Chapter 39

Fishing 2

The next morning Fang Xin arrived at the river early when it was still light.

After a night of fishing, I hope to catch more fish.

When I walked to the ice hole, I saw a new layer of ice and it was frozen again.

Fang Xin sighed. He had forgotten about this. In such cold weather, the ice hole would definitely be frozen again. But fortunately, the ice layer was not very thick.

Pick up the ice bracelet and break the ice again.

Fang Xin pulled the fishing net out with all his strength. This time the fishing net was a bit heavy and he felt vibrations in his hands.

I was happy in my heart, thinking that this time the fish must be more than yesterday.

Sure enough, after the fishing net was pulled out, a bunch of big fish jumped and struggled.

All of them, along with the fishing nets, were placed in a large basin in front of the space villa.

Pull out the fishing nets from the remaining five ice holes one by one.

A rough calculation showed that there were about 120 fish in the six ice holes, and about 20 small fish in them.

A great harvest.

Including yesterday's fish, these fish are enough for one person and one dog to eat for several days.

Fang Xin continued to dig the net out of the ice with great energy.

Then continue training the dog.

In the distance, people were fishing.

It was too far away to see clearly, and I could only see a few dark shadows moving.

I didn't expect there were so many people fishing today.

They actually came so far, probably because there were too many people fishing downstream, and everyone wanted to find a place with fewer people to catch more fish.

This time we waited a little longer, three and a half hours before we pulled up the net, hoping to catch more fish.

But he was very disappointed because there were not enough fish in this net, only seven. Fang Xin didn't mind. It was normal to have more or less. It was impossible for every net to be so lucky.

So I started a second network.

Crunchy~

It was the sound of footsteps.

Fang Xin's ears moved. Someone was coming!

The hand pulling the net stopped, and he turned around to look into the distance. Two figures, one big and one small, were walking towards this side, but he couldn't tell whether they were a man or a woman.

Fang Xin quickly pulled out the net, threw the fish into the space before anyone got close, and then quickly took out two large baskets. It was difficult to put things into the space when there were people around.

Fang Xin ignored the two men and continued to cast the net.

Before the two of them get close, use the cover of the big basket to throw the fish into the space.

The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer. Fang Xin stopped what he was doing and looked back again.

An old man came over with an 11.2-year-old boy.

The boy was holding an iron bucket with a broken fish cage placed next to it.

The old man was holding a big iron spike in his hand.

The old man asked, "Little girl, are there many fish here?"

Fang Xin replied calmly, "It's OK."

After saying this, she continued to surf the Internet. After she finished surfing a few times, she would move to another place. She didn't like staying with others. It was really inconvenient.

Seeing that Fang Xin didn't pay much attention to him, the old man left awkwardly and started to chip ice at a distance.

Another net of fish was pulled out, this time with still very few fish, only a few. It seemed that the fish here had indeed become more refined and were not gathering as much.

Because there were people nearby and it was inconvenient to use the space, I had to put the fish in the basket.

The young man not far away saw Fang Xin catch so many fish and said to his grandfather excitedly, "Grandpa, there are so many fish here. My sister just caught quite a few. I said let's go upstream. There are fewer people here and there will be more fish."

The old man was very happy, "Yes, my good grandson is really smart. Let's go fishing here today and cook for my eldest grandson when we get home."

The boy nodded happily, "Okay, we have fish to eat today, so we don't have to be hungry anymore."

The old man touched the boy's head with kindness.

"Grandpa, can we not give the fish to others today?"

The old man sighed and said nothing.

The boy immediately lowered his head dejectedly.

Grow up quickly, he thought, you are too weak!

I wish he were an adult.

Fang Xin heard the conversation between the two grandfathers. The "give it to others" in the young man's mouth should not be taken the initiative to give it to others!

Judging from their conversation and clothing, they are not having a good life. This old man doesn't look like a saintly father at all!

Fang Xin shook his head and thought, forget it, who cares!

After Fang Xin collected a few fish from the ice holes, he moved away from the two of them.

It is also inconvenient to use space where there are people.

Fang Xin was busy digging the sixth ice hole when he saw the young man running over.

Holding a big fish in his arms.

The dog stopped what he was doing, ran over and squatted obediently at Fang Xin's feet.

The boy stood at a distance and said loudly, "Sister, Grandpa asked me to ask you what bait you use. Can I exchange some with you?"

He lifted up the big fish in his arms and said, "We only caught two fish, this one is the biggest. If you have any extra bait, can you exchange it for some?"

Seeing Fang Xin didn't say anything, the young man lowered his head and said, "My grandfather is not in good health. I finally came here and wanted to catch more fish so that I can eat for a few more days. And... I have to hand over some of them."

Fang Xin was puzzled, "Why should I hand it over?"

The young man raised his head suddenly, "Sister, didn't you hand it in?"

Fang Xin did not answer.

The boy was not interested and did not ask further questions. "Every intersection is guarded by people. You must hand over supplies before you can pass. If you don't hand over, you will be beaten."

Fang Xin understood that "giving it to others" turned out to be a toll.

The strong make the rules and the weak follow them.

Ordinary people have no say at all.

Weakness is the original sin.

Fang Xin took out the frozen poultry from the basket and threw it to the boy, "Take it. It's yours."

The boy picked up a large pile of bait on the ground and ate it in amazement. "Sister, these are all edible. You can use this to catch fish."

Fang Xin ignored him and continued to cut ice. He only heard the boy say "thank you" and run away.

The dog ran over, picked up the fish in its mouth and ran back.

It was left by the teenager.

Fang Xin threw the fish into the basket.

Today's harvest was not very ideal. The harvest of the whole day was not as much as that of the morning.

The old man and the young man left early and only put down two fish baskets, but their harvest was not bad, with 11 fish. Before leaving, they left two big ones for Fang Xin to thank her for the bait.

Fang Xin did not act in a pretentious manner and accepted all of it. Although she had everything she needed, attitude was very important.

If the other party doesn't express it, she won't have any other thoughts.

They have already exchanged their things for bait, and everything they get afterwards is theirs.

Fang Xin dug five more holes in the ice in the dark and lowered his nets. He would set up the nets tomorrow morning. After a night of gathering fish, there should be more fish.

After finishing everything, Fang Xin and Gou Zi entered the space.

Take out the small fish from the villa basin and put them in the pool, and then put all the big fish in the storage space.

Some poultry were put into the pond.

The little fishes moved to a warmer environment and became quite active, scrambling for food.

The wild animals that were previously captured were later allowed to roam free.

Fang Xin found that after entering the space, their wildness had faded, and they became very peaceful and got along well with the indigenous people.

Fang Xin was inspecting the ranch while eating the cucumbers produced in the space.

I felt very comfortable, and even the coldness was relieved a lot.

Fang Xin stared at the cucumber in his hand and his eyes lit up. If he used the food produced in the space as bait, would he be able to catch more fish?

Let's try it tomorrow.
