Chapter 14 New Fishing Rod, New Fishing Spot (Two in One)
After looking at the silk thread for a while, a faint red light emerged.
[Snow Silk: The silk thread spun by the magical insect snow silkworm is extremely tough. ]
[It is hard to be invaded by water or fire, and hard to be damaged by swords. It seems to be a good treasure. 】
[The main material for making snow silk clothes. ]
…
When Lu Qing used his special powers to find out the information about the silk thread sent by Doctor Chen, he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face.
This mysterious silk thread is actually a red light level item.
After awakening his supernatural powers for so long, Lu Qing already knows that under the detection of his supernatural powers, the light revealed by an object often represents its preciousness.
The objects he had detected so far had three types of light: gray, white, and red.
Among them, the red light was something he had only seen on Doctor Chen before.
The information discovered by the supernatural power showed that the old doctor was a cultivator who was hiding his true abilities.
Now, he actually discovered another red light object.
And this item was also given by the old doctor.
“I didn’t expect this to be a red treasure.”
Lu Qing had thought that this silk thread was not an ordinary item, but he did not expect it to be so precious.
For something to be considered a treasure by his supernatural powers, it must be extraordinary.
Look at what the information notes say.
It is not invaded by water or fire, and it is not harmed by swords or knives!
What kind of silk thread could have such properties? If not a treasure, what is it?
"I don't know if Doctor Chen knows that this thread is so magical."
Lu Qing felt a little complicated.
In just a few days, he and Xiaoyan received many favors from Doctor Chen.
Now even such precious silk thread was given to him.
This really made him feel both moved and ashamed.
After all, he knew that his purpose of approaching Dr. Chen was not so pure.
"It seems that I can only seriously catch some good things and give them to Grandpa Chen."
Lu Qing really wanted to repay Doctor Chen's kindness.
But the family is so poor now that they can’t even afford anything decent.
Moreover, from the old doctor's perspective, things worth money may not necessarily be of interest to him.
After all, he even gave away treasures like snow silk.
The only thing Lu Qing could do was to start with his hobbies.
From what I heard from the old doctor before, he seemed to be quite fond of fish.
It just so happens that fishing is what Lu Qing is best at.
"It seems that you are destined to be my fishing line."
Lu Qing picked up the small bundle of snow silk and felt a soft and cool feeling in his hand.
The thickness of the silk thread was similar to the river fishing lines he had used in his previous life. He didn't know what kind of magical creature the snow silkworm was that could spit out such thick silk.
This bundle of snow silk may not look like much, but Lu Qing took a closer look and found that if it were to be fully unfolded, it would probably be a hundred meters long.
Obviously, so much silk is not needed to make fishing line.
Lu Qing took out a hatchet from the kitchen and prepared to cut a piece of silk to make fishing line.
However, when he placed the silk on the wood block and cut it with a knife, the silk followed the blade and sank deep into the wood without being damaged at all.
At this time, Lu Qing remembered the description of silk in the supernatural power.
It is hard for water and fire to penetrate it, and it is hard for swords and knives to cut it.
He originally thought that this might be a figure of speech to describe the toughness of silk.
Unexpectedly, this is actually the literal meaning.
At least, as it stands now, it is impossible to cut the snow silk easily with the not-so-sharp hatchet at home.
This time, Lu Qing was no longer in a hurry.
In order to verify whether snow silk is really resistant to water and fire, he found a fire starter from the kitchen, lit it, and then placed a small piece of the front of the silk on it to calcine it.
As a result, the snow silk did not break directly, but persisted for a full five minutes before it was burned through.
"It seems that water and fire are hard to invade. It really is just hard to invade, not impossible to invade."
Lu Qing looked at the small piece of silk that fell on the ground, thoughtfully.
Of course, being able to stay on the fire for five minutes is already impressive enough.
After all, this is silk, not iron wire.
However, the fact that snow silk can be burned is good news for Lu Qing.
If even fire can't do anything to it, and such a long silk cannot be cut, he will make it into a casting rod.
But the production of a casting rod is much more complicated than a hand rod.
Moreover, he had made casting rods in the past and purchased many of the parts directly, but he had never tried to make everything from scratch.
Under the current conditions, it is not realistic for him to make a good casting rod.
Fortunately, snow silk can now be cut by fire, which saves a lot of trouble.
