Chapter 11 (1/2)

There was a fishing net in Changle's house. Yu Qingze saw it when he woke up on the first day.

After waking up in the afternoon, Chang Le took out his fishing net and put it into the barrel. The long bamboo pole passed through the barrel and carried it on his shoulder, so he was ready to start.

At this time, Chang Hao was still asleep.

”Brother Le, are you waiting for Xiao hao?” Yu Qingze woke up when he heard the news. Seeing Changle ready at the kitchen door, he asked. Listening to Chang Hao's tone in the morning, it is clear that he is looking forward to fishing.

Chang Le shook his hand and said he would go alone. After gesturing, he walked out.

Yu Qingze hurriedly followed and said, ”I'll go with you.”

Chang Le blinked and waved his hand.

Yu Qingze said, ”brother Le, I haven't caught fish. I want to learn from you.”

Chang Le made a stroke.

Yu Qingze guessed that he should ask if he could swim, so he nodded and said, ”I can swim. I should swim well.”

Chang Le wanted to refuse, but seeing Chang Hao turn over in the hall, he quickly nodded and walked out. If he doesn't go, Chang Hao will wake up. He doesn't want to take his brother.

My home is not far from the river. I'll be there in less than ten minutes.

There is a simple small wharf by the river. The villagers pile it up with stones, and there are some stone slabs on the side, which can be used to wash clothes. Sometimes when there is little water in the stream in winter, people in the village come here to wash clothes. On the other side of the wharf, there are three wooden stakes and three small fishing boats.

There was a cabin on the shore. An old man was mending his fishing net at the door. When he saw Changle, he said happily, ”brother Le, are you going to fish today? Are you finished in the field? ”

Chang Le smiled, nodded and gestured.

The old man replied, ”I didn't go today. The net broke yesterday and I'm mending it. Go quickly. At the moment, most of the fish are hiding in the shade. ”

Chang Le nodded and took Yu Qingze to the side of the boat.

Later, the old man shouted again: ”don't go too far, call me if you have something!”

Chang Le nodded, waved to the old man, then bent down and untied the rope of the boat on the right, dragged the boat to the shore, waited for Yu Qingze to go up, and then went up himself.

When Yu Qingze was a child, he also took such a small fishing boat at his grandfather's house. Once he got on the boat, the boat would shake. At that time, he was always afraid that the boat would overturn and fall into the river. He had to hold the side of the boat tightly with both hands. His grandfather always laughed at him for fear of coming up again.

I'm not afraid now, but grandpa has long been gone.

Yu Qingze shook his head, adjusted his mood and sat down at the other end.

Changle put the fishing net and bucket away, supported by a long bamboo pole, and the boat gradually moved away from the shore.

At this time, a small figure on the shore rushed to him and shouted, ”brother! Brother Yu! Wait for me! I'm going too! ”

But the boat didn't stop and didn't return.

Chang Hao on the shore was anxious and angry, and his brother didn't take him! How angry!

The old man smiled and said, ”Oh, it's a pity that he didn't catch up again...”

Chang Hao glared at the old man angrily and said, ”Grandpa, why don't you let my brother wait for me for a while!”

The old man obviously knew them very well and said, ”your brother doesn't want you to follow. What can I do?”

Hearing the speech, Chang Hao stopped talking, sat on the stone angrily and looked at the boat eagerly.

Yu Qingze saw the little boy sitting there and asked Chang Le, ”are you always like this?”

Chang Le turned around and nodded with helplessness on his face. My brother always wants to follow him, but he's still young. He's afraid

The river is very wide. Looking at the past, you can only see a vague shadow on the other bank, at least a kilometer or two. The water was sparkling, and gulls flew by from time to time.

Instead of going to the middle, Chang Le reached a little downstream, more than 100 meters from the shore, changed a pole into an oar, rowed and observed. It's too hot at the moment. Many fish will go to the shore to cool off. Finally, Changle seems to see the fish and stop.

Yu Qingze had never caught fish, so he watched.

Chang Le lowered the anchor, took the fishing net, straightened it out, held one-third of the fishing net and some of the net kicks in his left hand, hung the net kicks on his thumb in his right hand, held the remaining net kicks, and then looked at the water surface and scattered the fishing net（ Note 1)

Changle's movement was smooth and smooth, and the fishing net opened and jumped into the water like a big cover.

When the line ends, the fishing net sinks into the water. After a while, Changle slowly closes the net.

When the fishing net came out of the water, Yu Qingze was surprised to find that there were really three or four fish in it.

”Hey, there are four! Eh, what kind of fish is this? ” When Changle got the net into the cabin, Yu Qingze went over to help get the fish out, but found that the larger fish with patterns on its back didn't know it. It may be a unique species here.

Changle made two gestures, but Yu Qingze couldn't understand it.

They stared for a moment.

Chang Le's mouth opened for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound in the end. He stepped down his shoulders in frustration.

Yu Qingze scratched his head and said, ”go back and ask Xiao Hao and grandpa.”

Chang Le can only nod helplessly.

Take out all the fish in the net. One is relatively small. Changle set it free. Then they changed several places to cast nets. Sometimes they could catch fish, sometimes there were no fish.

”Brother Le, can you give me a try?” Yu Qingze's heart itched when he saw Changle sprinkle some.

Chang Le nodded simply and handed him the straightened fishing net.

Yu Qingze took it over and recalled Changle's actions. He grasped what his left and right hands should grasp and what they should hold. He felt that there was no problem and asked Changle, ”is that so?”

Chang Le raised the rope at the top of the net to his eyes.

”Oh, forget, this will be wrapped in your hands.” Yu Qingze awkwardly picked it up and wrapped it up again.
