Chapter 9 Fishing
The morning breeze was a little chilly, but it couldn't stop a group of young teenagers and girls from gathering together to go out and play.
On both sides of the city gate, dozens of carriages were parked, and Li Yan and Tang Shishi were also among them. As soon as they finished talking to Chen Meng, two carriages drove out of the city, and a familiar voice came from the carriage.
"I didn't expect you to be earlier than us, I thought we were still early enough." The carriage listened to Li Yan's car, and a few people walked out, and these people were Yang Liaoxin's brother and sister and Luo Yun'er.
"Shishi, Brother Li Yan, it's early." The three people who came out greeted each other and said, "You guys are really early." ”
"You are also early," Li Yan and the two nodded, pointed to the people who came before them and said, "We are not the earliest, they are the earliest." ”
"We can't compare to them, we're there to play, and some of them aren't." Yang Liaoxin heard Li Yan's words and said with a smile.
Li Yan Luo Yun'er nodded and said, "Yes, wait for us to walk behind, so we won't bother them in front." ”
"Yes."
"Everyone is here, right?" While Li Yan was chatting, in the center of the team, Chen Meng, who maintained order, asked.
When everyone heard the question from the person in charge, they all looked around them to see if there were any companions who had not come, and after making sure they were sure, they said, "All are ready." ”
"Okay, let's set off when we're all ready, and we're going to be on the road for an hour." When Chen Meng saw that everything was ready, he was about to turn around and lead the team to leave in front of him, when a voice sounded.
"Wait, wait." A carriage came from the city slowly, and the person who came was the person who had met Li Yan, and there was also a person with an upset, that is, Gao Zhenyin.
The carriage stopped in the center, Gao Zhenyin got out of the car, saluted everyone and said, "I'm sorry everyone, because of some things, it's late, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"Ah, it's Gao Gongzi, it's okay, it's okay, we're not bad for a while." Some because of his identity, he had to return the salute and say. But he cursed him again and again in his heart, and said: "Believe you ghost, every time you say this thing, why don't you die." ”
Chen Meng glanced at Gao Zhenyin and said, "Since we are here, then we will set off and arrive early." ”
After speaking. Chen Meng led four or five people and rode in front. And the carriages slowly followed. Li Yan and a few people followed behind, and Gao Zhenyin was in the center of the crowd. Behind Li Yan there was also an entourage of five people on horseback. There are ten people who are responsible for the safety of Li Yan's people, and they are all good guards.
"I just counted, and there were thirty-three cars in front of us, plus three of us here, thirty-six. There are quite a few people. There were at least fifty people. Li Yan looked at the carriage driving in front of him, and said with a sigh of emotion that there were many people here.
"This time it's a few, last year there were more than 70 people in a few miles outside the city, this time it was mainly farther away, and some of them did it themselves, and some people didn't come." Tang Shishi heard Li Yan say that there were many people, and said that the number of people last year was high.
"Oh, that's right." Li Yan is not salty or light.
"Brother Li Yan, have you heard, it seems that I made my own food at noon today, and it seems to be a barbecue." When Li Yan and Tang Shishi were chatting, Yang Liaoxin poked her head out of the carriage she was in and said.
"Oh? Who do you listen to? When Li Yan heard Yang Liaoxin's words, he asked curiously.
"My father said it, he asked from a person in charge of security this time, the person in charge just now." Luo Yun'er said.
"Well, isn't it just a barbecue, what's so difficult about this, this one is very simple." Li Yan said indifferently.
"Brother Li Yan will do this?" When Yang Liaoxin heard Li Yan's words, she knew the meaning of Li Yan's words and asked.
"Well, it's a little bit, I'll teach you then, it's very simple." Li Yan nodded and said.
"Okay, when the time comes, we'll be in a group, so we won't have to worry about not being able to do well." When everyone saw Li Yan nodding, they immediately became happy, and after chatting with Li Yan and Li Yan about barbecue-related topics, everyone was silent all the way, until they arrived at the location of this event.
