Chapter 164 70 Educated Youth Going to the Countryside 7

When they came back from digging for earthworms for several days, they saw the simple fishing rod made by Su Yan and asked with some concern: "Can this fishing rod catch fish?"

Su Yan patted his chest and promised, "I'm sure I can catch it. I've even prepared salt. You guys go and set up a stove. Someone can go back and get an earthenware pot. You can also pull out two green onions and a piece of ginger. I'll catch them in a while." The fish can be cooked directly.”

Lin Xi assigned tasks to them. Some went home to steal earthen pots, while others went back to pull onions. He took the other two people to break branches, which would be used for making a fire later.

Everyone has a clear division of labor, and they are all full of energy thinking that there will be fish to eat soon.

All the children ran away at once, and only Su Yan was fishing on the shore.

After waiting for a while, a fish swam towards the place where Su Yan threw the spirit stone.

In fact, there is no need to fish, you can just grab it with your hands, which is what Su Yan did.

When no one was paying attention, she caught two fish with her bare hands.

After the fish was disemboweled and cleaned, the child who went back to get the earthen pot came back, and the child who went to pull the onions and ginger also came back.

They saw Su Yan taking care of the fish, all eight front teeth showing happily.

"Go and call Xigua back to light the fire."

The two of them went to call Lin Xi with excitement on their faces.

When they came back, there were two more fish on the shore. Su Yan had already picked up the spirit stone and put it back in space before they came back.

If it continues to be thrown into the water, I am afraid that many fish will continue to gather here, which will be too eye-catching.

When they came back, Su Yan asked them to cook the prepared fish.

Add onion and ginger and wait until cooked.

Su Yan fished for a while and then stopped fishing after catching another fish.

Five children and one adult can eat five fish.

Su Yan asked them to fold some sticks to make chopsticks while she cooked the fish by the pot.

Lin Xi was very smart. He picked some gourds and split them in half to use them as bowls.

Each person was given a gourd, and when the fish was cooked, everyone couldn't wait to eat it.

Although there are no complicated seasonings, the ginger and green onion can remove the fishy smell and add the salt to make it a very delicious fish soup.

There was also a smell of firewood, and everyone ate with satisfaction.

Lin Xi also asked Su Yan when she would come fishing again. Su Yan said it depended on the situation, but she wanted them to promise not to catch fish privately, nor to go down to the river to play privately.

Su Yan told them a story about a water ghost looking for a scapegoat.

To combat feudal superstition at this time, it was naturally impossible for Su Yan to promote feudal superstition, so he could only tell it to them as a story.

"The water was obviously very shallow, but the man couldn't get up or get out of the water. It was the water ghost who was looking for a scapegoat and held his body down. I used to like swimming. Ever since my grandma told me this After the story, I didn’t dare to swim in the river.”

Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's all a lie. There won't be any ghosts now."

"I told you it was a story, but you know I fell into the water two days ago."

"I know, I know." Several responded enthusiastically.

"I fell into the river at that time. Even though I knew how to swim, I choked several times in the river and couldn't swim out of the water. If I hadn't been smart, I probably wouldn't have been able to get up."

"why?"

"I felt something pulling me down at that time, so I gave up and swam directly from the water to the shore. You see how dangerous it was."

"Isn't it a water ghost?" A child asked in horror.

The eyes of several other children were also full of fear.

Su Yan said cryptically: "I don't know either. When I swam to the shore, my hands felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. When I went back to wash my clothes, I asked Liu Zhiqing to wash them for me. You can't go into the water casually in the future, you know? I'm here with you." Okay, I just told you."

Several children nodded hurriedly, they were all scared and said they would never go down to the river to play.

Neither the children nor Su Yan noticed that Huo Zhengqing, who was not far away from them, heard clearly what Su Yan just said.

He raised the corners of his mouth and did not walk over to disturb them.
