When he arrived at the old house, he saw that the door was locked. Song Wen looked around, found the key from a crack in a brick, and opened the door.

Few people can clean old houses that are not living in. They usually only clean up when worshiping the foundation ancestors at the end of the year.

The old house has just been cleaned during the Spring Festival, so it looks particularly clean.

The useless old house was piled with debris, old rice baskets, old benches, old bicycles, old shoulder poles, etc., all over the place, and it was extremely messy. Song Wen couldn't see the shadow of half a wine steamer, so he had to look for it. Finally, he finally found it in a corner full of debris.

Maybe it was useless for too long, and the wine steamer made of red clay and soil was covered with thick dust.

Song Wen found a piece of rag from the side and wiped it, and the brown and black body of the vessel was exposed. Perhaps because the red clay was sandy, the surface of the steamer steamer was covered with white dots, like stars. However, the inside of the wine-steamer was smooth, which did not hinder the function of the wine-steamer itself.

After looking at it, it felt good. Song Wen picked up the phone and called Song Hu, intending to ask him to come and help take it back.

"Ahu, are you awake?"

"What have you woken up? I'm not as good as you. I've gotten up long ago. Now I'm at the restaurant. You won't be still sleeping! Do you want to crush the dead lice (flea)?"

"No, I've woken up long ago, okay? Are you free now?"

"what?"

"I'm at the old house and want you to drive over and help me carry something back."

"Then you wait a moment. I'll go there right away."

After saying that, Song Hu hung up the phone.

Song Wen continued to clean the steamer, and after cleaning it, he moved it outside the house.

The wine steamer is a hug and is divided into two layers. The wine lees are placed below, and there is a lid on top. There is a long pipe for wine production, and there are ears for grabbing on both sides. The wine steamer is like a backward wine jar. The difference is that the wine jar is flat on the top. The wine steamer is made of earth, so it has a lot of portions, but this is nothing to Song Wen.

After a while, Song Hu drove his small truck over. He got off the car and saw the wine steamer next to Song Wen. He knew that he was carrying this thing. He couldn't help but ask strangely: "Why are you doing this old antique?"

"Steam wine." Song Wen responded and carried the wine steamer to the car.

"Steam wine? Just buy one with steamed wine. The better one is only three to four thousand. Is it necessary to use this old thing?" Song Hu was puzzled by him.

"This is called returning to nature. Do you understand? You don't have to buy it, save more money." Song Wen said angrily.

"I heard that you went to the island to dig a piece of wood and earned a lot of money. Thousands of yuan are just a drizzle for you, and you still have to save money? Why? Now you want to save money for marrying your wife? No, my second uncle has saved it for you a long time ago. You don't need your money, as long as you marry your wife home."

Song Wen felt that there was a generation gap with this guy, and it was a big one.

Nowadays, people like to make some things in a way that returns to nature. Unexpectedly, this guy doesn’t even understand this, so he simply doesn’t talk nonsense to him, just burying his head on the steamer.

After putting the wine steamer on the car, he was afraid that the road would not be damaged, so he took some useless cloth and bags from it and placed them under it, and then took a rope to fix the wine steamer so that it would not break. After it was done, Song Hu drove in front and followed by the motorcycle, so as not to have any accidents.

Because the wine steamer is pottery and is easy to break, Song Hu dared not drive it too fast and walked slowly along the way.

After leaving Songjiabao, I turned over a hill and came to the stream. A large area of ​​water chestnut bamboo shoots were green and growing happily.

Suddenly, Song Wen was surprised to find that there were a lot of people standing by the stream, all of whom were holding nets, staring at the stream with fishing nets, and there were buckets of big and small, and some people kept walking towards the stream from the village.

Song Wen saw it and was confused for a moment. What happened to these people? Are they going to the market? Just as he was confused, Song Hu in front stopped the car, poked his head out and shouted to a person who was rushing over from the village with a net and a bucket of water, "Tianshui, is there fish?"

"Or what do you think we are doing here? You have nothing to do when you are full!" Tian Shui rolled his eyes and said.

After hearing this, Song Wen felt like he realized it. It turned out that the annual migration of fish schools began.

I heard from the old man in the village that this stream in the village leads to the sea. In the past, there were people entering the sea from now on, but no one dared to go there later because they had to circle the deep mountains and forests when they entered the sea. On the water surface of the forest, giant pythons and ferocious crocodiles were rampant, cruel and fierce. Some people went there if they were either swallowed by the giant python in one bite or were bitten to death by the ferocious crocodile. It was very miserable.

