Chapter 2 Fishing

Pulled his sister Yang Dongxu towards the back of the house, although his sister walked a little slowly, but there was no way, his sister was only two years younger than him. With his malnourished little body, it was obviously impossible to pick up the little girl who was wrapped in a ball and walk.

Behind the south house is the threshing floor, the four houses in Yangjia Village surround the threshing floor in the middle, which is obviously a military stronghold, and the cattle, sheep and other livestock in the village, as well as the granary, and some common property are next to the threshing floor.

"Grandpa, my dad told me to use a hammer and a chisel. Walking into a big room next to the granary, Yang Dongxu shouted to the old man gathered not far away.

This is where the carpenters work in the village, and some of the tables, chairs and benches in the village are made here, so the tools are complete. At this time, several old men were gathered around and interjected.

Inserting a horse is a mental game in the countryside, also known as six horses (walking horses), vertical and horizontal on the six lines of the siege of a large square, inside the things like a Go board like a small square, a total of 36 points.

The two sides of the game start to play a sub, and the small square box has four points to besiege the city and a circle, all of which are a person's sub for 'eating' can have one more word,

A line on the left, count the third point from the top and the third point on the left, if the three children are all connected into a line, it is called 'Sanli Ji', and the same as 'eating', you can have an extra sub.

If you count the fourth point to the left of the following line, you can also use four subs to form a line called 'Sili Ji', and you can also add one more sub.

If it is a small one on the left, count the second point from the top, and count the fifth point from the left with a line below, and use its own five subs to form a line called 'Wuli Ji', you can have two more words.

If the six points on the diagonal are all connected by one person, called 'Liuli Ji', you can have 3 more points, and if the six points of a line are all connected by one person, you can also have 3 more points.

When the 36 points are occupied by both sides, the 'horse' will be 'beaten', and the person who 'bottom' will hit first. The bottom means that the last player to fall first moves to knock out one of the opponent's discs from the occupied chessboard, creating a gap for the other discs to move around.

The first person does not necessarily 'know the bottom', because 'eating' and various 'sets' and 'strips' can affect who ends up in the end.

When playing a horse, the pieces that eat, set, and connect the lines cannot move, and can only fight others, if the opponent's pieces are all unable to move. Then the opponent can designate a child to play for you, and one person can play a 'horse' and then the game continues.

For example, the person who walks first moves a small square to form a pattern of four points that are his own son, and he can continue to beat the opponent who can knock out the son.

Eat and three miles, four miles set to defeat the opponent one, five miles set two, six miles set and three pieces, until the opponent admits defeat, or the last two pieces on the board are lost, and then re-open a game.

Although the game is simple and the rules are not complicated, there are endless variations on the small thirty-six points, and the routines of experienced people are not far behind chess.

And there is no cost to play, just find a flat place to draw a chessboard, and the chess pieces can be used with small wooden sticks on the one hand, and you can use mud heads to take local materials anytime and anywhere.

Of course, in addition to the six horses, there are also four horses, steel nails and three obliques, cow hoof clips, etc., these are all rural board games that Yang Dongxu has played before and the skills are good, in addition to not being able to do some old guys, sweeping several nearby village chiefs are invincible.

Compared with accompanying a few little children, such an intellectual game suitable for all ages is obviously Yang Dongxu's favorite now. It's a pity that he can't participate in something now, even if it's not challenging to participate in playing with the little kid, people obviously won't take care of his little kid when he plays with the old man.

"Take it yourself, don't lose it, and remember to send it back when you're done. "Yang Dongxu's eldest grandfather is the village chief of the village, and he has gray hair, and at this time, he was fighting with the third grandfather opposite and didn't raise his head and shouted.

The old men of the 'master' generation around him did not have the consciousness of watching chess and being silent as a true gentleman, and they kept pointing out on the side, making the battle even more difficult to solve.

"If I have time, I will definitely kill you for a few rounds to avenge the revenge of the year. When he went out, Yang Dongxu glanced at the fierce 'battlefield' before reluctantly turning his head and leaving.

When I first learned to plug in the horse, I was abused by these old men of the 'master' generation, from six horses to cow hooves, all kinds of abused, and the shadows in my forties have not been eliminated.

When failure finally turned into a successful mother, and Yang Dongxu's horse insertion technology reached its peak, these old men were already underground to accompany Lord Yan to start fighting the landlord, and not being able to 'take revenge' became a big regret in Yang Dongxu's life.

Carrying a hammer and a chisel, Yang Dongxu couldn't lead his sister away, after all, he is only in his five years old now, and it's okay to pick up a hammer and chisel for a few pounds and wave it a few times, and it's a little reluctant to pick up both with one hand.

The Robinia River is a large river within a radius of dozens of miles, and it is said to be a branch of the Huai River. However, there are many memories of my childhood, especially swimming in the summer.

Of course, from time to time, I heard from parents or grandfathers that drowning children scared him not to swim in the water when there were no adults, and I don't know if it is true or false.