Next, Lu Qing began to devote himself to the making of the fishing rod.
The first step is to choose a bamboo pole.
Lu Qing took a hatchet and spent a whole day picking bamboos in the bamboo forest behind the village. He finally found a few small old bamboos and chopped them down to take home.
After the bamboo poles are selected, they need to be trimmed and roasted, and treated with insect-proof methods, etc.
These also take a lot of time.
However, Lu Qing couldn't wait that long, so he picked out an old bamboo, roasted it a little, and used it directly to make a fishing rod.
The remaining few bamboos are kept and prepared for careful roasting.
After choosing the bamboo pole, the rest is easy.
Without much effort, Lu Qing made the new fishing rod.
"Dangdang! Xiaoyan, look, what do you think of my new fishing rod? Does it look good?"
That morning, Lu Qing put the newly made fishing rod on his shoulder and asked Xiaoyan.
"nice!"
The cute and well-behaved Xiaoyan immediately turned into a flatterer and nodded continuously.
“I think it looks good too!”
Lu Qing swung the fishing rod with a proud look on his face.
Although it was made in a hurry, the quality of this new fishing rod is not bad.
Because at this moment, in Lu Qing's eyes, the new fishing rod was emitting a strong white light.
[Snow silk fishing rod: a fishing rod made with snow silk as the fishing line. ]
[The fishing line is strong and the rod is stable. It can withstand a tensile force of 100 kilograms without breaking. With this fishing rod, you may be able to catch a big fish.]
When Lu Qing first saw the two notes, he was shocked.
The new fishing rod he made can actually withstand a pulling force of over 100 kilograms.
Snow silk is a treasure. Although it is amazing that it can withstand a force of 100 kilograms, it is still acceptable.
But he was really surprised that the old bamboo growing randomly on the hill behind the village was so tough.
I can only say that this is indeed a different world. Not only can it produce such a rare thing as snow silk, but even the bamboo that grows here is so outstanding.
If his old fishing friends from his previous life knew about this, their eyes would probably light up with anger.
"Brother, the fishing rod is ready. Should we go fishing?" Xiaoyan asked.
"Go, of course!"
With the new fishing rod in hand, Lu Qing looked very proud.
It took him two days to make this fishing rod.
The fish at home has been almost eaten in the past two days.
More importantly, in another day, it would be time for the acupuncture treatment agreed upon with Dr. Chen.
This time when he goes to the old doctor's house, he can't go empty-handed.
"Great! We can go fishing again!" Xiaoyan was immediately happy when she heard it, "Brother, I'll help you dig earthworms."
Having said that, he ran outside.
Lu Qing shook his head.
The little girl didn't know what was going on. Most children, especially girls, would be more or less afraid of earthworms.
But she was not afraid at all. Instead, she helped him catch earthworms. She was much braver than an ordinary little girl.
"I don't know if Xiaoyan will become a lady as she wishes in the future. Or will she become a tomboy?" A trace of sadness flashed through Lu Qing's heart for no reason.
Although there is nothing wrong with being a tomboy, if possible, he still hopes that his sister can be a gentle and virtuous girl.
Shaking his head to put this still distant thing out of his mind, Lu Qing walked out with the fishing rod.
When he got outside the yard, Xiaoyan was already waiting for him with a bamboo tube filled with earthworms.
"Brother, hurry up!" Xiaoyan urged.
"Here I come."
Lu Qing picked up the shovel outside the house and walked over.
After digging up the earthworms, Lu Qing took out a small cloth bag from home and put it in his pocket.
"Brother, what is this?" the little guy asked curiously.
"This is a secret weapon. Whether we can catch big fish today depends entirely on it." Lu Qing said mysteriously.
"Big fish!" The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up.
She didn’t know how big the big fish Lu Qing was talking about was, but it sounded very powerful!
After assembling the secret weapon, Lu Qing found the wooden barrel that had held the fish a few days ago, picked up the new fishing rod, and headed forward.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Let's go!" the little guy also shouted in a tender voice.
…
Not long after, the brother and sister arrived at the entrance of the village.
The little guy was holding a bamboo tube containing earthworms and jumping in front.
He kept muttering: "Big fish, big fish, big fish..."
Some villagers passing by couldn't help laughing when they saw her like this.
"Xiaoyan, where are you and your brother going?"
