In the afternoon, the sky was overcast and it was going to rain.

Most people stayed at home, playing cards and chatting.

Xia Lunong had just overused his supernatural powers in the morning and turned into a cat again, causing a big trouble. He was in no mood to play, so he lay listlessly on the bed, listening to the rain outside.

In the summer, it gets dark later, and it will take several hours. He lay in bed until his bones hurt a little. He had finished reading the novel on his phone. He was very bored and tossed and turned in bed, not knowing what to do.

Just as he was tossing and turning, there was a knock on the door. He lazily called out, "It's unlocked, come in."

It was Kong Zhi who pushed the door open and poked his head in. "Do you want to go fishing?"

Xia Lunong turned over and sat cross-legged on the bed. "What kind of fish? Where can we go fishing?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to go fishing this morning?" Kong Zhi raised his hand and shook the fishing net in his hand at him. "Let's go to the river outside."

Xia Lunong's face lit up. "Where did you borrow the fishing net from?"

"I borrowed it from Lao Liu and the others. I've already asked Brother Huo Qu. If I don't go, I'll return the fishing net."

"Go, go." Xia Lunong put on her slippers and trotted to the door. She looked at him with a smile on her face. "Just go out and fish? Do you need to bring anything?"

"Bring a few sacks so we can bring back the fish when we catch them."

Xia Lunong ran to the utility room and found a few sacks, and took the rope.

"Are we the only two?"

"Go ask Brother Huoqu next door."

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian were playing chess next door. When they saw Xia Lunong peeking over to ask, Xia Huoqu said, "We don't have much to do. We'll go with you."

"Then I'll bring a few more sacks."

They were now very familiar with leaving the base.

Everyone used the beast form, holding the things in their mouths or on their backs, and ran a dozen meters in two or three steps. Like lightning, they ran from one end of the base to the other.

Xia Lunong had short legs and ran slowly, and was small, so Kong Zhi simply flew out with the fish in his mouth.

The place where they went fishing was the river where they washed peanuts that day.

This river is quite big, about ten meters wide, especially now that it has just rained, the surface of the river is swollen, and the muddy yellow water is rushing downstream, which looks quite scary.

When they arrived at the river, Xia Maomao stretched his neck and raised his front paws to look into the river.

He saw fish in the river that day, and he didn't know if there were still any now.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian quickly turned back into human form, took out clothes and pants from the packages they had been holding and put them on, "Don't look, there are fish below."

Kong Zhi did not come down, but circled in the sky, keeping watch and ready to rescue at any time.

If someone accidentally fell into the river, he could rush down and pick them up.

Xia Lunong also changed back to human form, quickly put on his pants and rain boots, and asked his brother: "Is the fish in the middle? Can we catch it with our fishing net?"

"Yes, it has floated to the surface. You step back a little, your brother and I will do it."

Xia Lunong also knew that he was clumsy, and his brother was worried, so he simply stepped back a few steps. He gave this place to his brother and his brother.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian both knew how to cast nets.

Yan Xinian found a position and said, "I will cast the first net."

Xia Huoqu: "Be careful, it has been raining for so long, the river bank may collapse."

Yan Xinian walked ten steps along the river, looking for a position, and finally threw the fishing net forward at a slightly protruding place.

It was the first time that Xia Lunong saw people casting nets in real life.

Yan Xinian was very strong. He grabbed the rope in his hand and threw the fishing net six or seven meters away in an instant.

The edge of the fishing net was attached with steel pendants. Once thrown, the fishing net immediately sank to the bottom of the river.

Xia Lunong looked at the fishing net nervously.

Yan Xinian waited for a while before starting to pull the rope to collect the net.

The river was very turbulent, and the flowing water caused some obstacles to the collection of the net.

Xia Lunong watched from the side, not daring to breathe, and asked his brother nervously, "Are there any fish in it?"

Xia Huoqu looked into the river, "There should be, I saw fish scales."

Xia Huoqu took a step forward, stood behind Yan Xinian, and pulled up the fishing net with him.

The hands of the two people were pierced by the fishing net and turned dark red. You can imagine how heavy the fishing net is.

Xia Lunong quickly ran behind his brother, grabbed the rope of the fishing net, and began to pull back.

The three of them pulled with the posture of pulling radishes, exerting force one by one.

The fishing net below was too heavy. Yan Xinian panted while pulling, "There must be a big guy in it."

Xia Lunong gritted his teeth, "There must be, if not, the big guy would not be able to justify the weight."

Xia Huo said, "I saw it, there is a big silver-white fish in it, if nothing unexpected happens, it will weigh more than ten or twenty kilograms."

Yan Xinian hurriedly said, "Heaven and earth, give me a tastier fish."

As the three talked, they pulled the fishing net towards the shore with all their strength.

After pulling for a long time, the three finally pulled the fishing net up.

Fish of all sizes were jumping in the fishing net, like a dancing crescent moon.

