Fisherman

On a sunny day when the sun has been out, it is much warmer to sleep at night.

After a few days of hard work, every household in the cave now has its own palm mat, which is warm during the day and much warmer when lying on it at night, and the back is not so uncomfortable.

Except that the cushions are a bit narrow, the conditions are really much better than before.

Zhao Qian was lying on the mat. The careless man felt that he was sleeping on the small bed in the village before. He didn't dare to move. He carefully rolled over his back a few times, opened one eye and took a sneak peek at Brother Zhou beside him. The breathing is steady, it should be asleep.

He secretly stretched out his hand, his heart was beating a little fast, he wanted to touch Brother Zhou's face, as long as it was fast enough, no one would see it!As soon as the hand reached the man's ear, a humming sound that made people think suddenly made his hand stop.

"Be quiet! It would be too embarrassing to wake everyone up!"

Zhao Qian quickly put down his hands and leaned against Brother Zhou. As a man who has grown up for many years, it is impossible for him not to know what is going on.

He squinted his eyes and glanced into the cave for a few times. The couple sleeping in the furthest part were turning slightly, their breathing sound was very rapid. Although they were lowering their voices as much as possible, they seemed to be unable to restrain themselves. The son is also normal, but living in groups seems to be a bit too menglang.

He moved his body, damn it, he cursed secretly, he suffered such a crime for not going to bed earlier!

The movement in the cave became louder and louder. Brother Zhou, who had been sleeping quietly, suddenly became a little disorganized in his steady breathing, and he opened his eyes in a daze.

Zhao Qian's eyes were sharp and his hands quickly stopped, hugging Zhou Ge'er's head and covering his ears, Zhou Ge'er, who was in a daze, was startled: "Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Qian was silent for a moment, and organized his words: "It's just... a little cold, I know you are cold, so you won't be cold anymore."

Brother Zhou wanted to say that he was not cold, the charcoal fire was still warm, and he slept on a mattress tonight, so it was much warmer than usual, but he didn't say anything, and leaned against Zhao Qian obediently.

Zhao Qian hugged the person into her arms, and she really looked a little cold.

Brother Zhou couldn't hold his eyelids, it was already the middle of the night, he was half asleep, and he said in a sticky voice, "Brother Zhao."

"Huh?" Zhao Qian swallowed, he couldn't hear Brother Zhou calling him in the middle of the night.

"Can you just let me call you Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Qian was sweating a little and said hoarsely, "Okay."

Early the next morning, when it was still gray outside, Zhao Qian called everyone up.

Hu San'er lay on the mat with a long face, wailing: "Zhao Qian, what are you doing calling everyone up so early!"

"Yesterday was the first time you slept, haven't you woken up yet!" I haven't slept all night!Of course, he didn't say anything later.

Although the folks are a little dissatisfied, they are still very cooperative.

"Let me announce something to everyone! From today, everyone will dig a small cave to sleep in this big cave! Then build a boat, go out to buy supplies at that time, and build a house on the top of the mountain to live in."

This is the result of his thinking about it all night last night.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was a little stunned: "Why do you suddenly want to dig a small cave to build a house?"

"It's impossible for us to sleep in a cave all the time, and it's good for everyone to sleep separately! The house will be built sooner or later. With a house, it won't be so cold when you sleep at night. It will be much better in winter. The ventilation in the cave is not very good. I'm afraid everyone will be poisoned."

What Zhao Qian said is half-true and half-false. Everyone is discussing it. In fact, everyone has felt it these days. It is not inconvenient to work together during the day, but it is really not good for men and women to sleep together at night. Waking up at night or something , Wake others up and don't say anything, it's a little embarrassing to be known to go out to relieve yourself.

Everyone talked fiercely for a while, and someone asked, "Zhao Qian, do you feel that everyone is dragging you down?"

"I never meant it that way. I'm just talking about the inconvenience for everyone. When the time comes, we'll build the house together, and we won't separate until every family has lived in it. Let's see how it goes."

The folks were silent for a while. Now that life has gradually stabilized, it is necessary to go out to build a ship. It is time for everyone to think about it. Last night, the couple took the lead in agreeing to Zhao Qian's proposal. Zhao Qian squinted and touched I touched my nose, it would be strange if the two of them didn't agree, and then one after another, villagers also agreed.

In the end, everyone reached a consensus. In addition to finding food, there are new tasks, such as digging caves, building boats, and building houses in the longer term.

Everyone got busy working like chicken blood, Brother Zhou was still a little confused, so: "Brother Zhao, why did you suddenly think of such an arrangement."

With a knife on his waist, Zhao Qian looked like he was going to do a big fight: "I'm doing it for everyone's benefit!"

Brother Zhou didn't know how to answer his words.

"Okay, you are in the cave, let's go out and chop trees to make a boat."

Fishermen living by the sea know more or less how boats are made. Under the leadership of Zhao Qian, everyone went to cut suitable trees together.

But there were only a few tools, and there were not even two knives. Zhao Qian had to choose a few people who had experience in shipbuilding to stay, and the rest continued to find food to store food, and assigned a few people to stay in the cave to plan new small pieces. Caves for sleeping at night.

Cutting down trees with a sickle was really laborious and slow. There was only one axe. Zhao Qian gave it to Hu San'er, and he used the sickle himself. He was sweating profusely and could only hear the sound of chopping trees.

"Brother Zhao, are you cutting down trees?"

"Brother Zhao, what are you cutting down trees for?"

