"Sister, we're almost there, listen, there's the sound of water ahead!"
A crisp sound abruptly sounded in the dense woods, mixed with excitement and accompanied by the rustle of leaves.
"Ming, be quiet, don't forget that the village chief's grandfather will not allow us to come in this direction. ”
"Oh, sister, they're all busy, how can they find us?"
In the dense forest, two figures cautiously drilled out, the first to poke out of the head is a teenager, the boy looks no more than eight or nine years old, born tiger head and tiger brain, quite cute, a pair of big eyes from time to time showing a sly smile, because just through the dense forest, a short brown hair looks a little scattered.
Then there was a girl, who looked a few years older than the boy, I don't know if it was because of malnutrition, the girl looked a little thin, although the appearance was ordinary, but quite delicate, giving people a feeling of a sister next door.
The boy and the girl are both Mai, the boy is called Jiang Yiming, and the girl is called Jiang Xue, and they are two children adopted by the head of the nearby Jiang Village a few years ago.
Out of the dense forest is a quiet path paved with neat stones, and this road is the only road leading to the riverside in Jiang Village.
"Sister, there should be a riverside not far away, right? Let's hurry up. Patriarch's grandfather's illness can't be delayed, we must find astragalus fish to treat patriarch's grandfather!"
Jiang Yiming pulled Jiang Yixue's sleeve and urged, with a faint hint of excitement on his red face.
"You little slippery head. ”
Jiang Xue rubbed Jiang Yiming's chicken-like hair, her eyes were full of doting, and then she took Jiang Yiming's little hand and walked forward along the stone road, and the sound of water could already be heard in the distance.
A quarter of an hour later, a large river appeared in front of them.
The river is dozens of feet wide, and the length of the river is unknown. Looking into the distance, you can faintly see the shadow of a mountain peak. Looking at the peak, Jiang Xue's eyes showed a trace of confusion, the source of this riverside comes from that mountain, and it is said that the mountain is the highest peak within hundreds of miles of this house. There are all kinds of magical beasts and fierce beasts living on it. Extremely dangerous. Of course, this is just a legend, as far as Jiang Xue knows. No one in the huge Jiang Village has the ability to climb that mountain, and the name of that mountain is a little strange, called Chang Hate Peak.
"Sister......
The weak voice interrupted Jiang Yixue's thoughts, and when she came back to her senses, Jiang Xue lowered her head and looked at Jiang Yiming's slightly pale little face, and said slightly: "Yiming, what's wrong?"
"Sister...... Can we really catch astragalus fish here, I remember that the village chief's grandfather said that the number of astragalus fish is too scarce, even the uncles in the village have never caught this kind of fish, and the astragalus fish seems to be a kind of magical beast, can we really catch it with our strength?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xue was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yiming, we will definitely be able to, this time my sister has brought a secret recipe for fishing!"
"Oh, what's the secret ingredient?"
Jiang Yiming's eyes suddenly lit up, Jiang Yiming still knew his sister very well.
"What do you think this is?"
Jiang Xue smiled, then groped around her waist for a while, spread out her hand, and saw a ball of things similar to handkerchiefs stacked neatly, Jiang Xue spread out the "handkerchief", and suddenly a fishing net made of unknown silk threads appeared.
The nets were all open, and they were three zhang wide, and the three zhang wide nets were only the size of a handkerchief when stacked, and anyone would sigh when they saw them.
"This ...... Is this the silver wire produced in the village?"
Jiang Yiming's eyes widened, and his little face was full of incredulity.
"That's right, it's a fishing net made of silver wire. ”
Jiang Xue smiled and nodded.
"Oh my God, sister, it must take a lot of time for such a big network, right?"
Jiang Yiming glared, his gaze swept to Jiang Xue's hand, and he suddenly found several clear blood marks.
Sensing Jiang Yiming's gaze, Jiang Xue hurriedly withdrew her hand, but such a concealed appearance made a few tears slip through the corners of Jiang Yiming's eyes.
"Sister. ”
Tears welled up in Jiang Yiming's eyes, and I saw this small young man holding Jiang Xue in his arms and crying bitterly.
"Yiming, sister is fine, don't cry. ”
Jiang Xue comforted herself, but she also cried, it took a lot of time to compile this fishing net, only she knew it, but it was okay if it was not comforting, Jiang Yiming cried even more when she was comforted.
"Yiming, don't cry, let's hurry up and catch fish. ”
When Jiang Xue said this, Jiang Yiming's crying stopped, wiped the tears on his face, and Jiang Yiming nodded resolutely.
The siblings began to get busy, because the river was too fast, in order to ensure safety, the siblings tied a section of the fishing net to a wooden pier on the bank, and some people in Jiang Village came to fish on weekdays, in order to avoid being carried into the water by the turbulent river.
After Jiang Yiming fixed a section, he nodded with satisfaction as he looked at his masterpiece, and looked up, only to see Jiang Yixue smearing some turquoise slurry on the fishing net.
"Sister, what is this?"
