Chapter 10 The Way of Fishing
Long Chuan tied the main line, and cut a section about 50 centimeters long on the more retained line. After tying a fishhook to each end of this thin line, Ryuchuan folded the thread in half, one side slightly longer and the other side slightly shorter. The dragon then connects this folded thread to a figure-eight ring connected to the main line.
The old man who was sitting said curiously: "Doll, what are you doing here? Why don't you tie the hook directly to that thread?"
Long Chuan grinned and said, "Ancestor, this thin line is called a subline. With this line, it's easier to catch the alfonient that you've always wanted to catch. ”
Long Chuan didn't tell the ancestor that this was the most typical practice of the Taiwan fishing method in another time and space. A main line, a strand line, not only can improve the rate of fish, when encountering too large fish, to break the line, but also to break the strand first, without causing the main line or even the fishing rod to be broken.
The old man who was sitting asked, "What is the reason? What is the difference between this except that there is one more hook? Isn't it possible to tie two hooks to that thread?"
Long Chuan still smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, don't be impatient for a while. After trying it for a while, you'll know. Please sell Rongzi again. ”
With that, Long Chuan lowered his head, increased the speed of his hand, and quickly loaded the lead skin and float.
After the installation, Long Chuan stood up and said to the old ancestor of the platform with high morale: "Old ancestor, where is the sand bottom? Let's go over." ”
After the ancestor walked to another place, Long Chuan put the fishing rod aside, took out some powder residue and flour from the two bags, poured them into the basin, stirred the bait, and then took some water from the lotus pond and added it to the mixed powder bait. Then, Long Chuan slightly crossed the five fingers of his right hand and slashed in the basin. After paddling for a while, Long Chuan tried to pinch the mixture of bait water, and said in his heart: "It's okay." Don't think about it. However, the viscosity is enough. Get a few bait and fool a few dace to come up. ”
Long Chuan put the basin aside, pulled the float to about a meter away from the figure-eight ring, and threw the fishing line out. After the entire line group entered the water, the float quickly submerged into the water. Long Chuan continued to pull the float up, and after several repeated attempts, the float finally came to the surface. Long Chuanwei measured that the water depth was about one meter and a half. At this depth, dace fishing should be good.
Long Chuan pulled up the line group, pulled the float down by dozens of centimeters, turned to the old ancestor of the platform and said, "Old ancestor, do you have scissors or anything like that?"
It turned out that as soon as the old man standing stretched out his hand, a pair of scissors were handed to Long Chuan's hand.
Long Chuan subtracted a piece of the lead skin and threw the line back into the water. After trying this a few times, the float finally surfaced. Long Chuan estimated that the position where the float was now exposed was about five eyes in another time and space. "Hey, hey, he "The dragon said darkly.
The two old men were already stunned on the side. The thin old man knew that when the ancestor of Tantai was free, his favorite thing to do was fishing. Even in the Imperial Weapon Sect, the ancestor of the Tai Dynasty did not lack fishing. The spirit fish raised by the sect master don't know how many of them have been caught by him and run away.
However, he has been with the ancestor for more than 2,000 years, and he has seen the fish that the ancestor has been fishing for more than 2,000 years, and he has never seen this matter so complicated.
Long Chuan slapped the bait that had been placed in the basin for a while a few more times with his hands, clumping it into a ball, and then looked at the old ancestor of the platform and said, "Old ancestor, you come and try it?"
The old man who was sitting showed a slight embarrassment on his face, and said, "Doll, you come first." The old man will take a look first. ”
The thin old man smiled secretly: "It seems that the master is also shocked, afraid of making a fool of himself!"
Don't be, as soon as the fishing rod is in hand, Long Chuan's hand is really itchy. Long Chuan smiled and said, "Ancestor, that's not welcome." It's ugly. ”
With that, Long Chuan stretched out his left hand, pulled a ball off the bait, rubbed it on a fishing hook, and kneaded it into a peanut-sized shape. After rubbing this bait, Long Chuan did the same and rubbed the bait on another hook.
