Chang Le's family has fishing nets, which Yu Qingze saw when he woke up on the first day.
After waking up from a nap in the afternoon, Chang Le took out the fishing net and put it into the wooden barrel. The long bamboo pole passed through the wooden barrel and carried it on his shoulders, ready to set off.
At this time, Chang Hao was still asleep.
"Brother Le, aren't you waiting for Xiaohao?" Yu Qingze woke up when he heard the movement, and asked when Changle was ready at the door of the kitchen. Hearing Chang Hao's tone in the morning, he was clearly looking forward to fishing.
Chang Le shook his hand, indicating that he would go alone. After making the gesture, he walked out.
Yu Qingze quickly followed and said, "I'll go with you."
Chang Le blinked and waved his hand in disapproval.
Yu Qingze said, "Brother Le, I have never caught fish before, and I want to learn from you."
Chang Le gestured for a paddling motion.
Yu Qingze guessed that he should be asked if he could swim, so he nodded and said, "I can swim, and it should be pretty good."
Chang Le originally wanted to refuse, but when Chang Hao turned over in the hall, he hurriedly nodded and walked out. If he doesn't leave, Chang Hao wakes up, he doesn't want to take his brother there.
The house is not far from the river, and it takes less than ten minutes to arrive.
There is a simple small pier by the river, which the villagers built with stones, and there are some slates on the side, which can be used to wash clothes. Sometimes when the water in the creek is low in winter, people from the village come here to wash their clothes. There are three wooden stakes on the other side of the pier, and three small fishing boats are tied.
There was a small wooden house on the shore. An old man was mending the fishing net at the door. When he saw Chang Le, he said cheerfully, "Brother Le, are you going to fish today? Are you busy in the fields?"
Chang Le smiled and nodded, making a gesture.
The old man replied, "I didn't go today. The net broke yesterday, and I'm making up for it. Go ahead. At this moment, most of the fish are hiding in the shade of the trees."
Chang Le nodded and took Yu Qingze to the side of the boat.
Behind, the old man shouted again: "Don't go too far, call me if you have something!"
Chang Le nodded, waved at the old man, then bent down and untied the rope of the boat on the right, dragged the boat to the shore, waited for Yu Qingze to go up, and then went up himself.
When Yu Qingze was a child, he also rode this kind of small fishing boat at his grandfather's house. Once he got up, the boat would sway. At that time, he was always afraid that the boat would overturn and fall into the river, so he had to hold the side of the boat tightly with both hands. His grandfather always laughed at him, afraid that he would come up again.
Now I am not afraid, but my grandfather is long gone.
Yu Qingze shook his head, adjusted his mood, and sat down at the other end.
Chang Le put the fishing net and bucket in place, and the long bamboo pole propped up, and the boat gradually moved away from the shore.
At this time, a small figure on the shore rushed over, shouting as he ran, "Brother! Big Brother Yu! Wait for me! I'm going too!"
But the boat did not stop and did not return.
Chang Hao on the shore was anxious and angry when he saw it, but his brother didn't take him there! So angry!
The old man smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't catch up again, what a pity..."
Chang Hao glared at the old man angrily and said, "Grandpa, why don't you let my brother wait for me for a while!"
The old man was obviously very familiar with them, and said, "Your brother has the intention not to let you follow, what can I do?"
Hearing this, Chang Hao stopped talking and sat on the stone angrily, looking at the boat eagerly.
Yu Qingze saw the young boy sitting there by the shore, and asked Chang Le, "Are you always like this?"
Chang Le turned around and nodded with helplessness on his face. The younger brother always wanted to come with him, but the younger brother was still young, he was afraid...
The river is very wide, and if you look in the past, you can only see a vague shadow on the other side, at least a thousand or two kilometers. The water was sparkling, and river gulls flew over from time to time.
Chang Le propped up the boat and did not go to the middle, but went to a position downstream, just over a hundred meters from the shore, changing the pole to the oar, and observing while paddling. The weather was too hot at the moment, and many fish would go to the shore to cool off. Finally, Chang Le seemed to see a school of fish and stopped.
Yu Qingze had never caught fish, so he watched.
I saw Chang Le put down the anchor, took the fishing net, straightened it out, held one-third of the net and some of the nets with his left hand, hung the nets on his thumb with his right hand, and held the rest of the nets. Then look at the surface of the water and cast the net out. (Note 1)
Chang Le's movements were smooth and smooth, the fishing net opened and jumped into the water like a big hood.
When the line ends, the fishing net sinks into the water. After a while, Chang Le slowly retracts the net.
The fishing net was out of the water, and Yu Qingze was pleasantly surprised to find that there were really fish inside, and there were three or four more.
"Hey, there are four! Hey, what kind of fish is this?" When Chang Le got the net on the cabin, Yu Qingze walked over to help get the fish out, but found that the bigger fish with the pattern on its back didn't know him. Possibly a unique species here.
Chang Le made two gestures, but unfortunately Yu Qingze couldn't understand it.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
Chang Le opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound in the end. He slumped his shoulders in frustration.
Yu Qingze scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Go back and ask Xiaohao and grandpa."
Chang Le could only helplessly nodded.
All the fish in the net were taken out. One of them was relatively small, and Chang Le released it. Then they cast their nets in different places, sometimes they catch fish, sometimes they don't.
"Brother Le, can you give me a try?" Yu Qingze was itching to see Chang Le sprinkle a few hands.
Chang Le nodded simply and handed him the straightened fishing net.
Yu Qingze took it over, recalled Chang Le's movements, grasped the right and left hands, and felt that there was no problem, and asked Chang Le: "Is that so?"
Chang Le raised the rope on the top of the net in front of him.
