Chen Zhaozhao smiled mysteriously, "Of course I fished in the river ditch."
When Liu Guihua and the others heard about Xia Hegou, they immediately gave up hope.
There is a small river more than two meters wide running through the middle of Lishan Village. There are farmlands beside the small river. Every year, fish are put into the rice fields in the village. When there is a flood every summer, fish will run into the river, even if there is no flood.
There will also be fish swimming out of the rice fields and into the river.
Coupled with wild fish, there are a lot of fish in the river, especially in the lower ditch.
The river in the village is not very deep, but about one kilometer downstream from the end of the village there is a large, deep ditch about five or six meters wide, where a lot of fish accumulate.
People go fishing every year, but no one ever catches one.
I heard from people in the village that when there was an extreme shortage of food more than ten decades ago, some people tried to cut off the river to get fish but failed. Some people also wanted to go down to fish, but the fish was drowned before they could catch it.
From then on, no one dared to go into the water, because it was a natural world, and whoever caught the fish got it. Because there was a lack of food, there were always people who went fishing without giving up.
When they went fishing, some fish took the bait, but they never succeeded in catching it. They all said that there were so many fish in it.
Unfortunately, for more than ten years, no one has been able to eat the fish there.
Regarding that place, some people say it’s unclear. The fish are all taken up by things in the river, and people on the shore can’t even hope to catch them.
As time went by, in the past two years, no one went fishing anymore.
Chen Zhaozhao has been coveting the fish there since he discovered that the Lingquan water can attract fish. Now that he is healed and can move freely, of course he will have a big fight.
Although she believed in some non-scientific things now, the fact that she couldn't catch the fish in the river ditch must have nothing to do with it. No matter what, she was going to give it a try.
"Don't waste time." Chen Sanmei said, "You have that time, why not make more nutritious water."
"I'm going to try it. Fourth sister, let's go. Third sister, you pick vegetables at home."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Chen Simei now listens to Chen Zhaozhao very much, because she thinks, "Mom, sisters, have you forgotten that Zhaozhao is a lucky treasure? She can definitely catch fish."
Everyone, "..."
It was such a happy decision to make the arrangements for the afternoon.
Liu Guihua took Chen Xiaoni to take a nap, Chen Damei and the others started picking vegetables to prepare for tomorrow's business, Chen Zhaozhao went to the woodshed to get the fishing rod that had been left for a long time, and Chen Simei went to dig for earthworms.
Their family was most short of food, so Chen Dawang made his own fishing rods and went fishing in the river ditch. He went several times but returned with no success and never went back.
Chen Zhaozhao checked the fishing rod and found that it was still in good condition. After Chen Simei had dug out the earthworms, the two of them picked up a bucket and put on the fishing rod net and set off.
The weather was sunny today, with light clouds and light wind, which was very suitable for fishing. It took about ten minutes to walk to the lower ditch.
This is a downhill river pool, formed because of the obstruction of huge hard rocks, so the water flow is relatively fast.
The trees and weeds along the river are very deep, as are the aquatic plants, which makes the river look very deep. The strong current of the river also creates small whirlpools.
Of course, it is difficult to catch fish in such current conditions, and even if the fish is hooked, it can easily escape through the current.
"How are we going to fish now?" Chen Simei looked at the deep ditch and felt that it was not easy to catch fish.
"Let's go here." Chen Zhaozhao chose the lowest position in the river ditch, "I will fish, and the fourth sister will help get the fish later."
"Okay." Chen Simei helped hook the earthworm onto the fishhook.
Chen Zhaozhao couldn't wait to throw out the fishing line.
She held the fishing rod in both hands. In order not to be abrupt, she waited for some time before drawing the spiritual spring water from her right hand and reaching the water through the fishing rod to lure the fish.
After a while, the fish took the bait.
"Zhaozhao, come on, come on, come on!" Chen Simei shouted excitedly when she saw the movement.
Chen Zhaozhao obeyed and pulled hard, and saw a big grass carp hanging on the hook.
"Ah ah ah~" Chen Simei shouted excitedly, "Zhao Zhao, be careful, Zhao Zhao, please slow down and don't drop it."
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister, it won't fall." Chen Zhaozhao threw the fish in the direction of Chen Simei, and Chen Simei stretched out the fishing rod and net to quickly catch the fish.
