Chapter 6 The Last Patch

The fish cage was placed in the creek not far from the big tree—otherwise, he wouldn't have been hiding in these trees, causing so many subsequent incidents.

The reason why it is placed here is because the water in this section is relatively deep, almost two meters, and only large fish can be raised in the depth of the water.Yue Shan has observed that there are several groups of large fish with long arms in this section of water.

There was another reason, for the time being he didn't want anyone to know how he caught the fish.This will be explained later.

When I came to the place where the fish cage was lowered, I found the reserved hemp rope and gently tugged it, a heavy feeling came, and then there was a feeling of "a meal and a meal" on the hemp rope.

Yue Shan was overjoyed, knowing that a big fish must have entered, this kind of clear feeling can only be produced when a big fish hits the fish cage.Quickly pull the cage out bit by bit.

This body is only ten years old, and it is very weak due to long-term malnutrition and recovering from a serious illness.The heavy fish cage actually made him feel like he couldn't move it.

He knew that this was just an illusion of long-term physical weakness. The fish cage was not big, and he could pull it even with a few stones under the buoyancy of the water, let alone fish.

With more effort, he really pulled the fish cage out of the water bit by bit and dragged it to the shore.

The appearance of this fish cage is very strange. It is a rattan ball with a diameter of about two feet, and there are four round holes in the shape of an inverted trumpet evenly distributed around it.

Those who often fish know that the inverted bell mouth is easy to enter and difficult to exit. It is very useful whether it is catching fish, birds or other wild animals.

Dragging the takraw ball to the ground, Yue Shan didn't care that the water on it would wet his clothes. He ran over to open the reserved cover and stretched his head to have a look. There were three large herrings about a foot long lying inside, and a large number of small fishes. shrimp.The total weight was at least twenty catties, no wonder it was so heavy.

Twenty catties of river fresh meat, Yue Shan, who hadn't been sticking to oil stars for several months, almost popped out of his eyes.In his eyes, this cage of fish has become a plate of braised fish, steamed fish, spicy fish...

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

He strung together three big herrings and five or six palm-sized crucian carp with willow branches. There were still many small fish and shrimp in the cage, and he was worried again.

In previous lives, as long as people who were not fishing maliciously encountered such small fish, they would usually release them, but now he is really reluctant.Filling the stomach is the most important thing, let's talk about protecting the environment later.

After thinking about it, he simply took off his coat, poured all the small fish and shrimps on it and packed it away.

After tidying up, he threw the fish cage into the water again.And covered the hemp rope with weeds to prevent people from discovering the abnormality.Then return to the village with the harvest on your back.

More than [-] catties of fish are very heavy for a ten-year-old child.I didn't feel it at first, but the more I walked back, the more I felt heavy. Halfway through the walk, my whole body was numb and I couldn't walk.

Looking at the sky, Yue Shan sighed, this body needs training.

Just when he stopped to rest, he suddenly heard an anxious voice from ahead: "Shanzi, Shanzi, where are you?"

Yue Shan's face brightened, knowing that it was his father in this life who came back from work and couldn't see him coming out to look for it, so he immediately stood up and shouted, "Father, I'm here."

"Shanzi, is that you? Why are you here? Are you all right?" Seeing that his son was fine, Fourth Yue ran up to him happily, and asked like a cannonball.

Yue Laosi is the name of Yue Shan's father in this life. In this era, children from poor families basically did not have formal names.He is a four-year-old at home, so his name is Yue Laosi. Of course, there are also people who call him Yue Xiaosi.But in the household registration book of the imperial court, he is called Yue Laosi.

Yue Shan's name is actually Yue Shanzi, and after he was reborn, the "zi" was removed to become his official name.Although there is not much meaning, it is quite satisfactory.

Yue Laosi is not old at all. He is only 26 years old this year, but his skin is dark, his face has many signs of aging, and his hands are covered with calluses.Just by looking at his appearance, he can be regarded as Li Shimin's grandfather who is the same age as him.

Of course, you can only think about this in your heart, if you dare to say it, you will definitely die a miserable death.

"Father, I'm fine, you see what this is." Yue Shan comforted him, then pointed to the ground and said.

"Fish?" Fourth Yue saw the fish on the ground and couldn't help exclaiming: "Where are there so many fish?"

"I caught it." Yue Shan replied.

"Did you catch it? Do you know how to catch fish?" Fourth Yue wrinkled his face happily.Fish, he has forgotten how long he has not eaten meat.

"Didn't I save an old Taoist priest before, he taught me. I tried it today, but I didn't expect to catch a fish." Yue Shan said.

"Old Taoist?" Fourth Yue looked at his son suspiciously, wondering when he had saved the old Taoist.

"That's right, when I was in my hometown. At that time, I was stealing vegetables and cakes from home for the old Taoist priest to eat. You found out that you called me a prodigal. Have you forgotten?" Yue Shan said seriously.

"This...why don't I remember?" Fourth Yue scratched his head, but couldn't think of such a thing.

"Maybe it's been too long and you forgot, the old Taoist taught me a lot." Yue Shan said affirmatively.

"Then... Maybe I forgot." Yue Lao Si scratched his scalp and said in shame.

Obviously, this honest man did not doubt his son's words, and really thought that these things had happened and he had forgotten.I even feel sorry for my son for forgetting these things.

"If you forget, forget it. Anyway, when we moved here, the old Taoist also left, so I don't know if we will have a chance to meet again in the future." Yue Shan quickly changed the subject with a few vague words: "It's getting late, mother must be waiting at home Now, let's go home and cook fish."

"Okay, okay, go home and make fish to eat." When he mentioned eating fish, Yue Laosi immediately forgot about the old Taoist priest, and walked home when he mentioned fish.

Yue Shan, who was walking behind him, showed a smug smile, and the last patch was successfully repaired.

As a time traveler, no matter how he conceals it, he is obviously different from the people of this era.how to solve this problem?

An unfounded master is the best excuse, and all abnormal things can be pushed to that master.

But only he himself said that he has a master, which can easily arouse everyone's suspicion, and he needs others to prove his words.

Parents are the best witnesses.

The ignorant and honest Yue Laosi and his wife are so easy to take advantage of. They only need a simple lie to make them believe that their son really saved a down-and-out old Taoist priest back then.

My son is promising, and the gossip nature of Yue Laosi and his wife means that the whole village knows about it.

Not to mention the other three surnames, even if the family of the Yue surname who migrated together had doubts in their hearts, they would choose to believe after seeing these fish.

Because in ancient times, fishing was considered a family heirloom technique, and it was generally not taught to outsiders.How did ten-year-old Yue Shan learn it?It can only be taught by that old Taoist priest.Coupled with the follow-up brain supplements, a lively old Taoist priest was born out of thin air.

Even when someone asked them about the old Taoist priests, they could still make up a few decent interactive plots with the old Taoist priests.

Even if what they say is wrong, even if what they say is contradictory, it doesn't matter.When everyone agrees that the old Taoist exists, then he really exists.

As for where the old Taoist came from and where he went, only God knows in this turbulent age.

Rumors are scary, but sometimes they can play an unexpected role if they are used well.Yue Shan thought so.
