back to the field

For two days in a row, Tang Sixian caught fish and went back, but she found that the river at the end of the village was still a bit small, and the types and quantity of fish were limited. Lakes and rivers rich in aquatic products.

So early this morning, after Tang Qingman went to find work for picking sericulture, Tang Sixian also went out.

She tied the fishing net to her body, carried a net bag, and walked from the crisscross field ridges to the four to five feet wide river outside the village.

There are small fishing boats parked on the river, and a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat and short brown clothes stands on the boat and spreads his fishing nets. A few cormorants dive into the water and float up to spit small fish on the boat.

Tang Sixian secretly learned the posture of casting a net for a while, but found that her fishing net was still too small, and it was only about three meters in diameter when stretched out.But this fishing net was left by the landlord's family, and there are no other big fishing nets.

"Forget it, let's use it first!" Tang Sixian said to himself.She walked to the low-lying place, kicked off her sandals, and prepared to attract the fish before casting the net.

At this time, a villager who was working in the field came over with a fierce look on his face: "What are you doing? Who allowed you to fish here?"

If it were an ordinary boy in a foreign land, he might be frightened, but Tang Sixian was not at all afraid. He turned his head to look at him, and asked, "Do I need anyone's permission to fish here?"

The villagers didn't expect her to ask themselves back, their brains turned a little slower, and after a while they said: "You are an outsider, you are not allowed to fish here!"

"Is this river engraved with the name of Zhenqian Village? Or did your village raise funds to buy this river?" Tang Sixian asked again.

"Pfft—" There was a very short laughter from the side, Tang Sixian looked at the villagers together, and saw a weak willow Fufeng, I saw a pitiful woman standing not far away, holding a fishing rod in one hand , covered his mouth with one hand.

It was obvious that the laughter came from her, but no one cared about it. The villager glanced at her, ignored her, and fell in love with Tang Sixian.

Probably Zhenqian Village did not meet any of the above two points mentioned by Tang Sixian. The villagers did not take advantage of it, but he was extremely unwilling to let an outsider take advantage of it, so he blushed and said arrogantly: "I said you are not allowed to take advantage of it." Fishing is not allowed!"

Tang Sixian suddenly realized: "What kind of Lizheng are you?"

The villagers said: "I am not!"

"Then you are the village chief?"

"……no!"

"You chartered the river?"

"no!"

"Then what right do you have to not allow me to fish? You are neither the person in charge nor the owner of this river, so the emperor and the government are the only ones who have the right to not allow me to fish?!"

The villagers wanted to refute again, but Tang Sixian remembered something and said, "Oh, I remember, I went to the farm to find my uncle that day, and you were there. Are you from the Tang family? We are of the same clan anyway, so it is necessary to Kill them all?"

The villager jumped angrily: "Hey, who admits that you are of the same clan? Your father was expelled from the clan 20 years ago, and your name is not on the genealogy, so you'd better get out of here earlier and go back to Shezhou go!"

Tang Sixian dug his ears, and shouted in a pitiful tone: "The people of the Tang clan are bullying others, taking advantage of the power of the Tang family, bullying weak, poor and helpless children! Is there any law of the king, is there any law of heaven? !"

When she shouted like this, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone working in the field. A dozen eyes cast their gazes on them, and the villager became even angrier: "You!"

Tang Sixian's words seemed to pinch his veins. He was most afraid that he would tarnish the Tang family's reputation, so he hurried back to work in the field and explained to others that he did not bully Tang Sixian.

After watching the excitement for a long time, the woman saw that the crowd had dispersed, and she also prepared to leave.

Tang Sixian called her to stop, and asked in a low voice: "Hey little girl, ahem, little lady, is it true that people from other villages are not allowed to fish in this river?"

Qin Zhen was very confident when he saw this person just now, why is he discouraged now?

She thought it was funny in her heart, but she hesitated a little on her face, and said: "There is no explicit regulation, but after all, this section of the river flows through the village area, and the villagers generally regard it as the village's property."

Downs frowned enviously.

Qin Zhen had already guessed the identity of the other party at this time.

With such a face and accent that doesn't look like a local, and being targeted by the Tang family, he might be the "younger brother" of the siblings.

Thinking of this, she pretended to be unintentional and reminded: "It's just who are the villagers, so how can you tell? There are many main households in the village, but there are also [-]% customers."

Tang Sixian's heart moved. If she remembered correctly, Tang Qingman had mentioned to her that people with land and assets registered with the government as "principal households", but those who have no land and no assets need to work for others. It is "customers" who make a living.

There is also a kind of immigrant household whose household registration is elsewhere, has no fixed residence, and has no land assets, which are called "floating guests".

People like her who don't have household stickers are floating guests. Tang Qingman and Tang Sixian's siblings have their household registrations in Xiuning County, Shezhou, and they are also floating guests after they come here.But the government does not expel floating customers. If you can settle here, you can change your household registration here, even if you become a customer.

Of course, a floater like her who does not have a household registration card will not be so lucky. She must first be interrogated by the government, and then marry or marry a local, and wait another year before she will have an "identity card".

"How can I become a customer?" Tang Sixian asked again.

