I have been wondering what the "fun" he was talking about was. When our boat stopped at another quiet and old ferry, there was not much we could guess.

He helped me, and the two of us boarded the clean but simple trestle. The scenery here was even better than the ferry just now. It was surrounded by a vast green sea of ​​reeds, which continued to rise and fall with the river breeze.

The blue waves bring an extraordinarily cool feeling, and you can faintly see wild flowers of various colors hiding among them, just like a few stars dotted in the night sky.

At the end of the river beach, there are towering mountain peaks, on which you can see the dilapidated and abandoned plank road. It used to be a place with great scenery, but now that there is no one around, it is even more quiet and picturesque.

I looked at the surrounding scenery with a smile. Pei Yuanxiu hugged me and said softly: "Do you like it here?"

"Yeah, I like it."

"How about we just stay here for a day today?"

"Stay for a day?" I was stunned for a moment and looked around. There were no houses or huts to live in, and the place looked deserted, and it didn't look like it was occupied by people. Do we want to cover the whole place?

Looking at my confused look, he smiled and said: "When I went to Jixiang Village to see you before, I saw some fishermen living on boats, very carefree. Let's give it a try today, okay?"

It turned out that this was what he had in mind.

But, Xiaoyao?

He really doesn’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Those fishermen live on boats because they are so poor that they have no choice but to live on a boat. Who in the right mind would be willing to live without a fixed place like this?

I didn't say this clearly, I just smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I'll be a fisherman's wife for a day."

Although I have never really been a fisherman's wife on a boat, my two lives in Jixiang Village have made me very familiar with housework. Besides, what I did today was just a show, and there was no housework to take care of.

The boatman left after rowing the boat here. Of course, I also know that although it seems that there is no one here, it is impossible for someone like Pei Yuanxiu to be alone here with me, but he is in a very high mood.

, took the fishing rod and bait from the boat, sat on the trestle bridge, swung the rod and started fishing.

And I have already set up the stove and washed the pots by the river, just waiting for his harvest.

As a result, after waiting for two hours, it was almost dark, and he didn't even catch a small caterpillar.

I sat in the cabin and almost dozed off for a while. When I came out to see him, he was still sitting there, frowning and staring at the water, almost making a hole in the river.

I couldn't help laughing: "Are you planning to stay so hungry that we can't even see the fish and jump into the pot yourself?"

He raised his head and looked at me, smiling awkwardly.

"I watch them fishing just sitting by the water, why can't I?"

I smiled and shook my head. When people sit by the water and fish, they are calm, but looking at them, they are just calm.

But I didn't say much. I just sat on the edge of the boat and started to take off my shoes and socks. He was stunned for a moment and asked: "Qingying, what are you doing?"

"How can I eat fish without getting my feet wet?"

I smiled, tucked my skirt around my waist, and got off the boat barefoot. At this time, the weather had begun to get warmer, and the river was still a little cool, but it was not so cold that I couldn't stand. I shivered a little, but

He quickly adapted to it. But Pei Yuanxiu said anxiously: "Qingying, be careful of catching a cold!"

I stood in the cool shallow water and had already started to bend down to move the stones. I smiled and replied: "I'm not as delicate as you think. I was already pregnant with Li'er for seven or eight months, so I still do the work."<

/p>

He stood at the end of the bridge and said nothing for a while. When he saw me moving stones from the shore into the water, he simply took off his shoes and socks and jumped down, saying: "Whatever you want to do, I'll help you."

I smiled and pointed to a pile of rubble on the shore: "Help me move a few more rocks."

He really went obediently and moved back and forth several times. Although the two of us stepped barefoot in the slightly cool river water, there was still a layer of sweat on our foreheads. I carefully placed the stone below the surface of the shallow water.

I made a circle around the place, then went back to the boat, took a piece of pastry, broke it into pieces, and sprinkled it in it. I ignored it and continued to search around the bow of the boat. Pei Yuanxiu asked me doubtfully: "What is this for?"
p>

I raised my head and saw him standing stupidly in the water. His originally cool white clothes were stained with a lot of mud, and his bare feet were completely different from his usual immortal-like temperament.

I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When he saw me smiling, he looked down at himself and couldn't help but smile.

Then he said: "Isn't it funny how I look like this?"

I covered my mouth: "If someone sees me, they will definitely think that I am dreaming."

"I won't let others see me like this." As he said this, he walked over a few steps, held the bow of the boat with one hand, and said, "Only you can see it."

I looked at his smiling eyes, smiled and said nothing. I just lowered my head and continued to search, and finally found what I wanted among a pile of utensils.

"Found it!"

Pei Yuanxiu saw that I was holding a harpoon in my hand, and his eyes widened in shock: "You——"

I smiled and jumped from the boat. Although it was not high, the water splashed still wet half of his body, and even his face was splashed with water. I looked back at him, smiled with joy, and then took the harpoon.

