When Hui Neng saw Li Zhiwen and Shui Lian riding on the backs of oxen and playing flutes, he remembered that the baskets on their backs were still empty, so he and Xiaolan hurried to the mountain col to look for raw herbs.
On the way back from herding, two big buffaloes ran into the river at the foot of the mountain. Chen Zhiwen and Ergou Fu went to the river to drive cattle.
The cow was lying in the algae, with only its head and a pair of round basin-like horns exposed, panting.
The two of them held the tail of the cow and swam on the water, or rode on the back of the cow and drove against the river to the beach. The bull that Li Zhiwen was responsible for guarding climbed onto the back of the cow that Shui Lian had released as soon as it landed on the shore.
When Ergou saw it, he said to Shui Lian, "Sister Alian, Brother Awen is climbing on your back!"
Shui Lian's face instantly turned as red as petals, and she hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands, embarrassed to look at her cow.
Ergou immediately realized that he had made a mistake and changed his words in embarrassment: "No, no... I said cow."
"You damn paparazzi!" Shui Lian showed half of her face, glared at him fiercely, and cursed angrily.
"Alien sister, you blush like a bride, you're so pretty!" Li Zhiwen said with a playful smile.
"Shi Zhiwen, what are you talking about? I'm annoying you!" Shui Lian bent down and grabbed a handful of river sand, intending to throw it at Li Zhiwen.
After Li Zhiwen discovered it, he ran forward with all his strength. The bunch of keys on his back were clapping against each other, making a "ding-dong" sound.
The cow didn't appreciate it, so she soon pushed the bull off the ground, ran forward a few steps, raised its tail, and released a pool of cow dung.
…
At this time, Ergou suddenly saw three men downstream of the river beach. One of them was holding a few pieces of explosives in his hand, and the other two were holding fishing nets, squatting at the bend of the river beach downstream. Ergou saw this and shouted: "Someone is coming to fry fish over there!"
Li Zhiwen hurriedly walked ashore and said, "Alian sister, you look after the cows, while Brother Aneng, Ergou and I go to pick up fish."
As soon as Li Zhiwen finished speaking, he realized that Huineng and Xiaolan were missing, so he asked Shuilian and Ergou, "Where are Huineng and Xiaolan?"
Ergou turned around, pointed at the mountain col not far away, and said, "I just saw them turning there."
"What are they doing there?" Li Zhiwen asked suspiciously.
"What else can we do? It must be digging grass!" Shui Lian said firmly.
"Then you should go with us?" Li Zhiwen said as if he didn't believe it. "I see you are quite suspicious. How about we go back and take a look? It's time to go back together." When Shui Lian said this, she also became concerned about Huineng and Xiaolan.
Just as Li Zhiwen and Shui Lan turned around, they saw Hui Neng and Xiao Lan appearing at the bend of the mountain over there. So Shui Lian called out loudly: "Brother Aneng, Sister Alan, come and take a look. There are some people here who want bombs to fry fish!"
Xiaolan followed the direction Shui Lian pointed and saw three people wearing underpants, preparing to light bombs on the shoal...
Then, I saw Li Zhiwen and Ergou eagerly taking two steps towards the deep water, wanting to be ready to dive into the water first.
At this time, Huineng's cry came: "Awen, Ergou, are you desperate? I will blow you up later!"
Li Zhiwen took a few steps back in fear, and then heard a loud "bang" sound, and water splashed several meters high in the river on the spot.
Before the water splash fell, Li Zhiwen and Ergou rushed into the deep water of the river bend like arrows to pick up fish.
Huineng was about to rush over, but Xiaolan stopped him and said loudly: "Brother Aneng, you can't go! Recently, I heard from people in the village that water ghosts appeared in the nearby Houliang River to eat people."
Huineng stopped, looked at Li Xiaolan in surprise, and said, "Sister Alan, how could there be a water ghost eating people?"
Li Xiaolan said seriously: "We have posted notices at docks, streets, intersections, etc., recruiting brave men to catch the water ghosts.
"Is this really happening?! Why am I so slanderous?" Huineng looked at Li Xiaolan's serious look and believed it. But he just didn't know, so he stayed there and asked and answered his own questions.
Li Xiaolan looked at Huineng's cute look in a daze, and couldn't help but secretly smile and said, "You are recovering at home during this period, and you don't leave the house. How can you hear it?"
