Chapter 159 The fisherman's anger is dangerous
When packing up, no one noticed that Lin Heng had an extra silver ring on his hand.
While eating, Caiyun noticed the beautiful ring on Xiulan's hand and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law Xiulan, this ring is so beautiful. Did my second brother buy it for you?"
When Caiyun said this, everyone noticed that there was a sparkling ring on Xiulan's beautiful hand.
"It's a gold ring inlaid with agate, it's so beautiful." Sister-in-law Liu Juan said enviously.
In this era, diamond rings are not popular, and everyone likes to have agate or jade inlaid.
Xiulan nodded gently and said softly: "Yes, it was given to me by Lin Heng."
Mother Lin clapped her hands and said, "I remember now. Today you have been married for three years. That bastard Lin Heng has finally grown up and knows how to love his wife."
"Mom, I've always felt bad for you, okay?" Lin Heng replied dissatisfiedly.
"Humph, do you want me to bring up the past again?" Lin's mother glared at him.
Lin Hengxi stopped talking, mainly because he didn't want to argue with his mother, not because he was afraid.
"She's so beautiful." Caiyun grabbed Xiulan's hand and looked at her again and again, feeling happy for her.
"No wonder Xiulan is so virtuous. You are also good at this, brother." Li Shiwei said with a smile, putting his arm around Lin Heng's shoulder.
"Xiulan is just as virtuous even if I don't send her off. You can't envy her." Lin Heng chuckled.
Some things can only be understood after careful consideration. Many rural men dislike their wives for various shortcomings, but in fact a large part of the reason is caused by themselves.
Before marriage and after marriage, he is like two different people, as if the woman is his personal property once she comes home, and he can beat, scold and order her around at will.
The barbaric and rude ones treat women as human beings and think it is natural for them to serve water, pour tea, wash clothes and cook.
You don't even treat your wife as a human being, and you still expect her to be virtuous? Sometimes you don't have to buy things, just giving her flowers or small items is also good.
However, looking across rural areas, few men are willing to do this.
"Damn it!" Li Shiwei felt his back teeth broken when he heard this.
Lin Heng glanced at him and smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth. He liked to see this kind of expression.
After dinner, Lin Heng took his wife and children home.
After coaxing her daughter to sleep, Xiulan asked helplessly, "Why don't you let me take off my clothes before going to bed?"
Lin Heng grinned and said, "Because I want to peel it off bit by bit myself."
These words stunned Xiulan and her face turned red.
"You are so bad!" she gritted her teeth.
Lin Heng gave a wicked grin, threw his wife to the ground, and took off her clothes one by one with his own hands. It was like opening a gift bit by bit. It was wonderful.
I was also thinking about buying more clothes for my wife. The experience of different skin colors is completely different. No matter how hard it is, I can't let my wife suffer.
Xiulan turned her head away when Lin Heng looked at her, feeling as nervous as if she had just gotten married.
In the dim light, Xiulan's snow-white skin was like a peeled egg, her neck was like a swan, and her figure was well-proportioned. Her long legs were together, and her hands were grasping the bed sheets, making her look somewhat pitiful.
Lin Heng suddenly became more excited and pounced on his beautiful wife.
"Hmm~"
…
The next morning, Lin Heng was awakened by Xiulan. When he opened his eyes, Xiulan was looking at him with her chin in her hand.
"It's half past five. You have to get up and go fishing. I guess they will come to call you soon." Xiulan said with a smile.
"Okay, get up right away."
Lin Heng didn't stay in bed for a moment. He got up and put on his clothes.
"Is fishing so attractive?" Xiulan asked in surprise. She thought Lin Heng would stay in bed after all, he was so tired last night.
"Of course, this matter cannot be delayed. Wait until I come back with the big fish."
Lin Heng said with a smile, put on his shoes and went out.
After washing his face and eating the shredded potato steamed bun that Xiulan had made yesterday, Lin Heng made a large bowl of corn paste to feed Hongzao.