It is said that there were road-exploring soldiers who died because of this. For this reason, the superior department specially dispatched a group of big-headed soldiers, blowing up a crocodile nest, killing hundreds of crocodiles, but many big-headed soldiers also died. From then on, no one dared to go to the stream leading to the estuary of the sea again, and it was impossible to pass. Because over the years, dead branches and rotten trees spread across the stream surface, and it was impossible to navigate.

From March to July every year, a large number of fish will swim from the sea to lay eggs and live. When the northwest wind blows in October and November, the fish will start to move to the sea mouth and reproduction into the sea. Locals call this phenomenon fishing, because the fish that came at that time were densely packed, just like raining.

When a large number of fish pass by, people don’t have to use their brains at all. As long as they have the strength to scatter, there will be a lot of fish, such as anchovies, sand loaches, Japanese eels, earth dragons (bass eels), fragrant fish, etc., which makes you happy.

When he thought of the earth dragon, Song Wen thought about the fact that he wanted to raise the earth dragon. He originally wanted to go to Tongling to buy it, but now it seems that it is not necessary. When he shouts in the village, he might be able to collect a bunch of them.

The earth dragon is also called perch eel, scientifically known as flower eel, and is a migratory fish.

When the water is warm and the flowers bloom every year, they will swim from the sea to the camp in the rivers and streams. When the weather turns cold and the north is howling, they will start to move towards the sea mouth and enter the sea to reproduce and lay eggs.

The spawning ground of the Tulong is located approximately in the deep trench between the south of the Philippines, east of Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea. After reproduction, the parent fish dies and the eggs hatch in the current. The first hatched fish are white, thin and soft fronds. The fronds are carried to the shore of the land by the current and then undergo abnormality, turning into short round-lined young eels (also known as linear eels), and then enter freshwater rivers and lakes to feed and grow.

Many fish have a periodic, directional and group migration activity in their life activities throughout their lives, that is, migration. Migration is an adaptation phenomenon. With this activity, the environmental conditions they need in a certain period of life can be met, and the survival of individuals and the prosperity of race can be reliable guaranteed.

Actually, this is no different from humans.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the world was in chaos and wars continued. The people were suffering and left their hometowns and headed south to seek a stable place. This was actually a migration phenomenon, all for the reproduction and survival of the race.

When Song Hu heard that the fish was coming, he suddenly became a little anxious. How could such a thing be without him?

He turned his head and shouted to Song Wen: "Awen, hurry up, otherwise all the fish will be caught."

When Song Wen heard this, he rolled his eyes. This guy stopped the car by himself, but now he talked about himself, and he didn't know what his mind was thinking.

He immediately said unhappy: "Let's go, I'm whining. It's better to hurry up and hurry up if you have this skill."

Song Hu hurriedly drove the car and carried the wine steamer up the mountain. He was anxious and could not help but speeding up. Fortunately, the wine steamer was fine, otherwise Song Wen would have to beat him up. In fact, the phenomenon of fishing has only started to recover in recent years.

In the 1970s, after dams were built in the village to generate electricity and irrigate farmland, fish migration gradually decreased.

Not long after, the old man in the village discovered this situation, but it was too late. Because the dam had been built, there was no way to do it. Later, in order to let the fish swim from the sea to the upper reaches to lay eggs, the old man suggested that a canal be stored and opened on the edge of the dam. Usually, the gate was closed. When the fish were laying eggs, they opened the gate and put the fish over to lay eggs. In this way, the phenomenon of fish migration improved again, but it was incomparable to the time when the dam was not built.

In recent years, the role of dams has become less and less. The village simply opened the gates of the dam to allow fish to migrate to lay eggs in the inner stream and live. After more than ten years of this, migratory fish breed in the stream, and the phenomenon of life has gradually returned to the level when dams were not built before, and migratory fish have gradually increased.

With the painful lessons from the past, no one dared to catch the past fish, but just fished some back and enjoyed it, and let it lay eggs for others. This is called "stay a line of things and meet again when we look back." Otherwise, there will be no need to catch these things in the future. Besides, everyone has a good life now, just grab some and eat them home. It is useless to catch too much.

The old man in the village said that the fish you caught from migrating cannot be bought or sold, otherwise you will suffer. At this time, the old man in the village brought a lot of people to stare at the stream. If anyone fished too presumptuously, he would be warned.

In the words of the old man, this is to leave blessings for the descendants. If they are all saved now, what will the descendants eat in the future?

In addition to asking everyone not to catch fish in spring and summer when fish migrate to the inner stream to lay eggs, every year the elderly take out part of the incense money from the temple to buy some fish fry or birds and beasts and put them in the mountains and forests. Although some people are very disdainful, it has to be said that what the elderly do is practical.

There was a while ago, even a big bird in the village could not see it. Now there are a lot of pheasants, ducks, etc. I occasionally see some rabbits running out of the woods, but I have never seen them before. (To be continued...)
