Chapter 21: Fighting the Autumn Wind

Zhou Yi looked at the series of zeros in the passbook, and was no longer surprised.

This money comes too quickly and easily, and it is only suitable for making a fortune in a muffled voice.

The turmoil brought by peaches outside, from a certain level of circle, has been much smaller, over the mountains and fields, when you arrive at this secluded mountain town, there are only a few ripples left.

No one combines 50,000 peaches with peaches that can be picked in the cave.

Here, it's still calm; Not calm, only a change in numbers.

In this world, there is no shortage of well-informed people.

Some media people found Zhou Yi's phone from nowhere and called to say that they wanted an interview, but Zhou Yi said "You made a mistake!" "Declined......

Hundreds of kilometers away, a wide turquoise off-road vehicle ran above the vast smoke waves.

A flat blue wave, endless, the water waves are mighty, and the ubiquitous light mist is general, making it impossible to know what power and what kind of strange and magical ancient life is hidden under this wide water surface.

Just above this water, out of nowhere, set up a long bridge, like a white dragon, Teng Lang walking, surging away, on this turbulent lake, will be thousands of acres of blue waves smooth.

Zhou Yi and his cousin-in-law Qian Liang drove the off-road vehicle, drove across this lake, and ran on this giant Jiao - such a vast world, such a wide water surface, made anyone who saw it for the first time dumbfounded.

The birds are like smoke, and the eight hundred miles of Dongting are only half of them left, but they are still dazzling.

The place where the two went was Zhou Yi's aunt's house who lived by Dongting Lake, and it was also Qian Liang's mother-in-law's house, and they carried out the annual autumn wind (pumping feng) activity.

Dongting, since ancient times, is a place of ointment, the fish is fat and the rice is white, the fat is thousands of miles, "there are fish in the water, and the road is the rice town", which is said to be here.

Since you are rich, you will inevitably have to help your "poor relatives"! The big fish in Dongting are fat, the lobsters are moist, and the aquatic products are all over the lake, even if it is grass on the water, it is also a novel dish for the mountain people!

I don't know how long it took, but before the two of them could wake up from the vastness of the lake, the car had already traveled to land.

People who have never been to the mountains cannot imagine the magnificence of the undulating ravines, and they cannot know whether there are really hidden gods in the peaks above the clouds; And those who have never been to the Great Lake cannot understand that the surface of the water in the interior can be so wide - this is not the exclusive domain of the sea! Those who have not been to the plains will not know that the earth is so vast that it can contain all things.

In the past, it was not the turn of Zhou Yi and his brother-in-law, but now, "the adults are busy, and the children have grown up again", and they can also take on heavy responsibilities!

For the first time, I drove a car on the land of this plain, one road after another, without ten steps and a bend in the mountains - straight and straight, almost without the end, if it were not for the occasional prominent trees and changing scenery next to him, Zhou Yi could hardly feel the speed and galloping of the car.

"Slow down, slow down, you're too fast!" Brother-in-law Qian Liang accidentally glanced at the computer meter, looked at the pointer pointing to "120", and hurriedly shouted.

"Is this fast?!" Zhou Yi was a little dissatisfied.

After driving the car for too long, his spirit has become a little numb, especially for the control of speed; He only felt that this straight path was endless.

"It's a hundred and twenty yards!" People who drive are never aware of the passengers' concerns.

Zhou Yi glanced at the dial and was stunned: I feel that I haven't advanced much for half a day, how can there be such a fast speed? -- It's not a highway, it's just a normal two-lane asphalt road......

The aunt had already communicated on the phone and was enthusiastic, but when the two arrived, they found that the door of the aunt's house was open, but no one could be seen outside the house.

"Did you go to the wrong place?" The two thought.

They stopped the car and listened to the movement in the house, only to hear shouts, shouts, throwing cards, and a familiar voice: "Huh! ”

Listening to the familiar voice, he dropped the card and said, "If you don't play, you won't play, our baby Yi Cub and Qian Liang are coming!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of dozen or so children of unknown sizes ran out of the house, saw the two of them, and walked around the two, shouting and greeting.

Anyway, they are relatives, but because they don't come and go often, Zhou Yi only knows very little and deals with them vaguely; However, Qian Liang came over more, and he seemed much more enthusiastic, greeting his name one by one, with fructose in his hand.

The two got out of the car with large bags and entered the house.

It is said that it is a pumping abundance, but in fact, it is more of a material and emotional exchange.

