Chapter 51 88 acres of fish pond
“I…I know!”
Xiao Huang watched Mu Jiu walk away, and suddenly felt that the place on his head that had been touched just now was extremely hot!
So, Xiao Huang thoughtfully made two types of fish for everyone.
One is a stimulating and spicy grilled fish, while the other is a light and mild stewed multi-flavored fish.
There were a lot of fish, and the portions were generous. Just smelling them made my mouth water.
Alvin distributed disposable bowls and chopsticks collected from small restaurants to everyone.
Ding Dang sat aside, silently drinking the soup in her bowl, trying her best not to let the strangers in the family notice her and see her strange eyes.
Nine people sat around a joined table to eat.
"My benefactor, where are you planning to go next? Um... can you take us with you?
Look at this entire village, everyone is dead, and now only our family is left.
It's so strange and spooky day and night, it's impossible to live a normal life!"
As the pillar of the family, the middle-aged father asked helplessly.
If he hadn't been left with no other options, he really wouldn't want to leave the village where he had lived for most of his life.
Xiao Huang glanced at Mu Jiu and said to his middle-aged father:
"Where we're going next and whether we can go together depends on our boss!
This is the leader of our team!" Xiao Huang extended his palm towards Mu Jiu and introduced him solemnly.
"Boss?" The family looked at him in surprise.
Although this girl is indeed beautiful, she doesn't look very old, probably only around twenty years old.
How did you become the boss of these people?
And everyone seemed to be quite respectful to her, and they all listened to what she said! Even their family's savior obeyed her!
Who is this girl?
"Oh~that's not important!" Mu Jiu waved his hand.
“We have quite a few places to go, and it’s easy to encounter dirty things along the way.
You have elderly and young children in your family. It is inconvenient and unsafe for you to travel with us, and it is difficult to provide any protection.
But I think it’s not a good idea for you to just stay in this small ancestral hall.
There are too few of you, and you have almost no ability to resist the weirdness.
But there are a lot of corpses here, which means there is more dirt.
I suggest that you leave here tomorrow while it's still light and sunny, and find a temple or Taoist temple with people to take refuge in.
Although this may not necessarily mean a better life, at least it can ensure that the whole family is alive."
Mu Jiu said a lot of things and seemed tired. He quickly drank a big mouthful of fish soup, and then ate several big mouthfuls of fish.
Xiao Huang knew that his master always had fish stuck in his throat when eating it, but he still liked to eat it. He was the type of person who loved to eat fish.
So before cooking the fish, he specially picked up a few large pieces of fish belly for Mu Jiu and left them for her!
Only now can you eat without any burden!
"Temple and Taoist temple?" The family looked at each other in surprise.
"This... our family never believed in these things, and we don't know where these places are...
Now this phone doesn’t work, where can we find it?”
The old father said with a frown.
"That's easy."
Mu Jiu reached into her bag and took out a map of Hui City that she had brought back from the warehouse supermarket and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"This is a map of Hui City. Look, the pattern of small houses here represents temples and Taoist temples.
Find the location marked with this pattern on the map, and that is where you can go.
But you must ensure that you can arrive at the place you choose before dark, otherwise you should know the consequences!
Therefore, the migration time can only be during the day when there is sunshine, so that they will not encounter dirt.
The specific place to go is for your family to discuss among themselves."
After Mu Jiu's advice, he didn't say anything more. He started eating fish and left the decision-making power back to the family.
In the end, everyone has to walk their own path.
As a provincial-level city, Huishi has no less than ten temples and Taoist temples of various sizes in its urban and suburban areas.
In just a few months, these places will be transformed into the only habitat for humans in the apocalypse - bases.
All the family had to decide was whether to move farther away or settle nearby.
It depends on how far the family can walk during the day.
Mu Jiu couldn't make a decision for them on this point. After all, they had old and young children, and it was difficult to estimate.
The meal lasted about twenty minutes and ended, and Mu Jiu and his group began to work hard at catching fish again.
The family continued to stay in the Gao family ancestral hall, discussing which temple to go to and which way to go.
After a hearty meal, their sense of taste, smell and vision were satisfied, and Xiao Huang and his friends became more active in raiding the fish pond, as this was related to their future enjoyment of food!
According to the family in the ancestral hall, the entire Gaojia fishing village has a total of 128 acres of fish ponds, 40 acres of which are used to raise puffer fish.
The remaining 88 acres of fish ponds are used to feed common fish species.
Boss Mu said that they only want the ordinary fish in the 88-acre fish pond. As for the puffer fish, they will leave it to those who are destined to catch it!
As it was getting dark and dark shadows began to appear over the pond, a few people finally managed to collect their nets and clear out the fish from the last acre of the pond.
A total of 88 acres of fish, about a dozen species, all entered Mu Jiu's space lake!
Mu Jiu roughly estimated that one acre of fish pond can produce about 3,000 kilograms on average, and today he harvested nearly 260,000 kilograms of freshwater fish.
It’s enough for this group of people to eat as much as they want!
Mu Jiu was not the kind of person who would eat his entire family, so he gave about 200 kilograms of ordinary fish to the family in the ancestral hall and asked them to take them to the temple.
It’s not that Mu Jiu is stingy, not everyone has a portable space.
Just carrying these 200 kilograms of fish may be a bit difficult for that family.
When it was completely dark, Mu Jiu and his group returned to the ancestral hall.
I immediately saw the entire family huddled in a corner of the ancestral hall, huddled together, trembling with fear...
Mu Jiu turned his head and looked around the ancestral hall, only to see that the windows on both sides were now covered with strange creatures looking inside!
Faces, so soaked by water that their original appearance could no longer be recognized, were piled up on the window glass.
They were using their strange eyes, which were the size of green beans, to roll around and scan everything inside the window.
There were also a few old monsters with green moss growing on their heads, licking the outer glass with their large yellow tongues covered with sores and pus.
As if this was some kind of incomparable delicacy, leaving behind patches of disgusting yellow-green pus...
Seeing this made Mu Jiu feel sick...
When I turned around, I saw Xiao Huang cleaning up the pots and pans, preparing to kill fish for dinner.
Mu Jiu...yue!
