The other party said, grinning and putting on an unquestionable look, I squinted at him for a long time and nodded.

Not to mention, it sounds like that, but it's not a big deal, and some ponds and lakes do dry up and shrink in a year of great drought, which is also the case in my hometown.

On our side, although there may not be a single fish left in the drought, there are some big fish that do disappear early, when I was a child, I was very curious about why, at that time, the third grandfather told me that those fish, not ran away, nor were they caught, in fact, most of them got into the dirt by themselves.

Fish are more sensitive than humans, and they know when the drought is going to happen early on, and they will not wait for death in vain.

At that time, I didn't quite believe this, but later, I encountered a once, at the end of summer, to catch up with a drought that I had not encountered for many years, at that time, the ditch was basically dry, and there were some small puddles that could only submerge the surface of the feet, and I picked up the branches and pulled them in them, making a little bit of small fish and shrimp, the largest, not as big as a finger.

At that time, I just thought it was fun, and ran into it with bare feet and tossed blindly, and as a result, I stepped on the mud in the river, and suddenly found that there were a lot of fish in the originally quiet ditch, which was too big, but there were more than a dozen long crucian carp, plus the common white fish and loaches, I really got a lot, this matter, left a deep impression on me, and I still can't figure out where they are hiding and what kind of place they came from.

Of course, these are all digressions, but when I heard his story, I accidentally remembered it.

I still think that my previous ideas should be more reliable, in fact, there will be openings under this kind of water, and there have been other places, most of them, they are low-lying, and the groundwater gradually converges, and the bottom of the lake is connected to the underground channel or something like that, and it is normal to accidentally make a small collapse or something.

If this is the case, then, in the dry season, such a large pool, maybe at some point those fish who noticed something was wrong will escape from the underground water system, and after the rain, the waterway will be dredged, and they will return the same way, which is not particularly incomprehensible in nature.

"It must be a monster, maybe it crawled out of a cave under the water!" Just thinking about it, the man said to Xiaopang, Xiaopang heard this, but he was excited, seeing that the two of them were in full swing and quite speculative, I smiled bitterly and made a small piece of sweet and sour carp in my mouth, it tasted good, much better than I imagined, it seems that the vision of this little gluttonous cat is still good.

"You try this, this one is delicious." The ghost said, sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs and put it on my plate, and then, looking at me with a look of anticipation, biting the chopsticks, I tasted it, it was a little sweet, but the taste was mellow, and it was really good.

"You like this?" Turning to look at her, I asked.

When Xiao Nizi heard this, she covered her little face and smiled stupidly.

"I'll make it for you when I get back." Scratched on the top of her nose, I said with a smile.

"Boss, when are we going to do it?" I didn't interject when I was eating and drinking, and the big cow asked me as if he wanted to get back his senses, and when I heard this, I remembered that this business was not done yet.

"Oh, these few nights, you can all do it, I think it's better to do it at night, secretive." The old man who looked like a boss said, picked up his wine glass and gestured to me, and then took a sip and said to me: "Actually, you can do it during the day, but this thing is special after all, and I am afraid that I will alarm others and cause some unnecessary trouble." ”

"Can I let that place in at night?" After a moment's hesitation, I asked.

"Don't worry, I have done everything that should be done, everything is in place, and I am waiting for your good news." I nodded, and then asked: "By the way, you haven't said yet, what is your request, such a thing, I think, it must not be a good stubble, if you want to catch it, it is not easy." ”

"It's okay to die, it's better to live." He paused, and then said to me with a bit of luck: "If you can catch it alive, double the price." Ah no, three times," the other said, holding up three fingers.

"There's a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, so I take the liberty of asking, what are you looking for this thing for? Do you want to play with it yourself? If so, it's the same for the living and the dead, anyway, it's for specimens, not for playing. ”

I said, putting on a very incomprehensible look, after the other party heard this, smiled, and then leaned back in the chair and said to me: "Everything has its usefulness, in the eyes of different people, it also has different values, let me tell you one thing and you will understand, do you know the corpse, do you know the corpse that does not rot for thousands of years, you say that thing, is it beautiful or easy to use?" Isn't it just a lump of meat, you can't eat it, but there are so many people who specialize in paying attention to corpses, if it's an ancient corpse, then forget it, after all, for so many years, it's a little valuable for research, but there are people who just died, and the price is not low, don't you say it's strange? ”

The other party said, took out a box of cigarettes in his pocket, I waved my hand to signal that he wouldn't, and they didn't rush to pick it up, this private room is not big, and the air is not too circulating, one person can smoke, if there are a few more, this place will not be able to stay.

"Do you mean that you don't collect these strange things out of a hobby, but in a sense, you just want to wait for an opportunity to do so?" Leaning forward, I asked.

"Well, that's right. That's it, the signboard is big, and the business is coming. Everyone knows that you have a lot of good things in your hands, no matter what they are looking for, they will immediately think of you, so your chances are many times more than others, and sometimes, a business is enough for you to make a small fortune, you have to understand this truth. However, having said that, there are some things that have a price but no market, no matter how good and hard the things in your hand are, no one wants them in vain, you see me now, am I okay? But when I was young, I was also poor, do you know how I got up? ”
