"Xiaodong, you want to go into the lake? Don't, it's too dangerous!" Lin Xiaodong's mother stopped her with a worried look on her face. The lake is quite deep, and who knows if there is really something scary down there.
Second Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu also said with concern: "Yes, Xiaodong, it's too dangerous for you to go down by yourself. Why don't you find some villages with good water to go down."
Lin Xiaodong said with a relaxed smile: "Don't worry, Mom, Second Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu, there are no ghosts in this world. I'll go down and take a look and come up. It'll be fine. Didn't I always go down to this lake to take a bath when I was a kid?"
It has been common for children who grew up in mountain villages to go to the mountains and lakes since they were young, so the mother and others no longer stopped them.
In fact, Lin Xiaodong thought that even if there were ghosts, he would not be afraid. If there were water ghosts, he would collect them together. Maybe they could help him look after his home and protect his home.
Lin Xiaodong took off his clothes and jumped into the lake with his big pants on. Many villagers around him were watching and waiting to see what Lin Xiaodong would find when he went into the lake.
Lin Xiaodong grew up in a mountain village and has always been good at water. Now he has practiced the Art of Mercy. After entering the water, he found that he was very comfortable even without breathing, so he quickly swam towards the water.
The water in Qingshui Lake is extremely clear. Even when you reach the bottom, you can still see the scenery in front of you. There are many fish swimming at the bottom of the lake, and there are even some freshwater crabs and lobsters.
At this time, Lin Xiaodong's eyes fell on the gap between the rocks at the bottom of the lake, where a black figure swam quickly. Lin Xiaodong immediately chased after it, and was surprised to find that it turned out to be a giant salamander! Lin Xiaodong suddenly laughed. No wonder Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu
They heard the sound of a child crying, and it turned out that the giant salamander was causing trouble! They didn’t expect that the water quality of Qingshui Lake was so good, and there were even wild salamanders. You must know that wild salamanders
However, it is a national second-level protected animal and an endangered species. It is very rare. Moreover, the meat of giant salamander is extremely delicious and has a strong medicinal effect. It has the effects of nourishing yin and kidneys, nourishing blood and promoting qi, and the price is quite considerable. Although the body is
Nationally protected animals cannot be caught and sold, but they can be used
The wild salamander went to breed second and third generations for sale. After finding the cause of the child's cry, Lin Xiaodong planned to go ashore, but then Lin Xiaodong found a cave at the bottom of the lake not far away. Lin Xiaodong became curious and swam over to check. If it had been Lin Xiaodong before.
I dare not do this, but now
Lin Xiaodong has practiced the Art of Mercy and can stay in the water for a long time.
The cave at the bottom of the lake was almost one person wide, just enough for Lin Xiaodong to swim in. The long and dark cave gave people a sense of fear.
After swimming for about fifty meters, my eyes suddenly became clear. There was actually a dark lake inside!
As soon as he entered, Lin Xiaodong felt that the temperature of the lake was more than ten degrees higher than the temperature outside, and the spiritual energy in the water was also more abundant. It seemed that the spiritual energy in the clear water lake outside might flow out from this dark lake.
Lin Xiaodong saw many rare fish here, including shad!
Anchovy is a migratory fish that usually lives in the sea. It only returns to spawn in early summer when the river water temperature reaches about 20 to 22 degrees.
Anchovies are delicious and have extremely high nutritional value. In ancient times, they were a delicacy specially provided to the palace and were rarely eaten outside. However, precisely because anchovies are scarce and their meat is delicious, intensive fishing has led to the crisis of extinction of anchovies.
.Now the price of artificially raised shad can reach 150 to 300 yuan per pound, and if it is wild shad, it can be as high as 200 yuan.
The price ranges from 0 to 5,000 yuan, but wild anchovies were almost extinct as early as the 1980s, and are now completely invisible on the market.
Lin Xiaodong never expected that there would be shad in the dark lake of Qingshui Lake. So is there a dark river connecting the dark lake to the sea?
Although it sounds exaggerated, it is not impossible. Lianhai City is a coastal city, and Qingshan Village is only more than 20 kilometers away from the sea. This is entirely possible.
Lin Xiaodong swam in the dark lake for a while and found that there were a lot of shad here. If they could be raised and reproduced, this would be an extremely huge wealth!
Lin Xiaodong caught seven or eight shad in the dark lake and wrapped them in his own clothes, then returned to Qingshui Lake to catch a giant salamander and returned to the lake.
"Xiaodong is back!"
At this time, it had been five minutes since Lin Xiaodong went to the bottom of the lake. Everyone on the shore was anxious, especially Lin Xiaodong's parents and Lin Xiaodong's father, who had already gone down to the lake to find their son.
Seeing Lin Xiaodong's head emerging from the lake, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiaodong, your ability to hold your breath is good, have you been in the lake for five minutes?" Old Guo Tou, the best water-loving man in the village, gave Lin Xiaodong a thumbs up.
They all thought Lin Xiaodong had drowned in the lake. Who could hold his breath for five minutes? This is incredible.
.
Lin Xiaodong grinned and said: "I also grew up by the lake, so it's not surprising that the water is better."
"Xiaodong, are there any water ghosts underwater?" Several timid villagers asked anxiously.
Lin Xiaodong smiled mysteriously and said: "The cry of the child heard by Aunt Second Wang and Aunt Liu did come from the bottom of the lake."
"Ah? Is there really a ghost in this lake?" Everyone was shocked when they heard what Lin Xiaodong said, and shouted in horror.
Lin Xiaodong's mother was also scared and said: "Xiaodong, what did you see? What is going on? Don't scare people."
Lin Xiaodong suddenly laughed, put the caught salamander on the ground and said: "I only said that the crying came from the lake, but I didn't say that the crying came from ghosts. You see, this is
What."
We are all from the mountains. We know nothing about high-tech things, but we are very knowledgeable about animals and plants. We immediately recognized the giant salamander.
"Isn't this a giant salamander? There is actually a giant salamander in our village?"
"Yeah, no wonder I heard the child crying. It turns out it's the giant salamander causing trouble. Now we don't have to worry. There are no ghosts in this lake at all."
When everyone found out the reason for the crying children in the lake, they were no longer afraid, but became happy. This giant salamander is a very rare species and is said to be worth a lot of money. Lin Xiaodong said to the villagers with an extremely serious face: "Everyone
Listen to me quietly. Although we have found giant salamanders in Qingshui Lake, we must not catch them privately. This has nothing to do with whether I contracted Qingshui Lake. I, Lin Xiaodong, will never stop the villagers from fishing in Qingshui Lake, even if I contract it.
Qingshui Lake, this Qingshui Lake is still the wealth of our whole village! However, the salamander is a national second-class protected animal. It is illegal to catch the salamander privately, and we should also
It’s time to protect the natural environment of Qingshan Village!”
When Lin Xiaodong said this, many villagers in the crowd showed dissatisfaction. When they saw the salamanders, they immediately wanted to go back to the lake to catch a few, either to eat themselves or to sell them for money.
But Lin Xiaodong refused to allow fishing, which made them very unhappy. "Why not allow fishing? Why are we not allowed to eat the fish that grows in the lake? We villagers don't know if outsiders eat them, so who cares? Lin Xiaodong, are you planning on doing that?"
Are you going to take these giant salamanders as your own?" Zhang Erhu stood up and shouted.
