Chapter 497: Fishing
The pure natural lake is naturally not comparable to those man-made lakes, take a closer look, it seems that the swimming fish here are more lively, there is no food for them at all, but they jump very happily, often jump up from the lake, can splash a large ripple, drift along the ripples into the distance, crush the clear green peaks.
"Can you tell me what it's like to fight those demons?"
When the two-story boat began to glide on the lake, Sauron leaned over, seemed to have a good relationship with Mickey, put his arm around his shoulders, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Are those demons as terrible as the legend says?
"How come? Demons are demons, not monsters in some story!" Mickey pushed Sauron away from him in disgust: "Anyway, those demons won't be invulnerable, although the hard armor on their bodies has a certain defensive ability, but the defensive ability is not strong, ordinary long swords can also be broken, but it takes a little strength." ”
Sauron was not annoyed by Mickey's pushing, but continued to stand next to him and asked, "Mickey, how many of those demons have you killed?"
"Hmph, do you think I'm you? Ordinary demons can't carry it under my sword for three minutes, can they beat the demons? It's proof that I can come back alive!"
After speaking, Mickey glanced at Lu Tao with a weak heart, Lu Tao naturally shrugged his shoulders, and did not expose Mickey's lies, this kind of lie doesn't matter, anyway, Lu Tao doesn't know Sauron, and he has no friendship with him, so it's not bad to let Mickey play prestige in front of his friends.
"Huh, since you can do it, doesn't it mean that I can also kill a few demons, I am a little moved by what you say, my swordsmanship used to be much better than yours, none of those gangsters on the street of Issos are my opponents, and I have defeated them one-on-five. ”
Mickey pouted: "How can those gangsters be compared to demons, you don't want to think about the most powerful human country at the beginning, but it was wiped out by demons, do you think the gangsters can do it?"
"Hehe, okay, okay, don't talk about this, I used to be quite afraid of demons, but now when I hear Mickey say this, I'm not afraid, it's a big deal, I can fight with a real knife and a gun, I can't beat it, I don't know, but it should be okay to run away, right?" As he spoke, Sauron glanced at Mickey up and down a few times, the meaning of which was self-evident, as if he was exuding a silent mockery.
Sauron's cousin just sat there, quietly watching his cousin talk to Mickey, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the lake.
For Sauron's mocking eyes, Mickey didn't have any special feelings, and he didn't mean to pay attention to Sauron, he asked for two or three fishing rods from the captain, and by the way, he took some bait and handed it to Lu Tao: "In the morning, the fish in this lake are quite easy to catch, let's catch some fish casually, and take these fish for lunch at noon, and there is also a cooking place on the boat." ”
Lu Tao took the fishing rod and took it in his hand, this kind of fishing rod made of bamboo, although it looks very thin, but it is actually very strong, Lu Tao lived in his grandmother's house when he was a child, and he ran to the river to see an old man fishing with such a fishing rod, feeling that no matter how big the fish is, it can be easily dragged up, because he often goes to the river, the fishing grandfather also once left the fish that could not be loaded to Lu Tao, which is something that Lu Tao remembers vividly.
Sauron not at all
politely picked up the only remaining fishing rod from the ground, and said to himself: "Hey, brother, I will definitely let you have a good meal today, in terms of the level of fishing, no one can compare to me, you just look at it." ”
This ship is two stories high, although the lower part is not in the water, for fishing, but it is still too high, fortunately there is a special place for fishing on this ship, it is a platform that extends directly from the rumors, this looks like a small aircraft carrier at first glance from a distance, fortunately, the platform does not have any superfluous role, just used for fishing.
Several people went down to the platform together, and Sauron's cousin also followed, and under the platform was a wooden board that didn't feel very thick, and Lu Tao always had a very unstable feeling when he stepped on it, but fortunately, it was much better after getting used to it.
Although Lu Tao has seen others fishing, he himself is not very good at fishing, the platform below is not small, just so that everyone can occupy an area, so that the fishing line will not be entangled together, Sauron skillfully hung the bait on the hook, and then flung it with a fishing rod that did not even have a reel, and the hook fell into the water, leaving only half of the fish exposed.
Following Sauron's example, Lu Tao also hung the bait on the hook, but he couldn't catch it when he wanted him to throw the hook out, so in the end, like fishing, the hook hung directly below.
The boat stopped in the middle of the lake, but it was not enough to let a boatload of people drag the hook to run, and fishing for fish between the beautiful mountains and rivers of the lake was also a special experience for Lu Tao.
......
"Here, come, look at me!" Sauron shouted, lifting his rod with all his might, and then, a large fish the length of a calf leaped up from the water, and was thrown to the ground by Sauron, jumping and jumping, but unable to break free from the hook.
