There is a big river that flows endlessly from north to south more than ten miles to the west of Xinling Town, the river is about 20 zhang wide, unfathomable, this big river called Qingrong originates from the famous Gulanyu Snow Mountain thousands of miles away in the north, the Gulanyu Daxue Mountain is also the source of the other two big rivers in addition to the Qingrong River in Nanluo country, and three natural canals are constructed, raising hundreds of millions of people in Nanluo country.

Fifty years ago, the Qingrong River was originally a border between Nanluo and the western neighbor Dayu, and both countries wanted to completely take this river as their own and make it a frontier moat, so every few years and months would find some excuse to have some large and small collisions, and finally, in the new calendar of Xuanyue 3559, a large-scale war was carried out in the real sense.

After a protracted battle, after hundreds of thousands of loyal athletes were buried in the earth, it finally ended with the victory of Nanluoguo.

The transit of Dayu has shrunk by 500 miles to the west, and the Qingrong River has completely become the third largest canal in Nanluo, although this canal is not used much.

Now, it is the year 3610 of the new calendar of Xuanyue.

At noon, when the sun was shining, a small black-haired boy of four or five years old was squatting on the ground, holding a thin fishing rod in his hand, and a small wooden bucket was placed on his side, but the barrel was empty and there was not even a small fish.

After a while, another boy appeared on a strange black rock, slid down the glorious stone, patted his trousers, which had been worn out with several holes, and ran barefoot on the hard and hot pebbles towards the little boy fishing.

"Why don't you have a single fish, but I picked out those earthworms with great difficulty, not to mention small fish, even if they are as big as me. ”

The boy looked at the empty wooden barrel beside the little boy and shouted, then sat on the ground, turned his head to look at the little boy and asked, "Long Chen, do you want me to try?"

The little boy is Long Chen, he will be five years old in two months, because he is a little older, and he is usually very obedient and sensible, he is finally no longer chained by Xiao Yun all day long, and he no longer has to be physically and mentally destroyed by those aunts and aunts in the vegetable market and fruit market, he can run all over the mountain like an ordinary child.

Since the lockdown was lifted three months ago, Long Chen has begun to wander around Xinling Town, and at the same time, he has inexplicably added an attendant, this attendant is Zhang Zhiqiang, the son of Uncle Zhang, who lives by fishing and growing vegetables in the house opposite the Long family, nicknamed Qiangzi.

Originally, Long Chen was extremely reluctant to be with this sloppy and trouble-loving guy, but Qiangzi was extremely persistent and guarded outside the Long's fence for several days, and after he learned the reason, he reluctantly brought Qiangzi with him.

Qiangzi is one year older than Longchen, it stands to reason that Longchen should be his follower, but in fact, if Longchen had not obtained the right to move freely, Uncle Zhang would not have let Qiangzi go out at all, the reason is nothing more than that Qiangzi is too fond of getting into trouble, of course, if it is with Longchen, a good boy recognized by Xinling Town, Uncle Zhang must think that his son will be influenced to become more obedient.

At first, Qiangzi was just going to use Longchen as a disguise, so that he didn't have to stay at home all day, but he was subdued after a few days with Longchen, and he stuck to Longchen all day and night.

Long Chen doesn't have the aura of an overlord, but he has more strength, runs faster, climbs trees and picks fruits neatly, all because he has not stopped using the Xuan Qi in the veins to improve his physique in the past few years, and he is also used to constantly switching between the control state and the ordinary state, so some of the abilities he showed slightly made the hadron who was only a little more than five years old shocked.

The control state has brought Long Chen many benefits beyond ordinary people, such as when simply running, he only needs to control the movement of his two legs, and the speed reaches twice that of his normal state, but it also depends on the terrain, especially in a familiar place, otherwise he will fall if he can't run far.

Long Chen has always thought that since Xinling Town is where he grew up, then he must keep every place in Xinling Town in mind, he doesn't want to leave Xinling Town one day, when others ask about the bits and pieces of Xinling Town, he only knows that Xinling Town has a vegetable market and fruit market tailor shop......

Xinling Town is the place where Long Chen was reborn, and it is also the place where his wish was realized, and this place is of considerable significance to him.

Hearing Qiangzi's words, Long Chen switched from the state of control, and asked without turning his head: "Can you swallow a pear in one bite?"

Qiangzi thought about the kind of pear bigger than his two heads, and replied directly: "I'm not a big-mouthed monster, how can I swallow a pear in one bite." ”

"Then do you think a small fish can swallow such a big earthworm?"

Long Chen reluctantly lifted the fishing rod and hung the finger-sized earthworm on the hook in front of Qiangzi's eyes, when he first saw such a big earthworm, he thought that the fish in the Qingrong River had a big mouth, but he dried here for more than an hour before he found that he was actually played by a child.

Qiangzi scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then looked at Long Chen with admiration and praised: "I found that you have a special reason to speak, and I understood it all of a sudden." ”

"You come fishing, I'll go see your dad fishing." ”

Long Chen handed the fishing rod to the hand of the strong son, turned around and walked in the direction where the strong son came, the small figure was very agile between the huge strange stones, like a monkey.

Seeing this scene, Qiangzi couldn't help but show a look of worship again, and after turning around, he looked at the big earthworm in his hand, but muttered proudly: "Longchen is good at everything, but his brain can't turn around, don't you know how to divide the earthworm into pieces?"

If Long Chen heard this, he would probably vomit blood in anger, he just thought that thing was weird and disgusting, and cutting it into pieces really affected his appetite for dinner, but he didn't want to be doubted by a five-year-old kid about his IQ.

There is no special meaning for Long Chen to come to the Qingrong River, that is, he wants to see this mother river that nourishes Xinling Town, and by the way, he has not seen this primitive industry and fishing method in the living environment of Uncle Zhang.

I have to say that there are many strange stones on the east bank of the Qingrong River, and Long Chen walked all the way along the river bank to the south and saw a lot of strange stones, if these stones were placed in the previous life, they would definitely make those collectors who are interested in this aspect grab their heads.

Uncle Zhang's fishing place is still some distance from the low-lying pebbles where Longchen fishes, Longchen spent several minutes faintly seeing Uncle Zhang and a few townspeople, the water in that river area is very deep, and the terrain is relatively steep, not a place where a four- or five-year-old child like him should go, although there is no threat to him, but if he goes in the past, he will definitely be blamed, and there is no good fruit to eat when he goes home at night, so he has to stand on a big stone and watch from afar.

Generally speaking, a child who is four or five years old has the full ability to swim around in the river like a frog, but it is only limited to a place where the water flow is moderate and shallow.

After watching it for a while, Long Chen felt bored, so he turned around and walked upstream, and after walking a short distance, he suddenly heard a man calling from behind.

"Little one, wait. ”
