pastoral fragrance

Chapter 67
Ever since Uncle Xu broke his leg, Qiulin's family has been busy making ends meet, and they can't do anything in the village. Similarly, when there are banquets and happy events in the village, few people call her home. up.Over time, Xu Erbo's family is almost disconnected from Luoshui Village, and they almost become no longer from the village.Only one family lives alone.Only her family and Xu Erbo's family are neighbors, so they are closer.

Which of the children doesn't like the excitement, but Qiulin seems to be isolated from Luoshui Village.So much so that the sisters in the village couldn't recognize them.From now on, Qiuyue Qiulin will bring them together to wash clothes, so as to enhance their relationship with other girls in the village!
Qiulin didn't know that sister Heyi was thinking of her and the eldest sister in this way, but she was only thinking about how many fish should have gotten into the fish basket.After she walked over, she picked up a plum tree on the bank and looked into the fish basket.The water was very clear, and at a glance, there were black holes in the fish basket.Qiulin hurried over to untie the rope, wrapped the rope around his hands, and then went to pull the fish basket.

I don't know if it's water or fish and shrimp in the fish basket. It's really hard to pull the rope.After a while, the fish basket came out of the water, and Qiulin quickly squatted down to pick it up.

I took it over and took a look, I was shocked, I didn't expect this fish basket to be really useful.He caught several crucian carps, some loach, shrimps, crabs, etc., and looked carefully, there was actually a soft-shelled turtle inside, but it was relatively small, otherwise it wouldn't be able to get into the fish basket.

Qiulin happily carried the fish basket, and went to the laundry place again.

"Qiu Lin, are you a fish basket? Why do you look so weird?" The sharp-eyed He Xiang looked at the bamboo basket in Qiu Lin's hand, her eyes flickering.

When He Xiang said this, the other girls also looked at Qiu Lin.Qiulin didn't avoid anything, and walked over generously, "Isn't it."

He Xiang was stunned, and then asked: "Why is this fish basket made into such a shape?"

"Yeah, it's so strange. The fish baskets at home are all open." Another 12-year-old girl continued. She is He Xiang's younger sister, Mei Xiang. Qi Liuhai, now pouted, showing a dazed expression.She looks like a lolita!
Qiulin explained kindly: "Make the fish basket closed so that fish don't have to go out after they come in. Anyway, there are a lot of small fish and shrimp in this river, but big fish are rare." of."

It was the first time for the girls to see such a fish basket, and they all found it extremely novel.But this fish basket is still very practical, is this fish basket really as good as Qiulin said?Later, they also asked their father to weave them for them, and then put the fish baskets in a quieter upstream, where they washed their clothes, so they could fish and wash their clothes!
Qiulin thought about getting these small fish and shrimp home first, and then basket them again.When the brothers and sisters come back at night, there will be delicious fish and shrimp to eat.

Xu Nanshan really didn't expect that this fish basket would be much more useful than the ones he made before, so much work has been done in a while.Then he will still make the fish basket like this in the future, and there will definitely be more fish in the future!

Qiulin poured fish, shrimp, loach, etc. into the porcelain basin, and watched the crab's large pincers firmly grasp the fish basket, and never came out.Qiulin had no choice but to find a pair of tongs to pinch it out.This thing is not comparable to fish and shrimp, but it will crawl out of the basin.Qiulin simply kept on doing nothing, broke it with the tongs, and unloaded the calves, and then put it in the porcelain basin with peace of mind, took the fish basket and went to the river again.

This time, those who did the laundry also finished washing, and went home one after another.When I met Qiulin, I was not as restrained as before. I greeted her cheerfully and smiled very amiably.

Qiulin suddenly thought that since he traveled here, he has been haunted by the word poor.So all she eats and sleeps thinking about is how to get rid of this poor word.She has seriously neglected the aspect of interpersonal communication.Her family is different from ordinary peasant households in that they have no fields to grow, so the direction of the busy day and night is also different.Since then, there has been no intersection.She didn't realize it before, but this time she saw these girls washing clothes, she didn't know them, they were from the same village after all, isn't this a serious disconnect?

If things go on like this for a long time, what's the deal?Qiu Lin felt terrible when he thought about it. It seems that in the future, he will try his best to follow the beat of these girls in the village. He is too independent and will only put himself in a difficult situation.

While pondering, Qiulin went to the river. At this moment, all the clothes washers had left, and the river looked extremely clean.She didn't have to pick a quieter place either.On the big stone slab where the girls washed their clothes just now, put down the fish basket, and tie the rope to the weeds beside it as usual.This weed has tenacity, and its roots are relatively deep, so it is not easy to fall off.After finishing this series of actions, Qiulin sat down on a clean stone slowly.Now it's time to fish.

