At night.

Mother dragged her tired body back, and her tired whole body was a little unrefreshed.

Seven dollars a day is not so easy to get.

Wang Qiang looked a little distressed, but no matter what, his mother just said yes, he knew that his mother would still go to work in the future.

The mother and son chatted casually, and the dinner ended quickly.

Wang Qiang took a shower, lit a cage of mosquito coils, then closed the curtain and lay on the wooden bed to prepare for sleep. There was no Simmons, no air conditioning, not even an electric fan.

The stuffy air spread through the house.

He casually picked up the pu fan with a crack and gently fanned the wind, the starlight passed through the mottled glass, pouring on the mud like mercury, tomorrow should be a good day, Wang Qiang was in a good mood, if it rained, he would not be able to set up a stall.

I was too tired during the day, and my body was already tired.

Gradually, my eyelids became heavier and heavier, my consciousness became more and more blurred, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.

……

Whew, whew.

The snoring sounded slightly, and Wang Qiang slept soundly.

Thundered.

Several dull noises came from outside the house, shaking the tiled house slightly, as if the power of the sound alone could not be stopped by man.

What was that?

Wang Qiang, who was groggy, smacked his lips, turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, as if it was thunder...... Suddenly, he sat up from the bed, and it was thunder!

He hurriedly lifted the curtain, stepped on the plastic slippers, walked quickly to the window, pushed it open, it was dark outside, Wang Qiang opened his eyes wide and tried to look out, only to see that there seemed to be layers of darkness above his head that were getting thicker and thicker, and the pressure was getting lower and lower, and even gave people an illusion that if he stood on the upper floor at this time, he could reach out at any time.

Looking at the dormant electric light surging in the darkness, Wang Qiang's heart instantly cooled, it was going to rain.

There was a flash of lightning, and the corners of the house were bright, and the giant outside the curtain tore the gray curtain to pieces!

Boom, boom!

A huge roar resounded between the heavens and the earth, and then the heavy rain swept across the delta plains from the southeast coast like a huge waterfall, covering the sky and rolling up. Thunder roared in the middle of the low clouds, ringing in the ears. Lightning, sometimes with its dazzling blue light, pierced the dark night sky, illuminating the metasequoia trees that swayed wildly in the storm, and the raindrops whipped the earth like tongues of fire.

In an instant, the electric light disappeared, heaven and earth merged again, and everything was engulfed in boundless darkness again. There was no shadow of a tree on the other side, and no other sounds could be heard around him, only the deafening thunder and the sound of heavy rain.

Wang Qiang's heart also sank suddenly.

Finished.

A few Wang Ba fishing sticks can't be saved.

And if the rain continues, there is a good chance that you will not be able to go to the stall tomorrow morning.

He always felt that he didn't have enough time, so he couldn't help but curse: "I want you to rain during the day, and now I don't want you to rain so much, what the hell is the weather?"

But what's the use of scolding?

The power of nature is not something he can change.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, the sound of mother's footsteps.

What time is it? Wang Qiang was a little puzzled, and found the lamp rope with the help of the thunder that lit up from time to time, and after pulling it on, he opened the door and saw his mother sweeping the floor, "Mom, are you awake?"

"Why did you wake up so early?" the mother bent over and glanced up, then focused on the ground, "Go and sleep a little longer, I'll finish breakfast and go to work." ”

Wang Qiang sighed, frowned and closed the door, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already half past five in the morning, but the dark clouds covered the sky, so it was very dark, and at this moment, he was even more depressed.

The rain is only falling now, and it seems that there is no hope for setting up a stall today.

Alas, earn one less day.

Wang Ba Angler may not know where to rush, and he has to do it again.

Wang Qiang lay on the bed and let out a long sigh, staring at the shining light bulb with straight eyes, a little depressed.

I thought about it for a while.

There was a sound in the living room.

After about half an hour, the door was pushed open from the outside, and my mother walked in, "Why didn't you sleep?"

"Can't sleep. He replied casually.

