Yuan Qiu squatted at the head of the pit and looked in. He saw that the soil that Zimo was carrying out in baskets was getting moister and wetter, so he knew that something was about to happen.
Zimo was so exhausted that even all his endless strength was lost in the endless excavation. He was sweating all over his head, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes contained a faint resentment: "Xia Yuanqiu, you are Are you kidding me?" At first he thought there was some treasure buried in the ground, and she was worried about letting others dig it, so she asked him to do it himself. But after three days of digging, not even a single stone was found, let alone the treasure.
Yuan Qiu squatted on top of the pit and stared at Zimo's feet. When he saw water seeping upward, he hurriedly shouted: "Come up quickly, hurry up!"
Zimo also sensed that something was wrong. He felt that the ground beneath his feet was sinking downwards. His heart trembled, and he quickly dropped the tools in his hands and regained his strength to get out of the pit.
Just when his feet were standing at the head of the pit, all the mud bottom in the pit had collapsed, and water overflowed upwards. It soon filled one third of the pit. Fortunately, it stopped above the third third. There is no upward momentum.
Zimo was still frightened, looking at the clear water protruding from it, he said angrily: "You are committing murder!"
Yuan Qiu chuckled, stretched out his fist and hit his chest, and said with a smile: "You are so skilled, how could you be in danger? Think about it, if it were Yuan Hao and I, we would still be able to come up. What?"
Zimo was very pleased with this compliment and said with a smile: "That's right. In this way, I can be regarded as saving the lives of your siblings. Since my contribution is so great, you can't just drive me away in the future, do you understand? "
Yuan Qiu secretly laughed, this guy really wouldn't waste such a good opportunity, he was busy asking for credit and reward as soon as he avoided danger.
"Yes, yes, savior, you can stay in my house as long as you want, okay?"
Zimo was in a good mood, and his peach blossom eyes shone brightly, as if all the brilliance of the stars had been absorbed in an instant.
"Sister, what do you think that is?" Yuan Hao ran to the two of them at some point, squatted at the head of the pit and looked in.
Following what Yuan Hao pointed, the two of them stared and saw a small white-backed fish swimming in the water.
Yuan Qiu was overjoyed. As she expected, this was a blind fish unique to underground rivers. The meat was very tender and could be used as medicine. It was not only a delicious dish, but also had nourishing and health-preserving effects.
"Yuan Hao, go and get the fish I made yesterday." Yuan Qiu felt happy. With this blind fish, she had another way to make money.
Her goal is to earn enough money to open a medical clinic in the capital. Although she doesn't know how much she will need, the more the better.
She is not the real Xia Yuanqiu, so there is no way she can stay in this small ravine forever and bury her medical skills. As a doctor, it is her duty to help the world and practice medicine, so she will leave sooner or later.
Yuan Hao quickly fetched a fish bag with a fishing net tied to a long bamboo pole. Zimo, who was strong, also brought a water tank. Yuan Qiu stretched the fish bag into the water to catch fish.
The reason why the fish is called blind fish is because they live in underground rivers for many years without seeing the light of day. Their eyes gradually degenerate until they are completely blind. Blind fish have no eyes, but other functions of their bodies are still very sensitive, so Yuan Qiu thought It is not easy to catch blind fish easily.
Zimo couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the fish bag, stirred it in the water very quickly, and when he lifted it up, the flexible blind fish was lying in the fish bag.