After it finished drinking, it was led to the road. At this time, Li Shiwei, his father, and Lin Yue had also gotten up.
"Lin Heng, you got up early enough." Li Shiwei shouted with a smile.
"Of course we have to. Let's get the carriage ready quickly and set off directly." Lin Heng waved his hand and smiled. Although his waist was sore, it would never stop him from going fishing.
Several people quickly assembled the carriage and loaded the things prepared yesterday.
"I'm leaving, wife." Lin Heng returned to the room and said to his wife.
"Be careful and don't go swimming in the river. The Huangtan River is too deep." Xiulan held his hand and warned him.
"Don't worry, I can't bear to see you become a widow."
Lin Heng chuckled, hugged his wife and kissed her.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, stop saying such unlucky things!" Xiulan slapped him and glared at him.
"I'm leaving."
Lin Heng said with a smile, turned around and ran away. He did not take Xiongba with him, as he kept him to protect his wife.
"shelf!"
As the carriage drove, the four of them quickly rushed towards Huangtan Town.
Most of the road from Hongfeng Mountain to Huangtan Town is downhill, so Hongzao ran very fast with four people in tow.
It was just dawn and the sun was still on the other side of the mountain. The four people were having a heated discussion.
"Where should we go to fry fish? Upstream or downstream of the Huangtan River?" Lin Yue asked.
"By the way, uncle, where did you go for bombings before?" Lin Heng asked curiously.
"We must go downstream. Go down along the river. There is a section with no houses below. We will go there to set up a nest and then blow it up twice in the afternoon." Li Baiquan said with a smile.
"Okay then." Everyone nodded.
The autumn mornings are chilly and a little cold in the wind. The wild chrysanthemums on the roadside are wilted. There are red cotinus and orange maple trees everywhere on both sides of the river. There are also trees of Pyracantha laden with red fruits on the roadside.
The scenery is so beautiful that I can’t help but feel a lot of emotion when I look up and appreciate it.
Soon, everyone arrived at Huangtan Town and came to Lin Heng's store.
In front of the store, Grandpa Gao was doing morning boxing exercises. When he saw Lin Heng and his four companions, he asked curiously, "Xiao Lin, why are you guys coming down so early?"
"Uncle Gao, we are going to go fishing in the lower reaches of the Huangtan River. Are you coming?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.
"Fishing? Then I will definitely go." Grandpa Gao's eyes lit up, he stopped practicing boxing, and went into the house to pack his things.
"Brother Lin." Wang Zhou came out to greet him after washing his face.
Lin Heng nodded, looked at him and said, "I'll tie the horse in the backyard in a while, you can get me some grass to feed it."
"It's okay, Brother Lin, just leave it to me." Wang Zhou nodded with a smile.
"By the way, I told the girl myself that she doesn't have anyone she likes. Come with me to meet him in a few days." Lin Heng patted his shoulder again and said.
Wang Zhou smiled shyly and said gratefully: "Okay, thank you Brother Lin."
Lin Heng shook his head and smiled. This kid was really nervous. How could he be so scared?
After tying up the horses, the men took their stuff and set off. This time they carried 20 kilograms of boiled corn and sweet potatoes for baiting.
There are also two bottles of fishing bait specially prepared by Lin Heng, made from sweet potato honey.
"Let's go." After packing up their things, the five of them set out together towards the lower reaches of the Huangtan River.
"This autumn scenery is really beautiful." Grandpa Gao said with a smile.
As we go down, the Huangtan River is sandwiched by steep mountains. The mountains here are tall and have relatively few trees, mostly small trees such as Cotinus coggygria. The red and yellow colors complement each other, and because it is close, it feels even more shocking.
"I am just a drop in the ocean. How sad it is that my life is so short." Lin Heng sighed. At times like this, he always feels his own insignificance.
"You are well-educated and speak well," Grandpa Gao praised.
"Haha, Uncle Gao, which place do you think is more suitable for fishing? We also brought explosives this time and are ready to blow him up." Lin Heng asked with a smile.
