Chapter 33: The Big Fish
Fengyun walked along the riverbank, holding a clay pot in his hand, and Lei followed not far behind him, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, several zhang long.
They were followed by a man, Bamboo, who held a large pottery bowl in his hand.
Wu and Storm stood not far away, their eyes moving with the three of them.
The three of them are fishing in the river.
Fengyun is in charge of releasing the fish card from the clay pot, and Lei uses a bamboo pole to pick it up into the water far from the shore.
Bamboo scatters some boiled seeds where the fish card sinks, attracting the fish to bite the fish card.
It didn't take long for the fish card to finish.
Fengyun stuck a stick deep into the river bank and tied the end of the fish card to it.
"Alright. ”
Fengyun clapped his hands, turned around and walked towards Wu Hebang.
"Yun, can this fish card really catch fish?"
Ray glanced into the river.
"Brother Lei, the fish card has already gone down to the river, and it will soon be known whether you can catch a fish. ”
Fengyun is reluctant to argue, he believes that facts speak louder than words.
"Wu, Uncle Tyrant, it's over. Let's go fishing. ”
Fengyun walked to Wu He's side, bent down and picked up a bag of animal skins, which contained many thin wooden sticks.
"When will you collect the fish card?"
Storm took a step back, so that Ray could pick up a bundle of bamboo poles on the ground.
"It should be about the same when the sun goes overhead. ”
Fengyun stretched out his hand and pointed to the sun.
A group of five people walked forward about fifty zhang away, and Fengyun, who was walking in front, stopped.
He placed the leather bag on the ground and poured out all the contents of it, in addition to a large number of sticks, fishing tackle, a bone knife, and a large piece of fresh meat.
Fengyun asked for the bamboo pole from the thunder, tied the fishing line firmly to the tip of the bamboo pole, cut off a piece of fresh meat, hung it on the hook, shook it vigorously, and flew out with a swish, and fell into the river with a thud.
Fengyun plunged the end of the bamboo pole deep into the earth, picked up a thin wooden stick, and tied a string attached to it to the bamboo pole.
He didn't stop there, he reached out and gestured, picked up another thin wooden stick and stuck it in the dirt directly below the bamboo pole.
Approaching the bamboo pole, clamping it with the armpit and pressing it down, both hands grabbed two wooden sticks and leaned their ends together.
At this time, everyone found out that the ends of the two wooden sticks were partially cut off, forming two 7s, one against and one on the right, which could be buckled together with each other.
Little by little, reduce the force exerted on the bamboo pole and make sure that the two thin wooden sticks do not come apart.
"It worked. ”
Fengyun's arms were completely off the stick, which was still clasped together, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Cloud boy, is this what you mean by fishing?"
Storm looked at the fishing rod that Fengyun had set up and asked.
"Yes and no. ”
"Is it or isn't?"
"It's because it's a way of fishing, but it's done so that you can get out and do something else, and it's not because people don't fish this way in general. ”
"What is the general situation?"
"When he grabbed the rod with his hand and saw that a fish had bitten, he immediately lifted the rod upwards and hooked the fish. ”
"The hook is so deep that I can't see it with my eyes, so how do I know if a fish has bitten it?"
"It's up to the float. I wore some floats made of bird feathers on the fishing line. ”
Fengyun picked up a set of fishing tackle and explained.
"When it's time to start fishing, adjust it to the depth of the water, so that some of them go deep and some of them float on the surface. If a fish bites, you can tell by them. ”
"That's right. Cloud boy, you're so smart. ”
An expression of sudden realization was revealed.
The others also had the same expressions on their faces.
Before Fengyun gave an answer, they also had the same confusion as Storm.
"What kind of changes have occurred in the float that is the best time to start the rod?"
Storm continued to ask.
"It depends on the specific situation, different fish, the change of the float will be different, you need to figure it out by the angler himself. ”
"Wouldn't I fail so many times?"
It's hard to hide your disappointment.
"Storm, you're too anxious. Fishing is the same as hunting, how can you become a master at once? With more practice and more care, I believe you will definitely become an excellent fishing master. ”
Wu spoke to comfort the tyrant.
"Yun, I didn't see a float on the fishing line for the set of fishing tackle you just set up, how can you know that there is a fish bite and make sure that you can catch a fish?"
Wu apparently became interested in the fishing tackle that Fengyun had just set up.
"There is no need for floats. If a fish bites, the line will ......."
Fengyun stopped, not that he didn't want to continue to explain, but that he didn't have to explain anymore.
As he spoke, there was already movement, and the line suddenly sank downwards and tightened.
The downward pull of the line pulls the rod downward, causing the two thin sticks that hold the rod to detach.
The rod immediately began to return to its original state, and the tip of the rod suddenly bounced up, pulling the line back, but only after a short distance it stopped.
In the next moment, the line slammed to the bottom, and the rod began to bend again.
"Caught!"
