Hearing the meaning of Wei Zishan's words, Li Shi was startled, and then asked: "Do you want to kill him?"
Wei Zishan finally took off her heavy makeup. At this moment, she seemed to have taken off a mask, and her bare face was revealed in front of Li Shi.
She is fifteen or sixteen years old, with smooth skin, but faint dark circles under her eyes and a pale complexion, which makes the girl look slightly depressed.
Wei Zishan gritted her teeth, and two cold lights shot out from her eyes, as if she wanted to shoot Jiang Ning through: "Yes, kill him!"
However, when Li Shi saw her angry, she said, "You can't kill him, can you?"
Li Shi thought carefully about Jiang Ning's presence at the barbecue stall that day. Although she didn't want to admit that Jiang Ning was excellent, he did have a lot of skills in fighting, and the little gangster couldn't do anything to him with weapons.
With Wei Zishan's body, if she wanted to kill Jiang Ning, well, Li Shi thought about it seriously and said, "You must at least bring a gun, right?"
Wei Zishan couldn't help but rolled her eyes and lost most of her anger. Jiang Ning was so cool, why did she kill him?
She, Wei Zishan, is ready to conquer this man!
"Do you know where he lives?" Wei Zishan desperately needed the information.
Li Shi thought for a while and said, "I'll ask someone."
She sent a message to Wang Yong in Class 8: "Do you know where Jiang Ning lives?"
In a farmhouse yard, Wang Yong was busy communicating with the boss to make sure that the arrangements for the roasted whole lamb in the evening were in place.
Although he is not very old, he is much smarter than others of his age in dealing with people. Wang Yong took out his mobile phone and saw Li Shi's message. He replied:
"Sister Shishi, do you have time? Jiang Ning's situation is a bit complicated. I'll talk to you on the phone."
With permission, Wang Yong dialed the phone, while Li Shi pressed the speaker phone and placed the phone on the coffee table.
Wang Yong didn't ask Li Shi why he was looking for Jiang Ning's position. He went straight to the point: "Jiang Ning's family is in the lower town of Guyang County. He rented the house of Xue Yuantong's family to live in."
Li Shi: "Are you still staying at Xue Yuantong's house during the summer vacation?"
Wang Yong said: "I saw Xue Yuantong talking in the class that day, and he was still living there."
"You remember the last spring outing, or the boating trip, the dam, you entered the dam, walked a kilometer or two in, and saw a row of bungalows to the north. He lived there."
Wang Yong repeated it several times.
"I know, you can get busy." Li Shi hung up the phone.
Li Shi said: "I probably understand it, I will point it out to you tomorrow."
Wei Zishan: "I'll go tonight."
Li Shi looked at her in disbelief: "Shanshan, you..."
Li Shi didn't want to go. She wanted to eat roasted whole lamb at night, so why bother going to the river dam?
Wei Zishan picked up her phone and said, "Come with me and I'll take a look."
She called the driver. Wei Zishan came to Yuzhou to visit. After Lin Han learned about it, he specially arranged a driver for her to take care of the usual activities.
After she finished the phone call and set a time, Li Shi had no choice but to accompany her.
They took the elevator all the way to the parking lot. The driver was already waiting for them. Soon, a black Volkswagen drove toward the suburbs.
…
River dam.
The golden sunset shines on the small pond, and the shallow water is slightly warm.
Jiang Ning was wearing slippers and stepped in. The water covered her ankles and reached her calves.
The water depth is about 20 to 30 centimeters. If the remaining water is left for a while, the pond may be dried by the sun.
The water was a little chilly at the low level. Jiang Ning stepped into the water and walked two steps. He bent down and reached out to grab it. He touched a gray object as thick as his thumb. The mud strip twisted around in his hand.
Xue Yuantong opened his eyes wide and pulled Chu Chu: "Look, look, there is really a loach!"
Jiang Ning grabbed the mud strip, rinsed it in the water, and gave it a bath. The loach showed a yellow appearance, with several pairs of beards growing around its mouth, making it look funny.
The loach twisted wildly, trying desperately to escape. Jiang Ning's hands were like pliers, holding it tightly so that no matter how it twisted, it could not escape.
Jiang Ning threw it at the bottom of the bucket, and the loach made a clicking sound in the bucket.
Xue Yuantong: "What a strong loach, it must be delicious!"
Xue Chuchu deeply agreed. The so-called "turtle dove in the sky, loach on the ground" describes the taste of loach, not to mention wild loach. She has not tasted it for several years. With Tongtong's cooking skills, she simply cannot imagine how many times it tastes.
tasty.
When Xue Chuchu saw Jiang Ning catching loaches in the water, she was moved: "Would it be easier to catch them if the water was poured dry?"
In the past, when fishing in the village, water pumps were often used, but now we don’t have the conditions.
The puddle in front of us is not that big, just over three meters long and about two meters wide. If we use a basin and bucket and are willing to put in some effort, we can make the water shallower.
Seeing that Xue Yuantong was about to make a move, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Give me the bucket."
