Chapter 2 Caring for a little bit of heartache
"It's half a sack piece, and the willow ......"
Zhu Wentian felt that if he could get fish, he could give someone a point, and he was idle and had no books to read.
"What fish are in the river? The rice is about to be harvested, the weather is not cold, obviously not the rice of the Northeast, indica rice, it is better to make rice noodles, especially the aged ......"
He muttered on a laundry stone by the river, unwrapped the sack, and placed a willow branch beside it.
He needs to judge the geographical environment, and in terms of crops and temperature, it is definitely not the Yellow River Basin.
If it is the Yellow River Basin, the temperature must drop at this moment, and there should be wheat at the same time.
Now he saw by the river that there were purple lilies, castor beans, perilla, and other grasses.
At the same time, there is a bamboo forest on the other side of the river, a little far away, take a closer look, purple bamboo.
"I still can't locate it, I have it all in the south and north of the river, unless I am given some references, such as special specialties. Well, dig earthworms. ”
Zhu Wentian connected the fishing line and the fishing rod, without a fishing hook, tied a knot, two dead knots and two slipknots.
The dead knot is a big pimple, and the slipknot is used to tie the earthworm, eh? Grasshoppers in the fields will do the same.
This method is most suitable for catching carnivorous fish, and the bite will not let go, and the knot will be larger, and the fish will not be able to spit out in a short time.
He used a short branch to pick out earthworms and other insects, such as mole crickets, by picking out the river.
Through these, it is still impossible to judge the specific geographical location, and many of these things are available in many places.
He made the earthworm into several pieces, tied it to the slipknot, picked up a long pebble, and considered whether to add a pendant, but he always had to drag it, and if he didn't add it, he was worried that the fish floating on the water would not like to swallow the bait.
"Let's let me catch a few fish!" Zhu Wentian muttered to himself and threw the bait onto the water.
As soon as the bait touched the water, a fish swallowed it with its head exposed.
"Oops! Oh my God! Zhu Wentian hurriedly threw the rod and threw it back.
A fish of more than ten centimeters flew out and smashed into the wet dirt with a pop.
"Mandarin fish, it has to be more than half a catty, it's too easy to catch, go on." Zhu Wentian unloaded the fish and put it on with the prepared wicker.
Then he fished one after another, mullet, mandarin fish, minnow, and even grass carp, God knows why grass carp swallowed live bait, this is not scientific.
Before, he also considered using bowfish to bow fish, which can be fresh for a while, but he is too busy at the moment, so he will wear it! Anyway, I'll have to eat it in a while.
He estimated that in an hour, more than forty fish were pierced with willow branches behind him.
It's too big to catch it, and the fish obviously swallows the bait, and when it comes to it, it takes off, and there is no hook.
Generally, it is to look at the weight of one catty, and the biggest feeling is three catties and two.
"Brother Hanhan, Brother Hanhan, what are you doing?"
"Fish, there are fish, Brother Han caught fish."
"Eat fish, eat fish at noon today."
"Brother Han Han knows how to fish!"
The voices of a group of children came, and they ran behind Zhu Wentian and watched the fish call with joy.
Each of them carried a small bamboo basket with a lid and grasshoppers inside.
Apparently they were catching grasshoppers in the rice fields to feed the chickens and ducks.
Zhu Wentian looked at these friends who played together in his memory: "Fish, fish!" Silly, hey, hey! ”
As soon as he lifted the rod, another mandarin fish of more than 30 centimeters was thrown up, this one was big, too big, it felt more than four catties, it was not easy!
"Brother Hanhan, can you fish without a hook? Let me see. Here, the eggs that were sent to you in the morning, the chief said no, I'll pick them up. ”
A little girl took out a boiled egg and stuffed it to Zhu Wentian.
Zhu Wentian looked at the other party's yellow and end-split hair, squeezed out a smile, hehe, hehe, and took the egg and picked it up.
A group of friends gathered around to look at the fishing tools, and waited for this Hanhan brother to re-tie the bait and throw it into the water, and successfully catch a fish, they understood.
The sacks continue to be dismantled, the branches of the willow trees continue to break, and the earthworms do not need to be dug anymore, there are many of them.
Next a group of children are fishing by the river, and they are not afraid of their hands, they can slowly become proficient, and sometimes luck is more important.
The grasshoppers they caught were also used as bait by Zhu Wentian, and they followed suit.
Twenty-two friends and their Han Han brother made a nest in this place, and the fish were thrown up one after another.
By noon, it was the adults of their family who came to shout, and they reacted that fishing was addictive, especially when they were crazy about fishing.
Behind them was a pile of fish, patronizing the fishing, and no one thought about the number at all.
"You, you ......" The father who boiled eggs for Zhu Wentian came over and looked at Xiaoyushan in a daze.
"Dad, make fish for lunch!" The little girl also found that there were too many fish, and she shouted excitedly.
"Eat fish eat fish."
"We fished."
"Brother Han taught us."
"The village keepers are really powerful."
The rest of the friends followed suit, and they received this kind of education from an early age.
Brother Han Han of the village guards is amazing, he was invited by the village, he must be good to the village guards, he can't be ridiculed, bullying is not allowed, and the village guards must help if they are in difficulty.
