Chapter 3 Want to fish
Chapter 3 Want to Fish
“Brother, what is this?”
Xiaoyan has been obediently watching Lu Qing's busy work. After he finished making the fishing rod, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
“This is called a fishing rod and is used for fishing. Whether we have anything to eat today depends on it.”
Lu Qing waved the bamboo pole and tried the feel, and was somewhat satisfied.
He was a fishing enthusiast in his previous life. When he became interested, he would also like to make some small poles for fun.
I didn’t expect that this skill would come in handy here.
The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, can you catch fish?"
“We can’t say for sure whether we can catch it. Let’s try it first. If we really catch a fish, we will have fish soup to drink.”
"Fish soup..." Xiaoyan fell into fantasy when she heard these two words, and her saliva could not help but drip from the corners of her mouth.
“Brother, let’s go fishing quickly!”
The little guy is already a little impatient.
The last time she ate fish was a long, long time ago. During the Chinese New Year, her father bought a big fish from the market.
In her memory, fish is very delicious.
“Don’t be so anxious, we still need to prepare some bait.”
It was not difficult to find bait. Lu Qing found the bait he needed with two shovels on a relatively cool and fertile piece of land in the corner of the yard.
【Red earthworms: A good helper for loosening soil, and it seems that they can also be used as medicine. 】
Ignoring the message that appeared on the earthworm, Lu Qing put it into a bamboo tube.
He dug this thing not to use it as medicine, and he didn’t understand medical skills.
After sealing the bamboo tube, leaving only one air hole, carrying a fishing rod on their backs and an old wooden barrel in their hands, the two brothers began to walk out majestically.
As soon as I left the small courtyard and walked not far into the village, I was stopped by a woman.
“Lu Qing, your illness has recovered and you can walk?”
The woman was holding a plate of clothes, which she had obviously just returned from washing.
Her tone was full of surprise.
It's not that the Lu family boy is seriously ill and doesn't have much energy anymore. Even old doctor Chen went to see him and said he could only rely on destiny.
How come it’s only been a day and you’re so alive and ready to go out?
Just last night, the villagers were still discussing when to collect his body.
“Yes, Aunt Wang, somehow, after sleeping for two days, my illness gradually improved and I could get up in the morning.”
Lu Qing answered according to the original owner's previous tone.
Fortunately, the original owner used to have a quiet and melancholy temperament, so it is not difficult to imitate him.
“My brother drank Grandpa Chen’s medicine and recovered instantly!” Xiaoyan on the side interjected.
Aunt Wang didn't have the time to pay attention to any changes in Lu Qing's personality. Seeing that Lu Qing seemed to be getting better, she also smiled.
He kept saying: "It's good when it's done, it's good when it's done."
At the same time, I felt relieved.
In the past two days, several elderly people in the village visited Lu Qing and later said that he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to survive this test.
Everyone was talking about what Lu Xiaoyan would do if the Lu family boy was really gone.
The opinion of the elders is that one household in the village should adopt Xiaoyan, and everyone else should contribute some money, which will be counted as her nutrition.
It's so good that his man came back and said he wanted to adopt Xiaoyan. He said that the old man of the Lu family had been kind to him when we all fled together, and he couldn't leave the last part of his blood unattended.
Aunt Wang would naturally not be happy to have an extra oil bottle for no reason.
But she did not dare to refute her man face to face, so she could only pray that Lu Qing could survive it.
Now that Lu Qing is really well, she is sincerely happy.
Thinking of this, Aunt Wang said to Lu Qing sincerely: "Lu Qing, you have to take good care of yourself in the future. Xiaoyan only has you as her only relative to rely on now. What will she do if she is no longer here? .”
Lu Qing was a little surprised.
In the memory of the original owner, this Aunt Wang did not seem to be such a warm-hearted person.
However, he still responded politely, "I understand. Thank you Aunt Wang for your concern. I will take good care of Xiaoyan."
“Well, this is a good boy.” Aunt Wang was satisfied.
As long as Lu Qing is still here, the men in her family will not have the idea of adopting Xiaoyan, and she will no longer have to worry. After her mood improved, Aunt Wang discovered what the brother and sister were holding.
