Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 176 Yang Qiaoer’s Master Chengzhou

Too lazy to pay attention to the two exaggerated little women, Wang Chengzhou and Xu Xiaozhi concentrated on fishing.

They were the only two people in the team who didn't even see fish.

Wang Chengzhou was okay, but Xu Xiaozhi was so greedy that she wanted to cry.

The whole person was autistic, paying no attention to anyone, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to fishing.

"Oh, big fish!"

Finally, the hard work paid off. Xu Xiaozhi opened the door first without being at the bottom. She knelt in the river trap and pressed something firmly with her hands.

Because she was relatively short, when she knelt down, the water almost covered her upper lip.

In her excitement, the water surface shook and she choked several times. She mumbled, "Wang Xiucai!"

Upon hearing her cry for help, Wang Chengzhou ran over quickly.

When he stretched out his hand to pull her, she didn't let go. She still kept her kneeling position, desperately grabbing the big fish with both hands.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

When she got out of the water, she couldn't help but cough, choking so much that she almost lost her breath, "My fish, don't let me run away!"

"I caught a fish, I caught a fish!"

"Wang Xiucai, help me quickly, don't let it escape!"

Wang Chengzhou couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. Looking at the miserable condition of the fish, he covered his forehead and took a deep breath.

He thought to himself: Auntie, it has already vomited blood after being pinched by you, can it still run away?

This girl is truly a scheming woman. She can catch a fish and not let go until she drowns.

The two pink little hands were almost thrust into her cheeks, so how could she run away?
I guess the fish can talk, so I have to curse them!

Don't tell me, this fish is really big, and it's also a carp.

Wang Chengzhou quickly helped her install it.

This girl, all wet, stood in front of him, wiping the water on her face, almost crying with joy.

But he wrinkled his straight nose and promised:
"Wang Xiucai, this time it's my turn to treat you to fish."

"I'll buy a piece of tofu from Uncle Changsheng when I get back, and we'll stew a big carp for dinner tonight."

"I, Xu Xiaozhi, am the host!"

Wang Chengzhou laughed so hard that he coughed and quickly accepted her invitation.

Unexpectedly, just when I was happy, there was another scream from Little Pepper next to me.

No need to think about it, the fish ran away again...

Wang Chengzhou was speechless. He hadn't seen a single fish for most of the day, and she had already caught two in a row.

What a waste!

Then, with a thought in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, "Little Pepper, when you scooped up the fish, did you go for the fish's head?"

"no?"

Wang Caiyun was angry and wanted to bite someone, so he said angrily: "If you don't go for the head, how can you go for the butt?"

Wang Chengzhou was speechless for a moment and didn't know what she was talking about.

After reacting, he said in shock: "You scoop at the fish's head, and you won't be able to catch a fish until tomorrow!"

"What?"

Xiaojiao asked back, furious, "You brat, you actually cursed me? Fortunately, I just killed my relatives and spoke for you!"

"I'm not cursing you, it's just you who are stupid!"

Wang Chengzhou replied angrily:

"When human eyes see things in the water, there will be visual errors."

“Aim your scoop under the fish, not straight at the fish’s head.”

"You're not scooping up fish, you're just using the scoop to slap people in the face. You're the only one who can catch fish!"

And...there is still such a saying?

Little Pepper was stunned, looking at the fish scoop in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Needless to say, after getting his guidance, she actually scooped out the fish.He was so happy that he put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky laughing.

At this moment, Wang Chengzhou was completely depressed.

It shouldn't be!

Several girls have gained something, why is she the only one left empty-handed?

At this moment, the entire Hetao was full of people.

It is estimated that all the villagers from the villages near Baihe came here.

Everyone has gained something more or less.

Of course, most of the ones caught were crucian carp. It was rare to catch big carp and big grass carp as soon as Xu Xiaozhi and Wang Aiduo did.

However, fish weighing about one or two kilograms is not a lot.

I guess the guy who tipped off the news was right. The fish pond upstream must have been flooded, which is why so many fish escaped.

Seeing that even some children had caught fish, Wang Chengzhou finally couldn't stand it any longer and secretly walked deeper.

Several people were so engrossed that they didn't notice him for a while.

Along the river embankment, the water flowed from his calves to his thighs, and finally reached his waist before Wang Chengzhou stopped.

