portable space

Speaking of clothes, people in the mountains don’t have any special clothes when going into the mountains. They just wear tight-fitting clothes and tie up the whole body. At most, they bring a raincoat to prevent sudden rain. As for protective gear, they have never been bought.

, and it’s really not necessary..

After making these preparations, I finally took inventory and found that I still needed medicine.

Then he went into the study room in the back room and prepared some simple and effective hemostatic medicines and gold wound medicines, in case anyone broke the place, so they could be treated in time. There were also diarrhea medicines and cold medicines.

Some people cannot adapt to the climate, water and soil in the mountains after entering the mountains, and they will easily suffer from diarrhea or colds, which are minor ailments that can make people feel weak. Therefore, Zhang Taiping prepared some medicine in advance, so that if anyone develops symptoms, they will not be affected.

As for panicking.

After preparing the medicine, after thinking for a while, I placed a shovel and a long rope in the space.

This time when he went into the mountains, Zhang Taiping had a Taobao mentality. Some things that were useless in the eyes of others might be valuable to him. So he brought a shovel with him so that he could dig out flowers and trees at any time.

After packing up the equipment for going into the mountains, Zhang Taiping immediately felt at ease. Cai Yazhi always had endless work to do, but why did he always feel like he had nothing to do? He didn't know how Cai Yazhi found out those jobs.

After walking around the valley, there was no sign of Cai Yazhi. I felt strange. In the past, if Cai Yazhi was not at home, he would definitely be in the orchard. Today was an exception.

When I returned to the yard, I happened to see Yaya walking out with a bamboo basket.

"Yaya, where are you going? Where is your mother?" Zhang Taiping asked curiously.

"Dad, hurry up and catch fish in the river, there are so many fish." Yaya shouted happily when she saw Zhang Taiping.

"So many fish? Where are they?" Zhang Taiping was surprised. There was only one river in front of his door, and he had never seen any big fish in it. Even if there were, they were small fish that were two fingers wide and one finger long.

Fish of this size may be edible in cities, but in mountain villages, no one would think of eating such small fish. Even if they want to eat it, they don’t have the skills. They don’t know how to do it!

After hearing this, Yaya pulled Zhang Taiping to the edge of the basin, pointed at the fish in the basin and said, "Here, look, such a big fish was caught by my mother and I in the river."

Zhang Taiping was really surprised this time. The two big fish in the basin were as long as chopsticks. This had never happened before in the river. In addition to the two big fish, there were more than a dozen small fish. The washbasin was full.

In a pot, some fish were not honest and had already jumped out of the pot, with their mouths open on the ground, looking like they were about to die of drought.

Zhang Taiping put the two ones on the ground into a basin, changed the basin to a larger one, changed the water, and put all the fish in it.

Yaya led me to the place where Cai Yazhi caught fish, which was exactly where Zhang Taiping usually bathed. It was a relatively large pit with relatively deep water, forming a deep pool.

There are quite a few people gathered here now, at least twenty or so, and everyone has fishing tools in their hands. Some are homemade fishing nets, the kind that use gauze to sew a pocket, which can catch things and control water.

That's it; some are holding bamboo baskets made of bamboo strips, which can only catch big fish and miss small ones; the other kind, like Cai Yazhi, who is a woman, holds a sieve for sifting grain in her hand, which can catch big fish.

Catch small fish together.

Everyone has a happy smile on their face. Situations like this are rare. It is a rare thing in the dry and waterless north. In the countryside, if nothing else, people only go to the market during the holidays.

When you see fish sellers on the street, it is only at this time that you can dig out your pockets and buy one or two to take home and try. During the Chinese New Year, chickens don’t even count, only fish can be considered a good year.

Now that so many fish suddenly appeared in the river, it was simply a gift from God. How could people not be overjoyed? So everyone stared at the equipment in their hands and lifted it up as soon as the fish got into the trap. Then there was a burst of joyful cheers and

The envy and surprise among each other.

When Cai Yazhi saw Zhang Taiping coming over, she quickly waved and gestured.

In fact, those caught by Cai Yazhi are the fewest here, and some people have caught more than a dozen big fish. Old man Qian seems to be the most experienced, and the bamboo basket next to him is full of big fish, with more than a dozen.

He would put the small fish back when he caught it. But he couldn't keep the village chief and Wang Gui and his son from joining the battle together. Although their experience in catching fish was not as good as that of old man Qian, they were not bad at all. The two of them caught nearly twenty big fish in total, which is the largest fish here.

Caught the most fish.

Zhang Taiping did not take the sieve that Cai Yazhi handed over, but folded a wooden stick twenty times and stood in the water. When he saw a group of big fish going down, the water splashed, and the big fish would roll their eyes and float up, and they were knocked unconscious.

The people who saw it next to it were amazed and amazed. Some people saw that this method was simple and wanted to imitate it, but as soon as the wooden stick hit the water, the fish underneath would disappear without a trace with a sudden sound. After trying it a few times, nothing happened.

