Chapter 19: It's harder to do than you think

Three large trees of the same size fell in the mountain stream, which looked to be some years old, and the rocks on the side of the mountain stream were stacked on top of each other to block the trunks from sliding down or they would build two natural dams. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the erosion of the water, with the blocking of the tree trunk dam, two beautiful drop layers are formed at a height of less than two meters, each forming two pools the size of half a basketball court.

Over time, the bottom of the clear pool is covered with dead branches and leaves, forming a brown layer of sauce. Dead branches and fallen leaves have been corrupted, swaying gently with the current.

It's so quiet that it's intoxicating.

Niu Dingtian stood at the water's edge, his perception swept through the waterhole, a few small flowers were surprised, and a few ripples rippled between the shaking of his head and tail, burrowing under the rotten leaves, muddying a puddle of clear water.

Under a dead branch at the water's edge, a small white fish two fingers wide slowly fanned its front fin, alertly watching the surrounding situation.

A black shadow broke into Niu Dingtian's perception, it was a river loach, this little thing belongs to a native species, and it is definitely not the kind of behemoth that can exceed ten kilograms in fish pond farming.

Catfish, a tropical fish species, its blue-black body is as smooth as silk, and the largest individual does not exceed 20 centimeters.

The little thing has eight whiskers, which is their source of perception in search of food and a weapon to defend themselves.

When this little thing was captured, if it was accidentally stabbed, it would be sour enough.

But this little thing is a treasure to Niu Dingtian.

There are a few words in the folklore of the four cities that describe this little guy: nourishing yin and kidneys, excellent nourishing function, delicate meat, delicious taste, and many more......

When Niu Low Heaven muttered the last sentence, he opened his mouth and froze there: "Is the grammar of the Book of Knights contagious?" ”

In short, this small loach is one of the best indigenous fish in the area, with high nutritional value and tender meat suitable for various cooking methods.

Of course, the most important thing is that this little guy is worth a lot of money.

In the markets of the four cities, these little things are priced neither by catties or by the unit of the strip, but by the freedom of the captor.

Usually they will use a small straw rope to string together three or five small loaches less than half a catty, and the price is about 20 yuan.

Of course, some seasons will be higher.

Seeing such a valuable little guy, Niu Dingtian did not rush to catch it, he jumped on the stone ridge in a few steps, stood on a tree trunk, and observed the surrounding situation.

The two cascading waterholes here meet the requirements of Niudingtian for wild breeding ponds beyond imagination.

The water surface is sufficient, the depth is moderate, and the dam can withstand a certain amount of water erosion, so that the fish that it drives can live here.

As for their food, Niu Dingtian dares to guarantee that it is absolutely natural.

This is a mountain forest, and the food that comes along the water is beyond imagination and is naturally green, especially in the rainy season, Niu Dingtian has seen the small insects, eggs, seeds, and so on that washed down with the rain fall into the mouths of these little guys.

Niu Dingtian jumped up along the rotten wood, letting go of his perception to search for the resources in the waterhole.

There is enough water surface to make the little ones in the fish pond feel free of food and clothing, but it also looks very empty, at least now there are very few fish in the water.

Niu Dingtian made a quick calculation in his mind, and these two water surfaces were enough to accommodate more wild fish.

It is almost a natural breeding ground, with two pools as the center, with knee-deep shoals in the rocky upper reaches and curved channels in the lower reaches.

Turbulent currents and turbulent times in mountain streams have almost cut off the upward migration and reproduction of fish downstream, and only a few of the food that has been poured into the upstream have been digested here, and have not been successfully used, or not so many fish can consume the food.

If wild fish can breed here, and then take advantage of the surge in the rainy season to spread up and down, Niu Dingtian can already imagine what it would be like to be a surprising sight.

"Then all I have to do now is drive the fish here."

Niu Dingtian looked at the nets and fish guards he brought: "The water flow is too fast, brother will help you get it." ”

These naturally breeding wild fish are far weaker than their counterparts to the large, robust migratory reproductions of their counterparts, and sometimes a mere ridge or rock can block their migration path.

If you find this suitable place and think about it clearly, then you don't have to hesitate.

Niu Dingtian turned around and ran down the mountain stream downstream, and began his great plan.

……

In the turbulent water, water ripples bloomed, and with the rippling water, small fish hidden in the grass, stone crevices, and mud and sand bottoms surged out.

There are small tilapia, flower picking, white fish, stone flat head, sand grunt, and small red tail fish, reptiles, loaches, burbot loaches, small pointed beaks...... A variety of wild fish, which are rarely seen on weekdays, flock to the calm streams.

Driven by Niu Dingtian's perception, the little ones disturbed the calm in the stream, several, dozens, hundreds of small fish in Niu Dingtian's five-meter radius perception, densely packed with small fish, they jumped out of the water, scrambling in the stream to rush upstream.

The scene was very lively, but it was a nightmare for the dense fears, not to mention that Niu Dingtian didn't think about it, he didn't expect that he would drive away the small fish like this, and there would be such a shocking scene.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Niu Dingtian forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and while distracting himself to drive perception, he ignited the black flame in his hand and constantly replenished the "blessing"

So he's not moving fast.

Niu Dingtian thought very beautifully and was ready to kill two birds with one stone, but the reality was very cruel.

Excitedly drove the fish forward, and when he walked more than 30 meters, Niu Dingtian suddenly felt dizzy in his mind, and he only had time to shout in his heart: "Oops." ”

He sensed the school of fish under his control, and suddenly scattered like ants blowing up their nests.

Niu Dingtian also staggered and fell into the water, wet, he hurriedly climbed out of the mountain stream, sitting on the shore crying and laughing and shaking the water droplets on his body: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" ”

This also made Niu Dingtian, who was very self-aware, think about a few questions.

The plan to drive it out by yourself is a little bit successful, but there is still a long way to go from what I imagined. In particular, the distraction is used for two purposes, and the proficiency of replenishing "blessings" while consuming is surprisingly low.

He just consumed and replenished at the same time, and personally experienced how weak his ability was, once he cast his perception to do things, the "blessing" consumed was not at all what he could replenish at the same time.

After Niu Dingtian thought about the problem clearly, he obediently followed the steps, gathered the fish again, copied them into the net pocket, and honestly worked as a coolie to help the fish move.
