The water is clear, and the fish swim in the water with their tails wagging.

From time to time, a mischievous little fish will show their heads and spit out strings of bubbles on the surface of the water.

In front of the weeping willows, four guards in heavy armor lined up, looking around vigilantly.

Shang Cai was making trouble, and he accompanied Yuan Xu to protect him, and they didn't dare to relax at all.

By the river, two teenagers sat side by side, looking at the river without blinking.

Yuan Xu, who was wearing heavy armor, was fishing with a simple fishing rod made of tree branches.

Xiao Zhu beside him looked at the thin thread on the branch with an expectant expression.

The fishing line is just ordinary twine, and the bait is an earthworm dug by Yuan Xu and Xiao Zhu under the willow tree, and as for the hook, it is a sewing needle that he asked for from the guard.

When a soldier goes on an expedition, it is impossible to bring a female dependent.

When the clothes are torn, they are all sewn by themselves, and it is not strange to carry sewing needles with them.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the iron-smelting process had matured, and the needle eye of the sewing needle was just not as small as that of later generations.

Bend the needle into a hook, thread it with twine, and tie it to a branch to make a simple fishing tackle.

Yuan Xu was really worried that there would be a big fish bite.

It is not professional fishing tackle, and crude fishing tackle can only catch a few small fish at best.

The fishing line moved, and through the clear river water, a fish could be seen touching the earthworm on the hook.

"Bite, bite!" Seeing the fish biting the hook, Xiao Zhu danced excitedly.

The fish in the water heard the sound and plunged into the bottom of the river.

Blinking his eyes twice, he scratched his head: "Why did you run away?" ”

"It's not you!" Glaring at him, Yuan Xu said angrily: "Don't make noise!" ”

"Oh!" Responding aggrievedly, Xiao Zhu hugged his knees, staring at the water without blinking.

After a while, the line moved again, and another fish approached the bait.

This time he didn't dare to shout, but he still shook Yuan Xu's arm a few times excitedly, pointed to the water, and opened his mouth.

The arm was shaken, and of course the rod was unstable.

The fishing line shook a few times, and the fish with keen senses realized that something was wrong, and another flutter disappeared.

"Why don't you run?" Very disappointed, Xiao Zhu scratched his head and pouted.

"Do you want to catch a fish?" Holding the fishing rod, Yuan Xu asked him.

"Yes!" Nodding, Xiao Zhu replied without hesitation.

"Let's make a deal." Turning his head to look at him, Yuan Xu said, "First, don't shout loudly. Second, don't touch me! I promise to catch the fish! ”

"Is it okay to shout quietly?" Xiao Zhu blinked his eyes twice.

"No way!" Glaring at him, Yuan Xu looked at the river again.

After a while, another fish bit the hook.

Looking at the fish swimming around the bait, Xiao Zhu wanted to shout but didn't dare, his cheeks were red.

couldn't shout, and he couldn't pull Yuan Xu, his anxious hands couldn't stop rubbing.

The fish finally bit the hook, Yuan Xu lifted the rod, and a fresh crucian carp was thrown ashore by him.

got up and pounced, holding down the bait that was still bouncing, Xiao Zhu shook excitedly at the four guards: "Fish!" Fish! Caught! Caught! ”

The guards ignored him.

If you have such fun with a fool, there will be no one else except for the young man.

"Can you catch fish?" Changing into a new bait, Yuan Xu smiled and asked Xiao Zhu.

"Yes!" Holding the fish tightly like holding a baby, Xiao Zhuxiao's mouth couldn't close: "Can't shout, can't touch you!" ”

couldn't make a sense with him, so Yuan Xu had no choice but to ignore him and continue fishing.

"Childe, it's not early!" Looking up at the sky, a guard reminded: "This place is still thirty or forty miles away from Shangcai!" No matter how late it is, you won't be able to enter the city today! ”

Putting down the fishing rod, Yuan Xu stood up: "It's time to go." ”

Seeing that he was leaving, Xiao Zhu hurriedly came up.

Turning over the horse, Yuan Xu said to him: "You can also go home, and I will come to play with you in two days!" ”

"Oh!" Answered, when Yuan Xu urged the horse forward, Xiao Zhu followed him closely.

"Why don't you go home?" Finding that he was following, Yuan Xu stopped his horse and asked.

"Where's home?" Looking up at Yuan Xu on horseback, Xiao Zhu actually asked rhetorically.

His mind was simple, and Yuan Xu didn't plan to take him away directly.

At least give him a buffer time, and the next time he comes to Caigou, he has visited his family, and then persuade him to follow.

If you take it away directly, won't you become abducting a mentally handicapped teenager?

Giving up Xiao Zhu, of course Yuan Xu is not willing!

After all, having a powerful teenager to follow is a great help to act in the future.

Xiao Zhu's performance made Yuan Xu feel that he seemed to have made a mistake!

"You're not nearby?" Looking at Xiao Zhu, Yuan Xu asked suspiciously.

Looking at him, Xiao Zhu shook his head.

"If you don't live nearby, where are you from?"

Pointing forward, Xiao Zhu looked at him blankly.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Yuan Xu still didn't understand where he came from.

"No relatives here?"

His family was not nearby, and it was likely that he was lost, so Yuan Xu decided to take him on the road as long as he wanted!

Shaking his head, Xiao Zhu didn't say anything.

"Would you like to go with so-and-so?"

Glancing at the food bag hanging next to the guard horse, Xiao Zhu nodded heavily.

For him, the food is much more attractive than Yuan Xu!

"Get on the horse!" Bending down, Yuan Xu stretched out his hand to him.

Holding the fish in both hands and looking up at him, Xiao Zhu did not hand it over.

"Throw the fish away!"

A scene that made Yuan Xu depressed happened immediately, as if he was afraid that the fish would be robbed by him, Xiao Zhu hurriedly hid it behind his back.

Full of black lines, Yuan Xu instructed the guards on the side: "Help him put the fish into a cloth bag!" ”

One of the guards jumped off his horse, carrying a cloth bag and opening his mouth towards Xiao Zhu.

Looking at the guard suspiciously, Xiao Zhu finally put the fish in the bag.

Although he was simple-minded, he also understood that it was inconvenient to hold this fish.

Pulling him by the arm, Yuan Xu smelled a fishy smell.

This kid didn't even notice the smell of fish!

Xiao Zhu sat in front of him, Yuan Xu clamped the horse's belly, and shouted to the guards: "Go!" ”

Five fast horses galloped.

After running for several days in a row, Yuan Xu has long been accustomed to riding horses, although he is not skilled in riding, he can also gallop quickly!

Xiao Zhu obviously hadn't ridden a horse, he tugged at the mane of the war horse tightly, and looked very nervous when the horse was galloping.

Running all the way, until the sun set, Yuan Xu and the others saw a city in front of them from a distance.

Mu was in the sunset, Shangcai City looked extremely peaceful, if he hadn't known in advance, Yuan Xu wouldn't have believed that there was trouble here!

It was getting late, and the city gate was about to close, Yuan Xu urged the war horse to speed up, and shouted to the guards: "Move quickly!" ”
