The weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is already in the blink of an eye.

Maybe it's because it's too close to the Cangshan Mountain Range, as some older generations say, the snow in Cangshan is easily blown to Cangnan, so sometimes in Yuezhou, it will start to snow early.

Of course, this statement is certainly inaccurate, but in Yi Shuyuan's eyes, there is some truth.

The high peaks are naturally prone to snow, but in terms of geographical location, even in winter, the entire Cangshan Mountain is covered with snow and bitterly cold, which is obviously a little unreasonable.

And the winter cold of Cangshan flows into Cangnan, and it is naturally normal to bring some impact to Yuezhou.

It was cold but not enough to freeze the river, a small wooden boat set off from Xihe Village, slowly moving along the Xihe River, rowing Yi Yong'an, and with the boat also carried fishing gear, Yi Shuyuan and Shi Sheng, as well as Yi Abao.

Boats are also a more common way of travel for people in Xihe Village, of course, the place to go will be more limited, after all, you can only follow the river, so most of them go to the direction of the county wharf.

It was already cold, but it was still early for the river to freeze, and even at the coldest time, most of the river froze a small piece at the edge, and it broke with two knocks.

It was still very comfortable to ride the boat and move forward with a rock, but Yi Shuyuan's thoughts drifted far away, and he couldn't help but think of the past.

The thing that fell into the water in my memory seems to be yesterday, and it seems to have been a long, long time ago.

"Uncle, the West River and the Eshui River in front of you have converged, how about I lay a few nets there?"

Yi Yong'an's voice pulled Yi Shuyuan's thoughts back to reality, and he raised his eyes to look into the distance, the surface of the Ejiang River was not far away.

"Whatever you want."

"Hehe, uncle, don't worry, there are a few fish nests over there, and you will be able to catch fish!"

Yi Abao, who was close to the bow of the boat, grinned, he still had a clear understanding of his father's technical strength, but unfortunately his father did not have a clear self-awareness.

Yi Abao looked at the head of the bed, Shi Sheng was lying there, one hand stretched out to the water, because the bow of the boat was slightly cocked, Shi Sheng could just touch the water with his fingertips.

"Shi Sheng, what are you doing, your hands are not cold?"

"It's not cool!"

Shi Sheng replied, still looking at the water splashing, which also made Bao turn sideways to see the water touched by Shi Sheng's fingers.

When I looked at it, I found that there seemed to be a few shadows in the water following the bottom of the boat.

"Huh? Fish following? ”

Shi Sheng glanced back at Yi Abao.

"yes, that's a lot!"

"What? Lots of fish? ”

Yi Yong'an, who was at the stern of the boat, instantly became energetic, and turned to the side to hold the side of the boat to look, the water was a little fat, and he couldn't see how deep, so he lay low, making the boat a little unstable, and began to sway.

"Oops, good rowing!"

Yi Shuyuan spoke, Yi Yongan was honest in an instant, and hurriedly grabbed the oars, lest the boat spin.

"It's such a big person, and everyone else is a grandfather!"

As soon as he heard Yi Shuyuan say this, Yi Abao knew that he was going to suffer, and sure enough, Yi Yongan immediately brought the topic to his son.

"Uncle, what you said is yes, I will be a grandfather in other people's homes, Ah Bao is also a big boss, we don't have the luxury of being famous, this matter of marrying a wife can't be delayed, there are many people who come to our house to talk about matchmaking."

It took a while for Yi Abao to carry this firepower, because the estuary arrived, and Yi Yongan began to prepare to cast a net.

Shi Sheng hurriedly whispered into the water.

"Hurry up, run quickly~~~"

In an instant, there was a "bang" at the bottom of the water, and all the big and small fish ran clean.

Yi Abao heard Shi Sheng's low shout, looked at the water surface but couldn't see anything, and Yi Yong'an behind him had already begun to lift the pole net.

"Alas, uncle, you see, there are fish in this place, and you can't catch a net in the village because of bad luck, plus the weather turns cold, the water temperature drops, and there is less bait, so the fish and shrimp naturally don't like to move, and it's different here."

The pole net is two long bamboo poles tied to the net, the bamboo pole with the net in the water can catch fish a few times, theoretically like a large net pocket, looking at Yi Yong'an's skillful appearance, it is obvious that this thing is not used.

One, two, three.

The boat also changed several positions, but under Yi Yong'an's operation, except for some sundries such as aquatic plants and dead branches, there was not even a piece of fish scales on the net, which made Yi Yongan very depressed.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to send his son and Shi Sheng to take a boat on the county wharf today, Yi Yong'an, who couldn't make a net, had to throw two poles to try fishing.

Yi Shuyuan watched the whole time, but he just didn't speak, the people on the boat got out of the net, the fish under the boat hid very neatly, and Shi Sheng laughed happily on the side.

As the boat continued to move forward, Yi Abao approached Shi Sheng, who was lying on the bow of the boat, and said in a low voice.

"Alas, Shi Sheng, the fish are following again, right?"

"Well, it's followed again."

"Oh, why is this fish following our boat?"

Shi Sheng glanced at Yi Abao, and did not directly answer why, but opened his mouth and said in a low voice.

"Brother Bao, they're from far away!"

"How far is that?"

"From the waters of Kaiyang, swim all the way here, can it not be far?"

"Oh"

Yi Abao just nodded, but he didn't react to what Shi Sheng was referring to, so he kept thinking about this sentence in his heart, until the boat moved forward for a while and suddenly reacted.

