He could easily drag Qin Xiaoxiao into the lake. The fish weighed at least twenty or thirty kilograms. Qin He tried to put away the fishing rod, but unexpectedly, as soon as he exerted his strength, the big fish under the water swam desperately to the center of the lake.
Go and almost drag him into the lake.
This big fish was much bigger than Qin He imagined, and he couldn't pull it up for a while. He hurriedly stuck the fishing rod on the big tree stump, and walked quickly home with Qin Xiaoxiao, who was shivering from the cold.
Knowing that the big fish was too big for his third uncle to pull up alone, Qin Xiaoxiao danced excitedly, urging his third uncle to walk faster and go home to find his grandfather and father for help.
When he got home, Mr. Qin and others were setting up a ladder to prune the branches of the old jujube tree that had just sprouted buds. The cut branches were carefully put aside. In the afternoon, they would insert the skewers into the soil to cultivate the jujube saplings.
Looking at the uncle and nephew who were all wet, the Qin family did not bother to ask further questions and quickly asked the uncle and nephew to go back to the room to change clothes. Mrs. Miao and Zhao Cao'er ran to the kitchen house to boil hot water and make ginger soup for the uncle and nephew to ward off the cold.
, just for fear that they would catch cold and get sick.
It was learned from the mouth of the Qin River that Qin Xiaoxiao was dragged into the lake by a big fish. The Qin family was frightened. When they heard that the fish was so big that the Qin River could not drag it, the men couldn't wait any longer and asked about fishing.
After finding the location, he hurried to the lake to catch fish.
In the room, Lin Qiuniang stripped Qin Xiaoxiao naked and stuffed her into the bed. After the hot water was boiled, she put her in a bucket to soak for a while to get rid of the cold, and then put her into a clean dress as quickly as possible.
clothes.
Looking at her silly girl, she was so angry that she slapped her little buttocks: "You almost fell into the lake and were fed to the fish, but you girl can still laugh!"
Qin Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the bed, threw herself into her mother's arms with a smile, and put her two little arms around her neck: "Mom, the big fish didn't eat me. When grandpa, father, and uncle pull the fish up, we can catch it."
The big fish is eaten!”
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!" Empress Lin Qiu Niang was very scared. She looked at her heartless daughter and stabbed her forehead heavily with her index finger: "You are not allowed to fish in the lake in the future!"
"No, mother, it was the big fish that made the first move, I didn't let it take the bait, you can't blame me~" Qin Xiaoxiao twisted her little body and tried her best to be coquettish with Lin Qiuniang: "Fishing is so fun, from now on I
How about not fishing for big fish that can pull me into the water?"
Lin Qiuniang was almost amused by her daughter's absurd reasoning, and couldn't help but slap her on the butt again: "If you say no, you won't. The lake is very dangerous. If your third uncle hadn't been here today, you would have really eaten it.
It’s fish!”
Qin Xiaoxiao held her butt that was numb from being slapped and groaned: "Mom is unreasonable, I'll tell grandpa."
Lin Qiuniang was so angry that she raised her hands and pinched her ears: "How dare you use your grandpa to suppress me? Do you think your grandpa will indulge you, right?"
"No, no, mom, please stop twisting it, the ear is going to fall off!" Qin Xiaoxiao begged for mercy again and again, trying to free the little ear: "Mom twisted the ear, and the ear can't hear what mom said. I don't know what mom said.
What’s up?”
"Humph, it's useless to beg for mercy. Wait until your father comes back and let your father take care of you!" Lin Qiuniang didn't use any force. Seeing that her daughter seemed to be in pain, she finally let go of her hand and pushed the little girl to the edge of the bed, sat down, and found a pair of
Put clean shoes on her.
Qin Xiaoxiao rubbed her hot ears and sighed longly: It's too difficult to reason with adults!
When they came to the yard, Lin Qiuniang pressed Qin Xiaoxiao to the corner to bask in the sun, and brought her a large bowl of ginger soup to drink. It was so spicy that the little girl kept sticking out her tongue, thinking that she could spit out the spicy taste.
.
