Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fish and Shit

Before dinner, Yu Shu slipped to the East Compound alone, avoided people all the way, observed the terrain around the pond that she was staring at, and admired a group of live carp swimming happily in the pond, and returned to the compound with satisfaction.

ate wonton on the street, Yu Shu only drank half a bowl of porridge for dinner, watching the yellowish Yu Xiaoxiu snoring and drinking soup and nibbling on the dough, and eating a small plate of pickles, it was not a taste in his heart, I really wanted that the bowl of wonton in the evening was into Yu Xiaoxiu's stomach.

She doesn't have the money to let Yu Xiaoxiu eat well now, and she doesn't want him to be ready to grow day by day when he grows up, so she can only make up her mind.

Yu Xiaoxiu didn't know what Yu Shu was thinking, after eating, as soon as he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he went out to wash his face and go to bed, ancient times are not better than modern times, there are fewer entertainment activities, and at night, the poor only have to turn off the lights and sleep.

Yu Shu washed his face after Yu Xiaoxiu, carefully brushed his teeth with wicker branches, returned to the bed, scattered his hair, and combed through the broken tooth comb over and over again. This long hair, she always feels troublesome, but it is really washed and dried, and it is very comfortable to touch, long draped over her shoulders, hanging down her chest, flicked it, her hair is like a waterfall, very elegant, and she feels pretty good, which satisfies Yu Shu's feelings of being forgotten in that girlish place.

"Okay, I'm blowing the lamp." Yu Xiaoxiu closed the door, dropped the bolt from the inside, turned his head to see Yu Shu in that stinky beauty, pursed the corners of his mouth, and went over to turn off the lights.

"Hmm." Yu Shu was not afraid of the dark, so he threw away the comb with a squeak, pulled the quilt and lay down, and took off the curtain.

"Whew", the light went out, Yu Shu closed his eyes, heard Yu Xiaoxiu lying down, turned over again, quiet, and said:

"Xiao Xiu, let's go out to play in a few days, okay?"

"Out of the land to play?"

"That's right, I'm either bored at home or going to a private school all day, I want to go for a walk elsewhere, you can come with me, okay?"

There was silence for a while, and then he said, "I'm going to a private school in the morning, and you have to work again in the afternoon." ”

"It doesn't matter, I'll talk to the shopkeeper, it's okay to have a day off, can you go?"

"Hmm."

"Hehe, then I'll find a free day to come out, let's go out and have fun, let's sleep."

"Oh."

Yu Xiaoxiu turned over, lay on his side, separated most of the room, looked at the blurred figure on the bed opposite, closed his eyes, opened them again, closed them again, and opened them again, confirming that there was indeed a person lying there, not only him in this small room, and after a while, he closed his eyes again.

My sister has really improved, it's so good that it's so good, it doesn't matter if it's sad, at least someone is willing to accompany him.

***

Yu Shu almost got up late, heard the rooster crow behind the room, turned over, almost fell asleep again, pinched his thighs hard, sat up from the bed with his teeth bared, and looked at the window, it was dark outside, just after the fifth watch.

She got dressed lightly, tied her hair into a ponytail, stuffed the pillow into the quilt, touched something under the bed, tiptoed to the door, and looked at Yu Xiaoxiu's side quietly, before gently moving the stool blocked at the door and opening the door.

There was no light yet, it was very cold outside, and thanks to her foresight, she wore an extra dress.

In the stove room in the corner of the courtyard, the door was not closed, after Yu Shu entered, he turned over the stove for a long time before he found flour and wheat bran, wrapped a little bit of paper, and carried a bucket and a flat pole, went around to the back of the house, and picked up a few chicken feathers in the place where a few chickens often walked.

At this time, even the people who made breakfast in the big kitchen were asleep, the courtyard was quiet outside the courtyard, Yu Shu walked alone on the road to the east compound, the black light was blind, and she was not afraid, but her neck was cold from the light wind, she shrank her head and trotted for a while, and her body became hot.

Avoiding the main road and not meeting the housekeepers who patrolled the courtyard, when Yu Shu touched the edge of the small pond in the garden, there was a faint white light in the sky, turned over the corridor, stepped on the lawn and walked to the edge of the pond and squatted down, put down the bucket, took out something and pinched the bait.

The fish in the pond had just woken up and swam slowly, and the water surface was quite clear, and some images of the bottom of the pond could be seen.

The fish in spring love fishy, especially carp crucian carp, a little sticky with fine shrimp skin, and then roll on a layer of wheat bran, which is ready-made bait, Yu Shu used to have a friend who studied finance and liked fishing very much, and occasionally pulled a few people to the wild pond in the countryside to fish, Yu Shu followed them to be bitten by insects, and learned some things.

After pinching the bait, I took out the rope hook that I had prepared yesterday, wrapped the rope at one end of the flat shoulder, tied it firmly through the hole, and tied half a chicken feather to the red rope that was used as a fishing line.

This time is the best time to fish, the domestic fish are to be fed, when the dawn is the time when they are the most hungry, the domestic fish are much more stupid than the wild fish, give a fragrant bait will go up, this time to fish here, it is simply the right time and place.