"It's Uncle Zhao. My brother and I are going to the river to fish. We want to catch big fish!" the little guy replied politely.
"Oh, big fish, fish, how do you know you can catch a big fish?" Uncle Zhao teased her.
"Of course I know, because my brother said so. He is the best at fishing!" the little guy looked proud.
"Haha, yes, yes, your brother is the best."
Seeing her proud little look, Uncle Zhao became even happier and agreed with her.
"Children speak without restraint. Please don't be offended, Uncle Zhao." Lu Qing said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay. Xiaoyan is so cute like this. When you were sick a few days ago, she cried like that, it was so heartbreaking." Uncle Zhao said happily.
"However, you can go fishing, but you must keep an eye on Xiaoyan and don't let her play in the water."
"I understand." Lu Qing answered seriously.
"Xiaoyan, did you hear me? You have to listen to your brother. When you get to the river, don't secretly play in the water." Uncle Zhao reminded Xiaoyan again.
"I know." The little guy answered obediently, "I'm very good."
"Yes, Xiaoyan is the best."
Uncle Zhao rubbed her hair, his tone somewhat sad.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Zhao, the brother and sister continued on their way to the river.
However, when they reached the river, they were both dumbfounded.
Because they found that the place where Lu Qing went fishing last time had already been occupied by someone.
It wasn't just one or two people, but seven or eight, all squeezed into a small space.
Moreover, the brother and sister know each other and are all villagers in the village.
"Lu Qing, you're here to fish too, why don't you come over and join us?"
Some villagers saw Lu Qing and his sister and greeted them.
"Well, we've finished eating all the fish at home, so I wanted to come over and fish some." Lu Qing said with a smile.
Randomly and curiously asked, "Why are you all crowded together to fish? Aren't you afraid of accidentally getting your fishing lines tangled?"
"Stop talking. We don't want to either." The villager looked bitter. "It's too hard to catch fish in other places. You have to wait for a long time before you can catch one. Only in this place is it easier to catch fish. By the way, I heard from Hu Zi and the others that this is the place you fished last time?"
Because it's easier to catch fish, so you guys crowd together?
Lu Qing was speechless.
But he nodded: "Yes, I fished here last time."
"You are really good!" The villager gave a thumbs up. "You picked a good spot. We caught the most fish in the past two days. But I don't know what happened today. The fish didn't bite as much."
Of course not!
With so many of you crowding into one place to fish, all the fish will be caught.
Even if not all the fish are caught, the remaining ones will probably become frightened birds.
Lu Qing shook his head.
I'm afraid this fishing spot is going to be abandoned.
At least for a long time, it will be difficult to return to its original state.
"You guys keep fishing. I'll try my luck somewhere else."
After Lu Qing was speechless, he pulled Xiaoyan and walked in another direction.
The villagers did not try to persuade them to stay, but instead felt relieved.
It's already crowded enough here. If one more person comes, there really won't be enough room.
As for Lu Qing's suggestion of trying his luck elsewhere, they didn't care.
They have fished in other sections of the river in the past few days, but the results were not good.
After fishing for a while, I found that this is the easiest place to catch fish.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many of them crowded here.
After leaving the small fish fishing spot, Lu Qing took Xiaoyan and walked forward.
Although the villagers' actions left him speechless, he couldn't say anything.
After all, the river belongs to everyone, and everyone has the right to fish here.
It doesn't mean that once someone fishes at a certain spot, that spot belongs to him.
Therefore, Lu Qing didn't think it was a big deal that the villagers occupied the small fish fishing spots.
Anyway, he has supernatural powers, and since the fishing spot is occupied, he can just find another one.
The river is so long, and I don’t know how many fishing spots there are. I’m afraid there will be no place to fish.
Thinking this in his mind, Lu Qing kept walking forward with Xiaoyan.
He didn't even go to the other two fishing spots he discovered last time.
Because those two fishing spots are also within the sight of other villagers.
What if he catches a fish and everyone rushes to the fishing spot to take a chance? What should he do then?
So just go farther away and fish where no one can see you, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Anyway, he was well prepared this time. He not only brought a fishing rod and a bucket, but also brought a hatchet from home so that he could set up a fishing spot at any time.
Lu Qing took Xiaoyan and walked slowly along the river, using his special powers to search the river surface.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
