Chapter 6 Large Reservoirs
It was already evening when I returned to Huo's house, and as soon as I entered the door, I heard Xu Lian scolding Huo Yong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Other men are taking money from their own houses, you know how to send money out! Every day you only know how to play cards, the old lady was really blind, so she found you such a useless thing!"
Huo Sining walked into the courtyard with a wooden basin, Huo Yong, who was sitting under the grape trellis, raised his head and looked at her embarrassedly, Nunu mouth seemed to explain something.
Huo Sining was not surprised, looking at Huo Yong's depressed appearance, he knew that he must have lost money, otherwise Xu Lian would not have scolded so fiercely.
For fear that the flames of war would burn to his side, Huo Sining didn't dare to provoke Xu Lian, who was angry.
She quickly pulled the rope from which she was drying her clothes and hung them on the sunny side.
was drying his clothes, and Huo Longjiang cautiously walked in from the door, and looked around weakly as soon as he entered the door.
Although Huo Longjiang was domineering and arrogant, he was only ten years old after all, and when he saw Huo Sining struggling in the pond a few times before sinking to the bottom, he immediately panicked and staggered back to the village in fright.
But for an afternoon, he couldn't settle down, for fear that Huo Sining would die like this, and he wouldn't even be able to play, and he regretted doing this prank of pushing Huo Sining into the water.
Huo Longjiang's heart was very nervous, so he had to keep comforting himself, Huo Sining was a wild seed, and his mother would definitely not blame him if he died.
Unexpectedly, when he returned home, he saw Huo Sining standing in the yard in a good manner, and Huo Longjiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was about to open his mouth to ask Huo Sining how he got up from the pond, but as soon as he got close to Huo Sining's side, he noticed a problem.
His eyes widened in astonishment, and he asked angrily:
"Huo Sining, why aren't your clothes wet?"
Huo Longjiang's voice was both angry and annoyed, he was still restless and worried for so long, but Huo Sining didn't have any, not even his clothes were wet!
Huo Sining chuckled in his heart, glanced at Huo Yong quietly, and saw that he hadn't noticed the movement here, so he was relieved.
Standing up straight, Huo Sining turned his head and glared at Huo Longjiang viciously: "What did you say?"
Huo Sining's voice was fierce, and his eyes flashed with cold light, and he invisibly exuded an aura of oppression.
Huo Longjiang's figure suddenly froze, and he was so frightened that he took a step back.
He was used to bullying Huo Sining on weekdays, but this time he was beating a drum in his heart, and he didn't dare to look directly into Huo Sining's eyes, so he turned his head away and said:
"Next time...... If you dare to be lazy next time, I'll tell my mom!"
Huo Longjiang pretended to be fierce and waved his fist at Huo Sining, turned around and ran towards the house.
Huo Sining breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Fortunately, it was this little fat man who found the problem, if it was Xu Lian or other adults, I am afraid it would not be so easy to fool.
After she came ashore, the bead disappeared, but Huo Sining could feel the bead in her body.
Originally, her clothes were soaked when she fell into the pond, but when she came ashore, Huo Sining was surprised to find that she was completely clean, and there was no water stain or mud on her clothes and shoes.
After thinking about it, she felt that it must be the credit of avoiding water droplets.
Huo Sining was worried that getting wet in the water in the future would attract the attention of others, but now he is relieved to see a dry dress.
It's just that she didn't expect Huo Longjiang to see that her clothes were weird.
Fortunately, the child's focus is not on her clothes, even if he thinks it is strange, he will not get to the bottom of it.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Huo Longjiang's attention to be attracted by something else, and he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.
Although it was just a small episode, Huo Sining sounded the alarm in his heart.
This time she is a child, but the next time she may not be so lucky, it seems that she still has to be vigilant, and she must not take it lightly.
If you make up your mind to sell fresh fish from the river, of course, you don't just talk about it.
After dinner, Huo Sining began to take action, first quietly asking Huo Yong which nearby ponds were rich in river mussels and which waters were public territory.
If it was a privately contracted pond, Huo Si would rather not dare to go.
First, those places are privately laid down and the fry are painstakingly cultivated, and each species has an approximate number, and if you find that the number of fish is wrong, you will definitely be suspicious.
And those places are usually guarded by special personnel and dogs, and she is likely to be caught if she rushes into the water like this.
Second, after all, other people earn hard-earned money, and if she takes it without telling it, it is no different from stealing.
After finding out, Huo Sining finally chose the most suitable place for her to start, that is, the Baiyun Reservoir, which is less than two kilometers away from the village and town.
Baiyun Reservoir is the largest artificial lake in Baiyun Township, located at the foot of Baiyun Mountain.
The reservoir is publicly owned, and the 4,000-acre dam provides domestic water and farmland irrigation for the entire Baiyun Township.
The lake is rich in aquatic products, with the most mussels, river snails and hairy crabs.
But because the water level of the reservoir is above 50 meters all year round, no one dares to go into the water to fish for fresh water, at most they are groping for fresh water on the edge of the dry lake.
This is cheaper Huo Sining, there is a cheat device to avoid water beads, even if the water level reaches nearly 100 meters in midsummer, she can dive directly to the deep water area.
That night, after everyone in the Huo family fell asleep, she quietly got up and walked to the Baiyun Reservoir in the hazy night.
She silently recited the strange incantation, and as expected, the blue bead reappeared in her mind.
The lake was deep under the moonlight, and Huo Sining was a little frightened, but the temptation of the river at the bottom of the lake finally defeated the fear.
She took a deep breath and walked slowly into the lake.
The water-sheltering bead has the function of night vision in the water, and Huo Sining was like a searchlight underwater, and not long after sinking to the bottom of the lake, he found a group of river mussels opening their shells and moving hard.
Huo Sining reached out and scooped up one.
Good fellow, big enough to have a big face, several laps bigger than what she fished in the pond near her house before.
After only catching more than a dozen large river mussels, the snakeskin bag that Huo Sining brought couldn't fit it, and she was a little helpless, so she could only go back to the shore first.
Before a mussel is cut, the shell alone occupies 70 percent of its weight.
More than a dozen large river mussels have more than 30 catties, and Huo Sining didn't feel that there was lake water in the water before, but when he arrived on the shore, Huo Sining felt the weight of the snakeskin bag.
Only then did she realize that she had made a mistake, and if she really got these mussels to sell in the market, not to mention whether she could sell them, transportation alone would be a big problem.
Huo Sining was depressed, sitting on the bank of the embankment and looking at the dozen or so big river mussels beside him, crying and laughing.
River mussels are the best to eat when they are fresh, and buyers in the general market will also choose to buy shells, so they can rest assured when they are killed.
But if she sells it in a shell, she faces a big problem, how can she get these heavyweights out?
It seemed that her consideration was not comprehensive enough, and Huo Sining frowned.
Hide a snakeskin bag of river mussels in the aquatic weeds, and don't go into the water to fish, and go straight home.
She decided to go to the market tomorrow and have a look.
