- Zhao Guangming had helped him a lot in the past, but after thinking about it, Liu Junhao still told the truth.
"I'm just saying, if you can catch so many in less than half an hour, you're still not a master. By the way, can you help us and ask him to help us catch a few and take them back?"
"I'm afraid not," Liu Junhao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and told the story about the fat man.
"This old man has personality." When they heard that someone paid 30,000 yuan to buy his craftsmanship, but they still refused to sell it, several people exclaimed in admiration.
"Since we can't ask the master, let's do it ourselves. Anyway, we are here with the guys." One of the young men said and pulled out several beard cages from the trunk.
This cage is different from the common ones. It is made of window screens and steel bars. When put together, it unfolds easily and is more than two meters long.
"Is this possible? I heard that the old turtle hibernates until April or May." He asked "worriedly".
"No problem, the weather is warm this year, and the turtle comes out early." The young man holding the squirrel answered.
"This guy is also a big aquaculture owner, mainly raising Chinese soft-shelled turtles. He is also good at catching soft-shelled turtles. He is a professional. Although he cannot compare with the 'fish king' in your village, his level is definitely not low." Zhao Guangming He said with a boastful tone.
What I¡¯m afraid of are professionals. Liu Junhao couldn¡¯t tell his story, so he finally followed him. He had already planned that when he caught the old turtles, he would let them take away the big turtles and buy the small ones with his own money.
The bait used by professionals is ordinary, just some bran soaked in chicken blood.
After putting the Suma River into the water, several people stood smoking in the distance. While they were not paying attention, Liu Junhao pulled Zhao Guangming and asked in a low voice: "Isn't this person from our town?"
"He's from the county town, and I don't know him very well. Uncle Zhou called me to come here to receive him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone crazy and ran here. I said these people in your village are mentally ill or something. , guarding this feng shui treasure land of the river beach and suffer poverty? If you catch that old turtle casually, you will definitely make a fortune in less than two years."
"Then" Liu Junhao asked.
"What then?" Zhao Guangming didn't understand what he meant.
"If you catch all the old turtles at once, the children in the village will no longer be able to see them. These old turtles are not like leeks planted in the ground. You can continue to cut after one harvest. This is a fortune that will end your children and grandchildren."
"You kid what you said is true. But I'm already here, what else can I say." Zhao Guangming agreed with his point of view, "I often heard my dad say that when they were young, there were rabbits and wild boars running in the fields, and there were rabbits and wild boars in the river. Schools of fish are floating in the water, and the creek is densely populated with old turtles, but it is difficult to catch even one now."
He was halfway through talking, then suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, don't we all advocate sustainable development now? You can totally raise and catch them at the same time. Your kid has already raised eels anyway, so it doesn't matter if you raise some more old turtles. You should." There¡¯s no conflict.¡±
¡°I do have this idea, but I haven¡¯t implemented it yet.¡± Liu Junhao explained with a wry smile. It seems that we need to hurry up and don't wait until all the old turtles are caught before panicking.
He has decided to hang out on the beach a few more times this summer, get some turtle eggs and hatch them in stone locks. The quality of the old turtles growing in the spring water is definitely better than those in the wild, and it should be able to divert people's attention by then.
¡°The sooner the better, in the future I will go to your house to buy turtles when guests come over. How much does your turtle cost per pound?¡± Zhao Guangming asked with a smile, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"You kid, scold me in different ways." Liu Junhao naturally heard the meaning of his words.
Although I feel disgusted with these people, in any case, they are all brought by Zhao Guangming, so they naturally have to entertain them at noon.
Seeing that it was already getting late, he and Zhao Guangming went home to cook together.
Zhao Guangming only filled two fires, and Liu Junhao could tell that this person must be a master at home with clothes on his hands and food on his hands. Fortunately, Zhang Qian came back from school at this time, rolled up her sleeves and went into the house to help.
There are plenty of eels in the backyard, and there is a pound of beef in the refrigerator. I cut some more green vegetables, and finally the hot meal filled half the basin.
After finishing the meal, Zhao Guangming called to ask for dinner, but two people came back, leaving the man who said he would not come back and wanted to watch Sumatra on the river beach to prevent others from stealing him.
Who cares about your stuff? Seeing his persistence, Zhao Guangming did not continue the date.
Liu Junhao felt regretful. He originally wanted to call a few people back and make some small moves, but it seemed that it was not possible.
After dinner, a few people carried some more food and went to the river to change shifts.
In the afternoon, several tourists from the village happened to go to the river beach to play. When they saw Liu Junhao, they came over to take a look.Huh. When I heard that someone was catching turtles here, they all stood on the shore and watched with interest.
No matter how anxious others are, the professionals just have no intention of lifting the beard cage. It wasn't until the afternoon that he slowly picked up the rope and pulled up the squirrel bit by bit.