Dahuang, the silly dog, squatted in front of Qin Xiaoxiao, tilted his head and watched her stick out his tongue, and unknowingly opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and imitated the little master, exhaling and inhaling. Everyone in the yard was amused.
.
Chubby was nestled on a pile of straw, basking in the sun and licking his fur. At this time, most of his thick fur was dry, but the head that couldn't be licked was still wet, forcing him to shake his head from time to time to relieve the discomfort of having his fur wet.
Qin Xiaoxiao found out, found the broken comb used to comb Bie Mea's hair, and combed Chubby's hair one by one.
It was probably because he had mastered the combing skills that Chubby felt the pleasure of being combed, so he simply stopped licking his hair, spread out his bulging belly and slept in a long strip, letting Qin Xiaoxiao comb him from head to tail.
After combing their hair twice, Mr. Qin and his son came back carrying the big fish in a state of embarrassment, followed by several villagers who were watching the fun.
"This black stick is too big. Can it be sold for a lot of money in the city?"
"To grow like this, this black stick probably lived for twenty or thirty years! The rich people in the city like to look like this for good luck."
"Uncle Wu is so lucky. He never has an empty hook when fishing, and now he can even catch such a big black stick!"
"..."
It's no wonder that the villagers are curious about it. This black stick is completely black with small black dots on its body. The head and tail are a bit longer than a human being. The head alone is bigger than the bowl of the ocean.
They have lived for decades, and the largest black stick they have ever seen is less than three feet. A black stick like this one, which is at least five feet long and weighs seventy or eighty pounds, is really rare.
Just now, in order to successfully pull up the black stick and prevent it from desperately escaping, the Qin family's father and son spent a lot of effort to get it to the shore.
I don’t know if the fishhook was swallowed whole by the black stick, and it struggled for too long, causing severe internal injuries. After being caught on the shore, the black stick didn’t move much. Otherwise, just because of its size and strength, I tried to get rid of it.
Coming back is not an easy thing.
"Mom, this, this fish is so scary!" Qin Xiaoxiao was also the first to see such a big fish, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to step forward next to Lin Qiuniang.
If it were a common fish such as grass carp, she wouldn't be so frightened, but the black stick looks too ferocious, much scarier than the white-flowered snake she caught last year. She always feels that the black stick has a big mouth, and it's scary.
Can swallow her in one gulp.
"Don't look at it if you're afraid. Go and play with Sanbao at the door." When Lin Qiuniang was a child, she would be afraid when she saw Wu Bang, so she didn't take her daughter's fear to heart.
Qin Xiaoxiao really didn't dare to look, and was about to pull Sanbao away when the half-dead black stick suddenly jumped up, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit her in the face.
"Ah!" Several villagers exclaimed and subconsciously scattered in all directions.
"Xiaoxiao!" The Qin family reacted quickly and subconsciously rushed over to pull Qin Xiaoxiao away, but Wu Guang was faster and they couldn't catch up.
"Meow!" At this critical moment, Chubby jumped out from the sloping ground and knocked the black stick away with all his strength, allowing Qin Xiaoxiao to narrowly avoid the black stick's attack.
Qin Xiaoxiao, who had escaped the disaster, collapsed on the ground with her legs weak. She stared straight at the black stick that fell on the ground and stopped moving. Something flashed through her mind. She always felt that this scene seemed familiar.
"Xiaoxiao!" Lin Qiuniang was closest to Qin Xiaoxiao, rushed towards her and hugged her, unable to help crying.
It was so close, so close, that her baby girl was about to be bitten by the black stick. Such a big black stick, such a huge impact, how could her little girl withstand such damage!
Mr. Qin and others quickly gathered around him. After making sure that Qin Xiaoxiao was unharmed, he felt relieved and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead from being frightened by the thrilling scene just now.
"Mom, don't cry!" Qin Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and stretched out her little hand to wipe Lin Qiuniang's tears: "If you cry again, I will cry too~"
"Hmm, mother doesn't cry, mother doesn't cry!" Lin Qiuniang was afraid of scaring her daughter again, so she quickly wiped her tears away. Looking at the motionless black stick on the ground, she slapped her daughter's butt hard again: "Look
Do you dare to fish in the future?"
