Thinking of this, she went back to the broken house, packed up her things, moved here, and lived in her room again.

Early the next morning, Chu Xiaoxi got up before dawn, she didn't dare to sleep too well all night, afraid that she wouldn't be able to get up in the morning, after getting up, she went to the kitchen to get a flat pole to carry water, and then hung the two buckets on both ends of the flat pole, and then went out to the mountain to fetch water.

The creek was about 15 minutes away from her, and she walked briskly, for fear that she would waste too much time and not be able to make breakfast for the old woman on time, and she didn't want to do well on the first day, so she walked very fast, but because she had not picked the flat shoulder, so although it was two empty buckets, she still felt that her shoulders were very tired, and she could only change her shoulders to pick it, and finally came to the creek, she quickly put down the flat shoulder, and carried an empty bucket down to the creek to fetch water, and by the way, she also washed her face and hands.

The stream was constantly flowing, so even if she stood in it and washed her face with water, the water would not be polluted, and after washing her hands and face, she poured the bucket into the water and began to draw water, but when the water was lifted up there was only half a bucket, she had to take another bucket and put it on the shore, and pour it in after lifting the water, but after the bucket was full, the bucket could only be carried halfway, she thought that she would take it slowly, maybe this bucket and a half of water would be enough for cooking.

After that, she used a flat pole to lift the two buckets, and began to walk back, at first I felt better, who knew that the more I walked, the more tired I was, the more tired I walked, she couldn't stand it after just 5 minutes, she could only stop and rest for a while, and then she changed her shoulders to carry water, and after 5 minutes after changing her shoulders, she couldn't stand it again, and the road up the mountain was particularly difficult to walk, in addition to picking two buckets of such heavy water, she hadn't eaten breakfast, she walked more and more difficult, and finally took a lot of effort, and finally moved to the door of the house. By this time, she had been using it for more than 20 minutes.

She sighed deeply, wiped the sweat from her head, carefully lifted the two buckets of water into the house, poured them into the water tank, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to make breakfast, for breakfast she made millet porridge and cut small pickles. She saw that there were steamed buns next to her, and she heated two more steamed buns, and when the meal was ready, they were placed on the table before she knocked on the old woman's door.

The old woman had already woken up, but she didn't go out of the room, she came to the dining table and saw the porridge and side dishes made by Chu Xiaoxi, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You did a good job today, but the time has been used for a long time, and it will be good to hurry up in the future." ”

Chu Xiaoxi said: "I took too long to fetch water today, and it should be faster when I get used to it in the future." ”

The old woman nodded, and then sat down to eat with her. During the meal, the old woman told her that her task at noon was to clean the whole room. After cleaning the room, she will make a lunch, and she will eat fish for lunch.

Chu Xiaoxi asked her where to get the fish, and the old woman said that there was a river near them, and she could go to the river to catch fish, or she could go to the market to buy fish, if she went to the market, I was afraid that there would not be enough time.

Chu Xiaoxi asked her how to catch fish in the river? She gave Chu Xiaoxi a brief explanation. It turned out to be bare hands, with perseverance and induction to grasp. Chu Xiaoxi felt that this was too difficult, because she was just an ordinary person, she didn't know martial arts, and she had never caught a fish, how could she catch a fish by feeling?

But she didn't say bitter, she didn't say that it was difficult, she just said that she would try, she asked the old woman where the river was, and after eating and cleaning up, she went to the river with the bucket.

The river wasn't far from them, but it was about a 10-minute walk. When she came to the river, she found that it was quite wide, and the water was a little muddy, but not so turbulent. The old woman told her that the river was not deep, but only up to her knees, and that she could go into the water to catch it.

However, Chu Xiaoxi was still a little scared when she saw the turbid river, because she couldn't swim, she first took a stone and threw it in and tried it, the splash was not big, and the sound was not deep, so she was relieved, she pulled up her pants and tried to go down slowly from the riverside, but fortunately, the water was really not deep.

Little by little, she tentatively walked to the center of the river, and after walking halfway, she saw that there were fish swimming around, the river looked muddy from afar, and it was quite clear up close, but according to the old woman, the water here could not be drunk, because it was not clean, so the water that she usually drank had to go to the creek to fight, and it was only suitable for raising fish.

She saw that the fish were quite fat, and it looked like it should taste good, so she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, because she hadn't eaten fish for several days, and Xiaozhu used to make it every two days, but she had been here for two or three days, and had only eaten fish once, and now she was a little hungry, so she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to catch fish with her bare hands.

She saw a big fish swim over, hurriedly prepared, and when it swam over, it suddenly pounced forward, grabbed it with her hand, who knew that the fish was very flexible, and when her hand grabbed it, it had already run away with a tail swing.

Chu Xiaoxi sighed and went to catch another one, but he didn't catch it for a long time, and his clothes got wet. She knew that she might return in vain, but she still didn't want to go back like this, and after thinking about it for a while, she decided to use a bucket to scoop, maybe she could scoop the fish.

When she saw a fish swim over, she pulled the bucket down and lifted it, and after several attempts she almost caught the fish, but the fish ran away. It seems that the fish is really smart, and his movements are indeed very flexible, Chu Xiaoxi was helpless, thinking about going back first, and then think about a way to go back, besides, the house has not been cleaned up yet.

After that, she went back and cleaned her room while trying to figure it out. After she had cleaned the room, she fed the chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and cats outside, and she didn't think of any good way to catch big fish other than fishing and fishing with nets.

At this time, she suddenly saw a basket in the kitchen, the basket was quite large, and it looked very deep, and she felt that she should be able to catch the fish, and she was happy, so she picked up the basket and went out, and she came to the river again, and went into the water again, and then used the basket to scoop the fish, and when she saw the fish coming, she put the basket down quickly, and when the fish came, she lifted the basket violently, and tried several times, but failed at first, and finally finally caught a small fish, although it was a small one, but it was better than nothing.

She was so happy that she almost danced with her hands, and tears welled up in her eyes,