Looking at the chicken feathers floating on the water, Yu Shu had already begun to plan how to eat the first fish well, braised it? Steamed? Grill?

A gust of wind blew, and she held her breath to hold back a sneeze, and half of the chicken feathers on the water moved.

***

The sky was hazy, Yu Shu hid the bucket containing two carp in the weeds outside the courtyard, and the fish in the pond didn't know how to raise them carefully, with a red back and a silver waist, very beautiful, big and fat, and stupid, these two were squeezed in a wooden barrel, I don't know if the good days are over, and you chase me around in circles to flirt and scold.

Thinking that this stupid fish was raised in Mrs. Ji's yard, it really satisfied Yu Shu's revenge:

"If you beat me twenty rattans, I'll eat you twenty fish, one at a time, just right."

Hiding the fish, Yu Shu hid at the gate of the yard, waited for no one to pass, then jumped in, threw the flat pole and bucket by the well, entered the house, took off the dirty clothes and stuffed them under the bed, slipped out of the bed, and just lay down, I heard Yu Xiaoxiu talking in a daze over there:

"Are you awake?"

Yu Shu didn't squeak, and after a while, he heard Yu Xiaoxiu get up. Before breakfast, Yu Shu slept again, and when Yu Xiaoxiu called her up, it was already dawn outside.

"Eat first, then change the medicine, if you go to Jingshutang to do heavy work, do it slowly, and stay until I get out of school to go over for you." Leaving the words, Yu Xiaoxiu left with his schoolbag, the two sisters and brothers, four years old, seem to be the eldest one.

After Yu Shu finished eating, he didn't rush out of the house, but took out the two seized in Vientiane Street the day before yesterday, one "Qimen" and the other "Easy Calculation", prepared pen and ink, and while flipping through it, he copied down some words he didn't know crookedly, and prepared to take them over in the afternoon to ask Cao Zixin.

When the sun came out, she cleaned up the table, put the book of "Qimen" in her hand, closed the door and went to the west compound.

There are only three people in Jingshutang today, and the old Taoist priest who slept on the bamboo bed in the corner of the wall is gone, and the bed is still there, and the person doesn't know where he went.

Wiped more than a thousand compasses yesterday, and let the floor be wiped today, Yu Shu felt that the people here were just looking for something to do for her, and they didn't mean to embarrass her, otherwise Yu Xiaoxiu helped her work yesterday, and they wouldn't have said a word.

The injury on her arm still hurts today, if it weren't for the medicine that Yu Xiaoxiu went to Uncle Saturday to ask for, she soaked in water yesterday and didn't swell.

The hall was too spacious, the floor was paved with solid wood, only in smoothness than the high-end flooring she had seen before, and she changed six buckets of water back and forth to wipe the floor clean, and sat on the spotless floor panting, resting for a long time before relieving herself.

It was still early, so she moved her place, sat down cross-legged on the edge of the huge gossip plate in the middle of the hall, took out the book in her arms, and continued to read. She didn't know what most of the words in the book meant, and the whole sentence was even more obscure, but she understood that she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so she could only take her time.

"What books are you reading?"

The light above his head was blocked, Yu Shu looked up, and saw that it was the old way, and he was not surprised, so he directly set up the book and showed him the word "Qimen" on the cover.

I didn't want the old Taoist priest to pass by his hand, so he pulled the book out of her hand, turned a few pages with slanted eyebrows, closed it and threw it into Yu Shu's arms, turned around and sneered, and walked towards his bamboo bed:

"Just look at this, you can't learn a piece of bullshit in ten years."

Yu Shu picked up the book and said right behind him: "I can't understand this, and I can't learn a shit in a hundred years." ”

Lao Dao stopped, laughed or snorted, stepped back again, squatted down directly across from her, and carefully observed her young and immature face in the sun, his eyes fluttering.

Yu Shu didn't like to be stared at like this, especially since the other party was still a bad old man, so he lowered his head and continued to flip through the book, ignoring him.

"Tsk, there is no wisdom root, the spirituality is too poor, the root bone is not good, it is far worse than the Star Swirl girl, except for karma, there is no comparison, alas, alas, I am unlucky, I knew that one is not as good as one, it is not as good as one"

Yu Shu listened to him muttering, and compared her with others in his words, he couldn't help but feel unhappy, don't look at her usually likes to talk and laugh, but she is actually an arrogant person, only she looks down on others, which round of a stranger comes to judge her in front of her and looks down on her.

Lao Dao was still muttering, but Yu Shu took the book, glanced at him, stood up and walked out.

"Huh? The little girl stood still, what to go, the old saying has not been finished. ”

Yu Shu walked to the door, then turned his head, looked at the sloppy old Taoist priest, and sneered:

"Go back and learn bullshit."

After finishing speaking, he turned his face and left, leaving the old way, squatting next to the gossip plate, his face was stunned, and after a while, he laughed out loud, and shook his head and went back to bed in the sight of several inquiring eyes in the hall.

Yu Shu walked down the road, rolling up the book in her hand, and struggled to recall the name "Star Swirl girl" in the mouth of the bad old man, where she seemed to have heard it.

Hey, where is it?.
