At the time of lunch and dinner in the ploughing field, the little ghost (child) who ploughs the cattle in the ploughing field should be invited to eat the ploughing rice, and the three dogs called Ermao to eat together, this kind of rice Ermao is estimated to have eaten too much, or he has been trained by his father too much, and the whole meal room is very decent.

Children can't drink, two mao spoon a bowl of rice on the table on the head to eat, serving rice with chopsticks (chopsticks) to pick up vegetables is also a vegetarian dish in front of the clip, the owner sees such a sensible child, generally will give him meat cloth dishes.

Ermao eats two bowls of rice, only one piece of meat is eaten in each bowl of rice, the others are vegetarian dishes, the owner has more meat, he will put the meat back and not eat, naturally he will get a few praises from the owner, Ermao and his father pretended not to see the same at this time, in fact, he was very satisfied, and his face was bright.

Of course, most of the children in the village go to other people's houses to eat as guests, and before the adults have passed the third round, the children will be full of food, and they will be despised if they dominate the table for too long.

Sangou and Ermao slipped off the table as soon as they were full, and asked Mingcheng from the next door to Mingcheng, as well as Laifu and other children, and ran to the spring pond in the village to take a bath.

The spring pond is very strange, not in the mountains or on the side of the mountain, in the middle of the village fields, there are several springs under the pond that keep bubbling all year round, so the water is as clear as blue.

The water is cool in the summer and hot in the winter, so the women of the village carry their clothes to wash them, so they don't freeze their hands, and they don't come to wash their clothes in the summer, because it has become a bath for men.

In the village, it is called bathing or not bathing, it is called bathing, and children do not care about bathing and bathing, mainly playing in the water.

Generally, one hand lies on the shore, both feet hit the water, slowly let go of the hand, if it sinks, hold on to the shore stone again, continue to practice many times, and naturally a certain time the body will float.

In the summer, Sangou Mingcheng and their friends, specially sneaked out of the house during the adults' lunch break, with the scorching sun on their heads, and went straight to the cold spring pond.

In the summer, the water in the spring pond is too cold, and people sometimes shiver from the cold below, so they quickly climb up to bask in the sun; The three dogs are tanned one by one, mainly when they are swimming in the water, they are stripped naked and sunned.

There was no sun at night, and some people didn't dare to jump down, so they only took towels dipped in water on the shore to wipe their bodies. Sangou and their children's bodies are Yuanyang, and they are full of yang energy, so they swim around in the water like fish, so comfortable.

After learning some swimming skills in the small spring pond, you will show off in the big pond, dive to the opposite bank, and raise your hands above your head to step straight to the opposite bank.

When you are tired, you will spread your hands and feet as far as possible, lie on your back on the water, and wait for your body to slowly sink down, move your hands and feet slightly, and float up again.

During this time, the paddy field was basically plowed all over, and the seedlings were planted, the seedlings were pumped in a blink of an eye when the wind was long, and the sun was hot and hot in the field during the day, and the water cooled down at night, and the loach and yellow eels in the field all ran out to rest and cool.

The people of the village would not let go of this good opportunity, and every household took out a fire cage (a cage made of iron wire, similar to a cow's mouth seal), found a pine tree with pine, and split it into pieces.

As soon as it gets dark, the large and small ones put the pine chips (pine wood with pine oil) in the fire cage and light it, and a few wires on the fire cage are tied to a wooden stick as a handle, and a torch like a fireball is formed.

There is a fish basket tied to his waist, and he holds a fish scissors in his right hand (a long iron scissors, but the knife edge is double-layered, and it is serrate, which is very useful for clamping fish and loaches), and he goes to the paddy field to "shine on the fish", that is, he uses a torch to shine on the loach and yellow eel, and uses the fish scissors to clamp it and put it in the fish basket.

There is still a bit of skill in this fish, and it was difficult for Sangou to catch it at first, so he let the loach run a lot in vain, and then watched his father demonstrate a few times, and he slowly learned.

The fire cage shines on the loach, don't be anxious first, the fish scissors are opened, not too much, and the head of the loach is clamped down, the loach is frightened, and it will move forward, and the fish scissors are just clamped to the middle and front of the loach.

At this time, you should quickly put it on the mouth of the fish basket, otherwise the loach will slip away after a long time, the yellow eel is long, much easier to clip, and it is not as fast as the loach to get into the soil, and it will roll into a ball if you clamp it, and you will not miss it. If you have good skills, you can clip a few catties of loach and yellow eel in one night, which is a good thing to improve your diet.

