After the four of them finished lunch, they rested, and Bai Yi, Wang Dahai, and Gen Nongwu's eldest brother sat together and listened to the eldest brother talk about the cottage.

"Big brother, do you know where that dark river of yours came from?" Bai Yi opened his mouth to ask this rather peculiar topic.

Brother Nongwu, who was talking about what was in the dark river, heard Bai Yi's question, paused for a moment, shook his head, and answered Bai Yi's question, "I don't know where it came from, the more you go into the cave, the colder it gets, the space is getting smaller and smaller, and you can hardly even enter the dark river with your body in the back, only some fish can enter and exit freely." ”

"Then big brother, can we go to the Dark River in the afternoon to see it?" Bai Yi mentioned in an inquiring voice.

"Okay, no problem, let's go now, you take protective measures, the weather is a little hotter at noon, the temperature of the cave is a little higher, you can adapt quickly." After Brother Nongwu finished speaking, he put on the leather clothes and leather pants that Wang Dahai wore back, and put on water shoes.

Looking at Bai Yi and Wang Dahai, who were wearing airtight protective clothing, they walked towards the Dark River Cave first.

Along the way, Brother Nong Wu was telling Bai Yi what to pay attention to, try to protect himself, and don't go to other places because of curiosity, there are deep pits in some places, and it will be dangerous if you accidentally fall down.

The three of them came to the mouth of the dark river cave, turned on the fish lamp and followed Wang Dahai in white clothes, and Brother Nongwu opened the way.

"Big brother, is this cave so big?" Bai Yi looked at the entrance of the cave so big, and when he glanced inside, he found that it was like a large basement.

"Yes, it was like this many years ago, during the famine, we survived by this cave, the fish and shrimp in it, at that time we were hungry and ate everything, thanks to the great father of rice, so that now our family has surplus food, and we can eat enough." The eldest brother said that the father of rice became serious.

Speaking of the father of rice, Bai Yi and Wang Dahai also followed in awe, this old man is really immeasurably meritorious.

Sure enough, the more you go inside, the narrower the cave becomes, and there are even places where only one person can bend over and squat and move slowly, but fortunately, there are not many places like that, and there are still three or four people walking side by side.

I don't know how long I walked forward, and suddenly the narrow stretch arm touched the stone of the road, suddenly opened, only to see that there was half a basketball court as big as a basketball court, there were already people fishing, three elderly uncles, it seems that they have to be in their fifties, are fishing.

When they saw Brother Nongwu, they all nodded. Brother Nongwu also saluted one by one. The three of them came to a place that was a little more partial, and after standing still, the white clothes found that there were actually three branches of the dark river, and a few uncles over there accounted for two, and now the three people in white accounted for one.

Maybe it's because of the deterioration of the eyes of the fish in the dark river, even if they are illuminated by the light, they don't move, but as long as they get close to it, the water fluctuates, and they will spread out in all directions.

Watching schools of whitebait scurrying around with the current, Shiroi's fear that they would be over-caught immediately disappeared.

Brother Nong Wu and Wang Dahai opened the small fishing net and began to catch fish, because the eyes of the small fishing net are relatively large, they will only catch some larger whitebait, and the smaller whitebait can shuttle inside and outside the fishing net.

Bai Yi began to look around the cave, it stands to reason that only the dark river flows to drive oxygen, the cave should be hypoxic after staying for a long time, but there is no feeling of lack of oxygen after coming in for so long, Bai Yi irradiated the entire cave with a fish lamp little by little, maybe the natural ventilation hole is relatively hidden, Bai Yi did not find it.

"Xiaoyi, you see you have caught another silver belt." Suddenly, Wang Dahai's call came, and Bai Yi, who was observing in place, directly gave up observing and came to see the new silver ribbon fish.

"Xiaoyi, how does it feel that this silver belt is about the same size as the silver belt in front." Wang Dahai asked Bai Yi.

"Huh? Indeed, it seems that for some reason this is that their final physique is so big, maybe even the same weight. Bai Yi looked at it carefully and said yes.

The three of them took a break after catching fish for a while, and even then they quickly caught a large barrel of whitebait, as well as two silver belts.

Suddenly, I heard a rapid splash, there were big fish, and a few uncles over there suddenly screamed.

"Walk over and help." Brother Nongwu stepped over to help first, and Bai Yi and Wang Dahai followed

"Uncle Nongge, have you found a big fish?" Wang Dahai leaned over and asked softly.

"It may be a really big fish, it is very likely, stand in a good position and not let it return to the main stream of the dark river, otherwise it will be easy to run." The one who spoke was Uncle Nongge, a typical cottage man, even if he began to grow in age, but the whole person was quite flexible with his hands and feet, just look at him moving around to scare the fish.

A few people stand in a good position, and those who have fishing nets are open with their hands, and it is best to wait for the fish in the water.

As Uncle Nong Ge drove back and forth in the water, the big fish that the three people in white had never seen a shadow may have sensed the danger and began to scurry back and forth, trying to escape the blockade of several people.

Even though the water was knee-deep, in the end, the big fish still could not escape the capture of several people, and after a period of tossing back and forth, it exhausted its physical strength, and was finally copied by Uncle Nong Ge with a fishing net.

I looked at it with a fish lamp, and found that it was a big black fish, and I didn't know what kind of fish it was for a while, and the fish in the dark river seemed to be normal.

Since the uncle and they caught the fish, the fish caught by the three people in white is enough to eat, and the three of them have to go home. This time, Bai Yi walked in the middle, carrying a bucket, Wang Dahai was holding a fishing net, and Brother Nong Wu walked in front, thinking about the fish they caught, Bai Yi was a little distracted, and his feet were crooked and slid directly into the tributary of the dark river next to him.

Fortunately, the water was not deep, and he tried to get up with his hands, but he accidentally found that his palm seemed to be resting on something, so he grabbed it casually, and stretched out one hand to Brother Nongwu to go up to the cave path, and he didn't dare to be distracted anymore.

As if he knew that Bai Yi would look at the big black fish, Uncle Nong Ge deliberately changed a larger bucket to hold the fish. Bai Yi squatted in front of the bucket, carefully a large number of big black fish, looked at it and finally found that his knowledge was not enough, I really didn't know what kind of fish it was, Wang Dahai, who was also looking at the fish next to him, was also scratching his head.

"Don't think about it so much, go back and raise it first to see if you can feed it, and then call back to the old man, he knows a lot of people, see if you can recognize what kind of fish it is." Wang Dahai made a phone gesture to indicate that he would go back and ask his old man.

"yes, go back and ask our dad. It's quite cold to walk around in the cave, so let's go back first. Bai Yi also reacted, instead of guessing, it is better to ask the professionals at home.

Back in the bamboo building, watching Uncle Nong Ge raise the fish, Bai Yi and Wang Dahai changed into protective clothing, and saw that this big black fish was actually alive in ordinary mountain spring water, and couldn't help scratching their scalps.

It stands to reason that the dark river fish is a cold-water fish, because the dark river does not see sunlight all year round, and the water temperature is very low, and many dark river fish die quickly out of the dark river.

I didn't understand it, so I didn't want to, so I sat aside and rested before I remembered what I had brought out of the dark river, and I felt it out of the bucket and took a look.
