Chapter 2: The Lucky Man
Hearing these words, everyone in the hall was stunned and dumbfounded. Yan Shaoliang was even more dumbfounded, and the scroll in his hand inadvertently fell to the ground. After a while, someone finally couldn't help but laugh, and then the whole house burst into laughter. Some even laughed so much that their stomachs hurt, but they still laughed and continued to laugh. There were also people who laughed and burst into tears, as if they couldn't even breathe.
"Bastard!" Yan Shaoliang's majestic voice resounded throughout the entire study hall, frightening everyone to force a smile and bow their heads in silence.
"Two times for a thousand words, five times for a hundred family names, ten times for three characters, ten days for cleaning, five days for ......punishment" Yan Shaoliang was angry, and he actually said many punishments. It may be that I usually talk too much, as if I am slipping out of my mouth, and I am talking endlessly.
This made everyone tremble. Although it is not a punishment for oneself, a person is not a sage, and no one can do wrong. Maybe one day, it will fall on your head. Listening to so many punishments, the students in the room were full of fear of this gentleman.
Before he could finish, the bell rang. It is the bell of the hall. "Oh! And they all got up and ran out of the door. Yan Shaoliang still kept talking.
casually thought to himself, "If he continues to talk about it, I'm afraid it won't be completed next year, so let's slip away." ”
Just make a grimace and blend in with the crowd. Yan Shaoliang was so angry that he gritted his teeth, picked up the books on the table, and smashed them towards the crowd, but he didn't know if he had smashed them.
Unexpectedly, a grimace appeared in the crowd, sticking out his tongue to Yan Shaoliang, "slightly~slightly~slightly", this person is casual.
"Stinky boy, don't let me catch you. So saying, he chased after him......
-- By the stream --
At sunset, a few strange birds flew through the sky. The voice was mournful and desolate. It seems that I am also reluctant to leave the sunset.
"Where are you going to fish today?"
"Old place! ”
A group of teenagers of about ten years old, holding bamboo poles, some large and small, of different lengths. Talking and laughing all the way, they came together, followed by a little girl, in her early five or six years old, who was Jia Chao's sister, Jia Yi.
The teenagers came to a river. The river flows down from the top of a distant mountain, and the water is sweet and clear. Although the river is not deep, it can only flood people's chests, and it is not wide, less than half a zhang and more than seven zhang. But it never stops flowing all year round. The same is true in times of drought. Not only can it be used by people, but it is also enough to irrigate the farmland and protect the people.
The crowd walked up to the stone bridge. This bridge is all made of small stones, and it is called the small stone bridge. The river under the bridge is clear and bottomless, gentle and slow. But up and down the two tours, it is completely two worlds.
The upper reaches are arguably the narrowest part of the river. The surface of the water is covered with aquatic plants, and the width of both banks is less than half a zhang, and you can even jump directly over it. And the river water is gentle, clear, and has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Downstream, however, is completely different, not only is it four feet wide, but the river flows significantly faster. The further downstream, the wider the river. In the distance, the embankment is as wide as seven zhang, and the river is turbulent, which is very strange.
casually carried a bamboo pole with a foot and a half, and came to the bridge with everyone. One by one, they sat down, threw out the bait, and their feet rippled in the water under the bridge. A heart-deep coolness floated from the soles of my feet, and a lot of heat was suddenly eliminated.
"Hey! How many shrimp are you going to catch today. A young man on the bridge teased with a smile on his face.
"I'm holding a fishing rod and hanging bait, of course I'm here to fish. Who's going to catch shrimp!"
Wherever he said this, there was laughter on the bridge.
"How many times have you said you have fished other than shrimp?" At the moment, I couldn't take care of myself with my laughter.
sighed casually, lowered his head, and said:
"Well, I've made a bunch of friends. Not only did they not encourage it, but they poured cold water on it......"
Jia Chao, a tall man sitting on the side, patted his casual shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother, I didn't say you." ”
Casually turned his head: "What's wrong?"
Jia Chao pointed in the direction where he threw the bait, and said emotionally: "Look at it, ah." The upstream is so narrow, and there are so many aquatic plants. The downstream is so wide, and the water surface is clean and thorough. If I'm a fish, I'm going to stay downstream. You say you're competing with those aquatic plants!"
casually looked in the direction of Jia Chao's finger. I saw that the upstream river was covered with vast aquatic weeds and reeds, like a green space, extending into the distance. Only where the bait was dropped, there was a barrel-like notch that exposed a bit of the river. I don't know how many red prawns were caught from this gap. But he never caught a single fish.
casually just smiled faintly and said softly: "Often big fish are in places where aquatic plants are dense, but it all depends on chance." I'm sure my luck won't be too bad. ”
"Isn't your luck always the worst?"
I don't know who said this suddenly, and there was a laugh behind him.
"It's been pouring mold for so long, it's time to transfer it!"
Jia Chao sighed and turned his head. His gaze shifted to his duckweed, made of goose feathers.
Jia Chao's sister, Jia Yi walked over. Sit down casually, raise two big watery eyes, and support your chin with two thin hands. Seeing Casual's firm eyes, Jia Yi's eyes seemed to be infected by it, full of determination, and said, "I believe that Brother Sui will definitely catch a fish!" The voice was sweet and cute.
