Chapter 139 One Punch



Chapter 139 One Punch

The net was closing in outside, and Xia Zhizhi hurried out to see what was going on.

The rope used to collect the net was wrapped around the wheel like a big winch, and the animals walked around in circles like they were turning a millstone, slowly drawing in the huge net.

As the net slowly emerged from the ice, silver fish scrambled to get out of the ice. The members kept scooping the fish with a scoop, and the fish kept twisting and jumping up and down in the net.

"Uncle San, it's stuck!" a member shouted.

Yu Baotou didn't look worried at all, and called on other members to come forward and help sort it out.

Looking at the huge fish hanging on the net, the members were not afraid of the cold. They stepped forward and pulled the net up little by little with their hands, cheering and jumping for joy, completely ignoring the severe cold.

Everyone worked together to pull the fishing net up.

The mesh size of the fishing nets used in winter fishing is three or four inches, and occasionally a few small fish will be caught. The members take out the big fish and throw the small fish back.

The children picked up the frozen fish in baskets and placed them on the side according to species, waiting for the accountant to weigh them.

The water in Jingpo Lake is deep and the fish are fat. It is rich in "lake crucian carp" with golden and red bellies. Because the mesh of the net is large enough, each one caught weighs more than three or four kilograms.

In addition, it also produces many kinds of fat fish such as carp, mandarin fish, white carp and silver carp, some of which can grow to more than 10 kilograms.

The biggest fish in the net was a bighead carp, nearly half a person's height. The children gathered around it waiting to be weighed.

Two members held up the scale. The accountant waited until the scale was stable, squinted his eyes to read the star mark, and finally announced: "Nineteen pounds and six ounces!"

The people around cheered.

Xia Zhizhi held up her camera and called out to them, "Comrades, come over here, let's take a photo with this fish!"

When the members who were arranging the nets heard this, they immediately threw the nets in their hands to the ground and ran over obediently. There were dozens of people there, and everyone stood in rows according to their height.

Xia Zhizhi originally arranged for four children to hold the head of the fish, but Cheng Rong, who was the most conspicuous, insisted on joining in, so she was placed at the head of the fish.

After taking the photos, the team leader arranged for the members to tidy up the nets, repair the damaged ones on the spot, and then throw the nets down again. Ten people were left to guard the night, while the others went back to rest and transport the fish back, and come back tomorrow morning to collect the nets together.

Lin Wenxi was so drunk from the fever that the team leader decided to get a mule for her to ride, and asked Xia Zhizhi to sit at the back to help support the animals. After making arrangements for the two old, weak and disabled people, he arranged for someone to hang the basket on the animals' backs, and the remaining fish would be pulled back by the members using snow sleds.

As Xia Zhizhi entered the straw hut, she saw Jiang Xiurong walking over and trying to help Lin Wenxi up who was half lying on the straw pile.

Lin Wenxi's hand slid down Jiang Xiurong's back, landed on Jiang Xiurong's butt, and then pinched it twice.

Jiang Xiurong jumped away immediately and looked at Han Youran awkwardly: "She, she..."

Han Youran was numb: "She has a fever. I guess her brain is confused. Don't bother with her."

Knowing that Lin Wenxi's hands and feet were not honest, after everyone helped her sit on the side of the mule, Xia Zhizhi found a rope, wrapped it around her upper body twice, tied her hands tightly to her chest, and then tied them together with the mule.

Lin Wenxi's father, Secretary Lin Guorong, thought that Xia Zhizhi was afraid that she couldn't support her, so he didn't say anything more.

When they arrived at the village party secretary's house, Xia Zhizhi helped Lin Wenxi onto the kang, which Lin Guorong's wife, Aunt Wang, had already heated up.

Seeing Xia Zhizhi untying the rope for Lin Wenxi, Aunt Wang went to the outer room to get a cup to make sugar water for her.

As soon as she untied the rope, Lin Wenxi reached behind her and tried to touch her butt.

There are only two of them in the room, so can Xia Zhizhi get used to her?

