Zhao Hongbin really didn't dare to go because he didn't have that kind of luck.
It would give you more courage if you go with someone.
"How about you come with me after lunch?"
"Okay, I heard that a tomb was dug out when the reservoir was built. Is that true?"
"Have you forgotten? When we were little, we went to see it specifically. It was indeed a tomb. We even picked up two silver bracelets, but we were so busy playing with them that we didn't know where we threw them."
"Okay, go home for dinner and then go to the reservoir this afternoon."
Zhao Hongbin said happily: "You are worthy of being my brother. I will definitely have fish to eat tonight."
——
On the way to the reservoir.
"Ming Qing, do you think there's anyone here?"
"Then there must be someone there. Winter is a great time to fish."
“There’s no one that’s so stubborn.”
"In the middle of winter, there are no wild vegetables to be found. Why should we care about these things? As long as we have enough food to eat, that's all we need."
We arrived at the reservoir half an hour later.
There is indeed someone.
They were all busy chiseling ice, almost all of them were adults, and there were also three or four children here.
Li Mingqing said, "Look, there are people here."
"Look at the way we came here, there were so many people on the river that they could have eaten dumplings. And then look at the few people here, it turns out there are still taboos."
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm going to take a walk on the ice."
Zhao Hongbin quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't walk around. What if—"
"Don't be such a pessimist. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just taking a stroll around the reservoir."
He came here in the cold wind, and it would be a shame if I didn’t find some antiques for him.
After all, digging a reservoir can reveal tombs.
However, in such a remote place, we can't expect to find the tombs of princes and nobles, at least those of old landlords.
So he walked around the ice.
It’s very good, very safe, there’s nothing, I can go home.
Zhao Hongbin was hammering away at the ice hole.
Then he sat there waiting for the willing fish to jump out of the reservoir.
Seeing this, Li Mingqing said, "Your character is not good. I am sure a lot of big fish will come to me while I am sitting here."
After he said that, he dropped two drops of spiritual spring water without anyone noticing.
In less than five minutes, the big fish jumped out happily from the ice hole.
"Oh my god, brother, you're awesome! I'll have to take you with me when I go fishing next time."
"Stop talking nonsense and catch them quickly. Someone is freezing to death."
A minute later, both of them caught five or six big fish.
Everyone around was stunned. They had never seen such a scene before.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, thinking they were dreaming.
Li Mingqing shouted, "Master, little brat, come and catch it quickly, or it will be gone soon."
When the people around heard this, they rushed over impatiently.
Finally I can have a good hot meal.
Zhao Hongbing happily strung the fish on branches.
"Tell me, who are you? You're really scary. You're really lucky. Let's come back in a couple of days."
"How can you always be so lucky? Don't bother with it."
"Look, this is how modest you are. Look at this fat fish. Without you, I can't catch it."
"Are you sure there's been a tomb excavated here?"
"That was necessary. All the villagers came to see it. There wasn't much inside, just a few plates and porcelain, and the bomb destroyed everything."
Hearing this, Li Mingqing didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wasn't this bombing a bit too hasty? We didn't get anything from this trip. But it's understandable that the City God Temples in each village were almost demolished.
Fortunately, there are still a few fish.
The two men carried six fish and headed towards the village.
Fortunately, it was dark and there was no one on the street.
"Don't talk so nonsense when you go back."
"Okay, I'm very tight-lipped."
Li Mingqing carried the six fish directly to the old house.
Li Xiangnan shouted, "Wow, what a big fish!"
His shout attracted the attention of everyone around Old Li's family, who all came out of the house.
"Uncle, where did you get this?"
"It's the reservoir next door, I was just lucky."
Old Man Li and Old Lady Li quickly rolled up their sleeves, took the fish and started processing it.
"It's so cold, go back to the house and warm up."
"Mom, I'm going home first."
"Go back, I'll take it there later."
"Don't send it to me, just keep it at home and eat it. I'll just take one home."
"That won't do. How can you leave it here in the middle of winter? You should hurry back, or Lingxue will be anxious waiting at home."
Sun Jiaxue was putting on her cotton coat when Li Mingqing returned home.
She was going out to look for someone with a flashlight in her hand.
"Wife, I'm back."
"You're finally back! I was so scared I was just about to go look for you."
She came over and walked around him, feeling relieved when she saw that he was not hurt.
"I'll change my clothes first. I smell like fish all over. I went to the reservoir in the next village and caught six fish. I've brought the fish to the old house. Mom will bring them over later."
"Brother Mingqing, go inside and warm yourself up first. I'll go check on her."
When Sun Jiaxue arrived at the old house, she saw Old Lady Li and Zhang Lihua scraping fish scales.
"Jiaxue, look at this big fish, it's even bigger than the one we bought."
"It's still six, so I can keep it until the New Year."
"Sister-in-law, let me lend a hand."
"Don't interfere, we'll be done soon. Ming Qing is amazing. He caught so many fish in the middle of winter. No one would believe it if they told you about it."
Xiangxi came over and asked, "Grandma, can I have fish soup tonight?"
"Sure, I have some fresh tofu, perfect for making fish soup."
It was completely dark after we finished catching the six fish.
