Chapter 49: Night Fishing
The guests in the same room all thought that the two were just flirting, and no one paid much attention to these two weirdos.
Only Shen Lang glanced at it occasionally, closely watching the movements of the two of them.
After a while, the dishes on each table were ready, and everyone's attention was focused on eating.
The couple had eaten for about fifteen minutes, and then the old man put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, leaned his right hand against the railing, looked out, and said after a while:
"Madame, are you good luck today, there is a fish swimming in the river below, and I will show you my means."
Watch me catch you a fish today. ”
After eating the last chopsticks dish, the thousand-armed Guanyin Sanniang also put down the dishes and chopsticks, took out a piece of paper from the carton, and stood up while wiping her mouth.
Suiyang Santai's right hand pointed down, but he didn't say anything, looked at it for two or three seconds and sat down again.
After the old Taoist finished speaking, he took out a circle of thin thread from his arms.
It really looked like a fishing line, and he tied a large needle about three fingers long to one end of the fishing line, which was one size bigger than a large needle for sewing clothes.
Quite unlike the usual needle, which had a barb one centimeter from the tip of the needle, he put the other end of the line firmly on his right wrist and said:
"Madame, report to you that there is now a school of carp swimming in the river downstairs.
There are five larger ones, the first one weighs four pounds, the second one weighs three pounds, and the two smaller ones weigh two pounds.
There was also a group of small fish behind, I don't know how many, anyway, I don't know how many they counted.
Do you want the biggest one, or any one? Hurry up, and if you don't say anything, the biggest three will swim through. ”
The people in the same room thought these two people were so strange when they heard this.
How to fish in the dark, this is the second floor, plus the third floor flush with the street, this floor is actually the fifth floor, at least twenty meters from the water.
At such a long distance, you can fish during the day, and you can't see the buoys or know the action of the fish, so you can't fish.
It's a dark night, and even if there are colorful lights outside, it's not far away, and you can't see it clearly, let alone see the movements of the fish swimming in the river, which is not bragging, but also boasting.
Everyone thinks that this is a man coaxing this woman, but they still have a lively mentality to see if this man has any different tricks to coax women.
"Okay, I'll try your fishing skills, the second one, the three-pound one. ”
"Good"
As soon as the good words were finished, the man's right wrist shook, and the big needle in his hand with a fishing line "whoosh" had stabbed into the water twenty meters below.
Everyone didn't know if he had stabbed the fish or not, and most of them stood up and craned their necks to watch his performance, in fact, they could see it while sitting, but their butts involuntarily left the stool.
At this time, I heard the immortal Taoist say:
"Your luck is simply too good this time, the fish takes the bait.
It feels good, just about three catties, I asked him to swim in the water for two more seconds, to relieve its pain, it wants to run away, wants to run to the middle of the river, no way, come over to me obediently, okay, follow my fishing line.
Hey, I want to drill into the left side of the thorns, I can't let it get into the gillnet, once I get in, it won't come out, I'll take it, I have to stabilize it first.
Well, it's much weaker, and it should be ready to be brought ashore, but you have to be careful, I'll pick it up, and it will fall on the table in front of you, or let it stay in the open space behind you. ”
The whole room was fascinated by his explanation, and everyone didn't know if he had actually caught a fish.
But judging from his movements, Yang Santai's right hand is to the left for a while, to the right for a while, forward for a while, and backward for a while.
For a while, the left side pulls, a moment the right side pulls, a moment the hand is held high, and the hand is lowered and lowered for a while, and the left hand also has some auxiliary movements.
It is really the fishing line that is particularly realistic, it is indeed stretched straight in any direction no matter which direction it is left, then right, before and after another.
Judging from the condition of the fishing line, it should have caught a fish, but it was not brought up, and no one was sure whether it was a fish or a crab hanging from the bottom of the fishing line.
After a minute or two like this, I saw Yang Santai's right hand pull back hard, pull it violently, lift it again, and finally wave it hard.
A miracle happened, a golden carp more than a foot long was lifted up, flew in from the place above the railing where there was no glass, and the horn fell on the open ground behind Ye Yingsong's seat.
The vast majority of people at the scene stood up, watching this incredible scene, which was really incredible.
With such a dark night, such a tall building, such a small window, and such a thin fishing line, how could this fish be caught?
This is a question that everyone else will have in their hearts, except for Yang Santai and Yin Sanniang.
Even Shen Lang, who has been in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years and has seen too many scenes, and the Taishan faction Wubu feel incredible and unheard of.
When everyone looked at it, the two catties of this fish were similar to what the fisherman said, and there should be more than two catties without three catties.
It is strange to be able to estimate the size of the fish at such a high point before it is caught, which is also a great miracle.
Everyone is watching what the fish looks like and how much it weighs.
At this moment, two voices appeared at the staircase on the second floor.
