Chapter 33 Big Fish
Fengyun walked forward along the river bank, holding a clay pot in his hand, Lei followed not far behind him, holding a bamboo pole several feet long in his hand.
Behind them was another person, Zhu, who was holding a large pottery bowl in his hand.
Wu and Bao stood not far away, their eyes following the movement of the three of them.
The three of Fengyun are putting fish cards into the river.
Fengyun was in charge of releasing the fish card from the clay pot, and Lei used a bamboo pole to lift it into the water away from the shore.
Bamboo sprinkles some boiled seeds on the place where the fish card sinks to attract the fish to bite the fish card.
After a short time, the fish card was finished.
Fengyun stuck a wooden stick deep into the river bank, and fastened the end of the fishing card to it.
"okay."
Fengyun clapped his hands, turned around and walked towards Wu Hebao.
"Yun, can this fish card really catch fish?"
Ray glanced into the river.
"Brother Lei, the fish card has already entered the river, and we will know soon whether we can catch fish."
Feng Yun is unwilling to argue, he believes that facts speak louder than words.
"Wu, Uncle Bao, it's over. Let's go fishing."
Feng Yun walked to Wu He Bao's side, bent down and picked up an animal skin bag, which contained many thin wooden sticks.
"When will you collect the fish card?"
Bao Xiang took a step back so that Lei could pick up a bundle of bamboo poles on the ground.
"It should be almost there when the sun reaches the top of the head."
Fengyun pointed to the sun.
A group of five people walked forward for about fifty feet, and Fengyun who was walking in the front stopped.
He put the animal skin bag on the ground and poured out all the contents, except for a large number of thin wooden sticks, fishing tackle, a bone knife and a large piece of fresh meat.
Fengyun took the bamboo pole from the thunder, tied the fishing line firmly to the tip of the bamboo pole, cut off a piece of fresh meat, hung it on the hook, and flicked it vigorously. Driven by the small stones near the hook, it swished It flew out and fell into the river with a thud.
Fengyun inserted the end of the bamboo pole deeply into the soil, picked up a thin wooden stick, and tied a string attached to it to the bamboo pole.
He didn't stop there, stretched out his hand to make a gesture, picked up another thin wooden stick and inserted it into the soil directly under the bamboo pole.
Get close to the bamboo pole, clamp it with your armpit, press down, and grab two wooden sticks with both hands, and lean their ends together.
At this time, everyone discovered that the ends of the two wooden sticks were partially cut off, forming two 7 characters, one reverse and the other positive, which can be buckled together.
Little by little reduce the force applied to the bamboo pole, making sure that the two thin wooden sticks will not come off.
"It worked."
Fengyun's arm was completely off the wooden stick, and the wooden stick was still clasped together, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Boy Yun, is this what you mean by fishing?"
Bao looked at the fishing rod that Fengyun had set up, and asked.
"Yes and no."
"Is it or is it not?"
"It is because it's a form of fishing, but it's done so that you can get away and do something else, and it's not because that's not what people normally do. fishing."
"What kind of situation is the general situation?"
"Hold the fishing rod with your hand, and when you see a fish biting the hook, immediately lift up the fishing rod and hook the fish."
"The hook sank under the water and I couldn't see it with my eyes. How would I know that a fish bit the hook?"
"It's all about the floats. I have some floats made of bird feathers threaded on the line."
Fengyun picked up a set of fishing tackle and explained.
"When it comes to fishing, adjust according to the water depth so that some of them go deep underwater and some float on the surface. If there are fish biting the hook, you can know it through them.
"
"That's right. Boy Yun, you're so smart."
A look of bewilderment was revealed.
The others also had the same expressions on their faces.
Before Fengyun gave the answer, they also had the same confusion as Bao.
"What kind of change in the float is the best time to raise the pole?"
Riot continued to question.
"It depends on the specific situation. Different fish will have different changes in the float, and fishermen need to figure it out."
"Doesn't that mean I'll fail many times?"
It's hard to hide the disappointment.
"Bao, you are too impatient. Fishing is the same as hunting. How can you become a master right away? Practice more and work hard, and I believe you can become an excellent fishing master."
Wu comforted Bao with words.
"Yun, with the set of fishing tackle you set up just now, I didn't see any floats on the fishing line. How can you know if a fish is biting the hook and make sure you can catch it?"
Wu obviously became interested in the fishing tackle that Fengyun had just set up.
"No bobber needed. If a fish takes a bite the line will..."
Fengyun stopped, not because he didn't want to continue explaining, but because he didn't need to explain anymore.
Just as he was speaking, there was already movement, and the fishing line suddenly sank downward and became taut.
The downward pull of the fishing line causes the fishing rod to sink, causing the two thin wooden sticks holding the fishing rod to disengage.
The rod immediately began to return to its original state, and the tip of the rod popped up suddenly, causing the line to be pulled back, but it was only pulled back a short distance before it stopped.
The next moment, the fishing line suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, and the fishing rod began to bend again.
"Caught it!"
