The newborn sun is slowly rising, and the small village, which was still very quiet, is now noisy!

"Brother, get up", the little girl shook Meng Xu, who was still sleeping.

"What are you doing, girl", Meng Xu squinted, drowsy, and said a little confused.

"Brother, you said that you would go fishing together this morning, and you promised Xiao Yan yesterday", the little girl shook Meng Xu's arm dissatisfiedly and pouted.

"It's too early, good, let my brother sleep for a while", after speaking, Meng Xu inserted his arm into the warm quilt again, turned over, and turned his back and the back of his head to the little girl.

Seeing that Meng Xu was playing tricks, the little girl smiled and showed a sly smile.

"Hmph, stinky brother, look how I punish you", as she spoke, the little girl put her rough little hand into the cold well water, and couldn't help but shiver.

"Ah, dead girl, what are you doing?", Meng Xu only felt a cold little hand reach into his warm quilt, and then clinged to his bare back, suddenly shivered, instantly no sleep, and jumped up.

"Hmph, who told you not to get up, you promised to go fishing this morning, but you are still sleeping", the little girl hummed.

"Didn't I get up", Meng Xu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"Hmph", the little girl turned around and left, leaving Meng Xu with a good-looking back of her head.

......

"Morning, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xu, go catch fish"

"Well, second uncle, you're early."

"Little girl, come over for dinner tonight, I bought a big fan of pork back"

"Third uncle, is there any joy in being so happy?"

"Hehe, my youngest son was admitted to the county college"

"Ah, congratulations to the third uncle"

"Second aunt, I picked vegetables so early to sell"

"Oh, the little girl is getting more and more handsome."

The little girl lowered her little head shyly and gently kicked the small stone.

......

After a while, the sun was already high in the sky, and at this time, Meng Xu and the little girl came to a small river.

Tsk, it can't be said to be a small river, it should be more appropriate to call it a small ditch. There is no way, the family is a little poor now, and they can't afford to buy fishing nets, so naturally they can't go to the big river to net fish, so they can only find this kind of small ditch.

A section of the small ditch was chosen, and then the two ends were blocked with soil, while Meng Xu and the little girl stood at one end respectively, holding a wooden bucket and began to scoop up water.

With you and I bucket of water, the water level of the small ditch is obviously decreasing.

Two quarters of an hour later, Meng Xu couldn't help but smile as he looked at a large group of large and small fish jumping around in the small puddle.

"Wow, brother, there are so many fish, this is the first time I've seen so many fish"

"Then don't you put the fish in the bucket quickly"

Seeing the little girl jumping ashore to pick up the wooden barrel, and jumping down in a hurry, Meng Xu couldn't help but feel a little helpless, rubbed her head, and said, "Be careful."

"Brother, look at this fish is so big", the little girl handed a fish about ten inches long to Meng Xu as if to invite merit.

Who knew that the fish struggled a little hard, and when the little girl escaped from the palm of her hand without paying attention, the little girl habitually went forward to catch the fish.

Before the little girl could show a smile, her feet slipped, and her body suddenly lost her balance and fell forward!

"Ah", the little girl screamed, full of panic, closed her big eyes in fear, and the imaginary dog gnawing mud did not happen, but fell into a warm embrace.

"Look at you, so careless", Meng Xu pinched the little girl's delicate nose and said with some blame.

"Hehe", the little girl leaned on Meng Xu's arms and laughed heartlessly.

"Ah, brother, what's wrong with you, why does your face look so weird", the little girl noticed that something was wrong with Meng Xu at this time, and couldn't help but raise her little head and asked suspiciously.

Looking at the little girl's cute appearance, Meng Xu was holding back very hard, and even his face turned red!

"Brother, what's wrong with you", the little girl stomped her foot and said dissatisfied.

"Hahaha", I couldn't hold it back, and some unscrupulous person laughed.

Just as the little girl blinked her eyes in confusion, she accidentally aimed at Meng Xu's hands covered with black mud, and the little girl instantly understood...... It seems that this hand pinched her little nose just now.....

"Dead brother, bad brother", the little girl hammered Meng Xu's chest with her little fist, and ran to the bank of the opposite river with a red face to wash her little face.

midday

Meng Xu looked at the fish that were roasted to tender yellow by the fire, smelled the fragrance of the fish wafting in, couldn't help but spit out his saliva, and asked a little anxiously, "Girl, are you okay?"

