Chapter 68: Fishing

Wrapped in the bag were two swords and a bow and a quiver of feathered arrows. The two swords were one long and the other short, the long one was about three feet six inches, and the short one was about two feet three inches. Pulling out one of them, the sword was sharp, and the cold light was pressing, like a pool of autumn water.

"The long one is the Yuanhong Sword, which is my matching sword, and the short one is called the Broken Water Sword, which was specially made for Xiaoqing, his size is not long, and it is not suitable to use a long sword, so I got him a short sword to use first, and when he grows up, he will change to a new sword." Wenren Chiba said with a smile.

"For me?" Yao Qing ran over in surprise and stretched out his hand to take the water sword. Yao Huang let go of his hand, and the Water Breaking Sword reached Yao Qing's hand. Yao Qing couldn't put it down, stroked the scabbard, and then pulled out the broken water sword and kept comparing it, so happy that his little face smiled like a flower.

Yao Huang put down the Yuanhong sword and took out the bow and arrow again. The great bow weighs heavily on the hand, and it is the texture of iron and wood. The quiver is made of leather, which contains dozens of arrows, the body of these arrows is straight, the tail of the arrow is sandwiched with a feather, the tip of the arrow is like a thorn, the arrow blade is sharp, and the cold light in the sunset is dotted, exuding a little murderous atmosphere.

"This arrow and bow were made with the help of Chun Yu Jinfeng, right?" Yao Huang asked guessingly. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not strictly control weapons, ordinary blacksmith shops did not have such a high level of craftsmanship to make such sharp swords. Yao Huang guessed that when Wenren Qianye entered the city today, he must have gone to see Chun Yu Jinfeng's people.

"Yes, I wrote to him some time ago to help make a batch of weapons and bows and arrows." Smell people Chiba Road.

"What about Brother Chunyu, why didn't you see it?" Yao Qing asked, he had a good relationship with Chun Yu Jinfeng.

"You Chunyu Big Brother is very busy and doesn't have time to come over."

"What about the weapons?"

"Put it in the village chief's house. The city where the village chief entered with us today. Yao Hong answered, except for their family of three and the village chief today. There were also some strong young men in the village who carried the weapons. The village chief also consulted with Wenren Chiba. Let the young men in the village follow him to learn a few martial arts, although the roots of these young people have been set and they can't learn advanced martial arts, but they can at least protect themselves by learning some superficial martial arts. It is also unknown when the conscription order will arrive in the village, and the village chief hopes that the young people who have enlisted in the army will return safely. Wenren Chiba thought about it and agreed.

"Hurry up and eat, wait until the food is cold." Yao Hong summoned, and Yao Huang and Yao Qing had to put down their bows and arrows and swords and sit down at the dinner table.

After this day. Wenren Chiba made some adjustments to the time of the school, taking one hour a day to teach the young people, and the rest of the time letting them practice their own. The young people studied very hard, and they usually trained very hard, and after they were busy with the farm work at home, they no longer chatted and beat P in twos and threes as before, and a group of people gathered in the open space outside the ancestral hall to practice hard. They kept in mind the words of Wenren Chiba: "One more drop of sweat in peacetime, one less drop of blood in wartime", and everyone knew the horror of war. Who doesn't want to come back alive! So, in order to survive, the young people worked hard to learn martial arts, although they learned it late. What they learned was only some desperate outer kung fu, but they learned hard, plus they worked hard for a long time. The body is stronger than the people in the city, and he practices moves to be vigorous. It is not a problem for one person to fight two or three people, and the hope of surviving on the battlefield has increased by five or six percent. The hard work of the young people led to the teenagers Li Song and Zhang Yan. and children like Yao Qing and Erhuzi, who have practiced martial arts harder. Every day, before midnight, people gather in the open space to exercise. The village chief asked people to erect more than a dozen arrow targets on the side of the open space, and took out the batch of bows and arrows given by Chun Yu Jinfeng to let the young people practice archery. Their arm strength has been greatly improved, ordinary soldiers can only draw a bow with one stone, while the young people of Qingshui Village have been trained to draw a bow with two stones (one stone is equivalent to one hundred and twenty catties).

The young men and boys were training in full swing, and the girls like Yao Huang had to get busy, they took on most of the farm work in the family, and Yao Huang rarely played with Yao Qing and the boys. On this day, Yao Huang rarely wanted to relax after finishing things, so he said hello to his eldest brother-in-law, and took Yao Qing and Xiao Ke to the river to fish.

The fishing rod is homemade, carefully selected from the mountain to cut the fine bamboo rod, the flexibility is very good, the fishing line is made of casing, and the float is replaced by knotweed. The stem of the arthrus is hollow, and it is the best material for floating to float on the water. It is one of the most important weeds in the arthritis wheat field, and farmers generally pull them out and discard them, but they don't know that they are also a herb, which can clear heat, diuretic, clear the eyes, remove phlegm and relieve cough, and is used for symptoms such as eye redness and pain, corneal clouding, hepatitis, cough, bronchitis, etc.

