"Brother, can you take me fishing with you tonight?"

Walking on the ridge of the field, looking at Zhang Wu's hopeful eyes, Zhang Ze thought for a while and did not continue to refuse.

If you don't let him go, he will probably think about it every day, and maybe he will secretly go fishing by himself.

Half-grown children don't know the dangers. It would be terrible if they fell into the water and there was no one around them.

In rural areas where there are streams and rivers, many disobedient children drown every year.

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

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

When he was a child, he didn't know what a big cat was. He thought it was a strange creature more than 20 meters long that specialized in eating children. Anyway, he really didn't dare to come to the river to play at that time.

Only when I grew up did I realize that the big cat was the tiger.

So there are tigers in the river?

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

Even when children play and refuse to go home, adults will fool the children by telling them that a big cat is chasing them.

The big cat is his best tool to scare children!

Zhang Ze agreed to let Zhang Wu come with him today, mainly because he considered that half-year-old children have little patience and will definitely lose interest in fishing if he cannot catch fish later.

"Okay, but you have to be obedient and don't run around by yourself."

"I will definitely be obedient!"

Finally, I could go fishing with him. Zhang Wu was very motivated and ran to dig up loaches very actively.

Because it was a last-minute decision to go fishing for mandarin fish, I was in a hurry at night and didn’t dig many loaches.

At present, there are more than 30 mandarin fish kept in the fishing space but not sold, but there are only 11 mandarin fish weighing one or two kilograms. The rest are basically two and a half kilograms or more, three kilograms or so, and there are also a few larger ones.

Article.

He knew the purpose of the fat man asking for a pound or two. He obviously wanted to eat tender mandarin fish. As the mandarin fish gets bigger, the meat will become older and the taste will be much worse.

Common grouper also has this problem, but it is better than mandarin fish.

Why is sea erythema so expensive? Isn’t it because the quantity is relatively small, and the bigger it is, the more delicious it is?

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

And now the space is five cubic meters, which is quite large. He can definitely catch more fish and put them in for preparation.

The sky turned 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. In addition, the weather is good during this period. The moonlight is bright and you can clearly see the road conditions in front of you.

But Zhang Ze is already thinking about getting a lighting device at night.

The most ideal thing is of course a flashlight, but the battery life in this era is very poor, the flashlight may not be easy to use, and it requires a ticket to purchase, so he thought he might be able to get a lantern to use.

The horse lantern is naturally not as useful as a flashlight, but as long as there is enough kerosene, its lighting time can be much longer.

As for foreign oil stamps, that is, kerosene stamps, it should be no problem to get some from the radio factory. They may be better than flashlight stamps.

It depends on the situation. If they give you a flashlight ticket, then buy a flashlight. It’s just a bit more high-profile.

The two of them reached the mandarin fish fishing spot with sticks in their hands, and after looking at the number of loaches, Zhang Ze took out a small handful and crushed them with stones to make a nest.

Then he took out the fishing line and tied it with a small fishhook, cut the loach into two pieces with a slightly sharper stone and hung it up. The other end of the fishing line was wrapped around a wooden stick and handed to Zhang Wu.

"Awu, just throw the bait into the water. When you feel something pulling the fishing line, use a wooden stick to clamp it and slowly pull the fishing line back. Remember not to pull it too fast."

"By the way, go to the side, otherwise our fishing lines will get tangled up if the distance is too close."

"Yeah, I know!"

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 wooden stick with one hand and the fishing line with the other hand and threw the bait into the water with force.

However, Zhang Ze deliberately did not tie a small stone to increase the weight, so the bait was not thrown far and did not sink. It just floated on the upper layer of the water.

Away from the nesting site, the dead loach did not sink or move, so he thought it would be difficult to hit the fish.

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

Unexpectedly, before he had time to throw the bait down, there was a loud "crash" sound from the water surface next to him, followed immediately by the sound of "ouch".

Zhang Wu was pulled forward two steps by a huge force. The next moment, the fishhook detached and bounced back. He sat down on the ground before he could react.

Damn it~

Zhang Ze was so frightened on the spot that he quickly ran over after reacting: "Awu, are you okay?"

Zhang Wu's face turned pale, and he pointed to the water with a horrified expression: "Brother, there is... there is a big cat..."

Zhang Ze checked his hand, then pulled it up to see if he was injured. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was okay.

Later, he was quite convinced of his younger brother's luck. A big fish bit the hook on his first fishing trip. This is the dream of many fishermen!

But he could take the opportunity to stop his brother from continuing to fish with him.

"Yes, it's a big cat that specializes in eating children. I said I won't let you come fishing because I'm afraid of attracting big cats. Look, the big cats will come out to find you as soon as you come."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Wu became even more scared and quickly shrank into his arms: "Brother, let's go home and stop fishing!"

"No, brother wants to make money by fishing, otherwise where will you get the meat and sugar to eat? Besides, big cats only eat children, and they won't eat adults like me. How about you wait nearby, and we'll wait until brother has almost caught all the fish.

Go back again."

"No, I...I'm scared. I won't eat the meat or the sugar. Let's not fish today!"

Seeing that Zhang Wu was really frightened, Zhang Ze stopped teasing him: "Okay, then I will send you home first and come back to fish later."

Then he collected the fishing lines and put them back into the bamboo basket, and then took Zhang Wu back.

When she got home, Zhang Huihong and her two daughters were weaving the bamboo baskets Zhang Ze had given them. When she saw that her two sons were back, she couldn't help but wonder: "You guys are back so early today?"

"Mom, there is a big cat in the water. I will 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 into her arms.

"Big cat?" Zhang Huihong was startled. There were no mountains around Qinghe Village, just some small woods.

On the mountain farther away, the big cat had been killed by the villagers long ago. How come it suddenly appeared and was met by his own son?

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

So he patted Zhang Wu's head in cooperation and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the big cat won'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 will never go to the river to play again!"

Zhang Ze almost burst out laughing when he heard Zhang Wu's muffled swearing. Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing also understood what a big cat was, so they covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Mom, then I will continue fishing. The radio factory also wants mandarin fish, and I will send them to you tomorrow."

"Okay, go ahead, Awu, I'm here!"

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

After fishing for about two hours, I ran out of loaches and caught 27 fish of various kinds. My experience points increased by 152 points and reached 165 points.

Among them, there are sixteen mandarin fish, seven weighing one or two kilograms, so there are currently eighteen fish in total.

However, Zhang Ze felt that the opponent who had five two-pound, two-three-liang pieces in the space would also want them, which would make it more than twenty pieces.

The quantity was about the same, and he was ready to pack it up and take it back.
