Volume 1 Chapter 91 A Big Fish
The temperatures in September are even more terrifying, and people really don't want to go out, so apart from the occasional fishing and seafood, I spend most of my time at home to escape the heat!
The most important thing to do is probably to make a few pieces of pottery, and take advantage of the fact that the temperature is still mild for a day or two after the rain, and go to a distance to bring back one or two hundred catties of clay to make ten pieces of pottery.
Among them, there are two clay bowls, two clay pots, and six clay pots, and it seems that the consumption of clay pots is the largest, because many times in order not to consume the life of the only iron pot, it will be used instead.
For example, in various situations such as boiling salt and boiling water, the iron pot has become a supporting role with few appearances, and it is only used when stir-frying!
It is not much to make ten pieces of pottery at one time, and only six or seven pieces are left after being fired out of a kiln.
But it's enough for me, because when the consumption of corn comes up, more and more large pottery will be empty in the house.
Seeing that half of the room is full of large and small pottery products, if it weren't for the large drop in the number of pottery pots, I wouldn't have bothered to make them once.
While the pottery was drying, there was another rather faint typhoon, and if it weren't for the weather, I would even think it was just a normal rainfall and the wind.
This year's weather was exceptional, with a two-month drought at the beginning of the year and more than double the number of typhoons!
It's still quite scary to think about, if one or two of so many typhoons have pathed near this island, then it is difficult for me to bear the consequences of it, it is a disaster for me, but I don't have to scare myself before I come!
......
After a few months of growing in the field, all kinds of crops have finally begun to grow, green vegetables have been supplying daily needs and sheep food more than a month ago, corn has also grown to a height of nearly one meter, peanuts and sweet potatoes and other crops are growing well.
I hope that the rest of the time will go a little better, as long as I am given another month or two, and the first ripening corn will be harvested again......
The days passed, and in addition to being too hot and hateful, life has been very easy lately, until the end of September!
Ordinary days sometimes feel too dull, but ordinary days are happy, and now I want to live a normal ordinary life, because I have a cold, and I am sick in bed!
I have a very strange problem, every time I have a cold, it seems to be at night, and when I wake up in the morning, I feel that everything is normal, and all kinds of cold symptoms seem to come to my door overnight.
I was fine before going to bed last night, and when I woke up this morning, I woke up like last time, thinking I had a nosebleed, but I haven't had a nosebleed in years.
Later, I found out that I actually caught a cold again, I didn't catch a cold for a long time, and a cold is the kind that kills!
Fortunately, if you are not busy recently, you can toss slowly, but if it is a busy farming season, such as just two days when the corn is harvested, it is called bad.
Although I feel uncomfortable, I still have to eat food, light a fire and cook some dandelion water by the way, and use various home remedies to cooperate with the treatment.
But it turned out to be ......, I thought I could eat some, but I wasted most of the food that I spent half a day.
After steaming a fish of about a catty, you can't eat it anymore if you eat only half of it, and the rest will definitely spoil without waiting for the next meal, which is quite a pity!
Pour a large bowl of dandelion water, try the home remedies and spread it on the bed, people can't experience the feeling of being sick like a mountain in normal times, only when they are really sick, they can experience this mood at once.
And I am still fantasizing about how good it would be if my current body could return to normal, walking like flying, eating hemp fragrance!
Of course, the reality is that the situation did not change with my thoughts, but became more serious, and it became difficult to get out of bed the next morning, and I also had symptoms of fever!
......
Although I can usually survive a cold and rarely get in serious danger, I'm really uncomfortable right now.
I had to get up hard to light a fire and boil some boiling water, drinking more boiled water for colds still has a certain improvement effect, and the almighty boiled water is suitable for any symptoms!
While a pot of boiling water is boiling, the clay pot behind is not empty, but boiling ginger water, there are twenty or thirty catties of ginger every year, and the excess is dried into ginger slices, which is quite practical.
After a while, while drinking freshly boiled water, I was soaking my feet in a clay pot with warm water at a high temperature, which is also a very effective way to soak my feet in a cold.
Then I went back to my bed, and now I was thinking only about my bed, and I felt cold, and I was covered with several sheepskins!
I was sweating while sitting in the house in the hot summer, but I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar, which was quite incomprehensible.
On the third day, the situation still did not improve, but at least the fever was no longer there, and if you were sick in a place without medicine, you could only hold on, either survive and spend a full moon, or you couldn't survive and fend for yourself!