The left and right are also idle, so it's better to find something to kill. Seeing some sweet potato vines mixed with the grass by the river bank, Qiu Lin hurried over to pick the sweet potato vines.After grilling for a while, I didn't see any ripe sweet potatoes.Only then did I think of a saying 'June [-]th, sweet potatoes are ripe'. It's not yet June, and the sweet potatoes are naturally not ready yet.Even if it turns red and turns red, the taste is not good.

So I threw it away and didn't pick it up.

Qiulin threw away the sweet potato vines and went to tinker with snakeberries again.When I was young, the villagers always said that the snakeberry was the snake's favorite food. Every morning, the milky white foam left on the snakeberry was the snake's saliva.It is said that this thing is poisonous.When she grew up, she realized that this was a lie.And this snakeberry is also a kind of medicine, which has good medicinal value.

This small head, bright red fruit, although the taste is not as sweet as mulberries and raisins, but it is not unpalatable.After biting it open, you can see the snow-white flesh inside. The red and white contrast is really beautiful!
"Sister Qiulin, what are you doing?" Qiulin was fascinated by the small bunch of fruits when he suddenly heard a warm voice.

There was no one here when she came, and the sudden sound really shocked her.Looking up, it turned out to be Shen Qing who hadn't seen him for several days.

Qiu Lin stood up joyfully, "Brother Shen Qing, why are you here?" Qiu Lin rarely saw Shen Qing haunting this river, and thought it was extremely novel.

Shen Qing walked up to Qiu Lin with his hem up, looked around carefully, and looked at the girl's appearance, she seemed to be all right. "I can go out and walk around. It seems that the injury has healed."

Seeing that Shen Qingji was concerned about her injury, Qiulin felt warm in his heart, "It's just a flesh injury, and it didn't hurt the muscles and bones. Wouldn't it heal in a few days? Hehe. Brother Shen Qing, I'll give you snakeberries, but This thing is not as tasty as mulberries."

Shen Qing smiled awkwardly, why did this girl give him food whenever she met him, as if he was a foodie.Shen Qing smiled helplessly, but also took these bright red fruits from Qiu Lin's hands.Throwing one into the mouth, the taste is indeed not as good as that of mulberries, but there is still a lot of water.He didn't dare to pick wild fruits like this before and throw them into his mouth, but now he feels fresh even after eating this humble snakeberry.

"I just watched you from a distance looking over things on your stomach, but what did you drop?"

oh!Suddenly, Qiulin pointed to the green sweet potato vine and said, "Don't look at this thing that looks like a centipede. The fruit it bears is delicious! But it's smaller, otherwise it's no worse than mulberries. !"

Shen Qing took a closer look, but only looked at the green leaves, where did he see the fruit that Qiu Lin mentioned?

"This sweet potato grows in the ground, so you can't see it on the surface. Hey, it's a pity that the sweet potato is not yet ripe, and it will take some time before you can eat it." Qiulin didn't eat what he wanted, and his face was lacking in interest. .

It turned out that this was the case, only then did Shen Qing understand.Seeing the disappointment on Qiulin's face, a flash of unbearable feeling flashed in his heart.So he comforted: "It's only a matter of a few days or ten days, just wait a little longer."

"Ah!" Qiu Lin was so busy talking to Shen Qing at this moment, but forgot that the fish basket was still in the river!She quickly squatted down to untie the rope, and then wrapped the back of her hand to pull the fish basket out of the river.

Shen Qing didn't know what Qiu Lin was doing, but seeing that Qiu Lin was small and struggling to pull the rope, he followed the rope in a daze.With the joint efforts of the two, a bamboo woven object popped out of the water.

Qiulin hurriedly pulled the fish basket to the shore, and then looked carefully at it, only to see a big carp writhing in it, weighing about two catties.The other small fish were so crushed by it that they didn't even have room to swing, and each of them opened their mouths to drink water.

Qiulin was delighted to see it, "No wonder it takes so much effort to pull it. My feeling is that there is a big thing hidden in it!"

Only then did Shen Qing realize that Qiu Lin was trying to steal fish. "I didn't expect this fish basket to be so powerful and pick up so many fish."

Qiulin laughed, of course.The fish got into the fish basket, how could it escape.And fish and shrimp like to gather in groups, so naturally there will be more fish.

Qiulin found the kind of thin, long and tough weeds to string up the fish, and planned to empty the fish basket and start again. Anyway, it was still early and he had nothing to do.

Shen Qing accompanied her, watching her skillfully put the fish basket into the river, and then tied the rope to the weeds.

"Brother Shen Qing, let's go over there to play. This fish is very sensitive. When it hears something, it will scurry around. It has a strong sense of danger." Qiu Lin pulled Shen Qing along the river, only to return these fish. With cleanliness, they will not feel the existence of danger, and will voluntarily go into the fish basket.