Having succeeded once, one can only marvel at how powerful Zhang Taiping's eyes must be.

Seeing Zhang Taiping knocking the fish with a wooden stick and knocking it accurately, Cai Yazhi continued to use a sieve to put it into the water and waited patiently.

Even Yaya was paddling by the water with a bamboo basket and could catch one or two small fish from time to time. Whenever this happened, she would scream out excitedly and mention Zhang Taiping to come and claim credit.

After being praised by Zhang Taiping, his face was like a flower and his smiling eyes were like a crescent moon.

The lion also stood next to Yaya at the water's edge, staring at the fish seriously. When the fish came over, he would raise his hand and slap it down. However, he was not as lucky as Zhang Taiping. Every time, no fish floated up, but instead splashed on the ground.

The dog's body was covered with water. He stepped back and fluttered for a while, shook off the water drops on his hair, and then continued to the river to stare at the bottom of the water. He was full of perseverance and spirit.

Parrots can catch fish, but this guy only catches some small fish and then flies to the edge to feast on them, without knowing that he has to work first.

The little squirrel didn't dare to touch the water. It only dared to jump back and forth on the shore, squeaking happily, and neither catching nor eating fish. I don't know how excited it was!

The Zhang Taiping family really mobilized their whole family, no one was left behind, big or small.

There is strength in numbers. The whole family joined the battle and soon caught a dozen big fish, one of which was as long as two chopsticks.

There is a saying that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. The clear spring water flowing in the mountains cannot raise big fish, because if it is too clear, the water will lack the nutrients and food that fish need to grow, so there will be no big fish.

If it appears, it will only be a small fish with finger length at most.

But now something is going wrong, so there must be a demon.

After Zhang Taiping stopped, the village chief and Old Man Qian had already stopped. Several people were holding a cigarette on the shore and discussing the reasons for this situation.

Wang Gui gave Zhang Taiping a cigarette, and the village chief asked: "Commander, do you know why there are so many fish in the river suddenly?"

"How could I know? I'm still planning to ask you." Zhang Taiping puffed out his smoke and said.

Old Man Qian took over the conversation and said, "Let me tell you, there must be a big pond in the mountains, and naturally there are some fish there."

The village chief stopped striking a match to light a cigarette, tilted his head and asked: "There is a big pond in the mountains? How do you say it?"

Old Man Qian pointed to the river and said, "Don't you see it?"

The village chief looked at the water in the river and said, "Qian is a donkey, please don't lie and tell me quickly."

Old Man Qian had a nickname. When he was young, he was stubborn and stubborn, like a stubborn donkey that couldn't be pulled back. So people of his generation called him "Qian Gang Donkey".

Old Man Qian was not angry when the village chief said this. He still said calmly: "The river water rose this morning, but it didn't rain in the mountains. Not only did it not rain, there was no cloud. How did this water come from?

?”

Only then did the people around notice that the water in the river was much higher than before. They were so excited about catching fish that they didn't notice it.

The village chief nodded thoughtfully.

Old Man Qian continued: "The water has risen inexplicably. There must be a reason. Besides, it also carries so many big fish. Such big fish cannot survive in living water or clear water. It can only be raised when the flow rate is not fast or simply...

Only a place with stagnant water can grow."

After looking at the people around him who were listening attentively, he made a final conclusion: "So there must be a big pond in the upper middle school that naturally holds so many fish. But now I don't know why the water leaked."

Everyone felt that this was very possible, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why so many big fish suddenly appeared. Zhang Taiping also agreed with this statement.

"If this is true, then we have to figure out why the water suddenly leaked! The village is squatting on both sides of the river. If there is a flood one day, the consequences will be disastrous." The village chief said with some worry.

After hearing this, people around felt the crisis. Some people clamored to go into the mountain to see what was going on. The fire was a commotion. After all, the houses were built next to the river. If there was a sudden flood that night, it would be terrible.

Disaster.

"Why are you panicking? Can calling out solve the problem? It has been fine for decades, and it can actually start to get wet when it gets wet?" the village chief scolded loudly.

Old Man Qian stood up at the right time and said: "Tomorrow I will go into the mountain to see what is going on. When we find out what is going on, we will come back and discuss countermeasures. There is no use panicking now."

The village chief and Mr. Qian played a bad role and a good role, and they cooperated very well. It was obvious that they had done this kind of thing frequently.

We still don’t know what the situation is, and we don’t have any good solutions. We can only wait for the news brought back from the mountains. It’s just that the feeling of having a knife hanging over your head is really uncomfortable. I just caught the fish happily.

Now they no longer have the inclination to pay any attention to them. They all carried the basins and scattered around to go home worriedly.

Zhang Taiping's family also packed up and went home. On the way, they heard the loudspeaker in the village informing the villagers of what they had just guessed.
