"Brother, can you take me fishing at night?"

Walking on the ridge and looking at Zhang Wuxi's eyes, Zhang Ze did not continue to refuse after thinking about it.

If he is not allowed to go, he probably thinks about it every day, and maybe he will secretly go fishing by himself at some point.

Half-grown children don't know the dangers, and if they fall into the water and there is no one around, that's bad.

Where there are streams and rivers in the countryside, many disobedient children drown every year.

Therefore, almost all rural people will make up some scary stories to scare children in order to keep them from approaching the river.

What Zhang Ze heard the most since he was a child was that his mother said that there were big cats in the river.

When he was a child, he didn't know what a big cat was, and he thought it was a strange creature more than 20 meters long, specializing in eating children, anyway, he really didn't dare to come to the river to play.

When I grew up, I realized that a big cat is a tiger.

So there are tigers in the river?

Thinking of this, he couldn't cry or laugh, saying that water ghosts are more reliable than big cats, but the adults of Qinghe Village and several nearby villages have not changed this lie that scares children.

Even if the child is playing and refuses to go home, the adult will chase the big cat behind him to fool the child.

The big cat is the best tool cat to scare the children on his side!

Zhang Ze agreed to let Zhang Wu go with him today, mainly because the half-grown child has little patience, and if he can't catch fish, he will definitely lose interest in fishing.

"Okay, but you have to be obedient when the time comes, don't run around on your own."

"I'm sure I'll be obedient!"

Finally able to follow to go fishing, Zhang Wu was full of enthusiasm and ran very actively to dig loaches.

Because I decided to go mandarin fish fishing on the spot, I didn't dig many loaches in a hurry at night.

At present, there are more than 30 mandarin fish in the fishing space that have not been sold, but there are only 11 mandarin fish for one or two catties, and the rest are basically about two and a half catties or more than three catties, and there are a few larger ones.

He knew the intention of the white fat man to ask for a pound or two, obviously he wanted to eat tender, the mandarin fish would become older when it was bigger, and the taste would be much worse.

Common groupers also have this problem, but they are a little better than mandarin fish.

Why is sea red spot expensive, isn't it because the number is relatively smaller, and the bigger the better?

Eleven mandarin fish can actually be delivered, but Zhang Ze naturally wants to earn more, so he must send more.

And now there are five cubic meters of space, which is quite large, and he can catch more fish and put them in for preparation.

The sky was completely dark, and Zhang Ze took Zhang Wu to explore the fishing spot.

Today is the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moon is very round, and the weather is good during this time, and the moonlight is bright and you can clearly see the road conditions in front of you.

But Zhang Ze was already thinking about getting something to light up at night.

The ideal is naturally a flashlight, but the battery life in this era is very poor, and the flashlight may not be easy to use, and he wants to buy a ticket, so he thinks he may be able to use a horse lantern.

Horse lighting is naturally not as good as a flashlight, but as long as there is enough kerosene, it can be illuminated for a lot longer.

As for foreign oil tickets, that is, kerosene tickets, it should be no problem to ask for some from the radio factory, perhaps better than flashlight tickets.

It depends on the situation, give a flashlight ticket over there, then buy a flashlight, it's nothing more than a bit high-profile.

The two of them took sticks in their hands and beat all the way to the mandarin fish fishing spot, looked at the number of their loaches, Zhang Ze took out a small handful and crushed the nest with a stone.

Then he took out the fishing line and tied a small fishing hook, made the loach into two sections with a slightly sharper stone and hung it, and wrapped the fishing line at the other end around the wooden stick and handed it to Zhang Wu.

"Ah Wu, you just throw the bait into the water. When you feel something pulling the line, you can use a stick to hold it and slowly pull it back, remembering not to pull it too fast. ”

"By the way, go to the side, otherwise the two of us will get entangled in the line if it's too close."

"Uh-huh, I see!"

Zhang Wu nodded repeatedly, took the wooden stick fishing line, and then walked five or six meters to the side, away from the den.