The village keeper is given by God, bless the whole village, and the village can be stable when there are village guards.
In fact, Zhu Wentian's body, don't look at the fact that he is only fifteen years old, and his height of more than one meter six is key to strength.
He can easily pick up more than 200 catties of stones, and when he pulls the plow, he catches up with half a cow.
"Hanhan, did you teach them? Yes! Yes! The fortune teller is right, give less, give less money.
At that time, the fortune teller said that the village keepers were not ordinary, and treating the village guards well would inevitably be blessed.
Ah! I have to tell the others, great, our Hanhan has brought good fortune to the village.
The lieutenant didn't do anything wrong at the beginning, but he should have gone somewhere else to find a fool to be the village guard, right. ”
The little girl's father ran away shouting, feeling more like a village keeper.
Zhu Wentian: "......"
He actually wanted to tell the other party that the fortune teller's words were covered in clouds and mountains, flickering, don't take it seriously.
If you are a fortune teller, you should say the same thing when you look at the treatment of the village keepers.
Ay? Village keepers? Are you a village keeper?
It's amazing, this village actually knows how to raise fools.
Zhu Wentian suddenly understood his identity and status, and there should be a fool in an ordinary village, caused by various reasons.
I actually brought it back to the village from somewhere else, and used myself to educate the villagers.
What is a village keeper? Keep the goodness of a village, the virtue of a hundred households, and the bottom line of protecting human nature.
If a village, from adults to children, knows how to treat a fool well, then there will be no village tyrants.
The whole village raises a fool well, telling the child to be good to the fool, and cultivating virtue is actually cultivated.
In such a village, who would dare to be a village tyrant? I can't kill you!
He became a benchmark, so the people of a village raised themselves in a feudal and superstitious way.
"Then I'll be a village watchman for this village!"
Zhu Wentian muttered to himself and flicked the fishing rod, and another big fish that looked like it could exceed four catties flew up, and the fish sprinkled water droplets in the air, dazzling like pearls.
***
"That's it, that's it, look, our village keepers have opened up, and our Hanhan is fishing with the children!"
After a long time, the little girl's father ran back again, followed by a group of people.
The children were trying to throw the fish down the road, and the small area on the shore could not fit and would fall back into the water if they were put again.
The villagers ran over to help get fish, and by the way, they stared at Zhu Wentian, and the more they watched, the more happy they became.
Zhu Wentian was at a loss, shouldn't you feel frightened and puzzled? Why is it so natural to accept the fact that I can fish without a hook?
So how am I going to perform after that? Keep it up? Suddenly smarter? A little bit with a simple look and slowly smart?
I'm set up by someone! Can you tell me where you are in your heart? I can cooperate.
"No hooks, huh? How do fish bite? ”
"Fishing is so easy? See if it's a fake fish? ”
"Oh my God! It's enough for the whole village to eat a good meal of meat. ”
"Definitely blessed by the mountain god, the thunder last night, right!"
"In another year, our Hanhan will be sixteen years old, and he will pay rent and labor at sixteen."
"Captain, how did you find the village guard? Captain, you're amazing! ”
"If the lieutenant chief is not powerful, how can he be the lieutenant chief?"
"Yes, yes, Chief, tell me what you thought when you first looked for the village guard."
"No, no, no, I just look at this kid, I can't look down on others, and I like our simplicity at a glance." The captain waved his hands together, modest, and his face smiled like a flower.
He looked at the fish! It is estimated that there are thousands of catties, and the people in the village eat it casually, and this meal of meat is picked up for nothing.
He came to Zhu Wentian's side: "Hanhan, how can you fish?" ”
"Huh? Hey! Fish! Look, watch someone fish, hehe! Zhu Wentian continued to maintain his character.
"Oh! It turned out that I saw someone else fishing, but someone else has a hook! You don't have a hook, you can hit a few pimples and fish hard. This kid! ”
The chief touched Zhu Wentian's head, and his heart was happy.
He thought that God gave it to his village, didn't he see that the other villagers said that the village keeper he was looking for was good?
"Hanhan, let's go back to dinner." The governor looked at so many fish, and the meat at noon and evening was all there, and if there was any leftover, it was salted.
"Fish, fish, hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Wentian was already hungry, but he still had to say so.
"After eating and fishing, find more children to fish with you." The chief gestured as he spoke.
"Good, good! Eat, eat, fish! Hey, hey, hey! Zhu Wentian cooperated.
So the crowd went back with the fish, and this one had to be distributed, according to the population.
There are very few grass carp, and they can swallow live bait by chance, and the others are meat-eating fish, which is fragrant.
Grassed fish is generally best steamed and delicious.
If you eat meaty fish, there are many ways to do it, and sashimi is no problem.
The time for lunch has passed, but everyone has not eaten, not farming, usually eating later, or even two meals.
There happened to be more fish, and it was not easy to catch fish, and today the villagers could not figure out how they could catch so many fish without a fishing hook.
You can't keep it unless you marinate it with a lot of salt.
Everyone stews fish, which saves fire and other seasonings.
"Leaves, leaves." Zhu Wentian threw the perilla leaves he picked into the pot, and now they are actually old, and they have the same taste as they are old.
Perilla seeds taste more fragrant, collect more, and if they are pressed into oil, it is the best.
