Chapter 124: More Thorns and Less Flesh
"Tang Tang, why don't you go back first, it seems that I won't be able to catch this fish for a while. Guan Lang felt the still strong and powerful drag coming from his palm, and said softly without looking back.
Although this neighborhood is a bit remote, as a macho man, he doesn't have to worry about his personal safety at all.
He estimated that it would take about ten or twenty minutes to catch this stubborn and stubborn fish, and the drivers of Tang Tang's family had already arrived, and he was embarrassed to let the two of them stand here and wait for him.
The driver, Uncle Zhang, turned his head to look at Tang Tang when he heard this, of course he hoped that his young lady would leave now and have less contact with this kid who had damaged her.
Tang Tang looked at the fish at ease in the tank and was swallowing saliva.
Hearing Guan Lang's words, he didn't think about it, and replied firmly: "No, I want to wait for the seniors to be with me." ”
My own lady said so, what else can the driver Uncle Zhang say.
had to sigh and stand aside and stare at Guan Lang expressionlessly.
Guan Lang didn't say much anymore, the other party also had good intentions, he could only catch the big fish as quickly as possible.
Uncle Zhang stood by and watched, his expression a little surprised.
He didn't look carefully just now, but now he looked at the curve of the rod, and it was obvious that the fish on the hook was not small.
He also likes fishing, or rather, most people like fishing when they reach middle age, except for becoming more greasy and using a thermos cup to soak wolfberries.
Especially in his generation, when he was a child, he often played in the water in the countryside, netted fish and caught crabs, although he is not so energetic now, but he is still interested in catching fish.
Now watching Guan Lang fishing, he also has some itchy hands for a while.
I couldn't help but take a few steps closer.
Of course, he didn't do this to be able to watch Guan Lang fishing more carefully, but his own young lady was at the water's edge, and he could protect more carefully if he got closer.
Guan Lang caught a glimpse of this scene and tugged at the corners of his mouth.
This uncle seems to be a little impatient, is he urging him to hurry up? Guan Lang thought in his heart.
The strength in his hand increased a little.
The curvature of the rod bends even more, as if it will break in two in the next moment.
Uncle Zhang saw that he didn't know how important it was, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, and his expression was a little tangled.
"Ahem..."Uncle Zhang coughed lightly.
Guan Lang turned his head sideways to look over, and the strength in his hands did not relax.
"Don't use too much strength, otherwise the rod will break, as long as you don't let the fish's head run down. Uncle Zhang looked at him, coughed twice, and pointed out casually.
"Oooh. Guan Lang nodded and slowed down.
Of course he knew what the driver's uncle said, but he didn't think the driver was in a hurry.
"You're good at fishing?" Guan Lang listened to his tone, as if he had a lot of fishing experience.
"Oh, it's okay, I usually go wild fishing everywhere when I rest, like Tiannan and the relatively large reservoirs and lakes of several surrounding cities, I have run all over, it's just blind fishing. ”
The driver said modestly, but his face couldn't hide his pride.
"Like this fish on your rod, it should be not small, it should weigh a few pounds. The driver shook his head again. "There are fewer and fewer of these big fish now, and the heaviest fish I have ever caught is only a silver carp weighing more than 20 pounds, which was caught two years ago. ”
Guan Lang was silent for a while, he felt as if the other party was showing off.
"That's a bit big. Guan Lang felt that he might be embarrassed if he didn't answer his words, so he answered.
"Isn't it, when I caught that fish, I wrestled for almost an hour, and my hands were exhausted. Uncle Zhang sighed. "When you are walking fish, don't use a figure-eight shape to slip, it's better to walk the fish vertically, don't let it go horizontally, and ......"
Maybe it was because he talked about his hobbies, but the driver Uncle Zhang seemed a little talkative, and he forgot the prejudice he had against this little white face in his heart at the beginning, and began to talk about it a little bit.
Under Uncle Zhang's fingering and Tang Tang's silent cheering, the big fish in the water finally gradually weakened after N struggles and approached the water's edge.
Tang Tang shone a flashlight on his mobile phone into the water, wanting to see it in advance.
The eye is a slender orange-red, like a flame swimming and burning in the water.
Tang Tang was excited.
"Koi?" Uncle Zhang said with some surprise squinting his eyes.
Koi is a popular high-end landscape fish in the world, with bright colors and changeable patterns, the earliest ancestor was the edible carp, and after generations of screening and hybridization, it has become today's ornamental fish.
In this way, appearance is really a superpower, also as a carp creature, silver carp, crucian carp, and warped mouth are the food on the human dinner plate, but the koi is able to accept human offerings and supplies because of its beautiful appearance, although it has lost its freedom, but it is better than its close relatives who lost their lives early.
"No? It's a crucian carp. After Uncle Zhang saw it clearly, he found that it was not a koi, but its close relative, the crucian carp, and the fish in the water had no beard, and its body size was not as round and fat as the koi.
Without waiting for Guan Lang to speak, he picked up the net next to him and took the initiative to help catch fish.
The fish was fished out of the water and loaded into a large tank of water that he had brought.
Guan Lang breathed a sigh of relief and approached to see its true face.
This flaming brocade carp is very large, more than fifty centimeters in size, the tail is flowing like a gorgeous ribbon, bright red without a trace of variegation, the body is slender and graceful, very moving, the only fly in the ointment is that its lips are pierced by a fish hook out of a large hole, it is a little scary to see.
"Koi?," Although Tang Tang was obsessed with the beauty of this fish just now, he was also distracted by the words of the driver Uncle Zhang, so he tilted his head and asked puzzledly.
"Well, I mistook this fish for a more expensive koi fish at first. These are two kinds of close relatives, but the koi fish have a longer lifespan, can live for decades, and even the legend says that there are two hundred years to live, and the body size can grow to more than one meter, but the life span of the koi carp is much shorter, only about ten years of life, and the normal maximum body size is only thirty or forty centimeters, and the little goldfish you raised when you were a child is like this. Uncle Zhang patiently explained the difference between the two types of fish.
In fact, it was this brocade carp that looked so good-looking that he subconsciously felt that it was a more expensive koi.
Tang Tang nodded as if he didn't understand.
She still has some memories of the goldfish she raised when she was a child.
There are a lot of spines, very little meat, and the taste is very bad!
"Is the crucian carp cheaper? Why do I think it's so much better than the big black fish at home? ”
Uncle Zhang hesitated, a little speechless, and didn't know how to explain to this silly girl that it was a precious nine-pattern dragon koi with special ink patterns, not a big black fish.
Her dad paid a high price to buy it from the RB Koi Sakai Auction, and each piece was priced at least six figures.
