Chapter 225: Fishing
Old Deng stopped the boat and asked quickly, "Handsome boy, did you spot any crocodiles?"
Ye Qing glanced at him and was about to deny it, but after changing his mind, he simply said, "I found out."
Faced with the truth, Old Deng didn't believe it and said with a smile: "Handsome boy, you are really good at joking. There is still half of the reservoir to explore."
"Let's finish shopping early and go back early."
Ye Qing nodded, calmed down and observed the crocodile carefully.
The crocodile was motionless at the bottom of the water, with most of its body covered in mud. If it weren't for Ye Qing's sensing ability, it would be difficult to detect it even if someone dived into the water.
What a cunning guy.
In fact, crocodiles are very smart, and this one is too smart.
Through sensing and observation, Ye Qing could feel that the crocodile was also staring at the boat on the water.
Crocodiles have extremely sensitive hearing and vision.
When he discovered the crocodile, the crocodile also discovered him.
Time passed minute by minute, and Ye Qing had plenty of patience. About five minutes later, the crocodile suddenly moved, and shot out far away like an arrow, and it bit a big grass carp.
Ye Qing was secretly shocked, what a fast speed.
He looked up information online and found that crocodiles often appear to move slowly. When moving, they do not crawl forward with their bodies close to the ground. Instead, they stagger, stretch out their four legs, float their bodies, and drag their tails on the ground.
actually.
That's just an illusion.
Each part of the crocodile's body is very flexible, and its sudden bursts of speed and power are amazing.
If you add intelligence to the equation, it would be extremely difficult to catch this crocodile in the reservoir.
After the crocodile finished eating the big bluefish, it swam a long way away before spitting out the leftover part of the bluefish. Then, it returned to the place where it had just been and lay there motionless.
"So this is his nest."
"We eat big bluefish."
“You still throw garbage.”
Ye Qing waited for a while and felt that the crocodile had fallen asleep, then he withdrew his sensing ability.
Although it is not certain when the crocodile will return to the surface to breathe, it doesn't matter anymore. He is not going to catch the crocodile. He is going to use fishing as a method, and the clues he has currently are enough.
He said, "Old Deng, let's go back."
Old Deng was stunned and asked, "Are you going back now?"
Ye Qing nodded: "I'm sleepy."
"Regain your energy and go alligator fishing tomorrow."
"Just wait and see."
Old Deng was secretly puzzled by what he heard, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Back to shore.
Xixi helped to prepare the clothes and provided excellent service.
Ye Qing expressed his gratitude, took a shower, and refused Xixi's further service.
…
Early the next morning.
Ye Qing got up as usual. No one else got up yet. Seeing that the air in the mountains was fresh, he washed up quickly and went out directly, intending to take a run.
Half an hour later, when he came back, he found a pickup truck parked on the riverbank.
Old Deng was anxiously talking to two men in suits standing next to a pickup truck. When Ye Qing approached, Old Deng pointed at him and shouted, "Handsome boy, you're back."
"He said he would help me catch the crocodile today."
Ye Qing looked at the two men in suits.
The men in suits said in unison, "Hello, we're here to assess the reservoir's pumping work. Old Deng said he wanted to help you catch alligators, right?"
Ye Qing nodded: "Hello."
"That's right."
"In fact, it's such a large reservoir. If you pump water to catch crocodiles, not to mention the huge losses, it's hard to say whether you can complete it."
The two staff members looked at each other and nodded in unison.
indeed.
Pumping water from such a large reservoir is a huge workload. Given how cunning this crocodile is, if it runs away early, all their efforts will be in vain.
They looked at the young man in front of them, whose handsomeness was difficult to describe, and then they heard words that left a deep impression on them.
"I'll fish the crocodile out. It's the simplest and most effective way."
"You don't object?"
The older staff member laughed and said, "I don't object, but this method sounds even less reliable than pumping water."
"Young man, you look so delicate and tender, you must be a newbie, right?"
"To be honest, I'm also a fisherman."
Ye Qing said, "I see, but you're definitely not as good at fishing as I am."
The staff member's smile froze, thinking that this young man was so arrogant.
Lao Deng shouted, "He's really amazing."
"Give us a little more time. If we haven't caught any crocodiles by lunchtime, you can pump the water if you want."
The two staff members looked at each other and said, "Okay."
"You guys fish your own way."
“Let’s do the assessment work first.”
“Everyone doesn’t interfere with each other.”
They still didn't believe that the crocodile could be caught, so if Ye Qing failed to catch it, their work would not be delayed.
Old Deng looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing nodded, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry."
"After breakfast, go fishing."
"It won't take until noon to catch them."
Old Deng nodded, and now he could only place his hopes on Ye Qing.
When the two staff members heard this, they couldn't help but look at Ye Qing a few more times, sneering in their hearts, thinking that young people nowadays are really arrogant.
You said to catch it, catch it?
Younger staff members might enjoy reading novels and think, "This guy thinks his words are just the law."
He smiled and asked, "Dude, where do you get your confidence from?"
Ye Qing said: "I'm lucky."
The staff member was stunned and didn't know how to complain because there were too many things to complain about.
Ye Qing walked away, took a shower, and changed into clean and refreshing clothes. Xixi had already prepared breakfast for him.
Xiaolongbao with tofu pudding.
The temperature is just right for eating.
Let’s be honest.
This kind of life is indeed very enjoyable. Xixi is so thoughtful, it is hard to say that he will not be corrupted.
After breakfast, the group headed straight to the fishing platform.
Wear a life jacket.
He sailed alone to the crocodile's den.
Under the induction, nothing can escape.
The crocodile is still there.
For some reason, he felt that the crocodile in front of him seemed to be bigger than the one he sensed yesterday.
He didn't take it seriously.
Just think of it as a deviation in sensing ability.
Kangzi's voice came through the intercom, asking, "Qingzi, how are you going to fish?"
Ye Qing said, "Use big fish to fish."
"Since the crocodile ran here and hid, it means there is something here that attracts him."
“Food is the most important thing for the people.”
"I suppose it's the same with alligators."
"I'll catch a big fish first."
Everyone listening wanted to complain, but after thinking about it for a moment, they realized, wow, it seemed to make some sense.
The young staff member said: "Big fish can be caught just by wanting to. It's really funny."
As soon as the words fell.
Ye Qing raised his rod and stabbed the fish.
We caught a fish.
Not long after, it was pulled up, and it turned out to be a big blue carp weighing about ten pounds.
The young staff was dumbfounded.
Damn!
So fast?
This guy is kind of amazing.
Could he really catch the crocodile?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Ye Qing grabbed the fish and put it on with an extra-large fishhook.
The big black carp was full of vitality and struggled very vigorously. After being thrown back into the water, it immediately rushed to the bottom of the water with the fishing line.
The reel pays out line like crazy.
Ye Qing activated his sensing ability and could see the big black carp swimming towards the crocodile's nest. He controlled the reel and release of the fishing line, letting the big black carp swim back and forth in front of the crocodile.
The crocodile's eyes were already fixed on the big bluefish in front of it.
It likes to eat big bluefish.
For him, the injured big bluefish is like a human being facing a plate of delicious braised fish; it is hard not to be moved.
As for why the big bluefish was injured.
As a crocodile, it has some intelligence, but not much, and it doesn't have time to think so much.