The biggest fish was thicker than Xia Lunong's waist, and when it was pulled up, it was still tearing the fishing net desperately.

"Oh my god, this fish is so big!"

Xia Lunong ran over and wanted to take the fish out of the fishing net.

When he walked to the fishing net, he found that the biggest and most tempting fish in the net had changed drastically.

There were several crocodile-like legs under the fish's belly, and it looked like a suture monster.

Xia Lunong was stunned, goosebumps popped up, and his scalp was numb for a moment.

He stood there without moving.

His brother leaned over to take a look, then grabbed the fish, looked it up and down, and said, "It has changed too much, we can't keep this fish."

Yan Xinian also came over to take a look, "If you don't want it, then don't keep it. There are so many fish in the fishing net. Let's take a look at other ones."

Xia Lunong nodded and carefully caught other fish.

Some of these fish have teeth, and some have very sharp fins. You have to be very careful when catching them, or you might get bitten or pricked.

Some fish have very poisonous fins, and if they prick your hand, you'll feel itchy and numb. If it's serious, you'll need to see a doctor.

Xia Lunong was very careful and quickly got the fish out.

There were more than 40 fish in the net, but only 16 were edible.

Of the 16 fish, the smallest weighed more than a pound, and they were all stuffed into the sack, filling it up.

Yan Xinian dragged the sack to a place far from the river and said, "Let's see where to cast the second net."

When he said this, Kongzhi flew down from the sky, called out to them, and flew down the river. After flying to the downstream a dozen meters away, it circled above the river.

Xia Lunong's eyes lit up, "Quick, quick, there are fish in Kongzhi, let's go there to fish."

Yan Xinian looked up and asked, "How do you know there are fish in Kongzhi?"

Xia Lunong said, "Didn't he ask us to go there?"

Yan Xinian looked at him, "You two have a good understanding, you can understand this."

Xia Lunong thought to herself, what's the most difficult thing to understand? It's probably just those few sentences, either this or that. Combining the context, you can know what Kongzhi is talking about.

Meeting his brother's heavy gaze, Xia Lunong felt something was wrong, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He only responded vaguely, grabbed the fishing net and walked downstream first.

Yan Xinian was the strongest and threw the fishing net most accurately, so he was the one to cast the net.

Kong Zhi could see very clearly from the sky, and under his guidance, there were fish in every place Xia Lunong and his friends went.

Although Kong Zhi had selected the river sections where fish were more likely to gather in advance, fishing was still very strenuous.

They had to cast the net and pull the net, and after catching the fish, they had to sort them and clean the fishing net.

It would take at least ten to twenty minutes to catch this net of fish.

There were indeed a lot of fish in the river, and there were also a lot of strange fish. Once they cast the net, they had no way of predicting what kind of fish would be caught. They could only collect all the fish and then slowly select them.

This afternoon, the fishing net caught several particularly ferocious fish, but it was only because Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian had experience that they were not bitten.

Time passed by minute by minute. It was cloudy and the sky darkened slowly. When they came to their senses, birds were chirping all around and night had fallen.

It was very dark and they could not see things a few meters away.

Yan Xinian wiped his face tiredly, "Let's stop here for today. There are too many fish in the river to catch. Let's take the fish back first."

"Okay." Xia Huoqu said, "There are so many fish, enough for us to eat."

The four of them turned back into beast form.

Except for Xia Lunong, everyone carried fish on their backs.

It was too late, and by the time they took the fish back, the market had already dispersed.

There were too many fish to eat in a short time, and because they were stuffed into the sacks, many of the fish had already died. If they were left at home overnight, they might stink tomorrow.

The four of them looked at the fish, feeling a little worried.

Xia Lunong thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we move it to the small square today and see if anyone is willing to exchange it for something?"

It wasn't raining, and many people had gathered in the small square.

If there weren't many things to exchange for the fish, there should be many people interested.

Xia Huoqu and the other two agreed to the proposal.

Xia Huoqu picked out a few tastier fish from the sack and stuffed the rest back into the sack.

They changed back into their beast form and ran to the small square with the fish in their mouths.

The base was small and news spread quickly, so everyone knew they were going fishing and that they had caught a lot of fish.

However, when they actually saw the sacks filled with fish, many people were still surprised.

"Xiunong, are these the fish you caught this afternoon?"

"Xiunong, how do you exchange them?"

"That fish is really fat! Hey, have you picked them out? These are the fish that have not mutated much and can be eaten?"

Xia Lunong was so tired that she took a stool passed to her by the person next to her and sat down in front of the fish. "Yes, these are the fish we caught today. If you like any of them, you can exchange them for rice or something else."

"Two kilograms of rice for one kilogram of fish. First come first served. The last one to come can't pick it. If you come late, there will be no more."

"Oh, then I have to hurry and get the rice."

"I'll go too. I haven't eaten fish for a long time!"
