Yun Qiao and the others went to the river, which was outside the base.
The base is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, with only one bridge connecting it to the outside world.
The small river is not far from the family compound, and it only takes 15 minutes to get there by car.
Sunday was a holiday, and many officers were on leave at home. After being stuck at home all day on a rainy day, they all came out to breathe some fresh air as soon as the rain stopped.
I don’t know who leaked the news that there were fish in the river, but people came to the river, all of them were acquaintances from the family compound. Some came empty-handed, while others were fully equipped with fishing nets, fishing rods, and buckets.
Qin Zheng greeted everyone along the way and quickly found Yun Qiao and the others.
He Tingjun was quite reliable. He brought a small stool with him. The water was turbulent, so he fished by himself and didn't let Yun Qiao get close. He placed the small stool far away on the shore and Yun Qiao sat on it to watch him catch fish.
Qin Zheng went towards Yun Qiaoqian.
Yun Qiao noticed him immediately: "Brother, you're here."
Qin Zheng nodded, picked up the fishing net beside him, and took over He Tingjun's job of fishing.
The long poles of the fishing nets made them more effective than cast nets, and because it had just rained, the water was lacking oxygen, so many fish floated to the surface, making them even more effective than usual.
However, there were too many people fishing in the river. Qin Zheng saw a few fish from a distance, but before the fish could float to him, they were intercepted by the people on the river. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he finally caught one when he saw the right opportunity.
This one was much smaller than the one they had eaten at noon, but it was still more than 30 centimeters long.
And what you gain always makes you happy.
"Caught him!" Qin Zheng said.
The people around him cast envious glances at him. Qi Bin, who was not far away, came over and praised him, "Captain Qin, you are very skilled."
Qin Zheng poured the fish into the bucket and laughed, "Lucky, lucky."
"Luck is also a kind of strength." Qi Bin had no tools and relied on his bare hands. He came for more than an hour and didn't touch a single fish scale.
It's different now than in the morning when there was no one around. At that time, no one was fighting or scrambling, and Captain Shao from Gao Qian's family could catch a bunch of big fish with just a long stick.
But there are so many people here, fighting and grabbing. If you don't have the tools, you will be caught by those with tools before you can even start. If you are unarmed, you will not get a chance to do anything.
Qi Bin said, "Can you please call me when you're done fishing? I'll use your fishing net."
"Okay, no problem." Qin Zheng agreed.
As they were talking, there was a sudden burst of quarreling and noisy sounds coming from the front. The voices were sharp and thin, mixed with the crying of children.
"What happened?" Yun Qiao stood up from the small stool.
Qi Bin said, "Go and take a look and you'll know."
He Tingjun and Qin Zheng looked at each other.
"Yun Qiao, don't go. If you keep arguing, you might get hurt." Qin Zheng said, "Tingjun, you protect Yun Qiao. Captain Qi and I will go over and take a look."
He Tingjun nodded: "Tu, you guys go."
Qin Zheng and Qi Bin went to the direction where the quarrel came from. The place quickly formed a circle with people arguing, trying to stop the quarrel, and watching. It was very lively.
Yun Qiao waited for a while, and Qin Zheng came back by himself.
"What's going on?"
"It's a small matter. Two half-grown kids quarreled over a fish." Qin Zheng said, "One of the parents was not at home, but that kid was so brave that he dared to hit the other person in front of the parents. He was very..." bold.
Before Qin Zheng finished his last word, he heard a sharp sound coming from not far away.
“Help!”
"Someone fell into the water!"
Qin Zheng was startled and ran towards the direction where the sound came from. He saw that one of the two boys who had just quarreled had fallen into the river. He was swept away by the rushing water and was struggling in the water.
The boy's father had already jumped into the river, and two officers from the crowd also jumped in. The child's mother was crying anxiously on the shore. One more person meant more strength. Qin Zheng didn't have time to think about it. He took off his shoes and jumped into the river, struggling to get to the child.
The water was flowing fast, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to reach the child, grab his arms, and lift him out of the water. People on the shore also helped, and long sticks, fishing rods, and nets were all stretched out to them.
Everyone first sent the child ashore, and then Qin Zheng grabbed a stick and was pulled ashore one after another by people on the shore together with other people who went into the water to rescue people.
Qin Zheng was soaked, and water was flowing down his clothes like a faucet.
He went ashore barefoot, took off his coat, wrung out the water as much as possible, put it back on, and then went to the diving place to look for his shoes.
"Brother, how are you? Are you okay?" Yun Qiao found him and said with concern, "Go home and change your clothes quickly. You're all wet. Don't catch a cold."
Qin Zheng waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.
His eyes passed through the crowd and fell on the boy who had just been rescued ashore.
The boy choked on the water and was frightened by the feeling of being on the verge of death, so he started crying. He was held in his mother's arms and kept shaking.
The boy's father looked around and said angrily, "Where's that little bastard named Lu?"
"Children quarreling and fighting are nothing serious, but pushing someone into the water over a disagreement is killing them!"
"He's been so vicious since he was little, what will happen in the future?!!"
"I must kill him! I'll rid the people of this evil!"
The boy's father said this as he pulled out the belt from his waistband.
Her son almost drowned in front of her. No mother could swallow this!
The boy was out of danger, and her mother finally realized what was happening and wanted to find the culprit. Only then did she realize that the boy surnamed Lu had already run away.
At this time, a middle-aged woman spoke up and confirmed her guess.
"That naughty kid Lu ran away a long time ago. He took advantage of the fact that you were in the water rescuing people and no one was paying attention to him. As he ran away, he also stole the biggest fish in your bucket."
"Fuck!" The boy's father was so angry that he wanted to curse: "I'm going to his house to find him!"
"This little bastard is so lawless! I don't believe no one will stop him!"
The boy's father put away his belt, asked someone to send his wife and children to the hospital for examination, and then he gathered a group of people to find the culprit.
As the parties involved came to an end, the crowd gradually dispersed.
After the incident of falling into the water, Yun Qiao and the others didn't want to go fishing anymore, and Qin Zheng also wanted to go home to change clothes, so they went back together.
He Tingjun just heard the name 'Lu Qi' and it sounded familiar. He felt like he had heard it somewhere before, so he asked Yun Qiao about it.
Yun Qiao said, "That naughty kid Lu Chen, his mother Liu Tingnu, had a fight with Liang Yin a few days ago for spreading rumors, and he's still attending a Women's Federation study class."
As soon as Yun Qiao said this, He Tingjun remembered.
This Lu Qi also scolded Yuan Yuan.
Yun Qiao hummed, "Neither mother nor son are good. It's a typical example of a crooked top beam leading to crooked bottom beams."