Huineng thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's true." Suddenly, Huineng's face changed as if he remembered something, and he said urgently, "Mei Alan, I have to go and get the people in the river ashore quickly. !”
"Brother Aneng, you have to be young..." Huineng strode towards the river bend before waiting for Li Xiaolan to finish.
…
Li Xiaolan remembers that one time, she followed Li Zhiwen and Huineng into the river and caught a lot of fish and shrimps. In addition to fish and shrimps, they also caught eels, loaches and crabs.
The eels and loaches fell into the bamboo sieve, as slippery as snakes, and fled desperately to the ground, trying to get into the grass.
Crabs also like to crawl around, sometimes stretching out two large pincers and showing off their teeth and claws.
Li Xiaolan was too timid to catch eels and crabs. When she saw them trying to escape, she shouted loudly: "Brother Aneng, catch them quickly! Catch them quickly!"
Since Hui Neng rescued Li Xiaolan, he always liked to provoke Li Xiaolan when they played together.
Sometimes we go to herd cattle together. After driving the cattle down the river, we use a fishing tool (a tool for fishing for fish and shrimp) to fish for fish and shrimp in the aquatic plants at the river bend.
Usually Li Zhiwen and Hui Neng go down to the river to fish out the water, drag it ashore and dump it into a bamboo sieve. Li Zhiwen, Shui Lian and Li Xiaolan are responsible for catching the fish and shrimp into the basket.
Li Xiaolan likes to play with him.
Seeing that she was afraid, Huineng caught an eel and shook it in front of her eyes while she was concentrating on catching fish and shrimps and said: "Snake, snake..."
Li Xiaolan was so frightened that she screamed "quack".
Afterwards, Li Xiaolan unexpectedly caught a small crucian carp and stuffed it into his vest.
The fish jumped alive on Huineng's chest. He grabbed a crab and said, "How dare you mess with me! I'll put it into your collar and bite you!"
Li Xiaolan was so frightened that she ran onto the lawn, while Hui Neng chased after her.
Seeing to catch up.
Li Xiaolan took advantage of the situation and squatted down in the grass, shrank her neck, and called out delicately: "Brother Aneng, please spare me."
Huineng held the crab in front of Li Xiaolan's eyes and shook it and said, "No, surrender to me!"
Li Xiaolan had no choice but to raise her hands obediently.
Li Zhiwen and Shui Lian were so happy when they saw the two playing around, they both grinned.
Huineng was laughing triumphantly when he suddenly saw a dog carrying a dung basket on his shoulder at the lower reaches of the river beach, and Ding Yiguang was walking towards here holding a fishing net in his hand.
Hui Neng, Li Zhiwen, Shui Lian, and Li Xiaolan sometimes play with the paparazzi and Ding Yiguang. Whenever they are happy, they like to call the paparazzi "idiot" and Ding Yiguang "Da Zhiguang".
When Li Zhiwen saw the paparazzi coming this way, he and Huineng swam into the river to drive the cattle.
They rode on the backs of oxen and drove against the river to the beach.
The bull that Li Zhiwen was responsible for guarding climbed on the back of the cow that Li Xiaolan let go as soon as it landed on the shore. The paparazzi saw it and said to Li Xiaolan: "Sister Lan, Brother Neng is climbing on your back!"
Li Xiaolan's face instantly turned as red as petals, and she hurriedly covered her eyes with a bamboo sieve, embarrassed to look at her cow.
The paparazzi immediately realized that he had slipped his words, and he changed his words in embarrassment: "No, no... I meant cows."
"You stupid paparazzi!" Li Xiaolan showed half of her face, glared at him fiercely, and cursed angrily.
"Sister Lan, you blush like a bride, you're so pretty!" Ding Yiguang said with a playful smile.
"Da Zhiguang, what are you talking about? I'm annoying you!" Li Xiaolan bent down and grabbed a handful of river sand, trying to throw it at Da Zhiguang.
Ding Yiguang ran forward as hard as he could.
At this time, Ding Yiguang suddenly saw several people downstream. One of them was holding a few pieces of explosives in his hand, and the other two were holding fishing nets, squatting at the bend downstream of the river beach.
Ding Yiguang saw this and shouted: "Someone is coming to fry fish over there!"
Hui Neng and Li Zhiwen hurriedly dragged Lao Gang ashore and said, "Mei A Lan, sister A Ying, look at the cows while we pick up the fish." After saying this, they ran towards the river bend like arrows.
