Chapter 5 Caught a Fish
Rumbling......
The sound of thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth, and then the wind blew, and then I woke up, how could I not wake up, my bed was wet.
I thought I was drawing a map on the bed, which was too embarrassing, but later I found out that the roof was leaking, and somehow I was a little glad in my heart.
But right now, this house has to be repaired, but it's raining so much, wait, those bait!
"It's over"
I slapped the door of my head, and the room was probably leaking, what should I do, continue to sleep, there is no place to sleep at the moment, so I can only go out.
kicked open the door of the firewood room, good guy, Li Yimao actually slept very soundly, this firewood room actually didn't leak, I wondered if the firewood room didn't leak.
"Thunder can't even be moved, it's amazing".
I slapped him in the face, otherwise he wouldn't wake up.
"What are you doing!"
He woke up and was slapped for no reason, and his heart was indeed very uncomfortable.
"It's raining, our bait"
Li Yimao suddenly realized this, and he had no choice but to brave the rain to go, even if there was still a 1 in 10,000 chance.
When we came to Qin Xueyao's house in the rain, the father and daughter had already placed their things, and the stones in their hearts had also fallen.
"Thank you"
Li Yimao bowed directly and gave his hand, but I was indeed grateful in my heart.
"Although the bait was saved, my medicine field was finished."
Doctor Qin looked lost, this medicine field was a heart's blood for him, and it was all washed away by the rain.
"Why is it raining so hard all of a sudden, it's raining here, it's more like a flood", I also felt that the situation was a little serious for a while.
"Not really, do you know that the topography of this fishing village will never be flooded unless the sea rises, but when have you ever seen the sea rise?"
Qin Xueyao looked very indifferent, the medicine field was ruined, as long as the person was fine, it would be fine.
Even so, her parents don't go out to sea to fish, and they rely on this medical treatment to survive on weekdays, and this medicine field is gone, and the main livelihood is gone.
"What can I do after that?"
I was also powerless, I deeply felt my insignificance, and I wanted to help, but I still needed the help of others.
"Continue to be bait, what else can you do", Qin Xueyao took a deep breath, but still smiled.
This is our life, and simple may be the best, but is it really just to live?
Maybe it's just for a simple smile.
But the weather is unpredictable, and this peaceful little fishing village may not be so peaceful, this is my gut feeling, and my intuition tells me that something must happen.
"It's going to rain for a long time, let's go to the house and hide", Doctor Qin also became relieved.
This night, perhaps the longest night, was so loud that it was impossible to sleep.
"Will the bait of tomorrow be sold?"
This Li Yimao's mind is really all on the bait.
"I said Brother Yimao, do you want to go back?".
Li Yimao and I slept in the hall, so I asked him.
"Can't go back"
Li Yimao replied very seriously.
"Oh? I want to hear it", there is definitely a story here, and I wonder if he will tell his story.
"I don't know, I can't remember," Li Yimao replied.
"Do you want to leave, then?" , I continued to ask reluctantly.
"I don't know why I'm here, but my heart tells me I have to stay, and I have to remember".
Li Yimao's words were very sincere, and he didn't feel like he was lying.
"Anyway, let's sell the bait first, but looking at this bad weather, tomorrow is not suitable for going to sea, and it is estimated that no one will buy it."
I can already see what is going to happen tomorrow.
The next day, the rain had passed and the sky was clear.
But sure enough, almost no one went to sea, repairing the houses, cleaning the houses, and the rain damaged the houses, and even washed away some vegetable gardens. Of course, many people have already put away their dried fish, after all, this is the most important ration.
"It seems that I'm busy again, Brother Yimao, let's find another way", looking at these baits are useless today.
"Why don't you go to the river, go fishing today, maybe you will get a catch."
I suddenly had a sense of excitement, these people are busy with their own business, maybe those old people don't have time to go out fishing.
"It's okay"
Li Yimao naturally agreed.
I guessed that there was no one on the river, and besides, it had just rained, and the soil was fresh, and the fish in the river couldn't wait to take the bait.
"How can a fisherman go out without a fishing rod," I pulled out an iron rod from the waistband of my trousers.
"This is a high-end 'two-foot long fishing rod' produced by Wang Ergou's father Wang Blacksmith, which I designed for him."
I'm proud to say.
"Can this be fished?"
Li Yimao was very skeptical.
"Of course I can, I'll see it."
As I spoke, I pulled another section out of it, and two feet became four feet, and you thought this was the end, and there was still a thin section in it.
"It's worthy of you", Li Yimao gave a thumbs up.
"Hey, get some bait, go you".
The bait finally came in handy.
Looking along the fishing line, the fish were attracted one after another, this bait is really easy to use, it is worthy of Qin Xueyao's exclusive secret recipe, this bait is very good for the fish.
"Hurry up and bite the hook", I was so anxious that I only shook my feet.
The bait is eaten, but it doesn't bite the hook, and the fish here won't all become fine.
"Why don't I try it, you can take a break", Li Yimao proposed.
"No need to rest, I'm going to have to catch it", and I was already on the hook with them.
"Okay then." , Li Yimao looked disappointed.
The sunlight was particularly dazzling, and my eyelids, who had been staring at the water, were fighting, and sleepy insects were flooded.
"I didn't sleep last night."
Is it my auditory hallucination, how do I hear Xiao Nizi's voice?
My ears suddenly hurt, and I realized that it was really my sister who came.
"Okay, you don't go home at night, you don't repair the house, you doze off here", she said with her hands on her waist, puffing out.
"Aren't I fishing, the bait can't be sold, and I don't necessarily get a catch here," I quickly explained.
