Before leaving, in addition to educating Ah Hai, Wei Xiaotang and me on safety, my father and Feiyuzi also repeatedly emphasized that during this trip to the border of Guangxi, we must "follow the customs of the villagers" if we want to go to the ethnic minority areas.

Feiyuzi even regarded whether or not we can truly "follow the customs of the locals" as a prerequisite for the complete success of our trip to the Guangxi border.

My father even told me the idiom allusion of "following the customs": following the customs of the locals means that when you go to a place, you will obey the local customs. It is necessary to respect, adapt and actively integrate into local customs and culture. Don't cause too much trouble to others.

We were a group of five people and two cars along the Pearl River, Xijiang River, Yongjiang River, and Zuojiang River. According to the information Wei Xiaotang consulted on the Internet in advance, as well as the fishing spots recommended by local fishing friends, we fished all the way and went west.

When we arrived at Fusui County, southwest of Nanning Wuxu Airport, we stayed at the Songjiang Hotel, which is located on the side of the Zuojiang River. By the time I checked in, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Listen to the front desk waiter, in the northwest corner of the county not far from the hotel there is a temple called Jinji Rock, usually people are released there, often there are a large number of billfish in the water surface to eat.

After hearing this, Feiyu and Ah Hai didn't care about the fatigue of driving for a long time, so after putting away their luggage, they asked everyone to drive to the fishing spot.

On the way, he passed by the county middle school, and saw a few golden characters at the school gate from a distance, and Wei Xiaotang hurriedly called to stop.

Wei Xiaotang said that his classmate who slept in his upper bunk in college was a teacher in this middle school, and how could he turn a blind eye and leave when he passed by the door of his old classmate's house?

After putting down Wei Xiaotang, we continued to rush to the fishing spot. In less than twenty minutes, we arrived at the Jinjiyan Ferry Terminal.

Jinji Rock is the site of the Ming Dynasty, located in the round thick and majestic Bijia Mountainside, close to the Zuojiang River, and the county middle school across the river. Legend has it that the Golden Rooster Niangniang has achieved positive results in this cultivation, so it is called "Golden Rooster Rock". Its magical Yuxiu has attracted many ancient and modern people, celebrities, experts and scholars, celebrities, pilgrims and tourists. Xu Xiake, a famous geographer and traveler in the Ming Dynasty, once left a "three mistakes and three returns" in this cave; Qing Dynasty celebrity Liu Zhaijun carved the inscription "Chicken Rock Sail Shadow" on the cliff wall, which is strong and shining.

When we found a place to park our cars, we found that there were many well-dressed women on the shore, singing and dancing in a long line that did not see each other.

The wharf was full of offerings, some people were blowing and blowing, and several Taoist priests were singing and dancing to perform rituals. There were also people who kept pouring buckets of snails and loaches into the river.

It turned out that this was a rain prayer procession praying for rain. I heard that it was the third day, and although the women were sweating profusely and exhausted, we looked up and saw that there was still no cloud overhead, and there was no sign of rain.

After the flying fish boy parked, he did not get out of the car. He said, "People are praying for rain, so let's not wave our rods in front of a team of hundreds of people praying for rain." After all, they have just released the animals into the river, and these released loaches and snails are all going to pay tribute to the Water Dragon King, so that the Water Dragon King will send an order to the heavens to rain.

Flying Fish didn't open the car door, and from time to time pressed his hand against the restless dog that was jumping up and down. Apparently he was worried that his pure black male dog would see such a scene. If the dog saw the shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals of the water dragon king who came up from the river to enjoy the rich sacrifices, and barked wildly, wouldn't it be a good thing for the people who prayed for rain. If you don't get to be hunted down by them, you'll be in trouble.

Seeing the release of the river, the water surface is turbulent, and a large group of billfish violently pounce on the loaches floating on the water surface, everyone's hands and feet are itchy, and their hearts are very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the team begging for rain soon blew and blew and left. It was as if he had invited the Water Dragon King, and he was going to escort the Water Dragon King all the way to a dry place for a downpour.

After the team left, everyone quickly took out the fishing tackle from the back of the car and ran to the pontoon bridge of the pier to start fishing. Almost every time a few rods are thrown, there will be a heavy pause, everyone is very excited, once the fish is hit, the rod will fly directly to the shore, all five or six catties of big mouths.

In less than an hour, the three of them caught a total of fifteen or sixteen, and I helped to put the fish in the fish guard, and I was very happy with them.

Halfway through, my father came across a heavy pause and almost didn't pull him into the water. Seeing this, Flying Fish and Ah Hai hurriedly ran over to help, Flying Fish stretched out his hands from behind his father and hugged his father tightly, trying to keep his father from being dragged by the big fish and staggering, while Ah Hai, who was in a hurry, ran back and forth with a copy net.

