Chapter 193 The Village Was Flooded
Relying on the characteristics of the fishing rod and fishing line, Zhang Ze raised his foot and stepped on the stone guardrail to pull it hard with brute force, and the hand holding the fishing reel crank also shook it vigorously.
In this way, the big fish that was moving on the bottom of the water was forced to come ten meters closer to the shore, and the fishing line was also recovered that much.
The fish was probably a little dazed by the greater pulling force and hardly struggled at this distance.
It was probably thinking that it didn't have that much strength just now, so what was going on now? But it soon reacted again and struggled frantically.
But Zhang Ze had his feet on the stone guardrail and was leaning back. In this situation, the force he exerted was even greater than before. Even if the fish was big enough, it could not resist the pulling force.
What's more, it had already been exhausted by several people when it was driving the piles, and now it is not in its peak condition at all.
The violent dragging method like Zhang Ze's is actually not advisable, as it puts too much pressure on the quality of the fishing rod and fishing line.
Most anglers are unlikely to do this. Most of them will just slowly reel the fish in. After all, a good quality fishing rod costs at least a few thousand, and the expensive ones can be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. If one breaks, they will be heartbroken.
Under Zhang Ze's strong dragging, the fish at the bottom of the water consumed their energy very quickly.
After being pulled out from under the boat, the fish was almost exhausted and lay on its side on the water.
"Oh my god, this fish has to be more than two meters long?" Although Tong Yuanhang next to him was mentally prepared and guessed that the fish might be very big, he was still stunned when its true appearance appeared in front of him.
Having been a fisherman for so many years, he has always seen others catch big fish, but he has almost never fished or caught a fish larger than two meters, which makes him very regretful.
"Yes, it's definitely more than two meters long. By the way, what kind of fish is this?" Tong Guoqi next to him nodded in affirmation, and then asked.
"It looks like a sea bass." Because the rain blocked his view and it was a bit far away, Zhang Ze was not very sure.
"Bass? Brother, is that the fish you occasionally took home to steam?" Zhang Wu looked curious and stood on tiptoe to look at the water surface.
"That shouldn't be the case. There are many varieties of sea bass. That one is a seven-star sea bass, which usually grows less than two meters long." Zhang Ze shook his head, but his tone was not very certain.
It's basically impossible, but not impossible.
No matter what era we live in, the possibility of encountering fish that exceed the standard is still very high.
Tong Yuanhang seemed to have thought of something, and said quickly: "In that case, it could be a barramundi. It seems that only barramundi in the South China Sea can escape from the sea into fresh water and grow so big."
Zhang Ze nodded: "I think so too. Apart from this kind of sea bass, I can't think of anything else for the time being."
Speculations are just speculations, but he didn't stop.
The big fish was almost lying flat at this time, and Zhang Ze quickly pulled the fish to his side.
But before I could get a closer look, the fish, which had been resting for half a day, began to struggle again. However, the strength of this struggle was far less than before, and it seemed like it was struggling to death.
Zhang Ze held the fishing rod firmly with one hand and just pulled it to make it uncomfortable, while waiting for it to calm down.
"How do we get it up?" Lin Hu beside him gestured at the two-meter-long fish and looked troubled.
"Let's go to the stairs and have a look. If it doesn't work, let's get it to someone else's boat first." Zhang Ze said after thinking for a while.
In fact, he didn't expect to encounter such a big sharpnose seabass. Now he could only try to lift it up from the stairs.
To be honest, the risk of the fish escaping is actually quite high, but there is nothing we can do about it.
Then he waited for the fish to calm down again and then pulled the fish towards the stairs at the dock.
Tong Yuanhang and his group all followed beside him and will help later.
Zhang Wu wanted to follow him down, but was stopped by Zhang Ze. He thought he was too small to help and might even fall into the water if he wasn't careful.
"Come on, bring up the fish."
"How the hell are we going to lift such a big fish? How about we try to get it on the boat first? Whose boat is this one next to us? Can I borrow it first?"
Zhang Ze looked at the situation here and felt that he had to get it on the boat first. It would not be easy to lift a fish that was still alive and without a hook.
Being accidentally scratched or stabbed is not a big deal, but if the tail hits your head, you will probably get a concussion.
"I'll go drive the boat!" Tong Yuanhang came to the boat from the side, and then followed the boats one by one to the outermost one.
"Let me help you hold the fishing rod!" Tong Guoqi took the fishing rod from Zhang Ze and helped control the fish.
