Chapter 4 Fishing in Space
Han Xiaobai seemed to be still interested in the topic just now, and continued to talk about his cousin's land parcel.
"My cousin is only two years older than me. When he was a child, he was not smarter than me. Last year, he took a one-year contract, which was 1,000 acres, and he made a million yuan. Farmers can also make a lot of money by farming. He got married the year before last.
At that time, my wife was not very willing, but now the couple is not getting along well. Oh! It’s really hard for a rich man, but it’s difficult for a man without money. I have a baby this year, and my life is very nourishing!"
Han Xiaobai was full of envy. He didn't notice my absent-mindedness. My mind was still thinking about what happened in the alien space just now, so I ignored him.
"1,000 acres of land is not a small amount. I don't have any money at home, so I can't do it even if I want to. If you want to do it, you can ask him to help you. Anyway, I don't have the strength now."
Han Xiaobai, who was lying on the bed, looked up and sighed, feeling very drunken.
"My cousin is lucky. It was my father-in-law who gave me the idea and financial support for the land parcel, and he is where he is today. He needed help with so many lands, so he called me. I promised him to wait until this wave of work is completed.
Go find him. I hope he will lead us to get rich together as he said. I am a little worried that if relatives are relatives and work for him, conflicts will inevitably arise over time. Don't make relatives no longer close to each other."
Han Xiaobai's worry is justified. This is why he has not gone to see his cousin for a long time. Every time after drinking two drinks, he still can't help but talk about it. He really wants to do it with his cousin.
Haven't made a final decision yet.
When he mentioned this matter, I felt itchy in my heart. In my situation, I have no education and can only rely on my own efforts to make money, which cannot change the fate of poverty. There is no one who proposes marriage, but now there is a girl who is willing to follow me.
, I can hardly guarantee that I can give her a happy life, unless she is willing to live a life of poverty with me.
Han Xiaobai talked to himself, and for a while he squinted his eyes. The alcohol took effect and he fell asleep.
I covered him with a towel and quilt. He was also a strong man. He was poor but his ambitions were poor, and his luck was bad.
My mind was still on the matter of the alien space, and I concentrated on recalling it. How did I enter the space? How did I come out of it in a daze?
The wart on my wrist was the switch! I touched it carefully, wanting to open it and enter the space, but I was worried that I would never be able to get out after I went in. I was very confused.
I remembered that when I was washing the dishes, I rubbed the wart hard and it entered the space. I also rubbed it when I came out. It seems that the wart had to be rubbed hard to trigger the passage in and out of the space.
Warts cannot be touched easily. If you accidentally enter the space, you really don’t know what will happen.
Warts have become a worry for me. Whenever I raise my hand, I can’t help but stare at it for several seconds, which has become an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Worried about touching it again, I found a thread glove, cut off the palm part, and put it on my left hand.
On the wrist. This way the warts are covered, out of sight and out of mind, and I feel much better.
It's too early to go to bed now. If I hadn't drank some wine with Han Xiaobai, we would be talking about it now.
I walked out of the iron room. The door of the kitchen was very lively. Master Gao and Master Wang were playing chess. Several workers were watching, and they were gesticulating.
This is their spare time. Han Xiaobai and I occasionally go over to watch. Our chess skills are not very good and we only know basic footwork. We are no better than Master Wang and others, so we are embarrassed to show our embarrassment in front of others.
It was getting dark, and the light at the door of the kitchen was on. A group of people were still shouting for advice. It didn't matter whether they won or lost, just to pass the time.
"Master Gao, what delicious food can you cook for everyone tomorrow? Didn't Boss Yao say that we should work hard to improve the food?"
While playing chess, Master Wang was also thinking about the food. His chess skills were slightly better and he could beat Master Gao without having to concentrate so much.
Master Gao must be more serious and go all out in order to lose too badly. He thinks less about things other than the chess game.
"Eat fish."
He answered simply and bowed cautiously.
"It's good to eat fish! It's just that the amount given each time is smaller, it's not enough to eat."
Workers are complaining, and this is an indisputable fact.
"How can you still just eat fish? If you eat a few more steamed buns, you'll be full!"
Master Wang choked the coworker.
General Cart and Master Gao lost.
"Look, look! You keep asking me what I'm going to eat tomorrow. This is intentional interference. If you lose, you lose!" Master Gao smiled and pushed the chess to admit defeat, reset the chess, and start the game again.
I suddenly remembered that there are a lot of fish in the space. I wonder if I can bring them out if I catch a few. If I can, eating fish is not a small case.
As soon as the idea came to me, I couldn't help but think of visiting the space.
I stood behind the crowd and remained calm. In fact, no one noticed. I gently opened the half-glove on my left wrist, stroked the wart, and rubbed it hard a few times.
I re-entered the alien space.
It was dark and midwinter in front of me and I couldn't see anything. There was no sound. I could only hear my own beating heartbeat. I didn't dare to move because I was worried that I might still step on that stone slab. I carefully squatted down and touched it with my hand.
Fortunately, there was the stone slab under my feet, and I touched the water a little further.
I feel a little regretful. It’s true that curiosity killed the cat. It’s night outside, and it’s also night in this space. There are electric lights outside, but there’s no light here. It’s dark. I don’t know which part of my brain is wrong, and I’m still whimsical.
If I come here to fish, I might get caught by the fish.
A gentleman cannot stand in dangerous ground and cannot stay here for long. I quickly rubbed the knot a few times and left the alien space, still standing behind the crowd watching chess.
I had no intention of watching chess and was thinking about playing fish. I couldn't do it at night and planned to go back tomorrow morning.
When I opened my eyes the next day and lay in bed, I first looked at the wart on my hand. Fortunately, it had not changed. It seemed that it had become finalized.
It's dawn outside, but Han Xiaobai is still snoring. Regardless of him, I'm going to catch fish.
Entering another dimension again. It's morning here too, it's dawn, but the sun hasn't come out yet. The air on the water is fresh, and I take a few deep breaths, so happy!
The scene in front of me has changed. There is no longer just a small square stone slab under my feet. The island has expanded to about two square meters. I thought the water could rise and fall.
This is also different from what I heard. The high tide happens in the morning, and the low tide happens in the evening. Now it is morning here, will the tide be low? I blame myself for not going to school well, knowing too little knowledge, and can't figure it out.
Simply don't think about it.
Today I came here to fish, and since there was no one here, I took off all my clothes and plunged into the water.
The water temperature in the morning is relatively cool. I have loved playing in water since I was a child. The water in the ditch behind the village is much cooler than this, so I didn’t hesitate to jump in.
After swimming for a few minutes, I got used to the water temperature.
There were indeed a lot of fish here. It touched my thigh, and I reached out and caught a big carp, which was two feet long. I climbed up to the island.
Chapter completed!
