"At half past twelve in the evening, let's see you at the bridge, these small fish will be put in your fish tank first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Hong Tao fished with the middle-aged man nicknamed Blind Man for an afternoon, and sat on the horse and slept for a while on the way, and then packed up the guys and went back to their respective homes. Before leaving, the middle-aged man handed Hong Tao a small plastic bucket, which contained dozens of wheat ear fish, which were all bait for fishing for mandarin fish at night, and they must be alive.

"Don't bring those rusty broken hooks at night, I'll tie some new ones, new hooks, new threads, new harvests, see you later!" Hong Tao carried the bucket over the railing, and did not forget to tell the blind uncle as he walked home, for fear that he would delay the wolf because he was reluctant to let the child go.

The temperature in September is still quite high, in the words of the people of Kyoto, this is called the autumn tiger, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you have to go through a few autumn rains, the temperature can really drop, and then there is an autumn rain and a cool, after three or four rains, the northwest wind arrives on time, and the autumn is over. That is, in the autumn tiger raging for more than a month, it is the happiest time for anglers, and the fish can also feel the change in temperature, so they begin to eat with their lives, and the fat on their bodies is thickened, ready to spend a hard winter.

With the advent of the black curtain, the people walking on the shore of Houhai gradually dispersed, and the entire lake surface was like a large plate carved from black jade, lying there quietly, allowing a little light and starlight to reflect on his body. Finally, a breeze blew, and there were ripples on the plate, but it soon fell into calm again. The various small insects that live in the cracks of the stones and the grass by the lake don't want to go to bed so early, and are still screaming for their lives, but most of them can't bear it anymore, and as the lights go out, they fall asleep one after another.

"Squeak...... Syllable. At this time, the courtyard door of Hong Tao's house suddenly opened, and a black shadow carried this bucket out of it, as if he was still wearing a sack on his head, and he was stunned.

"Who!" a flashlight flashed from the mouth of the alley in an instant, followed by a low voice of light.

"Oops...... I said Grandma Liu, you can't be just a little brighter, people are scary and scared to death, don't scare the bad guys out of trouble without catching the bad guys. The black shadow was excited, and the bucket in his hand fell directly to the ground, and then revealed his true face under the light pillar of the flashlight, Hong Tao in a hoodie.

"Good man, good guy went out in the middle of the night, and he covered it so tightly? What do you have in the bucket?" Grandma Liu saw that it was Hong Tao, her mouth began to pinch again, and she moved the light of the flashlight away from his face and shone it on the bucket that had fallen to the ground.

"What else can I do, fishing! Come on, come on, you look at it first, there is only a plastic sheet in it, except for the bait, hook and line. If the bridge collapses tomorrow, you will have to testify to me, I didn't destroy it. Hong Tao picked up the bucket from the ground, walked over to Mrs. Liu, and deliberately stopped when he passed by, and let the old lady see the contents of the bucket clearly, and then turned around and went into the darkness.

To say that this old lady Liu, although there is a bit of gossip and a little bit of wrong, but people are good people, and it is precisely because of them that they are still obedient and persistent old people, that they are safer. Especially in these hutong areas within the Second Ring Road, with their presence, outsiders will immediately become the target of surveillance, and they will not stop until they understand your ins and outs.

Although they are old and frail, they cannot climb high and low, and they cannot bravely catch gangsters, but they are hovering around their homes all the time, and it is basically impossible for anyone to avoid their eyes. The most important thing is that they don't take a penny of government salary, it is completely obligatory, and when the street can send someone to hold a commendation meeting during the festival and New Year, it will make them high-spirited and continue to guard their homes until the last breath of life.

It is a pity that this fine tradition has gradually died out with the transformation of the urban area and the fewer and fewer hutong PF districts. People have moved to live in buildings, and no one knows how many people there are, what kind of work they do, and who their surnames are. Close the door of the house and live their own lives, even if other people's homes are destroyed, they don't have anything to do with themselves, except for going out to buy vegetables and nodding their heads, they don't get along with each other.

Community security is maintained by the police and security guards, and as a result, the police and security guards are really not as good as these old men and women. This is not to say that the police and security guards are not serious about their work, the main thing is that they have no immediate needs, and things that have nothing to do with themselves, who can do their best to be as concerned as these old men and old ladies. They cope with work, the old man and the old lady are for their children and grandchildren, the starting point is different, the strength is definitely different, and the effect is naturally different.

"Is there really a mandarin fish here?" Hong Tao took the bucket and met the blind uncle on the silver ingot bridge, and the two of them walked together to the west end of the back bank, which was a small park during the day, and people came and went, so it didn't look like a place to store fish, let alone the mandarin fish with unusual alertness.

These days, I work in middle school, and I come home from here after work, and almost every night when I pass by, I can hear the movement of chasing small fish in the water. You wait, I'll look for the mark, and I'll write it down. "Uncle Blind is a bus driver, he drove the bus terminal is under the Deshengmen City Building, every day to and from work does not ride at all, walk along the Houhai for a while, and then along the shore of the pond to the north. And he likes fishing, so on the way to and from work to the water's side of the fishermen, fish will pay special attention, who caught a big fish today, where to fish the most he has a clear door, can't catch a few more glances is also enjoyable.

"No, the mark I made is in front of these two pillars, more than ten meters away, that's right!" With the light of the flashlight, the blind uncle quickly found the mark he had drawn in advance on the stone pillar of the fence.

"Hey, what kind of bird is really raised, the marks you draw are different, how can you ...... like Xiao Wangba" Hong Tao looked down, put down the bucket in his hand, and began to take the fishing tackle out, and at the same time his mouth was not idle, he couldn't find a fishing spot to run, and he had to run if he found it.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll go get a piece of bamboo first, you can be sharp, if someone sees us taking the bait, there will be a bunch of people here tomorrow." The blind uncle didn't quarrel with Hong Tao, and walked to the park by himself, where there was a small bamboo forest.

The easiest way to catch mandarin fish is not to use a rod, but to use a hand line. It is to wrap a piece of fishing line tens of meters long around the can, there is no fish drift, only a hook with a lead sinker. When used, the hook is threaded through the back of the earfish, but not the vertebrae of the fish, so that the small fish is still alive. When it is thrown into the water, it will have a fish hook on its body, and it will toss hard, and the wound will bleed, and the movement of struggle and the smell of blood will attract nearby carnivorous fish. Carnivorous fish eat wolves and tigers, looking at almost swallowing in one gulp, whoever eats the small fish is equivalent to swallowing it with the hook, and it will be hooked.

Generally, this kind of handle line is a row of more than a dozen, in order to be lazy and not staring, the angler came up with a trick, that is, to get a few chopsticks of bamboo strips, the fishing line is sandwiched in the crack of the bamboo, and then a small bell is clamped on the top of the bamboo strip, and the bamboo strip is inserted into the ground. Which line catches the fish, it will be pulled, even with the bamboo strips also moved, as soon as the bell rings, hurry to the line to reel.

Hong Tao and Uncle Blind were both journeymen, and in less than twenty minutes they had inserted a row of small bamboo sticks on the shore, and then put the cans around the fence a few times to prevent the big fish from running away, and that was done. Fishing is an activity that compares mentality and endurance, the more anxious you are, the more you can't catch it, and you've never heard of anyone fishing for half an hour, unless it's a captive-bred pond.

It is said that this fishing method does not have to wait, go home and sleep directly, and come back the next morning to go around, and basically can't run away when the fish is on, and put away the line if you don't catch the fish, and then come down at night. Because mandarin fish is a nocturnal fish, it is its peak Celsius at night, and it is easy to be hooked.