Xue Chuchu's suggestion was adopted, and she whispered: "I'll help too."
Xue Yuantong worried: "What to do with the loach in the bucket?"
Jiang Ning grabbed the bucket and tipped it over, and the loach dived into the water ecstatically.
Xue Yuantong felt extremely distressed.
Jiang Ning comforted him: "It doesn't matter. Let it be happy for a while, and then catch it after pouring water on it. It won't be able to escape."
"All right."
Jiang Ning picked up the bucket, filled half of the bucket with water, and poured it into the distance with a moving sound.
Seeing how hard he worked, Xue Chuchu didn't watch. She picked up the basin and poured water on it too.
Xue Chuchu looks thin, but actually does housework a lot. She has the tenacity of a rural girl, and her work efficiency cannot be underestimated.
As for Xue Yuantong, the two containers were divided. She had no tools and was embarrassed to watch people working. In order to feel involved, she used her hands to help pour water.
It ended up being so clumsy that it got on my clothes.
Her little face turned unhappy, and Chu Chu said, "It's okay to wash clothes at night."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Ning. He splashed water all over the sky. The water splashed with the setting sun and shone like countless pieces of gold, bright and beautiful.
His white body was still spotless and in sharp contrast.
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips slightly and looked past Jiang Ning to the sky in the distance. 'The clouds in the sky have a strange shape, like a rabbit.'
Time passed, and after more than ten minutes, the water level in the small puddle dropped rapidly, reaching the level of reaching the ankles.
Scanning with the naked eye, you can even faintly see the shadow of a loach in the water.
Jiang Ning put the bucket next to the puddle, bent down and fished it out, and caught back the loach that he had released before.
"Okay." Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong happily took off his sandals, stepped into a puddle, and his feet immediately sank into the soft mud.
The sole of her foot slipped and she trembled, and Xue Chuchu quickly grabbed her.
Xue Yuantong stabilized her figure and immediately forgot about the danger just now. All she could see was the loach!
Xue Yuantong had very good eyesight. She aimed at a loach that was lying motionless, and with great swiftness, she grabbed the loach with both hands.
As soon as her smile appeared, the next second, the loach swung nimbly and slipped away from her hand.
"It's too slippery!" It's impossible to catch it!
Xue Yuantong thinks that loaches have no friction!
Xue Chuchu tried twice, but instead of grabbing it directly, she quietly inserted her hands into the mud.
When Xue Yuantong watched, he was so nervous that he held his breath for fear of disturbing the loach.
As Xue Chuchu closed her hands, the loach was trapped in her palms, and the loach twisted around in her palms.
She threw the loach into the bucket. There were several loaches in the bucket now.
Without Tongtong asking, Xue Chuchu taught her the techniques for catching loaches, such as being calm, breathing steadily, and having quick hands and quick eyes.
In fact, Jiang Ning is even better at catching loaches. He can hold a loach with one hand and catch one accurately.
However, his method cannot be learned, at least not in a day or two.
Xue Yuantong studied humbly, and Xue Chuchu found the target for her. After several attempts, Xue Yuantong successfully caught a slippery loach.
She smiled and slowly held the loach in her palms, feeling its twisting vitality.
Xue Yuantong stood in the muddy water, with a few drops of muddy water on his delicate little face, and smiled silly, making a string of ringing laughter.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, look, I caught you!"
With such a slippery little thing in her hand, Xue Yuantong felt an explosion of accomplishment and wanted to show off to everyone she knew:
'I, Xue Yuantong, catch the loach with one hand!'
Xue Chuchu was affected by her stupidity, and a ray of light floated from the corner of her mouth.
She turned around and raised her head. On the river dam dozens of meters away, figures were swaying. Someone stopped the car and looked over. There were people setting up stalls to sell things.
The setting sun slanted down at dusk, and a peaceful human scene was deeply engraved in Xue Chuchu's heart.
…
The black Volkswagen drove into the river dam.
Wei Zishan and Li Shi in the back row looked through the car window at the fields and rivers passing by.
Wei Zishan said: "The scenery is nice, better than the city."
Li Shi: "In places that are too remote, the scenery is mostly good."
Compared to living in Heba and enduring many inconveniences, Li Shi prefers to live in her family's single-family villa, which has the same beautiful scenery and is next to Huqi Mountain.
Even though the Volkswagen was not traveling very fast, it still covered the one or two kilometers of road very quickly. Wei Zishan always paid attention to the scene outside the window.
Sure enough, she saw the row of bungalows and said to herself: "So I live here."
On the other hand, Li Shi's originally careless eyes suddenly froze. She saw two figures. The familiar height difference made her think of Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong.
"Uncle, stop the car," Li Shi said.
Wei Zishan was confused: "Shishi?"
Opening the car door, Li Shi walked to the asphalt roadside of Heba and looked from a distance, and it turned out to be Jiang Ning.
"Look, isn't that the person you're looking for?"
Wei Zishan looked at it and said, "Really, what are they doing in the water?"
Li Shi guessed: "It looks like he is fishing, and he is quite good at it."