"Didn't the township scribes record your household stickers? Just follow the township scribes to the Yamen to apply for it."

Qin Zhen's words revealed that she knew who Tang Sixian was. The latter smiled knowingly and thanked this delicate little girl who exuded kindness invisibly: "Thank you, little lady."

He asked again, "What's your name, little lady?"

Qin Zhen didn't want to tell her, so he pointed to the fishing net in her hand, "Now that no one is obstructing you, let's hurry up and fish!"

After speaking, she was also ready to go fishing.

Tang Si envied her panting after every step, as if she could fall to the ground at any time, and thought, "I'm so weak, I don't know how to wear a bamboo hat to go out."

But this woman is right, no one is watching her now, if she wants to catch more fish, she can only take advantage of this moment.

After Qin Zhen walked away, he sat down in a place shaded by a mulberry tree, put on the bait and started fishing.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Tang Sixian raising his hand, as if throwing something into the river.

She turned her head to look, and in the distance she could only see schools of fish on the river scrambling to get out of the water, as if competing for bait.

Seeing this scene, she was slightly surprised, what kind of bait is so attractive?She didn't seem to have seen the urn with bait beside Tang Sixian just now.

Qin Zhen was distracted for so long that she didn't notice that the bait was eaten by the fish. She waited for a long time and saw no movement on the fishing line. She put away the rod and found that the earthworms on the hook were only half small.

She didn't rebait again, and continued to focus on Tang Sixian, watching the man pull the fishing net back, his movements were very stiff, but there were many lively fish in the fishing net.

Qin Zhen was far away, so he didn't know the number, but judging from the number of times Tang Sixian caught fish into the net pocket, there should be more than a dozen fish, and they weighed quite a lot.

Qin Zhen was a little envious of this fishing ability.

Not to mention Qin Zhen, Tang Sixian walked all the way back, avoiding crowded places on purpose, but how many people who saw the fish in her net bag were not jealous?

When Qin Zhen went back, he heard Tang Sihai, the villager who was blocking Tang Sixian's fishing just now, complained to other villagers angrily: "An outsider, why come to catch fish in our village? Lizheng doesn't care! "

Some people echoed: "Yes, the number of fish is getting less and less. He, a stranger, came and caught all our fish. What fish can we catch?"

"Go, settle accounts with him and drive him out of the village!" Tang Sihai urged.

The villagers who were still aggrieved just now looked at each other in dismay, counted the heads, and suddenly they were not willing to show their heads, saying: "Let's go to Li Zheng, and let Li Zheng uphold justice!"

Tang Sihai knew that this group of villagers was afraid of trouble, if there were not many people, they would not have the courage at all.He said: "I saw him catch a dozen big fish, it's worth hundreds of dollars!"

Money touches people's hearts, if they can snatch the fish, they can also get hundreds of pennies for nothing!

After being told by Tang Sihai, two or three villagers were moved and went to the end of the village with Tang Sihai.

"Sure enough." The corners of Qin Zhen's mouth curled up slightly, she knew that Tang Sihai would not let it go just because of Tang Sixian's words, so it was not unexpected that this scene happened.

She glanced at the fish in her hand. It had a big head, a protruding jaw, and spots on its body. It weighed about two catties. It was a very rare mandarin fish, also known as "smandarin fish".

Tang Sixian gave it to her when he left, and said: "I think you are delicate, so it's better not to bask in the sun for too long. This is a thank you gift for answering my questions just now."

Qin Zhen's eyes didn't have much trust: "Are you sure you want to give me this fish?"

Tang Sixian subconsciously glanced at the fish in his hand.She didn't know what kind of fish it was, but it looked edible.

"nature."

Qin Zhen had no reason to accept it, but she thought that this fish might really be a thank you gift—not to Tang Sixian for answering questions, but to thank him for helping later.

She accepted the fish and thanked her again.

After Tang Sixian left, she looked at the fish that was still alive and kicking, and finally confirmed that the person who caught it didn't know the value of the fish.

Because mandarin fish hides at the bottom of the water during the day and only comes out to hunt at night, not many people can catch it during the day; and because its meat is tender, delicious, and has few thorns, it is quite popular in the world, so the price is slightly expensive, like in her hand. This one weighs nearly two catties and is worth a hundred cash.

So, Tang Sixian casually gave her the most valuable fish in the net pocket.

Qin Zhen went home and put the fish into the water tank. Qin Yu happened to be in the yard, so he leaned over to take a look, and was very surprised: "Ah, Mother Zhen caught a sweet-scented osmanthus fish?!"

Facing the father who came to the door, Qin Zhen showed no mercy, and said: "Father, Tang Sihai has someone who wants to trouble Tang Sixian!"

Qin Yu blinked: "I don't care about the affairs of the Tang family."

"But this fish was given to my daughter by Tang Sixian. After accepting the fish from others, she didn't help people when they were in trouble. My daughter felt very sorry."

Qin Yu's eyes widened: "Ms. Zhen, how do you collect his fish?"

After a while, he came out of the yard angrily, and yelled at the neighbor's house: "Liu Da, Liu Da, I heard that there are troubles in the village, come and see with me!"