The old man who was sitting asked suspiciously, "Doll, didn't you melt into the water after a while if you threw these two balls?"
Long Chuan smiled and said, "Ancestor, you can see it. What you want is it. ”
After that, Long Chuan stood up, his arm was gentle, his wrist flicked, and he threw the fishing line out. No way. The height is too short, and the pole is too long, so I have to stand up and throw the rod.
After the bait enters the water, the float slowly sinks, and when it sinks to the level of the water, the float settles.
Long Chuan returned his hand and lifted the fishing line. The old man who was sitting asked, "Doll, what's wrong?"
Long Chuan smiled, pulled the float upwards about two eyes away, and said, "Ancestor, don't worry, it's easy to use." ”
Immediately, Long Chuan rubbed the bait and threw the line set into the water.
After the float stands still, his eyes are exposed. After waiting for less than a minute, the float came down quickly. Long Chuan's wrist flicked slightly, and the fishing rod instantly completed a large curved bow. Long Chuan secretly said in his heart: "It's so powerful! The fish of the mansion master's family is stupid!" Xia Qiqi clapped his hands and shouted: "Brother Chuan is so good!"
The fish in the water pulled the line and jumped violently in the water, and the line suddenly whined. Long Chuan stood up, his face flushed, his hands went up and down, and he held the fishing rod tightly, competing with the fish in the water. The two old men also became nervous, standing next to them, constantly shaking with the left and right of the dragon legend.
Long Chuan peeked at it, and when he saw the nervous appearance of the ancestor of the platform, his heart moved, and he said, "Ancestor, the fish is too big. The child is not strong enough to pull up. Why don't you try it for a while?"
The old man who had been sitting there was already eager to try. Hearing the dragon legend, the old man was not polite, and said, "Okay, I'll come, I'll come!" The old man was in a hurry, and threw the "old man" aside.
The old man took the fishing rod in Long Chuan's hand, followed the appearance of Long Chuan, one hand on the top and the other hand on the bottom, and began to fight with the fish. Long Chuan watched from the side for a while, secretly admiring in his heart. Looking at the appearance of this old man, it is clear that he is just fighting fish with the strength of a mortal. It seems that this Tantai ancestor is really a real fishing enthusiast.
After the old man and the fish tugged and pulled for a while, the fish in the water jumped forward, and the fishing rod in the old man's hand was suddenly flattened. Long Chuan hurriedly shouted, "Don't!
As soon as the dragon's voice fell, the ground collapsed, the fishing rod rebounded, and the fish ran away.
Xia Qiqi shouted in a regretful voice: "Ah!
The old man held the fishing rod in his hand and said curtly: "Ran away." ”
Long Chuan smiled and said, "Ancestor, don't worry. Again. ”
After connecting a pair of threads and rubbing the bait, the dragon said, "Ancestor, you come." Throw it to the one just now. ”
The old man threw the line group to the fall just now, and asked Long Chuan, "Float and pull it as soon as you go down?"
Long Chuantou said, "Yes." As long as the float sinks rapidly, you can pull it when you are old. ”
After waiting for a few minutes, the float moved again. The float floated up and down a few times, and the old man's face immediately became nervous. Immediately, the float quickly came down, and Xia Qiqi shouted: "Pull!"
Between the dragon's sweat, the old man raised his arms, and the fishing rod arched again. Long Chuan reminded: "Ancestor, don't worry, just don't give it a tug-of-war again." ”
The old man stood up, keeping his rod from being flattened by the fish in the water. After about a quarter of an hour of tossing and turning, the fish in the water was finally pulled out of the water. The thin old man cried out with joy, "Lord...... Ancestor, it's a rohu!"
