Farmer's counterattack is busy with farming

Chapter 90 Falling into a Hole

The next morning, Ning Xianxian and Ning Caicai carried buckets and went to the river to fetch water.

Unexpectedly, the weather was cold and the river was frozen.

The chilly spring wind made the faces of the two sisters flush.

Ning Caicai rubbed her hands, looked at the whole frozen river, and felt a little troubled: "My sister, I can't get water anymore, why don't we go to someone's well to get some water?"

Ning Xianxian looked around and said: "It will take more time to find someone to fetch water from here. It's better to dig a hole ourselves."

"Dug a hole?" Ning Caicai opened his eyes wide, "Is this possible? Aunt told us not to play in the water."

"This is not playing with water."

Ning Xianxian found a long branch, squatted down by the river, and carefully tested the thickness of the ice layer.

Ning Caicai stood behind her worriedly.

"It's not too thick. We should be able to break it open with stones." Ning Xianxian stood up and looked around for stones by the river.

After hearing this, Ning Caicai immediately helped to find it, and soon picked up two fist-sized rocks, excitedly said: "Amei, will this work?"

Ning Xianxian looked back at her and saw that she was holding a stone, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she looked very happy, so she said with a smile: "Just now I said in a serious way that you are not allowed to play in the water. It seems that sister is still a child after all."

"I'm not a child." Ning Caicai pursed her lips and smiled.

"Whether it's true or not, your stone is too small anyway." Ning Xianxian turned around, holding a head-sized stone with both hands, and said in a hey voice, "Mine is not too bad."

Ning Caicai: "..."

After the loud bang.

A hole appeared in the river.

Ning Caicai carried the bucket and tried it: "It's too small, the bucket can't be put down."

"It's enough to hit a little bigger along the side." Ning Xianxian took the stone and carefully enlarged the hole.

Soon, a big hole appeared in front of them.

Ning Xianxian took a closer look, was carrying the bucket and was about to fetch water, when he suddenly saw a fish swimming underneath.

"Sister, there are fish!" She turned around and called Ning Caicai.

"Really?" Ning Caicai looked out in surprise, and then exclaimed in surprise, "There are really fish. How could there be fish in such a cold day?"

"The fish swim under the water, shouldn't it be cold?"

When Ning Xianxian was in the Xiangguo Mansion, he had never learned anything about it.But she remembered hearing Ning Deyuan say that when it freezes in winter, the fish below will hold their breath, and once a hole is made in the ice, the fish at the bottom will gather.

It seems to be true.

Ning De has traveled far and wide, so he knows a lot.

Ning Xianxian said joyfully: "Sister, let's get some fish back, can't we make soup and eat it?"

Since the last time Ning Deyuan finished eating the meat, they hadn't smelled fishy meat.

Although Ning Caicai was happy to hear it, she didn't take her words seriously, she just smiled and said, "It's just that we don't have a net."

"There is no net, we can fish." Ning Xianxian found a branch and asked her, "Sister, do you have a line?"

Ning Caicai has completely inherited Liu Chunhua's character, and always carries a little needle and thread with her when she goes out. Hearing this, she took out a roll of cotton thread from her small pocket, "I brought some, but not much. I'm afraid I can't fish with this one?"

"We don't expect to use it many times, as long as we can survive this time."

Ning Xianxian took the line, tied it to a branch, and looked around for bait.

In this weather, even the ground is frozen hard, and it is not easy to think of a bug.

"A-mei, can I use this?" Ning Caicai took out half of a flower roll, "I kept it yesterday, I was afraid you would be hungry, so I took it with me."

Ning Xianxian reached out and broke off a small piece, tied it to the other end of the cotton thread, and said with a smile, "I don't know if it will work, let's try first."

The two sisters squatted by the river, holding up the twigs, staring at the ice hole on the river without blinking.

In the end, there was no movement after waiting for a long time. Ning Caicai was afraid that she would be tired, so she said, "Amei, are your shoulders sore, let me lift it?"

"Shh-"

Ning Xianxian was shocked suddenly, and hurriedly silenced Ning Caicai, staring at the cotton thread intently.

The cotton thread was indeed wobbling.

Ning Xianxian licked his lips, grasped the branch with both hands, and lifted it vigorously——

A fish was lifted up, flashed a silver light in the sun, and fell to the river bank.

Running around.

Ning Xianxian threw the branch and jumped on it, hugging the fish.

Ning Caicai hurriedly followed with a bucket, and shouted nervously, "Amei, did you catch it? Come on, there's a bucket here!"

Ning Xianxian hugged the fish and quickly threw it into the bucket.

Two heads leaned over to take a look, wow, what a big crucian carp.

"A-mei, this is enough for us to eat." Ning Caicai hugged the bucket happily, "There are still some flower rolls, why don't you try fishing for a while?"

"That's fine." Ning Xianxian followed the same pattern, made branches and cotton thread, hung them in the hole, and concentrated on fishing.

Ning Caicai also stared at the ice with wide eyes.

Neither of them noticed that there was a figure approaching quietly behind them.

At this time, Ning Xianxian felt that there seemed to be a fish biting the bait, and when he was about to lift the branch, he felt a strong attack from behind, and he fell into the river uncontrollably.

Pfft!
She fell straight into the hole.

"Sister--"

Ning Caicai screamed and threw herself into the river without hesitation, trying to grab her.

Ning Xianxian's entire figure disappeared into the hole, but because Ning Caicai was one step late, she blocked her and slid onto the ice.

"My sister!!" She screamed like crazy, turned her head and crawled towards the hole, "My sister! My sister! Come here, help me, save my sister..."

At this time, two women came to wash clothes together. When they heard the cry for help, they put down the basin and ran over.Seeing Ning Caicai lying at the entrance of the cave, she couldn't help being surprised.

"Auntie, come and save my younger sister, hurry up, hurry up...she fell in, inside..."

Ning Caicai screamed and cried, tears and snot all over her face.

When the two women heard this, they also knew that human life was at stake, so they hurried over with the branches, one by the hand of the other, and stretched the branches in.

At this time, Ning Xianxian was almost stiff.

She couldn't see or hear anything.

The two hands were unconsciously scratching and pulling, and suddenly touched a branch, and subconsciously grabbed it tightly.

……

Two women managed to pull her up.

She was lying on the ground, her whole body was wet, her skin and lips were purple, and she must not be moving.

"Sister..."

Ning Caicai rushed forward, took off her padded jacket, wrapped her in her arms, and cried and begged the two women, "Please, Auntie, help me send Amei to the doctor...I beg Please..."

The two women hurriedly said: "The doctor's house is far away from here. I'll help you take her home. You run quickly and call the doctor to your house."

"Thank you, auntie, I'll go right away!"

Ning Caicai stood up and ran to Lang Zhong's house, dragged Lang Zhong back home, only to find that her sister was not at home.

Her face turned pale all of a sudden.

Those two aunts must not have known about their move and sent them to Ning's old house!
