Dahuang rushed out quickly and stood at the door of the Patriarch Temple, staring eagerly at the two kids running from a distance.
The kitten jumped onto the threshold of the door. Its hair stood on end and its mouth opened, but it didn't know how to bark.
The old cat glanced outside the door and started to deal with a bone next to him again. Alas, his teeth were getting worse and worse, but he was unwilling to give up to Dahuang.
The little Taoist priest could tell who was shouting outside, so he quickly walked out of the ancestral temple, scolded Dahuang, and then went to greet the visitor.
Xilai ran at the front. When he saw the little Taoist priest, he immediately said happily: "Little Taoist priest, come with us to catch fish in the river!"
Before the Taoist leader responded, the red soldier following Xilai continued: "The people from the Xinqiao brigade raised the dam and cut off all the water in the river. In the past two days, our brigade has drained all the water from the river.
There are fish everywhere in the river. Just go to the river and pick them up!"
"Then why didn't you go to the river to pick up fish?" the little Taoist asked.
"The water is still dry in only a few places now, and all the fish have been caught by the people pumping water in our village. When the water dries out a little more, there will be more fish in the river. We were afraid that you wouldn't get the news, so we went to the mountains to give you
You tipped off the news." Xilai said.
Da Lei walked at the end, already out of breath, holding his hands on his knees and constantly panting.
The little Taoist thought for a while, when had he ever eaten fish? It seemed like it had been a long time. It would be nice to catch a few fish for a change of taste. This time it was either rabbit meat or pheasant meat, and his mouth smelled like rabbit.
It smells bad. It’s a good idea to eat fish occasionally.
When the old cat heard about catching fish, his eyes lit up. My mother, how long has it been since she smelled fish? No, this time, old cat, I have to go down the mountain.
The kitten has never eaten fish, has not tasted the fishy smell, and has no special interest in fish. Moreover, it cannot understand the conversation between Xiao Dao Zhang and others. It only knows where Xiao Dao Zhang and others are going, and it wants to follow him.
But usually, the little Taoist priest keeps it locked up in the Patriarch Temple, and it can't do anything about it.
Rhubarb is not picky about food at all, and he has no special interest in or repelling fish. Following the trail leader's ass is far more tempting to him than eating fish.
It was a holiday anyway, so the trail leader did not stop Dahuang, the old cat, and the kitten from following. It was the first time for a family of four to go down the mountain together.
There was nothing valuable in the Patriarch's Temple, and the door did not need to be locked. The door was just ajar, and the little Taoist followed Xilai and others down the mountain.
When we arrived at the riverside, dozens of water tankers from Xianjiqiao Village were lined up densely on the river bank. The young and strong labor force of Xianjiqiao Brigade was constantly stepping on the water tankers. The water in the river was splashing.
The car was led to the rice field. A ditch was enclosed in the rice field. At the end of the ditch, there was another water truck to lead the water in the ditch to the higher rice field. In this way, the water in the river was diverted step by step.
Go to the rice fields high up.
The water in the river is really almost drained, exposing the river bed. The silt on the river bottom is a very good source of fertilizer these days, so the silt accumulated in the river bed is not very deep. In many places, the rocks on the river bottom are exposed.
The elderly, women, and children of the Xianjiqiao Brigade all rolled up their trousers and went down to the river. Fish, shrimps, shells, and screws can be seen everywhere on the exposed riverbed in the river. These are very good ingredients. Of course, everyone is more interested in,
It is a big fish that stirs out of the water from time to time in deep water.
"Jinshan is really lucky. I just caught a catfish weighing more than two kilograms in that place."
"Guilian was even more lucky. Her feet didn't even get wet. She caught a fat-headed fish (male) right on the edge of the pier."
…
People in Xianjiqiao are talking about so-and-so catching a big fish in the river, and so-and-so almost catching a big fish. Everyone's eyes are fixed on the river, and they all want to catch a big fish from the river.
The little Taoist leader didn't even have a fishing net in his hand, nor did he have the various fishing tools that the Xianjiqiao people had. Therefore, even if he reached the riverside, he could only watch the fish and sigh. From the beginning, he never thought about fishing in front of everyone.
Then use Taoism to catch fish.
Mr. Zhang Dalei and his son Zhang Xingfu carried a steamer to the deepest pool, set the poles on the river bank, and slowly sank the steamer net into the water. The steamer net was very wide, but it was completely open.
Sink into the water and wait for the fish. After sinking in the water for a period of time, slowly lift the net out of the water. Since the four surrounding corners come out of the water first, the fish entering the net will usually move towards it when frightened.
Run through the center of the net, and when the surrounding sides of the net emerge from the water, the fish in the net will have nowhere to escape.
The little Taoist priest and the little boy Xilai were impatient. As soon as the net was put down, they urged Zhang Xingfu to raise the net quickly because they were worried that the fish would run away after entering.
Zhang Xingfu was very experienced and was not in a hurry. He slowly smoked a dry cigarette and then raised the net in a leisurely manner.
The net seemed very calm, and Big Lei sighed: "It must have run away. You let it go for so long before you got up. The fish swam inside and ran out again. Now you are still catching a fart!"
Da Lei expressed his dissatisfaction to Mr. Laozi very seriously.
"You brat, I caught a fish in my net, don't go back and eat it!" Zhang Xingfu said with a chuckle.
When the net was almost all out of the water, there was a sudden crash in the middle of the net. It was obvious that a fish had been caught in the net.
Zhang Xingfu was not in a hurry at all and still pulled the net out of the water slowly. As expected, several palm-sized crucian carps were trapped in the net bag in the center of the net, as well as loaches, fish and shrimps, etc.
"Xingfu, you are really lucky to be able to catch so many people in one steamer." Luo Chunhua said with a smile.
"They are just small fish and shrimps. It's not as good as you picking up more." Zhang Xingfu said.
"After picking up for a long time, there were not even two ounces of fish, your feet didn't even get wet, and you netted several kilograms of fish in one pot. Who can compare with you?" Luo Chunhua looked around on the river bed while talking.
When the little Taoist saw his wife catching fish in the river, he took off his pants and only wore a pair of underpants before jumping into the river.
"You brat, be careful. What if you step on a tile and cut your foot?" Luo Chunhua felt worried for a while.
"It's okay. Master, I'll help you catch a big fish." The little Taoist priest walked towards the pool.
"Be careful, the water in the pool is quite deep." Luo Chunhua shouted quickly.
"Chunhua, you really treat the little Taoist priest as your own son. The little Taoist priest is also really good. In the future, when your family Hongxia grows up and consummates the relationship with the little Taoist priest, he will really become your biological son." Zhou Ping said with a smile.
.
"When Chang Xing grows up, I still don't know whether he will be able to see Hongxia or not. Who can tell clearly what will happen in the future?" Luo Chunhua is really satisfied with the director, but she can't say enough.
