"yes, okay."

"Hey, wait!" Uncle stopped me, "Is there cold water?" Just get me some cold water! "My grandmother and I looked at each other." I'm so thirsty I can't wait. He said embarrassedly,

"Oh, then I'll go get you well water!" I am not used to drinking tap water, compared with tap water, although the well water has not been sterilized, but if you want to choose, I still choose well water, for no other reason, sweet, really sweet. When I first installed tap water, I used tap water to cook porridge at home, and the porridge was bland and tasteless, but after replacing it with well water, it regained its previous fragrance, and the difference was too great, so my family has always insisted on cooking porridge with well water. Later, I lived in the city, but I still miss the well water porridge cooked by my grandmother, I don't know whether I miss the taste of porridge, or the natural taste, when the porridge is opened, the fragrance wafts out of the kitchen, and the fragrant rice soup is the taste of my hometown and the taste of my grandmother. But I can't risk being criticized in a city community to dig a well secretly, and besides, the water source is also a big problem, and if I don't get it right, it may be polluted.

Thick ink helped me fetch a small bucket of well water, and I put a gourd scoop into it, and the gourd scoop was thrown into the bucket, and then it floated up with a big belly. The gourd scoop, and the current plastic water scoop is a role, the difference is that the gourd scoop is made of natural gourd, not only local materials but also purify the water quality, as well as the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, the gourd brothers in the King Kong gourd baby are from here to jump out, the belly is bulging, the top is thin. The tender gourd can be fried and eaten, an old gourd, after drying, two halves of a qiē will become a gourd scoop, take out the gourd inside, the thin part is the handle that can be held, the bulging place is used to scoop water, there are homemade wines in the countryside, and the gourd scoop can also be used to hold wine, which can be described as multi-purpose and convenient.

"Uncle, drink water!" Thick Ink placed the bucket in front of him. The uncle glanced at the gourd scoop, "You can get me a disposable cup, I don't need this, I'm a rough worker, I hate myself." ”

"You just drink with this! Just use this! What to say! Xuanzi, you go and get a clean towel for your uncle and cross some well water. "My grandmother told me.

I took out a new towel from the cabinet, and when I came out, my uncle was already drinking very anxiously with a gourd scoop, so I soaked the towel in cold water, "Uncle, wipe your face." I said.

He didn't refuse this time, looking at the situation, he also knew that he couldn't refuse, he wiped his face indiscriminately, and the color of his face that was tanned by the sun disappeared a little, "Alas, there are still many good people in this world!" ”

"Uncle, isn't it all evening in this cage?" As a person who has been under the shrimp pot more than ten years ago and has been under the ghost, the evening is a good opportunity to go to the cage, how can there be such a person to go into the water under the sun, or at noon when there are few people outside, if something happens, it will be trapped in the pond, how can anyone know.

"I want to go down in now and collect it in the evening."

"Why is it so short?" Thick ink asked, what are you doing in such a hurry to collect the cage? Can't you still collect it at night?

"You misunderstood, I'll take it once in the evening, and then put it in, and tomorrow morning, I can't do it at night." Uncle said. At this time, due to the strong wind, the back door was brought by the wind, and there was no wind on both sides, and immediately the inside of the house became hot again, and the house went to reopen the back door and pressed the bottom with stones.

"Is your home far away from here, so it's inconvenient to come at night?" The grandmother asked.

"No, no, no." He smiled bitterly and said: "I still have to call the battery at night, I can't find clean water in this area, many ponds are filled with garbage, where can I still catch fish and shrimp, I will go to a farther place to find it, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back at night, when I come back in the morning, I passed by here, and by the way I got up the cage and brought it back." ”

"So tired, uncle, why don't you change careers, how tired!" I asked.

Many years ago, there were a lot of people who played batteries here at night, and we often met the little kids who made shrimp pots, which also increased our courage in the dark wilderness. At that time, the pond outside was all clear water, and now many of them have been silted up, just take the pond where the uncle put the cage today, the pond, is the place where I fished the most lobsters when I was a child, and now it is unrecognizable, only the remaining part of the lotus leaves also reminds me that there were once ducks and geese fluttering, the water is crystal clear, and now due to the eutrophication of the water body, the aquatic weeds grow wildly, and a lot of domestic garbage is piled up in the pond, which is already more than half smaller, only a small range of muddy water remains, and the fish and shrimp are about to become extinct. The uncle is touching around in the muddy waters, which is really admirable. Uncle is already so tired during the day, and he has to run around with a battery at night, how can he eat. I don't know if there is such an operation in other places, maybe the people who play the battery are just a major feature of our town, I have said before, they will make a special bag, put the charging battery in it, and then pull out a wire and wire from it and tie it to the stick, they will carry the battery bag behind their backs at night, hold the stick in one hand to the fish in the corona water, and hold the bamboo basket in the other hand to load the fish and shrimp, and run as far away at night as possible, so that other people will go less, there must be more fish and shrimp, and the day will be bright, They took a basket of harvest to the vegetable market to sell for money, in order to make a living, although there is a lot of money, but it is really hard money, hard-earned money, is worthy of our respect, at the same time, this way is really shocking to me. Playing the battery, most of them are a person, and some people are husband and wife, to put it bluntly, it is courageous, big old man, in the middle of the night, in a deserted place, no matter how bold it is. But now there are basically no more people who use batteries, because there are fewer resources, and there are fewer unpolluted ponds, and even loaches and lobsters used to be found in paddy fields, but now even small shrimp can not be found.

