Chapter 886 Broken Fear
On the banks of the Huishui River.
The fisherman's roar resounded in Li Han's ears, deafening. He was stunned on the spot, his eyes blank.
Yao Yiyao laughed out loud and praised generously, "Li Dahan, you are really good at making things happen!"
Li Qingyang just felt that it was out of character. Li Han seemed down-to-earth, so how could he do such a brainless thing?
Li Han didn't quibble or evade. He came from a well-off family and he corrected his mistakes immediately: "Uncle, how much is it? I'll compensate you!"
The fisherman saw that the young man had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, so he showed the indifferent attitude of a fisherman and waved his hand: "Forget it, it's just a broken phone."
After saying that, the fisherman raised his legs and prepared to go back to fishing, showing his magnanimity.
Li Han knew that he had met a good person. The more so, the more he should not treat the good person unfairly: "No, I have to pay. Uncle, how much is the phone? I will give you the money now!"
Li Han said as he reached into his pocket, a little excited: "But uncle, I don't have any cash, I'll transfer it to you via WeChat!"
The fisherman paused, he was so angry that he laughed.
After Xue Yuantong used the turtle to skip stones, she continued to sit by the river and fish. She shared this with Siyu and sent a voice message saying "hahahaha" and laughing.
Chen Siyu replied to her: "Tongtong, why are you laughing? Since WeChat can't transfer, can't you just use Alipay? Are you stupid?"
Xue Yuantong suppressed his smile and continued fishing.
The surrounding environment returned to calm again.
Li Han was so embarrassed that he went to the river and sat down obediently. He led a few people to set up a nest and start fishing. This time, he would win.
Yao Yiyao stood by the river, looking down at the calm water. She had a premonition that she would not be able to eat Xue Yuantong's fish at noon today.
Xue Yuantong was discussing: "I plan to make fried fish for lunch. Have you ever tried it? Kill the live fish first, chop it into pieces, and then fry it in a pan. It tastes really crispy."
Jiang Ning: "Well, well, well, you are worthy of being a great chef."
Yao Yiyao: “That’s amazing.”
But she didn't even see the shadow of the fish.
While Jiang Ning was waiting, he took out his phone and asked in the group: "Just now, a broken phone fell into the river."
Dong Qingfeng: "What phone?"
Jiang Ning: "It should be Coolpad Dashen F1."
Dong Qingfeng: "I know this model, it has a good price-performance ratio. It is said to be a competitor to Xiaomi, but in fact it is 50-50 with Redmi."
When talking about mobile phones, he talked incessantly and was as enthusiastic as if he had met a beautiful girl.
When Lu Qiqi heard them discussing Android phones, she proudly said, "I only use Apple phones."
Dong Qingfeng: "Apple is OK, but you can't remove the battery, so the battery life is not that good. It also uses a single SIM card, so you need to find a SIM card pin to remove it."
Cui Yu said: "Qiqi is so delicate. Last time I gave her my Xiaomi's SIM card pin, she said it would damage her phone."
Lu Qiqi retorted: "Isn't that right? Although the Android card pin can be used, it doesn't feel good and may damage the motherboard."
As a senior mobile phone enthusiast, Dong Qingfeng sneered at the screen and deliberately said: "Yes, Apple phones are difficult to maintain. Every time I charge them, I am afraid that I will overcharge them and affect the health of the battery."
Lu Qiqi agreed very much: "Yes, the voltage in China is unstable."
Ma Shicheng: "Oh, yes, yes, every time I charge my iPhone, I fly to the United States to charge it."
Wang Longlong: "You are confused, Brother Ma, this is assembled by Foxconn in Henan, you have to go to Henan!"
Lu Qiqi's face turned from blue to red.
……
Jiang Ning put away his phone with satisfaction, but saw a shadow of a fish in the river ahead.
Soon, Xue Yuantong and Yao Yiyao both discovered the fish.
Faintly, one can see a large brown-yellow fish swimming in the water very close to the shore. It swims very slowly, as if it is tempting the fishermen on the shore.
Xue Yuantong stood up immediately, pointed at it and shouted, "Damn fish, how dare you!"
She shook the fishing rod in her hand, trying to hook the fish to the shore, but of course it was impossible because it was not a harpoon.
Then, Xue Yuantong let go of the fishing rod and wanted to go down to the river to catch fish.
But he heard Yao Yiyao's voice to stop him: "Don't, don't!"
Xue Yuantong stopped and turned to look at her.
Yao Yiyao's face was covered with fear, and her tone was extremely solemn: "My father once told me the allusion of "Don't pick up birds when you go up the mountain, and don't pick up fish when you go down the river", because this kind of fish is called the guide fish!"
