portable space

Zhang Taiping thought so and took everyone around to go to the waterside under the mountain wall.

As soon as she arrived at the water's edge, Fan Ming became very lively. She tested the water temperature with her hands. The reservoir is formed by spring water. It naturally has the characteristics of spring water that is warm in winter and cool in summer. The temperature in this season is neither cold nor hot, which is a pleasant time.

, the water temperature also rises as the weather temperature drops, becoming warm and comfortable.

Fan Ming simply took off her shoes and socks and stepped into the water with her bare feet, deliberately splashing water and laughing like silver bells. When she was tired from running, she sat on a stone and looked at her smooth and jade-like feet.

He said walking like water.

"Auntie, please take off your shoes too. It's so comfortable in the water. There are also little fish coming to peck your feet. It's really fun."

Xing Rushui smiled and shook his head, but did not take action. Instead, Yang Wanli and the other grown men followed the example of the little girl Fan Ming, who took off her shoes and socks and stepped into the water. Wang Peng did not take off his shoes at all, just rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the water.

, regardless of whether the shoes were dry or wet, the five big dogs also jumped into the water and started pawing. Natural sailors would not drown even if they were swimming for the first time. The instinct of pawing is integrated into the blood.

Unsightly but actually able to swim.

He Cheng was surprised and said: "There are really small fish kissing people's feet. What kind of fish is this?"

After all, Yang Wanli grew up in the countryside. When he was a child, he did the wonderful thing of catching fish in the river. He looked at the tiny fry under his feet and said with a smile: "You are so ignorant, you don't even know this."

Except for Yang Wanli, the other four city dwellers really don't know what kind of fish this little fry is that kisses people's feet. Of course, Xing Rushui, who always smiles calmly and is indifferent to the world, is not among them. No one knows her depth, so

Whether she knew the fish or not is anyone's guess.

Yang Wanli originally wanted to whet the appetite of several people, but Wang Peng said: "This is not a strange fish. You can see it everywhere in the river."

Several people were embarrassed. They didn't expect to be despised by a country boy, but they didn't take it seriously. They just didn't know that there was nothing to be ashamed of. Ye Qing held up a cup of water with both hands, and there were still a few centimeter-long strands that had not escaped.

The little fry asked: "How big can this kind of fish grow?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "This kind of catfish is the most common, but its growth conditions are indeed uncommon. It will change its growth cycle as the living environment changes. In this small river and pond, this kind of fish can only grow to seven or eight years old.

If the length of a centimeter is at most ten centimeters, it will stop growing, and its survival time will be shortened accordingly. In fish ponds and reservoirs, as the growth environment becomes larger, its own growth will also change accordingly, and it can grow up to one foot in length.

Or even longer; as for what the situation is like in big rivers, I don’t know.”

He Cheng sighed: "It's so magical, Zhang has seen it. In the past, I only knew that chameleons can change their colors according to the surrounding environment to protect themselves. I didn't expect that there are such animals that can change their growth cycle and lifespan at will in order to survive."

The natural elimination of fish is nothing short of surprising.

While everyone was talking, Alei flapping up from the water with a silver-white fish in his mouth. He jumped to the shore and shook the water off his body, and sprinkled the water on the curious onlookers. He took the fish

He placed it in front of Yang Wanli, with a look of asking for credit and reward. The people who had jumped away just now gathered around again, and Fan Ming, who was sitting on the stone, also gathered around curiously.

The fish on the ground looked like a thick silver chopstick, and it shone with a faint silver light under the light. It was obvious that Alei did not bite it to death. It was jumping alive after being placed on the ground. Yang Wanli grabbed it with his hands, but unexpectedly his whole body

It was so smooth that it slipped out of his hand like a loach, and he actually folded his body and opened a pair of sharp teeth to bite back. He was so ferocious at this point. Fortunately, Yang Wanli reacted quickly and retracted his hand in time.

"Ah, what kind of fish is this? It even bites people." Fan Ming couldn't help but screamed.

He Cheng frowned and thought, but hesitated to speak. He was obviously not sure whether this kind of thing was what the luggage had in mind. Everyone else had expressions of confusion.

Xing Rushui patted Fan Ming's head lovingly and said: "This is a rare saber-toothed fish. Its history is no shorter than that of humans. Due to its high environmental requirements, there are very few of them in the world now. It is recognized by the country.

Listed as a first-level protected animal.”

"Ah, I remembered, yes, it's called saber-toothed fish. I heard that this kind of fish is fierce in nature, but its meat is extremely delicious. You can't buy it in ordinary stores. Haha, I'm in a good mood today." He Cheng finally said

I remembered.

Yang Wanli joked: "This is a national first-class protected animal. Do you feel uncomfortable eating it?"

He Cheng waved his hand: "What a first-level protected animal. A dog can catch one at will. There must be a lot of them in this small lake. It's not a big deal to eat one or two."

"Hey, no one will know if you don't tell me. Eat first." Niu Junfeng agreed with both hands and feet.

