Chapter 12: First Sight
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was growing his body, watching Lu Le lose weight day by day, and his grandfather Lu Qinghe felt very uncomfortable, so he decided to fulfill his promise and go to give him some game to come back to make up for it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At ten o'clock in the evening, after drinking half a bowl of buckwheat batter, Lao Lu Tou went out with a bamboo basket and a shovel. Lu Le knew what his grandfather was going to do, so he followed from behind, but was reprimanded by the old Lu Tou: "Although the school is closed, you can turn over the books if you have nothing to do, no matter how well you do the field work, you can't afford to go to school and have a good culture!" ”
Lu Le had no choice but to pout and go back.
The river has dried up, and the silt at the bottom of the river is cracking into pieces like a turtle shell, not to mention the fish, it is good to find a piece of fish scales.
Lao Lu Tou's goal was the large and small caves under the river embankment, and for him, it was clear at a glance which were the lobster caves and which were the burrows of water snakes and voles.
Holding a shovel and turning it off the shore, I picked up my sleeve pipe and dug it along the river embankment, but I didn't see a single lobster hair, could it be that I had moved these things after a long drought? Lao Lu Tou was not reconciled, and continued to go downstream to carefully observe and move forward.
When he had walked about a mile, it was already dark, and his old bones were so tired that they were about to fall apart, so he leaned against the river embankment and gasped, and his heart retreated.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a "rumbling", and Lao Lu Tou was taken aback, and he immediately heard the sound of fish whirling in the water. But there is no water in the river, why is there such a sudden movement?
The fighting spirit that had been subdued was rekindled, and for the sake of safety, he held a bright shovel in both hands and searched slowly and cautiously.
Finally, in a very hidden corner of the embankment, I found that there was really a pool of water there. Lao Lu Tou suddenly remembered that this is the sluice gate for releasing water in the flood season of the Dayan River, and when the pond was first repaired, it was dug very deep here, so it could save water in this dry weather.
The waterhole is less than a zhang in circumference, and it is not big, but if you can catch a fish that moves quickly with your bare hands, Lao Lu Tou regretted not bringing a copy net out.
I bent down and put my hand into the pool and probed, oh my! The fish are so dense that they bump into the back of your hand! Old Lu Tou was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly tied up his posture with both hands, intending to scoop him up with half a basket.
As soon as Lao Lu Tou stretched out his hands, the fish in the pool immediately exploded, tumbling without a head, and it was effortless to catch one.
What kind of catch is this? It's like picking up fish. Lao Lu Tou hummed a little song proudly, but unexpectedly, his hand slipped, allowing a big fish to slip.
He estimated in his heart that this big fish should be as thick as an adult's thigh, but it had a piercing coolness on its body, but it had no scales and mucus that all fish should have, and he didn't know what kind of fish it was.
Even so, it's a pity to let it slip away, and it's a good thing to grab it and chop it and give it to the neighbors to open the meat. Thinking of this, he poured all the fish in the bamboo basket into the riverbed, and directly went down the bamboo basket to the pool to scoop it.
Who knew that as soon as the bamboo basket entered the water, it hung up on things, and it couldn't be pulled. He exerted a little more force, but the bamboo basket still did not move, so he did not dare to exert any more force, for fear of tearing it up.
When he took off his rubber shoes and was about to enter the water, a large string of blisters rose from the bottom of the water, like a diving baby ventilating at the bottom. Old Lu Tou was in a panic at the moment, his feet were raised high, but he didn't dare to go down.
When the strings of bubbles burst and disappeared in the water, the whole pool seemed to freeze, and the calm was a little frightening, and the frightened fish did not know where they were hiding in an instant.
The bamboo basket is also a farming tool, and the croppers can't lose their jobs. Old Lu Tou hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and continued to poke his feet down.
When the soles of the feet were about to touch the water, something faintly floated up under the water. Old Lu Tou was already presbyopia, and the light was already very dim, so he lowered his head and squinted his eyes.
It was clearly a mass of loose hair, like a predatory squid, floating up from the bottom of the water with its teeth and claws!
Lao Lu Tou hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding the bamboo basket as if he was electrocuted, and he didn't want any shovels and rubber shoes or fish in his hand, so he turned his head and ran.
I ran home in one breath, and my heart was still "poofing" in my abdomen. Lu Le probably couldn't read the book, and he didn't dare to go out to play, so he had already fallen asleep at this time. Lao Lu Tou sat on the earthen kang until late at night before falling asleep.
After such a fright, Lao Lu Tou soon fell ill, his body was warm and feverish, and he rolled uncomfortably all day long, saying that it hurt here for a while, and that it hurt for a while.
Lu Le lifted his clothes and saw that his body was blue and purple, so he asked him angrily, "Grandpa, who are you talking to?" Why are there so many injuries on the body? You told me I had to kill him! ”
Old Lu Tou only moaned "hey, hey, hey", and didn't answer his grandson's question. Lu Le had no choice but to go to the barefoot doctor in the village.
Doctors had never seen such strange symptoms: although the patient had a fever, there were no other cold-like symptoms; Although the body was bruised and painful, there was no bruise on the subcutaneous soft tissues.
Unable to find the crux of the problem, the doctor did not dare to prescribe medicine indiscriminately, so he instructed Lu Le to go to the mountains to pick some pain-relieving cat's ear grass and come back to fry water for Lao Lu Tou to drink.
There are too many herbs on the mountain to count, but not long ago, the anti-aircraft gun killed Cao Maozi at the foot of the mountain on the mountain beam, and it still makes people feel a little embarrassed to think about it.
After seeing off the doctor, Lu Le carried a firewood knife up the mountain.
When I arrived on the mountain, I saw that the grass was green, there was not a single green leaf, and even the old trees that were a few people thick were about to die......
Pushing aside the wild grass and scrutinizing the bushes, he carefully searched for a long circle, but still found nothing, so he put the firewood knife on his shoulder, and hit him back and forth in disgrace.
When I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw a fashionable and beautiful girl walking on the fork in the road.
The girl looked like she was in her early twenties, with long hair and waist-length, wearing a goose-yellow dress as thin as cicada wings, with a jade flour neck, eyebrows and eyes, and she looked like a city person.
Lu Le couldn't help but glance at it twice, and when he was looking at the third glance, the girl stopped and exclaimed, "What are you going to do?" ”
The voice is crisp and ethereal, and my heart is crisp when I hear it.
Lu Le was full of excitement, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was standing in the middle of the intersection with a firewood knife, clearly looking like he was going to kill people and rob the road.
This fairy-like little girl is rare to see in the village, how can you not tease her?
"No, I'm still underage......" Lu Le replied loudly and solemnly.
The girl blushed at once, glared at him fiercely, and took the hem of her skirt to step on another path to bypass him, the plague god.
