There was no car to transport from Kaoshantun to Heishan Commune, so Ye Zhiqiu set off on foot after finishing his breakfast.
It took a full two hours to get there, as Kaoshantun was located on the most remote hilltop in the Black Mountain Range. These broken hills had more rocks than dirt, and relatively few plants. It was truly a place with nothing to offer.
If he wanted to go into the city, Ye Zhiqiu would first need to walk to Heishan Commune and then take a two-hour bus ride to reach the capital.
If Chen Yimin from the brewery hadn't suddenly come here to hunt, Ye Zhiqiu thought that he might have to stay in the countryside until he was forty years old.
The key is that my parents have to go to the quarry to work! That job is really tough, swinging a sledgehammer every day!
So Ye Zhiqiu, who once said that he would never be a wage earner in this life because he had space, slapped himself a few times and changed his words: only working can change your destiny!
There are ox carts and horse carts in the village, but they cannot be borrowed at all. In rural areas, these large animals are more important than human lives.
An hour later, Ye Zhiqiu picked up the kettle and took a sip of water. He was so unlucky today. Not only was there no ox cart passing by on the road, he didn't even meet a dung collecting team.
The feces at this time are good fertilizer for crops, so the areas allocated to the city by the commune will take turns to collect feces for the villages below.
Moreover, you can't just take this thing out whenever you want. It is allocated according to the streets of the commune, and then twice a month, it is collected by a certain number of villages.
Once, when he was assigned to Kaoshan Village, Ye Zhiqiu almost became a dung boy. Later, he found out that this job meant shoveling dung in the city, and he refused to go even if he was beaten to death. Or Ye Tianya couldn't go by himself.
The impact of the drought is actually quite obvious. At least the weeds that are not irrigated are all wilted.
Ye Zhiqiu brought a flashlight with him, but he just put it in the space. However, walking on the main road at night, it is okay without a flashlight.
He had no choice, because the black market only opened at night, and this black market was located in a small forest.
After nightfall, people who want to buy and sell things will gather here. A dozen thugs will maintain order and charge a ten-cent entry fee to sellers.
The boss of this black market is said to have some connections with the local police station, so no one usually comes to raid it. Anyway, this black market has been open for a few years. Ye Zhiqiu has only been there once with the villagers to sell the uninjured wolf.
It was because there were no wounds and the hide could be taken out intact that it sold for fifty yuan. Otherwise, it would only sell for thirty yuan at most. Wolves don't have much meat, and since they're hungry all day, few of them are fat.
The commune governs dozens of villages, but the villages here are too scattered. In other communes, people from the same area are gathered together to eat and farm.
For a place as far away as Kaoshantun, we can only send the village secretary and select the village head to manage it.
So after Ye Zhiqiu arrived here, he went straight to the big canteen in the commune and filled the kettle with boiling water.
You don't need to worry about lunch or dinner, you can go directly to the cafeteria to eat. There is no inspection here. With so many people, who can know which village Ye Zhiqiu is from?
After fetching water, Ye Zhiqiu went out for a stroll. The commune was actually almost becoming a small town. It was just that there were no people setting up stalls to sell things and doing business like in later generations.
So there was nothing to see at all. Ye Zhiqiu just wanted to go to the reservoir to see if he could catch some fish.
But after arriving at the reservoir, he was stunned. The reservoir on the Montenegrin side had been full of water the last time he visited, but now it had dropped by at least two meters!
There was an old man fishing here. Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes. He didn't know the price of fish himself. So he came over and asked with a smile: "Hey, uncle, you are fishing. Did you catch any fish today?"
The old man glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and replied calmly, "I'm not fishing. I'm just basking in the sun!"
Ye Zhiqiu was so angry that he laughed. This old man was so arrogant!
"That's right, you don't look like someone who can catch fish! Oh, no, there's a small whitebait. So you're a professional whitebait fisherman, huh? Awesome! I admire you!"
The old man was a little exasperated. He said with a dark face, "What are you doing here? Don't come here if you have nothing to do. Don't scare my fish away!"
"Wow! What the hell! You're so bad at catching fish that you blame me for scaring them away! Are you blaming the ground for being too firm when you can't poop?"
"Whose child are you? I won't argue with you. I'll argue with your father. How did he raise you?"
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips. This old man couldn't stand losing, so when he couldn't win an argument, he went to the parents. Ha tui!
"Uncle, whose grandfather are you? I won't bother with you, I'm going to beat up your grandson! Look at your child, what kind of person is he!"
Ye Zhiqiu's words made the old man a little choked. He simply didn't bother to pay attention to this stubborn little bastard!
Ye Zhiqiu had originally wanted to ask about the price of the fish, but the old man was furious. Why was he taking his anger out on himself when he couldn't catch any fish?
So there is really no need to save his face, the old man should be hung up and acted sarcastic!
But he didn't say anything now, and Ye Zhiqiu didn't argue with him. He simply put his thoughts into the space, got the fishing line and hook, and put them in his pocket.
He first picked up a sturdy wooden stick, found a small piece of bamboo to tie as a float, tied the fishing line to the wooden stick, and went to turn over the stones to look for earthworms. Soon he turned out one.
Hang the earthworm and throw it into the water.
The old man watched Ye Zhiqiu struggling for a long time before realizing he was trying to fish. It would be a miracle if he could catch any fish with such an unprofessional tool!
But he didn't dare to mock him. This guy had a sharp tongue, so it was better not to provoke him, lest he get a heart attack from anger.
Ye Zhiqiu never thought she could catch a fish, but she was so lucky today!
After waiting for less than ten minutes, the small bamboo stick acting as a float on the water suddenly moved! He quickly speared the fish, and a surge of power passed through his hand. He actually caught the fish!
Although there are a lot of fish in the space, the meaning of fishing by yourself is different. He excitedly walks back and forth to play with the fish.
The most dumbfounded person here was the old man who was more than ten meters away. He caught a fish with a worm on this broken stick. He had been fishing for a long time without any fish. Where could he go to complain?
After swimming for nearly ten minutes, Ye Zhiqiu felt that the fish had lost its strength, so he began to reel in the fishing line and dragged the fish to the shore.
At this time, the old man came over, took the wooden stick and said to Ye Zhiqiu, "Smelly boy, I'll hold it for you, go pick the fish yourself, if you run away, it's your own fault!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and replied, "Okay, I have to thank you, sir!"
