Cultivation Guide

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long.

At this time, Yunshui Township was shrouded in a thick fog, and only a silhouette could be vaguely seen from a distance.

When Yunhua walked out of the house, he rubbed his hands first, then went to the woodshed to carry the fish basket on his back, and went out against the cold wind.At this time, most of the people are asleep, and only people from poor families like Xiang Yunhua have to get up early to make plans for the day.

Yunshui Township is surrounded by a large lake, and there are plenty of fish in the lake. Relying on this lake, every household in the village has built blue tile houses.

Of course, there are exceptions, and this exception is the Yunhua family.

In fact, Yunhua's family was also very wealthy in the early years, but his grandfather didn't teach his father well, and his wealthy family property was lost by his 15-year-old father who gambled away.In a fit of anger, the old man didn't slow down, and then left.Leaving his father and his grandmother, the orphans and widows are left alone in the world.

With such a big oil bottle, his grandma can only be a widow. His grandma is strong, and she saved a sum of money by embroidery to marry his father a wife.

After his grandfather died, his father finally came to his senses and stopped going to the casino.After marrying his mother, his father also became more sensible and did what he could, and everything gradually got better.Then came Yunhua, but the good times didn't last long. When Yunhua was five years old, his father got drunk again.

Alcohol is better than wine. At least it doesn't cost as much as gambling. He has been stumbled all these years, and the three adults in his family have also brought him up. Now he is 15 years old.

Not long ago, after his father came back from drinking, he accidentally fell over a small stone in a daze. It was at night and in winter, and his father never got up after falling. When he was discovered, his body was covered with a thin layer of ice.

His grandma loved her son very much. It can be said that his father was spoiled by his grandma. After hearing the news, his grandma, just like his grandpa, didn't slow down and followed his father.

All of a sudden, two people were missing, and both Yunhua and his mother felt quite uncomfortable.But because of his father's unreliability, he started to be self-reliant early on. As his grandma got older, he has gradually become the pillar of the family.

So, after being sad for a while, Yunhua and his mother also slowly recovered.Without a prodigal toy, their orphans and widows gradually became better, and now they can save a small sum of money in their hands.

Yunhua walked past his mother's room lightly, and walked out of the yard. The family's puppy followed Yunhua very quietly without making a sound.

After walking out of the yard, Yun Hua whispered a lesson to the puppy, wanting it to go back, but unfortunately the dog hadn't heard him since it moved into his house ten days ago, and he only said something symbolically , won't really drive it back.

One dog and one person tacitly walked towards the lake, and within two steps, Yunhua hugged the puppy into his arms.

The puppy is warm all over, and holding it is as comfortable as holding a stove.After discovering this, the puppy is often hugged by Yunhua.

Yunhua tiptoed to the edge of the lake with the puppy in his arms. At this moment, the surface of the lake was still covered with a layer of white mist, which looked as if the lake was smoking. This scene looked really beautiful, like a fairyland .

It's just that the sky is still dark at this time, and it's still gray when you look up.

At the edge of the lake, Yunhua first carried the puppy down, and then put down the fish basket behind his back.Being caught by fishermen for many years, the fish in the lake have also become extremely savvy. It is difficult to catch these fish without fishing nets and fishing boats.

Yunhua's family didn't have a fishing boat, and the fishing nets were tattered, so he wasn't obsessed with fishing, but caught other things, such as crabs, as well as small shrimps and small fishes the size of a fingernail.

In the past, after the villagers caught the fish, there would be special fish collectors to collect it. These fish collectors only wanted big fish, and they disliked small fish and shrimps like that.

The fish in the lake can be sold far away, and Yunhua, who is not yet literate, only uses the word "far away" when talking about far away.

However, in the places that are closer to Yunshui Township, most people will not come to buy fish, but will come to catch them by themselves.Because this lake is very, very large, Yunshui Township only occupies a small area on the edge of the lake.

However, only Yunshui Township can catch fish for a living, and no other place can do it.Because there are many, many fish only here, and the rest of the lake has only water and very few fish.These places can only catch a few fish to satisfy their hunger, and they cannot feed the entire village like Yunshui Township.

Small fish and shrimps usually live by the lake, which is convenient for Yunhua, he can catch these small fish and shrimps and sell them.

However, he had to go to the town to sell, and the people he sold to were as poor as his.They couldn't afford big fish, so they bought them from him.

Although the fish he catches every day can't be sold for a few dollars, he can sell at least a few copper coins a day. After ten days, he can have at least twenty or thirty copper coins.

This winter, Yunhua made a lot more money than in spring, summer and autumn.At this time, the fishermen in the village don't like to go out to fish. If he catches a few big fish occasionally, it can cover his five-day earning.So, in winter, he would go out every day to catch some fish, and then carry them to the town to sell.

Of course, Yunhua usually doesn't make a living from this, after all, he can only support himself with this little money.He also has a job as a waiter in a restaurant in the town. The restaurant is open from noon to evening, but it will not affect his fishing in the morning.

Yunhua walked along the path by the lake as usual, passing through the dry grass about his height to the water's edge.The puppy who came with him was very smart. Since he came here with him, it ran to the water's edge to wait for him the next day.

It will not whine or chirp when it encounters strange things like other puppies. Instead, it will sit there quietly, or sniff around, anyway, it will not disturb Yunhua. fish.

Today, the puppy still ran in front of Yunhua. Although its short legs were short, it ran very fast. When Yunhua put down the fish basket, it was already running to the water's edge, and he was gone all at once. disappear before my eyes.

Yunhua hurriedly followed, at this moment, a puppy barking suddenly came from the water's edge.His heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked towards the water's edge.

As soon as he got there, Yunhua saw two boys who were a few years older than he looked lying on the edge of the water.
