Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 408 Come and Catch the Big Fish
"Uncle, be careful." Little Nuomi also shouted, and at the same time picked up a big brick and threw it at the big black fish.

Xiao Taoqi, Yaomei, Wang Ba, Jin Yutou, Wang Ba and Ye Qubing were all so frightened that they didn't know what to do for a moment.

After all, they have never seen a fish bite a person since they were little.

But Liu Qingsong did not feel scared or nervous, he was even very calm.

While he was dodging the bite of the big black fish, he did not forget to punch the fish's head hard.

Liu Qingsong's punch now has the force of a thousand pounds, but normally he doesn't use even one ten-thousandth of it in order to hide his strength.

This time the big black fish was so arrogant that he forgot to hide his strength for a moment.

So this punch directly smashed the big black fish into the bottom of the river, and then it was blown away by the river water and fell onto the shore with a plop.

Zhou Meiling, Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, Xiao Taoqi, Tao Guoqing and others on the shore had no way to escape and were all soaked.

Among them, Liu Hualei, Xiao Nuomi and Xiao Taoqi were hit by the big black fish and fell to the ground in great pain.

But Little Nuomi and Little Taoqi didn't cry. Instead, they both lay on the back of the big black fish and shouted, "Come and catch the big fish, fish... I caught it!"

"Well, don't let it run away. We're going to use it to make soup tonight."

Upon hearing this, Yaomei, Wang Ba, Jin Yutou and Ye Qubing pressed on the big black fish one after another without hesitation.

Anyway, I'm already soaked now, so it doesn't matter if I get a little dirtier.

Zhou Meiling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when watching this scene.

Liu Hualei and Tao Guoqing looked into the river and saw Liu Qingsong climbing up the shore in a panic. They said:
"Go back and change your clothes quickly, or you will catch a cold."

"That's right, we'll take the big fish and the fishing gear."

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded, and after taking a look at Diaozi River, he rubbed his hands and ran towards his doorstep.

Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, Xiao Taoqi and other children got up and saw that the big black fish was dead. They did not stay at the river bank and chased after Liu Qingsong one after another.

After changing clothes, I warmed myself by the fire for half an hour.

Xiao Nuomi and other children finally recovered from the freezing and numbness.

But Liu Qingsong, Liu Hualei and Zhou Meiling did not make a fire, but started to prepare the big grass carp and black fish in the kitchen.

This big black fish is a catfish. It is over two meters long and weighs at least 100 kilograms.

Zhou Meiling was a little scared when she saw the big black catfish: "Qingsong, when did such a big fish appear in Diaozi River?"

"Yes! In the past, the largest catfish was only fifty or sixty kilograms, and that was only seen when the river was dry." Liu Hualei followed with a sentence.

"How would I know that?" Liu Qingsong chopped off the fish head with a knife, then picked it up and threw it into a large porcelain bowl. "But we can eat it without worry. This big catfish is not poisonous."

Say so.

In fact, he was not sure either.

Before his rebirth, the largest fish that came out of Diaozi River was a carp weighing more than 90 kilograms. As for big catfish, there were some, but none weighed more than 100 kilograms.

The fish he killed today not only weighed more than 100 pounds, but was also very fierce and could bite people. This was not a good sign for him.

"Of course I know that catfish are not poisonous." Liu Hualei rolled up his sleeves and helped: "Qingsong, there is so much fish meat that we can't finish eating. Let's send some to Lijuan and Chunhua later, and also send some to your uncle and third uncle's families."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded, "But how do we get to my second sister's house? Riding a sidecar in the snow is not an option, and a bicycle can only be pushed. Only a jeep is safer."

"But we don't have a jeep at home, and the Ye family may not come back to lend it to us in the heavy snow."

If you walk.

It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

The Dongfanghong Farmers Market is so far away.

If you walk here until dark, you won’t be able to reach that place.

"Then let's wait a few days and put the catfish meat in the refrigerator first. Our refrigerator is big anyway." Liu Hualei expressed his thoughts.

"Okay, I'll send some wild boar meat over when the time comes." After Liu Qingsong said that, he swung the kitchen knife to chop the big catfish into pieces, then put them in a porcelain bowl and handed it to Zhou Meiling.

