Chapter II
However, Hu Jingshui, a well-educated fish farmer, is not in a hurry, because he pretends to be a college graduate, and his brain is also flexible, and a few years ago he found that he didn't seem to be easy to mix in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and immediately returned to his hometown, and contracted this water area with his savings, in the name of providing "pure natural wild fun" to attract those customers who like fishing to fish. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Because of this, the way he usually raises fish is fundamentally different from that of ordinary fish farmers, and it is a little more wild style.
Just when Hu Jingshui was once again taking advantage of the good weather to inspect his fishing grounds, he rocked the boat and suddenly saw something on the irregular shoreline. "Crocodile?" Hu Jingshui sped up the speed of the rocking, the thing on the shore of the lake in the distance couldn't see clearly, but it was definitely a four-legged animal lying there, yes, what could be roughly distinguished was that this thing had a long tail, and the head seemed to be a little long, and soon it seemed that Hu Jingshui's boat was startled by this thing, and the animal quickly climbed into the water and disappeared.
Hong Long was a little cautious, "I was almost discovered." "His thinking is actually as slow as there is a punctuation mark in every word, how does such slow thinking drive agile movements? It's all up to the animal instincts of this body...... When the keen eye saw the fishing boat in the distance, the body spontaneously began to react and plunged headlong into the water and hid.
It's rare that Hong Long has a little leisure and wants to climb to the shore to rest, but he didn't expect to be seen this time. However, Hu Jingshui, who saw Honglong, also thought quite simply, "There are Chinese alligators here?" That was his first thought. Because Hu Jingshui saw the traces left by Hong Long on the shore after landing on the shore, the traces of the claws and the traces of the tail dragging were easily recognized, and Hu Jingshui also judged that the length of the animal was more than one meter, so the body was relatively slender and would go ashore, and the most likely explanation for such a length was the Chinese alligator. This seems to have become a selling point, and Hu Jingshui is wondering how to use it to do business — at least if he can get money from the government to protect the funds? But Hu Jingshui immediately thought that the local government would most likely forcibly suspend his contract and then compensate him a little money......
"This thing has to be removed." Hu Jingshui thought of patting the water with his palm.
Hong Long doesn't think so much, his brain smaller than a walnut doesn't support his more complex and faster thinking, his heart is now looking for more food, so that he can grow bigger and faster, and then eat more food and continue to grow...... As a beast, that's all he could think about now. The current Honglong body length is about one meter long, and he is already an invincible predator in this deepest water area of only five or six meters, and it is simply not enough to see a black fish or something - of course, out of instinct and poor brainy thinking, the first thing Hong Long can eliminate when he has the ability is the predator like the black fish.
Over the years, environmental protection has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the local government has finally spent money on environmental protection, so the ecology can be said to be getting better and better year by year, and more and more migratory birds come to the waters of Dongting Lake for the winter. A flock of wild ducks landed on the shore of the lake in the waters contracted by Hu Jingshui, nesting among the reeds here for the winter.
The ducks swim in the water, occasionally plunging into the water to hunt small fish. The attackers below the surface swim quietly underwater, assessing which duck is fatter. When Hong Long chose his target, the first thing he did was to silently start to float, and when he was about a meter above the water, his tail and limbs that had been prepared suddenly burst out with great power - with the sound of water splashing and duck panic, an unlucky duck was bitten by the mouth under the surface of the water and dragged to the bottom...... Hong Long's mouth has fangs, some of which are completely large and are completely sharp protrusions formed by the carapace covered by the mouth, and his real fangs are also very similar to the appearance of an African tiger fish - only due to his size, Hong Long's mouth is smaller than that of an African tiger fish of the same length, and his head is not so big, and his weight is far inferior.
But even so, it's not hard to drag down a duck and eat it. Throughout the winter, Hong Long spent his days hunting fish underwater and ambushing wintering birds on the surface, and he was careful not to be spotted by Hu Jingshui and the people who came to fish and watch birds. It can't be said that there is no discovery at all, in fact, more than one person has noticed an anomaly on the surface of the water while fishing or bird watching, basically these veterans can find a big fish under the water, and some anglers are already betting on who can catch this big fish - the common opinion is that it is a eel, and some people think that it is a big black fish.
This winter, Hu Jingshui's income is quite good, and the alligator he was worried about has not been found again, as for the big fish underwater? Due to the hibernation of the Chinese alligator, Hu Jingshui also believes that there may indeed be a big fish in this water, and in his experience, it may really be a eel, which also explains why there are fewer and fewer fish in his fish pond in the past six months. However, if he doesn't go into the water in winter, Hu Jingshui is ready to solve it all at once in the summer, and maybe the big fish will be caught before the summer - the rumors of the big fish have also made his fishing business better and better, and even Hu Jingshui can't make up his mind whether to let this fish be fished away.
Hong Long didn't understand Hu Jingshui's complicated feelings, this guy's body length doubled throughout the winter, almost two meters and four meters long, which is much longer than the Yangtze alligator, but his narrow body makes his weight still not as heavy as the Yangtze alligator, Hong Long's body is more similar to a fatter snake with scales and four legs..... This guy's appetite is also increasing with his size, but in proportion it is decreasing, you must know that when he first came here, he could eat more food than his own weight in a day, and now he basically only needs to swallow about ten kilograms of fish a day to fill his stomach. It's just that he eats too much every day, because it can make him grow faster, and the insecurity urges Hong Long to grow up as soon as possible.
As the winter passed, a new round of fry was released by Hu Jingshui, and of course most of them became food for Honglong. Now Hu Jingshui can confirm that there are definitely several large eel in his fish pond, otherwise there is no way to explain the rate of decline in the water. Whether it is an angler or Hu Jingshui himself, he has seen more than once that there seems to be a shadow of a big fish under the water, swimming very fast, although he can't see clearly, but at least he hasn't run for one meter and a half. As a result, the number of people who came to fish did not decrease at all, and everyone waited for the day when someone would catch a fish that could set a record.
But it was Hu Jingshui who went wrong first......
