That evening, Chen Hong received a call from the village chief informing her that the case of the armed fight had been closed!
The way things have developed is quite dramatic.
The people of Yujia Village were not punished in any way. Even the so-called "mastermind" Wang, the clan chief, was only detained for half a month before being brought home by the villagers in a great show.
Apart from the brothers Gao Chengshan and Gao Chengshui, the other five members of the Gao family who committed the knife attack in Xiyu Village were sentenced to prison terms ranging from six months to three years.
Other villagers from Xiyu Village who participated in the brawl were detained and fined. The brothers Gao Chengshan and Gao Chengshui, however, were found guilty of assault and death on X Island and were sentenced to life imprisonment and twenty years in prison, respectively.
Hearing that the two Gao brothers, those scoundrels, had been sentenced to heavy prison terms and would not be causing trouble for others for some time, she finally felt relieved.
During this time, although she lived in Jinan, she kept up with news about the Gao brothers.
To be honest, she was scared too!
I'm afraid those two lunatics will retaliate!
A madman who has lost his mind is uncontrollable, and an uncultured rogue's revenge is even more difficult to guard against.
As the old saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you! Living in constant fear is no fun!
She was relieved once the Gao brothers were inside.
Without the Gao brothers leading the way, the other villagers in Xiyu Village are nothing to fear; they are all ordinary people who dare not cause any more trouble.
The village issues were resolved perfectly, and Chen Hong and her mother's lives returned to normal.
Besides picking up and dropping off her children and working in the space, she would also take time to go to the Yellow River.
Fishing, feeding the fish, and looking for turtles!
She went for several days in a row, just as Chen Hong was lamenting that she had no chance with the turtle.
On a sunny Sunday, Chen Hong took her son fishing in the Yellow River. Yu Yang, who had sharp eyes, spotted a turtle poking its head out in the shallows.
The mother and daughter excitedly threw down their fishing rods and ran towards the turtle.
Yu Yangren has short calves, and his pants were soaked through!
Chen Hong turned around and was startled!
Oh my god! I was so excited I almost forgot about my son!
Forget about catching turtles, Chen Hong immediately turned around and ran back, picked up her son, and carried him back to the shore.
"Son, you scared me to death! Why are you so excited? You're so small, aren't you afraid of being swept away by the water?"
Look, my pants are all wet. I'll catch a cold when the sun goes down and the temperature drops.
Come on, sit quietly on the fishing box, bask in the sun, and watch Mom catch the turtle.
Yu Yang wasn't scared even though his clothes were wet; in fact, he was very excited. "Mom, I saw it! It really is a soft-shelled turtle. I've seen it on TV before."
It's sticking its head out to breathe, go catch it!
I won't run around anymore; I'll just stay on the shore and watch over you without going into the water. Don't worry!
Chen Hong took off her son's pants, leaving him only in a pair of boxer shorts.
I took off my coat and wrapped it around his body, then helped him sit down.
He patted his son's head and said, "Son, sit here and don't move, or you'll be naked."
"Watch Mom catches a turtle for you, and I'll make you soup tonight!"
Yu Yang held onto his mother's coat with both little hands, sitting obediently on the fishing box without daring to move.
"Mom, hurry, don't let it get away!"
Chen Hong: "Don't worry! That turtle won't get away!"
Chen Hong quickly ran towards the spot where she had just found the turtle, stirring up mud and sand that made the river water even muddier.
As she approached her destination, Chen Hong slowed down, bending over and feeling her way through the muddy yellow water.
She's done a lot of research these past few days. Apparently, turtles love to burrow into the mud, and the mud at the bottom of a river where turtles are present is very loose.
It can form a mud pit that is larger than the surrounding soft basin, and turtles can burrow into the mud bottom by 20 to 30 centimeters.
Chen Hong used both hands and feet, crawling on all fours, to explore the unusual parts of the muddy ground.
After touching it for more than ten minutes, I finally found a soft, muddy pit.
This must be it! With her back to Yang, Chen Hong secretly pulled out a wooden stick, about the thickness of a thumb and over a meter long, from the spatial dimension.
He poked it along the soft muddy puddle and felt it hit something hard. "A turtle shell!" Chen Hong thought with delight.
It's confirmed, there really is a turtle down there!
Chen Hong stuck a wooden stick into the muddy puddle beside her and slowly dug down the turtle shell she felt with both hands.
Chen Hong touched it and felt it was about to move!
Quickly press it down firmly with one hand to prevent it from moving.
This turtle struggled stubbornly, digging quickly into the mud and sand, trying to escape!
Having finally found a turtle, Chen Hong wasn't about to let it go easily.
I kept digging downwards with both hands and finally managed to pry open the two sides of its lid, but I couldn't pull it up no matter what I did.
The silt kept flowing back in, and in a short while, it filled the pit again.
This is the characteristic of the Yellow River: the silt is fine and sticky, and it is filled in again as soon as it is dug out.
The turtle in my hand struggled and burrowed deeper and deeper.
Chen Hong recalled the principle of the swamp!
She quickly lowered the soil, pressing down one inch at a time. The turtle got restless and started digging at the soil, slowly rising to the surface.
"Hahaha!" Chen Hong laughed, finally finding the trick! With a strong pull, Chen Hong pulled out a large turtle weighing four or five pounds.
Chen Hong switched to her right hand and grabbed the turtle's belly and the backs of its two hind legs, then rinsed the mud and sand off its body in the river water.
She held it up to her son and shouted, "Yu Yang, did you see that? Mom caught a turtle!"
Yu Yang clapped and cheered, "Mom is amazing! This turtle is huge!"
Chen Hong grabbed the turtle and walked back to the shore, showing it to Yu Yang. "Yu Yang, look closely, this turtle is so yellow! It's golden yellow, and look at its belly, it's golden yellow too."
This is a purebred Yellow River turtle! Son, do you know the characteristics of a Yellow River turtle? It's yellow, flat, and has the character "็" (king) on โโits shell!