"Oh, I see. Then I know a place where there must be big fish." Grandpa Gao nodded.
"Where is it?" Lin Heng asked curiously.
"It's not far, just one or two kilometers down." Grandpa Gao nodded.
Going down, the river became narrower and the water became much deeper. Everyone was walking on a mountain path.
About two kilometers later, the five people came to a large backwater bend. The protruding mountains on both sides caused the river to make an S-shaped bend.
The river water was emerald green and dark, and the bottom could not be seen. The flow rate also became much slower. As soon as everyone arrived, they saw a big carp jumping out of the water, with beautiful scales emitting golden light.
"Isn't this a nice place?" Grandpa Gao asked with a smile.
"It's really good. I must catch this big carp today." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Then let's get started. We'll dig a nest in the two confluence bays, inside and outside. When we finish fishing in the afternoon, we'll start fishing directly." Li Shiwei said with a smile.
"Okay, let's get started. The sooner we build the nest, the sooner the fish will come." Li Baiquan nodded.
Lin Heng divided the bait into two parts, one place with ten kilograms of homemade sweet potatoes and corn. He also prepared the bamboo fishing poles. He could start fishing after putting on his homemade seven-star floating fishing line.
The five people dispersed and found their own seats.
Lin Heng found a place where the water was more than three meters deep, hung a corn on the fishing rod, weighed down the purple bamboo fishing rod with a stone, and leaned on the big rock behind him to rest.
Grandpa Gao chose a location three meters downstream from Lin Heng, which was also about two and a half meters away. He also hung Lin Heng’s homemade corn.
Li Shiwei went upstream of Lin Heng and got a five-meter-long bamboo pole, and fished at a very far distance.
He glanced at Lin Heng and said with a smile: "I will definitely catch a big fish today."
"I hope so." Lin Heng smiled and felt that even if Li Shiwei was a novice with good luck, there was a high probability that he would not be able to grasp it.
His elder brother and uncle were further downstream, where the water was one and a half meters deep. They were using earthworms and preparing to catch crucian carp.
Just a few minutes after everyone threw the fishing rod into the water, Lin Yue cheered: "Holy crap, we caught a fish!"
A few people looked over and saw a small crucian carp being pulled up by him. They were extremely excited.
"It looks like there are a lot of fish." Grandpa Gao said with a smile.
"This crucian carp feels so good to pull up." Lin Yue caught the fish and threw it into a homemade cloth bag fish guard while speaking.
"I caught a fish too, but oops, it fell off!" Li Baiquan, who was at the outside, suddenly cried out in surprise. He pulled up a big white striper, but it ran away as soon as it flew out of the water.
"The hook is too big. I advise you to use corn instead to catch bigger fish." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Just use earthworms, they work very well." The two men shook their heads. They just wanted to catch fish, no matter the size.
Lin Heng shook his head and looked at the water, thinking that it was impossible to come up empty-handed today. There should be a lot of fish in this river.
Time passed little by little, and Brother Lin Heng and his uncle caught a crucian carp every now and then. They were so happy that they even watched the float when they urinated. They had already become two qualified fishermen.
In a blink of an eye, an hour had passed and there was still no movement from hanging the corn. Li Shiwei couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and ran to Lin Heng to chat.
As they chatted, Lin Heng suddenly said, "Yours is floating."
Li Shiwei looked back, rushed forward, grabbed the fishing rod with both hands and pulled it up with all his strength. A fish was pulled out of the water and fell on the stone wall behind him. With a snap, the fish stopped moving.
Lin Heng shook his head and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! You are so unlucky to have caught this fish."
If the line and the pole hadn't been strong enough, they would have broken by now.
"Haha, I was a little excited. I thought it was a very big fish, but it turned out to be only about half a pound." Li Shiwei laughed and threw the half-dead carp into Lin Heng's homemade fish guard.
Lin Heng could only shake his head and sigh that newbies have good luck.
