RPAGF Chapter 184 Ice Fishing
Chapter 184 Ice Fishing
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
Gu Qingming was awakened by the heat and found that his hands and quilt were tied up with hemp ropes. Only his face was exposed, and the rest of his body was wrapped in the quilt. Only his feet could move. He kicked off the quilt beside his feet and felt a little cooler.
He quickly turned around and kicked the figure sleeping next to him who had also wrapped himself up in a ball with his hands placed in front of him.
I kicked him but there was no response.
That’s probably because the quilt was too thick, so I couldn’t feel it.
Gu Qingming kicked the figure next to him twice.
"Brother, get up!"
He rolled directly to Gu Qinghan's side and shouted loudly in his ear.
But Gu Qinghan just opened his eyes slightly, pushed Gu Qingming aside, touched the pillow beside him, covered his ears, and fell asleep again.
"Brother~"
Gu Qingming moved closer to Gu Qinghan like a timid caterpillar and kicked him hard again, as if to vent his anger, and kicked him a few more times.
"I'll let you tie me up. I'll kick you awake."
Gu Qingming was a little tired from kicking, so he stopped and rested for a while.
But Gu Qinghan ignored him and even moved towards the bed.
Gu Qingming continued to kick.
Gu Qinghan continued to move.
Until a dull "bang" was heard.
"Gu Qing, Ming!"
Gu Qinghan’s head hit the ground and he was immediately woken up.
He stood up and shouted angrily at Gu Qingming.
Gu Qingming once again crawled like a caterpillar, slowly moving away from his brother's gaze.
While squirming, he said, "Brother, I am being wronged. Didn't you fall down by yourself?"
"Besides, who told you to tie me up? I told you to untie me, but you pretended not to hear me. So I gently kicked you a few times to vent my anger. What's wrong with that?"
Gu Qinghan was somewhat speechless, and put his right hand on the back of his head, "Are you sure it was just a few kicks, or was it gentle?"
"Hehe..." Gu Qingming had nothing to say and could only smile awkwardly.
Shouting out the door, "Dad, Mom!"
"Father, Mother~"
"What's going on? What's going on? Why are you shouting so early in the morning?" Xu Qing and Village Chief Gu were warming themselves by the fire in the kitchen. When they heard Gu Qingming's shouting, they hurried into the house.
······
Xu Qing shouted angrily: "What are you two doing?"
Village Chief Gu frowned and untied the rope tied around Gu Qingming. Gu Qingming quickly came out from under the quilt, aggrieved, pointing at Gu Qinghan on the ground and complaining: "Father, mother, it was like this when I woke up this morning. It must have been done by my brother. I called him to help me untie it this morning, but he ignored me."
"Woo woo woo..."
Gu Qinghan rubbed his head and got up from the ground, and saw Gu Qingming howling there.
"If you sleep well, can I tie you up?"
Xu Qing and Village Chief Gu looked at each other in silence, and they both knew how their youngest son slept.
"Alright, Qingming, stop howling. Just go to sleep. You're not going to steal your brother's quilt. How can you do this? Qinghan, you're such a fool. Don't do this again next time. Come on, Lao Gu, let's go out."
Village Chief Gu looked at Gu Qinghan who was still sitting on the floor and Gu Qingming who was sitting on the bed pitifully. He shook his head helplessly and sighed.
He waved his sleeves, turned and walked out.
"Hmph!" Gu Qingming made a face, got off the bed, kicked his brother, and ran out.
With a "click", the door was closed loudly.
Gu Qinghan stood up from the ground wrapped in a quilt, put down the quilt, put on his coat, and went out.
······
"Big sister, there are so many fish!"
"Wow!"
Manyu and Liu Xiaoyu were on the river, watching the fish desperately jumping out of the holes in the ice, and clapped their hands happily.
It was a rare sunny day today, so Xu Yuan took a group of kids to the big river east of the village to fish.
When we arrived, there were already quite a few villagers and children scattered around the river, and several holes as big as bowls had appeared on the river surface.
The fish in the river looked like they hadn't breathed for a long time, and they tried desperately to jump out of the hole. The villagers and children standing in front of the hole squatted down happily, grabbing the big fish flapping around on the ice with both hands.
"Xuyuan, you are here too! Do you want to pick up some fish from our place and take them back?" Several kind-hearted villagers enthusiastically invited Xuyuan.
"Thank you for your kindness. I'm going to go over there and take a look. You guys can do it."
Xuyuan walked to a place far away from the villagers, found a suitable ice surface, and used a hammer and chisel to chisel a small hole in the ice.
After a while, many fish heads emerged from the cave entrance. They were so densely packed that when they couldn't squeeze through, the fish just jumped out of the cave entrance.
Many exclaimed: "Wow, big fish!"
Liu Yue came, and Guozi stepped forward excitedly: "Catch it quickly!"
Xu Zhi, Li Juanhua, Zhu Xiaoque and Wang Huan also squatted on the ground excitedly to catch the fish struggling on the surface of the river. After catching them, they knocked them unconscious with sticks and threw them directly into the backpack.
Xuyuan stood aside and watched them catch.
"what!"
"Someone come quickly!"
There was a sudden commotion not far from the wishing station. People on the river stopped what they were doing and rushed to the scene.
Xuyuan told Xiaozhi and Juanhua to watch over them here and hurried over.
······
"Brother, why are there so many people over there? Are there a lot of big fish there?"
Gu Qingming was carried on Gu Qinghan's back, with one arm around his brother's neck and the other holding a wooden barrel. It was good to be in a high place, and from a distance he saw a large group of people gathered in one place.
"Let's go and take a look." Li Junyong walked beside Li Junlan with his back on his back. He was afraid of missing any excitement, so he quickened his pace and did not forget to look back to urge Gu Qinghan to walk faster.
"Yes, brother, walk faster." Gu Qingming urged hurriedly, almost standing up on Gu Qinghan's back.
Gu Qingming shouted, "Behave yourself."
Gu Qinghan originally wanted to come here by himself to take a walk and bring some fish home. The fish in his own fish pond had only been there for a short time, and it was not yet time to catch them, but Gu Qingming also insisted on going, so he had to take the fish with him. He also met Li Junyong on the way, and they were both going here, so they went together.
Li Junyong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted to Gu Qinghan, who was walking behind: "Qinghan, I see Xu Yuan is also there, why don't you speed up?"
Gu Qinghan responded: "Shut up."
"Ha ha ha ha······"
Li Junyong's response was just a few laughs.
Gu Qingming opened his wide, confused eyes and became even more confused when he saw the two people's inexplicable conversation and laughter.
But they also heard that Sister Xuyuan was over there, and that Guozi and Duoduo should be there too. If they had known earlier, they would have brought Wugu Wudong with them. They wouldn’t have seen them yet.
When Xu Yuan was walking towards that place, he also saw Feng Juexiao and his elder brother Feng Juesheng, and even saw several people of the same age as Feng Juesheng. It seemed that the scholar who was not often in the village had returned.
Coming back at this time, I think the academy must be on holiday. Xu Yuan guessed that it might be related to the heavy snow in the county town. The snow was almost up to his thighs. The house that had not been maintained for many years could not withstand such a heavy snow. I heard that there were only a few scholars who came back from the village who were injured. The academy might have suffered as well.
As we got closer, the noise grew louder.