One is the sound of playing the guitar, this kind of sound is seen more often, and now many hotels, restaurants, streets, stations, and docks are often sung;
The other sounding more uncomfortable was the heavy sound of something hitting the wooden staircase, which sounded particularly harsh "tuk, tuk, tuk".
Every step of the stairs is a "tuk", and this sound sounds like an earthquake, giving people a sense of depression and panic.
As I approached the staircase, I could clearly hear the guitar playing an old song from a long time ago, "The Wanderer's Song".
Two voices rushed to the second floor first, and two people came in behind them, about half of the people in the room knew them:
One is Wan Donggui of the Beggar Gang, and the other is Lu Ge of the Beggar Gang, known as Lu Gexing in the rivers and lakes.
The guitar is naturally played, and the sound of "tuk, tuk, tuk" obviously comes from the dragon's head crutch of the beggar gang Wan Donggui. As soon as the two reached the staircase, they said:
"Excuse me, bring you a song "Song of the Wanderer", and ask for two living expenses. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, great mercy, give alms to the two of us who beg for food, and my brother is here to thank you. ”
Wan Dong, who was following closely, turned up the stairs, and then Lu Gexing's words said.
The tip of the shoe was hung up at the staircase or what was the reason, Wan Dong stumbled and almost fell to the ground, the person did not fall to the ground, but the crutch in his hand fell four or five feet away with a "horn", which scared everyone.
Before, most of the people looked at the staircase, but now all the people, even the people in the back kitchen, ran out to look at the two of them.
After three or four seconds, everyone returned to normal, eating what was in front of them.
At this time, no one noticed that the green whip that was still hanging on Ye Yingsong's right hand just now was gone.
It was a green whip about three feet long.
Just when everyone's attention shifted to the two beggars at the staircase, Yin Sanniang had already taken the green whip.
Tied to his waist, he put down the dark blue dress, just enough to cover the green whip tightly, everyone's attention has not been completely shifted, and no one has noticed that the owner of this green whip has quietly changed.
Lu Gexing stretched out his hand to help Wan Donggui, and Wan Donggui also pretended to really want someone to help him, and let him help him before he stood firm.
Lu Gexing bent down to pick up Wan Donggui's dragon head crutches and handed them back to him, the two of them hugged their fists at the same time, Wan Donggui said:
"Offended, offended, disturbed you, disturbed your peace, I hope you will forgive me.
Rely on your parents at home, rely on friends when you go out, and hope that everyone will extend your sympathetic hand, and those who have money will have a money field, and those who don't have money on their bodies will support a personal field.
It is our blessing to give money, and watching us play is also to give us face, if we listen to our singing okay, give two rewards, give a bowl of rice to eat, thank you. ”
After speaking, Wan Donggui bowed deeply again, then sat down, put the crutch on his right hand, and stretched out the cheongsam with both hands, so that everyone could throw the money in his cheongsam.
Lu Gexing walked around in the middle of the room, playing the song "Song of the Wanderer".
Someone on the table really took out some change from his pocket and threw it into Wan Donggui's arms, and some of them were not good and threw them next to Wan Donggui.
After a few minutes, the playing stopped, Wan Donggui stood up, picked up the coins around him and loaded them, and together with Lu Gexing, he clasped his fists with both hands and waved to everyone again, bowed, and said twice:
"Thank you, thank you. "Retreat from the staircase.
The thousand-armed Guanyin Yin Sanniang and the immortal Taoist Yang Santai husband and wife also went downstairs less than a minute after Wan Donggui and went downstairs, and at this time Ye Yingsong did not find that his green whip was taken away.
Of course, Shen Lang, who was more careful, didn't find out.
After these two groups of people left, Shen Lang and them ate at one table for a while.
Ye Yingsong habitually touched it in his arms, and then remembered that his green whip was hanging on a hook on the wall on his right hand.
As soon as he looked up and found that the green whip that was still there just now was missing, he immediately asked Ye Yingfeng, who was sitting on his left:
"Senior brother, did you take the green whip I hung here?"
The reason why he asked this question was that Ye Yingfeng usually liked to joke with him, often teased him, and sometimes deliberately made him cry.
In fact, Ye Yingfeng and Ye Yingsong are two brothers and sisters, the son and daughter of Ye Huangshan, the head of the Huangshan faction.
Ye Yingfeng is the elder brother, Ye Yingsong is the younger sister, the elder brother is twenty-three years old, and the younger sister is nineteen years old.
Coming with them was Ye Huangshan's eldest apprentice, Yu Linfeng, who was now twenty-five years old, and was only two years older than Ye Yingfeng.
This time they also received an invitation from Xixia Villa, Ye Huangshan didn't want to come to participate in any recruitment competition.
He had already sealed the knife and didn't want to walk on the rivers and lakes again, but when the Huangshan faction received this news, his son and daughter wanted to participate.
