Chapter 118 Go Fishing
The days on vacation were more fulfilling than the days in class. Qiu Huoming was woken up by the alarm clock early in the morning on the 17th. He washed up in a hurry, changed his clothes, and pushed the cart out.
Chen Suniang, who was in the inner room, heard the noise and asked, "Should I leave some food for you at noon?"
"No need to save any food for me. I'll be back after lunch."
"Then you better be careful and don't go into the water."
"Don't worry." He closed the door.
Qiu Huoming pushed the bike past the alley, got on the bike and rode towards Gu Xiaoran's house.
The streets were very quiet at 4 a.m., the street lights were shining coldly, there were stray dogs fighting over garbage on the streets, most of the roads were still dark, and occasionally there was the sound of a cart being pushed, which was an early manure collection truck.
The vegetable market is also the first place to light up. Qiu Huoming drove from Dongmen Street towards the county government. It was rare for him to go out so early.
When we arrived at the gate of Gu Xiaoran's compound, a faint light could be seen through the crack in the door.
Qiu Huoming knocked on the door.
The door opened in a moment.
A tall girl wearing a long coat and long pants, a baseball cap and carrying a backpack came out.
"Oh wow, your equipment is nice." Qiu Huoming looked at her. Gu Xiaoran's dress was so different from that of the girls in the small town that for a moment he thought he had returned to the afterlife.
"Sunscreen, wait a minute, I'll lock the door."
There was an old brass lock hanging on the bolt of the yard gate.
Qiu Huoming sat in the car waiting for her to get in.
"Can you ride that far? How about, I'll take you for this part of the way, and then you can take me when we get to your home?" Gu Xiaoran tilted his head, looked at him and suggested.
"A man can't say no. Get in the car." As soon as Qiu Huoming finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the deep meaning behind this sentence. His old face turned slightly red. Fortunately, it was dark at the moment, and only the dim lights near the courtyard wall were on, so his face could not be illuminated.
Hearing what he said, Gu Xiaoran was not the shy person and immediately sat sideways in his car.
Qiu Huoming stepped hard and the car drove away quickly.
"I'm so sleepy." Gu Xiaoran yawned in the back seat and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No, we saw some open early on the way, so we bought some."
"It's only a little after 4 o'clock, I guess no one is open."
As she expected, none of the restaurants along the way had ready-made food. A few had turned on the lights, but they were all in the preparation stage.
When they arrived at the gate of Qiu Huoming's house, Chunsheng had already arrived.
"Hey, great writer, where's your girlfriend?" Chunsheng was still riding his Post Office 28-bar bicycle.
"Don't guess randomly. These are my classmates. There are two more of them. They will be here soon." Qiu Huoming quickly explained.
"This is Brother Chunsheng who brought us to play on the boat, and this is my classmate Gu Xiaoran..."
Just as he finished the introduction, he heard the faint sound of a bicycle on the street, accompanied by Ding Yu's shouting, "I finally caught up with you!"
The car got closer and closer, and finally stopped next to Qiu Huoming. Li Ming jumped out from the back seat.
"This fat guy saw you guys at the intersection and shouted, but you didn't hear him, so he chased you desperately. Your driving skills were so bad, you swayed from side to side... I was so scared that I broke out in a sweat."
Ding Yu said contemptuously: "Your courage is as sharp as a needle."
"Okay, we're all set now." Qiu Huoming turned to Chunsheng and said, "Brother Chunsheng, these are my other two classmates, Ding Yu and Li Ming."
Chunsheng smiled and asked, "Are all the people here?"
Ding Yu was very familiar with the person. "Brother Chunsheng, we are all here."
"Let's go once everyone is gathered. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Let's make a pot of fish soup and noodles on the boat." Chunsheng turned the front of his bicycle to the left and headed for the street. "Hey, follow us one by one."
As he rode, he fiddled with the front of the bike, and a beam of flashlight lit up. "There are no street lights in the wild, just follow my headlights."
"Okay." Qiu Huoming followed closely with Gu Xiaoran.
Ding Yu turned around and shouted, "Squad leader, get in the car quickly."
Li Ming didn't have time to complain and immediately jumped back into his back seat.
The three cars drove towards the suburbs one after another.
Just as Chunsheng said, after passing East Street, it is the urban-rural fringe, where there are very few street lights. After riding for a few minutes, there are only streets and farmland.
It was dark before dawn, and it was really dark. Chunsheng's car made a clanging sound, and the light of the flashlight flickered on the road.
Gu Xiaoran sat in the back seat of Qiu Huoming's car. All she could see was a dark scene. The wind blew her hair, making a whistling sound in her ears.
The corner of Qiu Huoming's clothes was blown by the wind and flew in front of her eyes.
It seemed as if there were only the two of them and one car left in the whole world.
Before she could get out of this state, she heard Ding Yu's voice behind her, "Student Gu, hold on tight, the road ahead is a bit bumpy..."
Li Ming yelled, "You fat guy, you didn't remind me, but reminded Gu Xiaoran instead!"
"You are a grown man, you can just fall in and fish yourself out, but you are just a delicate little girl, and you are so useless compared to her."
"Puchi" Gu Xiaoran covered his mouth and laughed.
Qiu Huoming also shouted: "Fatty, you don't have me in your heart anymore."
"Go away, Huozi, stop interfering. Hey, how long will it take to get there?" Ding Yu asked.
The beam of light in front slowly turned to the country road on the left, and Chunsheng's voice rang out, "Turn left, ride slower, the road is narrow..."
Qiu Huoming slowed down the car and turned a corner. Suddenly, he heard dogs barking not far away, and the sounds continued for a while.
There are villages on both sides, and it is no exaggeration to say that farm dogs can guard the house.
"Ignore these dogs, just ride forward, they won't chase cars." Chunsheng yelled.
This kind of country road was indeed bumpy, and Qiu Huoming tried his best to control the stability of the car.
After more than ten minutes, we arrived at the dam. The road suddenly widened a little, and the sky in the distance finally turned pale.
The road ahead was outlined.
After a while, a warm light appeared from behind the clouds. Flocks of birds flew over the dam. The river was right next to it, and fishing boats could be vaguely seen.
"Woohoo!" Ding Yu cheered.
"Woo!" Qiu Huoming stood up from the car. The wind from the river blew in his face, bringing with it a fishy smell and the cool water vapor of the early morning.
Gu Xiaoran raised the brim of his hat and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Chunsheng turned off the flashlight and said, "We'll be there in a few minutes."
The light gradually became clearer, and Chunsheng's car in the front suddenly stopped.
"We're here, come on down, we'll push the car onto the boat."
Qiu Huoming stepped on the brakes, and as soon as the car stopped, Gu Xiaoran jumped out. She rubbed her butt and said, "Let me take you home."
"Hey, okay. I was afraid you couldn't pedal." Qiu Huoming got out of the car and waited for Ding Yu.
After a while, Ding Yu came over with Li Ming pushing the cart.
Li Ming frowned, "This fat guy rides his bike on bumpy places, and it hurts my butt."
"Follow me down, the person pushing the cart, hold the brake pads... push slower." Chunsheng was already on the ramp, slowly pushing the cart towards the river.
Gu Xiaoran looked at the river in front of him. The water was shimmering and there were dense aquatic plants on both sides of the river. Water birds were flying low at high altitudes to prey on fish. Their claws skimmed across the water, creating tiny ripples.
There were more than a dozen fishing boats parked near the river bank. There were people walking around on the boats and the sound of children crying could be heard faintly.
