Jiang Ning jumped directly into the channel from the shallow grass on the shore.
After he landed, the water splashed violently. Immediately, the water roared again, bypassed Jiang Ning's legs, and continued to flow rapidly.
The ditch in the field is about one meter wide, and the water depth is about above Jiang Ning's knees. The main reason is that the water is too strong, and the bottom of the water is full of slippery mud, making it difficult for ordinary people to stand still.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning!" Xue Yuantong called.
She was so afraid that Jiang Ning would be washed away, otherwise she would risk her own life to catch him.
Fortunately, he was unscathed.
After feeling relieved, Xue Yuantong followed the ditch and looked to the west.
A little further away, the water channel flows through a stone arch bridge. At the bottom of the bridge is a small pond, about three meters long and wide. Some distance further to the west, there is a river from south to north, seven or eight meters wide, and the water is equally fast.
The river channel connects to the water inlet below the dam, and finally merges into the wide Huishui River.
Most of the ditches and creeks in the countryside are distributed like this.
It's still cloudy today, the sky is overcast, with dark clouds rolling in and out, thick black and sticky, and it's about to rain.
Jiang Ning went against the ditch, stepping on the slippery mud at the bottom and moving forward little by little.
Xue Yuantong and Bai Yuxia, the twins who were by the canal, followed him.
Xue Yuantong had particularly good eyesight. She pointed at the fleeting shadow of crucian carp in the water and shouted excitedly:
"Jiang Ning, catch it quickly, catch it quickly!"
In this small canal, in normal seasons, the water flow is very small and there are almost no fish. This situation only occurs when there is a "flood".
As she spoke, she wished she could dive into the water and catch fish herself!
Chen Siyu was confused: "Is there any fish? Why didn't I see it?"
Bai Yuxia said: "The water is too fast, so it's hard to catch any fish."
She waited for Jiang Ning to get off the net.
Jiang Ning carried the triangular river barrage and continued forward, finally stopping at a slightly narrower canal.
He lowered the small barrage net into the canal, and then inserted wooden sticks at the edge of the barrage to secure it to prevent the net from being washed away.
Xue Yuantong and the others saw Jiang Ning holding the wooden stick and driving it down suddenly. The wooden stick suddenly became a lot shorter, which showed how deep it was into the soil.
Two wooden sticks are used to fix the barrier on the left and right sides.
The water surface was tight, with sheets of water foam appearing from time to time. Branches and weeds mixed with the water flow and rushed into the barrier.
If a fish flows down the river and rushes into the net, there is no way it can escape.
"Okay, let's wait to eat the fish." Jiang Ning clapped her hands, and then only needed to clean up the debris in the net every once in a while.
Chen Siyu was stunned: "Is it over?"
Bai Yuxia: "Otherwise, the current is so strong now that we can't jump in to catch fish."
After speaking, she looked up at the river dam.
Jiang Ning's actions attracted pedestrians on the Heba asphalt road, and many stopped to watch.
Teacher Qian, Uncle Zhang, Zhang Ruyun in the bungalow, and Bi Yue who went home to rest for a few days. They were watching the swollen river from the dam, but now they are all focused here.
Teacher Qian looked down at the long canal and was speechless: "The children in Xiao Gu's family are quite thoughtful."
Why didn't he think of setting up a net here?
Zhang Ruyun was confused: "Dad, can they catch fish?"
Butcher Zhang blurted out: "This is bullshit!"
He recalled that the last time he went to catch loaches in the ditch, he felt very annoyed. He brought a bucket with him on a hot day and worked in vain for a long time, but he couldn't find a single loach.
Bi Yue sneered: "Are there any fish in these small ditches now?"
"If you want fish, there is a big river over there. The key is, does he dare to go down and catch it?"
Then, she turned around. To the north of the river dam, the originally quiet and beautiful Huishui River had turned into a yellow stream due to the heavy rain all night and the inflow of major tributaries, and its width had doubled.
The river surface is a full two hundred meters high. At a glance, it is bottomless and filled with surging water, which is quite shocking.
If you go down to the river to catch fish at this moment, let's talk about whether you can save your life first.
Suddenly, in the Huishui River, the water waves collapsed, and a big fish jumped out of the water in the rapids, with its scales clearly visible, and then fell into the river.
There was an uproar among the crowd on the shore.
"I'm surprised, it's such a big fish!" Teacher Qian exclaimed, the fish just now was so long.
Even though he is an old teacher with a dull mentality, he can't help but want to transform into a river god at this moment and scoop up the big fish. Thinking about it, I don't know how glorious it will be!
What's more, a young man like Zhang Ruyun asked excitedly: "Dad, does our family have a fishing net? I want to catch some fish."
