Damn it, I'm sacrificing the main goal for the sake of the trivial!

What's the point of using a fishing net to catch fish!

Isn't this the best bait?

This reminds him of those videos he saw in the future of people selling fish bait.

Put some special bait in the water, and soon there will be many fish coming to snatch and eat the bait. Isn't that the same principle?

After figuring this out, he instantly found a way to accumulate wealth.

But there are limitations to this method.

It definitely won't work in a flowing river, the bait will be washed away immediately.

The water pond in the village won't work either, nor will the nearby reservoir, as those belong to the public and it would be troublesome if someone caught him.

Lao Gua Tan!

The only place nearby that might have big fish, and it's a stagnant water pond, is Lao Gua Tan.

It's famous for a reason.

Because it's a place where adults scare children.

They say there are water monkeys inside that eat people, and if you go in, you'll be pulled into the water and won't be able to come up.

They say it with great detail.

Just like when someone shouts at you on a dark night and tells you not to turn back, it's equally detailed. What happened to who, who, who.

Yang Xiaole doesn't care about these things.

It's just that the place is a bit far, near the mountains on the west side of Da Fang Zhuang, it takes about two hours to walk.

Last summer, he was really bored and went to the mountains with these kids to look for mushrooms and such.

He couldn't stand it when he got nearby.

His body was too weak and he couldn't walk anymore.

Although his body is still weak now, it's not like before.

Thinking of this, he gets excited.

He doesn't make a fuss, but quietly starts eating.

After eating, Yang Guangzhi went to the production brigade, and Wang Qiuju finally had the chance to take a nap at noon.

"Eldest Brother, take them to sleep!"

Wang Qiuju instructs, then takes Big Sister and Little Sister to the next room to sleep.

"Mom, Teacher Luo asked me to go to his place this afternoon. He said he's also going to the capital tomorrow and has something to tell me."

Yang Xiaole is still planning to find an excuse to go out.

Wang Qiuju is suspicious: "Didn't he just come this morning?"

"I don't know, that's what he said."

After Yang Xiaole finishes speaking, he innocently looks at her.

Seeing his expression, Wang Qiuju thinks that Third Brother has never lied to her, so there might really be something going on.

Then she nods: "Alright, go ahead and come back early."

Usually, they go to school by themselves, so Wang Qiuju isn't worried.

After hearing his mother's approval, he happily leaves the courtyard.

Behind him, Fourth Brother pouts, feeling aggrieved because he also wants to go, he can't sleep at all.

But under the persuasion of Eldest Brother, he still goes back to his room.

...

Yang Xiaole leaves the courtyard and runs towards Da Fang Zhuang, he needs to hurry!

Eight or nine kilometers, it's quite fast to ride a bike in the future, it only takes about ten minutes by car, but walking is truly agonizing.

Mainly because his body doesn't allow it.

He's exhausted from walking for over an hour to school every day, he doesn't want to move.

Two hours is his limit.

Luckily, he didn't return the fishing net.

He runs and walks along the way, resting whenever he's tired and drinking well water in the space to regain some strength.

After an hour, he crosses the edge of Da Fang Zhuang and heads towards the mountains.

The mountains now are densely covered with forests, and occasionally he can see small animals running around and birds flying in the sky.

But he has no ability to catch any of them!

Following the road from his memory, he climbs over several small hills and spends over an hour, finally arriving near Lao Gua Tan in the mountains.

He encounters many children on the way, they must be from the nearby mountains.

He doesn't pay attention to them.

The control is not that strict yet, it's fine for someone from the village to come and go, but it will be really strict after this year.

"Slap, slap, slap!"

He slaps away several mosquitoes that were crawling on him, then continues walking forward.

The mosquitoes on the road are simply too numerous.

Pushing aside the branches blocking the way, Yang Xiaole finally sees a water pond about the size of four or five houses.

There's also a shallow water area next to it, which is a small stream leading downstream. There used to be water flowing down, but now there's no trace of water at all.

It's completely dried up.

