In fact, you don't have to go through the flood control temple to go to the Yin Yang Temple in the direction of Ming Jiu Mountain, but you will pass through the mountain col below the flood control view. To stop the flood, you have to take two detours, and then you have to walk down the same way.

For example, the last time Zhou Li picked up Brother Nan, he didn't go through the flood control view.

But this time he chose to visit.

The old viewer is still kind, and his body is also tough.

On the contrary, it is an old demon, who has only been seen for a few days, and seems to be a little older.

The old viewer was very happy to see that Xiao Zheng had another friend, and he laughed all the way, especially after Brother Nan chatted with him about the radishes and cauliflower for a long time, he was even happier, and even wanted to leave the two young people for dinner. Zhou Li declined.

Continue your journey.

Zhou Li carried a lot of things, in addition to the dishes that Brother Nan packed for Zheng Zhilan's father, as well as the hoofs, fishing tackle and other things bought from the town, which were a bit heavy.

When we arrived at the Yin-Yang Temple, it was almost dusk.

When the two were still walking on the village path, they heard the sound of thrashing in the distance, one at a time, very rhythmic.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Voices echoed over the deserted village, shattering the silence.

It also echoes in the depths of the valley clouds.

Brother Nan was the first to hear the thrashing sound, she turned her head and asked Zhou Li, "Do you know what this sound is doing?"

"I don't know. ”

"Laundry. ”

"Oh~~" Zhou Li dragged a long tail note, and he suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he often heard such a sound by the river and the weir pond.

"Hurry up!"

Brother Nan quickened his pace.

Zhou Li had to shake off his backpack and quickly followed.

Zheng Zhilan was really doing laundry.

There was a stone platform in front of her yard for washing things, and now there was a thick winter coat on the stone platform, which was even heavier when it was stained with water, and she was beating her clothes vigorously with a mallet. Seiwa stood by and watched, with two buckets full of water on the left and right.

The water in the mountains is cold in summer, and besides, it is only the beginning of the first month, and the little girl's hands are red from the cold.

"You're here?"

Zheng Zhilan raised her head and looked at them, and suddenly her face turned red: "I saw that you didn't arrive, so you washed your clothes first." ”

"Why don't you use a washing machine? Brother Nan asked.

"I'm afraid of wrangling, some clothes are not suitable for washing in the washing machine. There's nothing to do anyway. Zheng Zhilan said shyly, life on the mountain is very boring, and you always have to find something to do after practicing.

Brother Nan was a little distressed, walked up to her, and grabbed her red hand: "Is it cold?"

"I'm not too afraid of the cold. ”

"I'll wash it for you. ”

As he spoke, Brother Nan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white and pure arms.

Miss Xiao Zheng was a little overwhelmed and wanted to refuse, but suddenly she was a little stupid. In her mind, Brother Nan was both a guest and her rare friend, so how could there be any reason to let the guests help wash the clothes? Besides, she was reluctant to let Brother Nan freeze.

The water is so cold.

Before she could organize the language, Brother Nan said again: "It's almost dusk, let's go fishing for an hour after washing early!

Zheng Zhilan didn't speak, only lowered her head and hummed.

Zhou Li entered the house, took out the contents of the backpack one by one, and asked the two of them one by one whether they should put them in the refrigerator or outside.

When he was done, he sat on the threshold in a daze.

The two girls were chatting while washing clothes, and when Zheng Zhilan asked why Huaixu didn't come, Brother Nan replied that he was enjoying life at Zhouli's house, and Zheng Zhilan asked them if they had gone to Zhihongguan on the way here, and then she said that she had gone to visit the old temple a few days ago......

In the afternoon, the sun is golden and time is slow.

Zhou Li leaned his head against the door frame.

It's not that he's lazy, it's just that it's not convenient for him to help wash it. Not only is it inconvenient to wash, but it is not even convenient to look at.

The washed clothes are packed in buckets and have to be carried upstairs to dry.

In Brother Nan's eyes, Zheng Zhilan is a weak girl, and this has nothing to do with strength, so she hurriedly lifted the bucket and one in each hand. When she passed by Zhou Li, she deliberately bumped into Zhou Li.

"You're comfortable!"

She said.

Coming down from the upper floor, they took their fishing tackle and went to the stream.

In winter, most earthworms will burrow deep into the soil and are difficult to dig, but Qinghe has unique skills and experience.

Zhou Li had never fished, everything was made by Brother Nan for him, until he threw the bait into the pool, floating half floating and half sinking, and Brother Nan handed over the bamboo pole to him, which was also very intimate.

"Okay, if it's floating, you can pull, understand?"

"Yes. ”

So the three of them and one demon sat down quietly by the waterhole.

For a long time, the float was motionless.

Brother Nan is usually a vigorous and resolute person, and she seems to be very impatient, but in fact, she can show more patience than ordinary people in many aspects.

These 'many aspects' can be summed up in one word -

Play.

She can pile up the building blocks into a castle little by little without being accompanied by adults, she can spend a lot of time making toys out of bamboo or stacking hundreds of dried paper tofu, or she can stare at the water without saying a word, as she is now...... As long as she finds it fun, she can invest a lot of time and enjoy it.

On the contrary, Zhou Li, a novice, was a little uncomfortable.

"Why haven't you taken the bait?"

"Don't worry. ”

"Didn't you scare them last time? ”

"Fish don't have that good memory. ”

"Why is that?"

"Shh

"Oh. ”

Zhou Li was quiet again.

Soon, Nan's float began to shake, and after she pulled the rod up, there was a small fish less than two fingers wide hooked on it.