"Oh, I forgot, this is going to be wrapped around my hands." Yu Qingze took it over embarrassedly and wrapped it again.
It's very dangerous, if the whole net is thrown out, then don't you have to go down the river to catch the net
Afterwards, Yu Qingze imitated Chang Le, turned his body to the right, and threw the fishing net in his hand towards the place where the fish were swimming.
huh-huh-
Along with the sound of the wind breaking and falling into the water as the fishing net was thrown out, there was also a cry of surprise from Yu Qingze.
"Ah—" He exerted too much force, the boat swayed, his body was pulled by the fishing net and lost his balance with inertia, and he was about to fall into the river. Yu Qingze closed his eyes subconsciously, thinking that he must fall into the water.
What a shame! Still in front of Brother Le. Yu Qingze's head flashed this line of big characters.
At a critical moment, a strong arm wrapped around Yu Qingze's waist and pulled him back.
Quick response, quick action, in one go, not sloppy at all.
The key is that, with a lot of strength, Yu Qingze was picked up and held in his arms in one fell swoop!
When the two turned over, the boat received uneven force and swayed from side to side.
Yu Qingze didn't have much experience in this kind of boat, so he couldn't grasp the balance at once, and his body swayed.
As soon as he swayed, the boat swayed even more, and the river water was about to sway in.
Chang Le at the back was helpless and couldn't make a sound. He also put his other hand up, and with both hands, he simply hugged Yu Qingze by the waist.
"Wow—" Yu Qingze screamed in fright when his feet suddenly left the ground and his body lost a landing point.
After reacting immediately, he was almost ashamed.
Yu Qingze: ... Might as well fall into the river!
After a while, without his 'disturbance', the boat calmed down, only rippling gently with the river.
Frightened, embarrassed again.
Yu Qingze bowed his head, but the slender arms around his waist held him tightly. He could clearly feel the strength and temperature on Chang Le's arms, as well as the tightness of the body from his back through the clothes of the two. Sticky warm feeling.
Inexplicably, he felt a little hot around his waist, as well as where his back was touching Chang Le's chest and abdomen...
Yu Qingze's heart moved. It was the first time for him to have such intimate physical contact with an adult male. It was different from the physical contact with his comrades when he was in the army. It was hot, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated involuntarily, a touch that made him a little fanciful.
Yu Qingze: ... Although this posture is not right now, but after 28 years of vegetarianism, my heart is a little turbulent, it must be because the boat is rippling!
He likes men, and he is an upright, energetic and energetic young man who has been single for 28 years!
Being hugged by a man around his waist like this, he was still a good-looking man, and his heart suddenly became dishonest.
Feeling that his thoughts were a little impure, Yu Qingze secretly despised himself in his heart, and quickly shook his head to stop his 'spring heart' from continuing to swing.
He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "... Cough, that, Brother Le, thank you, it's really thanks to you, otherwise I'd fall into the river."
Chang Le also seemed to realize that he was still holding a man, put him down with a 'dong', and let go of his arm.
Yu Qingze tidied up his clothes, and then turned his head, only to find that Chang Le was already squatting in front of the bucket with his back on his back and didn't know what to do, but looking at his ears, they were already red.
Yu Qingze, who was about to thank him, blinked:…
Just wait a while and talk.
Yu Qingze's right hand was still holding the rope of the fishing net, and the fishing net had already sunk. He waited for a while, but he didn't see Chang Le turning around, so he put away the net himself.
"Hey, Brother Le, there are fish!" When he dragged the fishing net to the front, Yu Qingze saw two fish in the net, and was so happy that he forgot the embarrassment just now.
For the first time in my life, I used a fishing net to catch fish. The net was not well cast, and I almost fell into the water, but I still caught two stupid fish!
Very surprised!
Chang Le heard the words and finally turned around, his face was still a little red, but seeing that there was no strange color on Yu Qingze's face, he was quietly relieved. I was really rude just now, but luckily the other party didn't seem to care.
Then he was quickly infected by Yu Qingze's happiness, and happily helped him lift the fishing net.
Afterwards, the two of them tacitly did not mention what happened just now.
When they finally returned, there were already more than a dozen fish in the bucket.
The young boy Chang Hao was still waiting for them on the stone.
Waiting for them to land, Chang Hao asked curiously, "How did you hug each other just now?"
One sentence embarrassed both of them.
Naturally, Chang Le couldn't answer this matter. Yu Qingze poked himself at the scar very considerately: "... I accidentally lost my footing and almost fell into the river. Your brother fished me up."
It's really a very simple, very simple incident of saving people, and it really restores the truth, but both Yu Qingze and Chang Le blushed. Of course, the meaning of blush is different.
Chang Hao gave a long 'oh', although he felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he could only believe it for the time being.
Immediately, he began to remember the old accounts they didn't take with him, and looked at them all the way with resentful and condemning eyes, making Yu Qingze and Chang Le dumbfounded.
Afterwards, Yu Qingze finally realized that the fish he didn't know was called Qingyu. It was a unique fish species in the Qinghe River, and the meat was very tender.
He steamed one at night and tasted it, and it tasted really good.
Early the next morning, when the sky was still bright, they set off for the city.
Chang Le carried vegetables at one end and fish at the other, and walked in front easily.
Chang Hao and Yu Qingze walked behind.
They walked from the village road for a few minutes to the official road, and after walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the county seat - Tongshan City.
The author has something to say: Note 1: The casting action is Baidu's. I saw it when I was a kid, but I don't remember the exact action.
small theater:
Yu Qingze: ... I must be on a fake boat!
Chang Le silently gave Xiaochuan a thumbs up.
