slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 97
Cang Hai saw four fish hanging from Wei Wenkui's shoulders, four of them were big fish, two of them were threaded up to his gills with a rope, and he was carrying two smaller fish in his hand, walking briskly like flying to the village.

"Uncle Wei, the harvest is good." Cang Hai asked with a smile.

Wei Wenkui laughed loudly and said, "Don't talk about it, hurry up, boy, there are still a lot of fish. I didn't expect that the dam burst, and we have fallen into the real benefits."

While speaking, the tiger head jumped out from behind Wei Wenkui, holding a medium-sized fish that weighed about three to four catties in its mouth.

The tiger head didn't stop, and ran past Cang Hai in a swift motion.

"Your family's tiger head is really a good dog, unlike our family's idiot who doesn't know how to catch fish at home."

Seeing the tiger's head, Wei Wenkui's eyes were full of envy.

Cang Hai smiled and did not speak.

Aww!Aww!
Just as Wei Wenkui finished speaking, Tie Tou skipped past the two of them holding a big fish in his arms. Tie Tou's speed was very fast, much faster than people running.

Ping An was following Tie Tou. This kid carried four on his shoulders and carried four in his hands. Although he was slightly smaller than Wei Wenkui, he was more numerous.

"Uncle Wei, hurry up, what are you talking about now, go catch fish" Ping An was very happy.

When Cang Hai and Wei Wenkui heard this, they immediately got busy.

The puddles near the village have been cleared, and the small fish have been thrown back into the river. The big fish have been carried home by the villagers. Now if you want to find the big fish, you have to go upstream along the river.

With a trot, Canghai found a new water puddle after running for nearly ten minutes. There were not many fish in the water puddle, and the biggest one was about two or three catties. Cang Hai, where the fish came home, looked down on these small fish a little bit, threw them all into the river, and then continued to swim upstream.

After throwing a few puddles in succession, I heard Hu Shijie's voice behind me.

"Haiwazi, what are you doing?"

Cang Hai turned his head and was about to answer Hu Shijie's question, when he saw his equipment, he was startled: "Wow, Grandpa Hu, are you going to pull all the fish back at once?"

Hu Shijie drove his family's mule, which carried two baskets on its back, and each basket could probably hold several tens of catties of things. The effect of transportation is far more exciting than people carrying it back and forth.

"You are stupid, of course you have to use animals to pull such a long distance. I won't talk nonsense with you. Hurry up and catch the fish. After fishing, go to the town to buy some big salt. Even dead fish can be salted and dried. " Hu Shijie said as he led the mule past Cang Hai.

Cang Hai thought for a while, and felt that he should use his hands this trip, and he would get his own ugly donkey out when he went back.

Continuing to move forward, Cang Hai found that his speed of snatching fish was really not as fast as that of Hu Shijie, because he just had to throw it into the basket on the mule's back as long as he saw a big fish.As for the small fish, they kicked directly into the river.

Soon the folks in the village came back one after another. Every house and every house led their animals, and every family happily started picking fish along the river.

"Second Brother!" Ping An shouted at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai couldn't help being happy when he saw it, because Ping An had done what he wanted to do. This kid came here with the ugly donkey, not only led the ugly donkey, but also put the ugly donkey in a cart. Two plastic buckets were installed.

"Good boy, you are still smart!" Cang Hai laughed and praised.

Other people’s homes use baskets, and the fish will probably die when transported back, but Ping’an directly takes the big plastic bucket, so if you decorate it in water, the fish may survive.

Qiu Shanghua laughed and said, "We also want to use buckets, but who has plastic buckets as big as yours?"

Cang Hai thought for a while and smiled, "Yes!"

Cang Hai’s plastic bucket was brought back by Cang Hai when he returned to the village for the first time. It was originally intended to store water, with a diameter of [-] to [-] cm and a height of more than one meter. It was never used and was piled up in the old kiln. Then, I didn't expect that it would suddenly play a big role now.

"Second brother, let's go pick up fish." Ping An's happy eyes were gone.

Cang Hai waved his hand: "Let's go!"

The two brothers didn't want to compete with others, so they led the ugly donkey and walked up the river. When they were about four or five hundred meters away from the crowd, they found a new puddle with a fat fish weighing seven or eight catties. There are three or four sticklebacks left. Besides these two kinds of fish, there is also a special kind of fish.In Canghai’s hometown, it’s called Papa.Because this kind of fish likes to lie down in the grass on the shore, and will only jump back into the water if there is danger.

Two or three papa fish, each of which is about seven or eight taels, which is already very large for papa fish, generally four or five taels.