The mother ran to the three-door cupboard and squatted down to open the drawer, and took out a raincoat from it, "The meal is ready, you will get up and eat some by yourself later, you should not be able to cage if it rains today, I will go to work." He pushed the drawer up.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang half propped himself up, "Mom, it's raining so hard outside, don't go to work, it's only seven yuan a day, there's no need to fight so hard." ”

"Seven dollars isn't money? The mother stood up on her knees, turned to walk out, and gently pounded her other hand on the back of her waist, as if she had a little back pain.

Wang Qiang sat on the edge of the bed, "No, it's raining outside, if you get up on your bike now, your body must be wet." ”

"No, there are ponchos. Mother waved her hand and stepped over the threshold of the door.

Wang Qiang was not at ease, put on slippers and chased to the hall, and saw his mother putting on a poncho and pushing a bicycle outside, he persuaded a few more words, but his mother didn't listen at all and had to go to work.

The door opened, and she plunged her bicycle headlong into the rain, curling her head with difficulty in the wind and rain.

Even Wang Qiang, who was standing at the door and watching, felt that he had to exert all his strength to ride a step forward, his mood became even worse, there was nothing wrong with going to work, but as a child, it was not a taste to see his mother fighting for seven yuan in such bad weather.

No way.

I don't have time to wait any longer.

He felt that time was pressing, he dragged it for a day, and his parents suffered for an extra day, Wang Qiang's heart did not allow it, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he ran to the side of the vegetable cabinet and picked up the black oil umbrella, and rushed out of the house.

Since the mother can work so hard.

So why can't I work harder?

Wang Qiang decided to go to the cage, no matter how bad the weather was, he would go to set up a stall today, and there was no time to waste for him.

……

Stormy.

In just a few tens of meters, Wang Qiang walked extremely difficult, the slippers stepped into the mud several times and could not be pulled out, and he had to bend down to take them out with his hands, and the umbrella was overturned several times.

When he walked into the reeds, his shirtless upper body was already full of water, and the big white pants seemed to be fished out of the water, ticking and hanging with water.

Wang Qiang's eyes were a little beaten by the rain, and he stretched out his hand to wipe his face a few times, and finally regained his sight.

Putting the lead bucket into the root of the reeds, he simply closed the umbrella, faced the heavy rain, and followed his memory to find a few Wang Ba fishing sticks that were inserted yesterday.

Call.

It seems that there is not a single one missing, and all of them are planted along the bank of the river next to the metasequoia tree.

The raindrops the size of beans hurt a little when they hit my face.

Wang Qiang stumbled to the side of the first fishing rod, because the soil was a little loose by the rain, he easily pulled it up, and pulled it up casually, it was very light, there was no weight, it should not have caught Wang Ba.

When I brought it up, it was true, and the pork liver on it was still there.

Wrapping the line around the rod and throwing it to the ground, he continued on to the second one.

Still so.

The third root.

The fifth.

Soon all the rods were up, and unlike yesterday, the pork liver on the rods did not move today.

Wang Qiang smiled bitterly, could it be that Wang Bayou went somewhere else? No, there were still footprints when I came to see it yesterday.

He had no choice but to prepare to go to the fish cage, which was already completely soaked, so he should get the fish up and go to the market as soon as possible.

As soon as he stepped out of the waterhole, Wang Qiang felt that something was wrong, shook his head suspiciously, threw out the water droplets, and carefully looked at the fishing rod on the ground and counted, "One, two, three, four, five...... I laid six rods yesterday, why are there only five left?"

It rained heavily for about half an hour, and none of the five fishing rods were washed away by the rain, so it stands to reason that the other pair would not, but why was it missing?

Don't......

Wang Qiang felt that there was only one possibility, the soil was loose under the impact of the rain, so Wang Bayi exerted his strength and fell into the river with the fishing rod!

Very likely.

In this cold rainy day, his heart was pounding, and he instantly felt full of strength.

Look, find where that fishing rod is.

Wang Qiang grabbed the reed pole and began to look along the river in the heavy rain, and saw a bamboo pole floating in the water, slowly rowing south.

Over there!

He didn't think about it, he took off his slippers, kicked his legs hard, the mud splashed, and with a pop, Wang Qiang plunged into the cold and biting river, and the whole person couldn't help but shudder, Wang Ba, I'm here!
