Looking down from the top of the mountain, the reservoir is quite large. Even at night, without sunlight, it is difficult to tell where it is. There is a national highway next to the reservoir, and there are some cars parked sparsely on the side of the national highway.
There are also some faint lights on the water's edge, either spotlights or the screen light of a mobile phone. It's obviously wild fishing here.
When Yu Peng walked down, two young men just finished walking back. They looked at Yu Peng, who was dressed in simple clothes, and cast a surprised look, but they didn't say much. They just thought they were here to find someone and left straight away. .
If someone comes here without fishing gear at night, can he still jump into the river?
However, the two people who left did not expect that when their figures disappeared and no one was paying attention around them, Yu Peng would actually jump into the river.
With the water-avoiding talisman on his body, Yu Peng could swim in the water without any hindrance. With the invisibility talisman, not even the fish in the water, not to mention the people fishing by the water, were aware of Yu Peng.
Yu Peng didn't go very far before he stopped.
It's only a dozen meters away from the shore, but it's still some distance away from the deep water area.
Yu Peng was floating in the water. Not far from him, there was a green crucian carp. It was swaying its tail on the bottom of the water. It occasionally spit out a small bubble and flapped its fins happily.
In front of the small crucian carp, there is a fishhook with bait hanging on it, and a group of river fish of different sizes swimming next to it. From time to time, they will go over and take a bite of the bait, then turn around and run away.
"Yes, yes, that's it. Just take one bite and run away. Don't be greedy. You all should learn to order this little grass carp. Watch how smoothly it moves."
"You, that little crucian carp, come on, it's been a long time, they have all eaten it, but you are the stupidest and coward, go ahead and eat it, you won't eat the free dessert, what are you thinking?"
"That crucian carp girl, don't eat it. The old man's dough has not tasted good recently. If there are any hormones in it, don't affect the fish roe in your stomach."
"Hey, that grass carp uncle, you are really cold-blooded. You usually look down on us. Why are you here to join in the fun today? I don't want to give up the heroic words you made a while ago? This Yusheng's face, When you say no, you are really tough!"
"Huh? Are you leaving now? Then please go slowly, don't be in a hurry, smell the bait more, your trip will not be in vain."
"What are you guys looking at? The old man has closed the line. Wait a minute. You will follow my arrangements and come over to eat one by one. You, you, you, come and line up!"
This little fish is obviously the boss of the team, giving orders to the surrounding fish, just like the overlord among human children, with a posture of calling the shots on his own territory.
Yu Peng noticed this little fish when he was on the mountain. After all, it was late at night, and it was emitting bursts of green light in the water. It was difficult not to be noticed. This time he went into the water, he was rushing towards this little crucian carp. of.
The small crucian carp is not big, about 6 taels, but it is completely green, and from time to time it emits a green halo that only Yu Peng can see.
A small animal in a similar situation is the little fox in Yu Peng's house.
At this moment, a popping sound came from the water, and a hook with bait landed a few meters away. The little crucian carp quickly called a group of fish to swim there.
"Come again, come again, come on, come on, follow my orders, the little grass carp, you go first, the slightly bigger grass carp, you go second, the little crucian carp, you go third, the fourth yes….."
Yu Peng looked at the group of small fish playing with the old man fishing here and found it very interesting. He did not speak or show his face, and just followed the group of small fish running around.
I don’t know what kind of magic there is about fishing. People who have this hobby always have no concept of time when they are addicted to it. Either they can go all day without eating or drinking without feeling tired, or they can stay up all night. It doesn’t feel hard either.
I heard someone say before that some people are addicted to fishing. No matter it’s windy, rainy, lightning or thunder, as long as they pick up a fishing rod, like a soldier carrying a gun, no one or anything can stop them from fishing.
If anyone looks for it, they will know that they are either fishing or on their way to fishing.
This seems to have become a spirit and a belief.
For fishing, there is no place they dare not go, and there is no time to be afraid.