Standing near the water pond, Yang Xiaole surveys the surroundings.

He goes to the nearby bushes and quietly releases the fishing net, then takes off his straw shoes and carefully approaches the tail of the water pond.

As soon as his foot touches the water, bubbles start to rise from the muddy bottom!

This is the shallow water area, and it gets deeper the further you go.

When it reaches his knees, Yang Xiaole doesn't dare to go any further.

Mainly because his body is too weak, otherwise he could swim for a while.

After confirming, he took out some well water and sprinkled it into the water pool.

Immediately, the nearby small fish swarmed over.

Yang Xiaole didn't pay attention to these small fish. He already had enough in his space. What he wanted was big fish.

This water pool was about seventy to eighty square meters, and in all these years, there were basically no people catching fish here. It was impossible for there to be no big fish inside.

However, after a while, his brows furrowed.

There were quite a few small fish and shrimps, really a lot, but it seemed that there were no big fish!

"Huh!"

Yang Xiaole looked at the clear water area next to him, and a three or four catty yellow eel emerged, its entire body golden with faint black spots.

This thing is good!

If he could stew it with some cured meat, the taste would be perfect.

Unfortunately, there was no cured meat!

Without paying attention to the yellow eel, it approached on its own, and he might not even be able to catch it.

While surveying the surroundings to prevent anyone from coming, he watched the movements in the lake.

He felt that the well water might not be enough.

He took another ladle of water, took a sip himself, poured most of it into the nearby area, and threw the rest into the water pool not far away.

He scooped up a handful of water and wet his body.

Because this spot was directly exposed to the sun.

It was too hot.

His skin felt a bit painful from the sun.

Maybe the well water was enough. There were quite a few big fish weighing two or three jin splashing around there from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaole felt happy.

It seemed that he had found the right method.

Two or three jin was already considered a big fish.

Perhaps because there was more well water in the shallow water area, they crowded in here more and more.

"Ah! I'm going to strike it rich!"

Yang Xiaole's face was filled with excitement as he began to fish.

As soon as the net went down, it scared away the fish nearby, but they swam back after a while.

Yang Xiaole pulled up the net in advance, and inside were seven or eight two or three jin big fish.

There were also quite a few small fish mixed in.

He reached into the net and felt around for a while, then put all the fish into his space.

As for whether they would die or not, he didn't care now. If they couldn't survive, he would make them into dried fish.

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

But he had to do it quickly. It shouldn't be a problem for them to survive. The problem was that he didn't have enough fish tanks to raise them all!

It seemed that digging a water pit was inevitable!

He fished for three or four nets in a row, and there were a lot fewer fish in front of him. He quietly climbed up the bank and hid in the nearby grass.

Then he entered his space again.

At this time, there were quite a few fish flopping around on the ground in his space. Some had stopped flopping, but they were still alive.

There were also seven or eight two or three catty big yellow eels wriggling their bodies like water snakes, trying to escape everywhere.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole quickly stuffed these fish into a large fish tank, regardless of whether they would be crowded or lack oxygen.

After finishing, he looked at the fish tank that had almost no water left, only fish.

He thought for a moment and tried to command the shovel to dig a hole in the field.

"Clang!"

As he thought, the shovel plunged into the soil and directly lifted a large piece of it.

Yang Xiaole saw this scene and felt happy.

He quickly commanded the shovel to dig the hole.

After more than half an hour, a large water pit with a width of three meters, a length of two meters, and a depth of fifty centimeters appeared in front of him.

After finishing, Yang Xiaole felt a bit dizzy in his head.

He didn't think much about it, shook off his thoughts, and poured all the fish and the water from the fish tank into the water pit.

Immediately, the water became turbid.

But now it immediately became much more spacious.

After finishing, he quietly left the space.

He squatted in the grass and looked around, making sure that there was no one nearby before quietly feeling his way out.

"Fuck!"

After not coming out for more than half an hour, Yang Xiaole was startled when he saw the fish in the shallow water area.

