"Crash!" The big fish was finally dragged out of the water, and its huge tail hit the water surface, making a lot of noise.

"Brother, brother, the fish is so big."

Xiaohua looked at the big fish that had just been dragged out of the water on the bank of the river, and exclaimed loudly. It could even fit an egg into its small mouth.

"Little sister, please step back first."

Zhong Wen looked at the big fish in front of him and could only describe it as big. In terms of the length and size of the fish, it was already considered a big fish.

The big fish can be nearly a meter long at least, and weighs dozens of kilograms. No wonder he still has so much strength after slipping away for nearly an hour.

If the hemp rope hadn't been specially baked today, otherwise, the fishing line wouldn't have been able to hold up for so long. Even the barbs hadn't fallen off, and the bamboo pole in his hand hadn't even been broken. Zhong Wen secretly praised it.

The fish was too heavy to be dragged directly to the shore. Zhong Wen went down to the small river. Fortunately, the water on the shore was not deep, otherwise he would not have taken such a risk to go down to the river bank. With his small body of ten years old, he really wanted to

If you fall, it's hard to say whether you can swim back.

"Little sister, pull the fishing rod back, use some strength, and I will pick up the big fish."

In order to prevent the big fish from running away, Zhong Wen didn't care whether Xiaohua was strong enough to hold the big fish, and directly handed the fishing rod to Xiaohua and asked her to move back.

"Okay, brother."

Xiaohua took the fishing pole from her brother and stepped back excitedly. When Zhong Wen took advantage of the fishing rope to straighten, he picked up the big fish and pushed it to the small river bank.

The brother and sister spent a lot of effort to get this big fish to the shore. Zhong Wen was already soaked through, while Xiao Hua was tired and sat down not far away to rest.

Because the strength of the big fish has long been exhausted, and it is injured by the barbs in its body, it is futile to try to struggle, not to mention that it is almost running out of blood.

"Brother, this fish is so big, how can we get it back?"

After Xiaohua rested, she looked at the big fish in front of her, and then at the two of her. With their small bodies, it was impossible for the brother and sister to get this big fish home.

"Little sister, go to the field and call Dad to come over. We are too weak. This big fish weighs at least fifty or sixty pounds. We can't get it back."

Zhong Wen sat on the ground and looked at the big fish in front of him. He was full of heart but not strong enough. He could only call Xiao Hua to notify his father to come and help.

After hearing this, Xiaohua got up and walked quickly towards the farmland where Zhong Mugen worked.

"Daddy, daddy, we caught a big fish. The fish is too big. My brother and I can't carry it back. Dad, please go and take a look."

Xiaohua came to the edge of the farmland and shouted to Zhong Mugen loudly.

Zhong Mugen, who was hunched over and working, stood up immediately after hearing his daughter's cry.

"How big of a fish is it? Can't you brother and sister carry it back? Then I'm going to have a look."

Zhong Mugen was also a little confused, how big could a fish be? Normally, the fish Xiaowen caught would only weigh a few kilograms at most, but today, even his own children couldn't get them back. Is it really true?

Is it big?

After walking up to the edge of the field, I washed myself casually in the ditch, and then followed Xiao Hua towards the direction of Zhong Wen.

When Zhong Mugen and others came to the bank of the river, their eyes bulged when they saw the big fish in front of them.

"Xiao Wen, is this the big fish you caught? Is it too big? Are you injured? Did you go into the water? Why are you so wet?"

Zhong Mugen looked at Da Yu, then at his son, and found that Zhong Wen was completely soaked, so he asked with concern.

"Dad, this fish is too big. I have to pick it up from the shore. Otherwise, the hemp rope won't be able to be pulled up, and it will break easily. Otherwise, the big fish will run away."

Zhong Wen answered selectively, but he did not dare to say that he went down to the river, otherwise, his father would blame him.

"That's good, but you can't go into the water. You have to go back and change clothes quickly, otherwise you'll catch a cold and it won't be good."

Zhong Mugen picked up the big fish, Zhong Wen picked up the basket, Xiao Hua took the fishing rod and small wooden hoe, and the family of three walked home.

After returning home, Zhong Wen quickly went to the house, took out a piece of clothing and pants and changed them.

In fact, Zhong Wenwen only had these two sets of summer clothes, with so many patches that he couldn't even count them. They were remade from clothes his father had worn before.

"Xiao Wen, Xiao Hua, please stay at home. I'll go back to work first. When your mother comes back, let her take care of this big fish."

Zhong Mugen didn't want to take on too much farm work, so after a casual exchange of words, he trotted off to work in the fields. Although Big Fish could give him some surprises, the crops were the top priority.

The two brothers and sisters, who were bored at home, wanted to find something to do. It seemed that there was nothing to do at home, so they could only carry a basket and a kitchen knife and go to the ditch not far below the house to collect the small fish in the basket.

"Brother, let's eat fish tonight."

Xiaohua looked at the small fish in the basket, and then thought about the big fish at home. It would be best if all fish were eaten for dinner tonight.

