The diesel engine was loud, but luckily it was a new one. Although it is also activated by hand, it is much better than the old model that is pulled with a rope. That old diesel engine, if you are unlucky, you can't start it for a day.

The surface of the lake is sparkling, blue and green, and even the wind is beautiful. The sky is connected with water, some dark clouds cover the sun, and the clouds and mist gradually occupy the mountain, surrounded by lush mountains, like a fairyland on earth.

There are many small islands in the northernmost part of Tianze Lake, and their destination is a place called Changyouting, Su Xiaolou took off his shoes and put his feet in the water, feeling this rare coolness.

"Here we go." Dangdang said. Several people untied the bags and took out the nets that had been put in order.

When laying the net, the net may be knotted, so turn off the diesel engine and draw it by hand. He took one of the oars in Fu Quan's hand and tried it. But I couldn't find a way to draw it, so I couldn't use it at all. Fuquan patiently taught him, but after a few strokes, his hands couldn't stand it.

"Sixth brother, go and rest, this is not an easy job." He said.

Su Xiaolou had no choice but to give up and stop making trouble.

A few buddies stripped naked, took out the inner tubes of several large trucks, filled them with a gas bag, and then crossed two planks tied to them. Skillfully sat up, took the net and went to the cloth.

When the boat circled back to pick them up, a piece of white foam from a fishing net floated and sank, and from the clear water, a fish bigger than a palm got stuck in the net. was desperately breaking free, Su Xiaolou saw such a situation for the first time, and was very excited: "Look, fish." The fish is stuck. Fu Quan drove over, and I took it off. ”

Muzi helped him pull the net over and hang it on the bow of the boat. As the net was dragged out of the water, the fish struggled even harder.

When it was dragged out of the water, it was bigger than from the water, and it was a big carp, and it had to weigh at least seven or eight catties. Su Xiaolou couldn't catch it at all, it was too slippery and struggled so hard that he couldn't subdue it when he was sweating profusely. When the tire like a lifebuoy came over, he couldn't stand it, so he said, "If you put your fingers in its gills, it won't be able to break free." Take the net out in the direction of the scales. ”

It was meant to be this way. A few friends looked at him with a grin. Muzi found a net bag, and he finally got it down, which felt good.

Drive the boat to a small island with a small stone platform that has been built. They were divided into two teams and took turns to inspect the fishing nets, and if a fish got stuck, they took it down in time to avoid damaging the nets.

There is a meadow on top of the stone platform, surrounded by huge camphor trees. Muzi made a fire in the middle, took out an iron frame made of steel from the boat, put a black aluminum pot on it, and poured rice. It turned out to be cooking, which was interesting.

After the clouds dissipated, the hot sun came out, and Su Xiaolou also took off his clothes and swam twice in the water. It's just that the contrast between his white skin and the bronzed skin of his friends is too great.

Swam a few laps and sit on a stone slab by the lake. Muzi, who had been on patrol for a while, came back and sat next to him.

"Sixth brother, how are you doing in the city?" He asked the question again.

Su Xiaolou thought for a moment and said, "Whether it's good or not is relative, it depends on what you say." ”

"Oh." He lay down, "I want to go to the city to work." ”

"Don't read anymore?" He is not surprised, it is already very good for the mountain people to successfully finish junior high school.

He smiled, "My sister studies better than me. He smiled.

No one can be blamed for the fact that a family can only provide for one person to go to school. It's just that the topic is a bit heavy.

"I want Mu Yu to continue reading, but my father doesn't agree."

Su Xiaolou heard that he had made up his mind. But he can't even support himself, and he is not qualified to persuade anything.

"Go and sign up to be a soldier, or your father won't agree." Su Xiaolou was silent for a moment and spoke.

Muzi's eyes lit up, this is a good idea. But then I was discouraged, being a soldier is not something you can go if you want to go, there are many Chinese, there is no shortage of soldiers. The number of soldiers who have passed the physical examination is still greater than the number of soldiers needed, so there will be a situation of disobedience.

Of course, Su Xiaolou could see his worries, "I have an uncle who works in the county's People's Armed Forces Department, I can tell him about it." ”

"Thank you. I also want to plead with you for one more thing. ”

"What?" He knew that Muzi was a person with strong self-esteem, and he begged someone unless it was a last resort.

Also, why shouldn't you go to the third uncle's house to borrow the Internet on the road in front of his house, isn't it a big circle? Of course, he didn't think much of it.

