Chapter 222 Casting a Net to Catch Fish (2/2)



Furthermore, it would be a great waste to throw them away, so they simply hung them all up in the store. As for whether they would be sold, that was up to fate.

Jiang An scanned the various fishing tools on the trading channel. As long as she found one that she thought was suitable, she would place an order without hesitation, completely disregarding whether these tools could actually be used.

After all, for her, those few transaction points were nothing at all.

After some selection, she finally bought a total of 5 large fishing nets, 10 fish traps, and 5 boxes of bait.

To be honest, she didn't have high expectations for the actual gains from this purchase; she just hoped that she wouldn't end up empty-handed.

Then, Jiang An clicked the take-out button with practiced ease, and in an instant, a large pile of items suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him.

Just then, the little turtle, whose attention was drawn to this sudden turn of events, blinked his big, curious eyes and ran quickly to the items. He looked up at Jiang An and asked in his childish voice, "Mommy, what are all these things? And what are they used for?"

"These are all fishing tools. With them, maybe we won't have to go down into the river to catch fish ourselves anymore!"

As Jiang An got up to check the things she had bought, she patiently explained.

"Very good!" She smiled with satisfaction and nodded gently.

The river Jiang An encountered was somewhat special—it wasn't the clear water one usually sees, but rather a rushing torrent of countless pebbles.

These grains of sand varied in size; some were like fine, soft sand, so fine that a gentle breeze could stir up a cloud of dust; others resembled small, exquisite pebbles.

Because the main component of rivers is sand and gravel rather than water, there are special requirements for the tools needed to catch fish.

The gaps in the fish trap must be wide enough; otherwise, over time, a large amount of sand will gradually accumulate inside the trap, thus affecting the fishing results.

In contrast, fishing nets have much larger holes, so there is no need to worry about sand accumulating.

Jiang An gently opened the container of fish bait, and instantly, a rich aroma wafted out.

The aroma was incredibly enticing, making one's mouth water, and she had no idea what this mysterious bait was made of.

At this moment, her only hope was that the unique aroma would attract the fish inside to take the bait.

"Little turtle, come and help with the work! Sprinkle these baits evenly on top!" Jiang An turned to look at the little turtle beside him, who was already eager to try, and a helpless smile appeared in his eyes.

The little turtle was excitedly waving its short limbs, eager to show off its skills.

In fact, as soon as Jiang An put the bait into the trap, the curious little turtle couldn't contain its excitement and was eager to join in.

Since Jiang An didn't call it, the sensible and obedient little turtle could only stay quietly to the side, watching anxiously.

Now that the moment of being summoned has finally arrived, the little turtle is naturally overjoyed.

"Okay!" Almost the instant Jiang An finished speaking, he heard the little turtle's excited response.

Immediately afterwards, the little turtle quickly moved its four limbs and happily crawled towards Jiang An's position, looking exactly like a brave warrior about to step onto the battlefield and fight the enemy.

Before long, the man and the turtle worked together to evenly scatter the entire box of bait in the designated area.

With a flourish of his hand, Jiang An made the pile of things on the ground disappear.

"Let's go, little turtle, it's our turn to set up the fishing nets and traps!" Jiang An shouted excitedly.

At this moment, night has fallen, and the sky is like a huge black curtain covering the earth.

Despite the scorching sun throughout the day, the temperature remained stubbornly high, making it unbearably hot and humid.

To combat the unbearable heat and humidity, Jiang An and the little turtle each hung a crystal-clear ice crystal around their necks.

The slight coolness emanating from the ice crystal finally made them feel a little more comfortable.

According to the plan, a fishing net should be placed every 100 meters, while a fish trap should be placed every 50 meters.

Although this task seems simple, it is not easy to carry out in practice.

Fortunately, Jiang An and Little Turtle were both full of energy and worked tirelessly.

Time passed slowly, and with their persistent efforts, all the fishing nets and traps were finally in place.

"Haha, mission accomplished!" Jiang An happily patted the sand off the back of his hand, muttering to himself.

The little turtle, who had been unable to bear the sweltering heat any longer, urged impatiently, "Mommy, we've finished all our work, let's go home quickly, it's just too hot outside!"

For turtles that naturally love water, such a hot and stuffy environment is simply torture.

"Little turtle, you go back first. I still need to go get some water for the iron-patterned ox." Jiang An looked at the cowshed not far away and gently instructed the little turtle.

"Coo~coo~" Hearing Jiang An's instructions, the little turtle nodded obediently, then quickly turned around, took off with its four small and exquisite claws, and ran towards the safe house at an amazing speed.

In the blink of an eye, the little turtle disappeared into the night.

Jiang An didn't delay. He strode to the cowshed, filled it with water and feed for the cow and calf, and then left.

The first thing she did upon returning to the safe house was to go to the bathroom and take a shower.
