Chapter 8 A Night of Mountain Drunkenness
In today's society, no matter how remote the place is, there are probably people where there is water.
On this day, Dongtian welcomed two guests. One of them was over half a hundred years old, still in good spirits, but his hair was a little mottled, and he was a thin little old man; The other is in the prime of life, Kong Wu is powerful, and between his actions, he is quite lawful, with a bit of military atmosphere.
The two of them walked through the black hole and towards the lake with parasols, tents, a bag for fish, and a few fishing rods.
"Huh—when did someone come back to farm?" The old man with mottled hair looked at the piece of land that had been sorted out in the midst of a barren grass, and then looked at the house in the distance that seemed to be smoking, and couldn't help but wonder.
The middle-aged man looked at it, seemed to remember something, and said: "I heard some time ago that Zhou Yi came back and went to the cave to farm, I thought it was fake!" ”
"Zhou Yi? That Zhou Yi of Zhou Dahai's family? The one that went to college? The old man was a little incredulous.
"Which other Zhou Yi?!"
"It's a fake—it's not like my head was smashed! His parents are also by him? The old man was incomprehensible about Zhou Yi running back to farm. In the eyes of the older generation, shaving food in the land and relying on God to give face is already the most inferior way of living in today's society. If you are not willing to fall, ordinary people can find a way to live in peace.
"Let's take a look, maybe we can get something to eat." The prime of life didn't care much, and with his fishing gear, he walked to the house full of fireworks.
Before they got closer, Zhou Yi heard the voices of people coming out of the house, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately shouted: "Brother Fei, uncle, why are you here?" ”
That prime of life, Zhou Yi is familiar with it. The parents in the prime of life, together with himself, are colleagues of Zhou Yi's parents and work in the township hospital. As for the thin little old man, Zhou Yi also recognized it, but he couldn't name it for a while, and he was collectively referred to as "uncle".
"Look at the smoke coming from here, come over and see if you can get some food." Luo Feihong said.
"I'm getting ready to cook! I'll move a stool first, and you can sit outside for a while, because there's a lot of smoke inside. ”
"Don't be so troublesome, you cook first, let's go find a spot first, make a nest, and put things away." Nesting is the practice of fishing, which involves throwing some soaked rice into a specific area to attract fish in order to increase the chances of the fish catching the bait.
When the two came back again, Zhou Yi's meal was almost the same.
"Oh - this is an eel, did you catch it yourself?" As soon as Luo Feifu entered the house, the dog sniffed and immediately shouted.
Another thin old man walked in front and looked into the bowl, "Eel and cucumber, tomatoes, eggs, and fried shrimp with chili peppers, this life is good." The old man couldn't stand it anymore when he looked at the three dishes that were full of color and flavor, and felt the aroma of the food that entered through his nostrils and ran rampant through his body.
"Hurry up and get the dishes and chopsticks, I'm starving to death!" They are all villagers, although they may not be named, but the old faces of decades have no scruples.
When the old man spoke, Luo Fei had already brought three bowls.
He first served a bowl to Zhou Yi, then a bowl to himself, and with chopsticks, he sandwiched the yellow eel meat.
"You're not going to feed me?" The old man was full of thought that Luo Fei would fill himself with food.
"I don't have any hands!" Luo Fei's chopsticks were picked up quickly, and he muttered.
"Young people nowadays, why don't they respect the old and love the young at all?" The old man shook his head with a smile and complained. At the end of the day, you have to be self-reliant.
The three of them didn't say a word, but went straight to their mouths and ate the vegetables. Everyone is hungry.
After the meal, Luo Fei washed the dishes and invited, "Brother Yi, do you want to go fishing with us?" ”
The habit of people here is that for the same generation, as long as there is no very close blood relationship between men, they all call each other brothers, it is good to say, it is mutual respect, it is "a flower sedan chair people carry people", it is not good, it is "mutual stinky feet", and it is quite fragrant!
"Do you have any extra rods?"
"There are ready-made hooks and fishing lines, so you can find bamboo and make one yourself."
Zhou Yi took the firewood knife, found a long straight bamboo with finger thickness and suitable length behind the house, cut off the branches, tied the fishing line, put on the hook, float, and a simple fishing rod was ready.
Fishing in the summer is not easy, you have to fish in the morning and evening, and you have to take measures to prevent mosquitoes.
No, Brother Luo Fei was bitten by poisonous mosquitoes in a few big bags.
"Why are the mosquitoes so poisonous here! Last year wasn't so great! He felt that the mosquito prevention measures he had made were completely ineffective.
The old man next to him was also bitten, and he responded again and again.
"Brother Yi lives here, don't you feel it?" Luo Fei saw that Zhou Yi didn't speak, so he couldn't help but say.
