Return to the countryside to engage in industry

Chapter 39 And Baby
The Qingjiang River flows through Qingjiang County, crosses the mountains and joins the Yangtze River. Qingmu Township is the entrance of the Qingjiang River into the Twelve Turns. The aquatic resources are very rich here, and a large number of professional fishermen have been raised here.

Xiao Daneng is one of them. Although he is not from Yangjiawan Village, he is still well-known in Yangjiawan Village. Yang Zhenyu's generation's impression of fishermen has gradually faded away. Zhang Mingkang's generation Among them, no one in Shiliba Village does not know that there is a fisherman named Xiao Daneng in Guanshan Village.

He is simply a man of gods. Every time he goes out to fish, it is like installing a tracker. He said that wherever there are big fish, there will be goods there.

In the past, Yang Zhenyu's grandfather went to hang out with him for a while.

With the development of the times, inland river fishermen have gradually disappeared. After the country issued a ten-year fishing ban last year, Xiao Daneng's fishing boat was also destroyed.

I did it privately a few times, and was arrested and educated twice at the police station. Now I dare not go down the river, and occasionally catch fish in the surrounding lakes and wild ponds.

This morning, when the pond in Yangjiawan was dry, he was also watching the scene. Except for the 37kg big fat head that moved his heart slightly, he didn't like the other small fish and shrimps.

But after Yang Zhenyu packed up his things and went home, he found other active things in the pond, and there were more than one or two.

This guy is much more valuable than a fathead fish, let alone a wild one.

After observing all afternoon and waiting patiently, after making sure that no one came at night, I turned on the headlamp, rolled up my pants, and went down to the pond to look for them with a nylon bag in one hand and a fork in the other.

As soon as I got one that weighed two catties, someone came.

If someone caught him, it would take a long time to talk about it, and he might not be able to explain it clearly. He couldn't care so much, and ran away with his things.

Yang Zhenyu chased after him, and found that the fleeing man was quite agile, unlike Yang Kui's sick man.

Speed ​​up and catch up.

After all, Xiao Daneng was in his fifties and sixties, how could he run faster than a strong young man like Yang Zhenyu, so he slowed down and gradually stopped.

"Don't chase, don't chase, don't run, don't run!" Xiao Daneng threw away the fork and pocket in his hand, and panted heavily with his hands on his knees.

Yang Zhenyu went up to take a look, but didn't have any impression, he didn't look like someone from Yangjiawan, and said seriously: "Who are you? What are you doing sneakily in the pond at night?"

Xiao Daneng was still panting, and did not respond to Yang Zhenyu, he stretched out his fingers to the nylon pocket on the ground.

Yang Zhenyu picked up his pocket, opened it, took a light on his mobile phone, and his eyes widened instantly, "Turtle fish!"

Xiao Daneng looked at Yang Zhenyu and nodded.

Turtle is soft-shelled turtle, but the locals like to call it turtle.

"Caught in the pond?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

Xiao Daneng nodded again.

Yang Zhenyu was about to reach out to grab it, but Xiao Daneng quickly reminded, "Be careful, this guy is biting something and won't let it go. If he bites your finger, it will be troublesome. I'll come."

He went up, took the bag from Yang Zhenyu's hand, and poured out the turtle. The turtle was very excited and was about to run. Xiao Daneng stepped on it with one foot, then quickly turned the turtle over, and reached out to grab the turtle The position of the two hind leg shells.

The turtle stretched its neck vigorously, trying to turn around and bite Xiao Daneng's hand, but it was exhausted.

"Purely wild. The black flowers on the back are very beautiful. It is estimated to be two and a half catties. A wild soft-shelled turtle of this weight will sell for more than 300 catties per catty in the hands of fishmongers!" Xiao Daneng said to Yang Zhenyu with a smile, very satisfied, back and forth I flipped through it twice to show Yang Zhenyu.

Yang Zhenyu said: "Uncle, do you know that this pond is now contracted by me?"

"I know, I know!" Xiao Daneng put the turtle into the bag again, and handed it to Yang Zhenyu, "When you sold fish in the morning, I was also there!"

"So, you already knew there was a turtle in it?"

"The pond of more than ten acres has never been dried, and the silt is so deep. I guess based on experience, there should be one. It was in the afternoon, the weather was hot and the temperature was high. I found it crawling out of the soil and leaving footprints." Xiao Da I can say with a smile.

He knew the situation he was facing now, he would definitely not be able to run, and he would not be able to fight, and he would not be able to justify being caught at the scene and walking away with the turtle.

I had to obediently hand the turtle to Yang Zhenyu.

Yang Zhenyu originally thought that the big fat head weighing 37 kg was the biggest harvest in the Yangjiawan pond, and there were such good products as soft-shelled turtles.

Yang Zhenyu saw that Xiao Daneng's attitude was not bad, so he didn't plan to delve into it. After all, the other party was an old man, so he finally reminded, "Uncle, you can't do this in the future, you are stealing."

In fact, Yang Zhenyu didn't have a strong reason. He didn't know that there were soft-shelled turtles in the pond. The soft-shelled turtles were wild. If he insisted on saying that the soft-shelled turtles belonged to him, it could only be proved by the clause added to the contract. It seemed a bit far-fetched that it could be an illegal act of theft, and the harsh words were just to scare him.

"Got it, got it!" Xiao Daneng said with a smile, "Young man, I guess there are a few more in there, you'd better hurry up and do it, otherwise it would be a pity to run away.

There are also a few people in Qingmu Township who often fish turtles, and they probably will also pay attention to this pond. "

Xiao Daneng knew that it was impossible for him to catch him, so he simply reminded Yang Zhenyu to make a good impression, hoping to go back safely tonight.

"Is there anything else in there?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Daneng nodded affirmatively, "The water is drained, the turtles can't hide, they can only dig into the mud, leaving a lot of footprints, I just checked, there are at least four or five turtles footprints."

There are four or five more!
Yang Zhenyu was surprised after hearing this, but also very moved.

But the key question, he can't find it!

In a pond of more than ten acres, who knows where the soft-shelled turtle has made mud?

Even people who often fish may not be able to find the specific location.

Catching soft-shelled turtles is a technical job that requires extensive experience.

Yang Zhenyu stared at the old uncle in front of him.

Xiao Daneng kept smiling at Yang Zhenyu, for fear that Yang Zhenyu would get angry and arrest him and take him to the police station or beat him up on the spot.

"If you continue to do it, can you get the turtle inside?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"It can be done!", Xiao Daneng said confidently. After speaking, he felt that something was wrong, so he quickly apologized and said, "I won't do it anymore, I dare not do it anymore!"

Yang Zhenyu gradually showed a smile, and handed the two-pound soft-shelled turtle to Xiao Daneng, "You take this!"

"No, no, no!" Xiao Daneng waved his hands vigorously, "This is yours!"

"I told you to take it and you take it." Yang Zhenyu said seriously, "You can't go back empty-handed after traveling so far. This turtle, you take it, it's your wages. You help me put it in the pond. Bring up the rest of the soft-shelled turtles."

"Really?" Xiao Daneng stared into Yang Zhenyu's eyes and confirmed.

"Really, I keep my word!"

Xiao Daneng took the pocket and said excitedly, "Young man, I won't brag about it with you. If you hadn't come running over suddenly just now, I might have already set up that big guy."

"Big one!" Yang Zhenyu pointed to his pocket and asked, "Is it bigger than this?"

"What is this?" Xiao Daneng shook his head and said, "I looked at the footprints and estimated the width, at least four to five catties!"
