While Feng Yi was thinking about how to explain, the people who came out to look for him finally arrived.
Hearing the cries from afar, he thought that something serious had happened. The parents of the two children turned pale with fright. The fire they were holding in their hearts was extinguished in an instant. No matter how angry they were, they could not protect their children.
However, when they rushed over and found that the two of them were safe and sound, but were frightened and crying, the anger that had been extinguished just now started to burn again!
He is busy teaching the children on the spot, while the people from the property management office and the residents who are helping to search are focusing on another place at this time.
When I came over, the first thing I looked at was definitely the place where the cry came from, which was Cao Xing. The second thing I paid attention to was Feng Yi and the big fish next to Feng Yi.
“I’m going! What is this!” an owner screamed after shining his flashlight on it.
“Is this a water monster?” Another owner strode over, but felt it was unsafe to get too close, so he took two steps back.
Suddenly seeing such a big fish late at night, no one can remain calm.
“Look at this mouth and this body shape, it’s totally fine...” The speaker looked at the fish, then at the two children who were still crying next to him, and did not continue.
Several employees from the property management department came over at this time. They had just spoken to the management office and learned about the matter from Brother Wang.
Looked at the fish on the ground in amazement, "It is indeed three meters tall by visual inspection!"
“I heard from Brother Wang that if the fish is definitely a catfish, the prize will be 150,000 yuan!”
"sharp!"
As he spoke, he asked Feng Yi, who was standing next to him and waving his arms.
“Brother Wang said, you saved these two children and you caught this fish, is that true? You caught such a big fish by yourself?”
There are many places to fish near Yue Mountain. They usually go fishing together in groups. Even bigger fish require a lot of effort. The three-meter-large fish in front of them is simply unimaginable!
If he were replaced by a tall, mighty and tank-like man, it would still be somewhat credible, but Feng Yi's figure is definitely not a strong one, and it is really doubtful.
Feng Yi moved his arms, his face showed even more exquisite acting skills than when he was acting in the web drama, and his tone was even more proud, "No! But it's just good luck. This fish may be weak and easy to catch, plus
I usually focus on strength training when doing fitness, but the river bank is wet and slippery, and the friction is low, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to drag it up. Emma, I’m so exhausted that my arms are almost broken!”
Not far away, Cao Xing and Cao Xing, who were being punished, choked with tears and looked at Feng Yi in shock and fear.
He happened to meet Feng Yi’s gaze looking this way.
The two of them shivered, hugged their respective parents' legs and began to howl.
In fact, after everyone came here, flashlights and lamps illuminated the surroundings very brightly, and people's expressions can be seen clearly.
There was really no threat in the look Feng Yi gave him. He just thought that it was so dark before, and for ordinary people, seeing people with just a little bit of moonlight would be blurry. Even if the two children could see,
How clearly can you see?
So Feng Yi was not afraid of what they said. What could two frightened children see clearly at night without turning on the flashlight? How credible are their words?
Up to now, the two of them can only cry and talk about "water monsters". They are children who demonize and exaggerate everything they see. The credibility of what they say is indeed not high.
Therefore, Feng Yi really didn't feel the need to threaten these two children.
However, Feng Yi's flat look, which he thought had no threatening meaning, frightened the two of them who were thinking, "The big monster will eat people after beating the little monster."
Usually, the mouthful of quibbled thieves, now I ca n’t speak clearly, I just crying and crying after howling. Everyone is only frightened by them tonight, and there is a psychological shadow.
The parents of the two children quickly took them back, and there was probably a mixed doubles game waiting for them.
However, there were more people by the river. After hearing the news, some residents could not bear their curiosity and came out to watch the fun while carrying mosquito bites.
The story of Cao Xing and Cao Xing sneaking out through the wall has long been spread among the property owners. Some people were impatient to see what these two naughty boys did, but suddenly someone posted a photo of the three-meter-long
Big catfish.
Those who were going to sleep in a group suddenly woke up. They were not interested in talking about naughty children, but they would not be sleepy if you talked about this!
Someone asked for a place and went to see the fish while wearing clothes.
In fact, there hasn't been any big news in the community over the past few years. There are just a few things happening over and over again. The sudden appearance of a three-meter-long fish has become a hot news in the community.
Brother Wang from the property management team and others also ran to the scene after someone replaced them.
However, when they saw the real thing, their idea of catching fish to make money was shaken.
Can I really catch it?
Such a big fish can pull people into the water even before people can drag it ashore. Even if I am lucky enough to catch it, my arm will be crippled, right?
It’s not cost-effective to lose two arms for 150,000 yuan! It’s not worth it!
Fishing?
Even if you can catch this kind of fish, you have to rely on a boat to walk the fish!
So, after seeing the real thing, many people did believe what Feng Yi said, "This fish may be weak."