"Papayu" Ping An also saw it.

"Pick up, pick up all the fish in this puddle!" Cang Hai said and started to move his hands.

The two brothers cleared the puddle with two or three hands, and continued to search upstream along the river pond.After a while, Hutou and Tietou also joined the team, and the two beasts set off upstream together.

Soon the buckets were full of fish. There were about seven or eight big fish in each bucket, and there were twenty or thirty small fish. Sometimes, there are still a few fish left in the bucket.

"That's enough, don't need to pick it up, let's transport it back this time." Cang Hai said.

"Don't pick it up?" Ping An asked.

Cang Hai shook his head: "I don't want to pick up the fish anymore. Let's move on and throw the fish back into the river when it comes back again. If this is the case, we might be able to eat fish next year. We'll catch all the fish once and next year." Don’t you lose your thoughts?”

"I said, Haiwazi, you are really interesting. You don't know how many days this river can flow. You still think about fish. In my opinion, it's better to pick up all these fish. Don't let them all die when the river dries up." , wouldn't that be more wasteful?"

At some point, Liu Aifen walked to the side of several people, stretched her head to look at the two big barrels on the car while talking.

"Wait until the river is dry before we talk about it, anyway, they belong to our village, and they didn't go to other people's homes," Cang Hai said with a smile.

"Haiwazi is right. Even if the river dries up, it will be on our territory. Now everyone has caught a lot of fish. Even if it is pickled, it will be enough to last for many days. Who can still eat it all day long?" Can't you eat fish?" Li Liren said.

Li Liren was driving the car, and the couple was empty now, and it seemed that they were going to pick it up.

"Then you go ahead, we will send this trip back." Cang Hai smiled at the couple.

He waved his hand at Li Liren and his wife, Cang Hai drove the car to the village with peace, Hutou and Tietou each took a fish in their mouths, and walked in front of the team with their heads held high, as if Show off that you can catch fish too.

Meeting people along the way and saying hello, and returning home, Cang Hai put all the live fish in the bathtub of the bathroom to raise them, took out a few that died, and went straight to the scales and scraped their stomachs to take care of them. The knife cut a cross-shaped knife on the fish, rubbed it inside and out with salt, and after it was cleaned up, it was threaded on a rope and hung on the steel beam in the kitchen to dry.

Bring Ping'an, Hutou and Tietou with us again. We don't need to catch fish this time, so we all got into the car and went upstream along the river.

He met several groups of people head-on, and when Cang Hai met Hu Shijie, the old man spoke.

"Haiwazi, we have discussed it, each family will be the last one, and the rest of the fish will be kept in the river..."

Cang Hai smiled and said: "I'm not here to pull fish, I'm going to get the fish on the river bank back into the water, as much as I can get, in case some fish die in a hurry, I have to Take it back and marinate it."

"Yes, that's what I mean too. That's all right, don't bother you, hurry up, I'll help you after I send this trip back," Hu Shijie said, and swung the whip in his hand, which made a crackling sound in the air. With a loud sound, the big mule pulling the cart kicked forward vigorously, and the cart started to move slowly.

Cang Hai continued to drive forward, got out of the car at the place where there were fish in the puddles, and rescued the fish with Ping An, Hu Tou and Tie Tou. question.As it goes up, the river widens and the water gets deeper.

It used to be dry, so I couldn’t see the terrain. Now Cang Hai understands that the terrain here is lower than that of the village. Otherwise, how could the village look like a small river, and these are already faint. With the appearance of the river.

As the water surface widens, there will be fewer and fewer puddles on the waste river bed where the loess has washed out, and everyone's life will naturally become easier.

"Second brother, look, there is a big lake here!"

Cang Hai also saw it without Ping An's reminder, and there was a bright lake in front of him, and there were some grass and trees washed down from the upper dam protection forest in the lake, which was messy.But because the water in the lake is clear at the end of the day, it looks pretty good.

"Let's go, have a look." After Cang Hai finished speaking, he drove the ugly donkey to the ridge of the ditch. After walking along the ridge of the ditch for a while, he found that the front could not pass. The ditch was filled, and about four or five meters down from the ridge of the ditch was a lake washed out by the flood.

"Second brother, what should we do?"

"What should I do? Go home and eat fish." Cang Hai laughed and said.

After picking up a piece of lake here, Canghai is not willing to pick it up again. As for whether there are fish upstream or not, it doesn't matter to Canghai, because if he keeps picking it up, he will have to pick up a dam. As for ten miles, such a long road would definitely not be possible for a lazy person like Cang Hai.

So Cang Hai took the peace and drove the ugly donkey to his village along the small river.