Uncle Zhang frowned and his face twitched, "Don't do these things. Do you know how dangerous it is in the river?"
Zhang Ruyun said angrily: "I won't go into the river, so I will fish from the bank."
"That's not possible! If you want to eat fish, let your mother go to the street to buy it for you later." Uncle Zhang refused. He was only a precious son, how could he risk it?
Zhang Ruyun: “Can the fish I buy be the same as the one I caught?”
Not an experience at all!
However, no matter what Zhang Ruyun said, Zhang Shuquan rejected it.
Uncle Zhang has personal experience and knows the horror of river water. If we go forward twenty years, how many of those people who live by the river will not drown in the village?
In those days, Uncle Zhang's village had a good water player, and there were large sand-carrying boats by the river. He could dive under people's boats and plunge down dozens of meters with ease, which was amazing.
Later, when there was a flood, the man was swimming in the river and was sucked away by the undercurrent. Uncle Zhang also went to have a meal. I remember that the pig intestines that day were very smelly.
…
Jiang Ning finished setting up the net, played in the channel for a while, and then stepped onto the shore.
Xue Yuantong was very anxious, so he discussed: "When the net is closed, I will go down and help."
Jiang Ning nodded.
"Hurrah!"
Chen Siyu was moved: "What about us? What about us?"
Jiang Ning: "One more can come down."
"Sister, give it to me!" Chen Siyu signed up enthusiastically.
Bai Yuxia originally wanted to try it, but unfortunately, Chen Siyu beat her to it.
She knew how good Jiang Ning's physical fitness was. With such a rapid flow of water, he stood in the water as if it were flat ground. She thought he could take care of their safety.
Bai Yuxia had never experienced the feeling of going down a river ditch. She looked down at her shorts and then at the edge of the ditch. There were exposed tree roots there, which were suitable for grabbing and borrowing strength.
After ensuring safety, Bai Yuxia no longer hesitated and said, "Can I help you close the net next time?"
"Okay." Jiang Ning agreed, it would be no problem even if they took turns.
Half an hour later.
Xue Yuantong urged for the fifth time, "Okay, okay, Jiang Ning, quickly see if there are any fish!"
She couldn't wait.
Chen Siyu was also eager to try, and everyone looked expectant.
"Yeah." Jiang Ning jumped into the ditch from the shore, simply and roughly.
Xue Yuantong carefully slid down the side of the ditch little by little.
With her bare feet, she finally stepped on the water and felt a strong force, almost losing her balance.
With Jiang Ning's help, she managed to stand still. The water was clear and cool, and the soil at the bottom was soft, which was great. Xue Yuantong's eyebrows relaxed happily.
She held on to the solid wooden stick and did not dare to move at all.
Chen Siyu followed Xue Yuantong's behavior just now and carefully went into the water. She and Xue Yuantong were on the left and right, each holding on to the wooden stick, like two cute door gods.
Bai Yuxia on the bank couldn't help but smile, two pear dimples appeared on her cheeks, and her smile reached the hearts of some men in the river dam.
Zhang Ruyun thought of the smile of a girl he liked when he was 15 years old. Now that he is almost 20, he still likes the smile of a 15-year-old girl.
What the hell... Zhang Ruyun was very melancholy.
Chen Siqing saw her sister hugging the stick tightly like a quail, not daring to move. She couldn't help but get angry: "Sister, what's the matter with you?"
Chen Siyu's face looked aggrieved, "Sister, you don't know how scary it is!"
She came into close contact with the canal, and the sound of water rang in her ears. The water was as strong as a small horse, and she was afraid that she would let go of the stick and be knocked over.
On the river bank, Bi Yue hasn't left yet. It has been cloudy today and the house is very boring, so why not take a break at the bank.
Besides, she was really looking forward to something happening to Jiang Ning and his gang.
Who dared them to offend themselves without knowing what they were doing?
Uncle Zhang was watching on the dam, and when he saw him bringing two girls, he said in a tone of ridicule or emotion that he didn't know:
"Young man Jiang is very courageous."
Teacher Qian: "People who are skilled in art are bold."
He had seen Jiang Ning and Butcher Zhang wrestling with each other's arms. They were so strong that it was unbelievable that they were wrestling with Butcher Zhang's arms as if they were his grandson.
…
Jiang Ning crossed the barrier, went down the river, and touched the tail of the barrier that was sunk in the water.
He glanced forward. Xue Yuantong and Chen Siyu held on to the wooden sticks and turned timidly to look at him.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning laughed out loud.
He took his hand out of the water and shook the water, which splashed on Tongtong's face.
She puffed up her cheeks in anger, but did not dare to use her hands to resist.
Jiang Ning finally lifted up the long tail of the net and saw that there were many weeds and branches accumulated in the net.
