There are many ponds in Daisy Town, but none of them are big, and fish farming is a small matter, but in winter, when the fish are fat, usually the fish farmers will start to release water to salvage. , there are many idle people.

After the water in the fish pond is drained, put on water pants and go down to the pond. At this time, the fish are out of water, and they can only be slaughtered. People in the vicinity like to buy fish at this time. They think it is cheap and fresh, so buy more Some are just for Chinese New Year.

Although the reservoir contracted by Jin Nanfeng is called a reservoir and has dams, it is actually small in size and average in depth, but pumping water is indeed more troublesome than ordinary ponds.

But even if it's troublesome, you have to do it. If you don't check it thoroughly, you won't know what's under the water. Jin Nanfeng remembers that a few years ago, because there was no one to manage the reservoir, there were people who dumped garbage there for cheap.

The water volume of the reservoir is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary ponds. Fortunately, this is the winter dry season, and the water level inside is relatively low. It is not easy to freeze on their side, and the outside is connected to the river. I want to temporarily change the water out. Back and forth It took almost ten days.

By the tenth day, the water level of the small river outside had doubled, and the land where the milk vetch had been planted had been flooded. The water could not be let go, and it would have to be refilled at that time.

The bottom of the reservoir hidden in the mountains on three sides was slowly exposed. After it was revealed, Jin Nanfeng cursed secretly, but he was glad that he got to the bottom earlier. The underground of this reservoir was indeed full of rubbish.

The closer the reservoir is to the shore, the more colorful it is. Some are wine bottles and plastic bottles, some are plastic bags, and there are even some strange things. I don’t know who threw them down these years.

Fortunately, the area occupied by these things is not too large, probably because the location of the reservoir is relatively remote, after all, there are still a few people who don't mind coming over to throw garbage, otherwise, it will take more than ten years to fill up the reservoir.

In addition to the garbage buried in the mud, it is the surprise that the reservoir gave to the owner. When the water level is getting lower and lower, the occasional figure of a big fish turning over makes the villagers on the shore exclaim.

Jin Nanfeng stood on the shore and looked at it, and couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect there to be fish. I thought they were eaten by people all these years. It seems that they are not small."

When the reservoir was unowned, the villagers would occasionally come to salvage it, and some would come to fish on a special trip. Jin Nanfeng thought that there were no big fish or shrimps in the reservoir.

Grandpa Jin also stared at it, and after reading it, he became happy: "Our reservoir contract is not at a loss. If these fish are sold, some of the capital can be recovered. I will call someone over, and they will be willing to go down and catch them by themselves." , then the fish will be sold cheaper.”

This idea is not bad, the area of ​​the reservoir is not small, if it really depends on a few people from their family, they will not be able to catch the year of the monkey. Jin Nanfeng invited a few people over, but they came to clean up the rubbish nearby.

No one has cleared the ponds in the village for many years. The main reason is that there are many migrant workers these years, and the risk of fish farming is high. The fish ponds here are not big, and gradually no one deliberately raises fish. Naturally, there is no fishing at the end of the year.

Occasionally, especially those children who went out to study, all of them felt fresh, and they came over with a smile on their faces, threatening to catch the biggest fish one by one.

Not to mention them, even Agnelli was a little excited. He put on the swimming pants that Jin Nanfeng had prepared for him. The rubber trousers with suspenders made him feel bulky after wearing them, but it was very difficult to go into the water in winter. Useful.

Jin Nanfeng had already put on his clothes and went into the reservoir, and he shivered all of a sudden. Although the water had been drained, it was clear that the mud was still very icy, and the residual moisture made it difficult for people who entered it to walk.

It has not been cleaned for many years, and the silt in the reservoir is also deposited very deep, almost to the knees. This is still a relatively shallow place. If you think about it, it will be terrible if it is near the center.

After walking a few steps, Jin Nanfeng recalled the experience of fishing when he was a child. He moved over step by step, and the more he walked, the smoother he went. From time to time, he could see fish struggling in the mud.

Compared with Jin Nanfeng's smooth progress, Agnelli's difficulty is getting more and more difficult. His rural experience in the corn field is not enough to support him to move forward smoothly in the mud.

