In order to raise fish, Huangcun built a huge barrage and blocked both ends of a large tributary of the river in the hope that it could be used to raise fish. Of course, the river still flows eastward, but it no longer passes through this stream, but flows all the way down through larger tributaries.
Since both ends of the tributary were blocked, the leaders of the deserted village bought some fish fry in Lu Town. There are quite a variety of species, such as grass carp, carp, and others I don’t know. I’m sorry that I don’t know much, so I can’t list them all. . In order to build this barrage, the leaders of the deserted village took great pains, and even organized countless civilians to carry huge stones down from the mountains on their shoulders and hands, in order to block the small river.
Some peasants, for fear of missing the farming season, were initially reluctant to go to the mountains to fetch stones for their leaders. However, the leaders were free to do whatever they wanted and hit those with less strength. The beaten peasants couldn't bear the pain, and they were no longer afraid of delaying their farming time. They climbed up the mountain one after another, bent down, and carried huge stones on their backs to the small river. Due to his weak strength and the slippery mountain road, it was not easy to transport this large boulder. If he were not careful, he would fall down the mountain and end up in pieces.
Needless to say, what will happen if you fail to complete the task of transporting stones in this way? The lighter ones will be fined, and the severe ones will be beaten until their skin and flesh are bruised and dripping with blood. For this reason, no one dares to be lazy, assign their own tasks, and always complete them in advance.
The project was finally completed, and the leaders of the deserted village stocked many fish fry in the completed fish pond, hoping for a good harvest when autumn came. However, for some reason, in autumn, the heavy rains continued, and the river suddenly swelled, and all the stocked fish fled away.
On the day when the water rose, a peasant woman's duck crossed the barrage from the lower reaches and swam upstream. In this flood of water, the little duck looked so weak. If he didn't rescue him, he would be submerged in the flood in the blink of an eye.
This made the peasant woman very distressed. Even if she died, it would not be as serious as the duck being swallowed by the flood. At that time, facing these dozen ducks, standing by the newly built fish pond, I couldn't help crying to the sky, but in the heavy rain, who could sympathize with me?
The floodwater crossed the barrage and rushed downstream with an unstoppable force. Wherever it passed, it stirred up countless water splashes, which made it look quite dazzling when reflected in the sky. This rumbling sound made the people in the deserted village afraid, worried that they had done something bad. Otherwise, why would the river make such a huge and unbearable noise?
Especially at night, the sound was like the roar of a dragon, causing people in deserted villages to wake up from their dreams in the middle of the night, worried that the sky was falling or something bad had happened.
The peasant woman's duck swam across the barrage and was about to be submerged in the torrent, never to return. Therefore, the sad peasant woman was in a very bad mood. She sat alone on the shore and cried in the direction of the duck. However, even if the peasant woman was beaten to death, she couldn't just go back. Her family's livelihood depended on these ducks. How could she be willing to be suddenly swept away by the flood at this time?
So the peasant woman returned home, got some paper money, and squatted by the barrage at night, burning the paper and muttering something, praying that her duck would come back to her. Sure enough, perhaps because his prayers had come to fruition, these dozen ducks really came back quacking, and they all came close to him, biting his clothes.
The peasant woman went back, but the raging flood was still flowing fiercely, sweeping away other people's houses wherever it passed, and also took away the fish in the fish pond, leaving not a single fish left. Not only that, the barrage also caused the soil on both sides to collapse due to the heavy rain, and rushed towards the river like a mudslide. And half of the farmland on this bank has been lost for no reason. There is no water for livestock, let alone farming.
However, for a peasant woman, since it is not her own farmland, of course she doesn't care about it. Her ducks are already fine and she doesn't care about other things. The peasant woman returned to her house with a smile. After eating, she looked at the majestic movement of the river heading east, with a faint smile on her face.
One day, a peasant woman was standing under an old tree. Her name was Tian'e. She was looking at a cloud in the sky with a faint smile on her face. Tian'e was a famous beauty in the deserted village. She walked out of her house just to get some food for her pigs. Her tall stature and pretty fair face made many men in the deserted village yearn for her, and many of them were willing to sacrifice their wealth and lives just to have a sweet kiss with her.
However, Tian'e already has a family, and her man is driving a big boat on the river at the moment. His name is Shehe. In this deserted village, her man can be said to be one of the best in terms of appearance and ability. Therefore, Tian'e doesn't pay much attention to the ordinary suitors in the deserted village.
No, at this time, although this man looked quite short and had a lot of pockmarks on his face, he was greedy for Tian'e's beauty. At this time, he walked in front of her desperately and was speechless without regard to shame. Find something to talk about. Not only that, she also held flowers in her hands and took advantage of Shehe's absence to go to Tian'e's house. She stayed in front of her house and refused to leave, saying that she must eat the food she cooked herself no matter what. If so, he said he would die in front of his house.
Tian'e was a kind-hearted person and did not want to see others live or die. At this time, she agreed and let the short suitor enter her house. After the pockmarked person entered the house, he couldn't help but look at Tian'e's face with his eyes. The face was really, really pretty, otherwise, the pockmarked person would definitely not like her.
Mazi gave the flowers to Sister Tian'e, and Sister Tian'e couldn't refuse. She was afraid that Mazi would plot against her husband, and without her husband, Sister Tian'e didn't want to live anymore. After Mazi sent flowers and ate Sister Tian'e's meal, she saw that it was still early and that Shewahe was still busy on the river and might not be back for a while. So he lay down on a bench in the room and stayed there, saying that he had eaten too much and couldn't walk.
Sister Tian'e was helpless for a moment, blaming herself for her beauty, otherwise, how could she have provoked this bad guy. But now that the matter has come to this, there is no other way but to let him lie in his room.
"Sister Tian'e, why are you so beautiful? I want... to touch your hand..." Mazi said while lying on the bench looking at Sister Tian'e.
"No, tell my family to cross the river. It would be weird if I don't break your dog's legs!" Sister Tian'e replied.
So, Sister Tian'e drove the pockmarked person out of the house and slammed the door.
