Chapter 47: Fishing
And those who can reach the depths of the purple orchid grassland, with their strength, will not care about the value of the purple orchid grass at all.
"Ah, it's the water source!"
The sharp-eyed Dongfang Yue seemed to have discovered something, and Dongfang Xiao looked at the place where Dongfang Yue pointed out, and sure enough, there was a lake of considerable scale not far away.
Dongfang Xiao looked at the map in his hand and said, "This is Zilan Lake, right?" According to the map display, Zilan Lake is the only large lake on the Zilan grassland, and looking at the area of this lake, it should be Zilan Lake. ”
The moving caravan also stopped at this moment, and it was not very early at this time, and it seemed that the caravan was planning to rest here today.
"Lakeside? Interesting. ”
Dongfang Xiao and the others got down from the beast cart, Dongfang Xiao had only seen some large reservoirs in his previous life, and most of the water quality had been slightly or heavily polluted, like such a huge natural lake, Dongfang Xiao, like others, was the first time to see it.
"Hey, go fishing!"
In the blink of an eye, a long fishing rod appeared in Dongfang Xiao's hand, and he was still holding a wooden barrel in his hand. didn't care about the eyes of others, Dongfang Xiao just carried the fishing rod and swaggered towards the lake.
"I said Brother Xiao, you even have fishing tools? Did you know that we were going to pass through this lake and were ready for it? Dongfang Yu looked at the tool in Dongfang Xiao's hand dumbfounded, a little incredulous.
Dongfang Xiao rolled his eyes, he was a fishing enthusiast in his previous life, and sometimes he could even sit by the ditch and fish for a whole day, although after coming to this world, there has been no chance of fishing, but he has one of the tools needed for fishing, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to have a fishing addiction.
"Brother Dongfang, I didn't expect you to be one step faster than me."
Dongfang Xiao looked back and saw that it was Cang Yan and the blood wolf who came to the lake with a few people from the mercenary group, and Cang Yan also took a long fishing rod in his hand.
"It turns out that Captain Cangyan also likes fishing."
Cang Yan smiled and said: "Of course, fishing is still quite interesting, since we have come to the lake, we naturally want to improve the food, as a mercenary group, fishing is naturally not a problem, but what I never expected is that the Dongfang brothers actually like fishing." ”
Dongfang Xiao smiled, and a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that their group was all children of some big families, and they were good at eating fish, but fishing was ......
"Hey, hooked!" With the violent sinking of the buoy and the tugging on the fishing line, Dongfang Xiao knew that this must be a big fish.
Dongfang Xiao lifted it vigorously, and a smear of gray crossed a graceful arc in the air, and finally landed beside Dongfang Xiao and the others.
"What a big fish!"
Dongfang Xiao was happy in his heart, this was a fish with a length of more than a foot, from the outside, it seemed to be no different from the grass carp he had seen, and he had just obtained such a big harvest, which made Dongfang Xiao very happy.
"Hehe, congratulations to Brother Dongfang."
A hint of surprise flashed on Cang Yan's face, and he immediately said to Dongfang Xiao with a smile, he originally thought that Dongfang Xiao might just be on a whim, at most, he had caught a few fish occasionally, but judging from Dongfang Xiao's skillful movements, he was obviously a veteran of this way.
Cang Yan no longer wasted time, and also sat not far from Dongfang Xiao to catch fish, but the blood wolves didn't seem to have any intention of fishing, they chose a more direct method - to go directly into the water to catch it.
Dongfang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, looking at the blood wolf's appearance of five big and three thick, he knew that he was definitely not a good fisherman.
After a few days of getting along with Dongfang Xiao, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has also improved by leaps and bounds, although it can't be regarded as talking about everything, but they have also become friends with everyone.
At this moment, Dongfang Yu and You didn't know where to find two fishing rods, and they also learned from Cang Yan and Dongfang Xiao, and caught fish together on the side. Dongfang Xiao and Cang Yan glanced at the two of them, and they both shook their heads secretly, looking at the way the two of them were in a hurry, they knew that they didn't know how to fish at all.
The blood wolf and the others in the distance were also busy, and the place where they were fishing was some distance away from Dongfang Xiao and the others, but it would not have any impact on the two of them.
"Little, you're looking for it......"
"Come on, skinny monkey, come and intercept it, don't let it run!"
"I said bald wolf, won't you be lighter? You think that in the war, the fish will be slapped into meatloaf with your punch! ”
Seeing that the blood wolf was directing the mercenaries to catch fish, Dongfang Xiao shook his head helplessly, it seemed that what was going on on on their side was not going well.
Cang Yan and Dongfang Xiao were very relaxed here, and one fish after another were caught by the two. This is the depths of the purple orchid grassland, rarely inhabited, and for the two, this is simply a paradise for anglers.
But this is only relative, Dongfang Yu and You on the side don't seem to be going well, and no fish has been hooked for half a day.
Dongfang Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to Dongfang Xiao's face: "I said Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao!" How do you fish, and teach my brother me? ”
You on the side didn't say anything, but in his eyes, Dongfang Xiao saw the same meaning.
"Okay, I'll show you this." Dongfang Xiao has gained a lot, and his mood is quite good, but he doesn't mind helping the two rookies.
Dongfang Xiao came to Dongfang Yu's fishing rod, lifted the fishing rod, revealing a bare fishing hook, Dongfang Xiao's face was a little strange and asked the two:
"Is that how you fish? Didn't you put bait? ”
Dongfang Yu nodded: "Yes, I don't think you guys also fish like this, what is the bait, is there any special use?" ”
Dongfang Yu looked back at You with some confusion, You shook his head, and he didn't know it.
It took Dongfang Xiao a few minutes, and finally let the two of them understand the role of the bait, and the two of them also knew that they seemed to have made a considerable mistake, and after loading a piece of animal meat on the hook, they continued to fish.
After Dongfang Xiao's guidance, Yu seems to have gone a lot smoother, except for accidentally letting one fish escape, he also has a "record" of two fish.
But Dongfang Yu on the side didn't know why, until now, he didn't catch anything.
For this phenomenon, Dongfang Xiao completely attributed this to "luck", in this world, there will always be two hidden bloodlines of "European Emperor" and "Non-Chief", for which Dongfang Xiao has a very deep understanding......
"Haha, hooked!"
Dongfang Yu on the side shouted excitedly, and hurriedly lifted the fishing rod, Dongfang Xiao was also taken aback, and looked at Dongfang Yu's fishing hook.
Dongfang Yu's smile suddenly stopped, and he looked at what he had caught in some surprise.
It has four short legs, an equally short head with sharp teeth, and a hard carapace that protects its body.
This kind of animal, Dongfang Xiao is quite familiar.
Soft-shelled turtles: Vertebrates, reptiles, turtles, turtles, turtles, turtles, and soft-shelled turtles, he also has a well-known and often mentioned name...... That's the "Eight Kings".
