This incident attracted a lot of attention at that time. Many people claimed that they saw something looming across the clouds. Some even insisted that the thing in the clouds was a dragon. Some even said that it was actually a dragon. It's hidden in the water column...
In short, no matter what, the local residents always believed that what passed by the river that day was a dragon.
In fact, to be honest, not only the fishermen who had not gone to school, but even I, who was only a few years old, thought that what happened that day was very special. Although I am not sure whether everything has anything to do with the dragon, at least I have nothing to do with it. It doesn't matter.
After the rain stopped, our old man was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took Uncle Xu and me to wander around the town for three days.
I was too young at that time, and I don’t remember many things very well. I just vaguely remember that Uncle Xu was away for a day. When he came back, his left hand seemed to be injured.
I asked Second Uncle Xu: "Second Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you still injured?"
Second Uncle Xu smiled at me and said, "It's nothing, Xiaotian! Second Uncle went fishing and accidentally let a fish bite his hand!"
When I heard this, my eyes widened immediately and I said, "Uncle Xu, the fish still bites people?"
Uncle Xu touched my head and said, "Of course! And it hurts when I bite someone!"
I looked at Uncle Xu and asked, "What kind of fish is that? Where is that fish? Uncle Xu, I want to see it!"
Uncle Xu smiled and said: "That fish is not good-looking, not only bad-looking, but also very ugly!"
I grabbed Second Uncle Xu's hand and said in a pleading tone: "But...Second Uncle, I still want to see it! Please! Let me see it!"
"Okay!" Uncle Xu pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Since you insist on seeing it, Xiaotian, I'll take you to see it..."
I didn't wait for Uncle Xu to finish what he said, so I clapped my hands happily and said, "Great! Great! I want to see what kind of virtue the fish that can hurt Uncle Xu will develop...!"
Uncle Xu smiled and patted my shoulder and said, "Xiaotian, don't be impatient! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
I looked at Second Uncle Xu, with a look of disappointment on my face unconsciously, and said, "What's wrong, Second Uncle? Are you going to regret it?"
Uncle Xu shook his head and said, "Since I promised you, of course I can't go back on it!"
I quickly answered: "Then what do you mean?"
Uncle Xu smiled and said: "I mean now is not the time to take you to see fish..."
I reached out and grabbed Uncle Xu’s clothes and said, "Why? Why isn’t it the right time? I want to see it now...! Please Uncle Xu, please take me to see it!"
Second Uncle Xu saw my unwillingness to give up, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He sighed and looked at our old man with pleading eyes.
Our old man is usually very serious. Although it cannot be said that he has a bitter and hateful expression on his face, he can still bear the word "stern and unsmiling".
Seeing Uncle Xu looking at him, our old man also coughed twice.
And I was a child who was used to being wild. I was not afraid of anything, except that I was afraid of finding my dad if something happened. Therefore, when I heard him cough like this, I stopped inking at that time.
I turned around and glanced at our old man timidly. Just when I was about to say something, I heard him say coldly: "Okay, Xiaotian. Your second uncle has promised to take you to see fish... are you still bothering me?" What are you doing whining?"
"But..." As soon as I opened my mouth, my old man choked me back after saying only two words.
Just listen to our old man say: "But... you have to force me to beat you up in front of so many people, so you can be honest? What...? Are you too stubborn again? Do you need to deal with it?"
As soon as I heard what the old man said, I immediately knew in my heart that if I kept talking, I would not be able to escape from this beating. As the saying goes, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero." Although I was young at that time, I could still see things clearly. of.
So, I stopped talking immediately and just lowered my head and kicked the stones back and forth on the ground.
Second Uncle Xu saw my aggrieved expression, so he smiled and said, "Second Uncle knows you want to see that fish, and Second Uncle also agreed, right?"
I raised my eyes and glanced at Uncle Xu, and asked softly: "Then when will I be able to see that fish?"
Uncle Xu smiled and said, "Xiaotian, it's like this...your dad and I still have something to do. When we're done, I'll show it to you, okay?"
I nodded when I heard this, then stretched out the little finger of my right hand and said to Uncle Xu: "Keep your word... pull the hook..."
Uncle Xu looked at my extended little hand and said with a smile: "Okay! Pull the hook..."
At this moment, the town cadre who had been arranging for our food, accommodation and transportation for the past two days suddenly ran into the house and smiled at Uncle Xu and our old man: "You two are here, that's great! Now I have time Really? Someone wants to meet you two!"
When they heard that someone wanted to see them, our old man and Uncle Xu couldn't help but frown, but the expressions stayed on their faces for less than a second.
Both of them are veterans and feel that no one will know what they are thinking.
Our old man coughed slightly and said, "Who wants to see us? Is it the leader of the town?"
The town cadre quickly waved his hand and said: "Not our leader here..."
After saying this, he pointed to the roof, and then continued with a smile: "It's the leader above... It's the leader above..."
The town cadre said it very excitedly, and he said it several times in a row. His expression seemed to be indescribably excited, and there was a bit of obscenity in the excitement.
Our old man smiled and said: "Oh! So it's someone from the county..."
But who would have imagined that our old man was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by the town cadre. He quickly waved his hand and said: "I am not a leader in the county..."
Second Uncle Xu also became interested when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Where did that come from? Could it be that someone came from the capital!"
As soon as Mr. Xu said these words, the town cadre immediately slapped his thigh. His movements were very exaggerated. With the sound of "snap", Mr. Xu and our old man were almost frightened.
Mr. Xu looked at the town cadre and said, "Brother, can we be gentler...? This is just a child! We brothers are so courageous that we are not afraid of being scared. If you turn around and scare the child, what will happen?" What’s going on?”
The town cadre hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I got a little excited! However, Mr. Xu really left you guessing. He is really from the capital!"