“You guys are holding both a wooden barrel and a bamboo pole. What are you going to do?”
“Aunt Wang, my brother and I are going to catch fish!” Xiaoyan said happily.
“Catch fish?” Aunt Wang asked doubtfully.
What kind of fish can be caught with just a bamboo pole and a broken wooden barrel?
She suddenly reacted when she thought of the current situation of the Lu family.
I'm afraid these two brothers and sisters are hungry and want to go down to the river to catch fish?
Aunt Wang said quickly: "You must be hungry, come on, come home with me. Aunt Wang still has some food. Lu Qing, your body is just fine. Why don't you go into the river? Don't wait until you catch a cold and get sick again."
“Don’t worry, Aunt Wang, we won’t go into the river, so we’ll just try to catch fish on the bank.” Lu Qing smiled and refused.
Having a free meal is certainly good, but the two siblings can't always rely on the villagers for help.
In that case, no matter how much affection you have, one day it will be exhausted.
“Fishing? Lu Qing, do you know how to do this?” Aunt Wang was surprised.
She naturally knows what fishing is, but there seems to be no one in the village who is good at this skill. Lu Qing actually understands it?
“I just know a little bit about it. I heard it from my father before, so I wanted to give it a try.” Lu Qing replied.
Aunt Wang then remembered that Lu Qing's father was literate and often ran outside. He was much more knowledgeable than the villagers like them.
Perhaps he knows some special method.
However, Aunt Wang is still a little worried: "It's not urgent at this moment. You have just recovered a little. You should rest more. Is the fish so easy to catch? Don't stay in the wind for a long time by the river. The fish will not be there." If you catch it, you’ll catch a cold again.”
In case Lu Qing fell ill again, it would be difficult to say if he could survive it again with his thin body.
Lu Qing heard the concern in her tone and was a little moved in her heart.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Wang, I will pay attention and I will never be pushy.”
Aunt Wang tried to persuade her again, but when she saw that she couldn't stop, she could only say: "Then you have to promise Aunt Wang not to go into the river."
“Okay, we will never go into the river. Goodbye, Aunt Wang.”
Aunt Wang watched the two Lu Qing brothers and sisters walking out of the village, and suddenly she became excited.
“By the way, I need to tell that stubborn person at home quickly that the Lu family boy has come back to life, so that he can stop wanting to adopt the little girl.”
Aunt Wang hurried home, and brother and sister Lu Qing met a few more people from the village as they walked out.
Every villager was shocked when they saw Lu Qing and asked him how he recovered from his illness.
At this time, Xiaoyan would happily tell them that her brother got better after drinking Grandpa Chen’s medicine.
While everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but respect Dr. Chen even more.
The old doctor's medical skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. He is able to save even a person like Lu Qing who has only one breath left. It is really amazing.
After being amazed, everyone was happy for the Lu family. After all, Lu Qing was not dead, and the blood of the Lu family could be considered preserved.
When they learned that Lu Qing was going to the river to catch fish, they all advised him that he should not touch cold water again after recovering from a serious illness.
Until Lu Qing repeatedly assured him that he would not go into the river, he stopped trying to dissuade him.
And after they heard that Lu Qing was going fishing, they lost interest.
Fishing, who doesn’t know this?
Some villagers have even tried fishing themselves.
After all, river fish are fat and ownerless, so who wouldn’t be greedy for them?
But everyone who tried it eventually gave up.
Because in their opinion, fishing is really too difficult.
We often stay for half a day, and we may only catch one or two small fish.
Even if you can occasionally catch a bigger fish, it’s not worth it.
Who doesn’t have a lot of farm work to do? Just for one or two fish, so much time is wasted. How can we live longer?
With the farmland at home abandoned, no farm work to do, and no food left, so he just thought about catching two fish to satisfy his hunger.
After knowing what Lu Qing was thinking, everyone stopped trying to stop him. They just said a few words and then dispersed.
On the contrary, several half-year-old children became more interested after hearing what Lu Qing said.
Following behind them, he also went to the river, wanting to see how he fished.