This is on the edge of a lotus pond, there is a village not far from the lotus pond, and a few kilometers away from here is the Xuanzhong Temple, because you can see the Xuanzhong Temple from here.
Arriving at the location this time, Chen Meng dismounted and said: "You are here today, and the rest of the time, you can chant poems and paint here, fly kites or anything, don't leave too far, and you can't disturb the nearby people, if you really can't go, we have to go with my consent and those of us who protect safety." Okay, do whatever you have to do, I'll go and prepare the food you need for noon today. ”
After Chen Meng finished speaking, he left, and he was busy not far away.
When everyone saw that they could finally have a good time, they took their things from the carriage in pairs and left not far away.
Some of them are desks, some are of the four treasures of the study, some are pianos and chess, and there are all kinds of them.
"Li Yan, let's go fly a kite." Tang Shishi saw that they all started to play, and said to Li Yan.
"Well, I'm not going, I have something to do, you guys can play." Li Yan looked at Tang Shishi apologetically and said.
"What's more important than us playing together, and what can you do here." Tang Shishi saw that Li Yan was not with them, and asked incomprehensibly.
"You'll find out later, isn't it a barbecue at noon, I'll go get something else." Li Yan walked towards Chen Meng's location without explanation.
"Hmph." Tang Shishi snorted slightly unpleasantly when she saw Li Yan leaving.
"Okay, since he has something to do, let him go, let's just play together," Luo Yun'er said comfortingly.
"That's right." was said like this, Tang Shishi didn't care.
Li Yan left them, came to Chen Meng's place, and said, "Brother Chen, this is a barbecue grill." ”
When Chen Meng heard this, he stopped what he was doing, saw that it was Li Yan, and said, "Yes, wait for you to use it, why don't you go with them?" After answering Li Yan's question, he asked as if he had found something.
"Well, I'm here to borrow a knife?" Li Yan said with an explanation.
"Borrowed a knife? Do? Chen Meng didn't know what Li Yan was doing with the knife, so he asked.
"Chop a piece of bamboo."
"Chopping bamboo? Oh, give. Knowing what Li Yan was going to do, Chen Meng handed a knife to Li Yan from the side.
Li Yan took the knife and walked towards the way he came, there was a nest of bamboos not far from here, and it looked good, Li Yan picked a bamboo suitable for use here this time, and shaved the branches.
I chose a good spot in the lotus pond, took out the line and hook prepared this morning, tied it slowly, and after doing this, I found a little bait, and actually fished in the lotus pond.
The bait went into the water, lay on the grass, let the breeze blow slightly, the sun hung obliquely in the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on the body, which was quite appropriate.
Li Yan was fishing here, and some people not far away also noticed that Li Yan was here, but they were just looking at it.
After Li Yan lay down for a while, the fishing rod moved, and Li Yan knew that it was a fish that had been hooked. As soon as the fishing rod was raised, a good fish was pulled ashore, and Li Yan slowly took it off and put it in the basket that had been prepared earlier.
Li Yan's movement here has caused some young people and girls who are chanting poems and painting not far away, they initially thought that Li Yan was just inserting a rod there, but no one thought that it would be a fishing rod, but when they saw where Li Yan was fishing, they actually caught it, and they all started to talk about it.
"Is this person the one who was with Tang Shishi this morning?"
"Yes, I saw that they were in the same carriage, and it was not Tang Shishi's ......" The man didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was understood.
"This is because you are not well-informed, Li Yan is Tang Shishi's younger brother, but that relationship is like a brother, which is really enviable." This is a man, and when you listen to the meaning, you know that it is a love for Tang Shishi.
"Oh, well, but why don't we know that?" When the others heard this, they nodded, not paying attention to what he said later, but asking the crucial question.
"Who knows." The man shook his head, probably not wanting to say, so he said vaguely.
"'Look, Li Yan caught another one, and in less than a cup of tea, he caught three fish, and these three fish are afraid to weigh four or five catties." The person who had been paying attention to Li Yan spoke up.
