Chapter 141 Luck Blessing
People on the bank ran along the riverbank, shouting towards Li Datou in the river.
Whether Li Datou heard it or not, he suddenly lunged forward and grabbed the fish head.
People on the shore gasped in surprise.
Gu Hua was so nervous that she grabbed Gu Yin's arm tightly.
When Li Datou floated to the surface, the people on the shore finally breathed a sigh of relief. But by then, Li Datou had already been swept away from the section of the river belonging to Li Family Village and was flowing downstream towards the village.
The people on the riverbank didn't give up either, and continued to follow him along the river with bamboo poles.
The section of the river below was originally very narrow, with fields on both sides. However, because it was close to the river and had many stones, many people did not cultivate the land. It would be a waste to leave it uncultivated, so they planted trees all over it.
The river has swelled, flooding all the surrounding fields, but the water level has slowed down considerably because of the trees.
Li Datou eventually managed to grab onto a tree, and was then pulled up by people on the shore.
Everyone ran over to see, and Gu Yin and Gu Hua followed.
When they arrived, Li Datou was lying on the ground, panting, with a huge fish head next to him!
Yes, it was a fish head! The fish head they saw on the shore wasn't even a fish, it was a fish head! And it was a fish head without a brain, already rotten!
Everyone felt it was a pity.
"You jumped in without even seeing clearly! You've really lost out! If it had really been a fish, it wouldn't have been worth it! Look at this thing now! Tsk!"
Someone nearby couldn't bear it and said, "Never mind, I caught a few fish, here's some for you, hurry home and change your clothes!"
Li Datou's family was poor and he was lazy. He and his wife relied entirely on his wife's younger sister for support. The younger sister was well-married and would occasionally give them money or send them things. They only had one son, and the money for the boy's schooling was all given by his younger sister. Otherwise, Li Datou would not have sent his child to school.
Li Datou listened to the man's words and did not refuse. He took a few and went back.
The people around dispersed, and Gu Yin and Gu Hua prepared to go home. When they returned to the bridge, they saw Gu Qinglang and Gu Qingming wearing raincoats and carrying two batteries, walking towards them.
As the two approached, Gu Yin asked in surprise, "Didn't you go to the city today?"
Gu Qinglang tapped her head: "Are you still half asleep? The road to town is flooded, how are we going to get there?"
Gu Yin suddenly realized that she had indeed forgotten.
Seeing their equipment, Gu Yin disagreed, saying, "The water is too strong; it's not good for fishing. You might fall in if you're not careful. Let's wait until the water recedes a bit."
Gu Qingming held up the net in his hand: "We'll just find a safe place with calm water. We won't go into the water, don't worry!"
Seeing this, Gu Yin was no longer in a hurry to go back, and she and Gu Hua followed behind the two of them, walking upstream.
The group arrived at a field overgrown with grass. The field was half-flooded. Gu Qinglang and Gu Qingming knew the size of the fields in the village very well. They told the two to stay in the dry area while they walked forward a bit. They reached a spot where the water had stopped at knee level. That area was still in the field, and the current was not so strong, making it safer.
Because they were in the water, the battery wasn't on. The two of them spent a long time fishing with a net, but only caught a small fish weighing less than half an ounce. They caught nothing else.
Gu Yin and Gu Hua were also watching from the side, glancing at the water from time to time, but there was no sign of any fish or shrimp.
"Should we just replace the battery?" Gu Qingming sighed.
Gu Qinglang had the same idea. The group left the water, took the battery and tried to operate it, but still nothing came out.
"The current is too strong. Small fish probably can't stay here, and big fish won't come this way either. It seems they've made a wasted trip."
Gu Qinglang gave up and squatted down to remove the battery.
People on the bridge kept exclaiming in surprise, as if they had caught a fish. Gu Qingming looked up into the distance and saw that someone had indeed caught one.
He stood up: "I refuse to believe there aren't any!" Then he continued to take the fishing net and go to fish.
Gu Yin thought for a moment and called out 001.
"001, put my two unused points into the Luck attribute."
There were no midterm exams in the second semester of the third year of junior high, so her points didn't increase. She only had the two points she had saved up. Now that it should be the marking period, she's adding points to her luck stat, largely because she hopes there won't be any mistakes in this high school entrance exam. She's taking advantage of this opportunity to add them now.
Upon hearing this, 001 added the points to her account.
Bound object: Gu Yin
Stamina: 80, very strong! (Enough to defeat an adult male!)
Intelligence: 75, some aptitude (beginner level)
Beautiful, 60, a pretty young woman (delicate and pretty!).
Luck: 64, Normal (You're quite lucky!)
Although the luck value is still quite low, according to 001's explanation, this luck is considered relatively good compared to the standards of their world.
Gu Yin looked at the river and suddenly had a whimsical thought: "001, do you think if my luck value reaches 100, and I put my hand in the river, will all the fish jump into my arms? When I go up the mountain, will the wild rabbits and the like pretend to be unconscious in front of me and wait for me to catch them?" Wasn't the female lead in the web drama she filmed in her previous life just like that?
001 nodded: "Pretty much, but you don't need those things, what's the point of thinking about them? Think bigger!"
Gu Yin blinked: "Your master is my disciple?! Immortal, daughter of the Heavenly Dao!"
001 was speechless for a moment: "...Isn't your perspective a bit too grand?"
Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh when she saw that it was almost rolling its eyes.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Hua asked, puzzled, as she was looking at the river.
Gu Yin snapped out of her reverie and shook her head: "It's nothing, I just couldn't help laughing when I saw my dad and uncle like that."
Gu Hua sighed, then whispered, "Indeed, after all that work, we only got one small fish. Grandma will definitely laugh us to death when we get back!"
Gu Yin nodded; they would indeed laugh at them.
Seeing that the two were still struggling, Gu Yin moved up a bit, hoping to see a sign or two and help the two strong-willed middle-aged men!
"Ayin! Have you seen any fish?" Li Xiaohua is in the second year of junior high school and hasn't started her holiday yet. She will have her exams next week before the holiday starts. She just got out of school and saw Gu Yin and the others from afar. She got out of her car and ran over.
Gu Yin pointed to the fish basket: "Look, there's just that one."
"Oh, I thought there would be a lot! On my way home from school, I saw many people riding motorcycles out of the reservoir, each with a lot of fish hanging from the front of their motorcycles! I heard there were so many fish that some people's nets couldn't hold up and were washed away! Our river is a tributary of the reservoir, I thought there would be a lot of fish, what a pity!"
Who can argue with that? That's what everyone thinks.
Gu Yin's legs went numb from squatting for so long. She got up and was about to go ashore when she saw what looked like fish jumping around in the thing that was rushing down with tree branches in front of her!
She took a few steps forward, looked carefully, and shouted, "Dad! It looks like a fishing net is being swept away! It seems to be full of fish! Be careful not to get swept away!"
"What! A fishing net?! It's full of fish!" Upon hearing Gu Yin's words, Gu Qingming and Gu Qinglang put down their fishing rods and ran a few steps uphill. After confirming that it was indeed a fishing net, the two ran back to their original spot and waited for the net to come over. They hurriedly grabbed the branches that were tangled with the net and slowly carried it with the current to the diving area.
Gu Yin, Gu Hua, and Li Xiaohua were already waiting there. Once the two of them came up a little, everyone worked together to pull the fishing net up!
Everyone was stunned to see the fishing nets covered with white fish.
