After a few steps to the river, the water of the small river is so clear that it looks like it can be drunk directly. I simply rolled up my sleeves, washed my hands in the river, and then couldn't wait to pick up a handful of water and drink it.

The river water is very cold, and in the scorching sun, it feels even more refreshing and cold, penetrating people's hearts. Zhang Ran drank a large handful of water in one go, and sighed comfortably.

Then, Zhang Ran took some more water to drink, and it wasn't until he was full of water that Zhang Ran felt a little satisfied, and began to have time to wash his face, and by the way, clean up the sweat stains on his body...

At the same time, Zhang Ran's sister Zhang Sui'er also came to the river, took some water from the clay pot upstream of Zhang Ran's face, drank a little bit, and then filled the clay pot and put it aside, reached out and held some water, and cleaned the dirt on the little face...

After the brother and sister finished washing, they found a big willow tree directly by the river, and then leaned against the big willow tree in the shade and rested.

While enjoying the cool breeze blowing by the river and listening to the bubbling sound of the river, Zhang Ran soon fell asleep in a daze...

I don't know how long it took, when Zhang Ran woke up slowly and opened his eyes, he suddenly heard a slight snoring sound in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was his sister Zhang Sui'er.

At this moment, Zhang Sui'er's little head was leaning on Zhang Ran's shoulder, and she seemed to be sleeping very sweetly.

"I'm probably too tired!"

This morning, Zhang Sui'er, who is only ten years old, is no less than Zhang Ran in the field. Zhang Ran was tired and fainted, but it is conceivable that Zhang Suier will definitely not be easy.

Looking at the little girl sleeping soundly on his shoulder, Zhang Ran couldn't bear to wake her up, so he didn't dare to move, so he could only close his eyes again and pretend to sleep.

But I don't know what the reason is, when Zhang Ran wanted to close his eyes and sleep, he couldn't sleep, and even felt better in spirit...

"What should I do?"

I couldn't sleep anymore, I didn't dare to move, Zhang Ran had no choice but to open my eyes and look at the willow branches that were swaying slightly under the breeze not far above my head...

"Gollum~"

A cry of "hunger" from the abdomen suddenly broke the silence. Zhang Ran touched his hungry stomach, and there was a hint of helplessness in his heart.

From getting up in the morning until now, Zhang Ran has only eaten a little bean soup in total, plus he has worked all morning, and his physical strength has been consumed very quickly, and it is not easy to survive until now.

"These boiled beans just don't go hungry! If only I could have a few pieces of meat to eat..."

In other words, it has been almost half a month since I came to this era, and Zhang Ran has not seen any meat at all. Every day, it's either boiled beans or millet porridge, and the best time to eat is only the occasional meal of brown rice mixed with sorghum! This is definitely an extremely painful torture for Zhang Ran, who has no meat and joy almost every day in later generations.

"If there is no meat to eat, when will this body be raised? Grandma's, anyway, I have to get some meat to eat today! ”

Zhang Ran was ruthless in his heart, and involuntarily set his eyes on the small river not far away. I thought in my heart, this river looks not small, eighty percent of the river is full of fish, if you can get a few, at least you can have a full meal, and by the way, you can satisfy your cravings.

However, what made Zhang Ran feel distressed was that his family was too poor, his family was surrounded by walls, and he had no fishing nets, let alone could not afford fishing nets, and the only way to catch fish was to go down to the river. And his body is still very weak now, if he goes into the water to catch fish now, he may even have to take his life into it...

"No matter, let's go see if there are any fish in the river first!"

Zhang Ran knew that it would never be possible to catch a fish while sitting here and dreaming, so although he hadn't thought of a good way to catch a fish for a while, he still decided to go to the river to see the situation first.

So, Zhang Ran carefully removed his sister Zhang Sui'er's little head little by little, gently leaned it against the big tree behind him, and then slowly stood up and walked lightly towards the river.

Maybe Zhang Ran's movements were too big, and after hearing the movement, her sister Sui'er opened her eyes in a daze and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came. When she inadvertently swept her brother's back, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother, brother, where are you going?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhang Ran looked back at his sister who was still a little confused when he first woke up from a big dream, and replied with a smile: "I want to go to the river to see if there are any fish and shrimp or something, if there is, I will find a way to catch some and cook them at night to eat!" ”

"Eat fish?" The little girl swallowed hard when she heard this, and her big black and shiny eyes were shining, as if her saliva was about to flow out. Obviously, for a ten-year-old girl who hadn't tasted meat for months, the attraction to eating meat was too great.

"Hehe..."Seeing his sister's little gluttonous reaction, Zhang Ran felt very funny, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, wait here obediently, don't run around!" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Sui'er couldn't help scratching her little head and muttered, "It's not right~, my mother just let me watch my brother and didn't let him run around... If my mother knows that my brother is going down to the river to catch fish..."

Thinking of this, Xiao Sui'er was suddenly startled, and hurriedly struggled to get up, and at the same time exclaimed: "Brother, don't go!" Your body is just right, the river is too dangerous! ”

While speaking, Xiao Sui'er jumped up suddenly, took a short step, and bounced towards the direction where Zhang Ran was...

……

Not long after, the brother and sister came to the river one after the other. Standing on the bank of the river, Zhang Ran stared at the sparkling river with wide eyes, motionless, carefully observing the river surface and the movement in the river, not letting go of any suspicious place, and even a ripple inadvertently on the surface of the nearby river, he had to carefully observe it, hoping to find out the traces of the fish.

One minute..., two minutes..., five minutes...

Soon nearly ten minutes passed, Zhang Ran rubbed his somewhat dry eyes, sighed dejectedly, and muttered: "It seems that inexperience is really not good, it's almost ten minutes, I haven't found a single fish....."

"Sui'er, are there no fish in this river?" Zhang Ran, who didn't give up, couldn't help but ask his sister beside him.

"Haha..."Seeing his brother's dejected appearance, as if he had defeated a rooster, Xiao Sui'er not only did not come forward to comfort him at all, but laughed a few times unkindly, then covered his stomach, pointed to the river in front of him and laughed: "There are naturally fish in the Qingshui River, brother, have you forgotten?" A few days ago, Sankui next door also touched a big fish from the river, and at that time our family also got a bowl of fish soup, which was fragrant..."

"Suck~" Xiao Sui'er said while involuntarily wiping the saliva flowing from the corner of her mouth, and her whole little face seemed to be full of yearning...

"Sankui?" With Xiao Sui'er's description, a young man with a simple personality and a strong figure instantly appeared in Zhang Ran's mind, well, this young man called Sankui is one year older than Zhang Ran, but his height is so much taller than Zhang Ran's head, and this guy is very strong, and his arms are even thicker than Zhang Ran's thighs.

Because of the relationship between neighbors, the relationship between Sankui's family and Zhang Ran's family is quite good, and Sankui himself and Zhang Ran are also good friends who grew up together. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Sui'er said this, Zhang Ran immediately remembered it.