She clenched her fist and punched Lin Wenxi in the face. Lin Wenxi was hit and the back of his head hit the kang with a bang. His head tilted and he completely lost consciousness.

Aunt Wang came into the room carrying an enamelware pot: "What's going on?"

While arranging the hemp rope, Xia Zhizhi said nonchalantly, "I was busy taking care of Wen Xi just now, so I didn't pay attention. It might be the sound outside."

Aunt Wang didn't care either: "Thank you for your hard work, Xia Zhiqing. Drink some water to warm yourself up."

Xia Zhizhi finished drinking a whole enamel jar of water, and Han Youran also brought some medicine from the educated youth center.

Originally, he wanted to help Lin Wenxi get up and feed her medicine, but he saw that she was sleeping soundly as if she had fainted and was completely unconscious. He could only dissolve the medicine in water and pour it into Lin Wenxi's mouth with a spoon.

After taking the medicine, the circles around Lin Wenxi's eyes, which were caused by a punch, slowly turned dark purple.

Han Youran was a little confused: "Why is it green?"

Xia Zhizhi lied with her eyes open: "It must have been caused by the collision in the ice hole. Everyone's physique is different. Some people just take longer to heal from blood clots."

Aunt Wang took out a pillow and gave it to her daughter to use as a pillow. She touched the back of her head and found a big bump.

Xia Zhizhi considerately tucked the corner of Lin Wenxi's quilt while saying: "This was also caused by the collision at the ice hole."

"It's really a pity for Xia Zhiqing." Aunt Wang rubbed her daughter's head with heartache and cursed angrily: "Those damn idiots in the Victory Brigade, wait and see how I deal with them tomorrow!"

Han Youran left two doses of medicine for Aunt Wang to check on. If the fever had subsided, there was no need to feed the baby anymore. If not, she could feed the baby once in the middle of the night and once again tomorrow morning.

After everyone returned to the educated youth site, had dinner, and cleaned up, it was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest, after all, they had to go out early the next morning.

Xia Zhizhi didn't go the next day. It was freezing cold that day. If she didn't wear enough clothes, she would feel cold outside. If she wore too much clothes, they would be too heavy and difficult to move. After seeing it, she was surprised and knew what happened, so it was no longer surprising.

In the evening, Cheng Rong came back and reported today's hot topics to her.

I caught another net early this morning. Not as much as the first one, but still okay.

After casting the nets, the village party secretary took people to the fishing spot of Shengli Brigade to settle accounts with them.

The reason why they waited until now to settle the score with them was not because Lin Guorong did not care about his daughter, nor was it because the Zhongxing Brigade was afraid of the Shengli Brigade.

But in this day and age, everything has to give way to production.

Lin Beibei, Lin Yuanyuan and Lin Junjiang, three children, also went there as witnesses.

There is nothing to argue about. No matter what the situation is, in this weather, if someone is pushed into an ice hole and then runs away, it is no different from attempted murder.

The captain of the Victory Brigade called over several educated youths who were involved in yesterday's incident with a sullen face.

The man who stayed to help yesterday was called Feng Shipu. Like the three who ran away, he was an educated youth who came to the countryside to work.

He was a relatively marginal figure in the educated youth point of Shengli Brigade. He was usually active at work and kind to others after work, making him a complete background figure.

After rescuing the people yesterday, Feng Shipu informed their captain about this matter.

The captain of the Victory Brigade has now been trained and is as steady as an old dog.

Be it secretly fishing or pushing someone into an ice hole.

No matter how outrageous the trouble these educated youth cause is.

Just think about it, they were educated youth.

The captain of the Victory Brigade thought this was natural.

Even if someone told him one day that the educated youth had killed someone, he would still be so calm. The police would take care of the murder. He should be shot when he deserves to be shot, and should be imprisoned when he deserves to be imprisoned. He should just live his life like this. Why worry so much?

Anyway, we can't drive the educated youth away. As long as he doesn't try to fight for the chance to enter the team first, he can do whatever he wants. There is nothing to be afraid of.
