Chapter 4; Mutation(1/2)

Seeing the river channel, Wang Zhen walked down the river channel carefully.

The river channel is very low, so the shore is very high.

Only when the water rises in summer or autumn can the water level be level with the river bank.

The water level in this place is usually the depth of the knees of children, and the horizontal plane is not wide, so naturally this place has become a good place for people to cross the river.

After getting off the river, Wang Zhen stepped on the ground and jumped to the other side of the river.

"Walk the path? Or the medina?"

Standing on the side of the road, Wang Zhen thought to himself.

A small path refers to a small path that people walk out to the ground to get to the ground. This kind of path is very common. Basically, every family is connected to the land, but no matter how the path is taken, it will eventually be connected to the main road beside the ground.

Therefore, if Wang Zhen wants to go up the river, he can follow the small road to the road and then walk from the road to the river.

In this way, you will have to take many detours, after all, those paths are winding and none of them are straight.

However, Wang Zhen also has another choice, which is to go to the wheat field.

The geographical location of Luojiawan is parallel to the river, so if you walk on the wheat field, it is equivalent to walking in a straight line. You only need to walk six or seven hundred meters to reach the river.

After thinking about it, Wang Zhen decided to leave the wheat field because at this time the wheat was not afraid of trampling, and even more because he wanted to save some trouble.

After thinking it through, Wang Zhen walked along the wheat field.

Walking in the wheat field, Wang Zhen paid attention to his feet and hoped that he would try not to step on the wheat.

At this time, because it was winter, the wheat in the wheat field is only about ten centimeters high now. Wang Zhen walked in the middle and could find one or two shepherd's purse and amaranth leaves somewhere in the wheat field from time to time.

Shepherd's purse is a cruciferous plant. It is a edible wild vegetable that people love and is spread all over the world. It has high nutritional value and is edible in a variety of ways.

It has the effects of harmonizing the spleen, promoting diuresis, stopping bleeding, and improving eyesight. It is often used to treat postpartum bleeding, dysentery, edema, enteritis, gastric ulcer, cold and fever, red, swollen and painful eyes.

In rural areas, most people use shepherd's purse to make dumplings. I remember when Wang Zhen was still young, when shepherd's purse was growing vigorously in early spring, those adults and children would gather together in the east and hold shovels and baskets in the west and dig shepherd's purse everywhere.

As for the name of Amaranth leaves in rural areas, Wang Zhen is not sure about it if it is called or scientific name in other places.

He only knew that the mother amaranth leaves are similar to radish leaves, with slightly thorns on the surface, and are also a wild vegetable that people like very much.

Seeing wild vegetables, although Wang Zhen wanted to get some food, he did not take action because his current goal was not to dig wild vegetables.

A few hundred meters away was just a blink of an eye. During this period, Wang Zhen passed by two major roads and three pieces of land.

Most rural land is based on the blocks. This block is the amount of this block and that block is the amount. There will be a connecting road on each block of land. There will be some small ditches on some places on the roadside, which are used to discharge water accumulation on the road.

When he arrived at the river, Wang Zhen saw a few hundred meters of white silk flowing through his eyes.

The origin of the river is where Wang Zhen doesn’t know, and it flows to where, and Wang Zhen doesn’t know. He just occasionally heard from the village that the river water seemed to flow to that river.

The river is very wide, about a few hundred meters long, and belongs to a sand river. It has deep and shallow places. People cannot expose their heads when they go down. The shallow places only reach their knees.

In addition, the flowing water is very fast and clear. You can see fish under the water in a clear way, and you can wash away people in a hurry.

Opposite the river, there are many beaches and grasslands.

There are also those on this side of the river, but it is on the Nanhe River.

There are also large areas of grass and beaches.

Beaches are very common, and grasslands are not patents in Mongolia.

The beach on the other side of the river is in the middle of the river, but when the river water does not rise, the river channel is here, so the other side can become a beach.

The other side of the Nanhe River is opposite to this side. The river channel flows there, so beaches and grasslands are also formed on the Nanhe River.

This is what is called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi.

The direction of the river water is uncertain, so it often causes the place where the river is located in the east of the river in the past 30 years, and the beach is formed in the west of the river. In the next 30 years, the beach may be formed in the west of the river and the beach is formed in the east of the river.

The same is true for the river water. One section stays from the east and the next section flows from the west.

What stays from the east is formed on the west, and what flows from the west is formed on the east is formed on the east.

Looking from Wang Zhen station to the other side of the river, you can clearly see a large area of ​​sand and grassland. The formation of the beach was brought by the water from the upstream, but Wang Zhen was not very clear about the formation of the grassland.

When Wang Zhen had memory, there was a long grassland in the center of the river, about dozens of acres. Because it was in the heart of the river, it caused the water to the west and the beach to the east.

When summer comes, the farmers who raise sheep and cattle in Luojiawan will drive cattle and sheep to the grasslands in Hedong to grazing on the grasslands in Hedong during the slack farm. Even people from other villages often drive cattle and sheep from their homes to Hedong.