With the roar of the river, several people's eyes widened. But when Suruo left the water, everyone's expressions were stunned.
There is not even a single fish or shrimp in there, not to mention old turtles.
What's going on? The professional quickly picked up the beard. Following his gesture, everyone saw clearly that there were several holes as big as the mouth of a bowl carved in the middle of the squirrel.
Although Liu Junhao had no expression on his face, he felt happy in his heart. Someone sabotaged? But as soon as this idea came up, I felt it was impossible. You know, at noon, someone is always watching here. Even if the villagers want to make some small moves, they can't find the opportunity.
"What's going on?" One of them had a very interesting expression on his face, "It got caught on a branch. Are there any branches thrown into the water?"
"No, this is living water," Liu Junhao denied.
"It's not hanging from a branch." The professional also shook his head, carefully marked the big hole with his hand several times and said, "It should have been bitten by something."
"Did the old turtle bite it?" Zhao Guangming followed behind and interjected.
"I don't have that much energy,"
"Others" At this time one of them reacted.
The professionals hurriedly pulled up the remaining cages, and the result once again surprised everyone. The beard cages were all torn to pieces, and they were already empty inside. The gauze where the bait was originally placed could not be found.
Not only did they feel strange now, but even Liu Junhao felt a little abnormal.
"It can't be a water monster. I used to hear people say that there is a unicorn in the river." Zhao Guangming usually likes to read books about ghost fights, so when something goes wrong, the first thing he thinks of is some unknown creature. .
"Water monster?" A tourist also became interested and turned around and asked, "What unicorn?"
There has been a long history of saying that there are water monsters in the river. In the past few years, people often said that they saw unknown creatures in the middle of the river, and most of them were bizarre.
The earliest case was in the mid-1960s. It is said that a man named Guo Dafa from Sankeshu went to the river to take a bath at noon. While washing, he suddenly felt a force under the water pulling him towards the center of the river.
At that time, the man felt something was wrong and hurriedly climbed ashore. Just two minutes after landing, I saw a huge splash in the middle of the river, and then a furry monster emerged from the middle of the river. The monster's head is somewhat similar to that of a buffalo, with a thirty to forty centimeter long horn in the middle of its forehead.
Guo Dafa did not dare to trot back to the village. At night he became ill and had a high fever. It is said that he had to lie in bed for more than two months before he recovered. Since then, it has been said that there is a unicorn living in the river. From time to time, people say that they saw the unicorn bathing in the middle of the river at noon or at night.
There was a flood in the 1970s, and the river bank burst suddenly for some unknown reason. Some people said it was caused by a unicorn's horn. Later, the county specially sent a survey boat to search along the river, but nothing was found.
The last time there were rumors about water monsters was seven or eight years ago. At that time, the sky was full of fog, and someone went to the river to wash rice. Inadvertently, he looked up and saw a dark thing floating in the middle of the river.
The man was more courageous and went back to the village and called a large group of people to watch along the river. However, the fog was too heavy and the thing could only be seen vaguely. There was so much noise that time that the town police station sent two officers over to check.
Finally, three fishing boats were sent, and a dozen laborers rushed towards the center of the river with harpoons in hand. When they arrived at the center of the river, they all realized it was a false alarm. It turned out that the thing was an old tree root washed down from the mountain. Because of the heavy fog and the previous rumors of unicorns, everyone thought it was a water monster.
Since then, the rumors about the big river monster have disappeared.
Liu Junhao is 99% doubtful and 99% convinced about the legends of water monsters, but the one in front of him is definitely not a water monster. The movement was too small. Old turtles usually live in shallow water, so the water in the lower beard cage is no deeper than the thigh. If there really is any big water monster, the man on the shore can definitely see it.
"I'll go down and have a look." The professional was quite unwilling. He rolled up his trouser legs and jumped into the river to explore again.
"It's a pity that after searching in the water for more than ten minutes, I couldn't find anything in it.
I was high-spirited when I arrived, and dejected when I drove away. For Liu Junhao, this is the best result. However, he was also quite puzzled as to what could have made several big holes in the shubong.??. Could it be a big blaze? When he thought about it, he thought it was very possible.
Fireheads (Snakehead Snakehead) are extremely ferocious. They make a living by preying on other fish, and sometimes they can even catch water birds. The fishy smell in the cage must have attracted them, and then blocked by the window screen, Huo Tou bit open the cage with his teeth and swallowed the fish inside.
The fire head I caught in the weir pond weighed more than thirty kilograms. The river is wider and deeper, so there is no guarantee that there will be no big fire head in it. Although the squirrel was strong, it was nothing compared to Huotou's teeth.
"But Huotou made a lot of noise, how could that person not notice it?"