After tossing for nearly forty minutes, he finally pulled a herring of nearly fifty catties ashore.

"It's going to be a herring!" Father panted.

"The snail is a favorite of herring. There were so many snails that fell down for three days in a row, and the herring dozens of miles away had to rush to the banquet! Flying Fish laughed.

The sun was setting in the mountains to the west, and the fish mouths were gradually decreasing, perhaps because they had scared the other fish away during the fight with the herring just now.

Just when I didn't know whether to continue fishing, Wei Xiaotang called, and he urged us to hurry back to drink. He said that his classmate, Mr. He, had prepared a banquet at home and was waiting for us to take our seats.

Everyone hurriedly packed up and drove to the county middle school.

All the fish were given to Mr. He, which was also a welcome gift.

Teacher He hurriedly asked his wife to give the fish to other neighbors.

In order to entertain college classmates who have not seen each other for ten years, Mr. He and his wife specially took a day off today to cook at home and hold a feast.

The living room with wooden floors is spacious and bright, and a large turntable table with a diameter of 1.8 meters is filled with a variety of dishes. Teacher He also specially invited several leaders of the school and several young teachers to accompany him, and a table full of fifteen or sixteen people.

Before the banquet, Mr. He first pointed to the dishes on the table and introduced them one by one, what Zuojiang Yusheng, Shanwei dog meat, the white lemon duck, and the white chopped chicken at the East Gate...... There was a big table, all local dishes. The drink is also locally made old sake.

After Mr. He's introduction, he politely said, we are a small place here, not as good as Guangdong, and I have wronged my old classmates and a few of you friends from Guangdong.

When we hear it, we can't help but be a little ashamed.

"The dish is rich enough! In recent years, there are not many people who cook their own dishes at home. Teacher He, you ...... What a friend! Flying Fish looked at a table of sumptuous dishes, and gave a thumbs up and was a little incoherent with excitement.

I thought to myself, that's true. If the feelings are average, just ask for random in the restaurant outside. Entertaining at home requires a lot of thought and effort!

Although the current dishes are not as expensive as the tuna feast that the flying fish invited in 16 courses, the hospitality of the host is not inferior in any way.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two old classmates who reunited after a long absence, reminisced about the past of the campus and recounted their feelings after parting.

When the wine was half-drunk, in order to enliven the atmosphere, Mr. He proposed to drink with his fists. Teacher He said: "Wide code or willow code? "It means to ask everyone whether to speak Liuzhou dialect or Nanning vernacular when guessing the code. Maybe the Nanning vernacular and Cantonese are compatible, and some people immediately said that everyone speaks vernacular, wide code.

Teacher He spread his right hand forward, and said loudly: "One horse and four hooves, two wins in three games, the losing horse wins the wine, whoever loses will go to the ......" and said to me with a smile, you are still a student, you are in charge of refereeing and screening bars.

I heard that they were going to play and drink, and Feiyuzi Ahai's father and Wei Xiaotang were all stage frightened, after all, they rarely saw guessing codes in Guangdong, and they usually drank a lot of tea in the teahouse. However, Mr. He and several school leaders persuaded him: "Follow the local customs, and the guests will do as they ......."

Hearing the words "follow the customs", the father and the others immediately fell silent, obviously they did not dare to refuse. Admittedly, they are also very curious, after all, they rarely see someone in Banzhou to guess the code, usually drink tea, to say boxing, they will at most "two butterflies fly, fly to the flowers......

Teacher He sincerely demonstrated to everyone first, and then began to fight wheels. Later, it can be said that he drank sand and stones, and the sky was dark.

The results of the flying fish boy and several of them are naturally as Mr. He said: "Lose your fist and win the wine." ”

Except for me, the four of them were very drunk, and they were as drunk as mud. If it weren't for Teacher He asking someone to send it back, he wouldn't have been able to go back to the hotel at all.

After returning to the hotel lobby, two of Mr. He's friends carried the flying fish cubs up the stairs on the left and right. The drunken flying fish boy said intermittently with a wine partition:

"I'm ...... tonight I finally understood the simple enthusiasm of the Zhuang compatriots...... I understood what the Zhuang compatriots said, 'It is better to hurt the body than to hurt the feelings,'...... I learned the hospitality and fierce wine style of the Zhuang people! ......”

The next morning, Mr. He invited us to lunch again. At the end of lunch, after I said goodbye to Mr. He, we continued to go west along the direction of the source of the Zuojiang River, and when we passed by the Leaning Tower of the Zuojiang River at three o'clock in the afternoon, we were confused by the two banks of the landscape painting, and took out the fishing tackle to fish by the river, and caught more than a dozen red eyes. At five o'clock, he reluctantly packed up and went to Ningzhou County on the Sino-Vietnamese border.
