The source of Luoluchuan is Bai An 'an, and several mountain springs flow to Luoluchuan from different directions. There is a beautiful crystal clear river flowing slowly from Dabeigou in Baian Township. She originated in Xigou, Nanmingshui Village, and went around to the east of Zhu Wenping Village.
Walking, walking, skipping and cheerful notes all day, flowing out of this more than ten-mile-long Dabeigou, flowing to Luoluchuan ... and finally flowing into Zhuzhuang Reservoir, a famous reservoir in the west of Xingtai.
This beautiful river is Lishui in my hometown.
Lishui, which has been so unknown since ancient times, is endless, tireless, flowing and flowing. ...
No matter in the past or now, for thousands of years, I have been selflessly dedicated to the villagers of the two villages, becoming the place where villagers lived in previous dynasties and the place with excellent feng shui. It has made great contributions to the happy life of generations.
I have been to four mountains and rivers in the west of Xingtai County, and I have been to many counties in Xishan District of Xingtai, Handan and Shijiazhuang. It is unique that such good water flows out of Dabeigou, which is close to Shanxi Province.
Whenever I am free, I often stand by or sit on the smooth stones by the river, watching the running water, listening to her singing and laughing, imagining the river when I was young, and playing with my friends on the beach when I was young. ...
This small river, which flows eastward around the village, starts from Jingtanzui, which is at the junction with Nanmingshui, and is divided into Shanghe, Xiahe, Qianhetan, Qianliwan and Dashadi, and then borders with Yagou in Baian Village for ten miles.
In spring, the weather gets warmer and the creatures in the river come alive. At that time, the wheat fields will be watered. Most of the water in the river has been changed, and the water in the river is much smaller. The partners look forward to the early arrival of Sunday. On Sunday, several of our good friends, you called me and I called you, carrying baskets and buckets, ran to the agreed river to hang crabs, catch fish and shrimp. ...
At that time, there were a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs in the river. As soon as you reached out, there were more than a dozen light fish, fine scale fish, catfish, red-winged fish, sliced fish, xianggong fish, non-fishing fish (this fish head has two hooks, which can cut off people's fingers and escape by themselves), soft-shelled turtle and so on. At that time, crabs were also big, and it took skill to catch crabs. If you don't do it right, your hands will hurt and sometimes bleed.
Most crabs hide under rocks near the water. Sometimes when a stone is lifted, there are two or three pieces, and there may be more than a dozen pieces under a bigger stone.
Lifting the stone, the crab desperately climbed into the river to survive. If you are slow at this time, you can't even catch one. You must act quickly. To catch it from the water, you should accurately grasp the big shell on its back with your thumb and forefinger to avoid being caught by it with a big clip.
Fishing is much harder than catching crabs. You can catch crabs without going into the water, right by the river. Fishing must be in the water, because the fish is in the middle of the water, where the water is deep.
Where the water is shallow and there are aquatic plants, there are some miscellaneous fish, small fish and shrimp, but there are no good fish. A good fish hides under a stone in deep water. You have to put your hands and arms into the water and carefully reach under the stone to touch it. Not every stone has it under it.
I have more fishing times and more experience. I can tell which stone has fish under it by watching the movement of water. It is common for a fish with a hook on its head to cut its finger and bleed, and no one cares. If your finger is broken, press the wound for a while and then continue fishing.
But I often make sarcastic jokes. I remember once, two or three of us surrounded a big stone and put our hands in from different directions. One said I touched the fish, and the other said I caught it. This says I can't pull it out. You let go. As a result, I don't know who forcibly pulled out a green snake.
Ah! The snake puller jumped to the shore, others laughed their heads off, and the frightened man froze. Don't fish here, find another place. ...
With the increase of playing in the river, there are more and more skills. If the branch fishing method is used (also called blocking branches or changing branches), everyone * * * takes shovels and earthen baskets and plugs water into the big river with sand, so there is no water in the small branches, and the fish and crabs in the small branches come out and are directly fished up by hand.
Happiness and joy are indescribable. After fishing, change the river back in case it comes again. There are many harvests every Sunday, including fish, shrimp and more crabs.
Taking the harvest home, the adults smiled and said, "You have gained a lot!" So the adults helped us kill the fish, peel the crabs, rinse the shrimps and fry them in an iron pan. What kind of oil do you have? Just add a little salt, it is clear and light, and you can eat it when it is cooked.
Fish should be eaten first, but crabs should not be eaten. They can be released the next day and taken to school on the third day. It was delicious! I have no idea what a beautiful delicacy it is.
In summer, the sun shines high and the water temperature rises. At that time, the most refreshing thing was swimming in the river. Adults often say, it's several volts before and after beginning of autumn, so don't go swimming in the river. If the water is too cold, it will easily upset the stomach. So, from the day when it was a few volts, we couldn't help but start playing in the river. A few friends who are often together will go to the river after lunch.
When the river is flat or at a bend, there are always several large puddles, the big one is more than 20 square meters, and the small one is 10 square meters. These puddles are our water parks.
People often undress while running, and when they reach the river, they can't wait to jump into the water. The water is not deep, the depth is only a little more than one meter. It's not dangerous anyway. You can swim as you like and make as much noise as you like. Enough swimming and trouble, I came out of the water and found a flat big stone by the river, lying on it for a while in the scorching sun.
It's still a little hot when I just climbed up, but I'll be fine in a minute. Although it's not on the beach by the sea, it's too comfortable on the hot stone, so I don't want to mention it again. When the sun rises, let's play in the water for a while. Have children had such an experience now?
When autumn comes and the weather is cold, adults generally don't let us play by the river. Because there are many beautiful fish in autumn, sometimes I sneak out to get some back and have a good meal, which is often scolded by adults.
Sometimes we go to the riverside to see that there are many fish in that river, so we set up a A Liang (a waterfall, also called a wave) in the narrow part of the river and put down a small Jing basket. It depends on luck to see if there are any fish floating in the next day or the third day.
Winter is our happy season. In the dead of winter, the water on the tributary of a small river has frozen thick, so we use the tributary of this small river to go skating.
Let's line up in order. Let's take turns. Let's run for a while. Follow the trend and be down to earth. Let's slide forward naturally and see who skates farthest in the race. Sometimes find a flat stone to sit on, push your feet hard and slide out for a distance.
Sometimes three or four people or six or seven people are connected in a string, and they all slide forward with stones pulling each other. If the leader slips away, everyone behind him will fall down together and everyone will laugh. Although the face, hands and feet are red with cold and a little swollen, everyone is laughing.
It was decades ago, and now I think about it, it's still like yesterday. Lishui gave me good memories, and Lishui gave me good times as a teenager. But how can you not find the joy and vitality of your youth in Lishui today? Where are the fish, shrimp and crabs in the river? Where are the waterfowl, wild ducks and all kinds of storks by the river? ...