Fish and rice aquatic products in the lake area are rare in the mountainous areas; However, the delicacies of the mountains and the best sweet potatoes and dried bamboo shoots from the mountains are also a good dish when brought to the lake area.

"Oopsβ€”why did you bring so much stuff!" The aunt smiled on her fat face, and looked at the two of them getting out of the car with big bags and small bags, and said in surprise.

Usually the Zhou family also brought some things over, but it was much less than the one that was pulled back. Therefore, some people who saw the Zhou family coming back from Dongting Lake said: "You guys are going out to 'rob' (rob)!" ”

But this year, Zhou Yi was in the mountains, and all kinds of goods were prepared, such as bacon, yellow sweet potatoes, chestnuts, which are also not easy to see in the lake area, so he brought them over.

As soon as the two of them entered the room, in the dim hall, the first thing they saw was a large fish with a small size of half a meter and a meter long, as well as various aquatic meats.

Looking down from the hanging fish and meat, there are all kinds of vegetables and fruits piled up in the corner of the wall, as well as cotton and hemp lotus root and other things that have been picked back, which looks disorganized.

The field of vision closed further, and at some point, a large table was placed in the hall.

The two of them looked up and sighed in their hearts, "Bitter! ”

Eating is not a punishment, but for the two of them, the irresistible enthusiasm of relatives and friends, coupled with the table full of fish and meat, is simply more terrifying than the criminal law.

As soon as Zhou Yi sat down, his aunt put a big chicken leg into his bowl. The chicken leg is really big, and it is chopped off even the whole leg bone, at least half a catty! Almost half of the weight of the small half chicken is here.

On the other side, the eldest aunt enthusiastically sandwiched a piece of meat with chili powder - he knew that Zhou Yi didn't eat fatty meat, and he deliberately sandwiched the best piece of vegetarian meat and put it in the big bowl in front of Zhou Yi very politely.

However, that piece of meat, which is the size of an adult's palm, what's going on?

Fortunately, Zhou Yi now has a "big belly" and eats well, unlike his cousin-in-law next to him, who is obviously uncomfortable, but he still pretends to be happy, and stuffs things into his mouth, which Zhou Yi can't bear to see.

He took a bite of the meatβ€”it was the taste of meat, full of fat, salt, spicy of chili...... Well, there should be a taste, no less, but the simplicity of the approach, so that you can not have more luxury.

The second cousin has lived in Zhou Yi's house for two years, and he knows that he can't get used to eating such a big thing! Big fish! Meat, but he held back the bad, from the basin-like bowl, took out the largest piece, not smaller than the piece of meat just now, and the thickness was far better than the reddish fish meat, put it into Zhou Yi's bowl, and said with a wicked smile: "Little brother, eat more!" ”

Zhou Yimian took it reluctantly, and also returned the second cousin's big lump!

Even the people in the Lake District, the younger generation, are not so accustomed to these big fish and big meat-such a big piece, the second cousin can only admit it with a bitter face-don't want to eat anything else for this meal.

The aunt looked at the appearance of the two brothers, friends and brothers, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Second son, wait until you finish eating, take your brother out to play!" ”

"Zhou Yi, don't you like fishing?" "And the boating ......"

On the shore of Dongting Lake, the smoke and waves are still there; Near the shore, countless ancient trees rose from the water, coiled their roots, grabbed a large piece of soil, and built a small island in the water to live for a long time; Countless water birds flew out of the trees, and white feathers floated down from the sky, leisurely, falling into the still water, drifting with the quiet current, drifting......

"Yo-hehe-he---" A cry that resounded across the lake spread from the side of the water.

Not long after, flocks of big white ducks, who don't know where they came from, converged on the shore from the reeds, under the trees, and by the water and grass, and gathered into the shouting voices, lined up in a long line, and began to go home.

At this time, the sun began to set, shining the shadows of the trees by the lake, and the white birds in the sky to salute.

Zhou Yi looked at the birds flying in rows in the sky, like white cranes, but they seemed to be much smaller than the imagined white cranes......

Although it is autumn, you can also see such birds in autumn in the south of Dongting.

Zhou Yi said casually: "Is that an egret?" ”

The second cousin didn't read much, and he didn't know much about the more written name of the egret, so he only said according to what he often said on weekdays: "It's a heron bird." ”

A few people walked along the riverbank, and after a short distance, the ridge of the human roof disappeared, revealing endless lotus ponds and ponds. The water color is pure, and you can vaguely see the ripple of the black fish's back; The lotus leaves withered, and the water in the lotus pond was released from the edge of the waterway.

