Da Long understood, then shouted, "Yes, you dare take the boat away, Damn it, you're going to be eating in jail. This is robbery. Absolute robbery!"
Lu Wuyai was even more furious. He sneered, quickly circled the lake in his small boat, and then said to Wang Dongliang, "I'm not like your father, who's a boar. I don't have that many breeds. I'm not flying home; I'm flying over your head."
"Come on, Brother Liang, watch me do a flying dunk. Go on."
The yacht's external engine roared, whipping up huge waves that rushed toward Wang Dongliang.
Wang Dongliang's face changed drastically, and he screamed, "Woli, how dare you do this! Help!"
The open-shouldered boat is like a galloping horse on the water, with a unique posture on the crisscrossing lake surface.
For a time, it crossed the water directly; for a time, it followed an S-shaped curve across the water; for a time, it followed a B-shaped curve; and for a time, it first followed an S-shape and then a B-shaped curve.
No matter how you sail, the boat will pass by Wang Dongliang and the young Da Long.
"Draft, Lu Wuyai, how dare you! Bang bang bang."
"I'm going to fight you, your shit is all over... Daddy, Daddy..."
"Try me again, damn it! Help! Help! Slap me!"
"Brother Liang, please shut up. Brother He Riyang, I didn't do anything, this has nothing to do with me."
The small boat kept changing direction, constantly splashing water against them. Wang Dongliang received preferential treatment first. Whenever he looked up, the yacht would rush towards him.
People from the coconut grove village on the lake and other nearby local villages rowed small boats to watch the spectacle, laughing as they watched.
"Who's in the lake? What are you doing?"
"I have no idea what the son of the island lord of Wangjia Village is doing."
“I know, it’s a fighting ship, you know Dutch bullfighting. There’s a reason for that, it’s a water bullfighting ship, also known as a fighting ship.”
"Oh, this young master deliberately provoked the ship to crash into him. Wow, I'm really good at this."
"Pretty good, but this boat can't hit him. You can see him swimming around. He's like a fish in water..."
"I am like a fish in your lotus pond, just waiting with you for the bright moonlight. Swimming through the seasons, the lotus flowers are still fragrant, waiting for you in the middle of the water."
Lu Wuyai stood on the sampan, singing loudly.
Wang Dongliang was furious, but he could only swallow his anger. Lu Wuyai needed to take the initiative now; a wise man knows when to yield. If he persisted, he would be the one to suffer.
Even though he kept quiet, Lu Wuyai continued to torment him, and the yacht continued to accelerate and glide wildly.
After doing this for a while, the gasoline in the tank ran out, and the yacht couldn't move anymore. Only then did Gu Yuxin let Wang Dongliang and the other man go, and she jumped off the boat and swam towards the small sampan.
Exhausted, Wang Dongliang and Dalong struggled to climb onto the boat, then lay down like two dead dogs, eyes rolled back, panting heavily: "Did you provoke him?"
"Brother Liang, that's enough. Stop cursing. What will happen when he gets back? He'll dare to kill him."
Gu Yuxin boarded the small sampan and carefully observed the yacht. He hoped Wang Dongliang would continue to provoke him, so he would have a reason to play with him.
Unfortunately, there was no cursing on the boat; the yacht floated alone in the middle of the lake, looking rather pitiful.
After waiting for a while without any movement, he sighed and said, "Never mind, let's go fishing."
He found a relatively deep area, picked up a glass bottle, put bait in it, then covered the bottle with a plastic bag, cut a cross on the surface, and tied it with a rope.
The rope was very long, with one end tied to a glass bottle. Lu Wuyai put it into the bottom of the lake, and the other end tied to a small boat.
Similarly, he threw all the glass bottles to the bottom of the lake.
A boat came by to watch the spectacle. When the people on the boat saw Li Muyang put down the transparent jar, they guessed his purpose and asked, "Yangzi, are you fishing for rock climbing?"
Lu Wuyai smiled and said, "Yes, Fifth Uncle."
Hikraz is a common name.