The old man laughed, raised his arm slightly, and lifted the fish in the water to shore. Seeing this, Long Chuan pursed his lips in his heart, and said secretly: "Fool yourself! ”
Seeing a seventy or eighty centimeter fish fluttering on the ground, Xia Qiqi clapped his hands and exclaimed: "It's great! Old man is so good! What a big fish!"
After the thin old man happily plucked the fish, the old man holding the fishing rod asked, "Doll, you have a good idea." Come, come, come, what is the trick with the old man, this strand, this float, and these bait. ”
Long Chuan stretched out his hand to pick up the thread and said, "Ancestor, look. When the float comes to a halt in the water, the state of the strand is like this. The fishhook above has just bottomed out. The hook below is lying horizontally under the water. In this case, the bait on the upper hook will slowly scatter and attract the fish. And rohu scrapes the bottom of the pond to feed. The hook below is lying down, just enough to make it easier for it to suck the bait into its mouth. The bait is covered with a hook. When the fish sucks the bait into their mouths, the hook is also sucked in, so it also causes the float to sink. At this time, the rod can be just right to stab the mouth of the fish. ”
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Doll, are you, this kind of fishing method, if the rod is not lifted in time, the fish will spit out the hook?"
The dragon turned his head and said, "Yes, Ancestor. This kind of fishing, unlike hanging soft worms, pays attention to the timing. If the rod is lifted late, the fish will probably spit out the hook. If the rod is lifted early, the fish may not have sucked the hook into its mouth and will not be able to catch it. ”
The old man thought for a while and asked, "Doll, why don't you just tie the two hooks to the main line?"
Long Chuan smiled: "Ancestor, there are two reasons for this. First, the strand is thinner than the main line, which is convenient for the fish to suck. The thinner the line, the less vigilant the fish will be. When the fish sucks, the more resistance there is, the easier it is to hit the fish. Second, the subline is thinner than the main line, if it encounters too large a fish, it is the subline that breaks, but not the main line and the rod, which can reduce losses. ”
The old man's face gradually became serious, and he asked, "Doll, you realized these truths yourself?"
Long Chuan smiled: "Old Ancestor, this is just a way of playing, it's nothing. ”
The old man smiled and said, "The way of playing is not simple. Doll, your reasoning, the old man understands. However, the old man still has two questions. What do you mean by that tug-of-war? Can we all switch to a bigger line? That way, if we run into a bigger fish, we won't let it run away. ”
Long Chuan sweated for a moment and said, "Ancestor, tug-of-war is a game that Zi has done before. While speaking, Long Chuan gestured and said, "If this happens, the toughness of the rod will not be able to play a role." All the force is borne by the fishing line, and it is easy to break the line. If they all change to larger threads, it's not impossible. However, sub fishing, there is a particularity. At this point, the dragon passed on to a halt.
The old man immediately asked, "What's so important?"
Long Chuan smiled: "Zi fishing, there is a goal every time. If you want to catch a big fish, use a big line. If you want to catch a fish, use some line. Zi felt that instead of wanting to eat it all, it was better to specialize in one. When you encounter a big fish, you will run away if you run away, and it is not in the child's expectation anyway. Since the seniors want to catch rohu, the younger generations think that it is better to use a line. ”
When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, as if he was talking to himself: "Specialize in one? The old man was taught. ”
The old man sighed: "How many ...... has the old man fished Ten years of fish, thinking that he was proficient in this way, never thought that today he let a doll teach the old man a lesson. ”
Long Chuan said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, if you don't mind, you don't like to hear it." Hearing the Tao is in no particular order, and ambition is not in high age. This way of the son is called the way of fishing. If the ancestors like fishing, they can't look at this way. ”
The old man's eyes lit up again, and he said, "What a good one, in no particular order! Let's go, doll, what kind of lotus seeds do you want the old man to help you get? ”
In Long Chuan's mind, Qing sighed: "Long Chuan, you can really fool!"
In the tree, a sparrow chirped disdainfully, "Thief!"