Kaiyang waters, does it mean the Grand Canal?

To tell the truth, in the entire Yi family, Yi Abao is more curious about his grandfather Yi Shuyuan, and even after experiencing some things, he also feels that his grandfather has some mysterious colors.

But hearing Shi Sheng say this, Yi Abao still felt a little ridiculous.

"Grandpa, can the Kaiyang Grand Canal be connected to get here?"

Hearing Yi Abao's words, Yi Shuyuan, who was playing with a fan, replied with a smile.

"Nature is passable, but from the Kaiyang waters to the Eshui, and then into the West River, you need to go through many water systems, around many bends, the distance is relatively long."

As he spoke, Yi Shuyuan also looked into the distance.

The distance between Xihe Village and Yuanjiang County is not exaggerated, out of the Xihe River into the Eshui, it doesn't take long to see the county wharf, at this moment looking at the direction of the bow of the boat, you can already see the big boats at the county wharf.

Among them, there is a ship with a special silhouette, which belongs to the kind of building ship that is quite different from the general cargo ship.

In the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of Yi Shuyuan, the number of qi on the big ship is even more extraordinary, obviously it is not ordinary people who take the boat.

There is a big boat going to Yuezhou at the county wharf, Yi Abao and Shi Sheng will get on the boat in the afternoon, Ah Bao will go back to the academy, and Shi Sheng will go to the shop of the Mojia Chamber of Commerce in Yuezhou, and then go back to Mingzhou directly, at least on the surface, Shi Sheng will go home on the hot wheel.

After lunch in the city, Bao and Shi Sheng were ready to board the ship.

Before getting on the boat, Yi Yongan repeatedly told his son at the dock.

"Take care of Shi Sheng, when you get to Yuezhou, you have to watch Shi Sheng enter the shop, and you have to confirm that he is from the Mo family's trading house!"

"Well, Dad, Uncle, don't worry!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled and didn't speak, what did he have to worry about.

"Master, do you want to go back to Mingzhou with me for the New Year, my father and mother will always talk about you!"

"Alas, this can't be done, uncle hasn't been at home for the New Year for a long time, or Xiao Shisheng will celebrate the New Year in Yuanjiang County, right?"

"That's not going to work, I'm going home to see my sister!"

"Hahahaha, the boat is about to leave, let's go up first"

Po laughed on the side, and finally took Shi Sheng on the boat.

The big boat soon opened, and seeing the dock getting farther and farther away, Ah Bao on the side of the boat subconsciously looked down at the water surface of the boat, which made Shi Sheng laugh.

"Don't look at it, you didn't follow!"

Of course, Shi Sheng knew what Ah Bao was looking at, but Ah Bao wanted to ask more, but he didn't say much.

——

At the county wharf, Yi Yongan and Yi Shuyuan put some things they bought in the city into the boat, rowed again and prepared to go home.

"Uncle, the water temperature must be too low in the morning, the sun has been basking for a day, the water temperature has risen, I will go there to lay a few nets, or you will wait a little longer, how about I catch a few rods?"

Yi Shuyuan was not impatient, but showed some interest.

"Well, give me a pole too, and let's fish together for a while?"

"Huh? That's great! ”

When Yi Yongan heard this, the whole person became excited, and the rowing became more energetic, and the boat was rushing forward.

This time, the boat stopped and tied up on the shore at the confluence of the West River and the Eshui River, and the uncle and nephew threw the poles into the water at both ends of the boat, and it didn't take long for Yi Shuyuan to take the bait.

Yi Yongan's eyes glanced around, his float didn't look enough, and he kept staring at Yi Shuyuan's float, and when he saw the float being dragged away, he immediately became excited.

"Alas, uncle, uncle, the fish has bitten-"

"Oh!"

Yi Shuyuan lifted the rod, and the bamboo pole was bent into a half moon in an instant, and not long after the fish, a fat head as long as half an arm was fished, which surprised Yi Yong'an.

"Oops, I took the bait too! Phew, I've got a fish on the hook too! ”

As Yi Yong'an's fishing rod bent, his excitement more than doubled.

"Hahahaha, I'm also a big fish-"

When the uncle and nephew were fishing at the mouth of the river, a carriage from Yuanjiang County had already arrived in Xihe Village, and there were four riders traveling with the car, showing four corners to guard the carriage in the center.

There were also a few people sitting in the car, one was a noble young man, and the other turned out to be the current Yuanjiang County Order.

"Your Highness, Xihe Village has arrived, I'll ask for directions."

Someone heard outside.

"Okay, be careful not to be too aggressive!"

"Yes!"

Even if the people inside couldn't see it, the people outside subconsciously gave up their hands when they replied, and then rode their horses to take the lead.

Naturally, someone at the head of the village noticed the carriage and horses, and there was some reason for seeing this posture.

The rider rode close to a house at the head of the village and asked the people who were watching the excitement.

"Is there a family in the village? If so, where do you live? ”

"Oh, the Yi family, follow the road all the way in, the biggest mansion at the end is the Yi family, it's easy to find, uh, who are you?"

The rider smiled and thanked him.

"Thank you, we are here from the county seat with the county lord!"

"Oops! Lord Prefectural? ”

The villagers were shocked, it was the sky of Yuanjiang County!

When the carriage and horses passed, the people of the nearby villages quickly started to talk about it, believing that as soon as they passed through the "village head intelligence center" at dinner, the whole village would know that the county lord had come here for a long time.