Ten minutes later, the big catfish and grass carp were all chopped into pieces and put into the refrigerator.

Because Tao Guoqing was helping at the riverside before, Zhou Meiling said goodbye to Liu Qingsong and then went to Pangdun's house carrying a half-filled porcelain basin of catfish meat.

Liu Qingsong did not go to warm himself by the fire. He said something to Liu Hualei and walked towards the Diaozi River.

I didn't have any other intentions, I just wanted to see where the catfish weighing over 100 kilograms came from.

The ice that was previously broken by the big catfish has now solidified into blocks again. Liu Qingsong stepped on it carefully, and no cracks appeared.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Liu Qingsong waved his hands to form a circular water shield around himself, then stomped on the ice and jumped directly into the river.

The river water did not swallow Liu Qingsong, but automatically "made way" for it, allowing Liu Qingsong to walk leisurely on the bottom of Diaozi River.

This is the ability of the Water Control Bead. Liu Qingsong was already familiar with it, so he did not feel strange or surprised at all, but walked quickly towards the riverbed in front.

There are a lot of fish swimming in the river, including big grass carp, big carp, and schools of crucian carp.

There are also catfish and carp, but not many and they are not big.

This made Liu Qingsong even more confused. Just as he was about to use the power of the Water Control Pearl to catch a catfish to study it, a big hole appeared in the riverbed in front of him.

The pit is bottomless and there are many big fish swimming in it.

Among them, there were dozens of large catfish weighing more than 100 kilograms, and one of them was over three meters long.

And around the big catfish, there are schools of wild carp.

The weight of these carps is at least over three kilograms, and some may even weigh more than five kilograms.

Liu Qingsong gasped when he saw this scene. Just as he was about to go into the pit to check the situation, he heard the voices of several hunting villagers talking on the river bank.

Although the sound was not loud, Liu Qingsong at the bottom of the river could tell that these villagers were from the toad production team.

In other words, he unknowingly followed the Diaozi River to the Toad Production Team.

No wonder the Huaishu production team did not find the big pit when they were dredging Diaozi River. It turns out that this is the reason.

Liu Qingsong waited until the hunting villagers on the river bank walked away before he carefully walked into the pit.

The bottom of the pit could not be seen with the naked eye, but as Liu Qingsong sank quickly, he took out a military flashlight and shone it inside, and soon he saw the bottom of the pit.

The bottom of the pit was icy cold, and even with the water shield protecting him, Liu Qingsong could still feel the chill.

But the big catfish, carp and big carp inside were not afraid of the cold at all, and some were even chewing on algae to eat.

There are quite a few animal skeletons among these algae, which look a bit creepy.

Liu Qingsong walked over, picked up one of the skeletons and took a look. He was surprised to find that it was actually the skeleton of a rat.

This is not the point. The point is that the mouse skeleton is several times larger than normal.

In other words, the catfish, carp and mullet in Diaozi River can grow so big, maybe it is because they have eaten the dead rats.

After coming to this conclusion, Liu Qingsong even collected the skeletons in the algae, then threw out the chain to catch big catfish, big carp, and carp in the big pit.

These fish are not caught for eating.

Instead, I want to take it back for liquid robots to study.

When he had captured almost all the monsters, he did not go home, but directly let the guardian vine teleport into the garbage dump of all worlds.

Wow! The next second, Liu Qingsong appeared in the main hall of the Seven Realms Boat.

After removing the water shield, Liu Qingsong took out all the caught fish and mouse skeletons from the space backpack, and then explained his purpose to the liquid robot.

After the liquid robot understood, it took a piece of mouse skeleton and started studying it at the workbench without saying a word.

After a while, the results came out. The skeletons of these mice actually contained the ingredients of the tree elves' super ripening fertilizer.

What does this mean? It means that the mouse must have stolen food from Liu Qingsong's house before it died, such as vegetables from the vegetable garden, rice from the barn, or honey pomelo from the pomelo tree.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the mouse bones to contain the tree elf's super-ripening fertilizer ingredients.

Since catfish, carp and catfish ate the dead mice, it was normal for them to mutate and grow several times larger.