Zhang Ze freed his hands and was about to go into the water to lift the fish up from underwater, but the fish, which had been quiet for a while, started struggling again.
Tong Guoqi lost his balance and fell to the ground, and then something unexpected happened.
The fishhook directly pulled off a piece of meat from the fish's mouth. Although the fish's mouth was painful and a piece of meat was missing, it was free.
"Oh shit~" Zhang Ze blurted out and jumped directly into the water because the fish had turned over and started swimming into the deep water.
"Aze!"
"elder brother"
The people on the shore were all startled when Zhang Ze suddenly jumped into the water, but now there were only a few waves on the water surface and they could not see the situation under the water. They could only wait anxiously.
In fact, after Zhang Ze jumped into the water and touched the fish, he tried to put the fish into the space.
He wasn't sure if he could take it in in this situation, but if not, then the fish would probably be lost.
But the result disappointed him. When he touched the fish, he was unable to put it into the space. Obviously, a fish that was off the hook could not be judged as a successful capture.
Zhang Ze was quite disappointed and prepared to return to the shore, but at this moment, the fish came to the bottom of the water and stopped moving.
Because he was holding onto the tail, he was also dragged to the bottom of the water.
No one would be willing to let such a big fish get away. Zhang Ze had a pretty good lung capacity, so he decided to give it a try to see if he could pick up the fish. Perhaps this would help him determine that he had caught it.
After all, when we went to the sea before, as long as we successfully pressed down the crab, we would be considered to have caught it successfully, and there was no need to catch the crab.
As a result, as soon as I picked it up, the fish disappeared in an instant.
This situation made Zhang Ze very happy. Fortunately there was space, otherwise the fish would have really escaped this time.
Then he immediately swam to the surface. There were people on the shore, and they must be worried about his situation.
Tong Yuanhang and his companions breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him emerge from the water.
"Aze, it's okay if the fish ran away. Don't do such dangerous things next time. If something happens to you, what will happen to my aunt and my sister?" Tong Junqiang supported Tong Guoqi with a little blame on his face.
"I just jumped down because I was excited!" Zhang Ze smiled. The fish didn't run away, and he was in a very good mood.
[Successfully caught a barramundi, weighing 276 catties, experience (King Fish) +700. ]
He was even happier when he saw it was a king fish, and it didn’t look like he had lost the fish at all.
But the people on the shore thought he was just smiling awkwardly and didn't notice anything unusual.
Only Tong Guoqi, who fell, looked self-blaming: "If I hadn't fallen accidentally, the fish wouldn't have escaped. It's all my fault."
"It's okay, it's just a fish that escaped. You can catch it again next time." Zhang Ze climbed out of the water and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
At this time Tong Yuanhang also came back from the boat, looked at them and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
With his younger brother on one side and his brother-in-law on the other, he could only say a few words of comfort in the end.
Zhang Ze looked at the sky and said, "Why don't we go back first? The rain is getting heavier."
"Okay, you are all wet, go back and take a hot bath, be careful not to catch a cold." Tong Yuanhang nodded in agreement.
So the group packed up their things and went home with their afternoon haul.
When they got home, Zhang's mother saw that her son was soaking wet and immediately went to boil water: "You are really something. You want to go fishing on a rainy day and come back only after you are soaked all over."
"I'm just bored!" Zhang Ze didn't tell her that he was soaked all over because of diving, so as not to make her worry.
Zhang Wu was very sensible and didn't say anything. In fact, at this age, he already understood a lot, and it was normal for two brothers to keep secrets from each other.
The hot water was quickly boiled, and the two took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes, feeling much more comfortable.
Then Zhang Ze prepared to process the fish and make the fish head in the evening.
He was killing fish under the eaves, and the rain outside was getting heavier. It was obvious that a typhoon was about to come, but the wind had not yet picked up.
The rain continued until Lin Long and Lin Hu finished their dinner and were preparing to go back to next door, and it didn't stop at all.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It's raining so hard, but the wind isn't blowing very hard, and I don't know how long it will last." Zhang Ze stood at the door with a flashlight, observing the ground, and found that there was no place to step on the path outside.
If it continues like this, it will probably fill up his yard by midnight.
If this is true, it would be fine. But I am afraid that the water level of the Pearl River outside will rise and flood the village. By then, I estimate that many old houses may collapse.
In the face of natural disasters, human power is insignificant.
"I hope we can stop sooner!" Lin Long beside him sighed. Although he had only been in this village for a few days, he had already fallen in love with this place.
