Chapter 225: Picking Up the Relic
You're welcome! The businessman said, and was about to leave, Pei Yan asked again, so what kind of fish man will become smart if he eats it? Businessmen say that it is good to eat fish in wild rivers, lakes, and wild ponds, because wild fish are natural and nutritious, and people will be smart when they eat them. Pei Yan said "oh" and nodded gratefully to the businessman.
Pei Yan returned home and put the bighead carp head mixed with radish slices in the pot and simmered, and when he ate at noon, Hong Fafu tilted his head to eat it and ate it with relish.
He saw that Pei Yan didn't eat much, so he said, you eat more, I hope you become smarter. Pei Yan smiled indifferently, didn't speak, and tilted her head to the side, saying that if you eat this kind of fish, you will not only become less intelligent, but also become stupid.
Hong Fafu said, where is your theory? Pei Yan repeated what the businessman had told him one by one, Hong Fafu listened to it, felt that it made sense, and immediately felt unappetizing, and didn't want to eat, so he spit out the fish that was chewing in his mouth and had not yet swallowed it on the table, and put down the chopsticks, looked at Pei Yan and said, then you don't buy this kind of fish in the future, but buy natural wild fish to eat.
Pei Yan said, where are the natural wild fish? When it comes to buying fish in the vegetable market, I can't tell the difference between natural wild fish and fish that have eaten feed, and there is no writing on the face of the fish, how do I know?
Hong Fafu feels like that, even if the fishmonger shouts that his fish is a natural wild fish, can you believe it? He thought so, no matter what he dared to love, as long as he went to the vegetable market to buy fish, it was easy to be fooled. But as soon as he blinked his eyes, he suddenly came up with a solution, and said to Pei Yan, you should do this, you will not go to the vegetable market to buy fish in the future, and if you see those who fish in the wild river, you will buy it, it must be natural wild fish.
A few days later, Pei Yan didn't buy that kind of wild fish, but Hong Fafu did, but he was unhappy and felt a loss. When I came out of the grocery store, I saw a man carrying a long fishing rod and a string of fish in his hand, most of them were crucian carp with black backs and white scales, each one was not big or small, about a chopstick long, and some of them were slightly waving their tails, all of which were fresh.
This kind of crucian carp is bought in the vegetable market, about 10 yuan a catty, Hong Fafu wants to find this fisherman to buy, but he shouts that the price is 24 yuan a catty, which is too expensive, but you are too expensive, and people don't sell it! This wild fish is not only nutritious, but also has a faint sweetness in the mouth. Helpless, Hong Fafu, who hadn't eaten fish for a few days and wanted to eat fish, gritted his teeth and bought a pound at this price. After paying the money, I still counted down a sentence, it was too expensive to eat.
If you think it's expensive, it's better for you to go to the wild lake to catch this wild fish by yourself, then you don't need to pay a penny, you only need a fishing rod, prepare some bait, and the cost is not big.
Hong Fafu remembered the words of the angler, and really wanted to make a long fishing rod by himself, and also went to the wild lake from time to time to fish. He held this thought in his heart for three days, and on the fourth day, he confessed to his wife Pei Yan, saying that he was going to cut a few long poles and bamboo on the high mountains north of the village to make fishing tackle.
Pei Yan said, do you want to cut a few bamboos? It is enough to cut one. Hong Fafu said, cut a few more for later use! Pei Yan raised her eyes, and suddenly saw a mouse latching on a shrimp that she used to cook and leaked on the ground and slipped into the door, and in the blink of an eye, the mouse was gone, witnessing this scene, she somehow thought it was a bad omen, so she stopped Hong Fafu and said Do you see it? A rat just got through the door and disappeared, so you'd better not go up the hill to cut bamboo.
Why? Hong Fafu asked her. She couldn't give a bad reason from the matter of the rat and the shrimp, so she turned around and said, there is fishing tackle in the fishing tackle shop in the city to buy fishing tackle, why eat so much and go to the mountains to cut bamboo?
Hong Fafu had already held the machete in his hand and was wearing a pair of white canvas gloves. He said that I went to the mountains to select the materials used as fishing tackle, and I didn't believe that I bought them in the city, although the fishing tackle sold in the tackle shop may have been painted or something, and the appearance is better, but it may not necessarily be used, it may be a silver-like wax gun head, and it will break down after a few uses.
