Chapter 39 / Death
Qin Xiao and Chen Xiangmei returned to the house. It was dark and snowing, silver floc flew into the sky, and Qiong Yao fell to the ground. That night, a wild boar bacon with cabbage, tofu, and vermicelli was put into a large iron pot and stewed on the fire. And a few special dishes, the two of them drank together.
Qin Xiao said: "The so-called soldiers will block, and the water will cover the soil; Kill demons and catch ghosts. Tomorrow we'll go around the village. ”
Chen Xiangmei agreed. Early the next morning, the leftovers were warmed up and padded to the bottom. I didn't wear my usual uniforms, but I was dressed in casual clothes at home and came to the downtown of Anle Village. Since the mining team settled in Anle Village, Qin Xiao and Chen Xiangmei have not been to the downtown to hang out. Every day, he practiced between the village office and the Centipede Mountain Range, big and small affairs, eating, drinking, and Lazar, and everything was covered by the director Liu Da and the manager Li Dahua. In this way, it has been half a year and I have not walked around the village.
This time, I was full of cars and horses, and the flower drums were noisy, and I found that the downtown had really changed. Qin Xiao and Chen Xiangmei were born in the city, where have they seen such weather? I saw a huge shop with high cabinets, displaying strange goods and foreign objects; Tea shop wine shop, past Chinese costumes and beads. Jin Cui is dazzling, Luo Qi is fragrant, and the two of them are dazzled and dumbfounded. Eight out of ten of the shop stalls I saw were newly opened; Eight out of ten buyers and travelers are unfamiliar faces.
Qin Xiao and Chen Xiangmei are more happy than worried. In these years, business is booming and money is made, and everything is easy to do. As for the difficulty of managing the large number of people, that is also a secondary problem that cannot be dealt with. Qin Xiao and Chen Liqing's moods are also like a bright sunshine, much clearer, and their moods are no longer heavy.
At noon, the two brothers Liu Qi and Liu Lin sent people to find them, saying that there were seventy-two ponds in the ancient cave of the Centipede Mountain Range, and there were many fish. There are few people, and I hope that Qin Xiao will send some people over. When Qin Xiao was complacent, he naturally stopped talking. simply went with Chen Xiangmei and drove sharks to fish.
Rush to the Centipede Mountains. The two brothers of the Liu family are busy in full swing. One will collect the net on the pool, and the other will go into the water to catch fish. And the pair of newly recruited girls, Mu Wenhui and Xu Jiaying, are in their prime, and they can play lively, but if they move the real chapter, they will be embarrassed. The net is not strong, and the shark is timid. So the Liu brothers were so busy drilling into the sky, neither black nor white. I had no choice but to go back to Laixi to find Qin Xiao and deploy people to come over. Qin Xiao, Chen Xiangmei and others went without saying anything, and successively changed into the diving suits of Supreme Treasure and Arowana. The dumplings generally jump into the pond.
The bottom of the pond has long been criss-crossed, and a ten-sided ambush fishing net array has been set up. As long as you are on the periphery of the net array, and then drive in as many fish as possible, the merit will be complete. It stands to reason that as long as the water is good, it is not a difficult task. The scary thing was the group of saber-toothed fish cruising around. These underwater giants have slender bodies and tough cartilage bones that are difficult for swords to penetrate. The tail fin is wide and powerful, making it not only an extremely useful accelerator, but also an attack. The olfactory field is extremely sensitive, and the smell of blood can quickly attract them. The teeth are the most terrifying, like sharp blades. These teeth grow in rows in the mouth, and once they fall into such a tooth bite, they are immediately ground into meat sauce. The sabertooth fish is greedy by nature, and it can hold a lot of food in its stomach, and sometimes it will be hungry and swallow everything it encounters on the way. The stomach of the sabertooth fish is like a grocery store. So even if they drive the giants away, they will try their best to come back and wait for an opportunity to feed.
