"Are you sure that the barrier is placed here?" Bockaar asked suspiciously, wondering if he had found the wrong place.
"It should be here." Claude wasn't sure if it was this location. That day, he only remembered that Erikson said that the water here was more than four meters deep and dropped the block. He really didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scene.
"I forgot." Viricero spread his hands, but he simply said so.
Erikson looked at the surrounding environment carefully before answering with certainty: "This is it. I remembered it correctly. Everyone who is familiar with water life will remember the location before setting the barrier. I will not do this." Incorrect"
"Then, is it possible that it could be taken away by others?" Bockaar asked. If that were the case, the loss would be huge. The Erikson family's block is worth at least ten silver thalers.
"It shouldn't be possible," Erikson wasn't sure. "The wooden buoy tube above the barrier has the logo of our Otruni family. People in White Deer Town will know that it belongs to our family at a glance. Moreover. The method of interlacing the ropes used in weaving the ropes is also unique and is specially used at sea. Others will quickly find out if they collect the ropes. Besides, the fishermen in Bailu Town know the rules and are unlikely to pick up the ropes set by others."
"Last time, you said that there have been many new people coming to Bailu Town in the past six months, and some of them are not honest," Bok'ar said.
"There are some new fishermen who don't understand the rules, but they don't have the guts to stop us. The dock inspectors in the town keep a close eye on them, and they will be severely punished if they break the rules. You know this year we The town is still short of more than half of its quota of conscripts, and the patrols, tax collectors, and inspectors are counting on these people to fill the holes."
Well, what Ericson said is right. This year, Bailu Town decided to renovate the east road and prepare to expand the town eastward again next year. However, due to lack of human and financial resources, the idea was directed to the slaves, and it was flattering. It's called reform through labor. As long as the civilians in the town commit a crime, even the slightest mistake will result in at least three months of hard labor. In this way, they only need to provide some pig food and tools to get free labor.
If someone tried to take it away, he would have no place to take action. He would be discovered as soon as he got to the pier. Even the stores in town that collect illegal goods are not willing to spend money to stop the Ericson family. This matter will easily reach the ears of Captain Altruni, and then no matter whether it is selling or collecting Nothing good will happen
"Let's look for it again. Maybe it just drifted away, or it was taken to another place by the passing ships." Viricero said.
"It's impossible. There's a lead pendant underneath. It's so heavy that it can float away and be taken away by a ship. It's impossible. People on the ship will find it if it's hooked." Erikson muttered.
But half an hour later, after almost drawing a big circle there, I finally found the barrier.
"It's strange, how did this guy end up here? This is already the lakeside." Ericson was puzzled.
It can be said that this place is already next to the stone sentry post, almost a hundred meters away from the place where the blockade was placed. If the red pontoon above the barrier wasn't very conspicuous on the water, it would have been hard to see it for a while.
As soon as he pulled it back, Viricolo frowned: "Why is it so heavy? It couldn't be because it was hooked to the water plants at the bottom of the lake or something?"
As Lan was dragged onto the boat, Viricero suddenly shouted in surprise: "There is a fish, there is a big fish."
There was a really big fish, only one, and it was dead.
However, this big fish was at least one meter and a half long. It broke through one grid of the barrier, but was trapped by the grid next to it. It couldn't break free. It struggled for a long time, and finally brought the barrier here. die of exhaustion
After the fish was dragged onto the boat, Ericson laughed happily: "It turned out to be a black tiger fish, such a big black tiger fish, haha, no one in the town has ever caught such a big black tiger fish."
Black tiger fish is also a specialty fish of Lake Beringa. This fish lives at the bottom of the lake and is extremely difficult to catch. Its meat is delicious and tender, making it a treasure among fishes. Moreover, this fish has a violent temper and will die soon after being caught by fishermen, making it impossible to breed.
This is another great gift bag I picked up on my return trip. No one expected that a casually put down barrier would yield such a big harvest.
