Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Cotoneaster is a common tree here. Liu Junhao doesn¡¯t know the scientific name of this tree. It is a tall shrub with fur all over its body. The leaves are as big as the palm of a hand and are heart-shaped. The fruit is bright red and has a yolk core.  Large and small, the outside of the core is like a cactus, covered with red thread-like substances, full of sweet juice, sweet and slightly sour. Children in rural areas like to eat it, but because of this, hairy wolfberry eggs are particularly easy to attract flies, which is really annoying.  of.  This kind of thing has no use at all in the countryside, it just burns fire.  Because as long as this tree grows up, there is a chance that the trunk will be hollowed out by beetles and other insects.

    But this tree is of use to children.  There is a kind of resin in its trunk, and when you cut its skin with a knife, a white sap will flow out. It is sticky, and its local name is hairy wolfberry tree tendon. Children in rural areas do not have many toys and deal with mud all day long, so most children  You can use mud to make kittens, puppies, mules, cows and horses and other lifelike small animals.  It's just that the mud will burst open as soon as it is dried in the sun without being calcined. I don't know who the predecessor discovered. After the mud toys are made, they are extremely strong after being coated with wolfberry tendon, even on the big stone slabs.  It can't be broken even if dropped.

    Although Liu Junhao was impatient with this little guy causing trouble next to him, he couldn't drive him away, so he simply ignored him. After a while, he caught a few more crucian carp. This kind of fish is very common in rural areas, and there is no one who likes it, so  Liu Junhao didn't care. He was chatting with Mao Hai while looking at the fishing float. As he was talking, he suddenly saw a group of small black fry running not far away. He felt happy and quickly made a gesture to silence Mao Hai.

    "Is it a fire?" Although Mao Boy is young, he is also very knowledgeable and asked in a low voice with some joy in his heart.

    "It should be" Liu Junhao replied with some joy.

    As mentioned above, the fire head can easily reach the shallow water area on the shore, but there is one exception, and that is when fry are produced.

    The temperature in deep water is low, and the newly born fry cannot bear it at all, so the fry are active in shallow water, and at this time, there are usually two fire heads to protect the fry.

    Sure enough, Liu Junhao soon saw a dark thing floating under the water, which should be the fire.

    Usually the fire head is very clever. As long as someone passes by, it will immediately fall into the water and cannot get out. During the protection period, the fire head is very violent and ferocious. If there is any movement, it will be considered as a provocation to the fry and it will launch a violent attack. Therefore, people are fishing for the fire head.  It was carried out at this time.

    Sure enough, Liu Junhao just shook the fishhook above the fry a few times, and the fry immediately started running around in panic. The fire head also rushed over impatiently, swallowed the fishhook in one gulp, and then suddenly pulled it away, almost knocking Liu Junhao away.  Pulled off the willow tree.

    "It's a big guy!!" Liu Junhao was frightened and jumped down from the willow tree in a hurry.

    "Everyone, come and see. Uncle Xiao Hao has caught a big fire!!" At this time, Mao Boy also shouted at the top of his lungs.

    There is a place to enjoy the shade not far away.  Place to play cards.  Fishing place.  They rushed over one after another.  Surrounded by Liu Junhao.

    I saw the fishing float floating up and down.  The cotton thread was also stretched tightly.  At this time, everyone could see that the guy in the water must be quite big.  Someone shouted at the top of his lungs: "Xiao Hao. Don't pull with brute force. Don't be too hasty with this thing."

    Liu Junhao naturally understands this truth.  He let out the line a little.  Only when he felt that the fire head was no longer struggling vigorously did he carefully pull the fishing line back.  Huotou immediately started struggling fiercely again.  A wooden basin was dug out of the water.  Liu Junhao quickly let go of the fishing line again.

    It just floats and falls.  Loosely and tightly.  Renren and Huotou are like two opponents fighting for wits and courage.  Constantly in the water, you come and go.

    But Liu Junhao, a man of half the world, is naturally stronger than him.  Always in control.

    "How big is it?" Liu Laosan asked from behind at this time. Ever since he was hit by Huo Tou, he had been fighting with Huo Tou.