One of their most prized species lives in the Dadu River region of Sichuan. Due to its extremely tender and succulent flesh, it commands a high price. When Lu Wuyai checked the purchase price at a hotel in Kyoto, the *Stone Hat* sent by Shuchuan cost two or three pounds per pound. Over a thousand.
Longxian Lake also has stone clams, similar to those in Sichuan, but not exactly the same. They are also bottom-dwelling fish, but prefer to live in deep water, generally in the deepest part of Longxian Lake.
In Lu Wuyai's view, the Shimaozi from his hometown tastes better, but the yield is low, the fishing is not large-scale, and the reputation cannot spread.
However, the overall yield of Scutellaria baicalensis, whether from Longyanxiang Lake or from the mountain streams of Sichuan, is relatively low, and its reputation is not very good. Most locals are familiar with this fish.
Lu Zhizi had never heard of this kind of fish before. After overhearing their conversation, she asked curiously, "You want to go fishing? How can you catch this kind of fish with a glass bottle? Like eels, do they like to crawl into bottles and jars?"
Lu Wuyai shook his head: "No, this fishing method is related to their living habits."
As their name suggests, rock reptiles live underwater and prefer to crawl on rocky beaches.
As their name suggests, they typically attach themselves to rocks using their flattened abdomens and thoraxes, crawling through the water in search of mayfly larvae, dragonfly larvae, stoneflies, caddisflies, and other aquatic insects. They hide on the seabed, along with earthworms, among others, in search of food.
Therefore, conventionally, rock worms cannot be caught with fishhooks. Instead, they are caught like shrimp or crabs by placing them in an open iron cage and then luring them in with food.
When Lu Wuyai and his group of children were young, they didn't have fish traps, so they made do with whatever they could find, such as glass bottles. They would put food in the bottles to lure Shi Chaozi, and they often had other catches as well.
This fishing method is unconventional, but it has a unique charm. Lu Wuyai does it to recapture some childlike fun.
After listening to Lü Zhizi's explanation, Uncle Wu shook his head and said, "Then you'll be disappointed, Yangzi. You'll never catch the ivy here again. There used to be lots of fish and shrimp, but now you can't even catch them in a cage." (The ivy was eaten by its mother's dog, Li Wang, in the local village.)
Someone nearby said, "This isn't about eating extinct species, it's about fishing for them. They catch them and then sell them in the Red Sea. They catch all the big ones and sell them together. It's such a waste."
After discussing for a while, the onlookers left one by one. As dusk approached, the fishermen all wanted to go home for dinner.
Lu Wuyai tossed the glass bottle around for a while, then fished it out several times. Aside from loaches, which also liked to burrow into the bottle, he didn't find a single stone crawler.
After thinking for a moment, he left Lu Wuyai to watch the fishing rod and jumped into the water by himself.
Rock reptiles are a rare type of fish, but they shouldn't be that rare.
Based on his experience, this type of fish prefers clear, deep water, so he plunged into the center of the lake and searched carefully there.
Floating on the lake, he looked down at the bottom but found nothing. Instead, he found some ropes and cages.
The rope that came into his view was floating straight down on the lake, with a rubber float attached to it and an iron cage tied below it.
There are many ropes floating on the lake, twisting with the waves like water snakes, numbering more than two hundred.
Similarly, each rope contains over 200 iron cages. They are numerous and have a peculiar structure. Perhaps they can escape.
This is the tiger-killing net cage, a type of net cage that is explicitly prohibited by the state in certain areas of islands, and it is also a tool that fishermen hate the most. Like tiger-killing nets, they are destructive to aquariums.
At this time, with so many cages with exorbitant prices scattered in the deepest part of the lake, its fishing target is very clear: it is obviously that large rock slab.
After finding the rope and the fish trap, Lu Wuyai sank down, his face grim.
As he approached the cages, he gradually discovered that they were not empty; there were still fish struggling inside.
These fish have dark brown backs, white bellies, flat bodies, particularly flat and large heads, relatively small tails, wide mouths, thick and large lips, four pairs of barbels, and no scales; they are stone crawlers.
