Reborn to be rich

Chapter 4

The Huaxia guns in 86 have not been taken back by the state. Almost every household in the village has guns. Every year, the village organizes everyone to go hunting deep in the old forest with guns. This is an important income for Zhangjialing Village every year.

Zhang Guotao quickly cleaned up, and the three of them followed the small road west of the village to the side of the ditch. A huge temple soon appeared in front of them.

This is Zhangjialing and Qingyun Temple.Qingyun Temple is very famous in Yongkang County. It has been built since the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. It has been passed down to this day. Many Buddha statues in the temple are cultural relics thousands of years ago.

I heard that when Qingyun Temple was the most prosperous, the area of ​​the temple exceeded 3000 mu. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Qingyun Temple began to decline, and a lot of land was confiscated by the state. Now it is only more than ten mu. Four halls and a bell tower, more than a dozen monks take care of the 2010-acre mountain outside the temple. After many years, only the upper hall will be left for people to visit. It was only around [-] that the scale of the temple was gradually restored to start tourism.

After passing the Qingyun Temple, we started to go down the ditch. There is no flat road in the ditch, and the roads are all small roads walked by cattle and sheep. Not to mention the steepness of the road, many mountain roads are surrounded by cliffs, and many small stones are rolled down without stepping on them. His body was broken to pieces, Zhang Guodong walked tremblingly, his back covered in cold sweat, but the two younger brothers walked like flying on the mountain road.

The bottom of the ditch is very deep, and when you go down to the middle of the mountain, you will hear the sound of rushing water. There are not many poplar trees on the slopes on both sides of the ditch. People in the mountains use the trees here for cooking. It has been a long time. It's almost gone.

When I walked to the bottom of the ditch, I found a small stream. The wide part was more than ten meters, and the narrow part was only three or four meters. The terrain in this area is relatively flat, the current is relatively fast, and the deepest part is less than half a meter. There are no fish.

"Yes, I know where to catch good fish. It's only half an hour from here."

How many years have passed in this ditch, human destruction has left no wild beasts in the ravine within 10 miles, so the place Wen Bin said is still safe, Guodong nodded in agreement.

Going south along the stream for more than 2 meters, two tributaries appeared. Following Wen Bin, they entered a valley with a smaller current. The diameter of the large one is more than ten meters, and the small one is less than one meter. The water pool is emerald green, and many small fish can be seen swimming in the water.

"Brother Guodong, look over there!" Wen Bin shouted suddenly, pointing to the distant hillside. When it's ripe, chu likes to eat nuts the most.

"Hurry up, he climbs the slope very slowly!" Wen Bin didn't have time to react, he dropped the fishing net in his hand and his backpack, and ran towards the mountainside.

"Brother, you are here looking at things, I'll help Wen Bin." Seeing Wen Bin chasing him, the second younger brother put down his belongings and chased after him.

Guodong remembers that fennel has the effects of nourishing the spleen and lungs, nourishing qi and blood, benefiting water, and killing insects. Among them, fennel oil is a sacred product for treating burns, and it is often not available at high prices.Because of his slow running speed and high value, as long as he is seen by others, he will inevitably be chased.

Seeing the human beings, the first reaction of that cat was to run away, but because of its fat body and short legs, its moving speed was very slow. Zhang Guodong saw from a distance that the distance between it and Wen Bin was shortening.

Zhang Wenbin looked thin and weak, and his speed in the mountains was unbearable. The narrow mountain road looked extremely dangerous, but he was walking fast, and he caught up with the target in no time.

"Bah..."

Fatty is nearly one meter long. It opened its long mouth to warn Wen Bin, but Wen Bin ignored the other party's warning and reached out to grab the long hair on the top of the other party's head.Everyone in the ditch knows that to catch a scorpion, you must grab the long hair on the triangle of the opponent's forehead. If you catch this scorpion, you will not be able to bite or kick it, and its body will become limp.

Fat bean is also a creature that has lived in the ravine for several years. Of course, he refused to accept it directly. He opened his mouth to give Wen Bin a mouthful, but Wen Bin easily avoided it.

"Brother Guotao, go over there, stop him and don't let him run away!" Chasing the half-grown children in the mountain is the most experienced, and you can let him run up, which can quickly consume its energy, or let him run down , Because the front legs are short and the back is long, they are generally not good at going downhill. In an emergency, they roll directly down the mountain with their heads in their arms. When they are lucky, they can escape.But if you give him a chance to go flat and let him hide in any hole, it will be troublesome.