He saw that the shallow water area was densely packed with countless big and small fish.

The most eye-catching were several big blue fish.

The largest one was at least one meter and eighty centimeters long, and who knows how heavy it was. It probably weighed at least a hundred or so jin.

Bigger than him!

No, fucking bigger than his father!

There were also three or four fish that were about one meter long.

There were so many five or six jin, ten or so jin fish that he couldn't even count them.

And among them, he naturally noticed a super large turtle and several big yellow eels as thick as arms.

With excitement, he looked around.

After confirming that there was no one, he directly ran into the water.

"Splash!"

As he entered the water, the movements inside became louder and louder.

The big fish were wriggling their bodies, like a bulldozer, pushing away the big fish.

However, since it was the shallow water area, the more they struggled, the deeper they sank.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole sprinkled some well water and began to feel for the fish.

First, he dealt with the big turtle the size of a basin. This thing could bite people, and there were quite a few medium-sized turtles nearby.

Without using a fishing net, he grabbed it with one hand and threw it directly into his space after feeling it.

Next were the medium and small-sized fish. He had to catch them. He needed to exchange them for money with seven or eight jin fish!He was incapable of handling those big fish!

He could only store them in his space for now.

Every fish that he had caught with his hands was thrown directly into the space, none of them could escape.

His speed was incredibly fast.

Even the old Yellow Eel, which was as big as a python, was thrown into the space before it had a chance to struggle and escape.

After that, he targeted the remaining big fish.

One by one, he sent them into the space.

Especially the largest green fish, it was his main focus.

Then he threw the largest fish into the space, looked around, there were still quite a few big fish weighing two or three pounds, but he was no longer interested in them.

Mainly because the water pit in the space was probably going to be full again.

He calculated the time, it had been about four hours since he left home, it was about time to go back, he estimated that it would be late when he got home.

Thinking of this, he ignored the other fish and walked towards the deep water area.

Not until the water reached his chest, did he dive into the water and enter the space.

He needed to fill the water pit.

In the space, Yang Xiaole looked at the fish of various sizes jumping around, and the big Yellow Eel slithering around.

He quickly sent these things into the water pit.

Suddenly, the pit was almost full, and the originally scarce water was now like thin mud.

As for the Yellow Eel, he put it in a large water tank.

There were more than thirty Yellow Eels of various sizes, the smallest one was as thick as a thumb, weighing about three or four ounces, the largest one was almost as big as his arm, weighing two or three pounds.

As for the dozen or so big turtles crawling around, he didn't bother with them, let them crawl wherever they wanted!

He could find them later, anyway, there was water here, so they wouldn't die of thirst.

After that, he came to the edge of the water pit.

He took out a wooden bucket and repeatedly entered and exited the space, quickly filling the water in the pit.

Seeing the fish lying motionless inside, he finally relaxed.

If they died, they would be worthless.

After thinking for a while, he added some spring water to prevent these creatures from dying.

After that, he felt a little itchy on his leg.

Turning over his calf, a long and black leech was feasting on his blood!

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

He couldn't pull it off, so he slapped it several times before the leech finally fell off quietly.

He ignored it, leaving it to dry out on its own.

He checked again and found two more leeches.

After making sure there were no more, he took some water to clean himself, then quietly exited the space.

Seeing a few fish still swimming around, he ignored them and headed straight home.

Not long after he left, a group of children came to the old crow pond, seeing so many fish by the pond, they immediately shouted that they were rich.

They jumped into the water to catch fish.

Yang Xiaole didn't know about this, if he did, he would probably be more careful next time.

But what he didn't know was that he had already swept all the big fish in the deep pond today.

After all, the pond was only so big.

Walking on the road, Yang Xiaole was very pleased.

At least he wouldn't lack fish for a while.

The big green fish in the space was probably worth more than his father Yang Guangzhi's gold.

Two hours later, he finally returned home with a rumbling stomach.

But his brows were furrowed.

As soon as he arrived home, there was a commotion inside the house.