If you think so, then go up the mountain and cut it! But you must be careful, you must be careful when you go over mountains and mountains, drill forests and streams, and don't fall anywhere. When Pei Yan said this, Hong Fafu had already put on his door.
He wore a half-new black jacket today, which was more resistant to tearing through the thorns in the mountains. Pei Yan sent him out and told him, you have to go home early! Hong Fafu said that he knew, and walked away happily without looking back.
At the second watch that night, Pei Yan didn't see Hong Fafu go home, so she went to her mother-in-law's house to look for it, but Hong Fafu was not seen. The mother-in-law was also very anxious when she heard that her son had not returned from the mountain to cut bamboo, and she found her wife from the pig farm, Hong Fafu's father, Boss Hong, and told her about the situation.
Boss Hong was not in a hurry at first, saying that it was possible for such a big person as Hong Fafu to go out to do things? Maybe he'll be back later.
But when his son didn't come back at midnight, he asked the driver to drive to the town and knocked on the door of his grocery store, and asked Xiao Yang, the guy who was guarding the store, that Hong Fafu had not come.
Boss Hong was really anxious, asked the driver to drive the car back to the village, and shouted around the village road, the neighbors did me a favor, my son Fa Fu went up the mountain to cut bamboo today and has not returned until now, I am worried that something is wrong, I want to ask you to suffer a little loss and get up with me to go up the mountain to help find someone.
Shout this many times. In a few moments, many men got up with their clothes on, and some went out with torches. Then gathered at the entrance of the village, a total of more than 20 people.
The village chief Hong Youde also rushed to hear the news, and he divided the eight villagers who gathered into one group, and organized them into four groups, A, B, C, D, and looked for them in different directions from the east, west, south and north of the mountain range behind the village.
Boss Hong's family was dispatched, he followed Group A, his wife followed Group B, Pei Yan followed Group C, only Group D did not have Hong Fafu's relatives, led by Hong Youde, the village chief. The four groups played torches and flashlights in different directions of the mountain, crossed the forest and streams, looked for holes and drilled holes, and shouted Hong Fafu while looking for them, only the echo of the empty valley, but there was no shadow of Hong Fafu.
At about four o'clock, Group A, which entered the mountain from the east, found blood stains on the edge of a mountain spring, and then found a bloody white canvas glove that fell on the mountain road, and after a few steps, there was another one, still soaked in blood, and as soon as he fell into his eyes, Boss Hong recognized that this glove was Hong Fafu's.
He picked them up one after another and said that I bought these gloves for my son last year with the money from the sale of pigs. As he spoke, he looked at the factory model mark on one of the gloves with his flashlight, and continued, "It's a medium-sized glove."
Everyone gathered around to watch, and the mood was heavy and silent. Boss Hong said that there are tigers hidden in the dense forests of the mountains, and my son is likely to be attacked by the big insects.
Groups B and C, who entered the mountain from the south and west, found a machete, a few slender bamboos, and a bloody half-amputated thigh, respectively, and a shoe on their feet had not yet fallen.
The wife in Group B recognized that the machete belonged to her family, and when she picked it up, her expression became more and more sad, and then she kept crying, "Son, where have you been, what a sin!"
Pei Yan, who was in Group C, recognized the tourist shoes as soon as she saw them, the uppers were all white, and she had often brushed them. At this moment, she hugged the half-amputated thigh with her feet and let out a sad sound, crying incessantly, and said in her mouth, Wow, get rich! If you don't listen to me, I will stop you when you go out, and I saw a mouse take a shrimp and thought it was a bad omen, so I stopped you. You didn't listen, you didn't listen, and you suffered this misfortune.
At that moment, some people whispered, why is it a bad omen for a mouse to bite shrimp? Some people took it for granted and replied in a low voice, it is conceivable that the mouse is a homonym for the tiger, and the shrimp is a scary homonym, plus there is a "title" in it, doesn't it mean that the tiger is a person who is intimidated? Isn't that a bad omen, what is it? Everyone listened and fell silent.
