Chapter 3 Want to Fish
"Brother, what is this?"
Xiaoyan has been obediently watching Lu Qing busy, and after he finished making the fishing rod, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This is called a fishing rod, and it is used for fishing. Whether we have something to eat today depends on it."
Lu Qing waved the bamboo pole, tried the feel, and was somewhat satisfied.
In his previous life, he was a fishing enthusiast. When he became interested, he would also like to make some small poles for fun.
I didn’t expect that this skill would come in handy here.
The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, can you catch fish?"
"We can't say for sure whether we can catch it. Let's give it a try first. If we really catch a fish, we will have fish soup to drink."
"Fish soup..." When Xiaoyan heard these two words, she fell into fantasy, and saliva could not help but show up from the corners of her mouth.
"Brother, let's go fishing quickly!"
The little guy can't wait.
The last time she ate fish was a long, long time ago, during the Chinese New Year, when her father bought a big fish from the market.
In her memory, fish is very delicious.
"Don't be so anxious, we still have to prepare some bait."
It was not difficult to find bait. Lu Qing found the bait he needed with two shovels on a relatively cool and fertile piece of land in the corner of the yard.
【Red earthworms: a good helper for loosening the soil, and it seems that they can also be used as medicine. 】
Ignoring the message that appeared on the earthworm, Lu Qing put it into a bamboo tube.
He dug this thing not to use it as a medicinal material. He does not understand medical skills.
After sealing the bamboo tube, leaving only one air hole, carrying a fishing rod on their backs and an old wooden barrel in their hands, the brother and sister began to walk out majestically.
As soon as I left the small courtyard and walked not far into the village, I was stopped by a woman.
"Lu Qing, your illness is cured and you can walk?"
The woman was holding a plate of clothes, which she had obviously just returned from washing.
Her tone was full of surprise.
It's not that the Lu family boy is seriously ill and doesn't have much energy anymore. Even old doctor Chen went to see him and said he could only rely on destiny.
Why is it that it has only been a day and you are so alive and ready to go out?
Just last night, the villagers were still discussing when to collect his body.
"Yes, Aunt Wang, somehow, after sleeping for two days, my illness gradually improved, and I can get up in the morning."
Lu Qing answered according to the original tone of the original owner.
Fortunately, the original owner used to have a somewhat quiet and melancholy temperament, so it is not difficult to imitate him.
“My brother drank Grandpa Chen’s medicine and recovered instantly!” Xiaoyan on the side interjected.
Aunt Wang had no intention of paying attention to any changes in Lu Qing's personality. Seeing that Lu Qing seemed to be getting better, she also smiled.
He kept saying: "It's good, it's good, it's good."
At the same time, I felt relieved.
In the past two days, several elderly people in the village visited Lu Qing and later said that he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to survive this test.
Everyone was talking about what Lu Xiaoyan would do if the boy from the Lu family was gone.
The opinion of the old people is that one household in the village should adopt Xiaoyan, and everyone else should contribute some money, which will be counted as her nutrition.
It's so good that his man came back and said he wanted to adopt Xiaoyan. He said that the old man of the Lu family had been kind to him when we all fled together, and he couldn't leave the last part of his blood unattended.
Aunt Wang would naturally not be happy to have an extra oil bottle for no reason.
But she did not dare to refute her man face to face, so she could only pray that Lu Qing could get through it.
Now that Lu Qing is really well, she is sincerely happy.
Thinking of this, Aunt Wang said to Lu Qing earnestly: "Lu Qing, you must take good care of your health in the future. Xiaoyan only has you as a relative to rely on now. If Qin is gone, what will she do all alone?"
Lu Qing was a little surprised.
In the memory of the original owner, this Aunt Wang did not seem to be such a warm-hearted person.
However, he still politely agreed, "I understand, thank you Aunt Wang for caring, I will take good care of Xiaoyan."
"Well, this is a good boy." Aunt Wang was satisfied.
As long as Lu Qing is still here, the men in her family will not have the idea of adopting Xiaoyan, and she will no longer have to worry.
