Shengjing is located in the northeast of China, and by the end of September, the weather has gradually cooled. For some anglers, this is the end of the fishing season of the year, and if you don't take advantage of the opportunity, it will be mid-May until the fish in the wild bite the hook.

Hazelnut Ridge Reservoir is the intersection of Shengjing and Linshi, every summer there are always fishing enthusiasts in groups of three or five, dragging the family with the mouth to come, fishing, camping, picnic has been integrated, but at the end of September this season, the river fish in the Northeast Reservoir has been difficult to bite and eat, so the number of people who go to the reservoir to fish has decreased sharply, except for those fishing fans who are not fishing for fishing only for fishing addiction, it is the beginner who does not know anything about fishing all kinds of common sense.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the last rays of sunshine at dusk have sunk to the horizon. The temperature also dropped suddenly, and the two young men of twenty-seven or eighteen looked at the fishing rod in front of them on the edge of the reservoir, rubbing their hands together and shivering. One of them, a young man with a combed head and glasses, and a very delicate facial features, said with some dissatisfaction: "Li Qian, I told you a long time ago that this season is not suitable for fishing, not only do you not listen, but you also have to come to night fishing." Now that we can't catch fish, do we need to freeze here for the night? ”

The young man known as Li Qian almost frowned, waved his hand and said depressedly: "If I don't know how to drive, how dare I bother your old man, you can be considerate of me, I am about to go to the fishing magazine as an editor, if you don't learn to fish, you can't be laughed at to death, time waits for no one, you can't really let me wait until next summer, right?" Besides, it's not that you don't fill up the tank and can't go back now. ”

The young man with glasses with his own head lit a cigarette depressedly, took a hard puff and said, "We can't even adjust the drift and rub the bait, and it will be hell if we can catch a fish." ”

Li Qian rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed: "Mistakes, mistakes, looking at the introduction in the book, it is very simple, I didn't expect the actual operation to be so difficult." But this black light is blinding, you don't want to be a ghost, a god, if you shout something, you will regret it. ””

The young man with split glasses turned around and glared at Li Qian fiercely, but he still glanced around, and then stopped making a sound, his eyes turned to stare at the float that was above the water, hoping that there would really be a fish bite on the bottom of the water, so that the float could sink.

After a while, the wind gradually picked up on the edge of the reservoir, and the willow trees and half-human-high weeds next to it sounded with the sound of the whimpering wind, and the two people sitting by the river also became more and more restless. The young man with split glasses stood up and threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it fiercely, and beckoned Li Qian beside him: "Get up, let's take a look at the woods, I heard that there seems to be a village on that side during the day, if there is a hotel, let's stay overnight, at least mix a cup of hot water, otherwise we have to freeze to death here." I'm calling someone to bring oil tomorrow. ”

Li Qian was already so cold that he couldn't bear it, but he was so embarrassed that he came to fish by himself, and he was really embarrassed to open his mouth to leave first, and immediately stood up from the ground after listening to the words of the young man next to him. Together, the two put fishing rods, boxes, and other fishing tackle on a black medium-sized jeep parked nearby. Then the two of them followed the words of their daytime fishing friends and walked east through the woods on the edge of the reservoir.

The two of them walked for a long time, and the wind seemed to be getting stronger, and the sound of the wind was already connected with the sound of trees and weeds on the side of the road. The moonlight, which was originally very bright, was obscured by clouds from nowhere, and the light was almost invisible. The road in the woods is getting narrower and narrower, as if you have reached a dead end. Just when the young man was about to complain again, the young man named Li Qian suddenly shouted, pointed to the front and said, "Where is the light, it seems that there is someone's house, let's go quickly." ”

The young man looked in the direction of his finger, and there were indeed a few faint lights flickering in front of him, and the two of them couldn't help but get excited and stepped up their steps to move forward.

When they walked to the light, the two found that it was an old three-story residential building that seemed to be abandoned, and the front and back of the house were overgrown with weeds, but from the outside, there were still several houses with lights on. Li Qian couldn't help but underestimate: "Who lives in such a remote area, isn't it a nail household who resists demolition?" ”

The young man ignored him and shouted a few times inside at the gate. After a short time, they heard someone answering inside, and the two of them followed the sound of the response, and as soon as they entered the door, they turned through the corridor and saw a very wide field, and there were six or seven people waiting there in front of them. The young man hurriedly took a few steps forward and said politely: "Hello everyone, my name is Li Si, and this is my friend Li Qian." We came to Hazelnut Ridge to fish, but I didn't expect it to be so cold at night on the edge of the reservoir, and the car had no gas. I want to see if there is a hotel here, or where it is convenient to use a night. We're willing to pay for accommodation. ”

The leader in the front few people was a middle-aged man in his 40s, who looked very strong, listened to Li Si's words, looked at the person next to him, and laughed heartily: "What is the night or not, this place is not ours, we are all travel friends, group self-driving tours, everyone has known each other for a short time." When I came here this evening, I saw that there was an abandoned factory building, and I didn't set up a tent because I lived in it. ”

