I wonder if she's caught all the big fish here.
Chen Zhiyao wandered around for a while but didn't see any big fish, only small black shadows.
She estimated that these dark figures weighed about one or two pounds, at most a little over three pounds.
So I replaced the big hook on my fishing rod with a small hook, intending to focus on catching three-knife fish.
She cut a whole prawn into tiny shrimp pieces the size of a fingernail with scissors.
After preparing her fishing rod, Chen Zhiyao went to a place where there seemed to be many dark figures.
Her X-ray glasses could only show the approximate location and size of marine life, but not the underwater topography.
Therefore, all she knew was that there were about 10 small fish in the water in front of her.
The fish were quite densely packed. Less than a minute after the hook was in the water, a long, thin creature slowly approached the bait.
A moment later, Chen Zhiyao felt a pull on the fishing rod in her hand.
However, the fish wasn't very strong, and its pulling force was only a little. Judging from the shape of the shadow, it should be a sea eel weighing a little over three pounds.
With only a tiny bit of pull, Chen Zhiyao was too lazy to play the fish anymore and started reeling it in quickly.
As the line was being reeled in, the creature below struggled frantically, its tail whipping wildly, but it still couldn't break free.
She initially thought it was a rather large conger eel, but when she pulled it out of the water, she found it was actually a brightly colored spicy strip.
One look at its vibrant colors and dazzling patterns and you know it must be an extremely venomous snake.
This thing can bite! Chen Zhiyao looked at the spicy strip struggling desperately in mid-air and got goosebumps all over her body. She didn't know what to do for a moment.
It was Chen Weiqiang, who was not far away, who saw this and spoke up to remind him:
"Tangtang, the spicy strips are poisonous! Quickly cut the fishing line!"
"Oh, oh, I'll get the scissors right away."
She had just opened her toolbox, and before she could even take out the scissors, the spicy snack on the surface of the water bit through the fishing line and swam away quickly after falling into the water.
Chen Zhiyao looked up with the scissors in hand and realized that the thread had already been cut.
"Thank goodness, that terrifying guy ran away on his own."
Having caught a spicy snack early in the morning, Chen Zhiyao felt that the spot was unlucky, so she quickly grabbed her fishing gear and moved on.
Finally, she stopped on a huge rock.
In the water ahead, there weren't many shadowy figures, but they were slightly larger, weighing at least two or three pounds.
Chen Zhiyao deftly switched to a small fishing hook, baited it with shrimp meat, and cast it towards the area where the shadows were densest.
This time, the fish took a little longer to catch; after about a few minutes, a dark shadow darted out.
Immediately afterwards, the gluttonous creature swallowed the shrimp and the fishing hook together.
The next second, Chen Zhiyao felt a pull on the fishing rod in her hand.
However, the pulling force was a bit strange; it wasn't very strong, and the movement was quite slow.
When I reeled in the line, I could clearly feel that this thing had weight, but it hardly resisted at all, as if I were pulling a dead object.
The dark shape was a blob, and it didn't look like a normal fish or a moray eel.
"This movement, this feel, could it be another sea turtle?"
Chen Zhiyao was somewhat dissatisfied, but she still quickly pulled the thing out of the sea.
However, it wasn't a sea turtle meant to be a sewing machine, but rather a small octopus weighing about two pounds.
"At least an octopus can be sold for money; it's worth at least a few dozen yuan."
Chen Zhiyao found the strangely shaped octopus much more pleasing to the eye.
After taking down the first gift she caught that day, she replaced it with a new shrimp.
To avoid catching any more strange creatures, Chen Zhiyao deliberately cast her bait towards a dark shape that looked most like a fish this time.
However, accidents can happen at any time, and the bait did not land next to the dark figure she had her eye on.
Instead, it was swept to the other side by the waves and landed in front of a small, round, dark figure.
The little black shadow was probably hungry, because it darted over as soon as it saw prey.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhiyao felt the fishing rod in her hand sink, and a light but not heavy pulling force came over her.
Feeling the increasing pull from the fishing rod, Chen Zhiyao's mood improved considerably; finally, she had caught a relatively normal fish.
Although the pull wasn't strong, she still symbolically played the fish for a while.
However, he was too weak and it wasn't fun to reel in the line. After less than two minutes, he quickly turned the handle of the fishing reel to start reeling in the line again.
However, when she was reeling in the line, Chen Zhiyao felt something was wrong again. The pull was jerky and the line wasn't moving much.
The more I think about it, the more it resembles a sea turtle.
However, fate was kind to Zhiyao. Before long, she flew a giant blue crab weighing more than 2 pounds ashore.
The last swimming crab was pulled up while it was holding a large shrimp, but this mud crab was caught by actually eating the hook.
"I didn't expect to actually catch a crab. This big blue crab must weigh at least two pounds."
Chen Zhiyao wasn't in a hurry to retrieve the fishing hook. Instead, she happily took several photos of the ancient blue crab and posted them on her WeChat Moments.
After putting her phone away, Chen Zhiyao's smile faded.
Although she caught three fish in a row today, none of them were good catches, and the prices were relatively low.
"Sigh, why am I only catching weird and strange things today? I guess I should go to the Temple of Sea God and pray sometime."
After casting her fishing hook into the water, Chen Zhiyao stood on tiptoe and looked at the bucket next to Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang not far away.
My grandfather only caught one small fish, while my father didn't catch anything.
There's no limit to how bad things can get. This comparison immediately improved Chen Zhiyao's mood.
The fishing wasn't going well today, so you can't blame her.
While the spicy snacks, octopus, and crabs from before were somewhat bizarre, they were still relatively normal. However, this time Chen Zhiyao caught a dead creature.
The X-ray glasses showed no shadowy figure biting the hook, but Chen Zhiyao felt a pull on the hook.
Although the thing below doesn't struggle, it can still reel in the line when the reel is turned.
This eliminates the possibility of it getting stuck at the bottom.
This thing is quite heavy, and Chen Zhiyao had some difficulty reeling it in.
Soon, images of murder and body disposal flashed through her mind. Could there be something terrifying down there?
As the fishing line was slowly reeled in, Chen Zhiyao's heart pounded faster and faster, and her palms sweated with nervousness.
Not long after, a tattered, stained burlap sack was suddenly pulled out of the water.
This sack is heavy and large; it looks like it could easily fit a person inside.
For a moment, Chen Zhiyao imagined a lot of things.
Looking at the heavy sack, her face turned pale, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
Chen Zhiyao became more and more frightened. Could there be a corpse hidden inside?
