Standing by the Jinsha River and finally thinking about how to make some money, Mu Zhengfeng actually didn't have much confidence in his heart. But at his current age, there are not many ways to make money based on his current conditions.

"I've come here, so it's absolutely right to try it first! If I don't try it, how can I know if there will be any rewards?"

Mu Zhengfeng, who is in the countryside and working outside, can only be considered a child laborer, thought about it and finally thought of getting some wild game to earn some pocket money. Now he is bringing his younger brother and sister to Jinsha River, and he is also coming to the wild turtles in the river.

Mu Zhengfeng, who has been with the old man since he was a child, naturally knows how to do it. If he is lucky, he can catch one or two turtles a day and send them to the city to sell them, his income will be very good.

Although my brother and sister think it is a bit unreliable, I have to try it out to find out after I buy the hook, fishing line and fresh pork liver. Speaking of which, the price of wild turtles in recent years has also been soaring.

Ten years ago, even if someone caught a turtle in the field, he would not have any interest in gnawing on this thing. In the old man's words, the turtle was all shelled, with few taels of meat at all, and it was not as delicious as the fish came!

The problem is that rich people in the city prefer this bite. Although there are breeding turtles on the market, these rich people think that wild turtles are more nutritious. The heavier the portion, the more expensive the turtles per catty.

In Mu Zhengfeng's memory, two years ago, his old man and the villagers often went to Jinsha River to put hooks. Occasionally, they would smile happily. However, as many people put hooks, the turtle became more and more rare.

Walking up the river beach, Mu Zhengfeng placed all the hooks with pig livers hanging in the places where turtles were suitable for hiding. Even though some places were covered with thorns, Mu Zhengfeng still went in directly.

After putting all the fifty turtle hooks I bought, looking at the Jinsha River in front of me, Mu Zhengfeng thought for a while and said, "Xiaoyan, find a place to fish. In the last hour, let's come and take a look at the hook."

"Brother, don't others put hooks in the evening and come back the next morning?"

"Why do you have to learn from others? In fact, most turtles in the wild will come out to feed in the evening and early morning. If there are turtles in the place where the hook is placed, they should bite the hook soon. If not, it will be useless no matter how long it is left, do you know?"

"oh!"

Holding the simple fishing rod made of old bamboo, the two brothers began to find a relatively open and gentle area in the water and fish with the digging earthworms. The younger sister who didn't want to stay at home naturally came out with them.

Although the old man just passed away, every time the three siblings returned home, they felt sad. But staying together with the three siblings was also a great comfort. At least my sister Mu Xuan has been reluctant to part with her two brothers these two days.

Looking at the crucian carp and river fish that they caught from time to time, the three brothers and sisters were happy. Listening to the laughter from time to time, Mu Zhengfeng also felt very relieved. Compared to staying at home and looking at each other speechlessly, it would be better to go out for a walk.

As for the gossip of the villagers, Mu Zhengfeng ignored them. Perhaps the villagers would think that he was ignorant of politeness and gave up even though he had a better choice. After a while, perhaps these gossip and worries would no longer exist.

When the sun started to set, Mu Zhengfeng looked at the sky and said, "Let's catch this today and see the hook we set. If there is no goods, let's go back and come back tomorrow morning."

"good!"

After picking up the fish basket in the water, the little sister Mu Xuan said excitedly: "Brother, there are so many fish! Can these fish be sold in the city? I heard that people also buy this kind of wild big crucian carp in the city!"

"How much crucian carp is worth? I'll cook these fish for you to eat when you get home. If you can't finish eating the leftovers, you can keep them in the water tank first. While there is still some time left to school, I will try to make you gain weight and be as thin as a monkey."

"Brother, aren't you the same?"

Perhaps I thought this was too ugly, and Mu Zhengyan, as my younger brother, couldn't help but refute it. In fact, I have never seen a few fat children from a poor family in the countryside. But my three siblings are indeed a bit too thin.

Both myself and my younger siblings have reached the age when I need nutrition the most urgently. In Mu Zhengfeng's view, not only should I support my younger siblings to go to school, but I also have to ensure that my younger siblings can keep up with their nutrition. After all, their parents are not low in height!

On the other hand, Mu Zhengfeng himself only rushed to the height after he arrived in the army in his previous life. Unfortunately, his height was barely beyond the standard of level 3 disability. And his younger brother's height was actually lower than his.

Mu Zhengfeng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You guy, you want to be beaten, right?"

After laughing, the three of them followed the position where they had previously placed the hook and began to check the fish hooks they had put down before. What made the brother and sister a little frustrated was that they pulled more than a dozen hooks but still had no gains.

There were even some fish hooks, and the pig liver on them were eaten, but nothing was caught!

Seeing Mu Zhengfeng replace the pig liver on the hook, the younger brother was puzzled and said, "Brother, isn't this pig liver still good? Why do you need to change it?"

"It takes a long time to soak, and the fishy smell will evaporate almost the same. Anyway, there is still some left in the pig liver, so just change it to a new one. Maybe there will be a harvest tomorrow. OK, don't be upset. If turtles are so easy to catch, they will have all turtles in the river long ago."

Just when the brother and sister were still finding nothing after checking more than a dozen hooks, they entered Mu Zhengfeng at the bend of a river. As soon as they pulled the fishing line, they found that the fishing line was tightly stretched, and they instantly became happy.

"Haha, I should have caught a fish!"

As soon as these words came out, the younger brothers and sisters who were staying behind came in regardless of the thorn bushes that could easily scratch people on the river. They even said with anticipation: "Brother, wait a moment and let me see!"

Seeing his younger brother and sister looking more anxious than him, Mu Zhengfeng could only laugh and scold, "Slow down, be careful of those thorny vines."

When the three siblings squeezed by the river, their eyes were all looking at the fishing line that was carefully pulled by Mu Zhengfeng. Not long after, a turtle whose mouth was caught by the fish hook finally appeared in the sight of the three siblings.

"Wow, turtle! Brother, this turtle is so big!"

"What's the big deal? This turtle will not exceed three pounds at most."

"That's great too! Uncle Hu said that a turtle of more than two pounds can be sold to the city for more than two hundred pounds!"

For my younger brother and sister, what I caught was not the turtle in front of me, but the money most urgently needed at home. If the turtle in front of me was sold in the city, it could be sold at least four or five hundred yuan. For them, this is really not a small amount of money!

When Mu Zhengfeng reached out and grabbed the turtle, which was still struggling in the water, and successfully took out the hook hanging on his mouth. He threw it into the net bag he brought, and handed it to his younger brother beside him and said, "Carry it! I'll hang a piece of pig's liver again, change the position and throw the hook again."

According to the old man, turtles like to choose places to live. If there is a turtle in the place, there is a second one. Anyway, there are still many pig livers, so Mu Zhengfeng naturally wants to give it a try.

What the brother and sister did not expect was that fifty turtle hooks finally harvested five turtles of varying sizes. Even the smallest turtle is more than one pound. The largest one should be about five pounds.

Looking at the five turtles lying in the net bag with their heads tilted, the younger sister Mu Xuan said most excitedly: "Brother, how much can these turtles be sold?"

"If the market is good, two or three thousand is possible. For details, we will only know when we go to the city."

"Well! Then tomorrow, can I go to the city with you? I haven't been to the county town yet?"

In fact, not only my younger sister has never been to the county town, but even my younger brother who is about to go to junior high school has never been to the county town?

Thinking of this, Mu Zhengfeng also said happily: "Wait until tomorrow, we will go together. After selling the turtle, we will buy you clothes. Xiaoyan has to live in junior high school and prepare to change the clothes and shoes. Then buy one."