Slowly walk towards the place in front where the water is slightly deeper.

Pei Yuanxiu followed me and said hurriedly: "Qingying, be careful!"

"Shh——"

I turned around and gestured to him, then stared in front of me. Under the clear water, a half-sized fish was swinging its tail leisurely. I walked over carefully holding the harpoon.

When I aimed at the fish and was about to insert it, I suddenly remembered something, stopped my action again, and moved my aiming head slightly.

Pei Yuanxiu looked on with confusion on his face, but did not dare to say anything.

I roughly figured out the position, then held my breath and thrust down hard——

With a splash, there was a huge splash of water. The fish was stuck by my harpoon, and it was thrashing in pain. The water droplets spread and splashed on my face. Pei Yuanxiu, who was next to him, had already laughed in surprise:

"Ah, I really caught it!"

I laughed happily and raised the harpoon towards him: "Look! I learn quickly!"

He was stunned for a moment, and I had already walked towards the shore with the harpoon in hand. While taking the fish off, I said, "This kind of fish is very delicious when made into soup. You must have never tried it!"

"..."

"Also, don't you like to eat the braised fish I made? I will cook it for you when the water subsides later, just wait a little longer."

"..."

"I'll give you a big meal today."

"..."

I said happily, but the man behind me never responded. I felt something. When I turned around, I saw him still standing in the water looking at me, so I said, "What's wrong with you?"

"..." A smile appeared on his face: "Nothing. How to make fish soup, I'll help you."

I smiled and handed the fish to him: "Then, go clean it up."

I originally thought it would be a simple matter, but who knew that he didn't know how to clean the fish at all? After doing it for a long time, not only did he fail to cut it open and clean it, but he ended up with blood on his hands and face. He was in such a mess that my pot almost burned red.

Before I could wait, I had no choice but to go over and do it myself. I cleaned it up in a few seconds. I put the fish in the oil pan and fried it until both sides were slightly brown. Then I added water and added scallions and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell.

After a while, the soup turned milky white, rolling in the pot, and a rich aroma spread around.

I filled a small bowl with half a bowl and handed it to him: "Have a taste."

He took it, lowered his head and took a small sip. I immediately asked: "How does it taste?"

"Well, it's delicious."

The two of them gathered around a half-pot of soup. Although there was no other delicacy, they drank it with gusto. By the time the pot reached the bottom, it was already getting dark. The sun was setting in the west, leaving behind a golden cloud that covered the entire Yangtze River.

Coated with a thin layer of gold.

The view is just right.

I sat side by side with him on the trestle, not even bothering to put on shoes and socks. My bare ankles were hanging there, being blown by the evening breeze and feeling a bit cool. Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me and said softly:

"Put on your shoes and socks, be careful of catching a cold."

I didn't speak, I just listened to the feng shui in my ears, the rustling of reed leaves, and the rustling sound of the river flowing through the stone beach. Then I raised my head and looked at him: "Let's go, let's collect the net."

"Close the net?"

He was stunned again, having no idea what I was talking about, but he quickly got up and jumped off the trestle with me, and walked to the place where we moved the rocks to build a circle. The river had receded quite a bit, and the rocks that were still underwater just now were

The circle had already emerged from the water at this time. There was a shallow layer of water inside, and several small fish were swimming anxiously, hitting the surrounding rocks.

When he saw it, he immediately opened his eyes in surprise: "How could this happen?!"

I walked over and counted them. There were five fish in total. I was so happy that I clapped my hands: "This method really works!"

He raised his head and glanced at me.

I have already squatted down and started catching fish: "Come and help me, I will rely on these preserved fish at night."

The fish caught were neither big nor too many. As I said, it was enough for two people to eat.

However, I am happier than the past few days.

Although there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, no beautiful gardens, no leisurely listening to operas in restaurants, and no excitement of watching sideshows on the street, mental comfort makes people more relaxed and comfortable than physical enjoyment.

We didn’t leave here after nightfall.

He said that I wanted to be a sailor for a day, so I naturally followed him. I simply washed up, took away all the small tables and cushions in the cabin, and laid out a mattress for resting, as well as a thin quilt. Here

It became a simple bedroom again.

I lay on the "bed" that was not soft and comfortable, and felt the hull of the boat swaying slightly with the flow of the river, but the feeling made people feel very calm, even stable, as if everyone was in the arms of their mother when they were young.

The memory in is average.

And this small awning boat still seems to be filled with the smell of fish, which is intertwined with the faint smell of water from the surrounding river. It is a smell that was once so familiar.

I wrapped myself in a quilt that was not soft and closed my eyes comfortably.

At this moment, I felt the hull of the ship move.

No, it wasn’t the ship that moved, but the people around it.

I opened my eyes, but there was no light in the small awning. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. Before I could react, I felt a hot hand touching my cheek. I was touched by that palm.

The temperature made me shiver.

"Yuan——"