A few people walked through a tank that discharged water, and saw that in the crowded waterway, countless small fish were clumped in the puddles, foaming at each other, but no one picked them up; Zhou Yi even saw a palm-sized fish, on the muddy surface, dried by the sun.

"Don't you eat this fish?"

"Little fish cubs, don't bother to get it!" The second cousin replied.

Zhou Yi pursed his lips and said it was a pity. He likes to eat dried little fish cubs.

"Fishing?" The second cousin looked at the fish pond and asked.

"Can you fish in a fish pond?" Zhou Yi was surprised.

"Catch a fish, there's something else to say!" The second cousin looked at the fish pond and grinned.

Listen to his tone, fishing for people's fish is to give people face, if there is anything to say, it is "shameless to give face".

This second cousin has been mixed up since he was a child, and he is good to his family, but he is very bastard with outsiders, talking and doing things.

Zhou Yi guards the thousands of acres of lake in Dongtian, and the matter of fishing is not new; Qian Liang often ran to Zhou Yi, but he was not interested, so he shook his head.

A few people patrolled for a while, saw this fresh scene, dissipated their food, felt that the sky was dark, and began to walk back.

The second cousin's head turned, and he didn't know what crooked idea he had come up with.

He came to a pond, took the boat, went into the middle of the water, lifted the cage that was hanging in the water, and looked around with a thief's eyebrow as he fumbled with something into the cabin.

When the boat drove back to the shore, Zhou Yi and the two stretched out their heads to take a look, and they were looking at a dozen palm-sized mussels, which were secretly thrown to the shore by their second cousin.

The others also went ashore, felt a stone, and smashed it on the shell!

"Click-" The stone-gray matte clam shell shattered, revealing the inner wall of the five-light color and the soft flesh of the wriggling white jade.

He groped among the soft flesh for a while, and found a dozen or so irregular beads that shone brightly and dazzlingly.

"Pearl?!" Zhou Yi saw this thing for the first time, and couldn't help but exclaim.

He touched the pearls with bright colors, and for the first time he saw such a raw treasure, he couldn't help but be fascinated.

Pearls are born so dazzling, unlike jade, which must be polished to become a tool; Unlike wooden beads, you need to be Zen to see the spirit; She is a real jewel born and nurtured by life!

"Let's steal other people's pearls, it's okay......" Qian Liang looked at the dozen or so treasures in his hand, and he didn't know how much it was worth, so he asked dumbfounded and worried.

"If you don't find it, it's fine." The second cousin said with great conviction.

"How much is it worth?" Qian Liang touched the pearl in his hand and said.

"It's not grown yet, it's not round, it's not worth much."

Qian Liang heard that the things in his hand were not valuable, and the dazzling brilliance on the pearl suddenly dimmed in his eyes, and he threw it at will, and gave it all to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi likes these soft elves; It's just different when you pick it out by hand! He doesn't understand the market of pearls, but he doesn't know the authenticity of those pearls sold on the market, but he knows that these in his hands are really "more real than pearls"!

He quietly stole a few pearl mussels and threw them into the stream overflowing from the spatial spirit spring, ready to raise them to see what she could give birth to......

Walking back, it was already dark on the road, and there were no lights in the city.

The galaxy also became dazzling, shaking the lake with mercury!

A strange bird's cry came from the woods on the shore, so alive and so permeating; The two eyes glow coldly on the tree, and the wind is cold.

"Owl." The second cousin explained softly.

He whispered into the bushes from the side of the road, and the bright flashlight shone violently, covering the stupid bird standing on the low tree and not moving, allowing the claws of his second cousin to fall.

The second cousin took out the grass rope out of nowhere, tied the stupid bird, his eyes flashed, his ears moved, and the strong pillar of light shrouded one big or small bird after another, without exception, could not escape the invasion of the devil's claws, and all the birds soon became "grasshoppers on a rope".

At this time, they suddenly woke up, screaming and flapping their wings, but how did they fly away?

But in half an hour, the second cousin led a large stack of birds, walked back, pointed one by one, and taught Zhou Yi to recognize, "This is an owl, this is a black call, this is a red pointed beak, this is a ......."

Zhou Yi looked at the black or white, red or green on the rope, and the originally colorful and colorful birds, "lost their faces" on the hands of his second cousin, and he screamed, and couldn't help but say secretly: Amitabha.

He doesn't know how many so-called "protected animals" there are among these birds, but it has nothing to do with him - relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, and so on......
