Chapter 138: Ao Asakura

A month later, RB Hokkaido, Atsutamura. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the old saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains and the water depends on the water, because RB Hokkaido is surrounded by the sea and has abundant fish, so almost all the villagers near the seaside villages make a living from fishing, even if it is still the case today with the development of science and technology.

Atsuta Village is close to the RB Sea, and the village is basically full of fishermen, so it is very fortunate that they have to sail out to sea before the sun rises and come back at sunset. Fishermen have relied on the sky for food since ancient times, so their income is very unstable, and if the sea is happy today, then they will catch a lot of fish and return with a full load, if the sea is angry that day, then not only can not catch half a fish, but even lose their lives.

Therefore, the fishermen by the sea believe in the gods very much, and every household will worship all kinds of god tablets, and there are many gods in this country, and they will always find a god they want to worship.

Takao Asakura, an ordinary fisherman in Atsuta Village, is about 60 years old, with dark and smooth skin, rough and wide palms, and messy hair, telling others that he is an authentic Hokkaido fisherman.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, he got up early, after a simple freshening up and went out of the house, as an old fisherman who has been fishing for decades, he can already simply calculate the good or bad weather in the sea, today is a good day with a bright sun, if the luck is not bad, there should be a lot of harvest.

Aakura's fishing boat is not large, only five meters in front and back, which is considered a small fishing boat. But he is the most famous fisherman within a radius of dozens of miles. Because the ancient fishing industry has withstood the invasion of heavy industry, several families have cooperated to buy medium-sized or even large fishing boats, and every time they go to sea, they go deep into the deep sea area, and all the big and small fish are caught, because the seafood market in RB is too large, and any fish can be sold in it at a good price.

For these uncontrolled indiscriminate hunting and killing, Aakura Xiong has always scoffed, and his heart is full of anger. The vast expanse of the sea is full of unknowns and mysteries, and people should be in awe of it and grateful, rather than just knowing that it is useless to ask for it and not know how to be grateful.

Every time he saw the fishermen pull big fish and small fish ashore, Asakura would run over and warn him, but the fishermen didn't care, laughing, and even laughing at his stupidity and meddlesomeness. But he still did the same thing, day after day, year after year.

This is a stubborn and eccentric old man, this is what all the fishermen in the neighborhood say about Aakura Yu, but even so, these fishermen are full of awe and admiration for this old man, without him, this old man's fishing skills are really too powerful.

Yuki Asakura never goes with people, and every time he travels alone and in a single boat, but every time he goes to sea, he has a reward. He seems to be blessed by this sea, and has become the Xin Yuner of this sea, and he has not been harmed for decades.

One of his fishing characteristics is that all the small fish are released, and only one fish is caught at a time. But the fish he caught every time was a precious species, and it could be sold for a lot of money. This legendary experience made him a legend known to everyone in the villages within a radius of dozens of miles.

Whenever someone asked him what he knew, he would smoke a cheap cigarette and reply faintly: "If you are in awe of this sea, then this sea will bless you." And the fishermen who heard this would scoff and not believe it at all, but think that he was hiding and lying.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was still pitch black, and Yu Asakura took advantage of the faint light of the ship to start the motor, and the boat let out a beeping sound and slowly sailed towards the sea.

Asakura never used a net, he used very old fishing techniques, a line, a hook, and a homemade bait were enough.

This craft has been passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors, and it does not hurt the harmony of the heavens, is worthy of his heart, does not seek great wealth and wealth, but only seeks abundant food and clothing. So every time the boss of the fish market paid him a lot of money to catch a few more precious fish, he refused without hesitation, and still went his own way, one a day, no more, no less.

Stopping the boat on the sea that he had estimated a few days ago, Aakura Yu skillfully pulled out the fishing line that had been tied up a long time ago, and slowly put it into the blue sea under the boat, and the other end of the fishing line was tightly wrapped around his index finger, and then he just had to wait for the fish to take the bait.

Today, Aakura Xiong is going to catch Kaji fish, which is divided into two kinds of fish called red Kayoshi and black Kaji, the scientific name of red Kayoshi is true sea bream, and black Kaji is black sea bream, and he is here this time specifically for the most precious black sea bream fish in it. This is a few days ago the fish market boss Asaoka specially booked in advance, as a fisherman in addition to going out to sea to fish, but also have to deal with various owners of the seafood market, even he has always been pure and has few desires, after all, he also has to eat, live.

After decades of fishing, he has long been familiar with this sea, just like his own backyard, where there are fish, there are no fish, and he knows exactly where those fish like to feed.

Black sea bream is an pelagic fish, adapted to grow in water temperatures between 18-36C, like to swarm, basically catching one means that there are a large number of fish in this area, and what Aakura has to do is to screen out the largest of them, as for the rest, as usual, release into the sea.

Sure enough, the hook hadn't been put down for more than ten minutes, and the fishing line on Aakura's index finger moved slightly, which meant that there were already fish eating the hook on the bottom of the sea. With a happy look on his face, he immediately reeled in the line, his calloused palm firmly grasped the fishing line, and then jerked it up.

"Hey, how can it be so heavy, isn't it a black sea bream. Asakura was shocked to know that sea bream generally weighs between 1.8 and 3.2 kilograms as an adult, and rare fish can only reach a maximum of 9 kilograms. But he weighed the weight in his hand and estimated that this thing was at least more than a hundred catties.

Although he was surprised, he still unhurriedly retracted the line, and the end of the line seemed to be tied to a dead object, and he had no strength to struggle at all.

"Could it be that it is a sunken wood caught on the bottom of the sea?" the more Asakura thought about it, the more possible it became, because according to his decades of fishing experience, there were many sunken ships in this area, so it was not uncommon to catch rotten ship logs.

The line grew shorter and shorter, and suddenly a dark piece of scorched wood surfaced.

"What a sunken log!" Asakura laughed, and just as he was about to reach over to get the hook, his face turned pale, and he stepped back, slumped to the ground in fright.

"No, it's a dead man......"