A young man in his thirties wearing a floral shirt next to him continued: "There are more than 30 people in our group, some of the others are sleeping, some are busy with their own affairs, you don't dislike it and you also rest here for a night, although it is simple, but everything is complete." We've got spare sleeping bags and stoves, so get two sets for both of you. After speaking, he pointed to the inside and said, "There are empty rooms there, live casually, come, and come with me to the sleeping bag and the stove." ”

Li Si and Li Qian hurriedly thanked them again and again, and after the two followed the young man in the flower shirt to get the items, they found a vacant room at random near the inside. After laying out the sleeping bag and lighting the stove, the two felt a lot warmer all of a sudden, Li Qian was more active and wanted to pull Li Si to chat with those donkey friends, Li Si felt a little tired, waved his hand and refused, Li Qian could only go out by himself helplessly.

Just when Li Si was about to take off his coat and enter the sleeping bag to rest, he heard two knocks on the door, and when he looked up, the middle-aged man in his 40s walked in, holding an electric kettle and a box of instant noodles in his hand, and said to Li Si with a smile: "Your friend ate noodles there, saying that you didn't eat at night, so I will bring it to you." ”

Li Si hurriedly thanked him, took the instant noodles and poured the hot water into the kettle himself, Li Si saw that the middle-aged man had no intention of leaving, raised his head and asked, "Big brother, your surname, what do you call it?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and replied, "My name is Sun Yanhui, a person from Hunan." Li Si listened and said casually: "I've been to Hunan, which city are you from?" What do you do? ”

The middle-aged man grinned: "I am from Linxiang, I don't have any skills, I learned embroidery with my mother at home since I was a child." ”

"Huh? Embroidery? Li Si thought he hadn't heard clearly, so he asked. The middle-aged man glanced at Li Si, as if he hadn't heard Li Si's question, pursed his lips and smiled: "My mother embroidered very well, she was a ...... before" Speaking of this, the middle-aged man patted his head in annoyance, and said a little shyly: "I forgot." With that, he turned around and went out.

Li Si looked at his back a little confused, and just when he wondered if this person was nervous, a man in his thirties who had lent them a sleeping bag and wore a floral shirt walked in, and smiled apologetically at Li Si: "I'm sorry, we don't have much with the kettle, have you used it up." ”

"It's gone, it's gone, thank you!" Li Si thanked him and handed the kettle to the man in the flower shirt, and said, "If I hadn't met you, I really wouldn't know how to survive this night, it would have caused you too much trouble." ”

The young man in the flower shirt waved his hand and said: "They are all out of the house, it is natural to help each other, why are you so polite, brother, what do you do?" ”

"Ah, I'm running business, what do you do, big brother? I don't know your last name yet! Li Si replied politely.

"My name is Sun Yanhui, I don't have any skills, and I learned embroidery with my mother since I was a child." The young man in the flower shirt replied solemnly.

"What? Your name is also Sun Yanhui, and you also embroider? Li Si looked at the man in the flower shirt opposite who claimed to be Sun Yanhui, looked at his serious expression, felt a cool air coming up from his back, and said with a reluctant smile: "Then are you also from Linxiang, and you forgot what your mother did." ”

"Yes, I am from Linxiang, my mother used to embroider hijabs for those married girls in our county, how can I forget, her craftsmanship is good, I don't know how much stronger than the machine." The young man in the flower shirt continued to answer seriously.

Li Si felt that his mouth was a little dry, his hands and feet seemed to be bubbling cold, he looked at the dark night sky along the window, showed an expression that he thought was a smile, and said: Don't joke about me, it's a little funny. ”

"I hate it, why are people scaring you?" The young man in the flower shirt glanced at Li Si with slanted eyes, and went out with broken steps.

Li Si, who stayed in the house, became restless, he wanted to leave immediately, he kept looking out of the door hoping that Li Qian could come back soon, even if he froze to death outside, it was a hundred times better than staying in this strange place.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open again, and an old man who looked about 60 years old walked in from the outside, who had not seen it before, and should be one of the travelers who had stayed in the house before. The old man came in and looked at Li Si for a long time, and he showed an innocent smile and said softly: "Hello, my name is Sun Yanhui, and I am from Linxiang, Hunan. ”

Li Si looked at the expression of this old man's innocent face, which should never have appeared on the face of an elderly man, and retreated to the corner step by step, looking at the old man in great horror. At this time, four or five more people came in from outside, and the two men in their 40s who claimed to be Sun Yanhui in flower shirts were among them, and they knelt in front of Li Si with the old man, with innocent eyes, a shy smile on his face, his mouth opened and closed, and said to Li Si in the same rhythm: "My name is Sun Yanhui." ”

When Li Qian chatted with a group of donkey friends for a long time, he reluctantly returned to his room after seeing that it was too late, and saw Li Si on the ground shrugged his shoulders and said, "You kid hasn't slept yet, and you've been staying by yourself for so long." ”

Li Si, who was sitting on the ground, slowly raised his head, looked at Li Qian with an innocent and shy face, and said, "Who is the kid?" My name is Sun Yanhui. ”
