After delivering the vegetables, Yu Chengyuan and Yu Pingan rushed home without delay.
We walked for a while.
Yu Chengyuan suddenly asked, "Brother, shall we go to the county hospital together this afternoon?"
Yu Pingan shook his head and said, "I think I'll pass."
Boss Su only asked if you wanted to go, he didn't ask me to go.
Aunt Weng is your mother-in-law, so it's only right that you visit her.
It's really not appropriate for me to go!
He felt like he didn't have any reason to go!
He didn't know any of those people, and he felt awkward standing there.
He was not a very outgoing person to begin with, and he was afraid that he might say something wrong and embarrass his younger brother.
Yu Chengyuan patted his older brother on the shoulder and said cheerfully, "What's inappropriate about it!"
You are the person who saved their life!
It's only right that you go and take a look!
Besides, didn't Manager Jiang say that his sister had agreed to treat you to dinner the other day?
That means they still remember you!
Come with me!
"We two brothers can keep each other company."
He also wanted his older brother to show his face in front of them and improve his image.
Yu Pingan hesitated for a moment and said, "Cheng Yuan, the surgery time is 2 pm."
"Won't we be too late when we get back? Then we won't have time to catch crayfish!"
Yu Pingan thought to himself, "It's getting too late."
Yu Chengyuan quickly said, "What's the big deal? It turns out that you were worried about missing the crayfish catching time!"
It's alright. Let's go home now. We'll get home around 10 o'clock. Once we get there, we'll go catch some crayfish. These things are very resilient and won't die easily.
I'll come back at 12 o'clock to cook, eat, and then go to the county hospital—that'll be just right.
Yu Chengyuan had already arranged his schedule meticulously.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ping'an thought his younger brother's arrangement was quite good, so he nodded and replied, "Okay, then I'll go!"
He thought to himself, at least he was the one who saved that girl.
I sincerely hope that she can recover safely and walk like a normal person again.
The thought of his fourth cousin being dumped by his fiancée because of his limp, and then becoming withdrawn, filled him with dread.
So, he ultimately decided to go with his younger brother to be there for the little girl during her surgery.
Yu Chengyuan was relieved to see that his elder brother had agreed.
She secretly hoped that her older brother and Jiang Haitang could have a different kind of fate.
There's a saying that goes, "Fate is determined by heaven, but destiny is determined by human effort."
Even if you have a chance to be together, you'll miss it if you don't seize the opportunity.
Especially with his honest and simple nature, the eldest brother probably needs someone to encourage him from the sidelines.
The two brothers returned home and quickly grabbed their fish baskets and other tools to set off.
This time, they changed their location to catch crayfish again.
This time it was a very large fishpond that had been abandoned for a long time and had not been used to raise fish for a long time.
So nobody cares, and you can fish in there without any problem.
When Yu Chengyuan passed by the river, he used a woodcutter's knife to cut two small bamboo poles that were less than two meters long and looked mature enough.
This type of bamboo pole is best suited for making fishing rods (shrimp fishing rods).
Today, his younger brother didn't even bring a winnowing basket, but instead brought two nets, a fish basket, a bucket, and a wood-chopping knife, which Yu Pingan found quite strange.
They wouldn't even let him hold the winnowing basket, saying he didn't need it today.
After cutting down some bamboo, the two walked forward and came to a large fishpond.
Yu Pingan couldn't help but ask, "Chengyuan, what are you doing cutting down two bamboo stalks?"
Yu Chengyuan pointed to the fishpond and said, "Of course, it's for catching crayfish!"
"Brother, look at the water in this old fishpond; there must be lots of crayfish there."
Yu Pingan finally understood what his younger brother meant and asked, "Chengyuan, do you mean we want to go fishing for crayfish in this pond?"
I glanced at the pond and thought it was indeed quite large. The pond was surrounded by aquatic plants, and the pond walls were quite high, so I figured the water must be quite deep.
No wonder people could drown back then...
Thinking of this, Yu Pingan felt a chill run down his spine.
Yu Chengyuan answered confidently, "Yes, this is where you fish for crayfish."
"Brother, trust me, there aren't just crayfish in here, there might even be big fish!"
When Yu Ping'an heard that his younger brother wanted to fish for crayfish in this place, his legs went weak with fear. He looked around and saw that there was not a single villager. He quickly said, "Chengyuan, let's go somewhere else!"
Nobody dares to come here. Whether or not there are crayfish, we're not going to take them.
Yu Chengyuan could tell that his brother was scared, so he smiled and said, "Big brother, you don't believe the rumors in the village that there are water ghosts in this pond, do you?"
"They say the water ghost dragged the child down, then found a substitute to reincarnate in?"
Yu Pingan shook his head and then nodded, pulling his younger brother, "Chengyuan, we should err on the side of caution and believe it's true, rather than denying it."
Let's go catch crayfish somewhere else!
Look at this place, it's so gloomy and scary!
They'd rather believe it exists than not.
"Brother, there are no ghosts or monsters in the world. The child was playing by the pond when he accidentally fell in."
The water is so deep, it looks like it's at least 1.5 meters deep, and the taro mud in this pond is deep too.
The child was only about a meter tall; if he fell, he would definitely die.
He was just a little kid himself back then, and he heard about this.
He used to believe what adults said, but as he grew up, he realized that there was no such thing as ghosts or gods in the world.
