Chapter 38: Fishing in the Mountain Pool
For the next two days, Chu Mingcheng continued to fish for softshell turtles in the abandoned pond, but the catch dwindled, netting only eight turtles in two days, three of which were under four pounds and were released by him, leaving only five.
Together with the seven he caught the day before yesterday, he now has twelve wild softshell turtles at home.
The smallest is just over two pounds, with the largest weighing five pounds.
Chen Qing and the others will be coming to the island this afternoon, and all twelve turtles are spoken for by the three of them.
They can't eat them all themselves, so they can also give some away.
Today, as usual, he went for a run. There had been rain last night, leaving the air on the island exceptionally fresh, which made Chu Mingcheng's running feel even better today.