In fact, everyone knows very little about this kind of fish. Unlike tigers, giant pandas, etc., you can hear the protection spoken in cocoon. Besides, everyone is not an animal protection association or animal lover, so they may not be interested in eating this fish.

There is no burden on the fish that drives animal rights activists or researchers crazy.

Just as everyone was discussing around the saber-toothed fish, they heard a burst of anxious dog barking. Ye Qing's big white bear jumped out of the water as if its butt was burned, not even caring about the water on its body.

Unable to shake it off, he turned around and bit the back of his butt frantically but to no avail. Then he spun around in circles as if he was chasing his own tail.

Everyone looked at each other, and Ye Qing quickly ran over to take a closer look. Only then did he realize that there was a saber-toothed fish that was the subject of everyone's comments stuck to the big white bear's tail. The silver one was hidden inside the white one, and you couldn't really see it unless you looked closely.

Ye Qing comforted the big white bear who was still squeaking pitifully, and brushed away the long hair on its tail that was stained red with blood. Everyone took a breath of cold air, and opened the saber-toothed fish that was even bigger than the one just now.

The sharp teeth of the mouth were embedded in the tail. In desperation, Ye Qing took out a dagger and cut the long saber-toothed fish into two pieces. The lower body fell to the ground, but the upper body was still tightly clenched on the tail of the big white bear.

"You're so cruel, you won't stop talking until you die." Wang Peng said from the outside.

Ye Qing pinched the two cheeks of the fish's mouth tightly with his hands, and used a knife to pry the fish's mouth off. Just when he was about to throw it away, He Cheng said: "Don't still, don't still, it's not easy to cut one and a half fish, anyway."

It was caught by a big white bear, it would be a pity to throw it away." Ye Qing was helpless about this live treasure, so he had to give him half of the saber-toothed fish, not even the half on the ground.

Finally relaxed, the big white bear rubbed Ye Qing's leg and thanked him. Ye Qing took out the gold wound medicine he carried with him and sprinkled it on the wound before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Little girl Fan Ming was so frightened that she quickly put on her shoes. She no longer dared to go into the water with her bare feet, for fear of following in the footsteps of the big white bear.

At this time, Old Man Qian and Wang Gui also came down from above. Zhang Taiping stepped forward and asked, "How is it? What went wrong?"

Wang Gui replied: "There is no big problem. It is a landslide on the hillside at the entrance of the reservoir. It happened to block the entrance of the reservoir and strengthened the bearing capacity of the entrance. It is estimated that no matter how big the flash flood is, it will not be able to shake it at all. Besides, where is the mountain?

There is no need to worry about flash floods in the future. It is said that the water flow should have become smaller, but for some reason, a two-foot-square hole appeared in the mountain wall below. Water no longer seeps out from the bottom.

The fish can get through.”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "This is a good thing. Not only do you not have to worry about floods in the future, but you can also eat big fish from time to time."

Wang Gui chuckled and said nothing more. A man like him would only talk occasionally when he was talking about business. After the matter was said, silence would be golden again. Zhang Taiping understood it and didn't care.

Old man Qian was surprised when he saw a live and half-shaped saber-toothed fish on the ground: "I even caught two silver chopsticks. These are rare and good things in the mountains."

"Uncle Qian, are these called silver chopsticks?" Fan Ming asked, "My aunt just said they are called saber-toothed fish."

"Saber-toothed fish? This name is really apt. The teeth are like small broken swords. The old man doesn't know what this fish is called in the city. I got the name 'Silver Chopsticks' myself."

"Uncle Qian's name is not bad. This fish is like chopsticks, silvery white." Fan Mingyou gave him a small flattery.

Old Man Qian said with a smile: "This kind of fish is very fierce and cunning. I wonder how you caught it?"

Yang Wanli said with a smile: "This is not the work of a few of us, it is all the work of two dogs. The one that is still alive was caught by my Alei, and the one that was broken into two pieces is Ye Qing's big dog

I caught it with my tail, haha.”

"Catch it with its tail?" Old Man Qian immediately reacted and said, "Is the big dog's tail okay?"

Ye Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Catch some fish and cook boiled fish in the wooden house at night." Niu Junfeng suggested.

This was in line with everyone's wishes, so everyone crossed the sea and showed off their magical powers to see who could catch the most fish in the end.

Niu Junfeng was most interested in Old Man Qian. Together with Old Man Qian, under the command of Old Man Qian, Niu Junfeng cut many long canes and sat on the ground to weave simple fishing nets.

Others began to work in groups. Fan Ming joined Zhang Taiping and Wang Peng's group and helped Zhang Taiping. He was only responsible for picking up the fish thrown by Zhang Taiping. Yang Wanli and He Chengye

Qing was in a group of three, so he simply took off a piece of clothing and tied up two sleeves to use as a fishing net. Wang Gui always walked alone. Xing Rushui did nothing, just stood on the side and watched Fan Ming.

While he was busy working, he would occasionally help her pack up the fish.
