Jincheng flower hour

Reed Lake has vast waters, lush aquatic plants, and blue water.Early in the morning, Gouzi insisted on bow and arrow, carrying a bamboo basket, and came to Luwei Lake.As soon as he walked to the lake, the sound of his feet stepping on the reeds startled two waterfowl.Come today, the dog is not just for hunting.After unloading the bamboo basket, Quanzi took out the fishing net and machete from the bamboo basket. He wants to fish today, not with a fishing basket, but with a fishing net.

Gouzi cut trees by the lake, knocked the trunk into the shallow water of the lake to form a square shape, and then tied the fishing net to the tree trunk on three sides, and pulled the other side with a rope.This is the simplest method of fishing. Submerge the net in the water and then collect it after a period of time. How many fish and shrimps you can catch depends on God's will, but it must be more than the fishing basket.

After the dog set up the fishing net, he went to squat by the tree, waiting for the waterfowl to come.While waiting for the fish to be harvested, he can also hunt by the way.If you often go to the lake to hunt waterfowl, then they will not come again, and it is no problem to kill two occasionally.

Reed Lake is some distance away from Zhuli, which is inaccessible.Residents in Zhuli, except Zhuang and Zhang, who are merchants, are all farmers. They farm, and when they are not farming, they will call friends to intercept the barbarian water and pull nets to catch fish.Unconsciously, Gouzi has traveled farther than the farmers of Yishui, and because of the west bank of Yishui, people seldom go there.

The fish in the lake, except for the water birds that come to prey, have no natural enemies, and they are all fattened.Standing by the lake, you can see the dragonflies flying next to the lake attacking the grass carp, while the great egret waiting by the side pecks the grass carp sticking out of the water.Quanzi drew his round bow and aimed at the great egret, which was soaring happily. The arrow flew out, but the great egret stopped screaming and fell from the sky.

Gouzi stepped forward and picked up the great egret's body. He pulled out the wooden arrow from the great egret's body and took back the quiver.The life that was still so fresh just now has gone back to the west.Gouzi touched the elegant neck of the great egret and murmured: "I will eat you well, so I won't waste it."

Hunting is only for food, not for fun.

In the Quanzi family, fish is usually removed, and poultry is rarely eaten.If there is no bow, I am afraid that it is rare to eat it once a year.

This is the food presented by Luweihu Lake, and it is also presented by Zhuang Erlang.

Put the great egret into the basket, and the dog put his bow back and sat on a high ground by the lake.Sitting upright like a hermit, his precious bow and arrow resting on his lap.

Near noon, Quanzi went into the water to collect the fishing net. He was a half-old child, and he worked hard to pull up the heavy fishing net.Some fish escaped cunningly, and some fish were trapped in the net.Quanzi dragged the fishing net ashore, untied the fish entangled in the net, and threw it into the bamboo basket.There were a dozen fat fish, almost all grass carp, and only two mandarin fish.

Toyoto's life is very depressing for Inuzi, his mother is always spinning, and he has no playmates of the same age.When he was free, Quanzi would go to Fenghu Lake to look for Lame Wang, and he would stay there for half a day.He follows closely like Wang Zizi's child, and Wang Zizi will teach the dog what he knows and can.Because of the close relationship between the two, the dog called Uncle Wang, Lame Wang.

Looking at the fish in the basket, Gouzi wanted to dry them and give some to Wang Zizi. Since he moved to Zhuli, he hadn't seen Uncle Wang for a long time.

At noon, Quanzi came back with a full load, and happily presented his harvest to Liu's mother.Liu's mother was pleasantly surprised and said with a smile: "There are so many fish, I can't finish them." The dog said: "Mom, you can dry the fish."

The salt at Quanzi’s house is usually used sparingly, and there is not much of it, so I have to buy some more to marinate the fish to make it more delicious.

Mother Liu boiled water to molt the great egret, and she took care of this waterfowl.Mother Liu is able to cook delicious food with limited ingredients, such an adult water bird can be their food for two days.

Quanzi uses a small knife to disembowel and clean the fish, then strings up the mouth of the fish with hemp rope, and hangs the fish in the courtyard to expose it to the sun. It must be dried before it can be stored.

Thanks to a fishing net, the family finally has a surplus of fish.

Since Aping and the others learned how to shoot, Quanzi didn't have to go to the dealer every afternoon to practice with them.It is not free for Quanzi to teach bow and arrow. A Li's sister gave Quanzi a small sum of money as a reward.Quanzi felt that he deserved it, so he accepted it.Zhuang's mother also asked the servant to reward Gouzi with some money, but not much, but Gouzi refused, saying that Zhuang Yang had already paid, and the reward was the bow and arrow in Gouzi's hand.

I was very happy with Aping and the others. Weeding the bean field by the river alone, I was in a good mood. The only difference was that I couldn't see Zhuang Yang every day.

This day's work is almost done, feeding pigs and rabbits, herding sheep, fishing and hunting, weeding in bean fields, and only cutting bamboo.

In the afternoon, the farmer's yard was silent, and I don't know where Aping and the others went.Quanzi didn't care if they were there or not. He went to the east bank not to play with them.

Push the canoe into the river, and Gouzi carries the machete and crosses the water by boat.

The bamboo in Zhushan on the east bank is inexhaustible, providing the weaving material for dogs.

Gouzi climbed the bamboo mountain and felled the bamboo.He was alone in the mountain, the surroundings were quiet, and the sound of bamboo cutting was particularly loud.

Cut down a bamboo, and cut down another, the bamboo leaves rattled.Gouzi put down the machete, checked his palm, and felt a dull pain when the tiger's mouth rubbed against the skin.Fortunately, there is a medicine powder given by Zhuang Yang at home, just sprinkle it, and it will be fine soon.

