Chapter 43: Frightening Reproduction
Thanks for the reward support from certified qualified brother and honest man 888!
At night, Ye Caihong stayed at her second uncle's house, and Chu Jiajuan also didn't go back to the old house to sleep. Chu Jiaqiang handed his wireless network card over to Ye Caihong; anyway, he could endure not going online for a few days.
Back to the old house, Little Jin immediately found Chu Jiaqiang again, two mouse eyes rolling around. Chu Jiaqiang was speechless, pulled out a bamboo shoot from the landscape painting and threw it at the little guy, then went to sleep.
The next morning, as usual, now exercising outside, and not afraid of others learning from them. If they can learn, then there's no opinion at all.
When I returned to the mountain and river map to start sitting, I found a big river crab crawling over. The river crab was the kind in the Chu family river, with a yellow-red body, somewhat transparent, as if you could see the crab paste inside clearly. But this one was even bigger than the previous ones I caught, about the size of a palm.
Chu's family was strong and turned the river crab over, letting it struggle with its four feet in the air. Then he looked towards the small stream, but was shocked. Inside, there were fish, shrimp, crabs, and constantly swimming yellow eels. On the shore of the small stream, those river crabs were lying still, motionless. Many of them were as big as the one Chu's family had turned over earlier.
These river crabs are very lazy, and it is precisely for this reason that the two banks of this small stream have been preserved. Crabs! Some like to live in dry places, some like to live in water, if there is a ready-made suitable hole, they don't care whether it's a snake hole or what hole, they will live in it. If there is no ready-made hole, most of them are content with the status quo, and when resting, they casually find a stone seam or something, even a spring eye is also suitable for their residence, only a small part will dig holes by themselves.
Roughly estimated, there are at least 50,000 to 60,000 fish in this small stream; the number of river shrimp is also over 10,000, most of which are as big as small lobsters. These river shrimps are all transparent shrimps. The river crabs are not far behind, and they can reproduce quickly, competing with frogs. A female crab can produce dozens of crabs at a time. Those yellow eels are also terrifying, each one is as thick as a thumb.
This explosive growth pattern made Chu Jiaqiang worried. However, Turing told him: Now the organisms in the small stream have reached their peak and cannot grow further. The mountain river map itself has the function of self-biological regulation. Hearing this, Chu Jiaqiang finally felt at ease.
"I didn't expect the fish, shrimp and crabs that were brought in at that time to develop to this extent." Chu Jiaqiang wiped his sweat and said with surprise. He thought for a moment in his heart. This is great! We were worried about not having any fish seedlings, these are no longer considered seedlings, putting them into the reservoir would be perfect!"
Chu Jiaqiang had another plan in mind, planning to pay attention to some special fish species when he was free, bring them back for cultivation, and then release them into the reservoir, trying to diversify the fish species in the reservoir.
After completing his cultivation, he found that the true energy in his body had reached a certain level and was about to break through. The first layer of physical training was almost complete, and he thought to himself: In a few days, I should be able to break through the first layer and enter the second layer of cultivation. Thinking of this, Chu Jiaqiang's heart became somewhat excited. Although there is only one layer between the first and second layers, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.
Chu's family caught over a dozen palm-sized river crabs by the creek bank, and also brought along that domineering fish from earlier. They caught a three-pound carp, scooped up two or three pounds of river shrimp, as well as some yellow eel, before leaving the mountain and river map.
Put the fish, shrimp and yellow eel into a bucket of water, and put the river crab into another bucket without adding water. They won't die anyway. Then run to the edge of the reservoir, look around and see that there is no one, immediately release the fish, shrimp and crabs from the stream. At the same time, he also poured the measured spiritual water into the reservoir.
The Chu family's behavior immediately caused a huge wave in the reservoir, and the fish groups hidden in the reservoir gathered together, which was quite spectacular. He could even see many fish species that he had never seen before, constantly attacking those weak fish groups. Fortunately, this scene disappeared quickly and did not last long.
Along the big ditch back, Chu Jiaqiang looked for fish species that were not in Shanhe Map all the way.
At more than seven o'clock, Chu Jiaqiang searched the entire ditch and found a lot. Then, Chu Jiawei came with Ye Caiping. Chu Jiawei was ordered to come and asked Chu Jiaqiang to have breakfast, while Ye Caiping followed to join in the fun.
They couldn't find Chu Jiaqiang in the old house, so they knew he must be in the orchard. However, they didn't notice the two water buckets placed at the corner.
"Brother! Are you fishing? How many have you caught?" Seeing Chu Jiaqiang coming up from the big ditch, Chu Jiawan's eyes lit up.
"Right! Inside the old house. Let's go!" Chu Jiaqiang washed his hands and feet clean, then took everyone back.
"I see there are still many fish in that small river! Why don't you catch them?" Ye Cai Ping was somewhat puzzled. The ditch was quite wide, and Ye Cai Ping regarded it as a small river.
"How much can we eat? What's the point of catching them? Wouldn't it be better to leave them inside to breed?" To be honest, Tang Bao had been eyeing the wild fish in this ditch for a long time, but Chu Jiaqiang refused, citing conservation as the reason.
Back to the old house, seeing the fish, shrimp and crab in the water bucket, Chu Jia Wen stared with wide eyes: "Brother! You caught so many? Wow! Such a big river crab, I've never seen one before, it must be delicious."
Chu Jiaqiang smiled: "I got up very early, otherwise I wouldn't have caught so many."
When she heard this, Chu Jia Wan didn't have any particular thoughts, but Ye Cai Ping was somewhat moved, thinking that Chu Jia Qiang had gone fishing early because of her.
Three people brought back those spoils of war to Second Uncle's house, and when Second Uncle and Second Aunt saw the exceptionally large river crabs and river shrimps, they were both incredulous.
"Are these all the ones you caught in the ditch? I've seen ones as big as this before, but not so many." Second Uncle picked up a crab that was still brandishing its pincers.
"Hmm! But not all, there are more fish in the reservoir. I even saw a group of black fish, they look strange, their bodies are long and thin, like an arrow, some are as big as one meter long, very fast. This kind of fish is quite ferocious, it eats other fish, have you seen them before, Second Uncle?" Chu Jiaqiang asked.
Second Uncle furrowed his brow as soon as he heard, nodded and said: "I saw it once when I was young, we called it a long arrow fish. It's strange, did those fish offend them? Doesn't make sense! This kind of fish usually lives at the bottom of the water, is afraid of light, likes to eat river-bottom snails and shellfish. They won't attack casually, even more so they won't come out in groups."
Chu's family let out a sigh of relief, they were worried earlier that the thing would attack fish, and if they threw fish into the reservoir, wouldn't they be ruined by them? It seems that in the future, they can't casually pour spiritual water into the reservoir, otherwise it will cause the fish to fight over it and provoke those villains, not enough fish for them to attack.