"Ah ha ha ha~ Zhao Zhao, you are really a blessing, ah ah ah~ What a big grass carp, it must be at least five or six kilograms." Chen Simei was very excited. She netted the fish in the bucket and covered it with a net.
.
"Zhaozhao, you are really awesome, you caught the fish on the first rod, hahaha~"
"Yeah." Chen Zhaozhao looked at the fish in the bucket and nodded with satisfaction. The big grass carp of about six pounds was not bad. It was worthy of being accumulated in the ditch for many years, but there should be bigger fish.
Chen Simei became active and quickly hooked up earthworms. Chen Zhaozhao started fishing again. She tried to use Lingquan water to explore the situation in the water. Then she clearly felt the situation of the water flow, the flow speed, the quality of the water, and what was in it.
aquatic life.
Because she was trying to find out the situation, she didn't catch any fish for a long time this time, but the fish inside got excited, and some of them even jumped out of the water, making Chen Simei look at them and howl.
Fortunately, there was no one here at this time, otherwise people would have thought she was crazy.
"Zhaozhao, there is a fish. I just saw a big fish. Why hasn't the fish taken the bait yet? Can you see if the bait is still there?" Chen Simei was a little anxious because of the long wait.
Chen Zhaozhao pulled up the fishing rod and all the earthworms were gone.
"Oops~" Chen Simei exclaimed, "When did you get eaten? Come on, come on, come on, put it on and start over."
In fact, Chen Zhaozhao washed away the earthworms with spiritual spring water. Anyway, she had spiritual spring water and didn't need earthworms at all. She was a little repelled by earthworms, so she didn't want the fish she was eating to bite the earthworms.
Chen Simei hooked up the earthworms, and Chen Zhaozhao started fishing again.
The two of them fished like this until Chen Dawang and Zhang Genshan passed by while returning from chopping firewood in the mountains, and then they went back with them.
This afternoon, the two caught four fish. After all, it was the first time. Chen Zhaozhao did not catch fish every time, and the fishing time became longer and longer. She kept exploring the situation in the water and knew what was inside.
No matter how many fish there are, she can still choose which one to go fishing with later.
She has mastered fishing by controlling the spiritual spring water.
Because there were two full buckets of small fish and big fish, Chen Dawang and Zhang Genshan were so shocked when they saw the fish in the buckets that they almost dropped the firewood on their shoulders.
There were two grass carp, one weighing about six kilograms, one smaller one weighing about four kilograms, one carp weighing about eight kilograms and one crucian carp weighing about three kilograms.
Chen Dawang was stunned when he looked at Chen Zhaozhao, "Did you catch it, Zhaozhao?"
"Well, I'm lucky." Chen Zhaozhao said with a smile.
Chen Dawang had fished here before and knew how difficult it was to catch the fish. He did not expect that his youngest daughter could actually catch four fish in one afternoon, and they were so big every day.
He thought it was incredible, but he could only explain it because Chen Zhaozhao was very good at fishing.
"Dad, brother-in-law, you don't know how powerful Zhaozhao is. She is indeed the blessing of our family. You don't know that there are so many big fish here. We all escaped several of them, otherwise we could catch more."
Chen Simei said extremely excitedly.
Not to mention in this poor era, even in the prosperous future generations, catching so many and big fish would be very exciting.
"It's my first time today and I'm not very good at it. I'll catch more fish when I get better at it." Chen Zhaozhao said with a smile that the amount of fish in this ditch was quite impressive, enough for her to make a fortune.
"Okay, let's go back and don't tell outsiders about the fish we caught." Chen Dawang asked.
"Yeah." Chen Zhaozhao and the other three nodded obediently.
This matter must be hidden first, otherwise it will make people jealous. Fortunately, their home is at the end of the village, so it is easy to avoid people. Otherwise, this matter would not be hidden at all in the middle or at the head of the village.
The four of them returned home happily, because the sun was about to set and everyone was cooking dinner at home. They didn't meet anyone along the way, and no one noticed them when they entered the house.
As soon as they entered the door, Chen Xiaoni, who heard the noise, ran out of the main room quickly, "Mom, did you catch a fish?"
"Come and see, baby..." Chen Zhaozhao greeted Chen Xiaoni with a smile, but he saw Yu Jinggui coming out slowly behind Chen Xiaoni.
Her next words suddenly got stuck in her throat. Why did Yu Jinggui come again?
