Guo Qingke's father is the third oldest in the family, with two older sisters and one younger sister, and is the only son in the family.

Guo Qingke's aunt married into a village not far from them - Likou. As the name suggests, this village is full of pear trees, and the township to which it belongs, Shahe Town, is known as a pear orchard of 10,000 acres. The north of the village is the place where the Yellow River passes through the old road, which can be said to be a very good land, with beautiful water, beautiful trees and beautiful people.

In the blink of an eye, Guo Qingke was three years old. It was the season of pear blossoms again, and Guo Qingke's family went to his aunt's house to help pollinate the pear blossoms, but his mother stayed at home to take care of his younger brother, who had just turned one year old. It was only May, and the weather had already begun to heat up, and at noon the adults were sweating profusely in the fields.

Guo Qingke's aunt's family not only has several acres of pear tree land, but also contracts a piece of water in the old road of the Yellow River to breed some fish and shrimp. And this body of water is just in front of today's pollinated pear tree field, and there are three houses built on the water's edge, which can be regarded as the second home of the eldest aunt's family, and it is a good place to escape the heat in the hot summer. Today's noon is just right to eat and rest in this riverside house, saving you from running back and forth and wasting time.

Children are always more energetic than adults. After lunch, the adults sat on chairs or beds, reluctant to move, only three children frolicking by the water, and Guo Qingke's sister-in-law Guo Huaimei next to them, a little girl who had just entered high school guarded them, interacting with them from time to time, releasing the child's nature, after all, she is also a child, but a little older.

"Let's go, how about taking you to the middle of the river to sprinkle fish food?"

Guo Qingke's eldest uncle, Wen Yuli, held two wooden barrels in his hands and beckoned to the children.

"Yes, yes!"

Guo Qingke's eyes lit up, and his hands danced excitedly, as if he had already planned this.

"No way!"

Guo Huaimei's face changed slightly, and she stopped seriously.

Hearing his sister-in-law's scolding, Guo Qingke pursed his mouth, his eyes seemed to have tears flashing, and he looked very aggrieved.

"You're young and not safe on board. ”

Seeing Guo Qingke's expression, Guo Huaimei seemed to realize that her tone was a little heavy, and hurriedly explained gently.

"Hmm. ”

Guo Qingke nodded, but his mood did not improve, because he vaguely felt that there was something in the water related to him. Although he is only three years old, his mind has long surpassed his peers, to put it bluntly, his thoughts are a little precocious, but he does not lose the innocence and nature of a child. I couldn't help but glance at my eldest uncle Wen Yuli with my teary eyes.

"It's okay, don't worry, Xiaomei. There's a brother-in-law here, no problem. ”

Wen Yuli received Guo Qingke's small eyes, hurriedly dissuaded, and handed Guo Huaimei a look that you can rest assured.

"Alright then!"

Guo Huaimei was helpless, so she had to agree.

The corners of Guo Qingke's mouth on the side rose slightly, his expression was cloudy and clear, but he didn't have too much joy, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, as if all this was in his expectations.

After all, it is the old course of the Yellow River, although it is called the abandoned Yellow River, it is still 61 kilometers long, and the basin is more than 1,700 square kilometers. And this section of water is just in the central area of the old course of the Yellow River, the river channel is very wide, about four or five hundred meters, the embankment on both sides is more than ten meters high, and it is green willow shady, full of greenery, a group of people sit on a wooden boat, slowly row to the middle of the water. The breeze came slowly, and the water surface rippled layer by layer, bringing a slight coolness, which made everyone on the wooden boat feel much refreshed.

The boat stopped and stopped, and Wen Yu carp also sprinkled the bait in the bucket into the water, and suddenly, a school of fish emerged, rushing towards the food, and many silver carp rowed out of the water, shining silver under the sunlight, and met everyone's eyes, like a picture scroll.

"Turtle?"

Guo Qingke had a detached eyesight, and at a glance he saw a turtle about the size of a rice bowl mixed in among the fish, and he didn't eat the bait, but just kept swimming back and forth, as if he wanted to attract everyone's attention.

"It's really a turtle!"

Guo Huaimei also saw it later, this is the first time she has really seen a real turtle. I have seen pictures of turtles in books before, after all, in the river, there are many turtles, and there are few turtles, and if you see turtles in rivers and lakes, it is usually regarded as auspicious.

"Really!"

Guo Qingke's cousin and cousin were also excited, and it seemed that it was the first time they had seen a turtle in the waters of their home.

"Huh?"

Only the eldest uncle Wen Yuli showed a trace of doubt on his face, as if he was a little puzzled by the appearance of the turtle, but he quickly covered it up, and it felt as if he was very familiar with the turtle.

"Uncle, does this turtle often appear in this river?"

Guo Qingke seemed to be aware of it and asked innocently.

"It's also the first time I've seen it. ”

Wen Yuli smiled awkwardly, after all, he was not good at lying, and he was still a child.

"Looking at my uncle's expression, I thought my uncle often encountered this turtle. ”

Guo Qingke looked at Wen Yuli meaningfully, and his deep eyes made Wen Yuli feel like he had been seen through.

If he didn't know that this was his own nephew who was just three and a half years younger, Wen Yuli really thought that he was not another fairy monster change, this should not be the performance of a three-and-a-half-year-old child at all.

"Why, how is it possible, it's the first time I've seen my uncle. ”

Wen Yuli touched his nose with his left hand, and smiled even more awkwardly, and couldn't help but stutter a little between his words.

"Dad touched his nose, he must have lied. It's like this when I usually cheat on my mother. ”

Guo Qingke's cousin and cousin glanced at each other, muttered in a low voice, and spoke in unison, exposing Wen Yuli's lies for the first time.

Although it was a small mutter, but the wooden boat was so big, everyone could hear it, Wen Yuli laughed even more embarrassed, and the wooden barrel with bait in his hand almost slipped off, but he didn't explain too much. Everyone also smiled, just as a joke, and didn't want to know anything too much, only Guo Qingke looked thoughtful, but this behavior of his cousin and cousin is probably the so-called pit dad, and it is a pit dad.

After all, it was an adult, Wen Yuli quickly calmed down his embarrassment, then stopped casting bait to the fish, and continued to row the wooden boat, the fish slowly dispersed, leaving only a few scattered trailing wooden boats, of course, the turtle did not leave.

Wen Yuli glanced at the afterglow, and the turtle seemed to follow Wen Yuli's afterglow, and the eyes of one person and one turtle were staggered, as if there was some communication. Then Wen Yuli also looked thoughtful, and glanced at Guo Qingke a few times without everyone noticing, his eyes were a little excited and a little uncertain.

At this time, Guo Qingke held his chin with his right hand, like an adult, with a dazed face, not knowing what he was thinking about in his head, and at this moment, a mole on his left arm was faintly red, and it was a little hot, and the closer the wooden boat got to the middle of the river, the more serious the phenomenon became, but Guo Qingke was immersed in his own thinking and didn't notice this change at all.