Now that I am young, my body is in good health, and the cold is not a threat to my life, but I am worried that if I don't return to my hometown for ten or twenty years, the body's resistance will become lower and lower as it ages, what can I do at that time......
It's worrying and even more frightening to think about!
......
It took me two weeks to get back to normal levels before the cold, and now I can eat, drink, run and jump, which is amazing!
But the time has also come to the end of September, and more than half of this year has passed.
The temperature has also dropped to a certain extent, and after being idle at home for too long, I am ready to go fishing at the beach to have fun.
Compared to the stuffiness in the house, the beach without direct sunlight is much cooler, the sea breeze blows, and sometimes the waves can bring a little mist, and the body feels more comfortable.
Fishing in summer is more exciting than fishing in winter, because the higher the temperature, the more active the fish in the water, and often the bait can be fed back for a few minutes.
Just three minutes after the bait, the other end of the fishing rod reacted, and after a minute of tug-of-war, a pomfret of about two catties was successfully pulled up.
In just five or six minutes, the second fish took the bait, but the moment it was hooked, it gave me a dismount, it was different from the previous fish, and it came up with a very fierce behavior!
If I hadn't quickly grabbed the rod and pressed the bottom of the rod against the reef, I might have had to go home, because the rod would have been taken straight away!
In the face of this situation, it is quite clear that at least it is a big fish of more than five catties, and even the feeling of the hand is more than ten catties.
I'm battling it, and it's so strong that it's a big fish that's in berserk mode compared to a lot of relatively mild fish, and it almost pulled me to the ground a few times!
While testing my strength with it, I was also scanning the seabed to see if I could spot its size and type, but because the distance had been extended to thirty or forty meters away, and the influence of the waves made it impossible to see its appearance at all.
......
Its speed in the sea is quite out, and it shifts its position from time to time, as if it is not me fishing it, but it is fishing me!
In order to prevent it from spitting out the hook when washing the gills after the line is loosened, I have always made the line tight, and the competition of strength is now somewhat evenly matched, but I believe that its patience is not as good as mine.
I can hold it for an hour or two without letting go, and it can only hold on for half an hour at most before it gets exhausted, so that's an advantage for me, and the longer the drag doesn't worry about damage to the fishing gear, the longer the situation is in my favor.
Five minutes later, we were still in a stalemate, and I was sweating profusely at that temperature.
It's been a long time since I've experienced such a fierce battle, and the last time I was probably fishing for eels was when I was fishing, but the intensity at that time was not as high as it is now!
The fishing line on the fishing rod is almost pulled to the maximum, if I don't hold the fishing rod this fish will definitely escape, and now the judgment negates the weight of ten catties at the beginning, I estimate that there are more than fifteen catties!
Looking at a fish of more than ten catties on the shore, the body is not big, but after all, the water is its battlefield, and it can exert its maximum ability in it, and the instantaneous energy even has a fight with me.
I'm worried about whether the rod and line will fall off, but at the same time I'm pulling the rod towards the shore to shorten the distance between us, and I have a more suitable focus.
The distance of about five meters is usually a matter of a second, but at this time, it took me a full minute to pull to the shore, and the line was still in a state of crumbling when it was all used up.
Both hands were occupied, and I couldn't close the fishing line, and I didn't want to be in such a stalemate anymore, I was so hot with sweat that I couldn't stand it.
I continued to move deeper into the beach, so that when all the lines were on the shore for a few tens of meters, the fish on the other side would also be on the shore, and the process was not going well, and we were competing all the time!
After another three minutes, I felt like I was feeling a little tired, and it was much more difficult than I thought, and I started to think that I could last for an hour or two.
......
Fortunately, it is only more than ten meters away from the beach at this time, and it is not far from success with more efforts, and the quality of the fishing rod is worth relying on, and there are no accidents.
My strength was almost exhausted, but it was only weaker than mine, and the ferocity it had started with was now gone, and I could clearly feel the drag less than half the resistance.
Only occasionally there will be a situation where you will go backwards by a meter or two, and you are close to success!
Five minutes later, I finally pulled it to the edge of the beach, and I managed to overcome it, but I was also lamenting how difficult the fight was......
In order to prevent the last accident, I continued to pull it four or five meters to the beach, and then there was no more to worry about, and I put down the fishing rod and rushed over.
I was very surprised by its size, this is a big fish with a body length of nearly 80 centimeters, and its weight is infinitely close to 20 catties.