Seeing that he was being flanked by two people and screaming anxiously, Fatty tried his best to climb to the top of the slope, but the uphill was a vertical hurdle. After two unsuccessful attempts, he had to hold his head and flee down the slope.

"Brother, it escaped!" Guotao shouted loudly, and he saw that Ju was rolling down the hill like a ball with his head in his arms. Zhang Wenbin anxiously picked up a stone beside him and threw it at Ju, and Ju's hind legs were hit by the hit. There was a scream, but he still held his head and continued to roll down.

As soon as Zhang Guodong heard the voice of his second brother, he saw a meat ball rolling straight down from the middle of the mountain. He predicted the approximate location where the opponent would fall, and then picked up a big stone and ran downstream.

When the fat puddle fell to the bottom of the ditch, Guodong just saw it hit the big rock.Hearing the sound of "dong", the scorpion was directly knocked into the air and bounced away several meters away. I thought that the other party would definitely die this time, but I didn't expect that the other party turned around and crawled again, although blood flowed from the nose, eyes, and mouth. Get up and prepare to run away.

How can a cooked duck make it fly?Zhang Guodong picked up the stone and smashed it directly on the opponent's head. Fatty's head was directly deformed. After a neigh, there was a convulsion, and then he didn't move.

"Haha, Brother Guodong, you can solve it in one go. Normally, we need at least half a day to kill it. His life is very hard!" Wen Bin had already chased him down, panting while grabbing his mane and lifting him. Mid-air, and after making sure it's dead, throw it into a nearby puddle.

"This fennel weighs at least 20 catties. We made a lot of money today. The fennel meat is delicious. We will eat it at noon!"

The joy of catching wild animals gradually passed away. Wen Bin carried the scorpion and continued to set off towards the destination. The two Guodong brothers followed behind with salutes and walked a thousand meters away. The three of them soon arrived at today's destination.

"That's right here. There are big fish here. I have caught big fish weighing two catties here before." Wen Bin pointed to a small lake ahead.

This small lake covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters, and many wild mullahs and reeds are displayed in the wind, which is really a rare place.Zhang Guodong remembers that this place will be transformed into a fish pond more than ten years later. In the next 30 years, after being developed by a tourism company, it will be replanted with lotus, and it will become an ornamental and recreational place.

"Brother Guodong, let's open the water outlet of the pond first, then put the fishing net in the water outlet, so that it is easier to catch fish." A large part of rural children come to the ditch for fun, playing in the water and catching fish. Crabs catching fish, there is only so much entertainment at this time, and the three of them soon began to move stones.

"Brother, you are so strong, neither of us can move as much as you." This is a ditch that directly discharges water, and it is blocked by many stones. If you want to discharge water, you must first clear the stones.This is how the fish can swim.

"The big rocks are basically moved. I will go to the water outlet to clean up the sand and stones." The water outlet of the pond is blocked by some fine sand, so that the upstream water flows down into the pool and then slowly flows out from here. Guodong used the shovel brought by his brother Cleaning up the sand and stones at the water outlet little by little, the water flowing out soon began to increase, and Zhang Guodong was unable to clean the water outlet because the water flow was too fast.

"Brother, we haven't finished clearing the rocks yet, look, the fish are coming, Wen Bin, get the fishing net!" Zhang Guotao shouted loudly.

There are very few fish that naturally flow out of the pond, and they are all small fish. The largest ones are not as long as a finger. This is the case with the most fish in the ditch, and they will never grow up.

"That won't work. You should block the water at the mouth of the canal first. I have to clean up the fine rocks here." The two brothers threw the big stones into the canal, and soon the water flow began to slow down.

After quickly clearing all the stones at the bottom of the canal at the outlet section, Zhang Guodong felt a little tired with such a strong body. He took out the stones that blocked the water flow, and immediately the water discharge of the entire pond began to speed up.

"Look, the school of fish is coming, and there's a big fish!" Wen Bin watched happily as the fish flowed into his net, but the fish that was bigger than a palm just didn't enter the ditch. He took off his clothes and was about to go into the water.

"You can't go into the water. I don't know how deep the silt in this pond is. You two find a longer pole and drive the fish here."

Guodong watched the fish enter his net one by one, he poured all the small fish into the stone pit beside him, put some water in the pit, and soon harvested hundreds of them.

"The two of you drove the fish to me slowly, not to make you mess around." Guo Tao and Wen Bin kept throwing their poles at the water outlet. The more scared they were, they all ran away, and Guodong's harvest was even less.

