Fisherman

Chapter 19

In the afternoon, the rain stopped, and the thin sunlight shone through the dense leaves.

After being robbed in the cave, everyone kept an eye out for it. Although Zhao Qian gave them a stern blow, but people's hearts are not old, and no one can say whether they have a good memory, especially when everyone goes to the village in the morning. Some fish were caught in the river, but fish are no easier to handle than fruit.

When Zhao Qian and the others went out, there were several more people left in the cave than in the morning, and only a few women and brothers were allowed to go out to dig wild vegetables.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Zhao Qian took the basket that old man Li had woven, glanced at the weather outside, and asked Brother Zhou who was sitting on the ground.

Brother Zhou was a little surprised, he was usually not allowed to wander around, but today he actually asked him if he wanted to go out.

"I'm afraid I won't be of much help when I go out."

"It's okay. I've been in the cave for two days. If you're bored, I'll take you out."

Brother Zhou hesitated, he really wanted to go out.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Qian bent down to give him a hand, and he stood up.

"The sun outside is nice. We're going to catch fish later. You just have to watch from the side." He handed over the basket in his hand, squatted down and motioned to carry him on his back: "Come up."

Brother Zhou stared at Zhao Qian, but this time he hugged his shoulders and climbed up honestly. The people in the cave looked at the two of them and were stunned for a moment. .”

"It's okay." Zhao Qian raised her eyebrows and went outside with her back behind her back.

Everyone in the cave laughed.

Brother Zhou hung his hands on Zhao Qian's chest and said, "Brother Zhao seems to like joking with the folks."

"Am I joking? We have a bad relationship?"

"That was not what I meant."

Zhao Qian smiled.

Seeing the two talking and laughing, Hu Lingling walked towards the sun, and grabbed her elder brother's hand: "I also want to go out and watch everyone catch fish."

"What are you doing, the road outside is not easy!" Hu San'er disagreed with her sister's request.

"I know to be careful!"

"Let Lingling go out if she wants to go out!" A young man standing beside Hu San'er said with a smile, "Look at brother Zhou who can't even walk, so let's go out as usual."

Hu San'er sighed, looked at her pouting sister, and shook her head: "I really can't do anything with you, let's go."

It was raining heavily at noon, although it was sunny now, the woods were still wet, and when we got to the riverside, we couldn't find a dry place to sit. Zhao Qian put Brother Zhou down and chopped off a piece of wood. The banana leaf used the reverse side to cushion the stone and let him sit down.

Everyone continued to work by the river and stream, doing the work interrupted in the morning.

The water in the river is still quite deep. Zhao Qian can reach his knees when he goes down. He caught more than a dozen fish in the morning. Just relying on sharp wooden sticks to insert the fish is very inefficient. However, this afternoon, he brought the old man Li to make a simple Fishing nets are much more convenient for catching fish, and it didn't take long to catch several fish.

The big grass carp weighing three to four catties was tumbling in the fishing net, and Hu San'er dragged it to the shore: "Master Li's net is quite strong, and it is not broken after such a toss."

"No, Master Li is an old craft."

Everyone was groping in the river with their buttocks pouted, chatting about Master Li's craftsmanship, a man suddenly ran over in a panic, his mouth was wide open, but his voice was very low, his yellow face was full of joy: "Trap!" There's something in there!"

"Really?" Hu San'er's fishing net fell to the ground, surprise almost overflowing his eyes.

"Really! It's still a big thing!"

Hearing this, all the men in the river jumped onto the bank, and ran barefooted with the men who brought the news. The traps for catching prey were not around the small river. When Zhao Qian stood up straight, the men in the river Everyone had finished running, and he walked ashore slowly.

"Brother Zhao, don't you want to see it?" Brother Zhou stretched his neck to look back, and asked the person in front of him.

"So many of them have passed by, it doesn't matter if I go or not." Simply, he sat down beside Brother Zhou: "I'll stay and watch the fish."

After speaking, he got up and put the fish in the basket into the small recess to ensure that the fish had water to drink and would not sit back after drying out.

"A lot of fish were caught today, and there are fish to eat tonight."

Brother Zhou nodded, and the two of them sat side by side on the stone with their elbows leaning together, and finally had a little time alone. Brother Zhou felt that his mood was as empty as the sunny weather, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: " hiss!"

He covered his mouth reflexively, forgetting that there was a wound on his face, and the corner of his mouth was pulled.

Zhao Qian looked away at him: "What's the matter?"

Brother Zhou was a little embarrassed: "It's okay."

"Did you get to your mouth?" Zhao Qian took his hand away and looked at his young and vigorous face. Apart from a little scratch on the cheekbone, the wound on the corner of the mouth was more obvious. It was fine in the morning. Now half of the mouth is slightly swollen, and red bloodshots can be seen on the corner of the broken mouth, like a high school student who has fought with someone and is not afraid of pain.

He reached out and touched his swollen skin lightly. He didn't know whether it was because of an injury or something. The boy's lips were much redder than usual. He raised his head, and a pair of clear eyes fell into his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. After a while, the hand that paused, seemed to change its taste in the movement, and the soothing turned into a caress.

He held Brother Zhou's face with one hand, his heart was turbulent, and suddenly, by accident, he turned his face and covered the corner of his injured mouth with his lips, and exhaled softly: "Does it hurt?"

Brother Zhou suddenly turned into a wooden stake, his tall nose brushed against his face, his heart trembled, as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes widened a little bit, blood rushing to his forehead, startled Huo retreated awkwardly, suddenly fell from the narrow stone, and fell into the grass behind him.

"Zhao Qian! See what our traps have caught!"

Hu San'er and a few men walked over with a black-haired wild goat on their shoulders, shouting from afar!When he got closer, he saw Zhao Qian frowned and tried to pull Brother Zhou who had fallen into the grass. He was surprised and said, "What's wrong? Why did Brother Zhou fall?"

Brother Zhou's complexion was a little pale, his eyes dodged and he quickly waved his hands: "I'm fine."

Everyone was filled with the joy of catching the prey, and they didn't notice the abnormality of the two of them. They talked non-stop, expounding the joy in their hearts.

"Let's take the guy back! Have a good meal tonight!" Hu San'er suggested, and everyone cheered in unison.

Zhao Qian pinched the Jingming acupoint, and when he saw Brother Zhou's reaction, he was secretly annoyed, and scolded himself in his heart for what he was doing!

He coughed dryly: "Go back."

Brother Zhou didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, and turned his head awkwardly.

Zhao Qian walked back with his back on his back, Hu San'er was chattering all the way, he was distracted, he didn't listen to a word, he just answered randomly in a calm voice.
