"Okay, sister."
Several boys immediately rolled up their sleeves, touched a stone from the side, and smashed it with their eyes.
Turn the stone over, and a stream of murky water emerges. When washed by the water, the turbidity disappears, and you can clearly see underwater.
Looking with both eyes, there was nothing.
The young man was not discouraged and kept working hard. Several young men on the side also got busy, and the sound of "bang, bang, bang" came from the small river from time to time.
The sounds that came from time to time were a bit noisy, and the sounds reached Zheng Xiong's ears, attracting Zheng Xiong's eyes and looking at them intently.
On the downstream river, several people were holding stones and hitting them on the rocks in the water. Occasionally, there were a few happy shouts.
Zheng Xiong looked at the bodyguards around him and asked.
"What are they doing? None of you know."
The clerk was awakened by Zheng Xiong's words. He broke out of his fugue state and looked at Min Fu. Seeing the clerk's eyes, Min Fu understood instantly and replied to Zheng Xiong.
"Maybe he's catching fish!"
"Oh, this is quite interesting. I used to play there often when I was a kid. Now that I'm old, I feel nostalgic about it."
Zheng Xiong stood up slowly and came to the river wearing a pair of big pants. The bodyguard beside him picked up Zheng Xiong's clothes and dressed Zheng Xiong.
It's a bit rough for men to do things, but it's better than dressing yourself. At least you don't have to do it yourself.
Zheng Xiong, who had put on his clothes, slowly walked to the lower reaches of the river. The woman on the bank watched several people approaching.
Zheng Xiong has an ordinary appearance and slightly rich clothes. He should be a young man from some family who comes out to play. The first impression emerges in the woman's mind.
The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old. Zheng Xiong took one look at her and turned away.
Not good-looking, quite ugly, but her facial features are okay, her body development is okay, and all the areas that should be developed are okay.
There seemed to be a lot of dead skin on his face, and his face was sallow.
The clothes were even more terrible. At first glance, they were made of ordinary broken pieces forcibly sewn together. It could be seen that the family background was not good.
Several young men saw Zheng Xiong and several strong men coming downstream and came closer.
He quickly put down the stone in his hand, stopped his movements, came to his sister, and looked at Zheng Xiong and his group, glaring angrily.
The young men looked like little adults. Their young faces showed that they were not very old. The older ones were in their teens and the younger ones were in their teens.
Zheng Xiong didn't care when he faced the looks of several people. These strong bodyguards were his greatest confidence. What did he have to fear from these little brats?
"You go on, don't worry about me, I'm just here to see how you fish, and to reminisce about your lost youth."
The boys ignored Zheng Xiong and looked at their sister.
"This young master is right. There is nothing interesting to see in our countryside. This fishing is completely stupid and makes the young master laugh."
"As long as it works, Zi once said, it doesn't matter whether it's a white cat or a black cat, the one that can catch mice is a good cat. It doesn't matter if it's not effective, the most important thing is to be happy."
Seeing that Zheng Xiong just wanted to have fun together, the woman had no choice but to speak in a low voice.
"Then just watch this young master. Don't go into the water. It's easy to accidentally get hurt by splashing stones. It will be bad if you hurt the young master."
"There's no fun if you don't get into the water. If you get hurt, you don't have to pay compensation. Just leave me alone."
After saying that, without waiting for the woman to speak, he got into the water and looked back at the few strong men and small officials behind him.
"What are you doing in a daze? I'm just having fun. It's up to you to throw rocks. I'll be responsible for picking up fish. What are you thinking about?"
A few people were a little embarrassed. The people on the side were still watching. Those who didn't know better thought that you were really a playboy. You just wanted to pick up what was available. You were too lazy, but you still had to work hard, so they hurriedly got into the water.
Several young men rolled their eyes unconsciously when they heard Zheng Xiong's words.
When the woman saw this, she whispered to a few young men.
"Stay away and don't accidentally hurt each other. We can't afford to offend him. It seems like there's no ill intention now. Just don't offend him."
"knew."
After the woman replied, the boys immediately went into the water and continued to hit the fish with stones, but they were a little far away from Zheng Xiong.
Zheng Xiong didn't take it seriously. Without status, he could only be cautious and survive hard. Unlike himself, after passing the stage of survival, what he needed was the pursuit of spiritual civilization.
The strength of these strong men was incredible. Within a few moments, one of them shouted to Zheng Xiong.
"grown ups."
Hearing the strong man's call, Zheng Xiong looked at the strong man fiercely.
Seeing Zheng Xiong's vicious gaze, the strong man's heart tightened and he was at a loss.
The little official on the side was very discerning and said to the strong man.
"Chu Yier, do you have any fish to offer to the young master?"
A strong man is so blessed that his soul nods in agreement.
"Yes, yes, sir, there are fish here."
"Oh, wait, come right over."
Zheng Xiong walked up to Chu Yier. The muddy water had been washed away by the current, and small fish that had turned white in a day were floating in the current.
Zheng Xiong picked up the small fish, walked to the shore, and said to the woman.
"Girl, do you have something to hold fish in? Can you lend me one?"
The woman was a little confused about what she had just shouted, but the adult heard it and didn't say anything.
"Yes, if this young man doesn't mind, I, the fish basket young master, can use one to hold the fish."
"I don't mind, thank you very much."
Zheng Xiong picked up the fish basket and returned to the water to fight.
The clerk calmly walked up to the strong men and warned them one by one.
"Ti Ling has a good reputation. Don't call him Sir, call him Young Master, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"yes."
There is no doubt that the strength of these strong men is far beyond that of a few young boys. They managed to catch more than a dozen small fish without much effort.
Several young men looked envious and looked at their harvest during this period. There was no comparison among the few small fish.
Zheng Xiong enjoyed the fun of collecting fish. Time passed quickly. The sun turned west and it was getting late.
Zheng Xiong stopped a few people. This physical work was still a bit tiring. Although the strong men were not exhausted, they were really tired.
After counting the harvest, I found a fish basket full, weighing several kilograms.
Several young men also combined their harvests and took back the fish baskets from upstream. The harvest was not as good as that of Zheng Xiong and his party, which was about one or two kilograms.
It can't be compared with Zheng Xiong, but one or two kilograms of small fish is enough to feed several people, which satisfies the craving.
After packing his luggage, Zheng Xiong handed the fish basket in his hand to the woman.
The woman looked at the fish basket in her hand in a daze.
"Master, what do you mean?"
"I can't take it with me. Besides, it's just for fun. It doesn't matter if it's a fish or not. Just take it."
"Young master, you don't have to do it. You won't receive any reward for your merits. This fish basket was just made up by me. It's worthless. You can just take it."
After the woman finished speaking, she handed the fish basket in her hand to Zheng Xiong.