After her mood improved, Aunt Wang discovered what the brother and sister were holding.
"You guys are holding both barrels and bamboo poles, what are you going to do?"
"Aunt Wang, my brother and I are going to catch fish!" Xiaoyan said happily.
“Catch fish?” Aunt Wang asked doubtfully.
What kind of fish can be caught with just a bamboo pole and a broken wooden barrel?
She thought of the current situation of the Lu family and suddenly reacted.
Is it possible that these two brothers and sisters are hungry and want to go down to the river to catch fish?
Aunt Wang said quickly: "You must be hungry, come on, follow me home. There is still some food at Aunt Wang's place. Lu Qing, your body is just fine. Why don't you go into the river? Don't wait until you catch a cold and get sick again."
It is good to have a free meal, but the two of them cannot always rely on the villagers for help.
In that case, no matter how much affection you have, one day it will be exhausted.
“Fishing? Lu Qing, do you know how to do this?” Aunt Wang was surprised.
She naturally knows what fishing is, but there seems to be no one in the village who is good at this craft. Lu Qing actually understands it?
"I just know a little bit about it. I heard my father talk about it before, so I wanted to give it a try." Lu Qing replied.
Aunt Wang then remembered that Lu Qing's father was literate and often ran outside. He was much more knowledgeable than the villagers like them.
Perhaps, he knows some special method.
But Aunt Wang is still a little worried: "It's not urgent at this moment. You have just recovered a little, so you should rest more. Is the fish so easy to catch? Don't stay in the wind by the river for a long time. If you don't catch the fish, you will catch a cold again."
万一陆青又病倒了，以他这瘦弱的身体，还能不能再熬过一回就难说了。
Lu Qing heard the concern in her tone and was a little moved in her heart.
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang, I will pay attention to it, and I will never be pushy."
Hence, Aunt Wang tried to persuade her again, but when she couldn't persuade her, she could only say: "Then you have to promise Aunt Wang, You must not go into the river.”
“Okay, we will definitely not go into the river. Goodbye, Aunt Wang.”
Aunt Wang suddenly became excited when she saw the two Lu Qing brothers walking outside the village.
"By the way, I need to quickly tell the stubborn guy at home that the Lu family boy has come back to life, so that he can give up his intention of adopting the little girl."
Aunt Wang hurried home, and brother and sister Lu Qing met a few more people from the village as they walked out.
Every villager was shocked when they saw Lu Qing, and asked him how he recovered from his illness.
At this time, Xiaoyan would happily tell them that her brother got better after drinking Grandpa Chen's medicine.
While everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but respect Dr. Chen even more.
The old doctor's medical skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. He is able to save even a person like Lu Qing who has only one breath left. It is really amazing.
After being amazed, everyone was happy for the Lu family. After all, Lu Qing was not dead, and the blood of the Lu family could be considered preserved.
When they learned that Lu Qing was going to the river to catch fish, they all advised him that he should not touch cold water again after recovering from a serious illness.
It was not until Lu Qing repeatedly promised that he would not go into the river that he stopped trying to dissuade him.
And after they heard that Lu Qing was going fishing, they lost interest.
Fishing, who doesn’t know this?
Some villagers have even tried fishing themselves.
After all, river fish are fat and ownerless, so who wouldn’t be greedy for them?
But everyone who tried gave up in the end.
Because in their opinion, fishing is really too difficult.
I often stay for half a day, maybe just one or two small fish.
Even if you can occasionally catch a bigger fish, it’s not worth it.
Who doesn’t have a lot of farm work to do? It’s such a waste of time just for one or two fish. How can we live longer?
Just like Lu Qing, the fields at home are abandoned, there is no farm work to do, and there is no surplus food, so he thinks of catching two fish to satisfy his hunger.
After knowing what Lu Qing was thinking, everyone no longer stopped him. They just gave him a few words of advice and then dispersed.
On the contrary, several half-year-old children became more interested after hearing what Lu Qing said.
Just follow them and go to the river, wanting to see how he fishes.