Because of Zhang Ze, the villagers were quite enthusiastic about the two brothers, especially some of the aunties in the village, who kept introducing blind dates to them.
At present, Lin Hu is already in contact with a pretty girl, which makes Lin Long very pleased.
Originally, he just wanted his younger brother to be able to start a family and live a stable life.
Now it is obviously about to be realized, and even my own marriage can be solved.
Lin Long is almost thirty, which is already a bachelor in this era.
But yesterday Jin Sanbao's mother introduced him to a girl. The girl is considered relatively old in the countryside, about 25 years old.
For some reasons, I broke up with my fiancé and I'm left alone.
Zhang Ze had heard from others that the girl was a good one, but she couldn't get married because of rumors.
We were supposed to meet today, but unfortunately the typhoon came, so the time was postponed.
After a night, the next morning, the whirring sound of wind could be heard in the room, and the windows would occasionally shake.
Fortunately, the house Zhang Ze bought was a new house and was connected to the house next door, so he was not too afraid of typhoons.
Some of the old houses in the village are probably a bit dangerous.
In this kind of weather, Zhang Ze really didn't know what to do except sleep! He lowered his head to look at Tong Shuyao nestled in his arms, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
Men, unless they are weak, will always raise their heads to salute the old man every morning.
Not to mention that Zhang Ze is in great shape.
Holding his wife's hand, he began to check the children's canteen to see if enough food had been prepared.
This is what he needs to check every day, for the sake of the child! After groping for a while, Zhang Ze nodded with satisfaction. The child would not be hungry.
Tong Shuyao couldn't sleep anymore because of the examination. Seeing that her young husband was too arrogant, she smiled charmingly.
And because she just woke up early in the morning, her face looked even more cute and innocent, which was really pure and sexy, making little Zhang Ze even more excited.
Just as they were about to go out, there was a knock on the door downstairs, interrupting their pace.
Zhang Ze frowned, thinking that Zhang's mother got up very early every day, so he prepared to continue.
But there was a typhoon today, and Zhang's mother knew that he would not go out to sea, so she slept in for a rare night.
So there was a constant knocking on the door downstairs, accompanied by the village chief's shouting.
When Zhang Ze heard that the village chief had come, he thought that something important had happened, so he didn't care about little Zhang Ze's protests, and quickly got up, put on his clothes, and came out to open the door.
They live on the first floor, so it's easy to open the door.
After opening the door, Zhang Ze was surprised to find that not only the village chief was at the door, but also some other villagers.
A dozen or so children were all wet, obviously having been caught in the rain outside.
At the same time, Zhang Ze also noticed that the water had reached half of the threshold of his house and the yard had already been flooded.
This is because his house was built upstream of the village, with a relatively high geographical location, and there are three steps at the entrance.
In the downstream area, it is estimated that all the houses have been flooded, at least to the height of half the floor.
"Uncle Jin, what are they doing?" Although Zhang Ze had some guesses in his mind, he still asked first.
"Aze, I'm here to discuss something with you. Many houses downstream have been flooded. Those houses are too dangerous, so I asked them to come out and arrange for them to stay in your houses upstream to avoid the typhoon, you see."
"Okay, no problem. Let them stay at my house first and wait until the typhoon passes." Zhang Ze agreed immediately. "A-Long and A-Hu are currently living in the house next to mine. If there are still people who have nowhere to live, Uncle Jin, you can take them there."
The village was hit by a disaster, and he was willing to help to the best of his ability.
"Okay, okay!" Jin Luping nodded happily when he heard Zhang Ze's direct agreement.
There are indeed many people who need to be accommodated in the village, and the house next door can accommodate at least twenty people, which can greatly reduce his pressure.
Two families came to Zhang Ze's side, with a total of sixteen people including adults and children. After entering the house, they kept thanking him.
At this time, Zhang's mother also came downstairs because of the noise. After hearing the reason why these people came, she immediately went over to boil water and make breakfast.
Zhang Ze returned to the house and told Tong Shuyao the reason, then immediately put on his raincoat and caught up with the village chief to help.
He is very happy living in this village, so he is willing to help with things within his ability.
It was windy outside, and it could catch thinner people, but it was not so bad for Zhang Ze.
After he came out, he called Lin Long and Lin Hu, and followed the village chief to downstream to help bring the children over.
Some villagers were slow to react and were trapped on the second floor, and they all needed to be rescued by the young people in their village.
As for the government, it is probably also arranging its soldiers to help out in places where the situation is more serious.
