One advantage of a village built near water is that it is very cool at night in summer, but it is also because there are so many mosquitoes at night because it is near water.

Zhang Xuebing clapped his hands all the way and walked around outside the village.

When he came here, he observed that there was a clear stream flowing down from the mountain and flowing into the big lake behind the village.

Stream water is the best source of water for bathing. The purpose of his trip was firstly to wash away the dirt on his body, and secondly to find out about the grievances between the two Hua brothers.

"who?"

A boy's voice came from the woods ahead. Zhang Xuebing sounded a little familiar. It seemed to be the voice of Nian's cousin Fish Hook.

"Is it a fishhook? We have seen it during the day!"

As soon as Zhang Xuebing finished speaking, two bright flashlights shone over him. At the same time, Fishhook shouted, "Ah, it's you. Why are you in the woods so late?"

Two young boys appeared at the edge of the woods, holding flashlights and carrying nets and fish baskets.

Zhang Xuebing raised his hands to cover his eyes and walked towards them, "Hey, put it down when you see it clearly, don't look at it blindly!"

The two children hurriedly put down their flashlights. Fish Hook smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Doctor Zhang. I thought you were an outsider. What are you doing here at night?"

"Of course it's a bath!" Zhang Xuebing pointed to the direction where the stream flows into the lake.

The two of them looked at each other in confusion for a while and kept talking.

Another child said in surprise, "You are so bold. You go to the lake to take a bath in the middle of the night. Even the people in my village dare not go there!"

Fish Hook also advised, "There are a lot of aquatic plants on the edge of the lake. It's easy to get your feet tangled when you go down. How about I take you upstream to wash them!"

It's a good thing to have someone to lead the way. Zhang Xuebing happened to want to find someone to find out the inside story. Two inexperienced boys were the best targets.

The three of them walked towards higher ground along the edge of the woods. Zhang Xuebing saw what they were holding and asked curiously.

"Are you going to catch fish in the middle of the night?"

Fishhook shook his head and said with a smile, "Where are you? The big fish are all in the deep water and I can't get them. I'm going to catch shrimps at night so I can prepare a meal for my father tomorrow!"

The big fish caught in the fishing village are all sold for money, and I would never bear to eat them. In addition to vegetables and grains, I usually eat some small fish and shrimps.

Especially the oily, crispy and fragrant shrimps are a favorite among greedy children and adults who love to drink.

Zhang Xuebing suddenly understood, but looking at them, the guys seemed to be unable to catch many shrimps. He had an idea and remembered a method of catching shrimps he had seen before.

"You guys, even if you don't sleep this night, I'm afraid you won't get much!"

The other child smiled bitterly and said, "No, there are only a few shrimps, and they can jump very fast. Unless you have a big net to catch them, most of them will run away if you use a small net!"

Zhang Xuebing smiled slyly, "I'll teach you a way. You don't have to stay up late, don't have to work hard, and let those shrimps get into the fish basket by themselves!"

The two children stared for a long time and said in unison, "I don't believe it!"

Fish Hook said, "If there is such a way, I will worship you as my teacher and listen to you from now on!"

In addition, the child also said, "Yes, I, Hua Gouzi, will also become your teacher!"

Zhang Xuebing almost burst into laughter. It turned out that the two children, one named Fish Hook and the other Hua Gouzi, had the same first name except for their different surnames.

But this is not unusual. In the village, many families give their children a mean nickname so that they can make a living.

So when entering a village, be sure not to call them names such as Gouzi, Gou Sheng, or Shitou, otherwise a large group of people of different versions and styles will come out when you call them.

"It's a deal, you guys, go back to the village and find some..."

The two children were doubtful and turned around to run back to the village to find something, but Zhang Xuebing shouted.

"Take me to the bathing area first. You two can go get something at the same time, otherwise you will save time!"

"Hey, look at my brain!" Fish Hook patted his forehead and asked Hua Gouzi to go back to the village to prepare things. He took Zhang Xuebing to take a bath himself.

Not long after walking under the hazy moonlight, a crystal clear stream appeared along the hillside.

