Chapter 379 Strange Man
The clear mountain stream flows from deep within the mountain forests, gathering water from springs large and small along the way. Even on a scorching summer day, it's icy cold. It's in this water that the wild fish are particularly delicious and tender.
The two men carried buckets, fishing rods and nets and visited several ponds.
Liang Minglang was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he always caught something every time he cast the net. Most of them were various fish the size of two fingers, as well as many small black-shelled shrimps, which made Xu Zhichun surprised and praised him endlessly.
Much better than her.
She, Chunfen, Nanny Qin and two maids went into the forest in a grand manner, and it took them a long time to get Liao Liao.
Xu Zhichun couldn't help much, he just had to happily watch the harvest in the bucket.
In the pond with countless large and small culverts formed by rugged rocks, Liang Minglang used a fishing rod instead. Only then did Xu Zhichun realize that the clear water pond that seemed to have nothing in it actually had so many fish hidden in the cracks of the rocks.
Cold-water catfish is particularly common. This fish naturally does not grow very big, but Xu Zhichun has eaten it and found it to be particularly tender and delicious.
Liang Minglang always caught the right fish. These cold-water catfish took the bait one after another, like a queue.
Xu Zhichun was overjoyed, feeling that he had made it big. He couldn't even pick up enough fish.
Seeing Liang Minglang so easily taking the bait made her even more tempted. She looked over and said, "I want to try it too."
Liang Minglang smiled and handed her the fishing rod: "Try it."
Xu Zhichun happily took the fishing rod and followed suit, throwing the hook next to the crevice. He stared at it nervously without blinking, fearing that the cold-water catfish in the crevice would give him no respect and treat him differently.
I didn't expect that even if the person changed, the cold water catfish would still be as stupid as ever and bite the bait as soon as they saw it.
Xu Zhichun flicked his wrist upwards and pulled up, pulling the fishing rod back with the lively cold-water catfish. The catch made him smile, "That was so easy!"
Seeing her swaying on the rock, Liang Minglang reached out and put his arm around her shoulders to support her, smiling and nodding, "Maybe there's a lot of fish since no one comes here on weekdays."
The fishing line was reeled in, Liang Minglang lightly grabbed the fish and threw it into the bucket. Xu Zhichun swung the fishing rod again and continued to catch the sucker. "Chunfen, Nanny Qin Qing and I will also come, but we didn't expect there would be fish in the cracks of the rocks."
"I'll accompany you from now on."
"Okay! Can we go for a walk in the mountains some other time?"
Following him, she became bolder and didn't have to worry about anything.
Liang Minglang smiled and said, "Of course."
There are too many suckers and not enough bait.
He caught more than 10 to 20 fish in one breath. The mountain breeze blew over Xu Zhichun and he shivered. He looked up and found that the shadow of half of the mountain wall was cast down. He could see the bright sky as before, but the sunlight no longer shone on his body.
Liang Minglang smiled and said, "Let's go back and come back tomorrow."
"good."
Xu Zhichun agreed with a smile, and walked forward, preparing to put away her fishing rod. The stones by the water were slippery, and she was trying to do three things at once and almost slipped in the water. Liang Minglang's arm was firmly on her waist.
"ah!"
"careful."
Xu Zhichun smiled at him, her heart still pounding. Then she realized, belatedly, that he had been supporting her, right? That was why he was able to protect her in time.
Xu Zhichun's face gradually became hot, and she bit her lip lightly. Minglang should also like her a little, right?
Not sure yet, let's see
Cold-water catfish and small fish were pan-fried until lightly golden on both sides, then simmered in mountain spring water with green Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, tender tofu, and a handful of fresh morels. As the pot simmered and bubbled, a fresh aroma filled the kitchen.
Prepare the bright red chili oil and add it when serving to ensure the spicy aroma.
This pot of stewed mixed fish still has the same delicious and spicy taste as before, which makes people enjoy it with relish.
The servant girl on the farm smiled and flattered him earnestly, "Madam's cooking skills are truly amazing. Just by smelling and looking at this, I know it must be incredibly delicious. I've tried to make it myself, but nothing looks or smells as good as yours. Master is truly blessed!"
Liang Minglang agreed with this and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, madam."
Xu Zhichun raised his eyes and gave him a glare.
The maid immediately smiled and sighed, with a hint of envy in her sigh: "Madam is so lucky. The master treats her so well."
The two of them looked up at each other at the same time. When their eyes met, Xu Zhichun seemed to see a smile in the man's eyes, like a soft feather passing across the tip of his heart, making him feel tingling.
Liang Minglang: "It's my duty to be kind to my wife."
Xu Zhichun coughed, looked away, and his heart skipped a beat. "Eat."
It happened that the next day was market day in Qingyang County, and Xu Zhichun planned to go shopping in the city first and buy anything he needed. If he was lucky, he might be able to buy fresh mutton, lamb ribs, delicious fish from the mountains, and various delicious mountain mushrooms. Since he was already here, there was no need to rush to see the cotton fields.
Liang Minglang naturally had no objection.
Every market day in the county town is very lively, with vendors selling all kinds of local specialties and snacks. It is noisy and bustling, but it also makes people excited.
Xu Zhichun was standing in front of a stall selling various small commodities, looking around casually while waiting for Liang Minglang to buy steamed water chestnuts for him, when he suddenly heard someone calling "Zhichun!" and subconsciously turned around.
The young man looked at her, his eyes bright and his smile astonishingly wide. He was so excited that he could hardly contain himself, as if he had found some precious treasure. He couldn't help but hold Xu Zhichun's arm with both hands, "Zhichun! It's really you! It's really you!"
He still had a smile on his face, but his voice was choked. Xu Zhichun stared at him blankly, and his heart felt inexplicably sour, as if he was very sad, very sad.
She looked at him, and the memories that had been dormant deep in her mind were stirred up. The young man in front of her should obviously be someone she was very familiar with, but because of the mist, she just couldn't call out his name.
"Let her go!"
Liang Minglang bought some steamed water chestnuts and turned around to see this scene. He was so angry that he took a few steps forward and pushed the young man away.
"What are you doing?"
The two men glared at each other at the same time.
Liang Minglang stood beside Xu Zhichun with a very close attitude, sneering, "Who are you? What are you doing to my wife?"
"Your wife? That's impossible!"
"What's impossible?"
"Zhichun, is that you?" The young man was shocked. His face turned pale and he looked at Xu Zhichun in agony. "Zhichun, don't you want to recognize me? I am Yingxuan, I am Yingxuan!"
"Ying Xuan."
Xu Zhichun felt that this name was very familiar, as if she had read it countless times. She should know him, but why couldn't she remember it?
She felt dizzy and raised her hand to support her forehead as her body swayed.
"Zhichun!"
The two men reached out to help her at the same time.
Without hesitation, he tried to push the other person away.