"Now that I'm used to it, I don't feel it. Maybe the mosquitoes are tired of sucking my blood, and when they see two pieces of fresh meat, they all run away to you. Zhou Yi knew that he was the culprit, but he would never admit it.
"Why don't you smoke some wormwood?" The old man is still very experienced.
The cigarette of wormwood slowly faded away, haloming into one smoke ring after another, covering people inside, and no mosquitoes dared to invade it.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Two hours passed, and the sun had completely sunset, leaving only a white circle of light rippling behind the mountain, giving the last light of this heaven and earth.
None of the three caught anything.
Luo Fei and the old man are both veterans of fishing, but in a few hours, they only caught three finger-long thin fish in total, and Zhou Yi, the "rotten fish basket", not to mention, has not opened yet!
Zhou Yi was a little impatient, his head turned, and he said in his heart: There are also some earthworms in the space, and I don't know how to use them as bait.
"I'm going to dig up some earthworms and try it." Zhou Yi had been using two old fishermen's special bait.
"It's too hot in summer, and fish, like people, don't like to eat meat, and they don't look for earthworms." Luo Fei said.
"Let him try. Maybe which fish eats too much vegetarian and wants to improve their diet? The old man laughed.
Zhou Yi returned to the house, washed his face, walked into the bedroom, locked the door, and entered the space.
The earthworms that are introduced into the space reproduce very quickly, but they seem to be controlled by some kind of "regulation" that comes with the space, and they will not flood because they lack natural predators.
That said, it is easy to find a few earthworms by digging gently into the loose ground.
In a short time, Zhou Yi dug up several small black and red earthworms.
He tore the earthworm in two, hung one on the hook, and threw it into the water again.
Not to mention, it didn't take long for the buoy to sink straight underground-Zhou Yi felt the strength and began to rally with the things underwater.
"Shall I?" Luo Fei felt like a big fish, and couldn't help but see that he was eager to hunt, afraid that Zhou Yi was inexperienced, so he hurriedly said.
"I'll do it myself." Zhou Yi rarely caught a fish, where to let others come.
Zhou Yi swayed for a long time, and finally stunned the fish, and easily lifted the fishing line up.
"Good guys!" A black-backed lake carp thirty or forty centimeters in blue and yellowing jumped out, struggling in the air and flicking its tail, but it still couldn't escape Zhou Yi's claws.
With this big fish on the hook, Zhou Yi seemed to have made a fortune, and all kinds of big and small fish hit him on the hook, even on the surface of the water, you can see the black shadows swimming around under the water.
The two of them saw that Zhou Yi used that simple fishing rod and used various lame postures to catch big fish one after another, and they were very unhappy in their hearts.
"You kid is lucky!" Luo Fei didn't have a good airway.
Although fishing is not a competition, but watching others harvest again and again, but they have nothing, but the other party is still a new hand, and there is no fishing skills at all, when you are annoyed, let alone mention.
"Something, it's really fatal." The old man said with a deep face.
"I don't believe it." Luo Fei didn't believe it, he didn't believe that only Zhou Yi could catch a big fish.
While saying this, Luo Fei glanced at the small bottle containing the red earthworm that Zhou Yi put behind him, turned his left hand, and took it with his hand......
"Eh, eh, eh, it looks like there's a fish." Luo Fei felt a sinking in his hand, his face suddenly happy, and said softly, for fear of disturbing something.
At this time, the old man, who had a calm face, could not sit still, and ran over and looked around, trying to see what fish had been caught—if he could not catch it himself, and if it was better to see if anyone else's.
A hand crawling with age spots swept the ground with great speed, stealing a bottle containing an earthworm into the bag, still with a curious look on his face - I came to see the fish, I didn't do anything......
Luo Fei held the fishing rod, for some reason, he always felt that this time was a little different from the usual time when he caught fish, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He pulled the pole, felt the force, and kept pulling and retracting, and in a short time, he pulled up the things under the water.
It was a thick black thing about two meters long, and looking at the way its tail flicked and entangled, it turned out to be a water snake.
Luo Fei, who was originally proud, turned into a dry smile at this time, "Haha, it's okay for the water snake, go back and eat snake meat......"
On the top of the trees on the moon, a few bright stars were still twinkling in the deep night, Zhou Yi couldn't hold on, and returned to the house with a few catches, leaving an old man and a strong man still holding on to the lake......
The wind blew gently, blowing a lake of clear water, and the moonlight sprinkled down, faintly reflecting the two reclining figures in the mountains and fields. In the hands of the black and gray figure, there was a long rod slanting out, and a silver wire hung down, escaping into the peaceful lake.
Zhou Yi, who was already tired, suddenly realized that what they were fishing was not those fish, but a lake of clear water, a bright moon, and a night of mountain wind drunk......
――――
The fish said weakly: I don't eat bait, I want a ticket......
