Li Shimin

Several times, Li Chengqian watched fat and big fish swimming past his fishing net, but every time he swung the fishing net, these fish could run away.

After coming down several times, a thick layer of anger accumulated in Li Chengqian's heart.

Since childhood, who dared to tease him like this?

Fortunately, this was the first time Li Chengqian did it himself, fishing by the river, and it was the freshest and most patient time.

Gritting his teeth hard, he stared carefully at the fish in the river.

It's just that fishing is a hundred times more difficult than reading and copying books. No matter what method Li Chengqian uses or from which angle he fishes, he can't catch fish.

After half an hour, the whole person was exhausted, relying on one breath to hold on.

"Master, His Royal Highness?"

At this time, Li Kun walked over with a fish basket in his hand.

Seeing Li Chengqian's actions, he was obviously surprised.

"His Royal Highness is fishing for fish?"

"Exactly!"

In the Lijiazhuang Village School, Li Kun and Li Chengqian were about the same age, and because of borrowing books, the two had the closest relationship.

Therefore, Li Chengqian has no embarrassment towards Li Kun.

After coming to Lijiazhuang so many times, Li Chengqian has asked Li Kun about many things that people in the countryside know.

"Li Dalang, my wife and I are here to catch fish, but the fish in this river are too thieves, they will run away after stealing worms, and never bite the hook once. But when you use a fishing net, you can clearly see that the fish has entered the fishing net, but As soon as I picked up the net, I found that the fish had already escaped!"

"Forehead!"

Hearing Li Chengqian's complaint, Li Kun looked at Li Xuan on the big bluestone with a strange expression, and then at Li Chengqian.

He opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

"Li Dalang, how do you usually catch fish?"

Li Chengqian didn't find the problem, but continued to ask.

"His Royal Highness, I usually use water cages to catch fish!"

Li Kun quickly replied.

"Water cage?"

Li Chengqian was startled, and then his face was full of curiosity.

"What is a water cage?"

"Your Highness, the water cage is a kind of cage made of bamboo strips, which is usually placed in the river for fishing!"

Li Kun took Li Chengqian along the river and walked down a few steps.

"Your Highness, please come with me. I will show His Highness to have a look."

As he spoke, Li Kun lay down on the rocks on the bank, put his hand into the water, and skillfully took out a cylindrical basket made of bamboo from the water. The difference was that the gaps between the bamboo strips of this basket were relatively large, and There is a cover.

Then, Li Kun opened the lid of the basket in his hand and took a look inside. There were only two small fish that were as long as fingers.

Li Kun didn't show any disappointment, but took out a handful of small bugs from his pocket, but they were all dead, and stuffed them into a small dark cabinet in the bamboo basket.

Afterwards, proceed to lower the bamboo baskets into the river.

Then he raised his head and introduced to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, this is the water cage. The master taught us to weave it. It is much easier to use than the cage we used before.

On weekdays, each of our families will weave some of these water cages, put them on the bank of the river, and put some bait in them. Often, if big fish get in, they will be trapped and unable to get out.Then, when we come the next day, we can just take the fish out and take it home! "

"Li Dalang, do you usually fish like this?"

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded.

"Exactly!"

Li Kun nodded and replied. While speaking, he lay down on a rock again and reached out to touch the water.

Soon, they came up again carrying a water cage.

"It's just that this way of catching fish often depends on luck."

"Often, it takes several days to catch one!"

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Li Kun's face brightened, "Today, I'm lucky, I should be a big fish!"

talking.

Li Kun stretched his hand in, and when he came out, he had already caught a crucian carp weighing about three catties!

"It's so simple!"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and his face was full of joy.

"Exactly, so usually, we don't use fishing rods and nets to catch fish!"

With the harvest, Li Kun was in a good mood, and walked towards the next cage place.

Behind him, Li Chengqian, who was following Li Kun, paused when he thought of something.

Immediately, he quickened his pace and ran towards Li Kun.

"Li Dalang, what does the master usually use to catch fish?"

"Master!"

