How to divide the fish

Most of the villagers were cowardly, and at first only a few dared to go up to the reservoir, and when they found that the people who passed first did not trample on the ice sheet, and then everyone else also hugged them.

Lu Yu did not participate in the process of casting nets to fish, and the complete ice sheet on the reservoir surface was missing such a large piece, and there must be a lot of fish gathered to float to breathe, and it would not be difficult to catch fish.

Someone cast the net and pulled it up, and sure enough, the net hung up with a lot of fish. The harvest of this net made the onlookers cheer and jump, and then they all continued to cast the net with great interest. And things like hooks and harpoons are almost useless.

Yan Xiding held the harpoon, stood on the shore, and said dejectedly: "If you take the harpoon for nothing, you won't need it." The edge of the circular ice cave was surrounded by villagers fishing and watching the excitement, and Yan Xiding couldn't even squeeze in.

Lu Yu said: "The harpoon will be used in the future, we can go to the valley to spear fish." Lu Yu saw that Yan Jibai and his wife did not come out, and said to Yan Xi'an: "We don't need to fish, let's go back." ”

"Okay, there's nothing to see anyway." Yan Xiding likes to watch the excitement the most, but today the excitement doesn't seem to be good-looking, and he can't participate in it, so he thinks it's better to go back.

Lu Yu and a few people turned around to go back, but Fang Daping saw it, called out to Lu Yu, and said that he might have to divide the fish in a while, what are you going to do now.

"It's okay, just leave us some then." Lu Yu didn't plan to ask for it, but he thought that he had not only made a lot of effort today, but also had a big mess, and this fish couldn't be wanted.

Fang Daping nodded in agreement, and told Lu Yu to come over in a while.

When he got home, Lu Yu went into the bamboo house where he slept and meditated and practiced. This afternoon in the reservoir, not even a piece of huge ice could be lifted with his bare hands, Lu Yu felt that his cultivation was really not powerful, it was because he was too self-righteous before, thinking that he had practiced for a few years, how great it was.

Seeing that Lu Yu went to practice, Yan Xi'an's sister and brother also consciously practiced, Lan Shaofang was so active that she couldn't sit still, but no one played with her, so she was bored for a while, and she also accompanied Yan Xi'an to meditate and practice.

The time of cultivation passed the fastest, and the aura had been running in the body for a few weeks, and when Lu Yu opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window was already slightly dark.

Lu Yu remembered that he was going to get fish, so he got up from the bed and prepared to go to the reservoir.

Yan Xi'an and the three were still practicing, and when Lu Yu heard their even breathing, he didn't bother, and went straight to the reservoir himself.

Because there are not too many fish in the reservoir, the villagers tossed around the round pit for an afternoon, and they caught everything they could catch, not even the small fry.

When Lu Yu went to the reservoir, the villagers were still casting nets, although they went down to the net, and they could catch only a few small fish at most.

"These people are going to be killed." Lu Yu sighed, but he was not worried that all the fish would really be caught, the reservoir was not small, and the ice cave smashed out was only a few square sizes, and it was impossible for all the fish to gather together.

Lu Yu found Fang Daping and asked him to ask the villagers to collect the net first, it was dark, and it was too cold at night to divide the fish.

Fang Daping went to shout several times, and the villagers who cast the net reluctantly collected the net, saying that they would fish it again tomorrow. Lu Yu couldn't blame them for being greedy

Heart, in addition to themselves, every household in the village is short of vegetables, and today I have the opportunity to catch fish, and I want to get more.

Someone made a fire on the shore of the reservoir, and there was a pile of fish next to the fire, and they were all known to be hard. Lu Yu glanced at the fish pile and estimated that there must be hundreds of catties, and the harvest is not small.

At this time, Yan Xi'an and Lan Shaofang came over again to come and see the fish.

The villagers also saw Lu Yu there, and some people whispered on the side: "Da Yu, don't you have any fish at his house?" Why do you want to share it with us? ”

"Who knows? If there is a good thing, it can't come. ”

Lu Yu was speechless and a little angry, so he deliberately said loudly to Daping: "This reservoir belongs to our village, and the fish in it are caught, and every household has a share." ”

"Of course, everyone has a share, and you have a bigger part in Da Yu." Fang Daping couldn't be clearer about some of the virtues of some villagers, and he also said in a thick voice: "There are still seventy-eight households in our village, and these fish will be weighed in a while, we don't care about the population, we only divide them according to the head of the household." ”

"That's not good, there are six people in my family, and there are only two people in the family next door to me, if we want to divide it like this, won't we suffer a loss?"