At this location, you are not far from the river.

Most of those who dare to come here are strong young people.

Occasionally, you can see a few elderly people, but they are obviously veterans who often make a living in the water, and they are probably not bad at water.

Of course, there are also bold people like Wang Chengzhou who are unwilling to give up and want to take a chance.

that is not?
Not far away stood the little girl with picturesque features at the east end of the village.

Noticing his gaze, her smoky eyebrows raised slightly, and she grinned, "Master Chengzhou, are you here too?"

"Shh!"

Wang Chengzhou shrank his head and quickly made a quieter gesture, "I'm not lucky today. I can only watch people fishing outside, and I'm so anxious that I can't help but stare."

"So, I just wanted to take a look inside."

"What about you, did you get nothing too?"

"No."

The little girl pursed her lips and chuckled, turned around and pointed, and also lowered her voice and said:
"Master Chengzhou, I caught several big crucian carp!"

"My grandpa is carrying it all on his back."

"I came here to catch a big carp."

Wang Chengzhou glanced at her in surprise.

I don't know whether he was surprised by her good luck or lamented her little greed.

You’ve caught several large crucian carps, and you’re still not satisfied?

Grandpa, I haven’t even seen a single fish feather!

How could God be so unfair?
As he was cursing, the little girl seemed to see his depression and said shyly:
"Master Chengzhou, it's not what you think."

"I listened to your words and came here to catch the big carp."

"I am useful."

Wang Chengzhou became more and more curious. It could be seen that she was as shy as a quail and could not ask more questions. She nodded and warned:
"Then be careful."

"The water is too deep, don't go further in."

"I'll go back to find your grandpa later."

The little girl nodded obediently, but her big and smart eyes stared unblinkingly at the water in the distance.

Wang Chengzhou felt helpless for a while and shook his head.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted a piece of golden color flashing past in the water.

He was startled.

Hold your breath and watch carefully.Suddenly, he discovered that a large carp covered with golden scales was flipping in the water not far in front of him.

A small whirlpool formed in the turbid water.

Reflecting the sun in the sky, the big carp was shining with golden-red light, which was dazzling.

Koi? !
Wang Chengzhou's eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, and he held his breath.

The koi carp in the river are different from the pigs raised in the park ponds in later generations. They are extremely rare.

Every one is precious.

There are even many magical legends about them.

Some devout fishermen will even release the koi on the spot after catching it to express their gratitude for the good luck it brings.

Of course, Wang Chengzhou didn't believe that.

He finally saw a big fish, and a koi carp with an amazing size. He would catch whatever he wanted!

Carp is a relatively powerful fish among freshwater fish, so for fishermen, catching carp is the highest honor.

And this big golden-red koi, judging from its size alone, is probably over twenty kilograms!
This kind of big fish cannot be caught even with a small fishing net, let alone with bare hands.

However, the condition of this fish is obviously not right.

The whole body followed the current, spinning in place, only occasionally waving its red tail, and the fins flapped slightly, looking weak.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Wang Chengzhou assumed a Xingyiquan posture, gripped the ground with his five toes, stepped on the mud, slowed down, and leaned forward step by step.

Fortunately, the big koi seemed unaware and was still circling dizzy.

Wang Chengzhou took a deep breath, retracted into the water, hugged his hands, and closed them little by little.

boom!
The moment it came into contact with the scales, the big koi suddenly rose up, flicked its tail, and white waves rippled on the water.

The huge impact caused his body to tilt and he almost fell into the river.

The struggle on both arms was probably more intense than catching a goat.

Not far away was the turbulent river. The turbid yellow water surged forward, and the clumps of weeds just rolled over and were swallowed up, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Wang Chengzhou felt a chill go down his spine.

Suddenly I remembered that I can’t swim...

If you make a mistake led by this big fish, you will be in a situation that will never be recovered.

But now, there is absolutely no reason to let go!
Wang Chengzhou gritted his teeth, dropped his shoulders and elbows, slumped his waist and raised his anus, his waist and abdomen bulged, and with a loud shout, a golden-red light and shadow flew into the air.

The blood-red fish tail faced the bright afternoon sun and kept slapping against him, making a crackling sound.