Li Kun was stunned, and said with a strange expression: "Before, my little master often used fishing rods and nets to catch fish. However, after a long time, my master has gradually changed to a water cage!"

"Now the master is using a cage to catch fish?"

Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!"

As if he didn't see Li Chengqian's expression, Li Kun continued: "However, Master's water cage is placed around the big bluestone under him!"

"The water flow is gentle there, the aquatic plants are abundant, and it is the place where the most fish gather. Therefore, the people in our village gave that piece to the little master!"

"Then why did Master let me go fishing?"

Li Chengqian frowned tightly, puzzled.

"I don't know about this!"

Li Kun replied casually, then climbed down to lift a water cage.

You can't tell Li Chengqian, it's because the little master has never caught fish before, and the reason why he didn't catch any fish?

After all, the master's face, as a disciple, still needs to be maintained.

Next, I touched another water cage, but no fish came out.

However, Li Kun was already very satisfied to be able to find a fish, which weighed more than three catties.

Tonight, we can eat fish again at home.

With Li Chengqian who was thinking hard, he walked back.

Although going down the river, there are still many water cages.

However, those were all laid by others, even if there was no harvest, Li Kun would not touch other people's cages.

"Master, I will leave first."

Passing Daqingshi, Li Kun saluted Li Xuan and left.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian looked to the side.

Without giving Li Chengqian a chance to speak, he asked directly, "Do you still want to continue catching fish?"

……

Chapter 54 Open a library?

"No!"

Li Chengqian at this age is quite obedient.

Therefore, as soon as Li Xuan asked a question, Li Chengqian immediately replied.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, stood up this time, and said, "In that case, then touch the water cage!"

Afterwards, under Li Chengqian's stunned expression, Li Xuan directly stretched out his hand, groped under the big bluestone for a long time, and found a wooden stick as thick as an arm.

Then, give it a gentle lift.

A clatter.

The whole river shook.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian saw a string of water cages, about eight or nine, tied under the thick wooden stick.

"Come on, one person on one side, go home after touching the water cage!"

Li Xuan greeted.

"Yes, Master!"

After all, he was still a child. Hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately smiled and brows opened. He forgot all the annoying things he had just thought about, and quickly ran to the other end of the wooden stick, imitating Li Kun's movements and touching.

"First open the lid and take a look inside. Be careful if there are snakes or other things in it? Then, check to see if there are any fish!"

Li Xuan stood aside and said, "If it's a big fish, take it out and take it home to eat. If it's a small fish, just leave it and use it as bait!"

"Yes!"

Hearing that there would be snakes, Li Chengqian's face tightened, and the hand that had just been stretched in suddenly retracted. He opened the lid and looked inside carefully before he dared to stretch out his hand.

In fact, snakes rarely get into these water cages.

And, even if it was a coincidence, the snake got into it, after such a long time, it might come out again.

Li Kun knew about this kind of thing, so he dared to fish so recklessly.

However, Li Chengqian's identity is too sensitive, Li Xuan dare not bet even with a one in ten thousand chance.

Although his own identity seems to be a bit special, Li Xuan is still very cautious when he is able to be cautious.

"Master, there are fish!"

Suddenly, when he touched the third cage, Li Chengqian shouted in surprise.

"Take it out!"

Li Xuan took a look and said.

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian responded, then stretched out his hand with joy on his face, and touched it in.

It's just that he, who has never caught a live fish before, caught that fish many times before he caught it.

"Ok?"

Seeing the fish, Li Xuan was startled.

A little luck, carp!

Moreover, it is still very fat, weighing at least five catties.

This is a pure wild carp. Since the Juhe River is not far from the Yellow River, the taste of the carp in this river is not inferior to that of the Yellow River carp of later generations.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Finding that Li Xuan's expression was wrong, Li Chengqian asked quickly.

Li Chengqian, who has lived in the palace for a long time, sees the most fish in the garden every day and the fish in the bowl.

Therefore, I didn't recognize what kind of fish the fish in my hand was.
