readx;?“ Old Zhou, how do you know this? Did you ever work as a blacksmith?"

"Yes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, after only working as an apprentice for more than half a year, he couldn't stand the bullying of the master, so he beat the master and ran away. ”

The listeners only paid attention to what happened to his apprentice, and forgot the point—how did he know this?

In fact, this is Zhou Ping's deliberate attempt to confuse the public, because his analysis cannot withstand scrutiny, so it can only be so.

However, for Zhou Ping's experience, everyone did not show any abnormality, after all, the vast majority of those who joined the Red Army were poor people, and naturally had all kinds of hardships, and the boss did not need to laugh at the second child.

After a period of gentle tapping and correction, soon, Zhou Ping handed a fish hook to Zhang Qingshan, and sighed deliberately with a little confidence: "Alas~! I haven't done this for a long time, it's a little imperfect, but it's still enough to use it." ”

If he showed off like this, everyone could understand that he was joking, but Zhang Qingshan handed him the second needle without saying a word: Don't you like to show off?

Zhou Ping didn't think much about it, and still talked about the past while tapping.

But it has to be said that although he is an apprentice in a blacksmith shop, the apprentice is also much stronger than a person who does not know this trade. In a few moments, all three hooks were ready.

Zhang Qingshan pinched the third fish hook in his hand, and then shot back viciously: "Lao Zhou, didn't I say you, didn't you just get three fish hooks? Do you show off so verbosely? To tell you the truth, if I wasn't too lazy to do it, otherwise, in your time, I would have made all ten fish hooks." Hmph, you haven't even become a master, you are a junior apprentice who was swept out of the house by the master halfway, and you still have your face to show off in front of me?"

After speaking, the girl ran away.

After the angry Zhou Ping paused for a moment, he stood up like thunder and pointed at Zhang Qingshan and roared: "Zhang Qingshan, you are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the kid will wait for me to see how Lao Tzu will clean you up in the future." ”

All that came back was Zhang Qingshan's unbridled laughter.

Qin Fang and Zhou Baoyu also rubbed the three dropped threads, and the three of them couldn't wait to pass the thread through the pinhole at the back end of the fishhook, and it was successful!

The three of them laughed happily, as if they would be able to eat fish in the next second. But laughing and laughing, the laughter of the three people turned tasteless, and in the end, the three of them stared at each other, and gradually, their faces became strange. In the end, Zhang Qingshan opened his mouth and asked, "Which of you has prepared bait?"

Seeing that the two foodies shook their heads at the same time, Zhang Qingshan ordered angrily: "Then what are you waiting for, why don't you go with me to dig earthworms as bait? It's going to be dark." ”

As if they had been stimulated, the three of them ran to a relatively humid place screaming...... Zhou Ping and the three of them looked at Zhang Qingshan and the three of them like children, playing happily, and they all smiled helplessly, which can be regarded as a rare leisure and happiness when everyone is busy with the road and chatting and resting.

Zhang Qingshan pulled out his bayonet and began to dig a pit, and Zhou Baoyu was also digging with a bayonet a meter away. But after digging more than a dozen times, seeing Qin Fang obediently squatting aside, churning the fishing line into a ball while watching, Zhang Qingshan glanced at her strangely and asked, "What are you doing squatting here?"

"I don't have a bayonet and I don't have a dagger, how can I dig?"

"You won't use your hands...... Never mind. "When there are tools, asking a nurse to dig by hand does make Zhang Qingshan a little speechless. Besides, she is a little girl anyway, and if she doesn't dig, she won't dig, and she won't worry about the little earthworm she digs.

"You go to Lao Zhou's side to look for it, and see if there are any longer branches or sticks, which can be used as fishing rods later. ”

"Good!"

After Qin Fang happily ran to find the fishing rod, Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Baoyu dug a pit like a competition.

But what is depressing is that they both dug more than a foot deep, and still haven't seen a single earthworm. He didn't believe in evil and dug a small pit half a meter deep, but still didn't see a single earthworm, Zhou Baoyu took the lead in giving up: "Big brother, in this ghost place, there is not even an earthworm, now, there is no bait, how can I fish?"

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Qingshan, who was about to wave his bayonet and continue digging, fell back like a deflated ball, panting, and said, "There will always be a way, but you have to let me take a breath first." ”

"How's it going? How many earthworms have you dug up?"

Hearing Qin Fang's expectant tone, Zhang Qingshan turned his head to look, but saw Qin Fang holding a few torches, looking at them with anticipation, and carefully searching their surroundings with his eyes, hoping to find a few earthworms somewhere, but the result was ......

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of me like this?

Zhou Baoyu looked back at her angrily: "Don't talk about it, this damn ghost place, there isn't even a single earthworm, do you say it's angry?"

"How can there be no earthworms in the field? I'll try. Qin Fang was also anxious, threw away the torch he was holding, ran to the edge of the deep pit and stretched out his hand to dig the soil. Zhang Qingshan hurriedly sat up and pulled her: "Okay, Xiaofang, don't try it, Baoyu and I have tried many times, no is no." ”

"Brother-in-law~!Now that there are other things, it's just bait, you have to think of a way!"

Looking at Qin Fang's anxious face, and then looking at Zhou Baoyu's lost face, Zhang Qingshan thought for a while and said, "That's it, Xiaofang, you go to Lao Zhou and ask for some shredded beef to see if it can work...... Dead horses should be live horse doctors!"

However, fishing is a work of skill and endurance, and you really can't have the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor!