Chen Siyu: "Fish, fish, I saw a fish!"
She was absolutely right.
Jiang Ning had already predicted that there might have been very few fish in the canals, but it rained so much last night that many reservoirs and ponds overflowed and were connected together, with fish making homes everywhere.
"Bai Yuxia, please pass me the bucket." Jiang Ning said. Xue Yuantong came down just now and forgot to take the bucket.
After Jiang Ning took the bucket, he uncovered the rope blocking the net and poured everything into the bucket. Then, he stepped on the edge of the ditch and sent the bucket up.
Then they brought the useless Xue Yuantong and Chen Siyu ashore.
When everyone was here, Jiang Ning picked up the bucket and prepared to dump it.
On the river bank, Uncle Zhang, Bi Yue and Teacher Qian all gathered together on the bank to watch.
The bucket was turned over, and leaves and debris were poured into the shallow puddles on the edge of the field. At the same time, many fish were jumping lively, with brown, dark, and white scales jumping into their eyes.
Xue Yuantong was crazy: "crucian carp, striped fish, and black fish!"
There are more than a dozen of them. Although they are not very big, they can be caught in one net. It is a great start.
Besides, these fish are all wild, just think about how delicious they are.
Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing came closer and squatted down to watch. The two sisters even stretched out their hands to catch the crucian carp in the shallow puddle:
"It's so slippery, it's still twisting, clucking~"
Feeling the surging vitality of the fish, Chen Siyu was definitely as excited as Xue Yuantong.
Bai Yuxia put aside her reserve and watched her catch up close.
On the river dam, some young boys and girls came specially to watch.
College student Zhang Ruyun was so anxious that catching fish was a passion of most boys. He felt that standing on the dam was not enough, so he ran to Jiang Ning's side with a few others.
Seeing a bunch of fish on the small puddle, Zhang Ruyun looked excited and spoke very fast:
"I really caught a fish, it's so strong."
Xue Yuantong said proudly: "Of course, I have to have the foresight to find a good location to launch the net."
After showing off, she turned her head and looked at the crowd of people paying attention on the river bank, her mood almost reached the sky!
In the past, when there was a flood, Xue Yuantong always watched others catch fish, but now, she is the fish catcher! "
Bi Yue's delicate technological face was slightly distorted.
It was embarrassing for her to speak so wildly just now, but Jiang Ning's success made her even more worried.
It’s so uncomfortable.
Her mentality was distorted: "A few broken little fishes are like finding treasures. They have never seen the world."
Teacher Qian shook his head, "That's a wild fish, it's really a treasure."
"Are wild fish noble?" Bi Yue asked back.
There was a well-dressed middle-aged uncle on the dam who looked unhappy at her. The middle-aged uncle was a fisherman and his dignity should not be offended. He choked and said:
“Wild fish is really expensive!”
Bi Yue sneered: "A poor person like you would think wild fish is expensive."
The middle-aged uncle took out his car key and pressed it. A brand new brown Porsche Cayenne on the roadside made a sound. He asked casually:
"Who are you calling poor?"
Bi Yue Technology's face changed. The Cayenne is a relatively high-end luxury car, costing more than one million yuan. The car in front of her is still a new car, which shows that the worth of a middle-aged man is not necessarily worse than hers.
Facing people of the same level, she softened her tone and still insisted: "What's so proud about a few little broken fish?"
The middle-aged man thought she was sick and stopped talking.
Instead, he looked down at Jiang Ning and the others. His face flashed with nostalgia. He had not experienced such simple and simple happiness for a long time.
…
Xue Yuantong picked out the smallest fish, threw them into the ditch, and released them.
It's too small and doesn't taste strong enough.
Several girls picked up all the slightly larger fish into the basin.
The nets in the canals continued to catch fish, but because they had harvested something, no one mentioned going home and waiting.
Well, I'm also afraid that the blocker will be carried away by others.
Xue Yuantong waited for the next net with great interest.
Bai Yuxia's eyes moved towards the rushing water, as if she wanted to see the fish at the bottom of the water through the water.
Chen Siyu and her sister Chen Siqing squatted on the ground, observing a dozen fish in the basin.
The twins were full of joy. They participated personally and caught fish. They felt full and felt great inner satisfaction.
The fish swims in the water and spits out a string of small bubbles.
Chen Siyu suddenly asked: "Sister, why do fish spit bubbles?"
Chen Siqing thought for ten seconds and said: "I understand, I understand."
She explained: "You have studied chemistry, right? Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. The fish's lungs break down the water and turn it into hydrogen and oxygen, so bubbles appear."
After hearing this, Chen Siyu was silent for half a minute, thoughtfully:
"Since fish can decompose hydrogen gas, then if I have enough fish and water, wouldn't I be able to make a hydrogen bomb?"