He grabbed the stick in one hand and the line with the other and threw the bait into the water with all his might.

But Zhang Ze deliberately did not tie a small stone to increase the weight, so the bait was not thrown far, nor did it sink, just floating on the upper layer of the water.

Far from the den, the dead loach did not sink and did not move, and he felt that it should be difficult to catch the fish.

Then Zhang Ze took out the fishing line and hook, tied them up, hung live loaches and a small stone and started fishing.

Before he could throw the bait, there was a sudden "bang" on the water next to him, followed by the sound of "oops".

Zhang Wu was pulled forward by a huge force two steps, and the next moment the fish hook bounced back, and he sat on the ground without having time to react.

Groove~

Zhang Ze was frightened on the spot, and after reacting, he hurriedly ran over: "Ah Wu, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Wuxiao's face turned pale, and he pointed to the water with a frightened expression: "Brother, there is... There are big cats..."

Zhang Ze checked his hand, pulled it up again to see if he was hurt, and was relieved when he saw that it was okay.

Then he was quite convinced of his brother's luck, and the first time he fished, he had a big fish bite, which is the dream of many anglers!

However, he could take the opportunity to get his brother to stop thinking about continuing to fish with him.

"Yes, it's a big cat that eats children. I said that I wouldn't let you come fishing because I was afraid of attracting big cats, you see, as soon as you came, the big cats came out to look for you. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Wu was even more afraid, and hurriedly shrank into his arms: "Brother, let's go home, stop fishing!" ”

"No, brother wants to fish to make money, otherwise where will you get the meat and sugar to eat? And the big cat eats children, and they don't eat me as an adult. Why don't you wait, and we'll go back when you're almost done. ”

"No, I... I'm afraid, I won't eat the meat anymore and the sugar won't eat, brother, let's stop fishing today! ”

Seeing that Zhang Wu was really scared, Zhang Ze didn't continue to tease him: "Okay, then I'll send you home first, and I'll come over to fish later." ”

Then he put away the fishing line and put it back in the bamboo basket, and then took Zhang Wu back.

When she got home, Zhang Huihong was compiling the bamboo basket that Zhang Ze explained with her two daughters, and she couldn't help but wonder when she saw that her two sons had returned: "You came back so early today?" ”

"Mom, there's a big cat in the water, I'll never go fishing again!" When Zhang Wu saw his old mother, he seemed to have found the safest harbor in the world, and threw himself directly into her arms.

"Big cat?" Zhang Huihong was taken aback, there were no mountains around Qinghe Village, only some small groves.

On the distant mountain, the big cat has long been beaten by the villagers, why did he suddenly appear and be met by his son?

But the next moment, when she saw Zhang Ze with a smile on his face, she understood what was going on.

So he patted Zhang Wu's head cooperatively and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the big cat doesn't come out of the water, don't go to the river in the future, the big cat won't come out to bite you." ”

"I'll never go to the river again!"

Zhang Ze, who heard Zhang Wu swear in a muffled voice, almost didn't laugh, Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing also understood what a big cat was, so they also covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Mom, then I'll go fishing. The radio factory also has mandarin fish, and I'll send them tomorrow. ”

"Okay, you go, Ah Wu has me here!"

After leaving home, Zhang Ze returned to the fishing spot to continue fishing, and he could use the space unscrupulously without anyone around, making it more convenient to catch fish.

After about two hours of fishing, the loaches ran out, and twenty-seven fish of all kinds were caught, and the experience increased by 152 points to 165 points.

Among them, there are sixteen mandarin fish, and seven are one or two catties, so there are currently a total of eighteen.

However, Zhang Ze felt that there were five two catties and two or three taels in the space, and the other party should also ask for them, so that there would be more than twenty.

The amount was about the same, and he was ready to pack up and go back.

Fishing for two hours made him a little thirsty, so he thought of the spiritual spring in the small space.
