Chapter 40 The fish died and the net was broken

Sun Lang saw Dong Xi trotting all the way to the river, and hurriedly asked, "Dumb, what are you looking for me in a hurry?" ”

Dong Xi gasped: "The army is all eating, isn't the son hungry?" ”

Sun Lang thought that he came in a hurry, there must be an urgent report, and after a long time, it turned out that he was calling himself home for dinner, so he said abruptly: "My sister is in prison, our army is helpless, and my son will be beheaded soon, where do you still have the heart to eat?" ”

Dong Xi only felt that eating was the most important thing in the world, and after hearing Sun Lang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Even if the sky falls, this meal always has to be eaten!" Otherwise, where would he have the strength to fight with Taishi Xiao'er? ”

After he said this, he stretched out his big furry hand, dragged Sun Lang up, and dragged him away. Sun Lang was helpless www.biquge.info felt slightly hungry, so he could only follow him to the place where the military camp was located.

Halfway down the road, there are a few thatched huts scattered around the fishing village along the road, and a high wooden frame is jumped with bamboo poles outside the house, and many pickled dried fish are dried on the shelves. Outside the thatched house is a fence made of bamboo, on which are densely packed with fishing nets.

It was apparently a fisherman's residence.

As Sun Lang walked, he saw that next to the fence, there was an old man with a gray beard, stretching out a pair of rugged old hands, picking up a bunch of withered yellow thatch from the basket on the ground next to him, putting his fingers together, and constantly kneading it into a thin hemp string.

Sun Lang looked at the novelty, slowly stopped, and stood in the distance to watch quietly.

The old man finished rubbing the hemp rope, and neatly put the rest of the hemp ropes together, put them together into a dense diamond-shaped grid, and then tied them into a slipknot where the hemp ropes intersected. This work seems to be very tedious, but the old man's hands are very nimble, and he keeps shuttling between the ropes, which seems to be easy and skillful.

Sun Lang was puzzled, stopped and walked forward, and asked respectfully: "I have seen this old man, may I ask what you are going to do after rubbing so many hemp ropes and putting them together one by one?" ”

When the old man heard someone ask, he stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at him for a moment, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and said, "The doll must not be from this place, right?" ”

"Ahh The younger generation is a member of the Sun family's army, temporarily stationed here in Yuhu Town. I don't know where the old man can see that the younger generation is not from this place? Sun Lang hugged his fists and sang a group bow to him.

The old man said straightforwardly: "Oh? It turns out that the doll is Sun Jiajun's person? Sun Jiajun has not committed any offense against the people of Yuhu Town, and we are very grateful! Our fishermen in Yuhu Town all make a living from fishing, so the craft of weaving fishing nets is something that every family can do, even the five or six-year-old hairy children are no exception. Since the doll didn't know that the old man was weaving fishing nets, the old man naturally guessed that you were not from this place! ”

"Fishing nets? Weaving fishing nets with hemp rope? Sun Lang was stunned.

In his 21st century memory, it was as if fishing nets were made of green nylon rope. At this time, it was the first time I saw a fishing net made of hemp rope made of bundles of thatch, and I felt a little novel.

"Fishing nets, of course! Although this hemp rope fishing net is easy to rot after absorbing water, as long as it is dried frequently, it can also be very strong and flexible. The so-called three days of fishing and two days of drying nets is not unreasonable......" said the old man, pointing to a pile of fishing nets drying on the fence next to him.

Sun Lang walked to the side of the fence and looked at the fishing nets, all of which were made of thin hemp rope, slightly yellowish, as if the color of withered grass, and they were very soft to the touch when touched with his hands. I lifted a fishing net again, and pulled it vigorously twice, and the net bounced twice, but it did not break, and it was obviously very flexible.

"Uncle! Listening to what you just said, this fishing net is very strong? Sun Lang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, with a hint of excitement in his words.

The old man said a little proudly: "That's nature. You see that although the reeds are soft, as long as they are twisted together, they can become very strong. The old man has been weaving fishing nets in Yuhu Town all his life, and the villagers in the nearby townships are fishing with the fishing nets we weave, and they have never heard of a net breaking and escaping fish! Hey...... A few years ago, I heard that the leper Lao Liu in the village once used a fishing net woven by an old man to catch a big catfish weighing more than forty or fifty catties! ”

Sun Lang was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Uncle, can you help Wansheng also weave a fishing net?" ”

"What? Doll, you want to fish too? ”

Sun Lang said, "Ah...... Oh, yes...... Late itchy hands, I also want to go down to the river to fish and relieve the cravings in my stomach! In his later life, he wanted to catch a big fish, so he could only use the fishing net woven by the old man. ”

"Then why not? This is what the old man is best at! The old man replied with a smile. Someone appreciates his craftsmanship, and he naturally agrees diligently.

Sun Lang looked sideways and said, "It's just ...... I need the strongest fishing net, and the hemp rope of this net must be very fine, can the old man do it? ”

The old man groaned: "It is a bit of a dilemma to have a thin hemp rope and a strong fishing net, but ...... Hey...... However, the old man is conceited and has excellent craftsmanship, and it is not difficult to weave such a fishing net......"

Sun Lang turned his head to Dong and said, "Dumb, pay some copper money to the old man, my son wants to buy the old man a fishing net!" ”

Dong Xi agreed, and was busy taking out copper coins in his arms, and the old man stood up suddenly, waved his hand angrily and said: "Doll, if you pay, don't ask the old man to make a fishing net for you!" ”

"Why is that?" Sun Lang was stunned.

The old man said unhappily: "The Sun family army has eliminated violence and pacified the people, and has done a lot of good things for our people!" We, the fishermen, saw it in our eyes and remembered it in our hearts. Therefore, this fishing net of the old man will be given to you for nothing! This copper coin, the old man said that he would not accept anything. If the doll has to give the old man copper money, he will look down on us! ”

"Uh......" Sun Lang was a little unexpected.

The so-called winner of the hearts of the people wins the world, Sun Jiajun under the rule of Sun Ce's strict military discipline and won the hearts of the people, even so that the people of Jiangdong eat pot pulp, sandwich the road to welcome each other, so supported by the masses, why worry about Jiangdong's injustice?

He smiled slightly, could only bow deeply to the old man, and said, "Since the old man is so kind, it is better to obey his fate than to be respectful, and lean over to accept it!" ”

When the old man heard this, his expression changed to a smile on his face, and he said, "Haha, good doll, go back to the army, the old man will start weaving fishing nets for you today, and send you to the barracks early tomorrow morning, what do you think?" ”

"No, no, no! How dare you send it to Uncle Fei personally? Tomorrow morning, the late students will send soldiers to get the fishing nets. Sun Lang was grateful, and thanked the old man again.

After a few more pleasantries, Sun Lang left. The old man got up and sent him out the door, his face wrinkled and full of smiles. Sun Jiajun's soldiers appreciated his craftsmanship, and they didn't want his fishing nets, and this kind of thing spread out, which can be described as a big product placement advertisement in Lake Town. He was naturally very hard-working, and returned to the courtyard to collect pampas reeds, rub hemp ropes, weave fine nets, and happily got busy.