"Hey! You're my sister. Why do you always turn your elbows outward. Come over here and watch your brother catch a big fish. ”
"Hmph! Jia Yi don't watch her brother fishing. Jiayi wants to watch shrimp fishing with her brother. As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue at Jia Chao, extremely well-behaved and naughty.
The boys on the bridge laughed again.
"Hehe, sure enough, even Jia Yi thinks that she can only catch shrimp casually. ”
"Hahaha..."
casually's face sank slightly, and he lowered his head and sighed. Looking at this innocent little face, the mood seems to be much calmer.
"No... No. Jia Yiru did something wrong, looked nervous, and hurriedly said: "I.. I didn't mean that, my brother will definitely catch a fish!"
casually touched Jia Yi's head and said with a smile: "Jia Yi is sensible and knows how to comfort people." ”
Jia Yi raised her head, looked casually, and showed an innocent smile. This smile is like the cold winter sun, warm and bright. Let a lot of cold and gloom in your heart be driven away.
In this way, a group of teenagers sat on the stone bridge. Six of them are bamboo poles, facing a wide downstream direction. There is only one bamboo pole, facing the narrow upstream direction. But unlike usual, this time casually is no longer alone. Because there is a cute little girl who is gazing at the water with him.
"Take the bait, take the bait!" casually shouted excitedly: "Such a big battle, this time it must be a fish." Everyone was startled, and they all moved closer to the casual side, looking at the water with a pair of surprised eyes.
Jia Yi was even more happy and jumped up again and again. While jumping, I also applauded. It seems to be more happy than casual.
The crowd looked at the river. I saw the string shaking violently. At first glance, it doesn't look like a shrimp can make any movement.
"What, whatever. Did you really transit?"
Pulling hard, I felt a fierce struggle along the bamboo pole.
"It must be a big guy. ”
A spot of black emerges from the water, but quickly sinks underwater.
"Behold, it is black. This time it's definitely not shrimp. "Say, fall into a beautiful fantasy" From now on, start to transfer, soaring, and admired by thousands of people. Ah, what to do, how to face my admirers......"
"What are you thinking? ”
was slapped on the head by Jia Chao, casually seemed to have finally returned to reality, but he couldn't hold it, and everyone came to help. Jia Yi also held a pair of small hands together. She obviously couldn't help much, but she also used the weak strength of her whole body to pull.
"One, two, up..."
At the moment when this behemoth was about to surface, everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.
Gradually, a huge black pincer appeared on the surface of the water. The crowd was stunned, for they had never seen anything so big... Such a big...
Lobster! Apparently an old shrimp, so old that the shell turned from red to black.
I saw that the rope was tightly entangled in one of the pincers of the giant shrimp, and I don't know how it did it, not only did the bait not eat, but it actually wrapped itself around such a thin rope. The difficulty coefficient is 9.8!
Casually look at the water with anticipation. Suddenly frozen, and his whole body stiffened, like five thunderbolts. That fragile heart was completely shattered like this.
It's easy for a big guy to come, but it turns out to be still a shrimp, or a giant shrimp. This made him unacceptable for a while, and the dream of just soaring and being admired by thousands of people was shattered like this.
"I... Where's my fish?"
Only then did the people behind him react and joked, "Wow! What a big fish!"
When he turned around, he was already laughing and collapsed.
The giant shrimp kept struggling, and its huge tail slammed into the water with extraordinary force. The "click" bamboo pole broke. reacted quickly, grabbed the rope, and was almost pulled down the river. Everyone retreated, and they almost fell downstream.
In this way, eight people on the bridge (because the bridge deck is too narrow, there are only three people who can actually help) pulled the giant shrimp ashore like a tug-of-war.
I saw that the giant shrimp was extremely angry, raised its head and glared at everyone, and waved its double crows in a row. The crowd did not dare to come near. If the hands and feet are caught by this huge pincer, they will continue to be wasted.
Pull the string casually, swing your arm three times, pull it, wave it three times backwards, and pull it again. The string simply left the body of the giant shrimp. Looks like a veteran of shrimp fishing!
"What are you doing! Loosen the rope and the shrimp will escape!"
casually straightened the rope, put on a righteous appearance, and said:
"This shrimp must be so big that it must be very unacceptable!
As he spoke, he looked at the people hiding behind him, and said inexplicably:
"I said... Such a big shrimp, let me catch it by myself! I'm afraid that it will be like this......
"Ahem" coughed dryly, quickly put away the frightened look on his face, and deliberately pretended to be benevolent. Xiao sleeve waved and said, "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense." It's a life, too, so let it go. ”
The crowd gave him a blank look. It seemed that even Jia Yi saw something, and said embarrassedly: "Uh... Is Brother Liao scared?"
"Who's scared!"
There was laughter on the bridge......
And so the sun sets. But there is still a faint residual light that is reluctant to leave, lighting the way home for the cultivators.
The teenagers returned with a full load, and along the way, there was talk and laughter. Just casually walking empty-handed. The bamboo pole broke, so he could no longer continue fishing. But he didn't feel a trace of frustration. Because he doesn't really like fishing. In his opinion, sitting on the bridge with his brothers and talking about his heart, and shaking this clear water under his feet is the happiest thing.