She said in a deep voice: "The guide fish is to lead people to the underworld. This kind of fish seems to swim very slowly and move very sluggishly, but if you dare to catch it, it will immediately become agile and then lure you to continue walking into the river, and finally..."
At this point, Yao Yiyao suddenly said, "By the time you realize you can't catch it, you've already reached deep waters and drowned! This is a fish that's taking your life!"
Xue Yuantong was frightened. She looked down and found that her toes were less than ten centimeters away from the water surface, and the fish was swimming right beside her feet!
Xue Yuantong silently pulled her little feet back in, just like pulling her little feet outside the quilt back into the quilt at night.
Yao Yiyao: "My dad said that there was a man in their village who was very good at swimming, and he drowned in this way, so we must never catch him."
The movement here attracted Li Qingyang who had been paying attention. Li Qingyang ran over to investigate the situation and also discovered the unusual fish.
She and Yao Yiyao were from the same circle and had also heard of such strange folk stories.
Li Qingyang looked at the dark fish shadow and felt cold all over. He blurted out, "Isn't this a guide fish?"
Li Qingyang said: "My grandfather said that in the past people were often killed by guide fish because you don't know how deep the water is when you step into it!"
Xue Yuantong had only heard of water ghosts and such, but this was her first time seeing a guide fish. She was shocked: "Is it that scary? If I don't go into the water and fight it, will it let me go?"
Yao Yiyao said anxiously: "This is a guide fish! Its lifespan is very long and it can live until death!"
Why did Xue Yuantong feel like something was not right?
Li Qingyang hugged his arms and stared at the guide fish swimming in the water. The fish swam slowly, like a ghost summoning souls.
Under the scorching sun, she felt even more terrified and couldn't help asking, "Did you hear the call of the guide fish?"
Yao Yiyao got goosebumps and said quickly, "I heard it, I heard it!"
Xue Yuantong was also trembling with fear.
Jiang Ning was convinced. He showed his cell phone and said, "Of course you can hear it, because I'm playing supernatural music."
Li Qingyang: “…”
Yao Yiyao: “…”
It was so embarrassing. The two were angry and speechless. What kind of person is this? He only plays weird tricks on them when they are scared!
Xue Yuantong was also extremely ashamed. In order to save her dignity, she deliberately planned:
"Since this guide fish wants to trick me, can I back off and let it get closer to the shore little by little? Because its attention is always on me, it won't pay attention to the depth of the water at all. In this way, it will slowly swim to the shore and eventually be suffocated to death!"
She was thinking about the feasibility of the method.
Yao Yiyao: "You are too... fanciful, aren't you?"
Jiang Ning commented: "She is on par with Comrade Siyu."
"On the contrary, Tian Gang!" Li Qingyang remained silent, his original fear diluted a lot by the embarrassment.
Jiang Ning said: "It's too troublesome."
As he spoke, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and walked a few steps to the shore.
Yao Yiyao quickly reminded: "Be careful..."
Before he could finish his words, in the next scene, Jiang Ning raised a wooden stick and swung it at the guide fish. Water splashed everywhere and the fish was stunned by the stick.
Jiang Ning used the wooden stick to push again, and a big grass carp was pulled to the shore.
"Ah?" Yao Yiyao was stunned when she saw the big grass carp.
She was speechless for a moment and stammered: "This is a guide fish, right? Can't it be...right?"
Jiang Ning was extremely calm: "Who cares if it's a guide fish? In my eyes, it's just a dish!"
He casually picked up the big grass carp and threw it into the bucket: "More than three pounds of wild grass carp, it will definitely be enough for lunch."
Xue Yuantong's eyes lit up: "Enough to make three flavors of fried fish: sweet, spiced, and slightly spicy!"
Jiang Ning: "I like slightly spicy food."
The celebrations on their side became louder. Li Han and his friends came to join in the fun. When Li Han saw the fish in the bucket, he almost lost his mind. Are you kidding me? Fish caught with a children's fishing rod?
As a result, news like "three pounds of grass carp" and "fried fish" reached the ears of anglers.
The fisherman was getting a little restless, knowing that others had caught fish was much more painful than having his phone thrown into the river.
He wanted to get up and take a look, but he was worried that while he was looking at other people's catches, the fish he was about to catch would run away, so he could only sit there anxiously.
……
"We're going home." Xue Yuantong said goodbye.
Yao Yiyao glanced at Li Qingyang and said, "Shampoo, take it away."
After she finished speaking, she followed Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning, especially Xue Yuantong, who carried a bucket of fish in one hand and a wooden stick for hitting the fish in the other, like an old fisherman, walking without recognizing any relatives.