Fishhook pointed and shouted, "The water over there is just waist-high, which is perfect for taking a bath. I'll look at your clothes from the side, so you can wash them without worry!"

The stream is clear, flows slowly, and the banks are lined with clean bluestones. You can tell that people often come here to bathe and wash clothes. It is really a good place.

The stains on his body had been stained for a day. Zhang Xuebing was overjoyed and thanked him while taking off his clothes.

Fish Hook waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't thank me, I have to thank you!"

With a pop, Zhang Xuebing jumped into the water, wiped the water stains on his face, and asked, "Thank me for what?"

Fishhook gathered his clothes together, then dipped into the stream, and said, "Thankfully you saved Grandpa Hua, otherwise my brother and sister would have married a fool from Gaojiacun!"

Oh, is this the reason why my son poisoned me?

Without waiting for Zhang Xuebing to ask, Fish Hook continued, "If grandpa really dies, our village will never be able to find a saury nest again!"

What is a swordfish nest?

Zhang Xuebing poured a bucket of stream water on his head, and it suddenly occurred to him that this lake should be one of the famous spawning grounds of the Yellow River saury. How could I have forgotten this?

Yellow River saury is a famous aquatic product in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Its meat is tender and delicious. It was once known as the most delicious fish in the world. Because the output is very small, the price is extremely high.

Especially in the 1990s, the Yellow River's flow was often cut off, and the output of swordfish was even rarer or even extinct.

Since the Yellow River saury is a countercurrent migratory fish, it grows at the mouth of the Yellow River. Around March every year, it goes upstream to lay eggs and hatch in several freshwater lakes in eastern Shandong, and then continues to return to the sea to grow.

Although Zhang Xuebing didn't understand what saury fish nest meant, he could understand that Mr. Hua should have mastered the skill of catching saury fish, and that this skill was about to be lost.

While taking a bath, Zhang Xuebing was making insinuations as if in small talk, and poured beans out of a bamboo tube with a fishhook without any thought.

It turns out that among the four sisters of the Hua family, the only one who has not shown up is Hua Laidi, a peerless beauty who is rare in every village.

People are as afraid of being famous as pigs are afraid of being strong, so a stunning beauty will naturally attract gangsters.

There is an administrative village above Baihua Village called Gaojia Village. The village chief's son is a bit silly by nature, but he falls in love with Hua Laidi, who is as beautiful as a flower.

In order for his son to continue the family line, the village chief asked people from all over the world to come to Hua's house to propose marriage.

But how could Lai Di fall in love with a fool? Besides, she had already been admitted to college, so she declined many times on the grounds of going to college.

Later, I don’t know why, but the elders of the Hua family agreed. It seemed that my younger brother was about to marry a fool. At this time, the old man stepped in to stop the matter.

In this way, everything makes sense. Someone in the Gao family must have promised huge profits, and the boss of the Hua family wanted to kill his own father who blocked the matter for personal gain and the inheritance of fishing.

It’s simply worse than an animal!

Now that Zhang Xuebing has encountered this matter, he must take care of it, otherwise is he still a human being?

"Doctor Zhang, the fish hooks and everything are all ready..." At this time Hua Gouzi ran over, carrying the prepared things in his hand.

Fish Hook has also cleaned the dirt on Zhang Xuebing's clothes and shouted excitedly, "Doctor Zhang, let's go fishing for shrimps!"

In fact, the method of catching freshwater shrimp is very simple. You only need to use a few bones left by chewing, put them in a fish basket or bamboo basket, and tie the mouth tightly with a cage cloth.

If you throw it into the lake, the shrimps will naturally burrow into the basket, and it is easy to get in but difficult to get out. If you wait until you get the basket in the middle of the night and open it, there will definitely be a lot of shrimps inside.

After Zhang Xuebing finished speaking, the two of them went to the lake to experiment with doubts.

He carried the clean clothes and returned to Hua's house along the same route.

Walking outside the door, Zhang Xuebing was about to push the door open when his palm stopped in mid-air.

Isn’t it inappropriate for me and Xiao Chenchen to be in the same room today, alone and alone?