The wind on the river bank was a bit cut, and Yang Dongxu quickly found a path to throw the hammer and chisel down first, and then staggered down with his sister.

There are reeds and trees on the shore to cover and you can't see far, but the ice on the river is very thick, first pick up the hammer and chisel back, let your sister stand by the river and don't move, Yang Dongxu ran to the center of the river to check, and found that the ice was very thick and safe.

Standing alone by the river, where there are reeds on both sides, the little sister's eyes have begun to roll with tears, Yang Dongxu can't let her cry now, let him take her to find her mother.

Just returned to the river and coaxed her sister without saying a few words, so that the tears in her eyes were put away Don't rain it, Daliang A few little children with thieves and brains have already run over.

"Here, it's already bent, you must not tell my mother. Da Liang handed Yang Dongxu a bent needle in his hand, with a look of fear on his face. Although children in rural areas are skinny, they are obviously very afraid of the slap of their parents.

Not long after Da Liang arrived with his younger brother Xiao Liang, Xiao Wu also arrived with his Xiao Tao. The two brothers held a roll of thread for sewing clothes, and the general carried a bamboo stick.

"Is this bamboo?" said the general, who came down from the riverbank, panting, the bamboo was thicker than a rolling pin, but it was yellowed and obviously not freshly chopped. The length is about more than five meters.

"Almost, I'll rub the rope. Da Liang went to find a toad. Yang Dongxu nodded.

After taking the sewing thread from Xiao Wu, let the general hook his fingers, and then put several sewing threads together to form a rope, and finally slowly strung through the bent needle nose.

The sewing thread is already thin, so the rope that has been rubbed several times is still not thick, and Da Liang is holding a big needle at home to make a quilt, so the needle nose is not small, and it is just right to wear it.

After passing through, Yang Dongxu had just returned it, and Da Liang had already made a lazy toad from some small holes in the riverbank next to him.

"Can Brother Xu Zi catch fish in winter?" Da Liang asked with some anxiety, although at this time rural children have an inexplicable craving for meat, but the matter of stealing needles makes him still in fear of going home and being beaten.

"Remove the word "mo", you must be able to. Yang Xudong took the other end of the kneaded rope and tied it to the chisel.

Then the general pulled the bamboo pole, Xiao Wu carried the hammer, Da Liang followed behind, let Xiao Liang and Xiao Tao stand on the bank with their sister, and a few little children walked towards the river.

"Hold on to the chisel, I'll smash it. When he arrived at the center of the river, he handed the chisel to Xiao Wu next to him, and Yang Dongxu took the hammer in Da Liang's hand.

"Look at it, don't hit my hand. Xiao Wu was a little scared, but Yang Dongxu obviously had a lot of prestige in his heart in this group, so he still took the chisel and put it on the ice.

The chisel was originally used to dig holes in the wood, so although Yang Dongxu's strength was small, the force of the hammer falling with both hands was not small, and it was not chiseled through, so after changing back and forth for more than ten minutes, a large Xiaoice hole in the basin was opened on the ice.

"Stand far away, no one will save you if you fall down at this time. "Untie the rope from the chisel, just now so that the chisel can't be held unsteadily after the ice is chiseled through and the chisel doesn't fall into the water.

Tie the untied rope in the middle of the bamboo pole to stabilize it, and Yang Dongxu asked Xiao Wu, who was close to the ice cave, to step back. Knocked to death the lazy toad caught by Da Liang just now, tore off the skin on one of the toad's thighs and hung it on a hook made of a big needle, and then got a little intestine or something to hang on.

About two decimeters from the hook, a mortar head (a kind of mud nodule similar to a stone but not very hard) was tied to the hook and thrown into the hole in the ice.

"Don't panic when a fish is hooked for a while, listen to my command. The bamboo pole was lying across the ice cave, and Yang Dongxu asked a few friends to stand farther away.

The line is long enough, there is a slurry head with a fish hook to sink to the bottom of the river, and the meat of the toad has buoyancy, and it will continue to swing at the bottom of the river under the action of the current to better attract nearby fish.

It's just that in winter, although all the fish do not hibernate, they eat very little, and he is not sure if they can drop the fish, because he really hasn't seen fishing in winter, and everything is the fish in the production team when he was young.

Although the people in the village are hungry and the fish in the river are almost fine, they must not move, otherwise they will dig the corners of socialism and will be criticized in high hats. And when you can catch fish, there will be no fish in the river in a few years, not to mention that there is no winter fishing tradition in this area.

But criticism and fighting are all for adults, and children don't care. It's okay to dig out the bird's nest, get a hook to fish in the summer, catch pheasants in the reeds, wild ducks or something, adults are only playing as children, get lucky, it doesn't matter if you can't get it, but adults can't participate.

Letting Da Liang and a few people stay away from the ice cave, Yang Dongxu turned around and comforted his sister loudly, asking the three little guys not to come over, while comforting Da Liang and a few people, so that they should not wait in a hurry. Just as Yang Dongxu was speaking, the bamboo pole lying on the ice cave suddenly moved.
