Chapter 17 Fishing

Li Shiyi still wanted to find the feeling of entering the state at the beginning, so he went out for a jog so that he could enter the state of cultivation again. After meditating and practicing twice, he found that he was actually different from other people, at least different from other protagonists. The effect of his cultivation in a state of exercise is better than that of quiet meditation. Because he already had some experience, it didn't take long for him to get back into the groove and verify this. In some places where it obviously takes half an hour or more than ten minutes to open up, as long as you are exercising, and that part of the muscles and qi and blood are active, the opening of that position will become much easier and faster.

Starting from the residence, it is basically the most central location of the town, and according to the previous introduction of Li Qiuye, the boundary of the farmland from here is about seven miles, so the round trip is almost seven kilometers. According to Li Shiyi's previous habit in the world, he usually ran seven kilometers, because he ran seven kilometers outdoors for more than 40 minutes, unlike most long-term runners who ran ten kilometers, which he never forced. I feel that 7 kilometers and 40 minutes is very suitable for me, and the key is that the distance and time are also suitable for going back to breakfast. Li Shiyi felt that he might no longer be suitable for himself according to the previous way of running as an ordinary person, but it was better to start gradually and gradually, if he found that he was really not suitable for such jogging after running for a few days, then he would get up a little earlier in the future, until he could run twenty kilometers back and forth by the river on the opposite side of the city wall.

Since he really didn't pay much attention to what his eyes saw while running, Li Shiyi unconsciously found that he had overrun. But fortunately, it wasn't too far, and it was only when it was completely dawn that he noticed that it seemed to have run an extra mile or so. Otherwise, it's not good to let everyone wait for their breakfast. Then he turned and ran back, deliberately speeding up. As soon as he ran to the suspension bridge, he saw Li Ersilly coming from the city with a small package on his back, and when he looked up, he was startled again when he saw Li Shiyi, probably he had never seen anyone running by the river in the morning, and he came from a barren place in the distance. Hiding behind the cabin, he poked out half of his head, and looked at it carefully for a long time, until Li Shiyi was only less than ten meters away from him before he was sure that this was Li Shiyi.

"Where did you go last night? Scared me. Li Ersil walked out from behind the cabin, and Li Shiyi stopped to greet him.

"I'm working out in the morning, so I'll be able to recover faster." As he spoke, he took off his hat and showed him with a smile.

"You..." Li Ersil has become a real silly again, except for the hat and tone. These eleven brothers have all changed. If it didn't feel so familiar, I really didn't believe that this person was Brother Eleven. That's right, who is so dark except him.

"Have you eaten?" Li Shiyi looked at Li Er's stupid reaction, this is what he wanted, and happily continued to run back.

Along the way, I also met a few people who had just gone out to work, and Li Shiyi greeted them one by one

"Early, have you eaten" The few people didn't react either, so they just watched Li Shiyi running past with a hoe and entering the Great Elder's house. After a while, someone asked another person next to him: "Hey~ That's Mr. Eleven, right?" ”

I saw Li Qiuye holding his scarf at the door of the backyard and waiting anxiously there, Li Shiyi stood still in front of her and said "Morning", and Li Qiuye reflexively replied "Early". Seeing Li Shiyi take off the beads of sweat on his forehead, he was a little at a loss, and he didn't know whether to wrap the scarf around him.

"Why did you go?"

"I'm sorry, I forgot to say hello to you. In the future, I will probably go for a run every morning if I have nothing to do. ”

"Running? Why? ”

"To keep fit"

"Is it so hard?" Li Qiuye suddenly looked a little aggrieved.

Li Shiyi is a little confused, what is the situation? But when she thought about it, she must have thought that she was working hard to participate in the Spring Festival, and then she worked so hard. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little more love in my heart.

"It's not hard, I've loved running for a long time. Sweating a little is good for the body. If you don't believe me, I'll take you tomorrow."

Li Qiuye thought for a moment and said firmly: "Okay."

This made Li Shiyi want to touch her head again, but he still held back. I always feel that this action is not suitable for the two of them, so let's quit in the future.

Taking advantage of Li Qiuye's efforts to set the dishes and chopsticks, Li Shiyi went to take a shower again. Although I ran a little faster today, I was quite tired, but after taking a shower, I felt refreshed, and I spread my hands and said to myself, "It's another day full of vitality."

After breakfast, I took Li Qiuye and Li Donghao to the blacksmith shop. As for why there is always nothing to do with her second sister, it is because the second sister has just turned twelve years old, which is the age to study female celebrity, and there are endless classes at home.

