CHAPTER XLIV

"Have you had enough?" Sha Ke asked me as I swung on the swing.

"Almost."

"Then come down and get to work." "Huh? What do you do? I wondered.

Shake pointed to the basket leaning against the tree, "Fishing." ”

Across the peach blossom forest, it is a fairly long river, which is quite clear, and you can occasionally see fish swimming by.

We sat down by the river and each had a fishing rod. Shake helped me get fish food.

At first, I thought it was quite fresh. I kept staring at the fishing rod, but for more than ten minutes, there was no movement at all.

I became impatient, "Can you catch a fish like this, is the bait you bought expired?" ”

Sha Ke showed a wry expression, "Be patient, wait a little longer, and the fish will be hooked." ”

"I can't see that you like fishing." I always feel that fishing is something that the old man likes, and it doesn't match Shake's image.

"I didn't like it either. When I was a child, I came to fish with my grandfather, and like you, I got impatient in a few minutes, sometimes to catch a tadpole, and then to pounce on a dragonfly. Then I got tired of playing and didn't want to move, so I sat there honestly and fished, and I caught a small goldfish. I was very happy at the time, but then I gradually liked it, and when I was unhappy in the future, I would come fishing, and forget about my unhappiness while fishing. ”

"When I'm unhappy, I eat. I'm happy after eating. ”

"Then you have to be careful about eating pigs." Sha Ke smiled, glanced sideways at me again, and said, "But I also want to eat a pig." ”

There was a subtle hint of seriousness in his smiling eyes, and I hid the discomfort in my heart and said, "When the time comes, you will really become a pig, and you don't want it." ”

Next, for fear of startling the fish, we didn't speak. Just quiet fishing.

It's just that the sun is too good, and the surroundings are too quiet. I fell asleep leaning on Sha Ke's shoulder, and was dreaming, when I heard Sha Ke's voice: "Xiaotang, hurry, the fish is hooked!" ”

"Huh?" I only felt the fishing rod in my hand sink, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the fish floating on the water! I was so excited that I had won the lottery and quickly retracted the fishing rod, feeling a burst of joy in my heart.

As a result, the rod received halfway on, and the fish fell!

I was dumbfounded, isn't that funny! I see the dawn of victory, and it goes out again. It's like someone telling you that you won a $5 million lottery ticket, and you went to claim your prize, only to be told that the ticket had expired.

Sha Ke saw my stupidity and chuckled, "When you collect the fishing rod, you don't need to use too much force, but you can do it quickly." The reaction should also be fast, when the fish is just hooked, you start to collect it, and if you don't fall asleep just now, you will probably catch it. ”

"Oh." I nodded a little frustratedly, and when I saw the two fish caught by Shake in the basket, I immediately cheered up again.

About half an hour passed, and my hand suddenly drooped down, knowing that the fish had been hooked. Forcing the ecstasy in my heart, I quickly retracted the fishing rod as Sha Ke said, and finally dragged a small black fish to the shore.

"Haha,! I've caught a fish, too! I smirked at Shake. Although the fish I caught were a little bit smaller than his.

As dusk came, we packed our things and got ready to go back.

In the peach blossom forest, Sha Ke carried me on his back, walking neither fast nor slow. I carried a basket on my back and sang while looking at the flowers.

Shake's back is not very broad, but I feel very stable. A breeze blew, and the pink and white peach petals fell on us one after another.

I brushed the petals off his body and looked at his delicate face, and I had a lot of thoughts.

I can be happy without being with Shen Yuecheng, right?

"Shake, look up!" "Click." With a bang, Sha Ke's back was photographed on his phone, with peach blossoms in the background.

I put my phone in front of him to show it, and he took one look at the stinky beauty and said, "I'm going to cry because I'm handsome." ”

“……”

"Send me the picture later."

"Oh."

"Shake is back!" As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw three boys about the same age as Sha Ke in the yard smiling and greeting me.

"Fishing again! Sit back and wait for the fish tonight! A fatter boy smiled and patted Sha Ke on the shoulder, only to be teased by another taller boy who looked similar, "If you eat it again, you will become a pig." Your daughter-in-law doesn't want you anymore. "I caught a lot of fish today, definitely enough for you to eat." And eating fish is not fat, you can eat it with confidence. Sha Ke laughed. The other boy, who was a little handsome, just laughed along with them.

"Yo, this time I'm not coming back alone!" The fatter boy noticed me bending down to tie my shoelaces just now, and looked at Sha Ke with ambiguous eyes.

"Introduction, Xiaotang, my girlfriend." Sha Ke was generous and said shyly. He said to me again: "This is what I told you about the few buddies who fought to marry me when I was a child, Brother Gang, Shishi, and Liu Yang." ”

"Damn, this was all years ago, how can you still remember." Stone, whose chubby face looked a little embarrassed, looked at me and pretended to be embarrassed: "This brother and sister are still here, how embarrassed." ”

Brother Gao Gang and Liu Yang laughed, "You still know I'm sorry." The sun is coming out of the west. Sha Ke also smiled: "What brother and sister, you call it sister-in-law." I am older than you, and Brother Gang and Liu Yang are called younger brothers and sisters. ”

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

After talking for a while, they entered the door together. Grandpa Shake was picking vegetables, and when he saw us coming back, he smiled and said, "It's back." ”

By the time the meal was ready, it was already dark. It was a bit stuffy in the house, so we moved the table to the courtyard to eat.

Looking at the stars overhead, listen to Sha Ke chatting with a few buddies. My mood was as sunny as the weather, but when I ate the fish made by Shake, I remembered that Shen Yuecheng liked to eat fish very much.

My mouth suddenly became tasteless, and I didn't know what he was doing now! He must have been reading a book in his study alone. Or like the winter break, staring at the computer screen and remembering when I asked him what he was looking at, he said, "Look at what you don't understand." "Makes me half angry.

But maybe not, maybe he's dating Manchin.

"What do you think?" Sha Ke suddenly said to me, "Ah, it's nothing, I just remember that I haven't written my homework yet." ”

Probably afraid of snubbing me, Sha Ke pulled me into their chat. He is very arrogant, but he is very attentive to me. All the time, he doesn't care about my feelings, and how can I be by his side and think about another person?

The next day, Shake took me to the old city in the town to play. I wanted to go with a few buddies, but Shi smiled and said, "I don't want a king-size light bulb!" ”

Behind the high city walls, there are houses of blue bricks and white tiles. Vermilion doors, big red lanterns. All are full of antique atmosphere. The old streets, with their bluestone slabs, are also very charming. Zhuo I and Sha Ke walked through this ancient city, stepping on the mottled stone slabs, and felt as if they had traveled through time and space.

The shops along the street are like ancient shops. There is a plaque hanging above the door. Antique shop, guzheng shop, bookstore, Chinese medicine store, foot massage shop...... There are various shops. There are not many people in each shop, but it is not unpopular, Sha Ke took my hand and went to visit the store that I was interested in.

The backstreets become lively and crowded. There are also stalls on the road. People selling sugar gourds and barbecues can also be seen everywhere.