The stone clapper was large, but the fox cage was tiny, so small that even small fish couldn't escape. No wonder the villagers said that stone clappers were becoming increasingly rare here; they were all for human use now. The cages had all been removed.
So, who arranged for these extreme home cages?
Lu Wuyai looked up at the lake, and the open bottom of the boat came into view. He thought about what the native residents had said earlier, and the answer was self-evident: the barren cage at the bottom of the lake was deployed by Wangjia Village.
Or to be more precise, it was Wang Dongliang who spearheaded the deployment.
That explains everything. Wang Dongliang's action of driving people away from the center of the lake wasn't because he was domineering, but because he didn't want anyone to discover the cage at the bottom of the lake.
Wanting to understand all this, he chuckled coldly twice, then pulled a fishing knife from his back...
Time passed second by second, and the sun gradually set, leaving a red glow in the western sky.
After resting for a while, Wang Dongliang regained his strength and then cursed, "Xiao Cao, Da Long, give me your phone and tell someone to bring the gasoline. I'm numb, Lu Wuyai, I'll write this hatred down."
Da Long took out his phone and handed it to him. "Brother Liang, keep your voice down. The turtle from Coconut Grove Village hasn't left yet. We're outnumbered but strong, so we can't get angry with him."
Wang Dongliang raised his head arrogantly, then snorted softly, "Afraid of him? I can be afraid of these things. Go ahead, go pull the cages first, see which one you can get to first."
Da Long took a grappling hook from the yacht. It was a long bamboo pole with an iron hook attached to it. Once it hooked onto the rope below the rubber float, the cage could be pulled up by pulling the rope.
He climbed onto the yacht's ladder and skillfully used the hook to pull the rope to the nearest buoy. Once it was in front of him, he reached out, grabbed the rope, and hauled it up.
The fish trap is half a meter long, half a meter wide, and half a meter high. It is very heavy underwater, and he pulls the rope with all his might.
As a result, the pull almost shook him into the water; the rope was very light and had no force at all.
"Damn it," Da Long cursed instinctively. He quickly picked up the rope, but all he got was a rope with nothing underneath it.
Seeing this, Da Long panicked: "Brother Liang, the rope has broken."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Dongliang frowned and said, "The rope broke. How could that be? This is a polyethylene fiber buoyancy rope made of it; it won't break even in ten years."
Da Long hooked another rope, then said in a panic, "No, Brother Liang, the rope here really broke. What happened?"
When the two ropes broke, Wang Dongliang felt a bit more confident. He walked over and kicked Da Long, yelling, "Get away from me, you bastard! You can't do anything, just watch me!"
Then, he hooked a rope with a grappling hook, and with a flick of his hand, the rope snapped.
Seeing this, Wang Dongliang forgot about being angry. He realized the situation was bad, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead despite the hot weather.
Without a word, he jumped into the water and swam to find the float and pull the rope, but the ropes were being pulled up one by one and cut, and the fish traps connected to them were all gone...
A young man with a pockmarked face rowed up behind him to deliver gasoline. Seeing that Wang Dongliang and Dalong looked strange, the young man blinked and looked at them, saying, "What's wrong, Brother Liang? Why do you look like you've lost both your parents?"
If someone had greeted him like this before, Wang Dongliang would have cursed his mother and hit the person, but now he was in no mood to be angry. He shouted desperately, "The buoyancy rope tied to the fish trap has been cut. It's paralyzed, and the trap can't be pulled up."
Upon hearing this, Wang Erjun, the gasoline deliveryman with a pimple-covered face, became anxious: "Damn it, you're not joking. The grouper in the cage is for Brother Hong Yanglong, so there can't be any mistakes."
Wang Dalong said, "We know we can't make mistakes, but this mistake has already happened, hasn't it? If you were paralyzed, we'd have to figure out a way, right? Brother Long, Hong Yang isn't as easy to talk to as I am."
"You're Konoha's older brother, Long." Wang Erjun said dismissively. Seeing Wang Dalong's expression change, he quickly added, "I'm sorry, Brother Long, I'm a straightforward person who likes to tell the truth. Please don't take it to heart."