"This is the juice of rain and dew grass and dogwood, and I also occasionally learned that this juice can attract demonic beasts, and it depends on whether it can catch the astragalus fish. ”
Jiang Xue explained with a smile.
"Wow, sister, you know so much. ”
As they spoke, the entire fishing net was already coated with this juice, and the two siblings immediately worked together and threw the net into the water.
"We just have to be patient. ”
After saying that, the sister and brother sat down on the shore and waited quietly, for fear of disturbing the fish.
Fishing is boring, especially if you catch this extremely rare fish, very quickly. Jiang Yiming lost the novelty of the beginning, tasteless, almost drowsy, while Jiang Xue stared at the fishing net motionlessly.
I don't know how long it took.
A gray shadow suddenly rises from the surface of the rushing river, then sinks, resurfaces, and sinks again......
Such a strange scene naturally attracted Jiang Xue's attention, and when he looked closely, Jiang Xue's complexion changed slightly, and he could see it clearly. That's not coming out of the water, it should be a person!
But who would be on this riverside? Is it alive?
Just when Jiang Xue was stunned for a short time, the gray shadow on the river hit the fishing net cast by the sister and brother impartially.
Squeak......
The raging river rushed by, and the silk threads tied to the stakes were instantly straightened, and a snarling sound sounded. Jiang Yiming, who was almost asleep, heard the voice. A wit came to his senses. Looking at the straightened fishing net, he excitedly shouted: "Sister, have we caught an astragalus fish? It looks so heavy, it must not be an ordinary fish!"
Jiang Xue was stunned. As soon as he grabbed the fishing net, he wanted to drag it on the shore, and while dragging it, he said urgently: "Quick, Yiming, help save people!"
"Save people, save what ......"
Jiang Yiming subconsciously swept across the river, and when he saw that there was indeed a person in the fishing net, he stopped halfway through his words, and hurriedly helped Jiang Xue drag the fishing net together.
The weight of one person and the rushing river made the sisters and brothers use all their strength, and the fishing net finally has a tendency to reach the shore.
"Sister, look, what is that?!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yiming pointed in one direction, and in a piece of river water, a shadow flashing with pale yellow light was rushing towards the direction of the fishing net.
"That's ...... Astragalus fish?"
When she saw the shadow clearly, Jiang Xue's eyes lit up, but she quickly thought of something, turned around and shouted urgently: "Yiming, hurry up and pull the fishing net up!"
"But the astragalus fish ......"
Jiang Yiming was obviously a little hesitant.
"What are you hesitating about? If you wait for the astragalus fish to crash into the fishing net, then the people in the fishing net will not survive even if they have ten lives, and the fish can be caught again if they are lost, but there is only one human life!
Jiang Xue shouted angrily, while dragging the fishing net with all her strength.
Seeing this, Jiang Yiming gritted his teeth and chose to listen to Jiang Xue's words, the sisters and brothers worked together, and the fishing net was finally dragged to the shore, and the astragalus fish just brushed the edge of the fishing net and continued to rush forward, almost crashing into the fishing net.
At this moment, the figure in the fishing net reached deep without warning, grabbed the astragalus fish that wanted to escape, and the power exploded, and the light on the astragalus fish's forehead flickered, and it dimmed forever.
"This ......"
The sudden scene stunned both the siblings, came back to their senses, and hurriedly dragged the fishing nets ashore.
"Sister, look, astragalus fish!"
Jiang Yiming looked at the pale yellow fish that was nearly a meter long and exclaimed in surprise.
However, Jiang Xue's gaze always fell on the figure in the fishing net.
It was a teenager.
The long silver-gray hair, but with a touch of purple at the ends, the young face, the most striking thing is that there is a touch of lilac at the center of the young man's eyebrows.
Judging by that furrowed brow, the boy seemed to be having a nightmare.
"Sister...... His hair is curious. ”
Jiang Yiming looked at the young man's long silver-gray hair with interest, because he caught the astragalus fish made him feel very happy.
Jiang Xue didn't respond, but fell on the young man's hand, in his hand, he was holding the astragalus fish, I don't know if it was because of too much force, the young man's fingers actually pinched and deformed the body of the astragalus fish.
This scene made Jiang Xue's expression change slightly, as a magical beast, the astragalus fish is naturally not as fragile as ordinary fish, in Jiang Xue's opinion, even if you want to tear apart the astragalus fish with a knife, it will take a certain degree of difficulty, but this young man has pinched and deformed the fish bone with his strength alone, where does this young man come from?
For a while, the young man suddenly became mysterious in Jiang Xue's eyes.
"Ming, lift him to my back. ”
Helping the young man up from the ground, Jiang Xue turned her head and said.
"Sister, let me do this matter. ”
Jiang Yiming volunteered to step forward and wanted to carry the young man on his back, but he found that the young man was extremely heavy, and it was difficult to carry it even with all the strength of his body.
"How can it be so heavy?"
After trying hard for a long time to no avail, Jiang Yiming sat on the ground in a dejected manner, obviously suffering a heavy blow.
"It's so heavy, let's take him back together. ”
Jiang Xue rubbed Jiang Yiming's head and said with a smile. (To be continued......)