Qingshui River is located outside Qingshui Village, the river is about four or five meters wide, the water surface reflects the green grass and green trees and the white clouds in the sky, the sun shines a little brilliant golden rays, the breeze blows softly, sparkling, indescribable harmony and beauty.

Yao Huang and the others found a shady shore, Yao Qing moved three smooth stones to pad under his buttocks, and Yao Huang hung earthworms on the three fishing hooks, helped Xiao Ke throw the line of his fishing rod into the water, sat down himself, and threw the fish hook out of the water. Staring at the float on the water, for a short moment, the float did not move at all. Yao Huang didn't use his divine sense to check the situation below the surface, so the fun of fishing would be missing.

"Sister, it's so boring to just wait like this, tell a story and listen to it!" Yao Qing was impatient, and it was really embarrassing for him to let him sit naked like this. Of course, the same is true for Xiaoke buns.

"What do you want to hear?" Yao Huang stared at the surface of the water, watching the float being pushed by the current, and his heart jumped, but then the float did not move again, which disappointed Yao Huang.

"Didn't you say that there was a sequel after you finished talking about "Dragon Babu" last time? Then tell us about its sequel! Yao Qingdao, since he watched "Dragon Babu", he prefers martial arts novels to fairy and ghost novels, and feels that the world in the novel is closer to the world world in which he lives.

"Okay." Yao Huang nodded, "Then I'll talk about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". It happened more than 100 years after the end of the story of "Tianlong Babu", there is a small village called Niujia Village by the Qiantang River, and there are two adjacent families in the village, one surnamed Guo and the other surnamed Yang...... On this day, the two families were having dinner together, and an injured Taoist priest broke into their home...... Yang Tiexin gritted his teeth and said: "The eldest brother is dead, I will save my sister-in-law no matter what, and save the blood and bones of the Guo family." If God is merciful, you and I will meet in the future. 'Bao Xiqiao cried and fell into the dust, her husband left, but never came back......"

"Auntie, a fish has bitten the hook." Xiao Ke listened to Yao Huang's story, his big smart eyes kept paying attention to the situation on the river, and when he saw that there was movement in the float, he hurriedly reminded him.

Yao Huang's attention did not leave the surface of the river, and when he saw the float sinking up and down a few times, he stopped moving, and knew that it was an experienced fish testing to see if there was any danger. She stopped talking, and motioned for the two little ones to remain silent. The three of them waited with their breath in their breath, and after two or three minutes, the float moved again, at first the movement was still very subtle, and gradually it became bigger, and suddenly, the whole float sank.

"This is the moment that has been waiting." Yao Huang smiled and shook the pole hard.

Wow, a one-foot-long grass carp flew out of the water with a splash.

"Oh, catch it, catch it,......" Xiao Ke clapped his hands happily, and Yao Qing jumped to Yao Huang's side excitedly, took the fish off the hook, held it above his head, and said happily, "Second sister, this fish should have two catties, right?" ”

When the sun shines on the fish, the scales reflect a little silvery light.

Yao Huang took the fish and looked at it, and threw it into the wooden barrel on the side, "There are two catties, it's good to make sweet and sour fish." ”

"Second sister, I want to eat sauerkraut fish." Yao Qing asked.

"If you want to eat, you can catch your own!" Yao Huang said, took the bait again, and threw the hook into the water.

Yao Qing said, "Really, if I catch it, you must do it for me!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Yao Qing was high-spirited, and he didn't listen to the story anymore, so he threw all his heart into the river. It's a pity that the fish in the river seem to be against him, just don't bite his hook, Yao Huang caught a half-foot-long carp, and even Xiao Ke also caught a crucian carp about half a catty, Yao Qing's hook still didn't move at all.

"Damn, these fish don't even give me face." Yao Qing said angrily.

Yao Huang sneered, "May I ask Third Young Master Yao, what is your relationship with the fish in the river, why do they want to give you face?" ”

Yao Qing looked at Yao Huang pitifully, "Second sister, these fish bully me, and you laugh at me." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you, it's done."

Yao Qing glanced at her sister sadly and muttered, "These fish are so hateful, why don't you bite my hook?" ”

"Who told you to be impatient, and to lift up the fish without waiting for the hook to be secure, and you deserve not to catch the fish." stabbed his younger brother, but he still cared about his younger brother, and while paying attention to the movement of the fish hook on his side, he devoted some of his attention to Yao Qing's float.

After a while, Yao Qing's float moved.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer, and then lift it up when the fish bites the hook, lest it run away." Yao Huang said to Yao Qing.

Yao Qing listened to her sister's words, waited patiently, and when she felt the hook sink suddenly, Yao Qing immediately lifted the rod. However, instead of catching the fish, the line was pulled straight and the rod was bent deeply.

"It's a big fish." Yao Qing shouted happily. (To be continued......)