    "I don't know. It feels quite big. It should weigh 20 to 30 kilograms. It is still very strong now. We need to use up its strength first." It was also the first time for Liu Junhao to catch such a big fish. He didn't know how big this fish was.  , can only be roughly estimated.

    After half an hour, the fire finally showed signs of exhaustion. Liu Junhao also pulled it to the shore bit by bit. At this time, it could be vaguely seen, and only a dark figure could be seen.  It emerged from the water, with black and white patterns on its body, and its pair of protruding, glowing small eyes glowed fiercely. Its teeth were also exposed under the pull of the fishhook. This fire head looked like a small monster. Look at it.  It's pretty scary to go up there.

    Although more than half an hour had passed, the people in Liujiagou had both time and patience. They waited calmly and sighed a few times from time to time.

    "I'm afraid it's more than twenty kilograms, at least"Ten pounds more, and I haven't caught such a big fish in more than ten years. This guy's luck"

    "Xiao Hao, how about you come to my house to make a deal tonight? You don't have to pay anything, just take the heat"

    Seeing that Liu Junhao pursed his lips and remained silent, someone shouted again, "Xiao Hao, I want to try something new. How about selling me this fire head for fifty yuan?"

    "Fifty? Such a big fire head is worth at least one hundred. Last time Ergouzi caught one that weighed more than eight pounds and sold it for more than forty yuan in the town."

    Liu Junhao didn't respond to these words at all, he just relied on his anger to catch the fire in the water. He couldn't stand it for so long, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

    "Xiaohao, are you tired? How about you let me help you? When you catch the fish, how about you share a few pounds with me?"

    Liu Junhao still didn't answer, but slowly pulled the fishing line. The firehead seemed to realize that he was not far from death, and began to make a final struggle in the water, flopping and splashing, and the water splashed more than three feet high in excitement, but  It is obvious that he has reached the end of his strength and can no longer pull any tricks.

    In the envious eyes of the Liujiagou people, Liu Junhao finally pulled the fire out of the situation, while the children screamed and jumped excitedly.

    At this time, Liu Junhao discovered that almost all the idle people in Zhuangzi were gathered behind him. There were two to three hundred people watching him try to make a fool of himself. This shocked him. He also discovered that someone had already prepared a large scale and a leather tape measure.  He pressed the fire head to the ground and measured it at 1.3 meters. Then he put it in a long insect skin bag and weighed it at 31 pounds.

    This data caused people to exclaim and discuss again.

    "Dogs are so lucky. This stuff is enough to last for a few days, but it's a pity that it can't be stored in the summer"

    "It's a pity to eat it. Of course, I have to sell it in the town. I estimate it will sell for at least 100 yuan. If I find a suitable first 150 yuan, some people will want it"

    "Xiaohao, I'll pay you one hundred and fifty, you can sell it to me, I'll be rich for a while"

    "I won't sell it, I won't sell it, I won't sell it for any money, I'm going to keep it" Liu Junhao suddenly had his own plan. He was really going to keep this fire head. After all, this thing is rare.

    "What the hell, where are you going to raise such a big guy? I'm talking about Xiaohao. The fish eats fresh shrimps and jumps. This fire head is still valuable when it is alive. In such a hot weather, it stinks within half a day of death.  Then it¡¯s not worth a penny?¡± Liu Guangju, the village party secretary, dissuaded, ¡°Why don¡¯t you sell it to me for two hundred yuan?¡±

    Seeing that Liu Junhao remained silent, he added: "I'll give you another thirty, okay?"

    Two hundred and thirty yuan made everyone around the fire take a breath. This is basically equivalent to a month's salary of a rural construction worker. Although Qingshan Town is very poor, outside the mountains, the county seat is hundreds of miles away.  But it is extremely prosperous. Many villagers in Qingshan Town work with the construction team in the county town during their spare time. They work hard for ten yuan a day, of which three yuan is deducted for food every day. In other words, one  One construction worker per month without any other expenses can save 270 yuan.

    Seeing that Liu Guang had collected more than 200 yuan, some people began to curse in their hearts, "Your uncle, you are a wife seller, you know how to eat, I will eat you to death."
