Chapter Eighty-Four: The Metal Carp
This time, Li He was so frightened that he was not light, if he hadn't been on the boat at the time, I am afraid that he would have run more than ten meters away.
It was night, and it was pitch black all around, and Li He was so frightened that he suddenly fell to the stern of the boat, but his eyes never left the dead baby for a moment.
When he said this, Li He's face on the hospital bed changed slightly, and he probably still had palpitations when he recalled the events of last night.
A few of us were also nervous when we heard it, thinking about the environment at that time, who it was, in the case of being alone, we would be scared enough when we encountered this kind of thing.
At that time, Li He stared at the dead baby for five or six minutes, his body did not move during this process, but his brain was not idle, first he pondered why the dead baby was white, he thought that maybe this color was related to the length of time the dead baby was soaked in water! Or maybe the kid has some kind of skin disease.
He analyzed why there were two dead babies and finally thought of the hospital.
In the obstetrics and pediatrics departments of the hospital, many people die every year, and the babies who die are either experimented on or disposed of. Li He also heard a colleague chatting about how many hospitals secretly bury the baby's body deep or throw it into deep water in order to save money.
Interests always tempt many people into villains.
Maybe there is a hospital that has secretly come here to dispose of the child's body in the past few days!
Thinking about it like this, it seems to make sense, and Li He's hanging heart settled again.
He emboldened himself, gradually approached his white baby, and looked carefully at the face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and it seemed that there was no change, and now he was more relieved, probably the face was really deformed by the river blister!
Li He thought to himself.
Although they were all dead babies after two consecutive nets, Li He was not willing to return empty-handed, he started the motor and let the boat travel hundreds of miles and change places.
I, Li He, won't be so unlucky! It's already connected to two nets, and this third time should be rewarding! He said to himself.
The third net quickly went into the water, and after waiting for a few minutes, it was slowly lifted.
Li He first tried the weight of the net, hey! This time there is a door, and it is obviously heavier than the two nets just now!
The feeling in his hand was heavy, and his heart was a little more relaxed, the baby should not be so heavy, on the other hand, since it is so heavy, it should not be a dead baby.
Although he thinks so, he thinks that it should be no problem, but he is still a little timid in his heart, as the so-called being bitten by a snake for one year, and being afraid of the well rope for ten years!
The net was lifted up little by little, and in more than two minutes, Li He was sweating.
The fishing net was lifted to the board, and there was a "clang" sound, which suddenly shocked Li He and trembled, he only scolded his mother at that time! Xindao: What day is it today, and all strange things have happened to me.
As soon as he heard the sound, he knew that he had caught something strange again.
At this time, he became more calm, and took the flashlight and shone it over.
Strange! Only then did I see clearly that all the fish that came on the Internet were fish, about seven or eight, and they were not small.
Now he felt that happiness came too suddenly, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and he didn't think about the voice just now, and immediately bent down to pick up the fish.
When he picked up the third one, the hand he had just stretched out suddenly retracted, and he was shocked that Li He had actually touched a hard and cold thing, which was obviously not a fish.
After all, it was night, and the light was dim, and when he looked at it again, he saw clearly what he had just caught.
It was indeed a fish, a very large Yellow River carp, but it was not a living thing, it was metal.
This fish is so lifelike that it looks like a real fish, and the color is not much different from a real carp, so it is not clear at night at all, and in this environment, who would think of a metal carp from the river!
Li He weighed this metal fish, which weighed more than a dozen catties, and he didn't know what kind of metal it was made of.
At this time, he was even happier in his heart, looking at the color like silver, just these dozen catties of silver are worth a lot of money, not to mention that it has been cast into a lifelike Yellow River carp, maybe it is still a precious cultural relics and artwork.
Li He hurriedly put the other fish into the bucket, carried the metal fish into the cabin, and covered them with a quilt.
The unpleasantness just now was swept away from the clouds, and Li He happily hummed the Yellow River tune, feeling that this was the time to run, so he was ready to hurry up and hit a few more nets.
In the next two hours, Li He caught hundreds of catties of fish, including the more valuable Yellow River saury and Yellow River catfish.
Looking at my harvest tonight, it has far exceeded my expectations.
People who eat Yellow River rice know that they can't be too greedy, Li He decided to catch the last net, and then he finished his work and went home to sleep.
This last net, with all his strength, spread out a circle in the air, and then fell into the water.
A few minutes later, he was slowly dragged up again.
The Yellow River water snake was caught at this time.
At that time, the light was dim, and Li He was sleepy and tired, only to see that it was a golden "Yellow River Water Snake" more than one meter long, and quickly grabbed it and threw it into the bucket, Li He had caught fish all his life, and it was the first time he had seen such a big Yellow River eel, and he estimated that this fish alone could be sold for one or two hundred thousand.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Li He can be said to have returned home with a lot of harvest this night, and people are also a little carried away.
Humming a song, he parked the boat at the small pier outside the village, and when he thought of tonight's harvest, he couldn't sleep with excitement, so he took out a bottle of the Yellow River Special Zone (a local high-grade liquor) from the cabin, and found two cucumbers, and ate and drank by himself.
It wasn't until the east turned white that he felt sleepiness hit him and fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up, it was already more than seven o'clock in the morning, and Li He hurriedly called the workers on the dock to help load three buckets of fish onto the car.
There is a morning market between Lao Miao Village and Dong Cui Village, where the fishermen bring their catch of live fish every morning.
There is a big difference between the price of fish alive and dead, so the fish caught the night before should be shipped in a hurry and sold quickly.
Boats that go out to fish in the river have to dock at the wharf, and some local farmers who like to use their brains work as "fish movers" at this wharf, waiting at the wharf very early every day.
Generally, one or two people go out to fish in the river at night, and the weight of the fish and water is not light, and if you want to send the fish to the morning market, you must have tools.
Li He hired two small workers and gave thirty yuan each, which is already unprecedentedly high in the countryside, after all, he has taken a shit luck, and he doesn't care about this little money.
The three of them drove the donkey cart halfway down the road when they suddenly heard the old man's cough behind them.
Looking back, there was no one, Li He thought he had heard it wrong, but as soon as he took a few steps, there were a few more "cough cough" sounds. Now a few people turned back at the same time, and the three of them couldn't hear it wrong!
They were very puzzled, so they stopped the car and checked it carefully, just at this time there were several "cough" sounds, which came out of one of the buckets in the car, Li He was full of doubts, and hurriedly climbed into the car, poked his head out and looked into the bucket.
Immediately, the whole person was frightened and stupid, and fainted on the spot.
There was also a human face the size of an adult's fist poking out of the bucket, which was the face of the "Yellow River Water Snake" more than one meter long!
