    "These are the leaders from above who came to our mountain village to guide the work. I heard that you are good at fishing for turtles, and I am very interested. Today, the riverside is up to you!" Liu Huijun said, but she did not  These people introduced Jiangbian in detail.

    "It's really not necessary. If it weren't for the turtles, I guess Jiangbian wouldn't be able to deal with these people in his lifetime."

    "Hello, leaders! Welcome all leaders to come to Banshan Village to guide the turtle fishing work." Jiangbian said to the officials with a smiling face.

    "Pfft!"

    Liu Huijun couldn¡¯t hold back her laughter, but when she saw a few leaders looking a little unnatural, she hurriedly scolded, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense by the river. The leaders are here to guide production. By the way, let¡¯s take a look at your fishing skills.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s definitely not Turtle¡¯s business, guide production, guide production!¡± Jiang Bian said.

    It seems that Jiangbian is really unintentional.  Jiangbian looked honest, like an obedient citizen.  Keep nodding and bending, with a smile on your face.

    "It's not because of the money that I don't accompany you? There are five people and six people, uncle!" Jiang Bian said in his heart.

    Several leaders also felt that there was no need to be familiar with a country boy.  But he didn't talk to Jiang Bian, and just signaled Zhao Desheng to make arrangements.

    Zhao Desheng waved his hand, "Forget it, act quickly, it's getting late, go out quickly."

    Liu Huijun took out some things from home and stuffed them into Piaotian Literature Network by the river?  Eat something quickly.  "

    In rural areas, breakfast is usually eaten after nine o'clock, and lunch is not eaten until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

    We just got up by the river, so naturally we didn¡¯t eat anything.

    When the Jiangbian gobbled and eliminated things, everyone was ready to move immediately.

    The journey is not that far. Banshan Village is right on the bank of Lujiang River and can be reached in just a few steps.

    The Lujiang River is not particularly wide, less than 100 meters wide.  But it is the Lujiang River, which is less than 100 meters wide, that separates the mountain village from the town, which is more than ten miles away.

    People from Banshan Village have to go to the town by boat, or they have to go around for dozens of miles and cross the Shanmen Bridge, which is very far away, near Yutang Village.

    The several leaders who came above all brought their own fishing gear, which was very impressive. They were all fishing rods made of special materials.  Jiangbian had seen them in fishing tackle shops in town, and they were all worth a few hundred yuan.

    Jiangbian is very envious, but unfortunately he can't afford it.

    The fishing rod used by the riverside is a purple bamboo fishing rod passed down by King Turtle. It is jet black. The fishing line used on it is not the kind of transparent chemical fiber. It looks gray and black. I don¡¯t know what it is made of.

    Everyone in the village said that King Turtle¡¯s fishing rod was not an ordinary thing, but something possessed by a spirit.  Although King Turtle can use it, he must abide by the rules of this god.  King Turtle had kept the rules all his life, but at the end, he broke them for Jiangbian, and was naturally punished by God.

    Riverside has never felt the spirit in the fishing rod. He learned the skill of fishing for turtles from the Turtle King since he was a child.  Eyesight, technique, and most importantly, bait.

    The turtle king's bait for catching turtles is secretly made. Every time he prepares the bait, he always closes the door, then mixes the prepared things together, and goes through a series of tedious steps.  After a long time, the bait was finally ready.

    Jiangbian has always believed that the key to turtle fishing is not the fishing rod, but the bait.

    King Turtle¡¯s bait is never given to others, so no one can appreciate how good the bait is.

    People who are officials are generally very superstitious, at least Jiangbian thinks so.  I heard that the officials in the town always worship the God of Wealth and Guan Gong at home.

    They also think that the fishing rod on the riverside is a very mysterious fishing rod, and they can¡¯t help but want to get it in their hands to take a look.

    "Young man, can you show me your fishing rod?" The old man said.

    But fishing rods and bait are things that Turtle King has always attached great importance to, and he has never let anyone else take care of them.  Although Jiangbian didn't believe there was any mystery in this fishing rod, he abided by King Turtle's rules.

    "No!" Jiangbian answered simply.

    The old man did not expect to be rejected. He should not be rejected many times when he comes down there.  The scene was a little awkward.

    Liu Huijun quickly tried to smooth things over, "Oh, boss, I'm sorry. People in the countryside are a bit superstitious, and their families are very particular about it. The fishing rods, baits, etc. are never in someone else's hands."

