Chapter 57
Forget it, anyway, it's freezing cold now, everyone is hiding at home, and no one will go to the small river to suffer from the cold like my second brother.

Qin Miao decided to move out a few fish from the space to comfort her second brother's hard work these days.In fact, she felt sorry for her second brother, but in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she couldn't remove the fish in large areas.

This day, the water in the small river was blown by the biting cold north wind all night, when Qin Miao followed her second brother to the river in the morning, the river was already frozen.

"Second brother, it's so cold, will there be fish under the ice?" Qin Miao squatted by the river, throwing stones on the slippery ice surface.

Qin Shaolian picked up a big rock and smashed a big hole in the ice with a click.The ice layer on the surface broke, and the Qingqing River water under the ice was exposed.

Qin Shaolian cast the fishing net he made down from the hole, while doing this, he told Qin Miao, "Because of the cold weather, few people came out to fish, so there are more fish in the river."

Qin Miao shook her head: "Life is difficult for farmers. After paying the land rent every year, they can't even maintain their rations. The fish in the river have been caught by people long ago. Even if there are fish in this river, they are probably fry."

While saying these words to distract the second brother's attention, he secretly picked a few big fish weighing up to four catties from the small river in the space and moved them into the river.If the second brother can really catch these big fat fish, it will be enough for himself and Aunt Liu's family to satisfy their greed.

The few big fat fish were originally swimming well in the Lingquan River where the temperature is constant and the seasons are like spring, but they were suddenly thrown into the bitterly cold river water, and they were a little dazed.As soon as Qin Shaolian's fishing nets were collected, he caught them all in one go.

The fishing net was very heavy, Qin Shaolian took a closer look, and saw that five big fat fish were caught in the fishing net, and he was overjoyed immediately!While yelling: "Little sister, come quickly, your second brother and I finally have a bumper harvest today!" While pulling the fishing net vigorously, I tried my best to pull the fully loaded fishing net to the shore.

The cheerful appearance of the second brother made Qin Miao happy, she ran over to help the second brother pull the fishing net.

After a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body, he finally pulled the fishing net completely to the shore.Five big fat fish were trapped in the fishing net, kept scrambling, raised their heads high and then slapped them to the ground, extremely reluctant to be caught just like that.

"Oh! What a fresh fish!" Qin Shaolian looked at his results and was extremely satisfied. He picked up stones, knocked the fish unconscious, then pulled hay to weave straw ropes, and threaded several fish through them.

When the brothers and sisters of the Qin family were busy cleaning up the fat fish, not far away, behind a tree, a head poked out. It was none other than the well-known lazy rascal in the Tang family village, Tang Ma'er.Because he is lazy and rascal, his family is poor, the broken thatched house can't keep out the whistling north wind, the roof has been lifted long ago, he is too lazy to stay at home, just wandering around like this, the east family steals an egg, and the west family steals an egg. By the way, let's just make do with it.

Today, Tang Ma'er came to this river with a pockmarked face. Firstly, people in the village didn't want to see him, so he wandered here. Secondly, he came here to try his luck like Qin Shaolian, to see if he could catch a fish and beat his teeth for sacrifice.

However, this scoundrel with pockmarked Tang's luck is really good today. When he first came to the river, he saw Qin Shaolian catch five big fat fish, and he was immediately envious.Go forward and ask for it?People will definitely not give it.Watching him walk away with the fish, Tang Ma's face was not reconciled.

Thinking back to the last time the Qin family sold more than 100 taels of silver for the shrimp, and thinking about their broken thatched house whose roof was torn off by the north wind, Tang's pockmarked face was full of jealousy and hatred. .It doesn't matter that other families in the village are better than him, even outsiders like the Qin family are richer than him, the more Tang pockmarked, the more unwilling he felt.

Originally, last time Mrs. Zhang proposed to go to Qin's house to grab money, Tang Malian was ready to make a big deal, and robbed dozens of taels of silver to go back to build a big tile house with blue bricks, but was stopped by Tang Shuan's brothers.Tang's pockmarked face still hurts when he thinks about it.

Today is fine, meeting the kid from the Qin family who has caught big fish for so many days, God bless him with a pockmarked face, today he must snatch those few fish.

Qin Shaolian and Qin Miao had finished threading the fish with straw ropes, and were about to take it home to stew the fish soup.Suddenly, a person rushed out diagonally from behind, directly snatching the fish from Qin Shaolian's hand.That person was none other than Tang's pockmarked face born of jealousy and greed.

Qin Shaolian has been guarding the rivers, big and small, for many days, and today he finally caught these five big fish. They are so precious, how could it be possible for Tang Malian to snatch them away?The two just started arguing like you pushing me to carry it.

Qin Miao saw that her second elder brother was not the opponent of that rascal Tang with a pockmarked face, so she moved a stone to help, intending to knock the rascal unconscious.But who would have thought that with a pockmarked face, Tang pushed her arm, and she stepped back a few steps to the edge of the small river.Holding a stone in my hand, my center of gravity was unstable. I threw the stone to find something to stabilize my body, but I couldn't find it, so I fell into the river with a plop!

Because of the big fish just caught on the river, a large piece of ice was broken, exposing the green river water.

Qin Miao just fell into the river!
When Qin Shaolian saw his little sister fell into the water, he immediately forgot about the fish, untied his patched padded jacket and went into the water to save her.

Just at this time, a figure was one step ahead of Qin Shaolian, and plunged headlong into the river.He pushed Qin Miao up from the water with swift movements.

Qin Shaolian hurriedly pulled Qin Miao ashore.At that time, Qin Miao's whole body was soaked in the icy cold river water, she was so cold that she could only shiver, her upper and lower teeth trembled uncontrollably, making a rattling sound, her body was huddled together, her face was pale and pale, and she might faint from the cold at any time.

With a crash, the person who rescued Qin Miao also came ashore from the river.His situation was the same as Qin Miao's, his clothes were soaked by the icy cold river water, dripping wet.But he was very calm and calm, he didn't even shudder, if he wasn't wearing a padded jacket, at first glance, he would be as comfortable as climbing up from the river in summer.

Qin Miao was trembling violently, feeling deeply uncomfortable, while looking at the person who saved her life.

That man was a ten-year-old boy, drenched all over his body, but his temperament was calm, gentle, handsome, and there was a kind of determination in his eyes - he was none other than Tang Ergou, Qin Miao's second brother. .

These days Ergou's house gathered a lot of women Mao Dong to do needlework, and Ergou would avoid going out during the day, so Qin Miao hadn't seen him for several days, and really did not expect to meet Ergou by this river, It happened to be rescued by him.
