Chapter 1703

~7 min read 1,399 words

Middle of the night.

The river wind was strong, and the engine stopped. The two of them just needed to control the direction slightly with the help of the river wind, and they could go directly into the river bend, so they still had leisure to chat:

"Don't say that rich people are shrewd. The richer they are, the stingier they are."

"Exactly! You say they have several fish ponds at home, and they contracted this river beach, but they are reluctant to let their friends fish in their own home, and they have to go to the outside river section!"

This is bad luck. The piece they picked had no fish, and even God couldn't stand this stingy monster, making them gain nothing.

Otherwise, if they caught a full basin and a full warehouse, they would be jealous to death.

"They sold fish for forty last year. Did you ask what the price is this year?"

Sigh! Why can their fish sell for such a high price?

Although the decision to steal fish was made in a hurry, the brothers often fished in this river section, so they knew something:

"Most of them are contracted to fixed bosses this year, and I don't know the price. But I see cold-fresh trucks coming to pull goods every morning—look at this freight, you know this fish can't be cheap."

The older one sighed.

"Cheap or not, we don't have this brand, and the fish are not easy to store... What price should we set later?"

On the quiet river surface, the two of them occasionally glanced at the front by the moonlight, and at this moment they began to worry about selling fish.

They had experience in netting fish.

They didn't steal much, just caught this opportunity to cast a net, then dragged it with the boat directly to the pier in the city, and then took a small truck to the vegetable market...

"What a pity! I don't know when there will be such an opportunity."

The two sighed together.

They also happened to plan to fish in the river, so they saw them put down the blocking net.

Not seizing this opportunity is simply unreasonable.

But it's a pity that this might be the only opportunity—

"Can't sell for forty, can't we sell for fifteen?"

The two discussed with experience:

"Too cheap. In the owner's group of the residential area, selling crucian carp, which are also fished from reservoirs, two or three taels can sell for five yuan each."

"Let's net the fish and see. If it's silver carp or bighead carp, we'll sell by the jin. If it's crucian carp, we'll sell them one by one, which is easy."

They didn't have the conditions to get an oxygen box to raise them. This weather wouldn't be good if left for a long time, so they had to sell them all when there were many people in the vegetable market early in the morning.

The two pondered for a while and felt that this method was feasible and sold quickly, so they couldn't help but look forward to it more.

By the way, they also boosted their psychological price:

"Look at this lotus pond, did you smell the lotus fragrance? This place is wilder than wild! They dared to sell for forty a jin last year and were scrambled for, so the quality must be guaranteed."

"We only want fifteen or twenty a jin, there must be no problem."

Thinking of this, they boosted their morale again, and the two were full of confidence.

After all, farmed fish are raised densely, so if you cast a net, hehe...

"Sigh! Why do I see something on the water surface in front? Brother, I can't see clearly, turn on the light."

The speaker squinted and looked forward, but the moonlight mixed with the water waves, appearing and disappearing, deep and shallow, he couldn't see clearly at all.

However, this request was not met.

The older brother had a strong consciousness of being a thief, and at this moment he scolded in a low voice:

"Are you afraid that people won't notice?!"

"This is the river beach, there are dogs, you turn on the light, isn't that reminding people—it's all water, where is there anything?"

The younger brother's eyes weren't very good, and the water waves under the moonlight were blurry. He looked left and right, but didn't dare to confirm that there really was something.

After waiting for a while, the older brother didn't hear the next movement, so he said impatiently: "Don't be surprised. I think this piece is quite good, why don't we cast a net here."

It's also impossible to be too close to the river beach.

Hearing the business, the younger brother finally took back his mind, and then looked back carefully at the side of the boat—

The water surface was pitch black. When he got closer, he could only see the deeper and more terrifying water waves. It's a pity he couldn't turn on the light and couldn't attract a few fish to come out and see first.

He stood up, then supported the gunwale with one hand, and looked back:

"Should be okay, cast a net first—oh oh—!!!"

He suddenly screamed: "Brother! There really is something behind you!"

The river wind suddenly became noisy.

The younger brother only felt the hair on his back stand up, standing there stiffly and not daring to move.

Then he asked tremblingly: "What does it look like? Where did I get infected?"

"Could it be a water ghost?"

It's over, it's over. I heard that water ghosts appear to find substitutes!

"No, no!" The younger brother was anxious: "Look! Look behind! Are those ducks or something rushing toward us on the water surface?"

Not only rushing, but the speed was exceptionally fast!

In just these few words, he could already see what the leader looked like!

It seems to be a big goose!

What a big, strong, round, and fierce goose!

Everything was silent all around.

Geese are famous for their loud voices. You can hear them from across the mountain, but I don't know why they can be silent now.

The hair on the younger brother's body also stood up.

The moonlight fell quietly, and with the rippling river water, occasionally when the angle changed, he could clearly see that besides the strong goose in the lead, there was another big goose with a slightly smaller body beside it.

The small boat was pushed by the wind toward the river beach, but the geese swam against the wind, full of momentum.

Under the moonlight, the orange-red head crown was clearly visible!

Wasn't Dabai full of momentum?

Deep in the night, it was time to sleep well and recharge, but this group of people had to come and find trouble in the middle of the night.

It was a good goose now, and it didn't sing loudly in the middle of the night to disturb people's dreams anymore.

As a result, it could hold back, but someone couldn't hold back, how unreasonable?!

What's more, it was also a good hand at watching the house. With a little disturbance, it could wake up the whole village.

Now these jobs were taken over by the dogs, and it seemed that Dabai's usefulness wasn't very obvious.

Finally!

There are little thieves on the water surface!

Isn't it time for it to show its heroic posture!

Dabai held its head high and was full of fighting spirit!

It stepped on the water waves, resisted the wind blowing in its face, its butt was almost shaken round, and its two feet stepped on the clear waves so fast that sparks were about to jump out...

And what added to its confidence was that behind it, there was another goose and several other ducks, equally obeying orders and sneaking in the middle of the night!

They vast and mighty and silently swam from the lotus pond, approaching, getting closer!

It wasn't until this moment that the two people on the small boat finally saw them clearly.

These aren't two geese, this is clearly a large group of waterfowl!

"Brother, what should we do now?"

This doesn't bark now, but looking at its posture, it doesn't look like it won't bark all the time.

When it howls, won't the people on duty rush over!
