Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 45 Catching Fish
I can finally watch this TV series without being called to work in paddy fields by adults. Zhang Tao in his previous life was full of complaints about this TV series.At that time, they all went to other people's houses to watch, but this shit show was only shown at three or four in the afternoon.

After three or four o'clock in the afternoon, because it's not hot outside, the family has to go to work in the paddy fields. Who can watch the TV all the time?I often get called to work in paddy fields halfway through seeing it, which is so depressing!

This TV series is a children's drama at this time, it seems to be called "Little Dragon Man".Zhang Tao doesn't quite remember the name either, it seems like a group of children went to help the protagonist find his mother or something.At this time, it is very popular with children, and many children will avoid doing farm work and sneak away to watch it at someone with TV.

It's just that these children thought that adults were smarter than them, and they didn't see the children at home when they were told to do farm work, so they went directly to the homes of people with TVs, and caught one.Whether those children are willing or not, they have to follow along to work obediently. .
Now I finally don't have to be unable to watch this TV because I was asked to work in the paddy field, but Zhang Tao found that he couldn't watch it anymore. Some things have passed and he can never get back the original feeling.This is just a TV for children of this era, and I am not a real child after all. . . . .

"Zhang Tao! Zhang Tao!" Just thinking about this, Wang Zhongqiu shouted at the top of his voice outside. This guy doesn't need them to do farm work at home, so he just plays around like crazy during the summer vacation. He is much happier than other children. Zhang Tao is a little Unhappily walked out. "What's wrong?"

"Let's go to your reservoir to touch the snails. The weather is really hot. It's most comfortable for us to touch the snails while swimming." Seeing Zhang Tao walking out of the room, Wang Zhongqiu said with a smile. There are two children in their village.

Zhang Tao was stunned when he saw one of the two children behind him, and asked Wang Zhongqiu strangely after a while, "Did you guys plan to go swimming in the big river?"

"Yes! How do you know? I don't think it's fun to swim in the river. It's better to come to your reservoir to play. There are fruits to eat here." Wang Zhongqiu looked at Zhang Tao in surprise, he didn't quite understand How did Zhang Tao know that they were going to swim in the big river?

"Do your parents know? If they find out later that you went swimming secretly, they will beat you up." Zhang Tao's eyes became strange when he saw them.

"We'll go back after swimming secretly for a while, they won't know." Wang Zhongqiu said with a look of disapproval, apparently their actions were not approved by adults, but they ran out for a swim secretly.

Zhang Tao looked at the four of them and hesitated for a moment. If he remembered correctly, one of the two children who came with Wang Zhongqiu drowned while swimming in a big river this summer.Because he was the only child, there were a lot of troubles at the beginning, and Wang Zhongqiu and the others were beaten a lot.

It's just that Zhang Tao couldn't remember the exact day, so he wasn't sure if it was today.After thinking about it, Zhang Tao felt that it would be better for them to swim in their own reservoir, at least it would be safer.If they were not allowed to swim in their own reservoir, they would definitely swim in the big river, and something might happen.

Then a few people stripped off all their clothes, took two washbasins into the water with their bare buttocks, and went to touch the mussels and snails in the pond.At this time, children don't have the concept of shyness, and it's not so easy to wait in the water in shorts, and adults will definitely find out.Only Zhang Tao wore a pair of shorts, he couldn't lose his old face, even though he didn't even have bird feathers.

The place where they entered the water was not deep, just under Zhang Tao's stomach. This kind of water depth is the best for touching snails, and it is also good for touching pond mussels.To touch the snails, you need to squat down, and then slowly touch the bottom of the water with your hands.

Touching mussels is different. Mussels are usually drilled in the mud and only a little bit is exposed.So usually you step on it with your feet, step on it, and then dive down to pull that guy out of the mud.

The reservoir of Zhang Tao’s family has not been dry for many years, and now the surrounding villagers will not be allowed to go in to catch fish after the contract, so there are still a lot of mussels and snails in it, and they are quite big.After entering the water, a few people began to touch after a certain distance. They all looked like veterans, even more so if they didn't make a fuss occasionally.

In addition to pond mussels and snails, there are also fish and shrimps at the bottom of the water. I don’t know if some fish and shrimps are naturally dull or something. They won’t run away if people touch them, but just get into the small mud pit at the bottom of the water and stop moving.

Those like Zhang Tao who knew this kind of situation would stop touching the small mud puddles.Instead, after determining the location, they outflanked it with both hands. Basically, one or two fish and shrimp can be caught in every small mud pit.