A plump golden carp was held in his arms, with its round mouth open and moving non-stop. Its two gold-rimmed fish eyes were wide and unblinking.

"What's the matter?"

"what is that?"

"Oh my God!"

The noise was so loud that many people turned around when they heard the noise.

But the next second, everyone's eyes widened.

Some people even exclaimed exaggeratedly, pointing at Wang Chengzhou from a distance, their voices trembling:

"Koi! Wang Chengzhou caught the koi!"

"Oh my God, this must weigh dozens of kilograms, right? Mom, it reminded me of the little man holding a big carp on the door painting!"

"Holy crap, it's true! Is this the River God?"

The whole river beach was in a sensation.

Looking at the golden carp held in Wang Chengzhou's arms, with its blood-red tail still flapping in the water, everyone was stunned.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu also noticed what was going on here. They were frightened when they saw their son standing in the turbulent river, holding an exaggeratedly large koi carp.

Only Siya was so excited that she jumped to her feet and rushed over here cheering, "Brother, let me help you!"

This girl, it’s fake to help, but it’s real to follow her to the limelight.

Wang Chengzhou was so exhausted that he was sweating all over after subduing this big koi, but he was indescribably happy in his heart.

I have never seen such a big koi in my previous life, let alone this life.

The thing is, it's so beautiful.

The scales are shiny and shiny, and at the first glance, one can tell that it is not simple.

The most important thing is that the boy Wang Jianguo was standing in the water, staring at the big fish in his arms. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and he was so jealous that he was going crazy.

Wang Chengzhou snorted, raised his chin, and walked to the shore happily.

My heart said: Damn, who is the big winner now?
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw everyone's expressions changed, and there was a cry of exclamation in the river.

What the hell?

Wang Chengzhou's heart trembled.

Could it be that what he caught was really the river god, and that the shrimps, soldiers and crabs would cause trouble for him in the future?

When I turned around, I realized that a torrent was coming. The little girl with picturesque features who was standing on the shore and staring at me happily had lost her balance and was swept in by the turbid river water.

In the blink of an eye, only one head was left above the river.

"elder brother!!"

"Someone was swept away!"

"Oh my God, isn't that the granddaughter of Dongtou Lao Yang?"

The shocking change in front of him made Wang Chengzhou freeze on the spot.

The little girl had spoken to him softly just now, her shy expression still visible in front of her.

Why do you have to... in the blink of an eye?

The little girl was suddenly swept down by the river water. She was extremely panicked for a moment, and she didn't know how to call for help until she floated some distance away.Struggling helplessly, he turned his head and looked towards the river.

The one closest to her was Wang Chengzhou.

"Master Chengzhou!"

The little girl was so frightened that she cried. She only shouted one sentence, and her body sank and was drowned.

Wang Chengzhou stared blankly and stood blankly, his mind in confusion.

Such a cute little girl drowned like this?
Obviously he had promised to take good care of this junior who always called him "Master Chengzhou" with a smile...

The huge misery made him feel like falling into an ice cave, and for a while, he still couldn't accept it.

"Wow!"

Fortunately, the waves rolled and her head floated up from the water again.However, his mouth was already filled with turbid river water, and he only had time to cry before he coughed violently, turned around and screamed: "Master Chengzhou!"

In an instant, the expression on Wang Chengzhou's face disappeared, leaving only calmness and determination.

He waved his hands as hard as he could, threw the big golden carp behind him, held it in his chest, took a deep breath, and rushed towards the river resolutely.

The surging river flooded him in an instant.

But he always raised his hands high and maintained a standing posture, letting the waves rush him towards the floating position of the little girl.

By this time, the Hetao had exploded.

Li Yuzhu ran towards the river crying.

Siya was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly, could not even walk steadily, and rushed into the river desperately.

Fortunately, Wang Caiyun rushed up and grabbed the couple.

Xu Xiaozhi fell into the water in despair.

At the same time, several silent figures rushed towards the river as if they were flying.

Among them, including Wang Honghe, Wang Yutang, Wang Wuhe, Wang Jianchun... they are all men from the older generation in the village.

Everyone rushed to jump into the river.

However, in the end, all I could do was watch the raised hands, being carried by the raging river, steadily lift up Yang Qiaoer and go downstream.