"Brother, don't worry, you still need to add something", in Meng Xu's puzzled gaze, the little girl took out some unknown spices, and then sprinkled them on the grilled fish, and the fish fragrance became even stronger.

Meng Xu took the grilled fish handed over by the little girl, regardless of the hotness of the grilled fish, and ate it in a big gulp, this is worthy of being a wild fish, worthy of being a fish from another world, it is so fresh, so tender, so sweet, and a mouthful full of protein in one bite.

Looking at Meng Xu's gobbling appearance, the little girl showed a sweet smile, carefully tore off a small piece of fish meat, and chewed sweetly.

"Hiccup", Meng Xu lay under the shade of the tree, hiccups contentedly, touched his somewhat round belly, a breeze blew, Meng Xu couldn't help but squint his eyes, and looked surprised.

"Brother, there are still a lot of fish nicknames here, we can't finish eating, let's take them to the market and sell them later", leaning on the little girl beside her, asked.

"Well, well, it's all up to you", another gust of wind blew, and Meng Xu said lazily.

......

Meng Xu and the little girl came to the market in the county, and they found a good stall and set up a stall.

"Fresh and delicious fish, ten copper coins each, come and see", a beautiful voice sounded in the noisy market.

Soon, perhaps because of the beautiful voice of the girl, the booth was soon crowded.

"This fish is very big, girl, is it really ten copper coins each?", asked a woman dressed in a somewhat modest manner.

"Yes, auntie, one for ten copper coins," the little girl laughed.

"Okay, bring me the two biggest", after speaking, the woman handed the little girl twenty copper coins, and while the little girl happily counted the copper coins, Meng Xu also caught two big fat fish that were jumping around and handed them to the plainly dressed woman.

The currency here is mainly copper, silver, and gold coins, with 100 copper coins equivalent to one silver coin and 100 silver coins equivalent to one gold coin.

As you sell one by one, the smile on the little girl's face gradually increases, and in the evening, there are only two big fat fish left, these two big fat fish, the little girl refuses to sell them, according to her meaning, take them back and eat them.

Just as Meng Xu and the little girl were about to clean up and leave, they saw a few frivolous young people coming in front of them, and seeing these young people so frivolous, Meng Xu couldn't help frowning.

"Big brother, the fish has been sold out, there is no more", the little girl looked at the little gangsters who looked like young people in society, and said a little nervously.

The young man at the head did not answer immediately, but looked at the little girl fixedly, and her saliva was about to be left, tsk, this little girl looks so standard, it seems that my second brother Hu is going to send it.

Looking at Hu Laoer's greedy eyes, the little girl couldn't help but shrink behind Meng Xu's back in fear, and her little hand tightly grabbed the corner of Meng Xu's clothes.

A gloom flashed in Meng Xu's eyes, and he said, "It's nothing, please get out of the way, don't get in the way."

Hu Lao Er waved his hand gently, and the young men who came with him immediately surrounded Meng Xu and the little girl, and the people on the side saw this, although they frowned, but in the end they were still afraid of Hu Lao Er and did not dare to go up.

Seeing this, a trace of pride flashed on Hu Laoer's face, he walked in front of Meng Xu unhurriedly, patted Meng Xu's shoulder, and said, "You are selling things here, have you obtained the consent of my Hu Laoer, have you paid protection money?"

Meng Xu gently patted the little girl's little head and said, "It doesn't seem to be your business that I sell things here, and you don't seem to be a person in the yamen."

Hearing this, Hu Lao Er laughed out loud: "What if it's not someone from the government, the whole street here is covered by my Hu Lao Er, get acquainted, otherwise..... "Boom", said that, he looked at the little girl greedily.

The little girl was even more frightened when she saw this, and leaned on Meng Xu tightly.

On the principle that more things are better than less, and he is not very familiar with this place, although Meng Xu was unhappy, he still decided to compromise and said, "How much is the protection fee?"

Seeing Meng Xu's compromise, Hu Lao Er raised his head even more proudly, and said slowly: "No more, no less, just a gold coin."