"It's best to eat such a big fish fried and fried. "The fish in the creek are good for frying." ”

"That's right. Zheng Zhilan nodded.

"Why haven't I taken the bait yet?" Zhou Li asked again.

"Shhhhhh Brother Nan said.

"They still understand me?"

“...... Can you learn from Xiao Zheng He?" Brother Nan looked at Zheng Zhilan and a fishing rod hanging in the air next to him, "No one is so noisy with you." ”

"Yes. ”

Zhou Li nodded solemnly and said to Brother Nan: "Qinghe has been talking, but he is a monster, you can't hear it." In fact, he is the same as Huaixu, he talks a lot. ”

Qinghe, who was on the very edge, silently turned his head, glanced at him, and silently withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the water.

But Zheng Zhilan covered her mouth and chuckled and betrayed him.

Brother Nan punched quickly.

"Bang!"

Zhou Li was silent again.

Later, Zheng Zhilan and Qinghe also opened one after another, and he was uncomfortable, and after a while, his float finally began to move.

"Do I have a fish?" Zhou Li asked Brother Nan.

"Pull it, don't rush it. ”

"Good. ”

Zhou Li hurriedly retracted.

Sure enough, there are fish!

But suddenly, his ears moved, as if he heard an inaudible sound, and then immediately there were more figures around him.

"What are you doing?" the voice sounded in his ears.

“！”

The fish fell again.

Zhou Li silently turned his head and looked at his other self.

'Himself' blinked his eyes twice, which was the real way he would never use to sell cuteness.

"You scared the hell out of me. ”

"Do you want to eat fish at night?" Huai Xu said as he spread out his hand, and two short knives were suspended ten centimeters above the palm of his hand, "Call me, I can help you." ”

"Don't!"

"How?"

"We're fishing and playing. ”

"What's so fun about that?"

"Why are you here?"

"Oh. Huai Xu almost forgot about business, "Just now Zhu Shuang and Zhu Bing came to me to ask me a question, it seems to be a math problem, it just so happens that I can't do it, so I told them to wait a while, I will think about it and give them the answer." ”

“...... Why do you say that?" Zhou Li was puzzled.

"I can come and ask you, you do it, tell me about it, I'll write it down, and then tell them. Don't worry, I have a good memory. ”

“...... Why don't you just tell them that you won't do it either?" Zhou Li had a few black lines on his forehead.

"I want to, too, but you're a college student, doesn't it seem like you're incompetent when I say that? Huai Xu spread out his hands, he wasn't for Zhou Li's good, "And that's your younger brother and sister, they are not all working so hard to be admitted to college, you are an elder brother, and you have already been admitted to college, you must help twice." ”

"......" Zhou Li figured it out, "Do you think I'm a college student, so I can do their questions?"

"Aren't you? You've all been admitted to college!" Huai Xu's eyes widened, "Otherwise, how would you be admitted to college?" ”

“...... Show me the question. ”

"Well, that's it. ”

Huaixu handed him a piece of paper, stood beside him with his legs crossed, and bent over ninety degrees to watch him think.

It's an interesting picture.

Two weeks away.

Zheng Zhilan and Brother Nan also looked at them, but they didn't make a sound, one was afraid of disturbing Zhou Li's thinking, and the other was afraid of disturbing the fish to bite the hook.

Time passed little by little, and Zhou Li was a little uncomfortable.

Mathematics is the subject he used to be best at, and he scored more than 140 points in the college entrance examination, and Zhu Shuangzhu Bing may also have this score, but the difference is that mathematics may not be their best subject. Coincidentally, Zhou Lixing might really be able to do this question half a year ago, at least he thought so, but the annoying thing was that he couldn't do it at this time.

"Take it. ”

Zhou Li handed the paper back to Huai Xu's hand, and said, "You just tell them that I have been in college for too long, and I have already returned these to the teacher." ”

"Oh, no, but I ...... How embarrassed I am!"

"It's me. ”

"Oh, that's right!" Huai Xu figured it out for a moment, "Then I'll go, you guys will eat fish at night and leave me some!"

"Peng!"

Until dark, the three people and one demon caught a total of thirteen fish, all of which were small fish, of which Zhou Li contributed one.

The small fish was simply cut and cleaned, coated with starch, and fried in an oil pan until golden brown and crispy, and even the old monsters in Yancheng came to eat two. Then Zheng Zhilan heated the dishes brought by Brother Nan and cooked an egg soup, which only burned when it was dark to have a special taste of life.

By the time we were served, it was already completely dark.

The shadows cast by the incandescent lamp are very heavy, and when the shadow sways to the table, it is often difficult to see the dishes in the bowl, and you don't know what is being sandwiched.

Zheng Zhilan mentioned that she hadn't cleaned up the house for them yet, and Brother Nan immediately said: "We only live for two days, don't be so troublesome, you just need to clean up a room and come out......"

When he heard the first half of the sentence, Zhou Li immediately chuckled in his heart, and he had even begun to think about how to refuse tactfully so as not to anger Brother Nan.

"I slept next to you. Brother Nan said to Zheng Zhilan.

"Okay. ”

"Ahem, I suggest you don't say yes. Zhou Li said solemnly, Brother Nan and Zheng Zhilan's schedules are very different, one can be reversed day and night, and the other has an abnormal schedule, and it is not good to sleep together.

"you. ”

"Oh. ”

"Don't worry, I sleep honestly. Brother Nan said to Zheng Zhilan.

"How do you know if you're asleep?" Zhou Li asked again.

"I'll show you a baby. Brother Nan clenched his fists.

“......”