Wang Dongliang raised his fist and slapped someone: "Draw it. Are you paralyzed? Are you out of your mind? Why are you making such a fuss? Quickly lift the cage up. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to give Brother Long a rock climber."
Wang Dalong cried, his face filled with sorrow, and said, "How can we get it? The water here is 50 meters deep. We don't have diving suits, and even if we did, they wouldn't be of any use. The people who can dive 50 meters are divided into teams two and three. This operation is being carried out secretly by our team one..."
"Alright, alright, shut up, you son of a bitch," Wang Dongliang said viciously.
At that moment, his mind was in complete chaos, a jumbled mess. The thought of the consequences if this matter were leaked, or the consequences of not being able to deliver the stone to Boss Hongyang in time, made his heart even more turbulent.
Wang Erjun looked around and saw Lu Wuyai not far away.
Seeing this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around, stamping his feet: "Brother Liang, look, it's a kid from Coconut Grove Village. He's very good at diving. Let him pull up the rope. We have a buoyancy rope, so the rope will definitely float in the water."
Wang Dalong came to his senses: "Damn it, Brother Liang, could it be that bastard cut the rope for us?"
All the buoyancy ropes connecting the fish cages to the water broke, which was clearly caused by human factors.
Thinking of Lu Wuyai's diving skills, Wang Dongliang's expression changed drastically: "It's definitely that bastard, I'm going to kill him."
Wang Erjun said, "Dalong, shut up. Daliang, don't listen to him. What time is it? Isn't it time to find the culprit? Now I need to figure out how to get the fish out of the cage."
This is reasonable; the outcome is already a fait accompli. We should focus on making up for the losses, not on venting our anger.
Wang Dongliang is like a donkey that has fallen into the water. He won't let go of any straw he can catch to save himself.
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll make it. Once the cage is brought up, I will definitely kill him."
“By then, we’ll have enough tricks up our sleeves to deal with this bastard,” Wang Erjun said confidently. “But right now, the most urgent thing is to get his help. Brother Liang, I know you’re a tough guy, but even you have to bow your head when you’re under someone’s roof. You’ll have to play the submissive role from now on, so don’t be too tough.”
Wang Dongliang gritted his teeth and said, "I know. My mother taught me that men are like leaves, they can be soft or hard, they can stretch or shrink."
“Alright.” Wang Erjun swallowed hard. “Brother Liang is telling the truth.”
But Wang Dalong still hesitated: "But we are using a cage house, and we are using it secretly. What if the people of Coconut Grove Village find out and it gets out?"
Wang Dongliang hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes."
Wang Erjun glared at the two of them: "Brainless! Coconut Grove Village is our mortal enemy, but they won't admit it later. Let's put it this way, they framed us. Also, let this kid go get the rope. The rope is floating in the water. He doesn't need to dive to the bottom to get the cage. He probably won't be able to find it."
Wang Dongliang immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
After refueling the yacht, Wang Dongliang immediately started his car and drove over, shouting to Lu Wuyai from afar, "Brother Yang, help me."
When Lu Wuyai saw him sailing over, he became alert. Upon hearing his form of address, he was immediately stunned and speechless: "What did you call me? Are you crazy?"
Wang Dongliang smiled broadly: "No, Brother Yang, Brother Yang, you're my brother. It's like this, brother, some of my buoyancy ropes have fallen into the water, can you help me retrieve them?"
Lu Wuyai sneered and said, "Are you out of your mind? Why should I help you? We just finished a war, we've been fighting since we were kids."
Wang Dongliang continued nodding and smiling, "Arguing is a sign of love, what's wrong with being friends? It's all about deepening relationships."
"Stop talking, stop talking, it's getting more and more disgusting." Lu Wuyai interrupted him, "Let's get straight to the point. If your buoyancy rope falls into the water, won't it just float up on its own?"
Wang Dongliang laughed and said, "No, the rope is tied to the cage. Can you help me pull the rope up? Give me a hand. I won't let you work for nothing. I'll repay you."
