was in his bucket into the pot.

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?" An Wenyi asked, looking up.

"I said you are very good. You touch more than my brother-in-law!" Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Hey! I'm very powerful!"

An Wenyi shook his head proudly. He was already full of energy, and after being praised by Chen Hui, he was even more motivated.

I gradually forgot what Chen Hui had told me not to go into deep water.

The water was almost reaching the legs of my trousers which had been rolled up to my thighs, but I was completely unaware.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"

Ok?
Chen Hui touched the snail and sensed a scent that was different from that of the stream snail.

He straightened up and looked in the direction of An Wenyi.

I saw the little boy pointing excitedly at the water near the other side of the shore, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

A water snake as thick as a thumb swam out from the grass.

An Wenyi was excited and scared. His feet slipped and he fell into the water with a splash.

The river water suddenly reached her neck, and the water splashed down and hit her face, frightening An Wenyi so much that she burst into tears.

Even though she was crying, she kept her hands raised high to prevent the bucket from falling into the water.

Chen Hui went over and pulled the man out of the water, looking at An Wenyi and unable to stop laughing.

"Brother-in-law, why are you like this?!"

An Wenyi didn't expect that Chen Hui not only did not comfort her, but also laughed loudly beside her. She asked while crying.

"I'm sorry, but that's really funny!"

If she hadn't raised the bucket high, it would have been pure misery.

The little raised hand made her feel both miserable and funny.

"Brother-in-law, stop laughing. There was a snake just now. Go catch it! It's worth dozens of dollars!" An Wenyi didn't even have time to cry and said anxiously.

"Silly boy, are you so excited about a water snake?"

"That snake is too small. After skinning it, there is less than 2 taels of meat. No one wants it."

As Chen Hui spoke, he took off An Wenyi's shirt.

I squeezed out the water and wiped her hair, then wrung out the excess water and asked her to get dressed, then asked, "Are you wearing panties?"

An Wenyi nodded.

"Then take off your pants and your brother-in-law will untie them for you, but you have to untie your panties yourself."

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he turned around and stretched out his hand behind him.

An Wenyi took off his wet pants and handed them to Chen Hui. He moaned on the shore, squeezed the water out of his underwear and put it on.

Then he took the trousers that Chen Hui handed to him and put them on himself.

An Wenyi was soaked all over, and today's snail-catching activity was forced to end early.

Chen Hui asked An Wenyi to carry the bucket and picked her up and walked back.

"Brother-in-law, you are a good person."

"You didn't comfort me when I fell, but you were willing to carry me back home." An Wenyi said, swinging her little feet.

"I'm in a hurry to take you home to change clothes. You walk so slowly that your clothes will be dry by the time you get home." Chen Hui complained.

"Then we can continue to catch stream snails, right?"

“You’ll catch a cold!”

"Oh."

An Wenyi responded casually and looked down at the snails in the bucket.

I felt happy at the thought of having a bowl of green snail soup and fried snails to eat in the evening.

When Chen Hui brought An Wenyi back home, Lin Jiao had not returned yet.

He asked An Wenyi to find clothes to change into, and then he rinsed her wet clothes with water, squeezed out the water and hung them up.

He looked around the room and found an old piece of clothing that looked like it could be used as a towel, and prepared to wipe An Wenyi's hair again.

"Brother-in-law! That's a foot cloth!"

An Wenyi stepped back, ran back to the room, got out another old piece of clothing and said, "Use this."

"Your sister will be here for dinner later. Don't tell her that we fell in the river."

Chen Hui rubbed An Wenyi's almost dry hair and said with some guilt.
