The drought in the village is still very serious, and in order to save a little more drinking water for the villagers, some people keep going out. Hu Kehao didn't want He Xin to suffer in Huaishu Village, and persuaded her: "The village has difficult water, and bathing is a very luxurious thing, I won't keep you here, I'll send you home tomorrow!" ”

"I've disappointed you, I don't want to go back yet. I'm going to fight against God who doesn't rain, and it's a lot of fun. I have no trouble fighting against the arid and smoking earth. I also have to fight against the king of Qinglongtan who refuses to rain for personal revenge, and it is even more fun! He Xin said.

"Qinglong Pond is just a waterhole, how can there be any pool king? I think Uncle Bai is old and confused, and he talks about it. Hu Kehao knew that there were fish, shrimp, crabs, snails, mussel shells, aquatic weeds, and silt in the waterhole, and there could be no human-like creatures, otherwise how could Mr. Darwin be embarrassed?

"Let's go to Qinglong Pond to have a look, just as a tour, maybe we can find something." He Xin always maintains an interest in the unknown and always wants to give it a try, which may be one of the reasons why she was deceived and strayed into a pyramid scheme. In order to fulfill Uncle Bai's entrustment, she tried her best to encourage Hu Kehao to go to Qinglong Pond. Hu Kehao thought that he would go to work in U City in the future, and he would be busy with work, so he would have no time to travel. Now I don't have the fetters of work, and I just want to visit the mountains and rivers of the motherland.

They brought dry food, backpacks on their backs, and came to Qinglong Pond by reversing, changing cars and walking many times. This Qinglong Pond is an AA-level scenic spot in S County, and there are usually some tourists, not very many. Most of the scenic spots are in a primitive and undeveloped state, and there are not many artificial traces. They found a simple farmhouse, and Hu Kehao said, "Boss, we are going to stay here for a few days, do you provide room and board?" How much is a day? ”

"Food and lodging are all-inclusive, 80 yuan per person per day." The boss said.

"How many rooms?"

"Two people in a room, a hundred and sixteen a day. If there are two rooms, it will be a total of two hundred and four per day, all of which will be covered. The boss looked at them and grinned.

"Then we'll book two rooms." He Xin said.

"Looks like you're not married yet, are you? There are many people who live together before marriage! You are a pair of little lovers, come out to play and live separately! "The owner has seen too many couples and felt incredible about their behavior.

"Hehe, we're cousins." Hu Kehao said embarrassedly.

They carried their luggage into the room, drank water, and rested for a while. Have nothing to do, take a walk around the Qinglong Pond. The waterhole embankment is nestled among barren grass and trees, and is surrounded by rice paddies. Although there is no rain here, there is no shortage of water near the waterhole, and the seedlings in the rice fields are growing vigorously and the ears of grain are full.

Suddenly, they heard someone shouting for help. Running over to the sound, they saw a teenage child fall into the rice field, and Hu Kehao hurriedly jumped into the rice field to save him. It turned out that the child was fishing on the edge of a rice field. The rice field was releasing water, and the child used a bamboo basket to plug the gap, and the fish were stopped by the bamboo basket when they were flowing down the rice field. There were more than a dozen big fish in the bamboo basket, and a big fish jumped out of the bamboo basket, and the child caught it with his hands, accidentally fell into the rice field, and was rescued by Hu Kehao, soaking wet.

The child carried a bamboo basket and invited Hu Kehao and He Xin to his house as guests. The child's name was Chen Song, and his father's name was Chen Qingshan. When Chen Qingshan learned that Chen Song had fallen into a rice field, he first scolded him fiercely, and then thanked Hu Kesong. Chen Qingshan has good cooking skills, he grabbed green vegetables and pickled sea peppers from the kimchi jar to make sauerkraut fish, and Hu Kehao and He Xin ate very comfortably.