It is said that in one place, the elder brother who was fishing at night found a floating corpse. In order not to disturb the nest, he waited until the sun came out the next day before calling the police.
The local fish lovers knew that this big brother insisted on fishing in order not to disturb the nest, so they stayed with the floating corpse all night and respected him as a god! ! Since then, he has become the spiritual leader of local aquarists.
It was almost 11:30 in the evening, and the hook with the bait never dropped. The little crucian carp swam to the water surface and looked at it for a while, then turned over and came back to tell the fish group:
"Okay, okay, today's dinner party is over, the old man has gone home!"
"Everyone, come here, let's have a summary meeting!"
"Today is a day worth celebrating. Not a single one of our friends was caught. Let me sum it up. The best performer today was the little grass carp. It was caught more times and ate the most bait. It was a deep guerrilla fighter. The essence is that this is our good warrior, and he is an example worth learning from! After a while, everyone will learn more from him and learn from his experience. We must make progress together. If we are all such good warriors, then our war must be There will be greater victory.”
"Of course, where there are role models, there are also negative examples. This little crucian carp, I'm not talking about you. Although we are from the same species, your performance today was really bad, especially when you jumped in line to grab the bait. It was bad. Just hang yourself on the hook. If the old man hadn't reacted half a beat too late, the little grass carp following you would have almost been caught. You must remember that we are a team and they are all your comrades. , we must unite and help each other to really win the war."
"Okay, today we don't have a single battle casualty. It's a day worth celebrating, a day worth remembering. It seems that my insistence on telling you battle stories every day is still effective, so today's battle sharing will be added by an hour!"
When the other fish in the fish school heard this, they swam happily and flapped their fins rapidly, as if they were clapping their hands.
Obviously, the last sentence is more inspiring, oh, it’s the fish heart.
When the little crucian carp spoke again, his voice was dull and hoarse, like an old man in declining years, talking to himself on the recliner. I'm afraid he didn't even know who he was talking to.
If the sound is correct, it should be imitating the old man fishing on the shore.
"When the youngest left, it was so miserable. He was a tattered man, thin and dry, with his stomach split in half from the middle, leaving only his spine connected. The ground was covered in blood and sticky, and then In addition, his hands were grabbing here and there randomly, and it took me a long time to grab his hand. All the white intestines flowed out from my stomach, and there were still several pieces left for the cannonballs to take away. Go out and scatter everywhere.”
"They say that the smell of disembowelment is so strong that it can stun someone to death. That's all bullshit. Apart from the smell of blood, there is no other smell. Why do you think it has no smell? That's because there is nothing in the stomach. Then The battle lasted for more than ten days, and we were hungry for more than ten days. We had nothing but a little water in our stomachs."
"When the youngest was dying, his face was covered with dirt. As soon as he spoke, blood foam and dirt poured out and flowed down his neck, vaguely. Next to him, there was the whizzing of bullets and the roar of artillery shells. No sound, nothing can be heard.”
"I have been thinking and researching since then. What did the youngest want to say in the end?"
"When Zhu Zhu died, he asked me to take him home."
"When the squad leader died, he told me to hold on and we would win."
"When the Second Artilleryman died, he shouted to me to get out of the way, then pushed me away, and was blown away by a grenade."
"When my eldest brother dies, let me take care of my parents."
"When Xiao Qi died, he didn't say anything. Maybe he said it, but we didn't hear it. His eyes were just staring at the stars in the sky."
"But after all these years, I just can't figure out what the youngest said."
"Ordinarily, the youngest is the youngest in the class, but his parents were killed by the Japanese a long time ago, and he has no brothers or sisters. I don't even know if the family is still alive, so what on earth is he trying to say?"
"Anyway, I can't figure it out. I think about it and guess every day, but I can't guess it right. I'm worried to death."