After going to see if the furnace was done well, Li Shiyi found that with the current level of forging, it seemed that it was really a little underthought to make such a huge furnace, the key was that the materials that were resistant to high temperature specifically included those raw materials Li Shiyi didn't seem to know. But fortunately, the wisdom of the working people is not to be underestimated. Several masters assured that after a few failed experiences, they had found a way, and they would definitely be able to make it after a few more attempts. Li Shiyi said: "It's hard work" and then handed it over to the masters to study by themselves. I really don't think I can really help.

The second stop is the blacksmith shop, and the fishing tools explained before have already been made. And it's right in front of the store for everyone to see. Seeing Li Shiyi and them coming over, the boss walked out with a smile to greet them.

"Mr. Eleven, you're here. According to your explanation, this speargun is ready, and according to the method you taught, it has been treated with rust prevention. In addition, the oil from the last barbecue is also here. By the way, there's also this iron lump. The blacksmith smiled happily, as if he had finished a masterpiece of great satisfaction.

"What is this iron lump for?"

"This... Kindness?? Li Shiyi was about to answer, and found that it was the voice of Captain Tiger. When I turned my head to look, I found that it was the Tiger Captain, who was a head taller than everyone next to him, sticking out his head and looking at the iron ball from behind.

"Captain Tiger, I see that you seem to be quite idle. Don't you need to patrol" Li Shiyi is really strange, it seems that you can see this patrol captain anywhere.

"What nonsense, our patrol only gets its turn once every ten days. And that place 。。。。。。 With that, he simply pulled Li Shiyi and walked out of the crowd. Li Shiyi simply took them directly towards the river. Seeing that there was no one around, Captain Tiger continued

"The fog really doesn't have anything to patrol, and it's not always possible to pick up Mr. Eleven." Saying hehe, he smiled, but Li Shiyi didn't answer. He had no choice but to continue

"The work of our patrol team is actually more often in the city, and most of the patrol members are also law enforcement teams, and ordinary members practice for an hour every day in addition to morning and evening. Just look at where you need help, and go to help. For example, the day before yesterday, I went to the place where I went to make the furnace model to help, and then I was kicked out by the master there. It is easy to hurt yourself if someone who can't do it helps. Brother Eleven, are you going to catch fish? As he spoke, his eyes glowed golden, and he asked with his saliva swallowing.

"yes, there's still a shortage of manpower. It just so happens that you're here, and since you belong to the flexible maneuver, it should be appropriate for this job to be handed over to you in the future. The main reason is that you are the strongest practitioner on the defending side, and I am afraid of accidents if you hand it over to others. ”

"Visioning" heard Li Shiyi praise himself, and Captain Tiger couldn't help but his tail.

"But you can really make ordinary people catch tiger fish?" Looking at the things in Li Shiyi's hand, Captain Tiger was still puzzled.

This is actually a crossbow, a heavy crossbow with a base. Match arrows with barbs and tails with rings to thread ropes. And the ball, in fact, is composed of two hemispheres, which are opened and closed with threads, leaving a few small holes in the top. There are also a few thumb-thick refined steel bars. Li Shiyi played with a steel bar and found that there may be a big difference in the composition of this thing from the steel bar in the previous world. In particular, the toughness seems to be a little too good, and Li Shiyi can finally bounce a straight steel bar after a few throws with all his strength.

"Hehe, you'll know when you look at it." Li Shiyi smiled mysteriously.

When he came to the position of the suspension bridge, Li Ersil hurriedly ran over and took over the things in Li Shiyi's hand. By the way, I asked what the hell was going on in the morning.

"It's running, do you want to run together in the future, exercise, and participate in the Spring Festival with me next year." Li Shiyi pretended to be mysterious, as if he was fooling Li Er.

"Hehe, just tease me. Wouldn't it be a shame for me to go to the Spring Festival Party like me? It seems that Li Ersil doesn't like this joke at all.

"Captain Tiger, can I choose how many people will participate in the Spring Festival next year?" Li Shiyi turned his head to look at Captain Tiger.