Muzi didn't speak for a long time, with a hesitant face. Sometimes the mind is perfect, but often in reality, there are indeed many factors that are difficult to speak.

"Mu Yu studied very well." He said again.

"Yes." Mu Yu is like the second Su Ming Dynasty in Tianze Township, from elementary school and junior high school, he won the first place in the exam, and his score was ten points higher than the second place. High hopes from the school. He still heard his grandparents talk about it last night.

"Juye's high school sucks, and it's not suitable for Muyu. I want her to go to the front mountain. He finished in one breath.

Of course, Su Xiaolou understood what he meant, and before he could speak, Mu Zi preemptively said: "If you are embarrassed, don't force it." ”

"Is Mu Yu also in the third year of junior high school?"

He nodded.

"You get your household register ready and go to the school to issue a certificate. After the high school entrance examination, Qianshan came to me, and I will solve it. ”

At this time, Dangdang shouted to this side: "What did you two say, come here, the fish is baked, come and taste my secret baking sauce." ”

"Secret fart, it wasn't your father who brought it back from your aunt in the county." Fuquan didn't hesitate to poke him. Dangdang's aunt's family opened a barbecue restaurant in the county seat.

"Here we are." He answered.

Seeing that Mu Zi was about to say something with a grateful face, Su Xiaolou patted him on the shoulder, "We are good friends, aren't we." ”

Muzi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything. Smiled and followed.

In fact, Su Xiaolou has been completely disconnected from them, and he has no similar ideas and fun like childhood. There is no way to understand their thinking, he is more like a bystander, but it is already very happy to have such a wild fishing, picnic.

"Sixth brother, you can taste it." A little friend he didn't know, he was a little timid.

It was a bamboo tube rice, and he realized that there were many bamboos on the island.

He smiled and took it, "Thank you!" ”

Eat and drink like this until the last rays of the sun disappear on the other side of the mountain. At this time, Tianze Lake is the most beautiful time, which makes you feel that it is slightly redundant to describe it in words.

declined the invitation of a few people, for fear that my grandparents would be worried. said goodbye and went home, still carrying four big carp strung together with a rope by wood, more than ten catties, tired and panicked.

Since the Municipal Safety Supervision Bureau and the Education Bureau will conduct structural safety inspections and assessments of all teaching buildings in Qianshan No. 1 Middle School on Monday, there will be a day off. But he chose to go back early the next morning.

Walking to the parking place with Su Wanyun, the grandparents were still standing at the end of the slope.

Grandpa carried his hands on his back, and grandma was now next to grandpa, reluctantly watching him disappear from sight. Yes, they are all old, and although they want to stand up straight, the ruthlessness of the years has become rickety.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Su Xiaolou was sullen all the way, and curled up on the seat in silence.

He changed his position and stretched his lower back.

"No, it's just a little reluctant to leave my grandparents."

She stroked his head, "I miss them, I can come to see them often, and they are not very far away." ”

He nodded.

"It's almost time to get to the county seat, let's find a place to rest."

"Hmm."

But when I arrived at the county seat, there was an endless flow of people on the streets, and all I saw was dirty and messy. There is no longer a stay **. Su Wanyun walked around for a while and stopped at the entrance of what seemed to be the largest supermarket.

"I'm going to buy something and I'll be back soon." She said.

Su Xiaolou looked at her back and suddenly remembered that she was going to go to college in the provincial capital that year, and he was sad for a long time.

And so she said: Come back soon.

It's just that it's been five years, and it's like disappearing, with no letters, no phone calls. Even if it's the New Year, there is no news of her, it's like disappearing. He also wanted to go to the provincial capital to find her, but he was still young at that time, and in the end he couldn't overcome his fear.

So much so that for a while, he forgot about Su Wanyun and forgot that there was such a person, this was a choice of excessive thoughts. is also because of the past five years, he and Su Wanyun are no longer the intimate relationship that they used to talk about, and they have always been like being separated from each other and unable to get close. This may be the reason why he began to distance himself from her, consciously or unconsciously.

He's looking, and he's doing it.

After Su Wanyun's suicide in later generations, Xiao Hui was hit by bandits when she was surrounded and suppressed bank robbers, and died of serious injuries. And one day two years later, when he was presiding over the subnuclear critical point test, he had a serious accident and was blown to pieces.

A family that was originally perfect finally became mutilated and desolate, no, it should be desolate without existence, and they all died. It's like a curse, especially for those who survive to the end, and it's an endless torture. Death is the ultimate liberation and destination.

Sometimes he thinks: is he a reality or a dream.
