Chapter 7: Scared to death
Wu Yong casually picked up a soft-shelled turtle and was about to dodge into the Lotus Universe, but he heard an earth-shattering shout: "Oh my God, something is wrong, you actually caught another one!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Wu Quan holding a fishing rod and killing Wu Yong with a gust of wind.
Wu Yong trembled all over, as soon as his hand was loosened, the soft-shelled turtle fell, and the person also sat on the ground with his buttocks, patting his chest violently, and was scared!
The soft-shelled turtle that fell to the ground was very strong, like a truck, slamming towards the direction of the dark river.
"Where to run!" Wu Quan's eyes were quick, and he flew up with a kick and kicked the soft-shelled turtle to the ground.
It's good to look at now, and the two giant turtles are lying on the ground side by side on all fours, struggling.
"Two, oh my God!" It was only at this time that Wu Quan saw that there were two giant soft-shelled turtles, his eyes immediately turned into copper bells, and he couldn't believe this iron-clad fact, so he excitedly turned over a heel on the ground, moved to Wu Yong with a smile, and said, "Good brother, tell you the truth, how did you catch these two giant soft-shelled turtles?"
"It's so dangerous! I almost saw my secret by my eldest brother, but now I can't explain the origin of these two soft-shelled turtles, so it seems that I can only talk nonsense. Wu Yong let out a long breath, calmed down, got up, and swore solemnly: "Big brother, it's really a little strange, as soon as I came here after school, I saw these two soft-shelled turtles crawling out of the dark river, and I took the opportunity to catch them." ”
"Strange thing?!I just went back from here, there were no soft-shelled turtles at that time, could it be that there was something wrong with my character? When I left the soft-shelled turtle, I crawled out?" Wu Quan was extremely puzzled, and an eager spark appeared in his eyes, and he walked to the dark river, staring at the flowing water in the dark river, and longed for a few more soft-shelled turtles to climb up immediately, so that he could have a good time catching soft-shelled turtles, and then make a fortune.
"It's over, in the face of such hard facts, his interest is completely aroused, and he will inevitably toss here for several months. Wu Yong looked at Wu Quan's ugly state and felt bad in his heart, but he still tried to dispel Wu Quan's plan to continue fishing for soft-shelled turtles, and said: "Big brother, the soft-shelled turtles here may not be caught, and they have to wait for them to crawl out on their own before they have a chance to catch them." ”
Wu Quan scratched his head and said admiringly: "Brother Gaojian! In the future, I will build a shed here, keep this feng shui treasure, and if I can't catch them, I will wait for them to climb out and send them to the door by themselves, cool!"
He became more and more aggressive, not only fishing, but also making a home here.
Also, as long as he catches a soft-shelled turtle, he can sell it for more than 2,000 yuan, and he has to work tirelessly for at least a month to make wine, how can he not be tempted?
Wu Yong was angry and funny, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, because he didn't have the ability to speak a lotus, and he couldn't find a good reason to dispel the foolish thoughts of the eldest brother, and finally he could only say gloomily: "Then I'll go back." ”
"These two soft-shelled turtles are too big, I'll send you, I'll come back and guard them later, and try it with pork liver as bait." After Wu Quan finished speaking, he happily picked up a giant Mac, and said with a smile: "It's so heavy, there must be more than 20 catties, this kind of wild soft-shelled turtle, it's a big supplement, and it's very good, brother, you're rich." ”
The two of them held the soft-shelled turtle like two galloping horses, and ran quickly in the direction of the village, Wu Quan said while running: "Uncle is not at home, I saw him carrying a bucket to the direction of the field, and my aunt is washing fish and grass by the pond, show her first, let her be happy." ”
Mother Wu is indeed washing fish grass.
She was standing in the shallow water of the pond with a pile of weeds in front of her, bending down to wash the mud off the roots of the weeds and let them float on the surface.