It was rare for him to be a little frustrated, and he stared closely at the cheerful back walking in front, Jin Nanfeng in front noticed his gaze, and when he looked back, he became cheerful: "I can't walk anymore, can you, come on, I'll pull you. "

After speaking, he moved over, took Agnelli's hand and continued walking.The journey that was originally difficult, became romantic because of the hands held by the two.

Of course, only Agnelli is still thinking about romance at this moment. In fact, the water in the reservoir is in full swing, and there are screams everywhere. The trousers turned into clay figurines.

After walking for a while, Jin Nanfeng finally dragged his family to a more suitable place, "Is it right here? At first, the two of us caught more fish than anyone else."

Agnelli has also rolled up his sleeves, staring at the silt covetously, not feeling dirty at all, and even has a bit of fighting spirit in his eyes, however, this fighting spirit is destined to disappear soon.

Jin Nanfeng has the bug of the heart of life, where there is vitality, he can catch it accurately, even if those fish got into the mud, he can pull them out directly.

There are common fish in the reservoir, basically grass carp, carp, silver carp and the like. Jin Nanfeng doesn't pick anything, he just throws it into the basket if it suits him, and sometimes even takes some clam shells when he finds them.

In fact, the water quality of the reservoir is not good, and the area is not too large, but it has not been able to stop it for so many years and has not bottomed out. The fish that are fished out are big and fat, and the clam shells that are fished out are also very big.

After touching it for a while, Jin Nanfeng felt that the back basket was heavy and almost full. When he looked up, Agnelli's body and face were covered with mud. Now he was holding a grass carp and he was about to fly up, looking panicked. rare.

Jin Nanfeng laughed outrageously, and said meanly: "It seems that you can't do it."

The veins on Agnelli's forehead were about to burst out, he glanced at Jin Nanfeng coldly, and continued to fight the grass carp to the death, but he secretly thought about when he would let this guy know what it meant.

Jin Nanfeng always felt that those eyes were a bit dangerous. He touched his nose subconsciously, but got muddy on his nose, so he could only walk ashore in embarrassment. He had to unload the fish in the basket first before coming back.

When Agnelli was doing things seriously, his talent was amazing. When Jin Nanfeng went back and forth three times, he was able to insert one hand into the mud accurately, and brought it up like a fish.

Agnelli raised his eyebrows at Jin Nanfeng with some complacency. The complacency in it was obvious. Jin Nanfeng felt that Agnelli was very childish and cute at this time, and couldn't help reaching out to pinch Agnelli's cheek.

Agnelli dodged backwards, trying to avoid the muddy hands, but she didn't notice that she was in the mud, and fell backwards with an unsteady balance.

When Jin Nanfeng came to his senses, the man of his family was already sitting in the mud, shooting death gazes at him.

Jin Nanfeng held back his smile, and came over with good intentions to pull him up, but in the end, he handed him out, but Agnelli pulled hard, and directly pulled him down, and the two of them rolled into a ball of mud.

The two sat in the mud and looked at each other, then couldn't help laughing, come on, don't dislike anyone now.

The fishing went very smoothly. Although many people fell directly and were covered in mud, they had fun later on. One by one happily drilled into the mud, and some children couldn't help but jumped down.

Jin Nanfeng saw that something was wrong, and shouted loudly: "Whose child, watch carefully, don't get down if you are not tall, it is not a joke to get stuck in it."

He was not afraid of how many fish they would catch, but he was afraid of people's lives. As expected, he yelled, and those unlucky children were discovered by their parents, and they either grabbed their ears and carried them up, or the adults came down and watched beside them.

Jin Nanfeng was relieved after looking at it, and continued to start his fishing business. The further he walked to the center of the reservoir, the more fish became bigger and bigger. Each clam shell was the size of a palm, and the big ones couldn't even be held with both hands.

The children obviously like this kind of treasure hunting. They are not allowed to go to the deeper places, and they fish in the shallower places. Even the smaller clam shells are fished up one by one.