It's strange to say, as long as Qin Xiao and the others are bolder, they don't just run away when they see a school of saber-toothed fish turning around. Soon, as if they had sensed some danger, the giants turned around and fled. In fact, it was not that they were afraid of Qin Xiao and the others, but that they were afraid of the giant frog and sea dragon fish skin diving suits they were wearing. For many years, these saber-toothed fish, giant toads, and sea dragonfish, the three kingdoms have been fighting, and they all know the strength of their opponents. Over time, instinct is formed. Even though these giant frogs and sea dragonfish have already had a skin left, the smell information is enough to make these undersea overlords frightened and flee.
The sabertooth fish is oiled on the soles of its feet, and it has virtually become the best fish catcher. The schools of fish that could not escape automatically and consciously fled into the nets—carp with golden fins and a back as thick as a whetstone. With a moving beard and a pair of round eyes like rubies, he fled in a hurry and threw himself into the net; The innumerable long wrists and feet of large and small octopuses are like small snakes, with teeth and claws, and there is nothing on the surface; The conch was also so frightened that it wriggled desperately on the rock, or clung to the reef like screws wedged into the wood; Many white dots shimmer in the water, like stars dotted in the clear sky, which is the fate of all kinds of fish; A group of small dolphins, drunk, unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, tumbling and swimming, I don't know why. The saber-toothed fish that turned around stared at the big protruding eyes, and the desire seemed to burn in the eyes. Keep in the chase of the fish and be ready to feast. When I arrived at the fishing nets, I smelled the skin of giant frogs and sea dragonfish, and immediately turned around and ran. Several times, the fish in the fishing net array caught more and more.
A huge eight-clawed tigerskin octopus also stumbled into the net by mistake, panicking, like a quick hull that had turned over, its colorful back, like a bronze mirror flashing in the sea, its claws rolling, scratching and scratching. The tiger skin octopus is a priceless treasure that fishermen can encounter but cannot seek, and it is full of treasures all over its body, which can be exchanged for gold; The other octopuses were still swimming in all directions, ragged like a rag that was about to break, and like an umbrella with a broken skeleton, stretching and swinging, and fluttering like shrews. The body of the silver barracuda lives up to its name. The top is gray, and the bottom is all white. A little silver light sparkles in the middle of the swirl. The fish fled one after another, shaking their heads and tails, as if countless blades were emitting a cold light in the sea; Countless small shrimps, climbing on the aquatic weeds with their feet, bowing down and bounced, jumping up and down. The school of saber-toothed fish followed, swimming around quickly, with a terrifying face and astonishing vigor.
Naturally, another wave of fish was driven by the school of saber-toothed fish and sent into the net. The long whiskers of the lobsters, dancing, lazily crouching in the ditches, from time to time calmly spraying misty blisters; Flocks of prawns, white and transparent, soft and slender tentacles constantly swinging, looking very mighty, swimming around like a shuttle; The schools of fish that cannot be named are scattered at the bottom of the water, which is vivid and gorgeous. It seems to be a cluster of colorful flames, burning in the clear water waves. The fish found themselves trapped in the nets and quickly ran around the nets. The water in the net was tossed like an oil pot and kept tumbling, and there was a loud "boom".
The fish at the bottom of the pool kept hitting the nets, and the buoys on the pool kept shaking. The experienced Liu family brothers, according to the depth and intensity of the buoy's shaking, can judge how many fish have been caught in the net and when to close the net. Up and down concentric, this net is naturally the maximization of returns. Seventy-two pools, none of them were caught. The Liu brothers and the helper fishermen picked out the fish that were inedible and in the developing stage and threw them back into the pond. The remaining seven or eight out of ten are full of money. The eight-clawed tigerskin octopus that accidentally broke into the net array was too large to be dragged in the pond. The Liu brothers had no choice but to enter the water and use a net to control the octopus first. Drive to the vicinity of the pool of the Longmen sluice, think again, and pull it ashore. This tiger skin octopus is the biggest catch of the entire fishing season, which makes the Liu brothers and fishermen happy and smiling.
For several days, the Liu brothers set up nets, occasionally threw bombs, and then skillfully used saber-tooth fish to drive away other fish. The seventy-two pools of the Centipede Mountains have a bumper harvest.