This time the buttocks really hurt. Qin Xiaoxiao’s big eyes instantly filled with tears: “Mom, it hurts so much~”
"Humph, you should be obedient if you know it hurts!" Lin Qiuniang couldn't see her daughter crying, so she was so soft-hearted that she couldn't bear to teach her a second lesson, and even rubbed her butt for her.
Qin Xiao smiled and giggled, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
The days are so long, and it would be so boring not to fish! Well, if she doesn’t catch big fish and ugly fish in the future, she won’t be able to catch the big fish, and the ugly fish will scare her, so she will just catch crucian carp. The dried crucian carp made by grandma is also very good.
tasty!
While struggling in the water, Wu Bang was seriously injured by the fishhook in his belly and exhausted. He was pulled ashore by the Qin family and his son, half dead. The attack on Qin Xiaoxiao was its last blow. After being knocked away by Chuangchu
, and soon died.
The dead fish couldn't be sold at a high price, so Mr. Qin asked Qinshan Qinchuan to dispose of the black sticks, chop them into pieces and spread them in a dustpan to dry in the sun. They could be eaten for a long time, but it was a pity for several villagers.
Although the live black stick frightened Qin Xiaoxiao, the dead black stick was so delicious that she whetted her appetite and ate a lot of food.
Not to mention the others, even Chubby also ate a lot of brown rice mixed with black stick soup. Today is the happiest day of his life for eating fish.
In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoxiao sent Chubby away and went to bed to take a rest. As soon as her eyes closed, she began to dream. In the dream, she turned into a golden koi carp again, less than the size of a palm, but this time she was not there.
In the crystal clear stream is a huge lake.
There are many fish in the lake, and big fish eat small fish every day. The small fish are shrimps, and the shrimps eat mud. As a small koi, it has no race to rely on, and can only struggle to survive in many crises.
On this day, the little koi was very hungry and looked for food as usual. Unexpectedly, it was so unlucky that it couldn't find food. It even bumped into a black stick that was also looking for food!
The black stick is so big that one pelvic fin is as big as two small koi. The teeth in its big mouth are so long that they can easily penetrate the soft body of the small koi.
The little koi is not an ordinary fish. Other fish rely on instinct to find food and avoid natural enemies, but it can find ways to avoid danger by relying on the terrain.
Facing the pursuit of the behemoth Wu Bang, its small size not only became an advantage, it allowed it to avoid Wu Bang's big mouth more flexibly, and it also allowed it to get into narrow stone crevices.
But the black stick is not easy to mess with. It is too strong and can use the water flow to slap the little koi away from the cracks in the rocks with a slap of its tail.
In terms of physical strength and endurance, the little koi was far inferior to the black stick. After dodging left and right for a while, it was exhausted and could no longer run. Its strong desire to survive made it dare not stop, and it tried its best to shake the golden carp.
Red fish tail.
Perhaps his life was not meant to be cut off. Just when the little koi carp was about to be buried in the belly of the fish in the next moment, it was lucky enough to escape to the mouth of a creek that was only more than three feet wide. It went down the mouth of the creek and avoided
A fatal blow from the black stick.
Unexpectedly, Wu Bang also rushed down the creek mouth, and even landed in front of it with its powerful body, blocking its way of survival.
The little koi carp has no strength to escape and has no way to escape. Even if it turns around and goes upstream to return to the lake, it cannot run faster than the black stick. There is only a dead end waiting for it.
Seeing Wu Bang approaching step by step, the little koi trembled with fear and turned its belly in despair, hoping that Wu Bang would bite it into pieces and swallow it for the sake of waiting for death. At least there would be no pain.
"Stupid fish!"
At this moment, a thunderous sound rang through his ears, causing the little koi to turn over and look in the direction of the sound with wide eyes.
In the field of vision, there was an extremely huge golden cat. It struggled to look up, and all it could see was its thick limbs and soft belly.
The giant golden cat effortlessly picked up the black stick, which was just like a small loach compared to its size, and threw it away and flew out of the little koi's sight. If the black stick was lucky enough not to fall to death, he might be able to survive the fall.
Before dying, return to the lake to survive.