"What's that called? Could it be that if we have less family, we have to divide less, and the things in this fish pond reservoir have always been divided according to the head of the household. ”

"Anyway, no, I don't agree, we have to divide it according to the head."

"Why, what's wrong with your family? Then according to what you say, he is alone in the Da Yu family, so shouldn't he be gone? "Obviously, the one with a small family wants to pull Lu Yu into his camp.

And someone on the other side said: "When did the Da Yu family have only one person?" Isn't Mr. Yan their family? And Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming

But it is also surnamed Lu. Although sometimes Lu Yu is not very popular, when these villagers have disputes, they still hope that Lu Yu can stand on their side.

Lu Yu was a little angry, and thought to himself: "You guys are arguing, what are you trying to do with me?" I don't care about you in many people's family! ”

…

So in this way, when there are many people in the family, they claim that they must divide the fish according to the head, so that of course they can divide more; If the family has a small population, they agree with Fang Daping's meaning, and each household will divide the same amount regardless of the number of people. Therefore, the villagers who held these two views quarreled and quarreled, and they almost didn't do anything.

Lu Yu couldn't stand it anymore, but he didn't want to pay attention to this group of undisciplined guys, he decided to go back first, and then come back to get the fish when the time came—even if he didn't get it, it didn't matter, it was better than listening to this group of people chirping.

Before leaving, Lu Yu still roared: "It's going to be cold in a while, you have to divide the fish quickly." After roaring, Lu Yu took Yan Xi'an and them back.

When I got home, Mrs. Yan had already prepared dinner and was waiting to eat. So Lu Yu felt a little guilty, and went to see the excitement by himself, and he didn't even cook.

As soon as he entered the house, Yan Xiding shook his head and said: "Alas, the people of this village have not grown at all, and they are not ashamed to make noise and shout for the sake of fish." ”

"It's just that they're not good." Lan Shaofang agreed.

Although Yan Jibai didn't go out, he heard some voices and probably knew something, so he said, "That fish is not for us."

It's a big deal, but for the villagers, it's a very important thing, and it's definitely something to fight for. ”

Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, a few catties and taels of fish is not a trivial matter for them, and it is no wonder that they quarrel." He was still thinking in his heart: "Yan Xiding said that the villagers have not grown, this is nonsense, the villagers are good and bad, generous and stingy, but when it comes to their own interests, how many can they deal with it indifferently, without arguing or quarreling?" And even if it is another ten years and a hundred years, they will not change this disposition. ”

"Uncle, you said that they wouldn't fight when they quarreled, right? In this weather, if anyone gets injured in a fight, it's going to be bad. ”

Lu Yu thought about it, shook his head and said, "Probably not, right?" After a while, it was freezing outside, could these guys stay next to each other and not go home? ”

"That's not necessarily, those fish don't have points, who is willing to go home." Yan Xiding doesn't like most of the villagers in Yangshan Village.

Mrs. Yan was kind-hearted and said to Lu Yu: "Lu Yu, after eating for a while, you can go and have a look again, persuade everyone to go home, but don't fight for the sake of fish." ”

Lu Yu nodded.

After eating the rice in the bowl, Lu Yu went out, still holding the big kitchen knife in his hand. For a long time recently, whether Lu Yu went to the town or went into the mountains to hunt, he didn't bring a knife anymore, because he felt that he didn't need it. But this time he felt that it seemed better to carry a knife, firstly, it could have a more deterrent effect in front of the villagers, and secondly, it could also defend himself, just if he met the master a few days ago again, after all, it was night.

As soon as it gets night, the temperature outside the house drops a little bit, and it will soon be cold to the point that the water drips into ice, and ordinary people can't stay outside for a long time.

When Lu Yu arrived at the lake, the crowd was much smaller, but it was far from dispersed, leaving behind some young and middle-aged men and a few peasant women who were not inferior to the men. And these people are still arguing about whether the fish should be divided according to the population or the household.
