Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1958 - 1732: Waterfowl Heaven Team

In the depths of night.

The river wind was strong, the engine had stopped, and the two of them, following the river wind, only needed to slightly control the direction to head directly to River Bay, thus they had leisure time for chatting:

"That’s why they say wealthy people are shrewd! The richer they are, the stingier."

"Exactly! You said they have several fish ponds at home and have rented this Riverside Beach, yet they are reluctant to invite their friends to fish at their own place, and insist on going to that outside river section instead!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

It was really just their bad luck; the spot they chose hardly had any fish, even the heavens couldn’t stand their stinginess and made them end up empty-handed.

If they had caught a full boatload, they really would have died of envy.

"Did you find out for how much their fish were sold last year at forty, and what the price is this year?"

Ah! Why can their fish be sold at such a high price?

Although the decision to steal fish was made hastily, the brothers often fished in this river section, so they knew some things:

"This year, they mostly contracted to fixed owners, and the price isn’t clear. But every morning, cold storage trucks come to collect the goods—you can tell from the freight costs that their fish can’t be cheap."

The older one sighed.

"Cheap or not, we don’t have that brand, and those fish aren’t easy to preserve... What price should we set in the end? Forty is definitely out of the question."

On the silent river surface, the two of them occasionally glanced ahead in the moonlight, now beginning to worry about selling the fish.

They had experience with netting fish.

They wouldn’t steal much, just seize this opportunity, cast a net, and then tow the catch directly to the city’s dock, there to get a small truck to the market...

"What a pity! Who knows when the next opportunity will come."

The two sighed together.

It just so happened that they planned to fish in the river, and then they noticed the barrier netting being set.

If they didn’t seize this opportunity, it would be unjustifiable.

But unfortunately, this might be the only chance—

"Can’t sell it for forty, but it should sell for fifteen, right?"

The two discussed with considerable experience:

"Too cheap, selling crucian carp in the community owner chat group, even caught from reservoirs, even two-three ounces can sell for five yuan a piece."

"Let’s see what we catch. If it’s bighead carp or white carp, we’ll sell them by weight. If it’s crucian carp, we’ll definitely sell them piece by piece, it’s more convenient."

They didn’t have the condition to keep them in an oxygenated tank, in this weather they’re not good for long, so they had to sell them early in the morning when the market was busy.

After pondering for a while, they felt this method was feasible and fast, and so became even more eager.

They even raised their psychological price:

"Look at this lotus pond, did you smell the lotus fragrance? It’s so wild here, even wilder than the wild ones! Last year they dared to sell at forty-one per pound and it attracted attention, the quality is definitely assured."

"We only want fifteen or twenty-one a pound, definitely no problem."

Thinking this, they further boosted each other’s morale, becoming filled with confidence.

After all, the fish were densely bred, once a net was cast down, hey...

"Ah! Why do I see something on the water up ahead? Bro, can’t see it clearly, turn the light on."

The one speaking squinted at the front, but the moonlight mixed with water waves, appearing and disappearing, deep and shallow, he couldn’t see clearly.

However, this request was not met.

As the elder brother, he was very aware of being a thief, and lowly reprimanded in a hushed voice:

"Are you afraid they won’t notice?!"

"This Riverside Beach raises dogs, turning the light on isn’t giving them a reminder—it’s all water, where’s the thing?"

The younger brother’s eyes weren’t very good, and under the moonlight, the water waves were blurry, glancing back and forth, he couldn’t be sure it was really there.

After waiting a while, the elder brother did not hear any further movement and impatiently said, "Stop being so jumpy. I think this area is good, otherwise let’s cast the net here."

They couldn’t really get too close to Riverside Beach.

Upon hearing the main business, the younger brother refocused and carefully checked at the side of the boat—

The water surface was pitch black, getting closer could only see increasingly haunting water waves. Unfortunately, they couldn’t use a lamp, they couldn’t entice a few fish to come out first.

He stood up, then with one hand supporting the boat’s edge, looked backward:

"Should be okay, let’s cast a net first—holy moly!!"

He suddenly shouted, "Bro! There’s really something behind you!"

The river wind abruptly roared.

He felt sweat raising from his back, standing there stiff without daring to move.

Then he trembling asked, "What is it? Where did I touch it?"

"Could it be a Water Ghost?"

Oh no, oh no, heard that Water Ghosts appear to find a scapegoat!

"No, no!" The brother got anxious: "Look! Look behind! Isn’t it ducks or something rushing toward us on the water?"

Not only were they rushing, but incredibly fast!

Just within these few short phrases, they could already see clearly what was leading in form!

It seemed to be a big goose!

A huge, robust, round, fierce goose!

The surroundings were silent.

Geese were famously loud; when they called out, it could be heard even across a mountain, yet currently it’s also quiet without a sound.

The younger brother’s body hair also stood up.

The moonlight quietly sprinkled, mingling with the sparkling wave light of the river water, occasionally changing angles could clearly see besides the leading powerful goose, and beside it, there was another slightly smaller big goose.

The small boat was being blown by the wind towards Riverside Beach, while the geese frantically swam forward against the wind, full of vigor.

Under the moonlight, even their orange-red crests were clearly visible!

Isn’t Big White just full of vigor?

Deep in the night when it’s time to rest and replenish energy, these people insist on coming in the middle of the night to seek discomfort.

Now it’s a good goose, and doesn’t loudly disturb people’s sweet dreams in the middle of the night.

But it can withstand, yet some can’t, what nonsense is this?!

Furthermore, earlier it was excellent in guarding home and yard, a slight breeze or grass moved, it could wake up the whole village.

Now these duties have been taken over by the dogs, Big White’s own place doesn’t seem to be particularly significant anymore.

At long last!

A thief appeared on the water surface!

Isn’t it just the time for it to show its grandeur!

Big White stood proudly, battle-ready!

It fought against the incoming wind, its backside nearly shook round, its feet nearly sparked, stamping on the glittering waves...

What added to its confidence was that behind it, there was another goose and several ducks, similarly following orders, sneaking in the night!

They came swimming silently from the lotus pond side, closer, even closer!

It wasn’t until now that the two people on the small boat finally saw them clearly.

This wasn’t just two geese, this was evidently a large Waterfowl Heaven Team!

"Bro, what do we do now?"

It’s quiet now, but judging by its posture, it doesn’t seem like it will stay quiet,

If they howl, the one on duty will definitely rush over!