As the three of them cooperated more and more tacitly, there were more and more fish in the puddle around Zhang Guodong. Some fish jumped out of the puddle because it was too crowded, and he had to move the fish to a bigger puddle.

Harvesting time always passes quickly. After working for more than an hour, the big pit by the pool is full of fish.Guotao and Wenbin brothers jumped into the pool at some point when their brother was not paying attention. They ran after the big fish in the water with poles. Guodong knew that the water skills of the two of them were good. If something goes wrong, they are no longer in a hurry to catch up with them.

The two brothers swam through the pond from west to west, and the number of fish in the water outlet began to increase. Seeing that the nearby small puddles where fish could be kept were all full, Guodong decided to stop fishing.

"Come up, you two! The harvest is enough for today! More than a dozen big ones, the largest one weighs more than a catty!" The two brothers had already played enough in the water. The second brother used a shovel to make a few branches for grilling the fish.

"Brother, you came here today and we got a good harvest. We will catch crabs in the afternoon. Brother, you are strong and we will surely catch a lot of them. These small fish have less flesh and more thorns than they can eat." , while talking to my brother.

Rural people lack oil in their homes. Many people just wipe a piece of pig skin on the bottom of the pot when they come to the house. It is impossible to make fried small yellow croakers without oil.And this kind of small fish is only suitable for frying. After frying, the fish bones are crispy and delicious.

"Hehe, don't we have a squid!" Zhang Guodong looked at the dead squid and laughed. This squid has a lot of fat and oil, so it's no problem to cut some for oil refining. He took a rough look and found that the fish harvested today are the least. There are more than ten catties, taking it back is enough for younger brothers and sisters to satisfy their greed.

"Brother, fennel oil is a good thing. It can treat burns, and it can be worth a lot of money if sold in the county!" Zhang Guotao reminded that Wen Bin, who originally wanted to eat fennel, also looked away. Grow up slowly and know that life is not easy.

"Well, let's eat the fish first! This fish looks delicious." Zhang Guodong's fish is almost roasted. Although this fish is just put some salt and five-spice powder, it tastes really good.

Zhang Guodong's stomach started to growl when he smelled the aroma. Guo Tao and Wen Bin, who hadn't seen the smell of meat for a long time, also ate their own grilled fish when they saw Guodong was eating.

"It's delicious. If you hadn't moved those big rocks today, brother, we would definitely not be able to catch any big fish. I have to roast another one. It's so delicious!" Their mouths were full of oil, and the three of them ate while grilling, and before they knew it, a dozen big fish went into their stomachs.

"Once..." Zhang Guotao burped comfortably, lying on the rock unwilling to move, he is at the age of growing body, how can he get enough nutrition from corn every day.

"Brother Guodong!" Zhang Wenbin asked while lying on the rock.

"what happened?"

"In a few days, let's come here to eat fish, okay? The small fish that we caught before had no spines, so we couldn't get enough to eat. Today you brought the two of us here. .belch…"

"This pond is only so big. If we come here every day, we will catch it all in a few days, and it's so far away..." Zhang Guodong was also very full. He never thought that a simple grilled fish could be so delicious.He was lying on the stone and the sun was shining on his body for a while, it was already past 2 o'clock, and they would have to go home for dinner in normal times.

"Clean up these small fish, let's go home! Save parents from worrying." In rural areas, it's 10:[-] in the morning and [-]:[-] in the afternoon. There are more than ten catties.Guotao and Wenbin are not very interested in these small fish, but Guodong regards them as treasures.

By the way, after cleaning the internal organs of the scorpion, the three brothers put back the stone at the water outlet of the pool, got up and walked back.

Passing by a mud and rock stall, Zhang Guotao and Zhang Wenbin saw many crab holes here and couldn't walk. Generally, there are crabs in the new crab holes. Rural children are good at catching crabs when they are young.

The two cooperated skillfully and quickly dug a crab hole with a shovel and caught a crab.

I don't know what kind of crab this is. The whole body is black and it is not big. It is difficult to have more than 2 taels of crabs in Xigou, and the common ones are about one tael.

Guodong came to the stream and removed a stone, a small crab saw that his protective stone was gone, and fled to the distance, but Guodong didn't catch it because it was too small.

When changing to a bigger one, he finally saw a not-so-small crab holding up its pincers and preparing to fight back. Guodong was overjoyed and skillfully grabbed its back half and tied it with a piece of water plant.
