Chapter 123: Something on the Beach
Where did such a big fish come from? A month and a half ago, the Yellow River was cut off, and I didn't find such a big fish, so I wouldn't swim up from the sea, right? …… In fact, sometimes it's so strange, just like the ditch in the west of our village, when there is a lot of water, you can always see fish in the water and it seems that it is not small, but when the water is about to dry up, I can't find even a single fish, and sometimes I even suspect that the fish have burrowed into the ground.
I didn't eat any fish, and I worked in vain, and the dozen or so neighbors in Hewang Village were not very happy and returned to the village in a huff.
When I got back to the dam house, I cleaned up a little and sent the photo to Wu Jinghan during the break.
Seeing that it was almost noon, I was worried that there was no place to eat, it was too far back to the water conservancy station, and there was nothing to sell in the village, when I heard a crisp voice from the door behind me: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”
This voice is familiar...... When I turned around, I saw Wang Shengjia looking at me with his lips pursed.
"Nope!"
"Then go to my house and eat!" The corners of her mouth twitched, "You can also taste my craft." ”
"To your house? …… Oh good! ”
In fact, when I heard him say this, my first reaction was to refuse, but in the countryside, the influence of lonely men and widows is not good, and I haven't been chewed up by those aunts and sisters, but I don't know how to refuse, not to mention that she came to call me, it's not appropriate not to go.
I wiped my hands and left him alone! He took his coat and followed her to Hewang Village.
As soon as I entered the village, my mobile phone rang, and I saw that it was Wu Jinghan calling.
"Hey! Lu Dong, where was the photo you sent was taken? After connecting the phone, the old man's voice came from the microphone, which sounded a little familiar.
"On the edge of the Yellow River, it was washed ashore by the river this morning, and several neighbors found ......"
Before I could speak, the other side of the phone urged, "Now what about that big fish!" ”
"It's been released!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a sigh came from the microphone.
"Okay, maybe we'll look for you before dark, and we'll get in touch then!"
Looking for me? Who is this? How to hold Wu Jinghan's mobile phone. I was confused.
Wu Jinghan's mobile phone, the familiar old man's voice, who is this person?
I was about to hang up the phone, when I heard Wu Jinghan's voice coming from the microphone: "Why, I didn't hear who it was?" Your savior, Professor Song, was invited by his mentor. ”
It dawned on me that it was Professor Song.
"And where are you now?"
"In Niutou Village, where we went before, Professor Song and my tutor have already contacted the local cultural relics department and are ready to bring the two-headed six-eyed stone statue back for research."
"Oh yes! The two red coffins are still in the temple? ”
"I knew you were going to ask about it!" Wu Jinghan paused. "There is no coffin in the temple, I asked a neighbor, it was the village chief who found someone to bury, and next to the temple, there was a stone tablet!"
I suddenly felt warm in my heart, and the two of them snuggled up to each other and walked out of the broken temple in my mind again, and the two poor people can be regarded as having a happy ending, if people will enter another world after death, I believe that they must love each other and will never be separated.
deducted the phone, and it had already arrived at Wang Shengjia's house.
I saw that Wang Shengjia's face was full of tears, but people were laughing.
"Did you hear the call?"
He sobbed and nodded, "That's good! I was very touched by them...... I'm crying with joy! ”
Wang Shengjia had already cut the vegetables, asked me to sit in the living room for a while, smiled to himself, and turned around and went to the kitchen.
Soon three dishes and a pot of soup were placed on the table, and he took off his apron, wiped his hands on it, and sat down across from me with a smile.
"You won't worry about your girlfriend being upset, will you?"
I quickly shook my head: "No! It's just sitting here thinking of Uncle Wang, and I feel a little ......"
"Thank you!" Before I could finish, she took out a bottle of red wine from under the dining table and poured me half a glass.
"Thank me? Thank me? This surprised me.
"Thank you for helping so much since my father passed away...... I'm sure his story will soon come to light. With that, she poured herself another half glass.
"You're too polite to say that."
The two clinked glasses and took a sip each.
"What's next for you?"
"I want to get this side done and go back to work, it's all over!" She smiled bitterly, "I don't have any relatives now!" ”
These words resonated with me.
Wang Shengjia and I have a lot of similarities, we are both fatherless and motherless children now, but I am luckier than her, I have an uncle and an aunt, and I am still not sure that my father is no longer alive.
In fact, I have always had this feeling in my heart, my father just can't come out to see me for some reason, but he is still alive and well. I have already decided that when the river recedes this time, I will take a long vacation and go to Shaanxi again, even if it is a trip to Wolong Mountain, to find clues about my father's disappearance.
The two chatted while eating, and before they knew it, two hours passed.
At this time, I heard the bustle outside, the sound of people talking, and the sound of footsteps while running.
I admit that I was also "bitten by a snake for one year, and afraid of the well rope for ten years", and my first feeling was: there was another accident in the Yellow River!
Hurriedly rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and saw several neighbors running towards the entrance of the village.
"What's wrong?"
I stretched out my arm to stop a neighbor, and it was only then that I noticed that this man was grinning as he ran, just like the villagers in the morning.
"I don't have time to talk to you, I'm late, and I won't be able to pick up good things!"
The man waved his hand to get out of the way and continued to run west.
I cursed secretly, it couldn't be that copper-headed Arhat washed ashore again! It's the rhythm of not wanting to live.
I hurriedly went back to the house to talk to Wang Shengjia, and then strode towards the Yellow River.
As soon as I climbed the Yellow River dam, I saw many villagers scattered on the Yellow River stalls from a distance, most of them bending over, as if picking up something. White carp again? This scene also looks familiar, and it was the same when white carp appeared in the Yellow River beach that day...... These villagers can't really think about their birthdays!
No way! I've got to stop it.
I quickened my pace and ran past, and the closer I got to the riverbank, the more I wondered.
Looking at the villagers who were close to me, they were not carrying fish in their hands, but all of them were carrying pots and pans and other utensils, and a fat woman was holding a black teapot in her hand.
This is......
I thought of a profession that was unique to the Yellow River in the past: digging huanger. It seems that this heavy rain has washed down a lot of good things from the upstream, and while I am relieved, I also have a little contempt for these hot villagers in front of me.
Pots and pans are not worth much, not to mention that they have been used by others, and I don't know if there is an infectious disease.
After walking a few dozen meters further, I could see the things in the hands of several people, and I suddenly felt strange.