"Okay, I'll wait for grandma to come back later, and let grandma cook fish for today."

Zhong Wen responded to Xiao Hua while handling the small fish in his hand. Of course, Zhong Wen was also thinking about having a big meal.

When Xiu returned home, he saw that no one was home, and wondered if his little boy had gone to collect firewood. Then he entered the kitchen and saw the big fish in the kitchen.

The moment Xiu saw the big fish, he was surprised at first, and then became frightened.

She raised her legs and trotted towards the river. She was afraid that something would happen to her two little kids by the river. If something happened to her, she, as a mother, wouldn't know what to do.

alright.

"Aniang, Aniang." When Xiu trotted past the small ditch, she heard Xiaohua's call and quickly turned her head to look at the small ditch. Her children were tidying up beside the small ditch in bewilderment.

Some small fish.

Xiu Ti felt relieved. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do.

Zhong Wen's home is on a high ground, and the small ditch is just below the open space. A path leads to the rice fields and the direction of the river. There is a trail behind the kitchen that goes down to the small ditch. There is a small ditch away from the open space.

It is nearly two meters high, so when you need to fetch water, you need to go down to the small ditch.

Of course, there is a small pool next to the ditch, which is one meter in diameter and not deep, less than one meter. The water used at home is usually obtained here.

"You scared me to death. I thought something happened to you by the river. By the way, did you catch that big fish in the kitchen? Why are you so brave? Such a big fish

, if you are dragged down into the river, you will lose your life, and you can’t do this again.”

Xiu walked closer to the small pool. Although she sounded reproachful, it sounded like love.

"Mom, my brother caught the big fish. I went to call my dad and brought it back."

Xiaohua hurriedly explained. Although she knew that her mother would not scold them, Xiaohua's temper was like this. She had to talk about everything.

Afterwards, Xiu returned home, used a big basket to bring the big fish to the small pond, and began to handle it, not forgetting to tell the Zhong Wen brothers to be careful and careful again.

For dinner, Xiu listened to her daughter's request and made a large plate of fish. Most of the other fish were hung up to make dried fish. Because there was not too much salt, they could only be made into dried fish.

"Mom, this fish is delicious."

Xiaohua ate large pieces of fish. Since there was not much oil available at home, she basically roasted them and cooked them for a while before eating them.

As far as the taste is concerned, Zhong Wen would have definitely rejected it in his previous life, but at this time, it tasted very delicious. Maybe it was because he was very hungry, or maybe his body had long been accustomed to this taste.

When night falls, he has to go back to the house to sleep. This is also the most uncomfortable night for Zhong Wen.

Just like a pig, you have to go to sleep when you are full. There is no so-called nightlife.

But in this era, there is no nightlife to speak of. If you can fill your stomach, then it is considered a good life.

Zhong Mugen and his wife were sitting in a corner of the house, rubbing silk and hemp. A torch was lit not far away, illuminating the originally dark house.

The couple were busy talking to each other in a low voice while busy with their work. On the other side, lying on the thatched mat on the ground, were two brothers and a sister.

In the early morning of the next day, the brother and sister were woken up by Xiu. Zhong Wen was a little confused. He didn't know why his mother woke them up so early in the morning.

"Aunt Ahua will go to the temple to pray for you later, and you two will go too."

Xiu looked at her silly and adorable son and daughter who had just woken up, and explained casually.

Only then did Zhong Wen remember what happened in the past. Whenever someone in the village unfortunately passed away, he had to go to the temple to pray. This was already a custom in the village.

As for the death of the elderly, only their family members will go to pray. Others in the village do not need to go. This is only done for those who unfortunately passed away.

Not long after, people from the village, old and young, big and small, all headed towards Longquan Temple. A large procession of nearly two hundred people poured onto the path leading to the view road, filling the path.

The gate of Longquan Temple has long been opened, and all the Taoists in the temple have been waiting aside, chanting some Taoist sayings, and welcome the villagers into the temple.

Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the square in the temple, and then several Taoists in the temple took the lead and led everyone to the main hall.

After all the villagers entered the main hall, the Taoists began to burn incense and pray for blessings, while chanting words.

"We worship the Sanqing Dynasty and pray for blessings. The deceased has passed away, transcendence and delusion, deep sorrow, pain in the heart, the beginning of bliss, the punishment of reincarnation. The founder of the Sanqing Dynasty is above, and I ask for blessings to the people..."

A group of people held incense, knelt down on the cattails, and worshiped the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty in the hall.

Zhong Wen, who was kneeling in the crowd, was very interesting. Although he didn't hear what the Taoist said clearly, but for Zhong Wen, he rarely visited the main hall here, except for praying.

They are not allowed in at other times.

Zhong Wen raised his head and looked around the hall.

In the center of the main hall, there are stone statues of the three sages. In front of the statues is a desk with an incense burner and some other things placed on the desk.

On the left and right sides of the main hall, there are several smaller stone statues, all belonging to Taoist immortals. Although Zhong Wen did not recognize any of them, he also knew that besides Taoist immortals, how could other immortals appear here.
