Chapter 34: Wonders
It was a Sunday morning, just after a light rain, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the fiery red sun rose from the eastern sky, shedding ten thousand rays of light, gilding the water in the pond in front of Wu Yong's house with a layer of gold.
Countless carp floated on the surface of the water to compete for the rain that had just fallen from the sky, these carps were large and small, the big ones were more than a meter long, and the small ones were more than half a foot long, all swinging their bodies and swimming happily, and the whole pond was full of their figures.
There are so many fish!
Indeed, this is not a small quantity, for more than ten days, Wu Yong has to catch thousands of catties of carp from the Wangba River every day and put them in the pond, and there is no change in one or two days, but after more than ten days, the quantitative change causes qualitative changes, and tens of thousands of catties of fish are gathered in a fish pond that is not too big, so you can imagine how crowded it is.
Wu's father and mother stood on the edge of the pond in a daze, looking at the countless carps that suddenly appeared in the pond for a long time, dumbfounded, shocked and inexplicable!
They had already discovered the anomaly a few days ago, and they felt that the water in the pond was very muddy, and there were so many ripples in the water that they had been puzzled, but today they knew the answer.
That's when there are suddenly countless carp in the pond!
What the hell is going on? There weren't many carp fry in the first place!
In such a small pond, the fry stocked are generally grass carp, and carp can not be put more, because carp is an omnivorous fish, and it is very troublesome to put soybean cake, feed, bone meal and other foods to feed, and it does not grow as fast as grass carp.
It is precisely for this reason that at the beginning they only stocked less than 100 carp fry, but now it is possible to put more than 100 carp.
Where on earth did all that carp come from?
It was still Father Wu's well-informed, and suddenly realized, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he said excitedly: "I know, these carp are flying from other places, maybe they are flying from the Zijiang River, it turns out that the legend that carp can fly is true, child, we have made a fortune!"
"Is it possible that it will fly away?" Wu Mu had also heard of this legend, and she was surprised and surprised, but she was more worried that the carp would fly away, so it was empty of joy.
"Yes, carp can fly in, of course they can fly away, it's good to think of a countermeasure. Father Wu showed a nervous look on his face, frowned and thought for a long time, thought of a good way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and said confidently: "the child, I'll guard here first, you go and call someone to help, it's best to call all the people in the village, let them surround this pond, and when they see signs of carp flying out, use intimidation to stop them." ”
"Is this okay? How long will it take?" asked Wu Mu suspiciously.
"Of course this can't be done, it's just the first step, the second step is to invite someone to catch and sell all the carp in the pond, isn't that done?" Father Wu said proudly.
For them who don't know the truth, this is indeed a clever plan and the best solution.
"Boy and father, you are much smarter than Zhuge Liang. Wu Mu smiled and admired, turned around and ran in the direction of the village.
As soon as Wu's mother left, Wu's father looked even more nervous, and kept circling around the pond, watching every move of the carp in the pond, as long as they had any signs of flying away, he was ready to shout a few times to scare off their intention to fly away.
Mother Wu's speed was extremely fast, and she quickly notified the whole village.
How could we miss such a strange thing and such a good show! The villagers of this village were so moved that they didn't have to ask for it and ran over to find out the truth.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Wu's mother's words turned out to be true!
Such a miracle cannot be done without informing relatives and friends to come to visit! Some people run away and report the news.
One to ten, ten to hundred.
In less than half an hour, the edge of the pond was full of villagers, and the villagers from nearby villages were still coming in an endless stream, and there were more and more people, and there were no longer any people standing on the edge of the pond, some people were standing far away, and some people had climbed some tall trees nearby, looking curiously.
The funny thing is that some old people in their seventies and eighties who are slow on their legs and feet also rushed over with crutches and squeezed to the edge of the pond to see what was going on.
In this way, the pond is really crowded with people, and the carp on the surface of the pond are even denser, and the two contrast with each other, which is a wonder.
"How did so many carp come to be?" everyone looked at the carp in the pond in amazement, wondering in their hearts.
Some old people, with their well-informed knowledge and superior seniority, began to express their opinions and solve doubts for everyone.
"The carp can turn into a dragon, and the dragon gate is high, towering over the sky, but the carp that has practiced for many years can jump up from the water, but there is no one in ten thousand who can successfully jump over the dragon gate, so it can be seen that the carp is a fish that can fly, so we can draw a conclusion, that is, the carp in this pond is flying from elsewhere. Eighty-one-year-old Grandpa Wang touched the gray beard with his hand and said to the people around him foaming at the mouth.
"You may not know that carp are capable of migrating on a large scale. I saw it with my own eyes when I was younger. They all line up in long lines, bite the tail of the carp in front of them, and hula fly into the sky, flying from one place to another, from one river to another thousands of miles away, from one river to another river ...... I don't know how far. Therefore, the carp in this pond migrated in this way, which is a manifestation of the Wu family's excellent luck and a sign that his family is about to make a fortune. The grandfather of the Li family, who was so old that all his teeth were gone, was so excited that his face was flushed, and he deceived the juniors next to him into a daze.
......
All kinds of strange legends and stories were told by the old people one by one, which made everyone who listened to it addicted.
Naturally, the two brothers, Wu Yong and Wu Quan, who knew the real reason, had already been called over, and they did not expect that Wu's father and mother would be afraid that the carp would fly away again, which would alarm countless villagers! Now that so many people are watching, it cannot but be said to be a great miracle.
The two of them almost burst their bellies with laughter, and when they heard the old people talking nonsense, their faces were even more red. But no one suspected that they had a ghost in their hearts, and thought they were overexcited.
As soon as Wu's father saw the reinforcements coming, he relieved his heart, instructed Wu's mother a few words, and then left happily. In less than an hour, he flew back with the four brothers of the Ou family, who specialized in fishing for people and then directly purchased them.
"Fishing, fishing. All the villagers watching the excitement were shouting excitedly.
Indeed, it's time to start fishing.
But it's not easy to fish, because you can't let go of the water in the pond for fishing today. It's November and the water in the pond isn't too deep, but it's still deep enough to reach people's heads, and it's hard to imagine how difficult it is to fish.
There is a reason for not releasing water to fish, the price of fish is not high now, and the price will only reach its peak during the New Year, so Wu's father and mother do not want to catch all the fish, but only want to catch these carp that fly from nowhere, and the grass carp they feed will not be sold until the New Year.