Liu Qingsong was somewhat amused when he learned this conclusion: "In this case, the fish I just caught at home can be eaten. There is nothing to worry about."

"Yes." The liquid robot confirmed.

“I’ll take these dozen or so fish back, and you can ask Shi Hao to roast the big catfish and the big carp.” Liu Qingsong said as he found a thin hemp rope, strung up all the fish, and then quickly walked towards the exit of the Wanjie garbage dump.

...in the kitchen.

Zhou Meiling is already cooking dinner.

Seeing Liu Qingsong coming back with a dozen or so catties weighing two or three pounds on a hemp rope, he was surprised and asked, "Where did you get these catties?"

In the past, it was rare to see a fish weighing more than one and a half kilograms, but now Liu Qingsong had actually strung together more than a dozen fish weighing two or three kilograms with a hemp rope. This was too unbelievable for her.

"Of course I fished by the river." Liu Qingsong said perfunctorily with a smile.

"Is that so?" Zhou Meiling had no doubt: "Oh, right! Your dad is looking for you everywhere! Now that you are back, go to Pangdun's house to find him."

"What do you want from me?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"Zhou Yiyi and Zhou Chuanxiong haven't returned from Tiger Mountain yet. Your father is worried that something happened to them, so he wants you to lead a team to the mountain to find them." Zhou Meiling replied softly.

"No way?" Liu Qingsong started to have a headache: "Then Mom, you pickle these fish, I'll go to Pangdun's house to find Dad."

"Okay! Okay!" Zhou Meiling nodded repeatedly.

Liu Qingsong washed his hands and turned away.

After a while, they arrived at Pangdun's house.

When I asked Old Jiang, Ye Xiaoxiao and Yamei who were warming themselves by the fire at the door, I learned that my father, uncle and third uncle had already set out for Tiger Mountain half an hour ago.

Liu Qingsong took a look at the sky and saw that it was gloomy and it seemed that it was going to snow heavily again. He said something to Old Jiang, then took his equipment and headed towards Tiger Mountain with Xiao Heikui.

With Little Black Pants following him, Liu Qingsong soon found the footprints left by his father at the foot of Tiger Mountain.

But strangely, the footprints in front suddenly disappeared, and no human figure could be seen.

Out of caution, Liu Qingsong walked carefully to the place where the footprints disappeared and took a look.

There was nothing to discover at first, but Xiao Heikui started barking wildly towards the big tree on the right.

Liu Qingsong looked at the big tree, and when he saw a hand exposed in the snow, he quickly ran over.

Before I got close, the snow on the ground suddenly sank with a loud noise.

In the exposed large pit, dozens of villagers including Liu Hualei, Liu Huagen, Liu Huasheng were all buried inside.

They were already frozen stiff at this point, with only a faint breath left.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong quickly jumped into the pit and smashed the snow with a broken knife, trying his best to rescue the dozen people buried inside.

Then they piled them together and lit a bonfire to roast them.

The bonfire burned very brightly. After about half an hour, Liu Hualei and Liu Huasheng finally came back to life from their frozen and numb state.

Other villagers, including Liu Huagen, also began to tremble and sway, moving their bodies closer to the campfire.

They didn't step back until the campfire had burned their eyebrows.

Liu Qingsong heaved a sigh of relief, and after adding a handful of dry firewood, he asked Liu Hualei: "Dad, what happened to you? How did you fall into the snow pit?"

"Don't... don't mention it. I went to rescue... rescue Liu Dazhuang who fell in, and your third uncle came to rescue me. Just like that, Calabash Brothers... rescue... rescue grandpa, we all fell into the big snow pit." Liu Hualei replied stutteringly.

This stuttering is caused by freezing.

Liu Qingsong saw it, so he didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he turned around and looked for firewood.

After everyone was warmed up, he said to Liu Hualei, "Dad, it's going to get dark soon. You take uncle and uncle back first. I'll go look around."

"Don't worry, I won't go into the mountains."

"You go there alone." Liu Hualei stood up and stamped his numb feet: "How about this! I'll go with your uncle to find Zhou Chuanxiong and Zhou Yiyi, and everyone else goes back."

"If anything happens, there will be someone to help."

