Chapter 47 History of the Rise and Fall of Little Rivers

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ?

    "Do you go to that small river often?" I brought the topic to the small river in the distance.

    I always have an inexplicable feeling for things like rivers and ditches.

    "I used to go there often. It turned out that there were many small crabs and small fish in the river, but there are fewer and fewer, and the river water is getting shallower and shallower. We don't go to the river much to play." From Yang Er's words, I can tell  Feel his loss.

    This small river should also carry a lot of joy for him and Tan Tingwa.

    It's just that for some reason, the river water drops, the fish and shrimps decrease, and it loses its fun.

    "In our hometown, about 50 meters away from my house, there is also a small river ditch, about 2-3 meters wide"

    "The water in the river is very clear, and you can see the crabs and small fish swimming at the bottom of the water." Speaking of this, I seem to fall into memory, describing the small river while talking about things related to it, and I seem to be in the  By the side of the small river, the scenery in the river leaps into the eyes, and the sound of wind and water passes by the ears.

    Actually, now I really want to go to the river in front to have a look.  I want to know whether the same fish and crabs live in different places and different environments.

    Perhaps Tan Tingwa saw what I was thinking, so she suggested that we continue to move forward and go to the river to have a look. After all, they haven't been to this small river for a long time.

    The journey is not far away. While walking, watching and chatting, while being happy, the distance can be shortened inadvertently.

    Not long after, we came to the river.

    Strictly speaking, this is not a river, not only because the water is too shallow, but also the width is not as wide as they described before, and the visual distance is less than 2 meters.

    On the other side of the river, along the riverside, weeds were overgrown, and the withered weeds fell into the water randomly.

    The side of the river bank, which is where our feet are stepping on, is more than one meter higher than the other bank, but I always feel that the height of this bank is not coordinated at all, which is very awkward.

    There are many bamboos planted on the bank, and the bamboo leaves fall with the wind, covering the bottom of the river.

    The river water is still clear, but the water is not deep, and the slightly larger stones can be flush with the water surface.

    The bamboo leaves at the bottom of the river alternate with old and new ones. After the bamboo leaves fall into the water, they are washed to the bottom of the river with the water waves and stick to the bottom. Occasionally, silt sticks to the bamboo leaves and slowly covers them.

    Crab?  fish?  It seems that the shadow has not been seen.

    "Is it like this before? Why does it feel like no one has been here for a long time?" I still have great confidence in the river I am looking forward to.

    At first, when Yang Er and the others said that there were no fish here, I was very skeptical, because in my impression, as long as there is "running water", there will be fish.

    However, after seeing the actual situation of the river, it is inevitable that you will be disappointed.

    Judging from my experience, there really shouldn't be any fish here, at most a few small crabs would be terrible.  Even if there are fish, it will not appear in this paragraph.

    The entire section of the river gives people the feeling that there is no "angry". I believe many people have this intuition.

    When we see a pond or a section of river, if the color of the water is filthy or abnormal, the first thing we feel is that there are no fish.

    There is another situation, which is what we call when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

    In the clear river, there is no shelter, and the fish will not stay, and just swim away along the water.

    What should a normal vibrant river look like?

    On the shore, there are green flowers and plants.

    On the shore, there are patchwork weeds covering the water.

    In the water, no matter whether it is clear to the bottom or not, at least it cannot be dirty.

    The depth of the water bottom should not be blindly flat. The heights and heights are scattered to form a drop, and there must be a "nest".

    In this way, the fish have a place to stay and are willing to stay.

    Fish like to hide in the "grass" and will not be placed in the middle of the water in a fair manner. Isn't that just letting others slaughter them?

    The grass on the shore is not only a "nest" for fish, but also their food source.

    Wouldn't some people naively think that fish only need to drink water to grow up?

    Similarly, crabs also need privacy.

    Most crabs will build their homes by the river, especially under the roots of trees on both sides of the river, under the grass, or even under the stones.

    Crabs are amphibious creatures, unlike fish, they like to stay at the bottom of the water all the time.

    The shore is the best choice. Dig a hole and live in it. The hole is basically level with the water surface, and slightly higher than the water surface is the best.

    In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone.  When the conditions are not allowed, the crab will still chooseChoose the bottom of the water, and will not dig holes in dry places.

    "Look, there are really no fish. It was like this when we came here before." When Yang Er saw that the situation in the river was not much different from the previous one, he could still feel his loss.

    I guess so, as a boy, who doesn't like to catch fish and catch shrimp?  But now it is really lost, and it cannot be reversed, it can only be a sigh.

    "When there were fish and crabs here at first, what is the difference from now?" I asked the question in my heart.  They said that there were fish and crabs before, but for some unknown reason, they suddenly disappeared.

    "It's probably been 2 years. At that time, my cousin and I came here to play, and found that there were many crabs in the river, and there were also small fish by the river"

    "Oh, by the way, the water was relatively deep at that time, almost level with the shore"

    I took a closer look at the bank. Although I couldn't see the marks left by the river 2 years ago, the water depth has dropped by at least half from the marks washed out by the water on the bank.

    "I heard from my second aunt that the river is very wide, and it has to go to the opposite field ridge." Tan Tingwa came here to play when she was a child, and it is said that Yang Er could not walk at that time.

    Along the shore, looking towards the opposite field ridge, there is an open space of about 2 meters between the shore and the field ridge.

    The open space is not planted with anything, it is full of weeds, and it does not look like cultivated land.

    It turned out that it was only after I saw that the opposite field ridge was level with our shore, that I realized where the problem of incongruity at first came from.

    The opposite bank was newly formed due to insufficient water flow, rather than being washed out naturally.

    The real shore is the field ridge on the other side!

    "Then do you know why the bank on the other side of the river moves to the middle?"

    "Well, it is said that the river diverted at the upstream bank. It was originally intended to cut off the river directly, but in order to retain the downstream irrigation needs, the water flow was reduced a lot, and it was not cut off in the end."

    "Oh, so that's the case, then it makes sense. After the water flow is diverted, the water flow here decreases, and the upstream fish also swim away along the diverted river, resulting in less water here and no fish.  The reason" I finally figured out the reason of the river, and I was quite happy in my heart.

    "It turned out to be like this. It's a pity. I don't think there will be any way to fish anymore in the future," Yang Er said in frustration.

    "Yeah, but it's okay, you can play other things if you can't touch fish." I wanted to comfort Yang Er and tell him not to lose, but people have to experience growth. Besides, rivers have more important tasks. We should  Happy for him, no?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