"Hahaha! I'm already the fifth, you two need to work harder!" Sauron's face was about to burst into laughter, and on the plank behind him, there were four knocked out fish neatly arranged, and one was bigger than the other, as if there were some handicraft in the past, and the more he fished, the more skilled he became.
There are two small fish behind Mickey, about the length of a palm, lying there alone, looking a little pitiful, Lu Tao is even more pitiful, there is not a single fish behind him, the bait hanging on the hook has been eaten by the fish several times, but there is not a single hooked fish, how embarrassing it is to say.
In fact, Lu Tao doesn't have any special expectations for whether he can catch a fish, he is a complete novice, the new can't be new, and it's common for him to not be able to catch a fish, but he can't catch a fish and be ridiculed by others, it's still a sad thing, but Lu Tao has nothing to do, these fish can't understand people's words, besides, even if they can understand people's words, they can't let them take the bait when they say they can take the bait.
Therefore, in the face of Sauron's ridicule, Lu Tao still endured it, and Mickey on the other side did a good job, he didn't react at all, he still looked at the fish float in front of him leisurely, waiting for the fish with or without to take the bait.
Lu Tao silently thought in his heart: Hurry up and have a big fish, hurry up with a big fish, hurry up with a big fish! Then he looked expectantly at the fish drift that belonged to him on the water, but unfortunately, not only the surface of the lake, but also the fish float, there was no change as he imagined.
"Hahaha! Another fish! Good luck today!" Sauron's voice sounded again, and this time it was a strange red fish that was even bigger than the previous one, red
The scales reflect a beautiful glow in the sun, and even the eyes are golden.
"Wow, it's actually a dragonfish, you guys are blessed today. Sauron sighed twice: "This kind of thing can't be caught at leisure, the last time I ate it was when I was a child, it tasted really good, better than any fish I've ever eaten, you can steam it later, you don't have to put anything." ”
Lu Tao also looked at the big red fish and was amazed, it looked like a big red carp, but the head of the fish was not very similar, the dragon fish that Sauron said Lu Tao naturally had not heard of, if it was a golden dragon fish, he was still familiar with it.
Thinking like this, Lu Tao suddenly felt that his hand sank, and the fish float disappeared directly on the surface of the lake, as if he had hooked something big, Lu Tao reflexively pulled the fishing rod upward, but found that the fishing rod was bent into an exaggerated arc, and he quickly relieved his strength, lest the fishing rod in his hand be torn off.
Lu Tao's movements attracted the attention of others, and Mickey directly put down the fishing rod in his hand, ran to Lu Tao's side, and reminded him: "First find a way to guide the fish under the water to circle around, don't have a hard top with it, and try to consume the fish's strength first." ”
Lu Tao naturally knows such skills, and even Lu Tao knows that at this time, he should release the line, let the underwater fish pull the line, consume the strength, and then reel the line and drag the fish back, so that after a few times, the strength of the fish will be consumed, no matter how big the fish is, it can be caught, but it is a pity that it ...... If a small boat is fine, it can steer the boat to run with the fish, but this two-story boat can't do this, it's too inflexible.
Lu Tao was still thinking about these haves and not, the fish that he didn't know what it was, and pressed the fishing rod in Lu Tao's hand into an exaggerated arc, breaking or stopping, it seemed to be a matter of an instant.
"Oops! This fish is too strong! Throw the rod away, or you'll get hurt if it explodes!"
Mickey's voice came from the side and back, but Lu Tao didn't want to give up simply, he gritted his teeth, and simply took advantage of the fact that the fishing rod had been bent to this extent, and directly grabbed the fishing line not far in front, I don't know what material the fishing line is very strong, and the kind of fishing line used in modern society in Lu Tao's memory, if it is a normal person, maybe you have to worry about whether such a thin fishing line will cut your hand, Lu Tao has no such worries at all, he stretched out his hand to go around the fishing line, firmly controlled the fishing line in his hand, and then pulled it up directly like a tug-of-war, and the huge strength below seemed to become a baby, was dragged up by Lu Tao without fighting back.
With a bang, a large fish, almost a man tall, jumped out of the water, and even the two-story boat trembled, and when it landed on the plank, there was even an illusion that the fish would break the whole plank if it jumped a few more times.
"Oh my God!" Sauron was surprised that the rod in his hand fell: "This is a kingfish, there is no special harpoon, there is no big fish that can be caught! Hey! Isn't it too exaggerated to catch such a fish?!
The commotion outside attracted the captain and some of the sailors on the other side of the deck, and everyone watched in amazement at the big fish bouncing on the ground.
Lu Tao touched his chin, and then glanced at the fishing line in his hand, speaking of which, is this fishing line and hook a little too strong? This is equivalent to catching a shark with an ordinary fishing line and hook......