And for a rookie like Wang Zhongqiu, it is basically because he touched the fish in the mud pit with his hand and scared the fish in the mud pit away, so this guy keeps yelling, saying that he just ran into a big fish and ran away What, Zhang Tao just smiled after hearing this, and didn't take it seriously.They have a saying here that the fish that escapes is always bigger than the one that is caught, and Wang Zhongqiu's current behavior is like this.

"Hey!" Suddenly a child screamed, and then stood up suddenly from the water, and the other people all looked at him after hearing his cry.I saw a two-finger-sized river prawn clamping the guy's bird with its pincers, no wonder the guy screamed in pain.

The guy stood up and shook the bird vigorously, but the river prawn didn't know whether it was frightened or something, so he clamped it hard and refused to let go.Seeing this scene, several other people all laughed, and this kind of thing happened to them.

"You are so courageous. What I said was taken as a deaf ear? And you sneaked here to play in the water?" At this time, a woman appeared beside the reservoir, and it was the two children brought by Wang Zhongqiu. One of the mothers was the mother of the boy who was going to be drowned.

Zhang Tao secretly asked his sister to make a small report when he was taking things just now. For that child, if he didn't teach him a profound lesson, he would probably go swimming secretly in the future, so he just let his mother catch him on the spot. It's the best way.For the consequences of the child being caught and beaten now, life is more serious than beating.

The woman took her child's clothes from the shore, then found a small dry bamboo from somewhere, and stared at Zheng Huan's son playing in the reservoir.The child was still smiling smugly after seeing his mother, but he suddenly cooled down, then got up obediently, and walked towards the shore with his buttocks bare.

The others didn't dare to play anymore, and all went ashore honestly.Leaving Zhang Tao alone in the water to slowly clean up the mess, his mother would not ask him to beat him up at this time.Zhang Cuihua believed in what Zhang Tao did.

Soon there were scolding and the crying of the child on the shore. Zhang Tao looked at the child without any guilt because he was beaten, but with a sense of accomplishment.This is the end of playing in the water secretly. I hope that guy will stop swimming secretly after this beating. Otherwise, Zhang Tao doesn't guarantee whether he can survive this summer.

After this incident, Wang Zhongqiu didn't come to Zhang Tao to swim and catch fish for a few days. He was probably scared when he saw others being beaten.Zhang Tao is also happy and at ease, finding some things to do by himself.

This day he was doing his summer homework at home, and the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain. Zhang Tao's heart moved, and he immediately found a few red bricks and put them on the fire to bake.

Then he called his brother Zhang Yong and the two took a net used to catch small fish at home and ran to a water inlet of their reservoir. Water flow measures are worried that the mud and sand washed in from the water inlet will block the surrounding area.

Zhang Yong didn't quite understand what Zhang Tao was going to do, but followed Zhang Tao to spread the fishing net around the water inlet, then fixed it, and then pulled the upper end of the net with two ropes, and the rope was tied to the shore.

After finishing all this, Zhang Tao immediately ran home and soaked the burnt red bricks into the cesspit. The smell was extremely unpleasant.When the red bricks in the cesspit were no longer steaming, he immediately picked up a few bricks, put them in the slow flow of the water inlet, and fixed them.

After finishing all this work, the heavy rain finally came. Zhang Tao was still a little regretful that it came a little too fast.In fact, he was going to run around the village before it rained. He had held back a sentence for decades, and he could finally shout it at this time. Unfortunately, he still didn't seize the opportunity, so he could only shout it next time.

The heavy rain lasted for more than an hour before it stopped, and by this time it was almost dark.Zhang Tao called his brother, and Zhang Yan, and the three of them carried a bucket and a bamboo pole to the water inlet to catch fish. At this time, Zhang Yong understood what Zhang Tao was doing all that before.

The crucian carp and white stripes in the reservoir at their house like to run towards the water inlet when it rains, and sometimes there are carp, and Zhang Tao is going to use a fishing net to catch the fish that are going to the water inlet , the role of those few bricks is their smell to attract more fish.

When walking towards the water inlet, Zhang Tao and Zhang Yong walked separately, and they had to stand alone and lift up the fishing net.When they arrived at the water inlet, the two brothers first pulled up the tied rope, and the flat fishing net was stretched into a pocket to cover the water inlet, while Zhang Yan carried a bamboo pole from the top of the water inlet to slapped down.

In fact, there was no need for her to slap, some sensitive white strips rushed towards the middle of the reservoir when they heard the movement, but they were blocked by the fish net, and the fish could only keep hitting the fish net. Zhang Tao was better, with enough strength .Zhang Yong's face was flushed at the moment, and he probably didn't have enough strength. This time, there might be a lot of fish in the net.