The grassland is very large, and there are not many cattle and sheep in each village, so there is no need to worry about eating all the grass.

For convenience, most of the people who grazed would put the cattle and sheep freely there to eat grass and then go to the water to take a bath.

If you have good water quality, you may even touch some fish and shrimps and take them home to give them fishy food to your children.

In the early years, the Wang Zhen family also raised a few sheep. At that time, when it was summer vacation, it was when Wang Zhen let the sheep go.

Most of the time, Wang Zhen would drive the sheep on the grassland to eat grass with the sheep, and then catch fish and shrimps in the water.

Not to mention how powerful Wang Zhen is in catching fish, but no one can match his friends who grew up with him.

The reason is that he has learned to catch fish and is familiar with the movements of catching fish.

The male family in front of Wang Zhen’s neighbor Luo Kesong is called Lao Zhang, and Wang Zhen wants to call him cousin. There is a child at home who is two or three years older than Wang Zhen, named Zhao Le.

According to seniority, Wang Zhen wanted to call him Uncle, but Wang Zhen had never called him.

Zhao Le grew up with Wang Zhen, and with the closeness, they are playmates who have been playing since childhood.

Lao Zhang is an old fish craftsman. His family has everything from a small net bag to a large river block net, such as casting nets and fences, as long as they catch fish, they have seen them in the Lao Zhang family in Wang Zhen’s impression.

Although he was born in a family of fish craftsmen, Zhao Le did not like to catch fish like his father, so he naturally did not learn the unique skills of Lao Zhang to catch fish.

Teach unintentional, scholars intentional.

Although he taught Zhao Le, Wang Zhen, who often played together, accidentally learned Lao Zhang's unique skills in catching fish.

What are weaving nets, weaving eel cages, etc....

Wang Zhen learned all this inadvertently.

At that time, Wang Zhen could catch a pound of fish with just a net if it rained heavily. This is the difference between learning and not learning.

Therefore, every time Wang Zhen went down the river, he could take one or two kilograms of fish, shrimp and crabs home when he drove the sheep home.

This made those friends who played with Wang Zhen often envious.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhen smiled sweetly.

The river carries too many sweet childhood memories of Wang Zhen. If you really want to say it, it will take at least a few days or nights.

Due to the problem of river water flow, many places on the river bank on Wang Zhen are very high, and these are washed out by water.

Take Wang Zhen’s current station as an example. It is at least five meters high from the river, and the river bank is very steep, so it is impossible to get down from here.

But don't worry, there are high places, there are low places. After Wang Zhen walked forward a while, the river bank became lower and lower. By the time he stopped, the river bank was already level with the water.

When he arrived at the waterside, Wang Zhen walked slowly along the riverside along the sand on the shore.

"I don't know if the water is cold?"

Looking at the clear river water, Wang Zhen suddenly had the idea of ​​taking a bath.

When Wang Zhen was in Shenzhen and Dongguan, due to his good physical condition, he took a bath with cold water in summer or winter, which was similar to the winter swimming of some people.

Therefore, when he saw the clear water in front of him, Wang Zhen suddenly wanted to take a cold shower.

After having this idea, Wang Zhen looked around and found that there was no one by the river, so he tried the water with his hands.

"It's OK, not too cold."

Wang Zhen said to himself while experiencing the cold feeling coming from his hands.

"Do you want to swim in winter? Although I often come here to swim in winter when I got home a few years ago, I haven't been back for several years, and I don't know if I can still bear it."

After looking around, Wang Zhen thought worriedly.

"It should be fine!"

The idea of ​​going into the water defeated reason. While Wang Zhen comforted himself, he squatted down and untied his shoelaces.

After taking off his shoes, Wang Zhen took off his clothes in a few seconds and began to walk slowly into the water on the sand.

"Damn, it's so cold!"

As soon as the river water filled his thighs, Wang Zhen shivered and said.

Although Leng, Wang Zhen still did not retreat, and this little coldness was still within his tolerance.

It was not until the water had already spread to his thigh that Wang Zhen stopped for a moment, then picked up his family treasure, took a little urine with his right hand, and then evenly applied it to his stomach.

Wang Zhen didn't know who passed this method down. It is said that it was to prevent his stomach from catching a cold. It was true or false. Wang Zhen didn't know. He only knew that the children around him would do that when taking a bath.

After applying urine, Wang Zhen did not stop and continued to walk towards the center of the river.

In a blink of an eye, the water overwhelmed Wang Zhen's shoulders, and he felt that it wasn't that cold now.

Anyone who often goes into the water knows that the water itself is not cold, but if the wind blows, it will look particularly cold.

This is also the reason why some people don’t feel cold when they are in the water, but they feel particularly cold after they get ashore.

When he came to the water, because there was no wind blowing, Wang Zhen felt much better after adapting for a while, and it was not as cold as it was at the beginning.