"I heard that you slept at Qin Xueyao's house last night", Xiao Nizi whispered to my ear.
"You know this, is it Erzhu who said it again", I guessed that it was Lin Erzhu, who pestered my sister every day.
"It's not what he said, it's what I guessed."
Xiao Nizi looked proud.
"It's not what you think, Brother Yimao is also here, but how did you know that I was by the river?"
We passed by the door of the Erzhuzi house when we came, so I'm sure the Erzhuzi definitely saw it.
"The fishing village is so big, if you don't watch the scenery on the edge of the cliff, you will go to Qin Xueyao's house to wander."
Xiao Nizi finally told the truth, it seems that Qin Xueyao told her.
"Fish! Ran again"
The rod is empty again, and it seems that I really have no talent for fishing.
"Brother Yimao, you can try it", I have lost patience.
Li Yimao was very excited when he heard this, picked up the fishing rod in a good way, and then added bait and threw the rod, and after a set of flowing operations, he stared at the water surface quietly.
"Yes, connoisseur", I really didn't expect this guy to be a master of fishing.
I saw that the fish was about to bite the hook, so he quickly started the rod, and I secretly said that it was not good, and I got up early. But I didn't expect to catch it.
"Beautiful!"
I can't help but admire Brother Yimao, this is the first fish caught today.
"Next"
He threw the fish straight over, and I happily reached for it.
Why is this fish so slippery, poof, the fish in my hand slipped away, and I saw that it had fallen to the ground, and was struggling to get back into the river.
"I want to run, but there is no way"
How could I just let it go, I was going to fight it for three hundred rounds, and I immediately pounced on it, clung to it, and consumed it alive in this way.
"Sample, fight with me"
I threw it in the bamboo building, and it crackled and tossed a few times before it ran out of gas.
"I'm sorry Brother Dao, I shouldn't have thrown it."
Li Yimao's words were a little weird, and he felt like he was holding back a smile.
"You're laughing at me!" , good guy actually dares to underestimate me.
"No, no, it's really my fault, hahahaha", Li Yimao laughed directly.
"Stupid"
Even Xiao Nizi laughed.
……
In this way, one by one the fish were caught, a full twenty or so, which can be regarded as a bumper harvest day. Of course, half of it is my credit, because the rod is mine.
Those half-sized ones were put back, otherwise it would be a violation of the rules of the fishing village, after all, people can grow longer, what a pity to eat.
"Fishing is actually a kind of enjoyment," Li Yimao smiled.
"Eating fish is enjoyment, braised and steamed, and braised in yellow", Xiao Nizi is full of little stars.
"Continue to enjoy, catch another twenty fish, and pay off the debt"
I didn't deliberately pour cold water on them, the matter in front of me hasn't been resolved yet.
"That's right", Li Yimao began to get serious again.
But I can't figure it out, why is this Li Yimao so serious and accepts this, and he doesn't think he is an outsider at all.
Although I don't mind and would like him to get used to it and be friends with him, it always feels weird, and it feels a little deliberate when it's too natural.
But then again, in times of peace, there is a harvest today, but there may not be tomorrow, and opportunities are not available every day.
"You keep fishing, I'm going back to help cook."
After saying that, Xiao Nizi ran away.
Almost a morning had passed, and it was indeed almost time for dinner.
"Are you hungry?" , I asked Li Yimao.
"Not hungry", Li Yimao continued to look at the fish hook seriously.
"People are iron rice and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry, or you will grill a fish to eat", I was really hungry.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat", Li Yimao glanced at the fish in the bamboo basket.
I picked up a fish, expertly cleaned it, and finally found some firewood to set up a fire.
Firewood is everywhere, but where to find this fire, this does not bother me, directly turn the wood to start the fire, and it took a lot of effort to finally light the fire.
"Your way of making a fire is very special", Li Yimao's eyes were full of incredulity.
"Yes, don't primitive people do this",
I don't think I need to explain much about this common sense.
"Who is the primitive person, it sounds very powerful", Li Yimao was puzzled.
"Huh? Primitive people have never heard of it", how should I explain it, forget it, choose to be silent.
When the fish is grilled, the fragrant smell is irresistible, and sprinkled with my exclusive secret ingredient "five-spice powder", it is really delicious.
"It's so fragrant", Li Yimao was attracted by the fragrance.
"How about one?" I fanned the heat off the grilled fish.
"Then ...... Let's bake another one", Li Yimao gritted his teeth fiercely.
Finally, Li Yimao was still impressed by my craftsmanship.
"Brother, I'm bringing you food."
In the same place, Xiao Nizi came over with a basket, and she looked happy.
“……”
She saw the grilled fish in her hand, and she turned around to go back.
"Wait a minute, I'll see what makes it delicious."
I was still cheeky enough to follow and take a look.
It's steamed fish fillet again, and I'm tired of eating it, so let's eat grilled fish, but after thinking about it, I opened it, and finally took it out.
"I love steamed fish fillets," I said with a smile.
"Then eat more, the steamed fish fillet I made tastes much better than your grilled fish," Xiao Nizi said proudly.
"Yes, yes, Brother Yimao will also try it", I handed it directly to Li Yimao.
Li Yimao was so happy, but Xiao Nizi glared at me fiercely, and I only pretended not to see it.
Gradually, those old people also came to fish, and the business was robbed again, and finally had to call it a day.
The final trophy was thirty-six fish, and one hundred and twenty-four were still short of paying off the debt, and it seemed that the task was still very difficult.
Qin Xueyao happily took the fish, and then invited us to a big meal, her craftsmanship is not better than Xiao Nizi.
Of course, it's not that our Nizi's craftsmanship is bad, it's just that there is less heat.