"Same, eldest brother. You said that we came out together and fought for several years. It's the end and we're about to get over it. You left first. I was still thinking that if I died, my parents would be much better. It’s sad, the family is counting on you, my eldest brother.”
"Who would have thought that those who want to die are gone, and those who don't want to die are gone."
"But, I'm getting faster. After walking a few steps, my legs started to tremble. I could fall down on the next slope, so I guess that's all I'll get through."
"Hey, this fall was just like that in that critical battle that year. The Second Artillery and I finally broke through to the mountainside and blew up a Japanese bunker. As a result, we were hit by several grenades. I was completely confused at that time. , My head was hot, my feet were cold, and I almost peed. Hey, luckily, I didn’t pee, otherwise I would have lost my life."
"If nothing else, even though the Second Artilleryman was usually so dumbfounded, at the critical moment, he reacted quickly. He yelled to get out of the way, pushed me back, and intercepted a few grenades with his body. "
After a long pause, the sound continued to come out of the little crucian carp's mouth.
"Sigh... I don't know whether it was because the second gunner was too strong, or whether it was pushed by the airflow during the explosion. I rolled from the middle of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, screaming, and I fell unconscious. It took several days to wake up."
"This means that you are lucky. If you knock on a stone or something during this period, your head will be broken immediately."
"Later Tiejun's life was short-lived. He fell down from the mountain. You see, half of his head was lost when he fell."
"This is fate, don't accept it"
"By the way, I have to buy some paper money after a while and burn some for my brothers. Don't be poor underground. I just don't know if you can get it. If you can't get it, I will burn it for myself in advance and live in poverty. "If you die and have some savings, let's have some luxury."
"I just don't know if there is haggis soup and sesame seed cakes underground. I have been thinking about this for so many years, and I don't know if I can have a bite. I really didn't dare to eat it when I was alive all these years. When I want to take a bite, I think of my eldest brother. My parents have been poor all their lives, and the most delicious thing they have ever eaten is mutton soup and sesame cakes. If I eat them now, I will always feel sorry for them, and I will be fine if I die."
"There are also those brothers who died. How many died of starvation alone? Xiaojun was only 14 years old, and the soldier was as strong as a man. He could carry a heavy machine gun weighing several dozen kilograms and run for a day. Who would have thought that he would end up in the end? Those who are starving to death, and those who can’t remember their names, always feel that if they eat something good, they will feel guilty and panic.”
"The day before yesterday, the little grandson of the old Liu family in the village brought me a fire roast. I took a bite. It was so delicious. It was so delicious. You said we were at war at that time, let alone such delicious food. Can a few brothers be killed by burning the dregs of a fire?"
"This battle, we fight, we fight, we fight without stopping. When we are really liberated, we win. When I look back, I am the only one left. You say this is victory, so what does it mean? What do you mean?"
"Over the years, no one in the village knew that I was a soldier. Later, I didn't tell anyone. I survived the battlefield. I'm so embarrassed to say it. What should I say? These brothers who left together, I’m the only one left? Say I stepped on everyone’s corpses and survived? Say I’m a fighting hero? Then those people who died are not heroes?”
"It's all nonsense. This report and that report on TV say that so-and-so is a fighting hero. It's nonsense. I don't know that kid yet. During the war, I was so scared that I peed my pants. I cried behind a rock and my eyes were open. Looking at him, he has become a fighting hero. The few people who were charging in front of him were all killed by the shells. The scum could not be found. In the end, they were missing. Their deaths were in vain. ?”
After that, there were still illogical thoughts, which the little crucian carp slowly imitated from the old man's words.
It seems that the little crucian carp must have been imitating for a long time. After all, it takes a long time for animals to develop intelligence and begin to adapt to their own changes, or slowly learn to think. However, the little crucian carp imitated the old man so vividly that it must have taken many years to master it. this state.
Just now when the old man put away his pole and went back, Yu Peng glanced at it. The old man was indeed not in a good condition. I am afraid that as he said to himself, time is running out.
