Chapter 381: Fishing in Troubled Waters

Qin Xi also took a bench and sat next to Tang Ying, taking off his shoes in the same way.

Although he had expected it for a long time, when he really saw the four big blisters on the soles of his feet, Qin Xi couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air.

Sure enough, she is also a rookie.

Qin Jiang and He Yuan's situation is better, but it is also limited, there are still blisters on the feet, and the soles of the feet are sore.

It's okay not to sit, but as soon as you sit down, you don't want to get up anymore, and it feels like it's a torment to stand, let alone move around.

After a trip into the mountain, all four of them became third-degree cripples, and they sat paralyzed on the stool for an hour before they could stand up, barely moving their thighs, which were already a little wooden.

After recovering a little, Tang Ying and He Yuan left, after all, they are educated youths who live in Zhiqing Point, and their beds are also in Zhiqing Point, so they have to take a lunch break at noon today, so they naturally want to go back to Zhiqing Point to take a lunch break.

Qin Qing is not at home, maybe she went out to play, and she hasn't come back yet.

Qin Xi and Qin Jiang used the water that was brought back from the reservoir yesterday, simply washed their faces, and after washing all their hands and feet, they also went back to their respective houses and went for a lunch break.

They were very tired today, so as soon as they lay down on the bed, they fell asleep quickly, and they slept very deeply, and Qin Xi didn't even know when Qin Qing came back.

Qin Qing saw her brother and sister come back, it was a joy, she didn't like to stay at home alone, the woman next door was always uneasy and kind to peep at the situation here, so she was home alone, and when the weather was good, she liked to go to the house of her friends in the village to play.

As soon as she got home, she saw that her sister was already asleep in bed, Qin Qing's mood was good, only to see her close the door, and after a while, she was lying on her own small bed.

At this time, she felt extremely comfortable and relaxed, and soon, she fell asleep.

On the third day of coming back from going to the mountains to fetch water, early in the morning, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang went to the reservoir with Tang Ying and He Yuan, carrying a wooden barrel and a net.

This time, they are not here to fetch water, but to catch fish, and in addition, they can't let go of any snails, snails, small river shells, small shrimps, etc.

These days, the water level of the reservoir has been declining, especially in the last few days, the sun is particularly hot, and the springs fenced with stones have all been exposed, except for the deep ditches dug on both sides, the water in other parts of the reservoir, the deepest is only knee-deep, and the shallow places cannot even cover the surface of the feet.

What's more, a large area of bare mud, those dead branches criss-cross, teeth and claws to intimidate people, but now, everyone can't take care of these branches, you know, there are fish in this reservoir, the first people to come here, early fishing, some even have a small half a catty harvest.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the four of them immediately became hot, not that they love to eat fish and snails, but that people are naturally full of enthusiasm for things like catching fish and picking up mushrooms.

Now their situation is like this, the only net of the four fell into the hands of Qin Jiang, he reacted the fastest, and the net was in his hands, so that it could be of the greatest use.

Qin Xi and Tang Ying have no expectations for those fish, their own family knows their own affairs, what are their own catties, they still have a number, or stay aside obediently and touch the snail shell! If this is done, the taste is no worse than that of fish.

Qin Jiang held the net in his hand, He Yuan was carrying a bucket, following him, the two did not rush to catch fish, but walked to the shore of the water with aquatic plants, Qin Jiang went directly into the water, this kind of place, even if you can't catch fish, but small river shrimp must be indispensable.

After having the goal, both sides started to act, and after a while, there was a harvest, although it was just a few snails, a few small shrimps, but it was enough to make them feel excited, this kind of effort got the feeling of tangible rewards visible to the naked eye, to be honest, it was fantastic, this feeling was very addictive.

It's a pity that it didn't take long for this small reservoir to pour into a large number of people, who held tools in their hands and shuttled neatly through the water.

Every time there is a fish that goes up half a catty in the water, it will cause a commotion, many people push me to catch big fish, and countless people fall into the muddy water.

In short, as soon as there were many people, the scene became noisy, and the water became completely turbid and became muddy water.

Qin Xi and Tang Ying couldn't stand it and chose to flee because they were afraid of being crushed over.

So, the two of them directly buckled the snails in the mud, as long as there are small pits, there will be a harvest inside, as little as one or two, as many as five or six, not to mention, picking up snails on the shore is much faster than touching in the water, but it is not very friendly to the fingers.

More than two hours have passed, and Qin Jiang and He Yuan have already fished more than half a bucket of river shrimp and fish, and there are a few of them that are slightly larger, but there are more small fish and small shrimps.

The two of them don't dislike it, the harvest of the two of them is already a relatively good wave of people, above them, either the first person to come, the first to eat crabs, after all, it is different from others, or it is a person with special luck, although some people come late, the skills of fishing are also vegetables, and there are no tools, but they can't stand the big fish that is in a panic, and they hit the man's hand directly!

The biggest fish caught by the villagers, about two catties or more, is a grass carp, wild grass carp, if you want to grow so big, it takes time, this reservoir has not been repaired for a year, it is definitely not a native fish in the reservoir.

One may have been hidden in the spring, and the reservoir was repaired before running out, and the other was swam here from a ditch elsewhere, in short, the man had taken a shit luck and picked up a grass carp that big.

"Let's go, don't touch it, go back." He Yuan walked to Tang Ying's side and saw the wooden barrel in her hand, his eyes flashed, and he was a little surprised.

Seeing that she and Qin Xi have been walking around the shore before, I originally thought that they would have nothing to gain, but I didn't expect that he was underestimating people.

Tang Ying and Qin Xi still had a lot of goods in the barrels, which greatly surprised him.

Snails are such things that reproduce very quickly, there are already snails in the spring, plus they were brought from elsewhere by the water flow, today Qin Xi and Tang Ying only spent more than two hours to pick up most of the snails, which are almost full, which can be described as a full harvest.

"Oh, okay, but we need to scrub the mud off these snails first, and we don't have any water to wash them at home."

How precious this water is now! In particular, if you pick up water at home and wash things outside, don't take them home with you, troublesome.

"Okay, you guys hurry up." After He Yuan finished speaking, he washed the mud on his hands and feet.

After washing up, I climbed a slope non-stop and went to the shade of the tree to enjoy the shade.