Fengyun rushed over with a brisk stride, pulled out the fishing rod from the ground, grabbed it firmly with both hands, pulled it back, and wrestled with the fish in the water.
"Did you really catch a fish? Quick, quick, pull it up and have a look. ”
Stormed to Fengyun's side, reaching out to help him pull the fishing rod.
Wu, Lei, and Zhu also came around, and the three pairs of eyes were staring at the water, their eyes full of eagerness and curiosity, eager to penetrate the water and see the fish caught by the hook.
"Okay. ”
Fengyun exerted his hands and pulled the rod back sharply, and the rod immediately turned into a curved bow.
As soon as the water splashed, a silver light burst out of the water and fell heavily to the ground, making a crisp crack.
The first one rushed over, and the others followed closely behind him, and even the steady Wu almost ran up.
Fengyun followed, poking his head through the gap between the storm and the thunder, and looking towards the ground.
Lying on the ground was a large fish that was longer than an adult's arm, its scales glistening in the sunlight.
It has a strange shape, almost as thick as a stick, and looks like a stick.
The mouth is open, covered with sharp nails, neatly arranged, forming the appearance of a saw, which is very terrifying.
It didn't move, and it was clear that a hard fall had killed it.
"It's a stick fish, it's extremely fast, it's very difficult to catch one on weekdays, but I didn't expect to catch one so easily today. ”
Burst with smiles on his face.
"That's the cloud's fishing tackle. ”
Wu has not forgotten the merits of Fengyun.
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Storm nodded repeatedly.
"Although I thought from the beginning that the cloud's tackle could catch fish, I just didn't expect it to be so easy. ”
"There was some luck this time, and I didn't expect to succeed in one attempt. ”
"It's already pretty good. Just like hunting, no one can guarantee that every hunt will be successful. ”
"Wu, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later. Let's give it a try and see who catches the first fish. ”
Tyranny's proposal was immediately supported by Lei and Zhu, who took fishing rods and hooks one after another, and set them up in the appearance of scholars and clouds.
Later, Wu couldn't hold back anymore and also participated.
Fengyun nodded, picked up his fishing tackle, and walked farther away.
By the time the five of them set up their fishing rods, Fengyun had already made all the fishing gear, and even hung the bait on the hooks.
Five people lined up, about two feet apart.
There are indeed a lot of fish in the river, and the hook has just sunk into the water, and there is a fish situation.
The fish came from the bamboo, and the floats in front of him suddenly all sank into the water.
He subconsciously jerked the fishing rod, but met with great resistance, and the rod was pulled into a semicircle.
The power from under the water continued unabated, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and his body began to lean forward.
"Not good!"
Fengyun, who was closest to Take, immediately realized that the situation was not good, pulled the hook out of the water, threw it on the shore, and rushed towards him.
Finally, before his body was pulled by the fish and rushed into the river, he grabbed the rod in his hand.
"It's a big fish!"
As soon as his hand touched the fishing rod, Fengyun realized that this time it was a big fish, at least much bigger than the one he had caught before.
He did not use brute force and fight hard with the fish, but was sometimes tight and sometimes loose, skillfully defusing the impact of the big fish again and again.
The fishing line of the tackle he handed over to Bamboo was relatively thin, and although the line was strong and the witans were twisted, he was reluctant to take any chances.
Wait until you have exhausted some of the fish's strength, and then pull it ashore.
"Cloud boy, pull it quickly. What are you rubbing on?"
Fengyun is not in a hurry, but the storm is in a hurry.
"Uncle Tyrant, this time it's a big guy, I'm worried that the fishing line will be broken, I'm going to walk it. ”
"How big is it?"
"I don't know. But it should be a lot bigger than the one just now. ”
"I'll take a look. ”
Tyranny put away his fishing rod and walked over to him.
"You try to keep the fish's head close to the water, and I'll help you. ”
Fengyun had been walking for almost five minutes, and there was no sign of an end, and Storm was a little impatient.
At this time, Lei and Wu have already had a harvest, especially Wu, who has already caught three.
"I'll try my best. ”
Fengyun began to exert force, and the line was pulled out of the water little by little.
After a while, a thick black shadow appeared beneath the water's surface.
Although it is still difficult to see, it is certain that it is definitely a big guy.
There was a bang, the water splashed, and the head of the fish finally came out of the water, and it was even bigger than a human head by two laps.
The big fish twisted violently, and most of its body was exposed to the water.
Fengyun's heart tightened, realizing that it was going to exert its strength, ready to break free from the shackles of the fishing line.
As soon as the strength in his hand is loosened, Fengyun is ready to release the line, not wanting to confront the big fish head-on, worrying that the fishing line will not be able to withstand it.
At this moment, a swishing sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
At the same time, he saw a black dot shoot towards the fish's head, striking a deep hole.
The big fish suddenly lost his strength, and his tense body softened.
The wind and clouds pulled it to the shore, and the probe grabbed its gills and pulled it up.
That's a big one.
Half as long as his body, conservatively estimated, at least twice his weight.