Li Qingyang stood there. After the excitement was over, she actually felt a little lonely. She hadn't been there for long, but whether it was the old rival rocking car, the little girl just now, or the weird Jiang Ning who was smashed to pieces with a stick... it was so unique...
Unfortunately... Li Qingyang knew that for many people in this world, the first meeting was also the last time they met each other in their lives.
When Li Han found out that Yao Yiyao had left with another boy, he felt a pain in his heart. His Yaoyao was with someone else.
Li Han sighed in his heart and said, "Sister, let's continue fishing and go back to the farmhouse to try some. Brother Wang said the food there is quite good."
Li Qingyang retracted his gaze: "Okay."
On the way back, Yao Yiyao passed by the fisherman and looked at the little yellow duck fishing rod in Jiang Ning's hand. She couldn't help but wonder: "Have you really caught fish with this fishing rod before?"
Jiang Ning: "Xue Yuantong is fishing, and those who are willing will take the bait."
Yao Yiyao was well-educated and knew this story. She said rationally, "But fishing is difficult. Look at that uncle. He is so professional, but since we came here, I don't think he has caught a single fish."
The fisherman by the river turned pale and was so angry that his liver ached.
What could he do? He had to pretend he didn't hear it.
Xue Yuantong groaned, "Ambition does not depend on age!"
The fisherman was depressed. What did he do to offend anyone by fishing? His phone was thrown at him and he was attacked by a little girl.
Yao Yiyao: "Ah, let's keep our voices down so he doesn't hear us."
Jiang Ning: "Maybe you have heard it."
Yao Yiyao was stunned and asked, "Should we apologize?"
Jiang Ning: "It's okay, I forgive you on behalf of my uncle."
Yao Yiyao was taken advantage of. She said, “Haha.”
Several people gradually walked away.
The fisherman's ears gradually became quiet. He then turned around and looked at their receding backs. To be honest, he had never seen an angler with such simple fishing equipment. He was definitely a poor fisherman.
Then, he turned to the other side and looked at another group of young boys and girls. They seemed much more professional, some of them were making baits and arranging equipment. Although their fishing equipment could not compare with his, it was not cheap either and they were definitely rich fishermen.
The children were still noisy. While the fisherman was watching, a little girl came over and gave him two bags of snacks.
When he took a look, he found it was the popular Three Squirrels. After giving it to the girl, she quickly ran away.
The fisherman looked at the group of noisy children and thought about how good it was to have the carefree feeling of youth.
He suddenly thought of a saying: "Fishing when you are young is better than fishing when you are rich or poor."
……
on the way home.
Jiang Ning received a message from Xue Chuchu.
Xue Chuchu had prepared all the necessary dishes, even the condiments for the fried fish that Xue Yuantong had mentioned, and was just waiting for Tongtong to bring the fish home.
Subconsciously, without realizing it, she had come to trust Jiang Ning extremely much.
She wanted to ask whether he had caught any fish, but she didn't ask Tongtong and chose to ask Jiang Ning instead.
Chuchu's message was as subtle as her personality, beating around the bush: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ning replied immediately: "I'm getting back to you."
Xue Chuchu pursed her lips and continued to ask: "What about the front?"
Jiang Ning: "Wait until you ask me what I'm doing."
"Smooth talk..." Xue Chuchu frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of silence.
Jiang Ning's next sentence: "I've caught a fish. I'll let Tongtong tell you later."
At this time, Tongtong had walked a long way carrying the bucket, and her hands were a little tired.
"Jiang Ning, I've finished my exercise. Let me give you some exercise," she said.
Jiang Ning: “That’s it?”
Yao Yiyao saw that Xue Yuantong was tired, so she said, "Xue Yuantong is still growing."
Xue Yuantong was both happy and unhappy. She was happy because she was still growing and could grow taller, but she was unhappy because she seemed very childish in the eyes of others.
Jiang Ning: “The future is promising.”
Since he took over the bucket, Tongtong freed her strongest right hand. She took out her cell phone, took a close-up photo of the wooden stick in her hand, and sent it to Chen Siyu: "Do you want my ultimate weapon?"
Chen Siyu: "It's useless for me to have this!"
Xue Yuantong: "But, this is a wooden stick, isn't it cool?"
Chen Siyu: "Cool, but I can't use it. I like your gloves more than this stick. They're so cute."
Xue Yuantong thought about it and decided to give her some strong medicine. She said seriously:
"Siyu, imagine that one day you come home and find a thief has broken into your house and is stealing things. What would you do? Would you hand him a pair of gloves and say, 'Please wear gloves or you will leave fingerprints', or would you pick up a stick?"
Chen Siyu thought about it and said awkwardly: "But I don't dare to commit suicide with a stick!"