The three of them took their equipment, tied two torches into one with strips of cloth, used them as fishing rods, and after some manipulation, threw the bait into the water, and then, with confidence, squatted by the puddle, staring at the clear water with unblinking eyes.

However, the fish did not give face to the three of them. In particular, I once saw a big fish weighing two or three pounds, swimming straight under the bait in the middle and touching it slightly. That's it, so that the eyes of the three of them are shining, their hearts are in their throats, holding their breath, afraid that even the slightest breathing sound will scare the big fish away, just wait for the big fish to swallow the bait, and the three of them will pull the rod to celebrate.

Unexpectedly, this big fish turned around gorgeously, flicked its tail, and swam away slowly.

The angry Qin Fang scolded this stupid and stupid fish for not being righteous and wasting everyone's energy...... She's better, just scolding.

But Zhou Baoyu on the side didn't treat the fish with the same kind of forbearance as when he treated Qin Fang, and angrily pulled out the grenade on his waist and twisted the lid, if Zhang Qingshan hadn't stopped it in time, he would definitely throw a grenade and go down to blow up the fish.

In the end, it was Zhou Ping who called them to eat, which made the anger of the three of them suppressed slightly.

That's it, the three of them are also very unhappy in their hearts, but they still have to look forward to it with the last hope. No, the three of them sat side by side with bowls in the direction of the three fishing rods. No one was in the mood to speak, and while eating in a muffled voice, his eyes were always staring at the fishing rod, hoping that a stupid fish and a blind cat would be hooked like a dead mouse.

Fishing is a test of patience.

Qin Fang obviously didn't have such patience.

The meal was finished, and not a single fish had been baited, and her patience was finally exhausted. After putting down the bowl and saying to Zhou Baoyu, "You come to wash", regardless of Zhou Baoyu's complaining eyes, he sat directly beside Zhang Qingshan, pouted, and whispered in great disappointment: "Brother-in-law, beef is not as delicious as fish, I want to eat fish." ”

Zhang Qingshan squinted at her and did not reply.

"Brother-in-law, if you can help me get a fish, I promise not to bully Baoyu in the future. And, I'll listen to you. And I'm not gluttonous......"

A lot of guarantees are enough to prove how deep Qin Fang's resentment towards fish is now, almost to the point of falling into a demon.

Zhang Qingshan turned his head to look at her, took a deep puff of cigarette, looked at the direction of the fishing gear, and still didn't make a sound.

"Brother-in-law~!"

Under this pleading, Zhang Qingshan turned his head to look at her again, didn't know what he thought, gritted his teeth, threw away the cigarette butt, and said, "You wait here, but don't tell others." He got up and walked towards the horse, and halfway pulled out the big knife stuck in the dirt and inserted it back into the scabbard on his back.

Immediately, he took out two torches and turned to look at everyone.

Zhou Ping saw that Qin Fang didn't know what to say to Zhang Qingshan, but when he saw Zhang Qingshan walking towards the horses with a gloomy face, he was a little worried. Then I saw Zhang Qingshan pull out two torches and look back.

The eyes of the two looked at each other, Zhang Qingshan smiled and nodded to Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Zhang Qingshan's eyes, he subconsciously glanced at Qin Fang with his head down, and turned back to Zhang Qingshan and nodded with a smile: Sometimes, people don't need to express themselves in words, one look is enough.

Zhang Qingshan held the torch, lit a cigarette, and walked to the fishing gear.

Others thought that he would put away his fishing gear and go fishing elsewhere, but only Zhou Ping understood: if it was really that simple, Zhang Qingshan's eyes just now would not be so gloomy, faintly revealing a bit of fortitude. And it was this kind of fortitude that expressed Zhang Qingshan's determination, so Zhou Ping didn't say a word. nodded, just to be careful.

Sure enough, Zhang Qingshan ignored the fishing gear, walked directly into the water meadow, and slowly walked into the distance.

"Lao Zhou, what is Lao Zhang going to do?"

Zhou Ping smiled at Peng Bing and said, "I don't know, but he seems to have something to do." ”

"You're an old partner with him, why don't you ask?"

"Lao Peng, how long have you been with Lao Wu?"

"From the time we joined the revolution, we were a platoon. ”

"If Lao Wu desperately wants to do something, which is difficult for others to say, but it is the right thing, what will you do?"

"If you don't say it, you naturally have to help ......" Before he finished speaking, Peng Bing understood. looked at Zhang Qingshan's back who was gradually moving away, then looked at Qin Fang, who had been sitting there with his head down, and finally looked at Zhou Ping, he nodded, although he was silent, but his eyes showed admiration.

Qin Fang finally understood that it was his constant persecution that made Zhang Qingshan take the risk. Now she regrets it very much, and even, she doesn't have the courage to turn around and face Zhou Baoyu and them, but she just can't open this mouth and make up her mind.

Watching Zhang Qingshan's figure gradually move away, she seemed to have suddenly figured out something, gritted her teeth, and mustered up the courage to stand up and run towards Zhang Qingshan: "Brother-in-law, wait for me...... Brother-in-law, wait for me, I'll go with you......"

"Stop her!"

Peng Bing immediately pointed at Qin Fang and shouted at Zhou Baoyu.

"Forget it, let her go, anyway, this place is not far from Lao Zhangna, she will catch up with the ......" Wu Shaohong, who had been touching her left ankle, suddenly stopped: "This girl is stubborn, if she is not allowed to go, I am afraid she will live in guilt for the rest of her life." ”

"It's too dangerous. Baoyu, bring a few more torches and ropes to catch up, and by the way, don't forget to bring some food. In the evening, I will plant torches here and show you the way until you return safely. ”

"Good!"
