Pastoral peasant girls all over the world

Chapter 282

Seeing that they were outsiders, the few of them did not speak, and continued with the work at hand, busy killing fish.

The grass carp were very big, several women scraped the lin and cleaned them one by one, and some had their stomachs disemboweled, so they ignored Mu Sixi.

"Auntie, we are here to buy fry, may I ask?"

Before Mu Sixi finished speaking, the fish-killing women stopped and looked at Mu Sixi in surprise.

One of the honest-looking aunts rubbed their hands and asked nervously.

"Girl, are you really here to buy fish?"

Mu Sixi glanced at her, nodded with a smile, "I heard that there are fish fry in Nanzhi Village, so we wanted to take a look. If there were, we would buy some."

"Yes, yes, we will take you there!"

As soon as Mu Sixi finished speaking, the woman couldn't wait to come over, ready to drag Mu Sixi away.

Chu Lu stood up straight with sharp eyes, blocking Mu Sixi behind her, and the woman smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry."

"Qiong Zhen, Xiu Hua, you two stay and continue to kill fish, Cui Cui, you and I will take the two of you to see the fish together."

The woman turned around and gave instructions, then pulled the woman named Cuicui over, and said to Mu Sixi.

"Girl, I am the official daughter-in-law in Nanzhi Village. You can meet my Aunt Lu. This is my daughter Cuicui, and those two are my daughter-in-laws. If you want to buy fish fry, I will show you."

Aunt Lu took her daughter to the front, followed by Mu Sixi and Chu Lu. Aunt Lu told Mu Sixi and the others as they walked that there was no one in Nanzhi Village today.

"To tell you the truth, our Nanzhi Village doesn't have many things, except fish, which can't be sold, can't be eaten up, and take up space, and people have to pick up the dying ones. It rained heavily last night, and the river A lot of fish died in the river, and now everyone is fishing in the river behind."

After hearing what Aunt Lu said, Mu Sixi realized why she hadn't seen anyone in Nanzhi Village, and they all went fishing.

Aunt Lu took Mu Sixi and the others out of the village and walked towards the back mountain. From a distance, they saw the towering mountain behind them. When they climbed the hillside, they saw many people standing densely at the foot of the mountain.

The river in Nanzhi Village should flow from Nanyue Kingdom, and there should be an undercurrent in the mountains, otherwise such a large river would not be formed, and the entire river would occupy an area larger than the village.

As they got closer, Mu Sixi and Chu Lu looked at each other, full of surprise in their hearts. They saw that there were many fish floating in such a big river that were dying of lack of oxygen, or had already died.

Those who can swim in the village are cutting bamboo rafts to catch fish in the river, while the old, young and women on the bank are busy using their baskets to pack the fish, and some are ready to carry back to the village.

"Aunt Lu, what to do with these dead fish?"

Mu Sixi looked at those dead fish, wondering what they would do with them, so he couldn't help asking.

"I carried them all to the Yanwangkeng outside the village and threw them away."

Aunt Lu said without turning her head, Mu Sixi was puzzled, "What is Yanwangkeng?"

At this time, Aunt Lu's daughter, Cuicui, said, "Girl, Yanwangkeng is the tiankeng more than ten miles outside the village. No one has ever known how deep the pit is, and the animals can't even see their shadows when they fall. That’s why it’s called Yanwangkeng.”

Mu Sixi nodded, smiled softly at Cuicui, and said, "There is still such a pit, so is it okay to throw so many fish in it?"

"Of course it's fine. It doesn't smell at all. It will stink to death if it is dumped in the village."