Fengyun rushed over at a brisk pace, pulled out the fishing rod from the ground, grasped it firmly with both hands, pulled it back, and wrestled with the fish in the water.
"Did you really catch a fish? Quick, quick, pull it up and have a look."
Bao rushed to Fengyun's side, reaching out to help him pull the fishing rod.
Wu, Lei, and Zhu also gathered around, and three pairs of eyes fixed on the water surface, full of eagerness and curiosity, wishing to penetrate the water surface and see the fish caught by the hook.
"okay."
With both hands, Fengyun pulled the fishing rod back violently, and the fishing rod immediately turned into a curved bow.
When the water splashed, a silver light broke through the water and fell heavily on the ground with a crisp sound.
Bao was the first to rush over, and the others followed closely behind him, even the steady Wu almost ran away.
Fengyun also followed, poked his head in through the gap between Bao and Lei, and looked towards the ground.
Lying on the ground was a big fish that was longer than an adult's arm, and its scales gleamed under the sunlight.
Its shape is rather strange, almost thick up and down, and looks quite similar to a stick.
The mouth is open, covered with nail-like sharp teeth, neatly arranged, forming the appearance of a saw, very frightening.
It was no longer moving, and it was obvious that a heavy fall had just killed it.
"It's a stick fish. It's extremely fast. It's extremely difficult to catch one on weekdays. I didn't expect to catch one so easily today."
There are smiles all over the face.
"That's Yun's fishing tackle."
Wu did not forget Fengyun's contribution.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Storm nodded again and again.
"Although I believed that Yun's fishing tackle could catch fish from the beginning, I just didn't expect it to be so easy."
"This time there is some luck involved, and I didn't expect to succeed once."
"It's already pretty good. Just like hunting, no one can guarantee that every hunt will be successful."
"Wu, let's go back and talk if we have anything to say. Let's try quickly and see who catches the fish first."
Bao's proposal was immediately supported by Lei and Zhu, and they took fishing rods and hooks one after another, and set them up like scholars.
Later, Wu couldn't hold back any longer and joined in.
Fengyun nodded, picked up the fishing tackle, and walked further away.
After the five people had set up their fishing rods, Feng Yun had already set up all the fishing gear, and even hung the bait on the hook.
The five people lined up in a row, and the distance between each two people was about two feet.
There are indeed a lot of fish in the river. As soon as the hook sinks into the water, there is a desire for fish.
Fish love comes from bamboo, and all the floats in front of him suddenly sank into the water.
He subconsciously yanked the fishing rod, but encountered huge resistance, and the fishing rod was pulled into a semicircle.
The strength from the water continued unabated, and he couldn't nail it any longer, and his body began to lean forward.
"not good!"
Fengyun was the closest to Zhu, and immediately realized that the situation was not good, pulled the hook out of the water, threw it on the shore, and rushed towards him.
Finally, before his body was pulled by the fish and rushed into the river, he grabbed the fishing rod in his hand.
"It's a big fish!"
As soon as his hand touched the fishing rod, Fengyun realized that it was a big fish that bit the hook this time, at least much bigger than the one he caught before.
He did not use brute force to confront the fish head-on, but tightened and loosened from time to time, deftly defusing the impact of the big fish again and again.
The fishing line he handed to Zhu for this set of fishing tackle was relatively thin. Although the fishing line made of twisted iron and vine fibers was very strong, he was unwilling to take risks.
Wait until part of the fish's strength is consumed before pulling it ashore.
"Boy Yun, pull quickly. What are you dawdling for?"
Fengyun is not in a hurry, but Bao is in a hurry.
"Uncle Bao, this time it's a big guy. I'm worried that the fishing line will be broken. I'm going to take it for a walk."
"Big guy? How big is it?"
"I don't know. But it should be much bigger than the one just now."
"I'll take a look."
Bao imitated Fengyun's appearance, put away his fishing rod, and walked towards him.
"You try to keep the fish's head close to the surface, and I'll help you."
Fengyun has been walking for almost five minutes, and there is no sign of ending, Bao is a little impatient.
At this time, both Lei and Wu had already harvested, especially Wu, who had already caught three.
"I will try my best."
Fengyun began to apply force, and the fishing line was pulled out of the water little by little.
After a while, a thick black shadow appeared under the water.
Although it is still unclear, it is certain that it is definitely a big guy.
With a splash, the water splashed everywhere, and the fish's head finally came out of the water, and it was twice as big as a human head.
The big fish turned around suddenly, and most of its body was out of the water.
Fengyun's heart tightened, and he realized that it was going to exert strength, and was about to break free from the shackles of the fishing line.
As soon as the strength in his hand was loosened, Fengyun was ready to release the line, not wanting to confront the big fish head-on, worried that the fishing line would not be able to bear it.
At this moment, a sound of piercing through the air suddenly sounded beside his ears.
At the same moment he saw a black dot shoot into the fish's head, making a deep hole.
The big fish suddenly lost his strength, and his tense body also softened.
Fengyun pulled it to the shore, grabbed its gills, and pulled it up.
It's a big one.
It was half as long as his body, conservatively estimated to be at least twice his body weight.