During the meal, Chen Qingshan talked about his luck this year. That was before the seedlings were planted, and the rice fields were full of water and there were many fish. In the morning, Chen Qingshan also brought a big bamboo basket to the edge of the rice field, connected the bamboo basket to the edge of the gap, and some fish swam down in the field and put it into the bamboo basket. I saw more and more fish in the bamboo basket, and after about two hours, a whole bamboo basket of fish was filled. Chen Qingshan got the fish back and distributed some to the villagers. When the villagers saw that Chen Qingshan had caught so many fish, they were all envious, so they brought their guys one after another, some with bamboo baskets, some with shrimp steaks, and some with fish covers to go to the fields to catch fish. This fish cover is actually a "skirt" made of bamboo, with a big belly and a small mouth. In the water, you estimate where there are fish, you put the fish cover down, the fish is covered in it, and then you directly touch the fish out. This shrimp chop is like a soup spoon with a net, but it is larger in size and is made of bamboo. You scoop the meatballs into the soup with a spoon to get the fish out of the water. At the end of work, Chen Qingshan's family harvested two baskets of fish. The rest of the people in the yard, all of them were depressed, and there was hardly any harvest except for a few small shrimps. When he returned home, Chen Qingshan naturally would not disappoint everyone. He couldn't let himself have meat to eat, and the villagers didn't have any bones to gnaw. Under Chen Qingshan's organization, a bonfire was lit in the courtyard, a cauldron was erected, and more than 100 people in the courtyard gathered, some ate grilled fish, some ate boiled fish, everyone enjoyed all night, and Chen Qingshan's prestige in the courtyard was greatly improved.

Chen Qingshan continued to tell his story. He became addicted to fishing, and the next day he came to a rice field above Qinglong Pond, and he attached a bamboo basket to the gap in the ridge to wait for the fish. As a result, only a few small fish were caught. Chen Qingshan was unwilling, so he took a fishing net from home and threw it into the rice field. At dusk, a big fish appeared. I saw that this big fish was shining with golden light, and its body was about 2 meters long, Chen Qingshan had never seen such a big fish. The big fish jumped up from the rice field and jumped directly into the Qinglong Pond, and the fishing net was pushed high. Chen Qingshan hurriedly grabbed the fishing net, and the big fish struggled hard, almost dragging Chen Qingshan into the Qinglong Pond. Chen Qingshan grabbed a big tree by the pond, tied the fishing net, and dragged the fishing net to the shore with all his strength with both hands. The big fish kept struggling, and finally exhausted and was caught by Chen Qingshan. This fish was finally sold by Chen Qingshan into a restaurant in the county town and made a lot of money.

Chen Qingshan said to Hu Kehao: "This Qinglong Pond is so big, and there is nothing to play with." Fishing is a special activity in Qinglong Pond, and many guests come here. You can fish inside. ”

"You're a good angler, and I'm learning from you." Regarding Chen Qingshan's proposal, Hu Kehao agreed. They agreed to go fishing together the next day.

Chen Qingshan loves fishing, he never buys ready-made bait, and loves to dig earthworms from the soil for bait. He asked his son Chen Song to look at the earthworms in the box, and there was not much left, so he told him to dig earthworms in the soil again. Chen Song's courage is very big, earthworms and locusts, he is not afraid of them at all, and often catches them to play. Chen Song carried a small hoe and dug up at the edge of a damp piece of soil next to the Qinglongtan embankment, where the earthworms were fat and large, and Chen Song did not take much time to dig more than 30 earthworms. Suddenly, Chen Song saw a strange earthworm, this earthworm was covered with red, and the most terrifying thing was that this earthworm had four legs. It's really strange, how can an earthworm grow legs? We know that snakes are legless, and that a snake with legs may be a gecko, a four-legged snake. But what is an earthworm with legs? Certainly not centipedes.

Chen Song screamed in fright. Chen Qingshan got the news and ran out of the house, he saw this strange earthworm, and felt that his son had offended Tianwei and caused a big disaster. Chen Qingshan opened his pocket, put all these earthworms in one go, made a few tricks for them, and went home with Chen Song. At night, while Chen Song and her mother were asleep, Chen Qingshan took the fragrant wax paper money and quietly came to the place where the earthworms were dug alone, burned the paper money there, and accompanied many good words there. There was silence all around, nothing strange happened, and Chen Qingshan was a little relieved.