This pond is the public property of the village, and it was contracted by Wu Yongjia for a period of ten years, and this year is the third year. The rules of the contract are very simple, that is, 400 catties of fish in the village are handed over every year, and nothing else. Don't think it's easy to complete, if you're lucky, the fish won't get sick, of course you can make money, if the fish has a plague, you can survive a year of exhaustion, and it's difficult to get a hundred catties of fish.
A stone's throw away from the pond, Wu Quan began to shout: "Auntie, what do you think this is?"
Wu Mu raised her head, looked at the soft-shelled turtle in the hands of the two people who had already run to the edge of the pond in surprise, hurriedly walked up, and asked in surprise, "Here, you caught two more?"
"I didn't catch it, it's my younger brother, his luck is so good, as soon as he reached the dark river, the two soft-shelled turtles obediently crawled out. Wu Quan responded.
Mother Wu rubbed her hands together, so happy that she didn't know what to do.
At this time, only crackling footsteps were heard, and many villagers gathered around curiously. They all heard Wu Quan's earth-shattering shout, and saw the giant turtle in the hands of the two of them at a glance, how could they not come and see it?
"Wow! Two turtles that are so big. Old Lady Tang, who arrived first, looked surprised and exclaimed incredibly.
His surname is Tang, in fact, he is only in his forties, he has no children, everyone calls him Mrs. Tang, and I don't know how this nickname came about, anyway, Wu Yong and Wu Quan don't know.
"I'll see. The sturdy village chief Zhou's eyes lit up, and he shouted from a distance.
He is forty-one years old and is an authentic farmer, but he is still a 'style', 'style' is a country dialect, that is, he is a person who practices martial arts, and his master has been taught, as for martial arts, no one knows, and he has never fought with people, he honestly farms at home, grows vegetables and raises pigs, Wu Quan has invited to fight several times, but he has not agreed, perhaps because he is not Wu Quan's opponent.
Old Lady Tang and Village Chief Zhou each grabbed a soft-shelled turtle almost at the same time, stared at it for a while, and then weighed the weight of the soft-shelled turtle in their hands.
"This one is estimated to be twenty-five pounds. ”
"This one is even more powerful, definitely more than twenty-five pounds, turtle king!"
Sister-in-law, it seems that the 20,000 yuan that your family borrowed from me can be repaid a while earlier. Village Chief Zhou took the opportunity to remind Wu's mother to repay the money as soon as possible.
"It will be returned at the end of the year, please rest assured that the village chief. Mother Wu replied gratefully.
The more people gathered around, several children bent down and got in, staring at the two soft-shelled turtles that everyone was hugging, and asked for a hug.
"Children don't hug, beware of being bitten, such a big soft-shelled turtle, a bite is not fun. Village Chief Zhou waved his hand to stop a few children who were jumping and poking the belly of the soft-shelled turtle with their hands.
"The mute from the next village is here, you see, he caught two more soft-shelled turtles today!" said an aunt standing on the periphery.
Everyone looked together in the direction that the aunt was pointing to.
He was indeed dumb, holding the iron stick horizontally in one hand and a net bag in the other, which contained two soft-shelled turtles weighing more than a pound, and walked proudly from the other end of the road.
Everyone's eyes were a little strange, and they all made way for him, of course, the purpose was to let him look at the two giant turtles, so as to surprise him.
The dumb man walked into the crowd, and when he saw the soft-shelled turtle that was being held by two teenage children, he gasped, his eyes widened, he looked down at the two small soft-shelled turtles he caught, and put the iron stick on the ground, and threw the net pocket to the ground, and snatched one of the soft-shelled turtles from the child's hand, and put it in his hand, stretched out a few fingers to draw a number of twenty-six, and then weighed the other one, and drew a number of twenty-seven.
The dumb man has an amazing talent for soft-shelled turtles, not only can he catch them easily, but he can also weigh them, which is almost indistinguishable from scales.
This is a well-known thing, so they all looked at the two soft-shelled turtles with eager eyes, and did not look at the two little soft-shelled turtles that were dumb.
Indeed, the sum of the two soft-shelled turtles is fifty-three catties, and the sale for 5,000 yuan is ironclad, which cannot help but make them feel envious and jealous.
