Perhaps it was because the autumn harvest was in full swing, the riverbank was deserted.
Shu Miao looked at the people busying around in the distance, and always felt that she was out of tune with this world, as if everyone was deliberately ignoring her.
Once this thought popped into her mind, she couldn't get rid of it.
Although she was confused, she was even a little curious.
But I have to admit that this neglect has become a great convenience for her.
Shu Miao looked around the slow-flowing river and did not choose the river beach where people usually played.
Instead, I decided to walk along the river and see if I could find a sheltered place.
But not long after they left, Shu Miao discovered something was wrong.
Because the area of the river shrank visibly, it soon became a small stream no wider than the instep of the foot, winding towards the low-lying area.
Shu Miao stopped in confusion. How could a small river that could wash out such a large riverbed end just like a game?
She looked around and saw only one or two adobe and thatched houses.
Only the continuous sweet potato fields are the most eye-catching.
Next to the field is a compacted loess road that extends further into the distance.
At this point, Shu Miao had given up the idea of moving forward. She was afraid that if she walked too far, she would not be able to get home before dark.
After figuring out the direction and distribution of the stream, Shu Miao also marked out several good places for "wild hunting" in his mind.
First, we walked towards the nearest reed marsh. To call it a reed marsh is really overestimating it.
Because the total area of this reed marsh is only a little over ten meters, if it weren't for the fact that it is right at the foot of the hillside and wouldn't be a hindrance to people, it probably wouldn't have been able to stay.
Seeing a man-made path in the middle, Shu Miao walked in boldly.
As soon as she set foot there, Shu Miao was shocked to find that the reed marsh was even thinner than she had imagined, and she reached the end in just a few steps.
What followed was a big puddle.
If it weren't for the circle of bluestone slabs piled up on the edge of the puddle to store water, this small puddle would probably just be called a small puddle.
This is the last reservoir at the end of the stream. Beyond this point, it can only be called a small stream.
The purpose of Shu Miao's trip was to "hunt in the wild" and he looked at the plants around the puddle...
Very good, most of them are unknown.
The puddle was so clear that you could see the bottom and not even a fish could be seen.
At the same time, he decisively put a big cross on this place on the map in his mind.
After leaving the puddle, there were almost no obvious sheltered areas in the next few locations.
Only occasionally in places with lush aquatic plants can you squat down to barely hide your figure.
The reason is that the obvious traces of human cutting are enough to prove everything.
As a result, most of the water plants beside the ditch had no chance of growing taller than her knees.
It seems that the value brought by this small river has been fully utilized by the team along the river, and it really deserves the name!
The next step is to carefully select the "wilderness" location. If there is too much grass and you can't see the ditch clearly, go around it!
This is obviously a section of the river used for washing, go around it!
Large water storage pond, bypass it!
After going around in circles, Shu Miao returned to the starting point.
Looking at the riverbank dyed red by the setting sun, she sighed helplessly.
She just wanted to see if she could get some fish and shrimp from the river and raise them in the space. Why was it so difficult?
At this moment, the gong for the end of work, which was much later than usual, rang in Shu Miao's ears.
Just as the gong stopped, the children's cheers were heard.
The children, both young and old, who had just been lying listless in the fields, now ran away from the brigade headquarters in joy like birds waking up in the morning.
When he saw Shu Miao standing on the side of the road, he just took a curious look at her, and his legs moved even faster.
Seeing them like this, Shu Miao probably guessed that they were probably rushing home to cook or have dinner.
Thinking of this, Shu Miao suddenly remembered something she had forgotten!
key!
How could she forget that the key is still in her hand!
Thinking of this, Shu Miao suddenly became energetic and ran towards home as fast as he could.
Just when she thought she would have to endure a scolding from Zili today, she was shocked to find that her door was wide open, which meant that there was obviously someone at home!
Although he was confused, Shu Miao did not dare to be careless and rushed into the yard.
When he saw a familiar-looking young man cooking in the kitchen, he was stunned.
Although the lighting in the kitchen was poor, one could still tell that the boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and was very handsome.
His eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Shu Zili, and he is quite recognizable.
I think his name is Shu Ziqiang.
This eldest cousin was the boy who dragged and yelled at her at "Grandpa's" funeral.
Later I heard that I went to school in the commune. I guess I lived on campus, otherwise why would I only come back once a month?
Shu Ziqiang turned around and saw that the person coming was Shu Miao. He just glanced at her lightly and continued with his actions.
Shu Miao didn't care about his coldness, as long as no thieves got in.
She turned and went to the main room and put the key on the table.
Looking at the familiar portrait of the leader above the shrine, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In an instant, all the insecurities disappeared, and this unprecedented sense of security made Shu Miao finally feel down to earth.
Before she could feel the familiarity with this world, a loud scream broke the peace.
"Brother? Brother! It's really you! Ahhh..."
