Golden Fishing Village

The gift Su Jinnan gave to Ao Muyang was indeed very valuable. This was ink from 150 million years ago. Ao Muyang thought about it and thought it would be romantic to use this ink to write a letter of appointment to Lu Zhizi.

However, this fossil shocked him. Can a mollusk like a squid become a fossil? He had dug up fossils on the seabed, but they belonged to the ancestors of turtles. The fossils came from their incorruptible bone shells.

This fossil was the ancient ancestor of the squid. It was a little different from the appearance of modern squids, but Ao Muyang knew that they must be mollusks, so it was quite amazing that it could become a fossil.

He asked Su Jinnan what was going on. The uneducated captain of the Coast Guard suddenly widened his eyes and looked confused: "You ask me the principle? Brother, don't you know my cultural level? You are a literary youth who is half-full of knowledge, and I am just an empty bottle!"

Ao Muyang thought about it and felt that this made sense. He thought about it again and felt that it didn't make sense. This guy criticized himself openly, but actually despised him in a roundabout way.

So he didn't comment on this, but said politely: "Get out, Su Jun."

He secretly took the squid fossil back and took it out in the study to study it when he had nothing to do at night.

Lu Zhizi pushed the door in, and he quickly opened the drawer and put it in.

Seeing this, Lu Zhizi frowned and asked, "What are you doing? What are you hiding?"

Old Ao laughed dryly, "No, nothing."

Lu Zhizi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What else do you want to hide from me?"

Old Ao continued to laugh dryly, "No, really nothing."

Lu Zhizi lowered his head and said, "Meng Yi, go and find out what your father hid."

Lang Er, who followed her into the study, immediately had a gleam in his eyes and ran and jumped to the desk. He sniffed at Ao Muyang's hands, and then began to dig in the drawer with his claws.

Ao Muyang was furious: "Get out of the way, look at you, like a eunuch who has received the emperor's decree, don't you feel ashamed, get out of the way!"

Lang Er continued to dig in the drawer. He relied on Lu Zhizi and was extremely arrogant at this moment.

Ao Muyang had no choice but to open the drawer. Lang Er quickly looked inside and saw a sharp saber that was pulled out, the saber that Black Dragon gave to Ao Muyang.

After seeing the knife flash, its high-raised tail suddenly shrank, and it howled and ran away again.

Lu Zhizi hurriedly called it, but it ran away without mercy.

Lu Zhizi was helpless, put down the tray in his hand and said: "Okay, drink a cup of hot tea, I'll go out now, you just keep your mystery."

Lao Ao didn't want to keep it mysterious, mainly because he hadn't studied it thoroughly. If the information conveyed by Su Jinnan was wrong, wouldn't it be a waste of joy?

The next day he went to the turtle protection area to find Li Ji and showed him the squid fossil.

Li Ji's eyes lit up: "Hey, what a good thing, a mollusk fossil. There are not many preserved ones. Where did you dig it from?"

Ao Muyang said: "A friend gave me a gift. He said that the ink sac of the fossil was not destroyed. It can be soaked in ammonia to produce ink, ink from 150 million years ago."

Li Ji nodded and said: "Yes, that's right."

Ao Muyang asked in confusion: "Under normal conditions, if an organism wants to form a fossil, won't only the harder parts of the body be preserved? For example, bones, shells and teeth, etc. This squid is a mollusk, it is easy to decay, why do I feel it is not reliable?"

Li Ji said: "It is reliable. This is called the Medusa effect-under certain temperature and pressure, the specimen becomes a fossil and is preserved in just a few days. The probability of this effect is very low, only one in a billion. As far as I know, there are only a few hundred cases of soft parts of the body of organisms being preserved worldwide, which is very rare."

After getting the expert's explanation, Ao Muyang was relieved.

It was the town's annual market that day, and he happily drove to the market after preserving the fossils.

This is the busiest time of the year in the town, even when the town government organizes a fisherman's customs display in the middle of the year. People from all over the country come to the market, and with tourists, there are more people at the market this year than in previous years.

Merchants are profit-driven, and there are many vendors setting up stalls. Ao Muyang saw many things that he had never seen in the town before, such as some famous home appliance companies, who came to the town to sell large and small home appliances.

Ao Muyang bought some New Year's goods. By chance, he took out his mobile phone to check the time, but found that there were several missed calls, all from Yan Qingcheng and Zhu Zhu.

He called back, and Zhu Zhu answered the phone and complained: "Uncle Xiaoyang, what's wrong with you? Did you lose your phone? I called several times! Not one, not two, but several! But you didn't answer!"

Ao Muyang turned on the speakerphone, and then said: "Did you hear it? How can I hear the phone ringing in a place like this?"

Zhu Zhu complained even more: "Wow, you actually went to the New Year's market by yourself. My mother and I got up early in the morning and rushed to the village, but you didn't wait for us and went to the New Year's market by yourself!"

Last year, her family spent the New Year at Ao Muyang's house. After experiencing the lively atmosphere of the New Year's Eve, the three of them didn't want to be lonely, so they came together to celebrate the New Year this year.

This year, there are more people. The fishery recruited Chen Dongwa's uncle and nephew and several old twisters. Among them, there were bachelors, so Ao Muyang called them back from the fishery to spend the New Year together at his house.

Yan Qingcheng and the other two had just arrived. Ao Muyang asked them to take a boat to the town pier and picked them up to go to the market to buy New Year's goods.

Women are born shopaholics. Even if they are cold-hearted like Liu Mei, they are very cruel when they buy things with money: Ao Muyang used his hands and feet, and there was a bag hanging around his neck. He was soon overwhelmed.

After returning to the village, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Ao Muyang took Zhu Zhu and Liu Mei to go fishing.

Zhu Zhu was scared when she heard about fishing: "No, no, I'm going to go and play with Brother Xiaoniu and the others."

Ao Muyang said: "This time fishing is different. The climate this year is abnormal, the weather is cold, and the Ambergris Lake is frozen. Have you ever fished on the ice?"

Zhu Zhu was immediately moved: "It's to make a hole in the ice and then fish, right?"

Ao Muyang nodded and said: "Yes."

This is not only Zhu Zhu who has never experienced this, but also Liu Mei for the first time.

Although the temperature in Hongyang is low in winter, it is rare for the lake to freeze. This winter, the temperature is very low, and Longxiang Lake has a thick layer of ice, which can support adults to skate on it, so sitting on it to fish is not a problem.

The temperature was particularly cold in the past few days before the New Year, and it could drop to minus ten degrees at night. The villagers went to see that the ice layer of the lake has become thicker, and many people have played ice fishing.