    "So that's it! Then forget it." Although the old man was a little embarrassed, he also walked down the steps.

    ?????????????? The turtles that survive are all ghostly creatures, so their hiding places are very secretive.

    People have their own ways, and snakes have their own ways.  The young people on the riverside are turtle fishermen.But I have a lot of experience. By removing the weeds and shrubs on the river embankment and carefully looking at the traces, you can know whether there are turtles in this place.

    These days, there are fewer and fewer turtles in the river, and it takes a lot of effort to find them every time by the river.

    When fishing for turtles by the river, I don¡¯t really like to be followed.  Liu Huijun knew the habits of the riverside very well and hurriedly took several superior leaders to the best fishing places.

    There are several huge paulownia trees on the river bank not far from the pier, and there are very few shrubs below.  It is the best place for fishing.

    Several people set up their positions there and started fishing.

    The old man suggested, "Let's have a competition to see who can catch the most fish. We will put all the fish in their own places and weigh them when we go back. The one who caught the least will treat us when we return to town."  "

    "Okay! County Magistrate Zhang has a good idea. But even though you are the leader, I really won't let you go fishing." One of the two big bellies said.

    "Mayor Xiao Yang, Secretary Xiao Luo, you two use all your skills. Wait a minute and let Xiao Zhao be the referee. The three of us will have a good test." The old man laughed.

    Mayor Yang chuckled, "Secretary Luo, you heard me, don't show mercy this time!"

    Secretary Luo smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely show your best and let County Magistrate Zhang know that from our land of plenty, no one is bad at fishing!"

    After walking far to the river, we began to search carefully. Fishing for turtles is even more exquisite than fishing.  Turtles are very clever and will run away at the slightest sound.

    It¡¯s a pity that Lujiang River is not quiet at all now.  In the distance, you can always hear the roar of machines.

    A sand quarry was built not far above, and huge noises could be heard from a distance.

    The riverside disliked these sand playing fields and removed all the fine sand from the bottom of the water. Many of the hiding places for turtles were also destroyed, and the number of turtles naturally decreased slowly.  Without turtles, Jiangbian doesn¡¯t know how he will make a living in the future.

    Apart from fishing for turtles, there is no other advantage on the river, and I can¡¯t even do farm work.  Jiangbian has no idea what crops should be planted in the season above.  The family's fields are also farmed by others, and a small amount of rent is collected.  Now there is not much labor force left in the countryside. They can¡¯t even receive rent and can only get a little state subsidy.

    Without spending too much effort, I found traces of turtle fish on the river bank, "Haha, it's a big guy!"

    By the river, I saw the traces left by the turtle fish on the shore, but unfortunately I couldn¡¯t tell whether this big guy was male or female.  This makes the riverside very distressed. Many times, after working for a long time, he finally catches a female turtle and has to follow the rules and put it back.

    This time, things went smoothly by the river. It didn¡¯t take long before a round turtle was fished out of the river.

    After the turtles become sexually mature, it is easier to distinguish between male and female. The tail of the female turtle is shorter and cannot naturally stick out of the skirt.

    "Hey! Not bad, a big guy!"

    County Magistrate Zhang watched the turtles being fished out of the river from a distance and couldn't help but admire them.  I put down my fishing rod and walked towards the river, wanting to take a look at the soft-shell turtles caught on the river.

    Mayor Yang and Secretary Luo also stood up, with smiles on their fat and red faces.

    But before they could get closer, they saw the riverside throwing the turtle into the Lujiang River again in annoyance.

    "Hey, don't!" Mayor Yang shouted.

    ¡°Bang!¡±

    The turtle fish was thrown into the water and caused a huge wave.

    "Oh! What a pity!" Secretary Luo was also a little annoyed.

    "What's going on?" County Magistrate Zhang was a little confused and turned around to ask Liu Huijun.

    "That's the female turtle. The rules of the turtle family are to keep the male but not the female, and keep the older ones but not the younger ones." Liu Huijun sighed.

    "There is such a rule!" County Magistrate Zhang wondered.

    There was no regret at the riverside, and I didn¡¯t have high hopes in the first place.  There has never been a time when I could catch a suitable turtle so quickly.  Either female or small.  The younger ones are easier to take the bait than the older turtles.

    If you release the caught turtles in one place, don¡¯t expect to catch any more turtles from there. Even if there are other turtles here, they will definitely run away like crazy when they are caught.

    The river bank put away the fishing rod, took his own guy, and continued to walk upstream.  @ws