"Let's go down and find him." Wei Zishan couldn't help but feel angry when she thought about Jiang Ning's perfunctory treatment of her today and even induced her to send photos. She must know Jiang Ning.
After making the decision, the two walked down the steep dam, crossed a section of dry water, and approached Jiang Ning's location.
Jiang Ning's consciousness was released and he had already discovered them. Xue Chuchu and Xue Yuantong discovered them together, but they didn't pay attention.
Wei Zishan walked closer and closer, and walked to the puddle full of anger.
She stared at Jiang Ning, who was catching loaches, and stood on the shore and asked: "You..."
Wei Zishan shouted out one word and immediately got stuck because she found that she didn't know what reason to use.
"What are you doing?" Wei Zishan asked.
Li Shi glanced at Xue Yuantong and another beautiful girl in disgust. It's a pity that such a beautiful girl fished in muddy water and didn't know how to cherish her body.
Xue Yuantong recognized Li Shi. As for the other girl with gray braids, she seemed familiar and did not dare to confirm.
"We are catching loaches." Xue Yuantong held the loaches in his hands to show off.
Wei Zishan frowned and took two steps back. Xue Yuantong noticed her disgust and his eyes darkened a little. He heard Chu Chu say: "Jiang Ning, I feel like there aren't many loaches left."
Jiang Ning threw the loaches in his hand into the bucket. As soon as his consciousness passed, he saw that there were thirty or forty loaches in the bucket, weighing two kilograms. He was able to force all the loaches out of the mud.
"Okay, let's call it a day." Jiang Ning knew that Tongtong and Xue Chuchu felt uncomfortable when being watched.
He pulled off his slippers, came out of the puddle, and reached out to support Tongtong.
Xue Yuantong was silent for a long time when outsiders were present, hiding her joy deep in her heart.
Wei Zishan took the time to see the loach in the bucket and wanted to take a closer look, but the little girl hid the bucket to her side...
Wei Zishan cursed in her heart.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was not interested in talking to him, Li Shi took the initiative and said, "The loach market is good now. These loaches can be sold for dozens of dollars."
"If you are willing to sell it, I can help you collect it." Li Shi said with a sense of superiority.
Once upon a time, she, her father, and her uncle went to the countryside to buy sheep raised by farmers. When the money was given, the other party immediately sold the sheep, and their attitude was unbelievably good.
Li Shi could just take this opportunity to make Wei Zishan realize the gap between Jiang Ning and them.
"I can pay more, and you can give me the bucket together." Li Shi thought carefully.
Jiang Ning ignored her at all and walked past her, leaving a message:
“What makes you think I’d sell?”
Xue Yuantong followed Jiang Ning and became the most loyal follower.
Xue Chuchu added: "We are going to eat it ourselves."
Unlike Tongtong, who is silly all day long, Xue Chuchu is reasonable, smart and intelligent, and can clearly judge the plans of the two girls.
Wei Zishan and Li Shi watched the three of them go away.
Li Shi's face didn't look good, "If you don't want to sell it, forget it. If you don't want to make money, it's up to them."
Wei Zishan scratched her hair, feeling that she had no idea where to start. She couldn't find Jiang Ning's weak spot. Unlike the boys she flirted with before, she only needed to seduce him, and he would immediately follow her like a pug.
However, Jiang Ning was different. She didn't take any initiative at all, so she didn't know how to proceed to the next step.
For the first time, Wei Zishan experienced the difficult challenges faced by ordinary boys when choosing a mate.
…
Xue Yuantong quickly forgot what had just happened. She considered the seasonings at home, onions, garlic, etc. Well, there was not much ginger.
When stewing loach, it is best to use ginger.
"Chu Chu, do you have ginger at home?" Xue Yuantong asked.
Xue Chuchu: "I only have a little bit at home, and ginger is too expensive recently so I don't buy much."
"Yes, my mother said last time that ginger in the vegetable market sold for 8 yuan per pound, which has increased several times." Xue Yuantong said in surprise.
"Well, last year the price of ginger was so cheap that many people stopped growing it. Today the price suddenly increased." Xue Chuchu read the news and knew the reason.
"Let's go to Heba to see if there is anything for sale." Xue Yuantong said.
After saying that, they carried the bucket up to the river dam. Xue Yuantong's face was still muddy and his clothes were stained with dirt. In addition, he carried the bucket. People passing by took a look and guessed that they were catching loaches.
Everyone was amazed that they could still catch loaches.
There is a vegetable stall next to the river dam. Vegetables such as green onions, tomatoes, and ginger are placed on plastic sheets.
Xue Yuantong touched the ginger and asked the stall owner: "How much does it cost per pound?"
The old man said: "Ginger is very expensive now, 9 yuan a pound."
This price is comparable to pork.
When Xue Yuantong heard the price, he was heartbroken, but when cooking loach, you can't miss out on ginger.
She picked a few pieces and weighed them on an electronic scale. They weighed more than a pound.
Jiang Ning's consciousness wandered around and found that there was something fishy about the electronic scale.
