Chapter 21 Fishing Again

As the saying goes, it’s cold before frost and cold after snow.

The freezing weather cannot stop the villagers from dreaming of getting rich.

The riverside has been particularly lively recently.

Since the three Jiang brothers caught two big fish in the river, many villagers have been wandering by the river with iron fork and iron hook nets, hoping that they can also encounter that kind of good luck.

After waiting for more than ten days, I was surprised not to see a single shrimp.

“Hey, tell me, why are the Jiang brothers so lucky?”

Some villagers were puzzled.

"First I encountered a herd of deer and came back after hunting three deer. Now I caught a sturgeon, which is so big. It only appears in big rivers. Why did it end up in our little river? ?”

“Hehe, there is a little fairy boy in the Jiang family. Of course he is lucky.” A villager said in a strange tone.

“Hey, don’t say it, this is really what happened.”

Another villager echoed, repeating the old story: "Look at Jiang San, that woman has not been pregnant for ten years. She just picked up the cherry blossom and became pregnant within a few months, and she was pregnant with two boys. Now she is getting rich one after another. , Tsk tsk, it’s hard for us not to believe in evil.”

"Yeah, yeah, I don't care if you don't accept it." A villager shook his head and said: "The Jiang family has made a fortune. Oh, when will Fairy Tong benefit us? After all, we are from the same village. Every time she herds deer, she starts from our field. It's going well."

“Hehe, it’s time for the little fairy boy to benefit others. As the saying goes, rain and dew share equally, you can’t keep suppressing one family to bring blessings.”

“That’s right!”

“Heh, save it, all of you.”

Some villagers said angrily: "Did the fairy boy eat your food? Drink your water? Or wear your clothes? Hey! Stop having sweet dreams one by one."

Some people were aroused by these words, immediately thought about it, slapped their heads and said: "Oh, you are so right. Hahaha, you guys can talk, I'm going home."

After saying that, he ran away.

Everyone didn't know why, and looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with this guy.

So, one day when Ying Bao took Youyou out, she met two children aged six or seven. They each gave her a boiled egg and ran away.

Yingbao:…

The eggs in my hand were still warm, as if they had just been boiled.

Two days later, Yingbao and Dani Erni went out to play. Not far out of the gate, they were surrounded by three or four children.

Without saying a word, they each gave her a piece of food, including bread, hard-boiled eggs, and pecans.

There was also a child who gave her two soft red persimmons. Because she was so nervous, she crushed the persimmons at once. The juice flowed into Yingbao's hands and stained the hem of her new cotton-padded clothes.

When the seven or eight-year-old boy saw that he had gotten into trouble, he burst into tears and apologized: "Xiao...Xiao Yingbao, you, please don't be angry, wuwuwu, I, I didn't mean it."

Ying Bao was speechless and asked curiously: "I'm not angry, but can you tell me why you gave me something?"

She considers herself not a heartthrob. Even if there is a big killer like Youyou, it is impossible for all the children in the village to come and give her something. The gifts are still very expensive eggs and flour pancakes.

You must know that there are less than three wealthy households in the village, and only four or five households have enough to eat. Most of the remaining households are half hungry and half full, barely surviving.

How could they give away the most valuable things in their homes to outsiders?

"I...I...my parents asked me to give it as a gift." The little boy sobbed and said, "He said...that as long as you eat our food, you will...be able to bless our family..."

ˆ Yingbao:.

She probably understood what it meant.

After returning home, Ying Bao put her things on the table, washed her hands, and wiped her clothes with a cloth, then sat down and sighed.

She had never encountered this kind of situation in her previous life, and she really didn’t know how to deal with it.

I don’t know whose family gave these things, because there were so many children that she couldn’t tell which family belonged to which.

Forget it, let’s wait until dad comes back.

At this moment, Jiang Sanlang and his two brothers had gone to another place along the river, trying to find the best place to fish. Because there were too many villagers gathered on both sides of the river in Xiaochen Village, they were unable to take action.

If someone finds out that he has something to attract big fish in his hand, those people will not eat him alive.

“Sanlang, is this okay?” Jiang Erlang asked.

The place they chose was several miles away from the village. The road was rugged and rocky, making it difficult to walk.

The only advantage is that the river is wide, the current is not fast, and there should be fish hiding under the river.

Jiang Dalang touched his short beard on his chin and said, "I'm afraid this place is not lucky for fish."

His mind was still stuck on the big fish last time, thinking he could catch that big sturgeon this time too.

Jiang Sanlang said: "We all brought big backpacks, we should be able to transport them back."

“Okay then.” Jiang Dalang’s third brother takes the lead in everything, he just needs to cooperate.

The three brothers went down to the water. Jiang Sanlang took out an oil paper bag from his arms and took out a small white dough ball.

Jiang Erlang craned his neck to look over, but didn't see anything strange about it.

“This thing really lured fish last time?” Why didn’t he believe it at all?

“So be it.” Jiang Sanlang kneaded the dough into small pieces, twisted only a little and sprinkled it on the water.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the river.

Jiang Dalang expressed dissatisfaction with his third brother's nagging behavior: "Is this really enough? Isn't it too little?"

Jiang Sanlang folded his hands and said, "Let's wait and see."

After waiting for a while, the river began to move.

Jiang Dalang Jiang Erlang held his breath and opened his eyes wide, looking at the water lines without blinking.

"This...this...is really coming." Jiang Er's cheeks flushed with excitement, "Quickly, Sanlang, bring the harpoon!"

Jiang Sanlang looked at the water pattern and said, "The fish is not big this time. We have to keep it alive to sell it at a good price."

"Okay! It's still alive, let's use a big net."

Since the last time he fished, Jiang Dalang specially bought materials from the town and made a large net, one that can catch dozens of kilograms of fish at a time.

It just came in handy this time.

Several green fish spines floated up and down, and soon they reached the bait, opening their mouths to eat the broken pieces of bait.

Jiang Dalang brothers took action together, each aiming at one, and two big nets rushed under the big fish.

“Wahaha! It’s coming, it’s coming! Saburo, come and help, I can’t hold it anymore!”

Jiang Sanlang first helped his second brother pull the fish up, and then helped his eldest brother hold the net tightly to prevent the flapping big fish from breaking free.

After a while, the three brothers, sweating profusely, caught two big fish, looked at each other, and laughed.

"This fish is good, more than five feet long. It is just right for a wealthy family to worship their ancestors." Jiang Dalang said with a smile: "It's a pity that two of them ran away."

The old **** Jiang Sanlang said: "It doesn't matter if they run away. Let's put these two in place first and catch them a few more times."

The fish for ancestor worship had to be alive, so he had to put these two fish in the puddle next to them to keep them from suffocating.

After placing the fish, the three brothers carried the net to the river, regardless of getting wet, and continued to wait.

Jiang Sanlang still twists a little bit of powder and sprinkles it on the water.

In this way, they worked all day long and caught eight large fish about five feet long and a few smaller ones.

Seeing that it was getting late, the three brothers carried all the fish on their backs and went home.