"Yes, yes, but in previous years, the candidates for the Spring Festival were actually selected from the patrol team, and if you want to choose people, then these people have to participate in the training of our patrol team every day. And I'll have to ask the Great Elder and the City Lord. Captain Tiger replied seriously

Li Ersil looked at Li Shiyi and Captain Tiger in disbelief: "Brother Eleven, you are serious." ”

In fact, Li Shiyi knew that Li Ersil had signed up for the patrol many years ago, and the purpose was to participate in the Spring Festival Party and win glory for the guards. However, after losing the election, I learned that the natural gap between the defender and the guardian gave up this dream. This is what Li Shiyi learned from his father's casual chat when he walked past the suspension bridge and met the second fool's father helping the second fool to substitute for the class. At that time, from the regretful eyes of the second stupid father after saying this, Li Shiyi knew how much the second stupid father hoped that his son could chase his dreams, even if his head was broken and bleeding, even if the chance was slim, at least as a man, he dared to fight hard, and in the end he had no regrets about his youth. I think that the second stupid father also participated in the Spring Festival competition, although the process was not good, but in the end, I can look back without regrets when I was young and frivolous. Since then, Li Shiyi has had the idea of wanting Li Ersil's brother to fight side by side with him, because whenever the three words of the Spring Festival Party appear, Li Shiyi can always see a strange light in Li Erdu's eyes, indicating that this kid has not let go at all. There is another reason: most of the people here are malnourished, and Li Ersil is a very top-notch talent.

"I'll just ask once, do you want to do it?" Li Shiyi raised his left hand and palmed it at Li Erdu. I counted three and two silently in my heart

", I'm stupid." After the high-five, the two laughed happily together.

"Brother Eleven, don't be so happy with the two of you. It's less than ten months now, and you haven't even joined the training yet, so you have to hurry up after that. Besides, don't forget today's business. "Captain Tiger didn't mean to pour cold water, but everyone knew that it was an honor to participate in the Spring Festival, but now even he himself is not sure that he can win a place. When the time comes, the heavy pressure will make it difficult for every loser to get back on their feet. For every guard who participates in the Spring Festival party, crossing the bridge in front of them will be the beginning of a nightmare. He was one of the most vocal people, because he had crossed the bridge ten years ago with great vigor and left his dignity on the other side like everyone else.

"Well, I have two things to do today, and it's right to hurry up." Saying that everyone should put everything on the platform. Then we went to the cabin and took out the tripod that had been made in advance. This tripod was something that he had prepared when he first encountered Li Ersil, and at that time Li Shiyi wanted to catch fish by fishing. Because I was afraid of hurting people, I planned to use a very long and large wood to make a fishing rod, so I used this, and after many improvements, I also added a chassis and wheels underneath. Now it's just the right time to use it as a rack for this heavy crossbow.

First, unscrew the iron ball, pour in the collected barbecue oil, screw the lid and hook the ring on the iron ball with a steel bar. Put in water.

Then Li Shiyi began to explain to everyone while the fish was still on the way: "According to the habits of this tiger head fish, a little raw meat can attract a large group. In order not to waste it, I used the butter that dripped from the barbecue at the last banquet, and you can try to use other meat in the future. Originally, I heard that this fish would eat dead meat of its own kind, but I thought it was a bit cruel, so I didn't do that. Fill it with an iron ball and put it in the water so that the smell can float out, but it won't be snatched up by them and then run away again. And this machine is called a ballista, similar to the role of a bow and arrow, but it is more powerful and more suitable for ordinary people to operate. Otherwise, the distance is too close and dangerous, and the iron arrow with this rope may not be powerful enough. In addition, I am actually only half-baked about these things, and there are still many things that can be improved in the future that you need to improve yourself. For example, changing ropes into chains, such as making fishing nets that can catch this fish, and so on. In fact, the most difficult part we have already solved has already been solved, which is "dare to eat fish, want to eat fish". There should be other better ways to catch fish later, but my intelligence alone is limited, so I have to brainstorm together. And the most important point, almost everyone knows that once this tiger head fish sees blood, it will be extremely crazy, safety first! ”

Speaking of which, there were already fish attracted to it, Li Shiyi made a demonstration, and shot an arrow at the fish around the iron ball, because of the influence of the rope and the ring behind, the deviation of the first arrow was a little large, and it was not covered. Hurriedly retracted the iron arrow, adjusted the angle and came back with another arrow, this time it actually hit two directly. However, the blood immediately attracted the other fish to besiege the two fish that were shot. Li Shiyi quickly retracted the line, and by the way, he brought one more one that he bit and didn't let go. Kill three birds with one stone.

"It seems that the rope must be changed to an iron chain as soon as possible, or the fish will bite off the rope if they don't shoot a few arrows." Next, everyone came up and tried it. Be sure to pay attention to safety, even if you fish in the future, at least in groups of two, and be sure to keep your distance at the beginning and don't hurt yourself. After speaking, Li Shiyi stepped aside and motioned for Captain Tiger to come first.

"This method is actually simple enough" Captain Tiger confidently grabbed the iron arrow and walked directly towards the edge of the platform, making a gesture to throw the iron arrow with his bare hands. Li Shiyi turned his head to look at the fish, and his heart screamed badly.