Gouzi sat and rested on the felled bamboo, and the forest wind came slowly, blowing away the sweat from his face and neck, which was very comfortable.Sensing that there seemed to be something at his feet, Quan Zi was alert, looked down and found that it was a tapir cub.Although the tapirs looked exactly the same to the human Inuzi, he recognized that they were just bamboo shoots.

There were no other tapir cubs in the bamboo, so the farmer raised one, and he often went to the bamboo mountain behind the farmer's house to eat bamboo shoots.

Quanzi still remembered that when he went to Zhushan to cut bamboo, the bamboo shoots came and barked at him. It was a small tapir cub, barking like a dog, very ferocious.

It must be because he often went to the farmer's yard, and the bamboo shoots were familiar with him. When we met one person and one tapir in Zhushan, the bamboo shoots not only stopped barking the dog, but also hugged the dog's thigh.

At this time, the bamboo shoots were hanging on the dog's legs, and he couldn't shake them off.

"Let go."

Quanzi squatted down, raised his fingers, and nodded at the bamboo shoot's head, pretending to be angry, and scolded.

Bamboo shoot stared at its bright eyes, and made a pleasant sound similar to bleating. It was mighty and unyielding, and still hugged the dog's left leg tightly.The dog scratched it, and it thought that the dog was playing with it, so it grabbed the dog's sleeve and hung on the dog's arm.

"Don't go yet, I will stew you."

Quanzi peeled off the tapir cub from his arm, carried it to the slope, and put bamboo shoots on it.There is a difference in height between Tupo and Gouzi, and it is not easy for a short-legged tapir cub to get down.

Seeing the pitiful look of the bamboo shoots circling on top, Quanzi smiled and said, "I'll take you down later."

Gouzi picked up the machete and continued to cut bamboo. Before he finished cutting a bamboo, he felt something was caught on his calf. When he looked down, it was still the black and white fur ball.

All right, that's agile.

Gouzi squatted on the ground, picked up the tapir cub again, and looked around, trying to find a place to trap it temporarily, but saw Zhuang Yang coming from the mountain road.

Now that the master is here, let me let you go. Gouzi put the bamboo shoots back on the ground.The front paws of the bamboo shoot flew towards Gouzi's feet, and Gouzi dodged quickly. The bamboo shoot was still full of ideas and wanted to come again, but suddenly Zhuang Yang called it: "Bamboo shoot, come here." It raised its head and looked in the direction of the sound, seeing that it was Zhuang Yang Yang, immediately stepped on the inner eight small steps and ran towards Zhuang Yang.

Zhuang Yang heard the sound of cutting bamboo from the back of the house upstairs, he guessed it was a dog, and when he came over to see it, it was indeed.

"A tapir cub is like a child, always looking for someone to play with."

Zhuang Yang knelt down and touched the bamboo shoot's head.

"Ah Hong is chopping bamboo, don't make trouble, just go and eat bamboo obediently."

Zhuang Yang trained the bamboo shoot, the bamboo shoot stared at the small eyes like black beans, and the paw rested on Zhuang Yang's calf.

Zhuang Yang picked up the bamboo shoot, brought it to a young bamboo bush, and handed the bamboo shoot a bamboo.After the bamboo shoots obediently ate the bamboo leaves, Zhuang Yang left and returned to Gouzi.The dog was still chopping bamboo, Zhuang Yang asked: "Is one busy enough?"

"can."

Gouzi seldom talked when he was working, so he chopped down the bamboo. There were already three pieces of bamboo on the ground, enough for him to cut bamboo strips to make a rabbit cage.

Zhuang Yang watched from the side, watching the dog cut off the leaves and side branches of the bamboo to facilitate transportation.The dog works like an adult, calm and patient.After handling the bamboo, he tied the bamboo with a rope and dragged it down the mountain in a while.The felled bamboo is thin and not heavy, but it still takes a lot of strength to drag it across the river from the bamboo mountain.

Zhuang Yang noticed that Quanzi's clothes were torn again, with split sleeves and holes in his trousers.He has to work a lot, and his clothes are not durable.Apart from the clothes, the cloth shoes on the dog's feet also had a hole on the head, exposing the toes.

Zhuang Yang looked at Quanzi's feet and felt that Quanzi should be able to wear his shoes.Zhuang Yang knew that it was not easy for the poor to wear a pair of cloth shoes, so they often wore straw sandals.Mother Liu's concern for Gouzi is limited, but she obviously gives him the best things she can.

"Don't go back yet, wait for me to get off."

"Oh."

The dog was obedient and waited in place.

Zhuang Yang went downhill, bamboo shoots chased after him, and one person and one tapir left quickly.When Zhuang Yang came back, he had an extra pair of shoes in his hand. He handed it to Quanzi and said, "The shoes I wore last year are still in good condition. I'll wear them for you."

Quan Zi didn't pick it up, but looked down at his shoes. Both shoes were worn out, showing his toes.

"Just sew it on."

Quan Zi shook his head, refusing to take it.The holes in the shoes can still be worn, just go home and ask my mother to mend them.

"Change it first, there are many snakes in the grass, so as not to be bitten."

"Thank you Jiro."

"No, try it on."

The dog took the shoes, sat on the ground, and put on the shoes.Zhuang Yang's shoes are just the right size for him.Gouzi tied his ripped shoes to the bamboo and took them back with him.

Zhuang Yang watched Quanzi leave, and saw him dragging the bamboo wood, walking slowly on the mountain road to the riverside.Watch him struggle to lift the bamboo onto the boat and row the boat across the river.

Zhuang Yang thought, he is only 13 years old, but he has a tenacious character. When he grows up, he should be a calm and resolute person.