After searching around for a long time, Cao Fang found Zhao Qian, holding two wild vegetables, and stood behind Zhao Qian with a smile to say hello, but Zhao Qian didn't hear her when she shouted a few times, Hu San'er stopped her staff and yelled Zhao Qian finally realized it.

He looked at Cao Fang who seemed to have not seen him for a long time, his face was much sharper than when he saw it before, as if he had been hungry for a long time: "What's the matter?"

Cao Fang pinched the corner of her clothes, raised her head, and said with a smile on her face, "It's nothing, I just came out to dig wild vegetables, and I saw you chopping wood and said hello."

"Oh." Zhao Qian responded and turned back to continue cutting the tree.

Cao Fang's face turned blue and red, and she did not give up: "I see some wild vegetables here, I am afraid that I will meet wild animals elsewhere, can I just dig wild vegetables here?"

Zhao Qian waved the sickle and said casually, "Just ask Hu San'er."

"Don't everyone listen to you?"

"Listen to me, everyone has their own ideas." Zhao Qian sighed, not wanting to talk to the people behind him, and dismissed: "You can dig here if you want."

Hearing this, Cao Fang finally looked better, with a smile, and started looking for wild vegetables around.

Seeing this, Hu San'er moved closer to Zhao Qian's side: "Hey, now all the little girls are here to show their love to you."

Zhao Qian withdrew his hand, handed the sickle to Hu San'er, and snatched the ax back: "You think you're bored, don't you, so use the sickle to sharpen your strength?"

Hu San'er held the sickle in his hand, and was about to say that he would stop talking nonsense, and wanted the ax back, when Cao Fang called out delicately.

"What's wrong?" Hu Saner asked instead.

Cao Fang clutched her ankle, with tears in her big eyes. Seeing that Zhao Qian didn't ask, she bit her lower lip and shook her head stubbornly, showing pity for me.

"Did you sprain your ankle?"

Hu San'er is honest, he is really worried.

Cao Fang nodded.

Hu San'er hurried over to help her up, looked at her ankle, it was a little red: "Don't hurt your bones."

Cao Fang shook her head, ignored Hu San'er, looked at Zhao Qian eagerly, and called weakly, "Brother Zhao."

Zhao Qian threw the ax on the tree impatiently: "What else do you want to do?"

Cao Fang was taken aback by his tone, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry.

"Why are you talking to the little girl like that?" Seeing that Cao Fang was about to cry, Hu San'er quickly winked at the fierce Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian didn't accept it: "I talk to everyone like this."

Seeing that he didn't care, Hu Saner didn't know what to do when he was in trouble, and his face was anxious.

"Brother, Brother Zhao, I brought you water!" Hu Lingling ran over with a jar, looked at her elder brother supporting Cao Fang, and asked doubtfully, "Sister Fangfang is here too, what's wrong?"

As if relieved, Hu San'er quickly asked Lingling to support Cao Fang, and took the water jar by herself: "Cao Fang's ankle is sprained, please send her back properly."

"A sprained ankle? Are you okay!" Lingling looked at Cao Fang and said with relief, "Sister Fangfang, hold on, I'll send you back right away."

After walking a few steps, Lingling confessed to the two big men again: "You guys also received the work earlier, and the aunts have started cooking."

No matter how reluctant Cao Fang was to leave, she still had to save face, she couldn't continue to embarrass herself here, she turned her head to look at Zhao Qian, and asked Hu Lingling to support her: "It's troublesome."

"It's fine."

The two walked slowly into the forest, and Cao Fang's eyes stopped being red, and she asked casually, "I heard that brother Zhao has changed a lot now, and he helps the villagers in everything."

Hu Lingling blinked her eyes: "Yes, everyone likes Brother Zhao very much now."

After a pause, she continued: "Everyone says Brother Zhao is not only capable, but also a person who loves Fu Lang very much. Everyone envies his relationship with Brother Zhou."

Cao Fang chuckled, she always felt that this girl was telling her about it on purpose.

"Am I taking you back to the cave directly?"

"Ah." Cao busy eyes turned, a trace of cunning flashed past, and then his face showed pain: "My foot hurts badly, I want to rest for a while, it seems that I will go to your cave, can I go in and rest for a while ?”

Hu Lingling looked down at her feet and said, "Okay."

When the two arrived at the cave, everyone surrounded them curiously: "Oh, what's wrong with Cao Fang?"

Although there was a gap between the two caves due to the previous incident, Cao Fang usually did a good job in the village. When she went to the cave and called her aunt and uncle, everyone would not put on a face. After all, the villagers in the village have lived together for many years. Watching these kids grow up.

"I accidentally sprained the wild vegetables and disturbed everyone. My mother will come to pick me up in a while."

"Look at what this kid is saying, sit carefully."

Cao Fang smiled obediently, and caught a glimpse of Zhou Geer who was sitting on the side making the basket. She asked Lingling to do the work, and limped to Zhou Geer's side.

Brother Zhou raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. He didn't say a word, and continued to work on his staff. Of course, he didn't want to see Cao Fang, but everyone asked her to stay, so he didn't have much to say.

Cao Fang chuckled and stared at Brother Zhou, trying to get Brother Zhou's attention, but Brother Zhou didn't even raise his eyelids.

After coughing dryly, she had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "Look at the two of us, we are really unlucky to have hurt our feet."

"so what?"

Brother Zhou lowered his head and threw out three words indifferently.

"So this is probably why Zhao Qian likes you."

The thoughtless words successfully attracted Brother Zhou's attention, and he stared at Cao Fang with a slight smile.

Cao Fang had long-lost self-confidence in her eyes: Zhao Qian can't handle it, but he doesn't believe that he can't handle you.