There are a lot of loaches in the fields, so when it gets dark, there is first a fire lit up in the field, and then there are fishing fires all over the field, which is very lively.

The children couldn't wait, and as soon as they arrived after dinner, they prepared the tools to take care of the fish early, and they had to wait for the adults to act, and the half-grown children set off in groups by lighting the fire cage early.

Some children are too young to go down to the field, so they follow the adults on the ridges, shouting and screaming, annoying the adults to scold them, because too loud will scare the loaches away.

Adults also often tell half-grown children to pay attention to the field, not to step on other people's rice grass, walk in the gap of the rice grass, in case of stepping on the crooked, wait to turn around and straighten it with your hands, and protect it with mud below.

There are two fire cages in the Sangou family, generally the father takes his younger brother and sister Chunhua to go, and the other belongs to the three dogs, and the three dogs like to go alone or with the same big playmates, and they don't want to take their younger brothers and sisters to go, thinking they are noisy.

As soon as it got dark tonight, the younger brothers and sisters couldn't wait, especially when they saw that there was a fire on the field, and urged their father to go to the fish first.

Tonight the sky is good, the moon is bright; The three dogs also happened to arrive home from the hind feet after bathing in the spring pond, and after a few mouthfuls of food by the way, they prepared to go out with the tools of the fish, and wanted to call Wang Mingcheng next door to go together, Zheng Shoucheng also came to Mingcheng's house to play these days, and just went to take the fish together.

When he arrived at the door of Mingcheng's house, he found Mingcheng's sister Mingyue waiting there, and Sangou asked: Did Mingcheng and Shoucheng go to Zhaoyu?

Mingyue: I'm waiting for you, I'm going to find them with you.

Sangou paused for a moment, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.

Mingyue hurriedly walked over and said, let's go, what are you doing.

The three dogs had no choice but to bow their heads and follow behind, and walked towards Tian Ji together.

Walking and walking, Sangou felt that something was wrong, why did the village head pass, and he had to continue walking, and began to think that Mingyue knew where Mingcheng was waiting for Zhaoyu, so he didn't say anything and kept following Mingyue, but now he found that something was wrong, he was almost out of their village's field, and he was going to the boundary of another village, so he quickly followed and asked Mingyue:

Mingcheng, where are they taking pictures tonight, this is almost out of our village.

Mingyue said disapprovingly: You don't have to worry about it, just follow me.

Mingyue and Sangou grew up together, the little Sangou is one year old, sixteen this year, Mingyue is not a lady at all when she was a child, like a boy, and Sangou they play crazy together, to the age of ten years, the longer and more handsome, as if suddenly found that she is a daughter's family, she rarely comes out to play, and accompanies her mother all day long to learn to be a female red (women's handicraft, such as needlework, etc.).

Even if everyone is together occasionally, Mingyue's eldest lady has a bigger and bigger temper, and often indisputably commands Mingcheng and Sangou to do this and that, which is strange to say, no one in the three dogs of the same age is convinced, so they have to listen to Mingyue's words, and they dare not go west.

Although Mingcheng is Mingyue's elder brother, although he is only one year older and a few days younger, he is very dissatisfied with his sister's arrogance, but because he loves her, he is generally obedient.

They have already arrived at the boundary of the next village, and they feel that Mingyue is still non-stop, Sangou really can't hold it back, stops, and asks, Mingyue, what are you doing here? Mingcheng They won't come here to take pictures of the fish, let's go back, your parents will be worried when it's too late.

I'm not going back, I want you to accompany me to fly away and leave this hellish place. Mingyue said very simply.

This is tantamount to a thunderclap for Sangou, startled, and hurriedly said:

You said...... What did you say? Where to go?

Mingyue finally stopped, turned around, and looked at Sangou's eyes with the light of the fire cage in Sangou's hand and said firmly:

Don't you know yet? Or are you pretending to be stupid? My parents are about to marry the one who died Zheng Shoucheng, so I don't want to go with him, I want to go with you, let's go together, go far, and go where they can't find it. If I don't believe it, I can't call the shots myself?

Sangou suddenly seemed to have been hit by something, and he was covered for a while, and after reacting, a variety of feelings pressed him heavily, which made him unbearable, and the shoulders of the seventeen-year-old were really difficult to bear such a weight......