"This... okay!" Liu Qingsong took a look at the surrounding environment, stepped on the snow, and walked towards the southeast of Tiger Mountain with a crunching sound.

Liu Hualei, Liu Huasheng and Xiao Heikui followed behind.

Soon, they found a frozen hunting dog in the snow.

The hunting dog was dead, with a bloody hole on its neck.

What does this prove? It proves that the hunting dog was not frozen to death, but was bitten to death by a wild beast.

When Liu Qingsong saw this scene, he quickly raised the shotgun in his hand and walked towards the shallow footprints in front of him.

There were footprints of both humans and animals. The reason why they were so shallow was obviously that they were covered by the heavy snow that had fallen not long ago.

This was not a good sign for Liu Qingsong. He was just about to ask his father and third uncle to look nearby to see if Zhou Chuanxiong and Zhou Yiyi were there, but Xiao Heikui started barking wildly towards the valley ahead.

On both sides of the valley were dense southern bamboos, which had all been bent by the heavy snow. The pointed icicles on the leaves were crystal clear, and from a distance it looked like a crystal palace.

Liu Qingsong wanted to go inside the valley to take a look, but was stopped by Liu Hualei: "Don't go over there, that's where wild boars live. If we go in with so few people, we might not be able to get out."

"What if Zhou Yiyi, Zhou Chuanxiong and others are trapped in there?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"This..." Liu Hualei couldn't answer.

Liu Huasheng was also silent, not knowing what to say.

Liu Qingsong put the hunting rifle on his shoulder, looked around, and walked towards the entrance of the col with Xiao Heikui.

Liu Hualei had no choice but to follow behind with Liu Huasheng.

The three people and the dog walked through knee-deep snow and soon arrived at the entrance of the col.

On a bush at the entrance that was not buried by the snow, Liu Qingsong saw bright red bloodstains that had not yet solidified.

What does this mean? It means that there must have been a fierce fight here before.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to see bloodstains at the entrance of this sparsely populated valley.

"Zhou Yiyi..." Liu Qingsong shouted after finding a place to stay.

After the sound entered the entrance of the col, it took a while for the echo to be heard.

Wherever the echo passed, it shook off a lot of snow on the southern bamboos. For a while, the rustling sound of falling snow was endless.

After the sound of falling snow disappeared, the barking of several dogs and the faint cry for help of a woman were faintly heard from the valley.

After hearing this, Xiao Heikui immediately ran towards the valley.

But before he ran five meters, he fell into a snow pit and couldn't climb out.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong said something to Liu Hualei and Liu Huasheng, then quickly walked over and carried Xiao Heikui out of the snow pit.

Such snow pits are not man-made, but are formed naturally when fluffy thorny vines such as Miscanthus sinensis are covered by heavy snow. I am afraid there are many more of them throughout Tiger Mountain.

Previously, Liu Hualei, Liu Huagen, Liu Huasheng, Liu Dazhuang and others encountered a large snow pit that was formed naturally.

Snow pits vary in size and cannot be seen with the naked eye.

In order to avoid such a snow pit, Liu Qingsong immediately cut off a piece of southern bamboo with a broken knife.

With every step he took into the valley, he would test the snow-covered road with a piece of southern bamboo.

After repeating this process over and over again, he finally brought Xiao Heikui safely into the valley.

Liu Hualei and Liu Huasheng looked at each other and hurriedly followed behind.

Ten minutes later, the three people and the dog arrived at the deepest part of the valley.

There was only a little snow on the ground here, and the rest of the snow was blocked by the southern bamboo and towering pine trees on both sides.

People standing inside it feel like they are in a sieve.

The reason why it is like a sieve is that the light seen by the eyes comes from the gaps between the snow-covered pine trees and southern bamboos.

Liu Qingsong did not appreciate the rare scenery, but shouted the names of villagers such as Zhou Chuanxiong and Zhou Yiyi.

In order to prevent the snow from falling on the trees and crushing people, he deliberately lowered his voice much more this time.

Liu Hualei and Liu Huasheng also started shouting, then separated and walked in different directions.

Just then, Xiao Hei Kui cried out and ran towards a big pine tree.