The property manager took photos and reported them to the relevant departments. After getting a reply, he planned to use a car to drag the fish back to the management office. Someone had already built a temporary pond there. Then he only had to wait for the person in charge to come over tomorrow for appraisal.
This fish was so big that four or five people worked together to carry it into the car, and they were all sweaty from exhaustion.
When the group of people were moving the fish, Feng Yi was watching from the side. His current persona was that of a fish hauler with pain in his arms, excessive fatigue, and lack of physical strength. When he went back, he also went back in a car.
The real estate agent also specially asked someone to come over and check his arm. It was an aunt who worked in a nearby hospital.
"Nothing's wrong. Young people are just in good health. If you're worried, you can go to a big hospital for a detailed examination tomorrow. By the way, when you go back tonight, check if there are any other wounds on your body. If there are wounds, you still have to deal with them as soon as possible to prevent them.
Bacterial infection." The aunt said.
Hearing this, Feng Yi also had a look of relief on his face.
After dragging the fish away, the property management erected several warning signs by the river to prevent others from running to the river to commit suicide. No one knows if there is another fish of this size in the river.
Many people didn't sleep well that night. From time to time, people went to the pond at the property management office to watch the fish. Photos taken from various angles were sent to the owner group, and then forwarded to other family and friend groups, gossip groups, etc.
wait.
So, when Feng Yi woke up the next day, he smelled the scent of strangers in the community.
Feng Yi called the property management company and asked when the appraiser would come and if there were any more procedures needed.
The property manager told him that the person responsible for the identification would be here soon. If it was indeed a catfish and there were no problems with its length and weight, the bonus would be paid out within 24 hours, so there was no need to worry.
Feng Yi thought to himself: I'm not in a hurry, I'm just thinking about how I should answer if the person who appraises him still asks questions.
Racked his brains, Feng Yi thought of several answers, and waited for the person who would be appraising him to ask questions later.
Since there was nothing wrong in the morning, Feng Yi went out and went to the temporary pool next to the property management office after looking in the mirror to make sure there was nothing unusual.
At this time, although the property has been surrounded by three fences, the number of people watching the fish is gradually increasing.
There was an old man in his 70s standing by the pool talking.
"This is the European catfish! I have caught it before! But at that time I only caught one that was over one meter, and less than two meters, which is far worse than this one!"
The uncle spoke modestly, but his face was full of pride. How many of the people around here have caught a fish as big as one meter long?!
Listening to the exclamations from all around, the uncle coughed lightly, and seeing everyone's attention focused again, he continued, "The bonus is nothing now! Five or six years ago, the three-meter catfish at that time
The reward was 500,000 yuan! Everyone rushed to catch fish on the river, accidentally injuring other rare fish, and even killing people. Later, new regulations were issued and the reward was reduced. Private fishing was not encouraged.
“It’s too dangerous to catch big fish like this privately, especially those bluefish. Before the fish is caught, I will probably be dragged into the water! 150,000 yuan may only subsidize the medical expenses!
“I heard that four or five meters have been seen in other places!”
As the uncle said, someone asked: "Is this really an invasive species?"
"No!" the uncle said excitedly, "This thing was introduced before the abnormal climate period. At first, it was introduced and domesticated as an economic fish. During the abnormal climate period, there were many people praying to gods and Buddhas, and some people bought them.
I caught a batch of European catfish fry and ran to release them, but they were all dumped into the river!
“At that time, there happened to be an expert group that was guiding work on ecosystems. When I heard about this, six out of ten professors went to the hospital angrily. Two of them were older than me. They issued a critical illness notice upon entering the hospital. Alas!”
When it comes to indiscriminate release and invasive species, everyone knows the seriousness of the matter.
“Should those who release wild animals like this be punished?” someone asked.
"Definitely!" the uncle said, "after investigating this matter, the man who released the catfish was sent to jail!"
“That’s right! Don’t release them randomly. Even if they are not invasive species, the four domestic fishes cannot be released randomly!” someone said.
“That’s not merit! That’s evil! It’s greed for merit! Making merit is good, but greed for merit is evil! Alas!” An aunt turned the beads on her wrist, shook her head and sighed.
Over the past few years, everyone’s awareness of ecological and environmental protection has also increased.
Seeing the big fish in front of you, and talking about invasive species, everyone will understand that a monster-level fish like this is big, grows fast, and is not picky about food. In the past few years, the native fish have probably had a miserable life during the invasion.
.
A young man scratched his hair and whispered: "Such a big catfish...can you eat it?"
The uncle smacked his lips and said, "The earthy smell is too strong and it's unpalatable!"
“Add some Sichuan peppercorns and some garlic? Or stew eggplant?”
“No! When I think that this fish may have eaten the carcass in the river, I lose my appetite. It’s not a famine. If there are so many delicious fish to eat, why should I eat this?”
