Chapter 52 Fishing
Two days later, Deng Minghao and his friends didn't even play cards anymore. They were so bored that they didn't know who suggested going fishing.
Deng Minghao came back at noon and immediately started fiddling with his fishing rod. Li Ruolan looked at the weather outside. Although it hadn't snowed in the past two days, the breeze was blowing quite strongly.
Just one look at it makes my head hurt from the cold. In such weather, Deng Minghao still wants to take people fishing. Li Ruolan really respects him as a man.
"Be careful when fishing in the river, don't fall into it." Li Ruolan reminded Deng Minghao worriedly.
It's icy and snowy now. If you want to go fishing, you must break the ice and then put the fish hook through the hole in the ice to fish.
Although the ice in the Northeast becomes very solid in winter, there are still dangers.
Deng Minghao didn't even raise his head, fiddling with his precious fishing rods: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After dinner, Deng Minghao couldn't wait to take Shen Yiji, Hongjun, and Liu Kunming to the frozen river surface.
Just breaking the ice, the four of them hammered back and forth for more than half an hour before they finally made four ice holes, which were almost the size of basketballs. They were so tired that they were sweating.
It was icy and snowy, so the four of them naturally couldn't find earthworms as bait, so Deng Minghao took two cooked corns and used them as bait.
"Can corn be used as bait?" Seeing Deng Minghao's operation, Shen Yi and the other two were stunned. They didn't expect that corn could be used as bait.
Deng Minghao smiled mysteriously: "Of course, and many fish like to eat corn. You will know if you try it."
Shen Yi and the others looked at each other with some suspicion in their eyes, but they still listened to Deng Minghao and started putting corn kernels on the fishhook.
I don’t know if the fish under the ice were too hungry or if the corn was really effective, but not long after, Liu Kunming’s fishing float began to move.
He tried to pull it up, but it felt very heavy, apparently a big one. Deng Minghao came to help and finally pulled the fish up.
It was a big carp, weighing about three or four pounds. We caught it and put it on the ice. Then we pulled a reed through the fish's gills and tied its mouth. We put it on the ice and it froze into an ice block in a short while.
"How about it? Are you convinced?" Deng Minghao asked with a smile, looking at the big carp on the ice.
Ji Hongjun gave Deng Minghao a thumbs up. The reason why Shen Yi ignored Deng Minghao was that his float also moved and a fish was hooked.
Li Ruolan was quite bored at home, so after staying for a while, she went next door to talk to Qin Wan, who was making medicine for Lu Yunxiao at home.
"Does this medicine work?" Li Ruolan asked with concern as she looked at the black medicine that exuded a bitter smell.
Lu Yunxiao moved the injured leg under the quilt: "When I first came back, I didn't feel any pain at all. Now, after taking medicine for a few days and applying plasters every day, I can move it now."
Seeing his legs getting better day by day, Lu Yunxiao was so happy that he almost cried. No one wants to be a cripple.
"I didn't expect your medical skills are so good. It seems that his leg will be healed soon." Li Ruolan praised Qin Wan.
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Why did you come here alone? Isn't Deng Minghao here?"
Li Ruolan told Qin Wan about Deng Minghao and the other three going fishing.
"Can we really catch fish in such a cold day? Let's go and see." Qin Wan immediately became interested. The winter in Northeast China is really boring. She just stays at home every day. She will freeze to death if she goes out.
Now that there was finally something fun, Qin Wan immediately wanted to go and take a look. She asked Lu Yunxiao to look after the house, and Qin Wan pulled Li Ruolan over.
When they arrived, there were two or three big fish at the feet of each of the four people, mostly carp and silver carp. There were some crucian carp, but they were only the size of an adult's palm.
"You caught so many?" Not to mention Qin Wan, even Li Ruolan felt quite surprised.
When Deng Minghao saw Qin Wan coming, he immediately kicked the three fish at his feet over to him and said, "I was just thinking of sending the fish to you. When you come, just take the fish back.
Make some soup for Lu Yunxiao to nourish his body, and I think his leg will heal faster."
This is the biggest characteristic of fishermen. They only like fishing. If they want to eat fish, it depends on the situation. They are also very generous and are happy to share what they catch.
In short, Li Ruolan has never lacked fish to eat since she married Deng Minghao. Even if Deng Minghao doesn't have time to go fishing, as long as Li Ruolan wants to eat, he can go out for a walk and bring back a lot.
All of them were gifts from my acquaintances, fishermen.
Qin Wan was not polite at all. After looking around for a while in the snow and ice, she picked up four fish and left.
Feeling that he had fished enough, Deng Minghao put away his fishing rod and prepared to go home. Liu Kunming was already too cold to bear it and immediately wanted to follow Deng Minghao.
Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun will have to stay here and fish for a while.
After returning home, Deng Minghao began to process the fish, but Li Ruolan felt a little strange.
"Chen Yi and Ji Hongjun also caught a lot of fish today, why haven't they come back yet? Don't they feel cold? It seems that they are more addicted than you." Li Ruolan muttered.
Deng Minghao turned around to look at his wife and said with a smile, "They have something to do, so they have to separate from us."
Li Ruolan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she moved closer to Deng Minghao: "What's going on? Did you find anything?"
“There’s something strange about Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun. Liu Kunming told me that they sometimes go out in the middle of the night.
I think they may have some relationship with those people in the bullpen, either they are their relatives or the targets of their mission.”
Li Ruolan knew what was going on without Deng Minghao explaining it so clearly: "You mean, maybe the two of them didn't retire?"
Deng Minghao shook his head: "I don't know, but now there are only two reasons. One is that the two of them have indeed retired from the army, and the reason for their retirement is probably because they were implicated by their families.
In this case, the people in the cowshed are most likely their relatives, and they went to the countryside to take close care of these people.
There is another reason, which is that they were sent here to protect people. This is a secret mission.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, Shen Yi and Ji Hong are both good soldiers, so we will help if we can.
After hearing from Liu Kunming that the two of them seemed a little impatient these past two days, I went around the village and heard from the team leader that many of the people in the cowshed were sick.
I guessed that Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun must be worried about this, so I took them fishing, hoping that they would get better faster after drinking some hot fish soup and eating some meat. "
The people in the cowshed are sick, one because of the cold, and the other because of long-term malnutrition. I hope these fish can help them.