Jin Nanfeng walked slowly towards the center of the reservoir, and suddenly there was something strange about the heart of life. He raised his head and walked towards the center, suddenly the place fluctuated, and soon became calm again.

Jin Nanfeng had a guess in his mind, and moved towards that side. When he reached the place, the mud was almost up to his waist. He moved forward again, and the center of the reservoir really fluctuated again.

At this time, the man at the other end near the center also came over, and suddenly let out a scream: "Hey, I'll go, there's a big guy here!"

The screaming sound attracted the attention of the people around, and they came over one after another. The more people there were, the more movement there was in the quagmire in the middle of the reservoir. Obviously, the big fish also got scared and tried to bury itself deeper.

At this time, someone poked a long pole into it, and as soon as the pole was stretched out, a huge fish poked its head out. It was about one meter long from head to tail, and the fish's mouth was flat like a duck's mouth, but Much longer than a duckbill.

If this mouth is included, it may be more than 1.5 meters. Jin Nanfeng was also surprised when he saw it: "What kind of strange fish is this?"

The people around didn't know each other, and finally an old man said, "Could it be a duckbill fish?"

Jin Nanfeng didn't know what duckbill fish was, and asked, "Is it a rare species, and is it expensive?"

Agnelli next to him explained: "The scientific name of duckbill fish is American duckbilled sturgeon. It is a large freshwater economic fish. The meat is very tender and delicious. It has fewer thorns and more meat. It is almost a keel directly connected to the duckbill. The price Also higher."

"Really, it's so delicious, why don't we grab it and eat it together?" Someone suggested, thinking that this fish monster sounds delicious, and the American duckbill sturgeon is imported, can it be good? ?

Jin Nanfeng looked at the pitiful duckbill fish. Even though it was not small, it could only struggle out of the water: "Does this fish eat fry?"

Agnelli said with a smile: "Those under 12 centimeters will swallow small fish and shrimps. Once they grow up, the feeding organs of the duckbill fish are fully developed, and they turn to filter feeding, which can catch copepods that swim fast. Animals, that is to say, despite their ferocious appearance, they are actually very docile, and they are filter-feeding fish."

After a pause, Agnelli continued: "The duckbill fish is relatively large, and its lifespan is generally more than 30 years. Judging by its size, it is estimated that it has lived in the reservoir for many years."

Someone next to him couldn't wait to ask: "Then shall we still eat it? It would be a pity not to eat it."

Jin Nanfeng looked at it, and finally said: "Don't eat it, just let it stay in the reservoir, it's an old resident, so maybe it's fine for such a big person, eating it is not good for Feng Shui."

The people in the village are all superstitious, and they all nodded their heads after hearing this. Anyway, they have caught enough fish. What kind of duckbill fish is delicious and how delicious can it be? Now Jin Nanfeng is not happy, so they all never mind.

The crowd dispersed one after another, probably sensing Jin Nanfeng's kindness, the duckbill fish floated up a little bit, with its long duckbill exposed, as if observing their movements.

Jin Nanfeng smiled, and didn't get close, and continued to catch the fish around. According to Agnelli, this kind of fish is quite delicious. They can't eat this big one, but maybe they can catch caviar and grandchildren. Try it out.

But Jin Nanfeng was destined to be disappointed. The entire reservoir was searched, and except for the huge duckbill fish in the center, there was not a single small one. It made people wonder where this fish came from.

He was a little frustrated, when he saw Agnelli beside him with a stiff and ugly face: "What's wrong?"

Agnelli's voice also showed some nervousness, and said, "I, I seem to have caught a snake!"

Jin Nanfeng said strangely: "Impossible, such a big moving snake has already escaped, and besides, the snake is hibernating this season, how could it be hidden in the mud under the reservoir."

After hearing his words, Agnelli calmed down a little, and slowly grabbed the thing in his hand. After getting out of the mud, a snake-shaped thing struggled vigorously, and Agnelli's face turned pale.

Jin Nanfeng next to him couldn't help laughing again: "Oh, let me go, isn't this a rice field eel, Mr. Encyclopedia Agnelli, you have caught the rice field eel king in the reservoir!"