"My son is in college, and the burden is heavy! I don't try my best to do it, alas......"

"Did you have company that night?" What about the uncle's wife?

"No, just me, my mother, I work in the factory during the day, and I'm tired enough at night, I can't bear her to follow me." As he spoke, his eyes were full of pity. For the sake of my children's schooling, I can do such a tiring and hard thing, I feel uncomfortable. "There's one less place tonight, ......"

"Landfilled again?" Or is the water in the sugar dry again, I ask?

"No, this is a reed pond, and a brother had an accident there last night, and his peers didn't dare to go." He sighed again, and seemed to be very strict.

"What's the matter?" Thick ink has a keen sense of smell, especially for unknown events that occur in the dark.

The uncle's face changed slightly, he raised his head, his voice suddenly became smaller, and his hand covered his mouth, "It seems that I saw something, and I fell down when I came back, do what we do, how can I not run into it, this is a taboo, we also have our own rules, and we encounter normal, but if we are noticed, it will be a bad thing, I don't dare to go, I want to go to another place." I squinted at the thick ink, and my sense of smell was stronger than life.

"How's that guy doing? Where is that place you're talking about? Thick ink asked.

"Please, great god, it seems to be very strict, I will visit him again in the evening, he had an accident next to a large pond on the outskirts of Maolin Village, where there is heaven and earth all around. He is also in family difficulty, and like me, he has to stick to this line of work! The uncle stood up and said to us, "Thank you, there are still many good people in the world!" I've rested enough, and I'm leaving. ”

"Let's have lunch here and then go, the children have just finished school and are just in time for dinner." Milk exports are retained.

"yes, let's have a meal and then go, you don't know when you'll be able to eat." I followed suit.

"I'll go back when I'm done, I really can't bother you!" He looked down at a puddle of muddy water on the ground, "It also soiled your ground." ”

In the end, he resolutely left with a bag of tools, and since Thick Mo came, he stayed for lunch.

"Thick ink, what did you ask him to do where the accident happened?" I poked the rice in the bowl with my chopsticks, and asked Nong Mo when my grandmother went to serve the soup why he had become so active this time.

"Do you want to ask?" He squinted at me.

"How do you know?" I picked my hair, took a nap, and tied my hair higher, it was too much to poke my neck, and it was uncomfortable.

"When you have braids, I know what you're thinking." After he finished speaking, he threw a mouthful of bitter melon into his mouth. My hand that was picking at my hair stopped, and I quickly took it off.

"What do you want to do?" I lay on the table and leaned forward, "Sue sù me sù me!" "I think my eyes must be glowing.

"It's what you want to do, I'm not sure I can watch you, you can grow your skills now, your tail is up to the sky, you live in a room alone, grandma can't control you, I can't guarantee that you want to do something irresponsible and brain-dead by yourself."

I snapped my chopsticks, "You want to see me before I do!" "I set off a big cylinder of fireworks in my heart, oh also, how can I suppress the joy in my heart, I really dare not go so far alone, I pulled my eyebrows, pretending not to be restrained.

"Since I can't tie you up, let's go together, they still have to support their families, I am a Taoist priest, and I can't tolerate anything that hurts people." Thick Mo took a bite of food, oh also~ Thick Mo is actually sympathetic to them.

"The soup is here, you add it again." The grandmother's eyes were smiling into a slit.

"My grandmother, I drank it before the meal, I can't add it, give thick ink, he said he was thirsty." I bared my teeth at the black lines on my face.

When the thick ink was still complaining about adding soup, I had already rinsed my mouth and climbed onto the small cool bed in the hall, well, why can't I sleep just after eating, it's all floating clouds for the student party, how can I have that time to wait and then sleep, it's unrealistic, it's still comfortable like this, I started to take a nap with my stomach up.

"Xuanzi, get up and go upstairs!" My grandmother patted me on the forehead and said.

"It's hot upstairs, grandma, I like the natural wind." I continued to close my eyes.

"You can sleep downstairs, that milk will close the door on one side, and don't sleep through the hall! The stomach is full of parts, and you have to put things on your stomach, how do you memorize these health knowledge? Do you want me to sue your uncle? Let him punish you for endorsement? The grandmother said sternly. Okay, okay, I got up from the cool bed with my stomach up, and I wanted to put the soup on his head as he smiled with a bowl of soup.