"It looks like your bait is good. You caught a fish so quickly." Grandpa Gao said with a smile.
As he was speaking, his seven-star float began to move. With a gentle pull, the purple bamboo fishing rod instantly became a big curved bow.
"Oh my god, it's a big fish!" Lin Heng was shocked and quickly picked up the fish basket.
Grandpa Gao leisurely reeled in the fish, exerting force left and right with skillful and graceful movements.
A few minutes later, the fish came out of the water. It was a carp weighing more than two kilograms. Lin Heng seized the opportunity and scooped it up with a net.
"Hey, your bait is really good." Grandpa Gao looked at the fish and laughed.
"Of course. This is the result of my careful research based on the habits of fish." Lin Heng said with a smile.
The fish of 1983 would never have imagined how many bait formulas the anglers of later generations had developed in order to catch them. Nor did they know to what extent the conflict between the anglers of later generations and the fish would develop. It can be said that various schools of thought were rampant in the world.
Now, Lin Heng just attacked casually, and the fish of this era had no ability to resist at all.
He only made a slight move and he was already invincible.
I don’t know why, but his fish float hasn’t moved for more than two hours. Lin Heng couldn’t help but wonder if his aura was too strong and all the fish were scared away.
Li Shiwei seemed to have noticed this as well, and asked with a smile, "Why can't you catch any fish yet?"
Lin Heng remained calm and composed: "Haste makes waste, and small gains will lead to big failures. What do you know? I am trying to catch a big fish."
Grandpa Gao smiled and gave a thumbs up: "You have reached a certain level."
Snap! ! A big carp jumped out from Lin Heng's float and fell into the water again.
Lin Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Keep going, I want to see how crazy you can be."
"I guess the bait you put there is too heavy, so the fish don't even look at your bait. Let's change it to another place." Grandpa Gao said with a smile.
"I thought so too." Lin Heng smiled and nodded, took the rod and went out to find another place to fish.
He headed for the lower bend, deciding to test the water there.
He found a location close to the cliff and threw down the fishing rod. A few seconds later, the seven-star float suddenly moved. Lin Heng quickly reached out and grabbed the fishing rod. After the seven-star float went down a little more, he instantly lifted the rod and completed the fish-stealing action.
Feeling the pulling force from the fishing rod, Lin Heng was not panicked at all. He lifted it, waited for it to exert force, and then released it, repeating this cycle over and over again. He had a lot of fun. It was not easy to catch a fish, so he had to have fun with it.
"It's true that moving a tree can bring life. I caught a fish immediately after changing location." Lin Heng shook his head and sighed. He didn't catch any fish in the whole morning, but he caught one in seconds after changing location.
Fishing is so magical and full of unknowns.
When he pulled the fish out of the water, he couldn't help but be surprised: "I actually caught a red carp, this is too lucky."
"Red carp?" Lin Yue ran over with a scoop net to look.
Lin Heng had already caught a beautiful red carp. He smiled and said, "It seems like you're going to make a fortune if you can catch a red carp."
As he spoke, he scooped up the fish.
Lin Heng took a look and found that the fish was not big, just over one pound, but he was still very happy to catch a red carp.
"I'm really lucky. I'm going to take this back and keep it in the fish pond." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"I'll release the fish for you." Lin Yue nodded.
After catching this fish, there was no movement here at Lin Heng's place, but he was not in a hurry. He lay on the big bluestone, looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, feeling the autumn breeze blowing across his cheeks.
Time slowly passed and it was 12 noon. Everyone else stopped eating, and the sun was a bit hot, so they found a place to eat.
"What time will the explosion start in the afternoon?" Li Shiwei was already impatient.
Who would want to go fishing if they can just blow the fish to death?
"The explosion will start at four or five o'clock." Li Baiquan thought for a while and said with a smile.
"Okay." Everyone was eating steamed buns and looking forward to the fried fish in the afternoon.
After dinner, when Lin Heng went to check his fishing rod, he suddenly saw a huge black figure floating on the water by the river.
Plop!!
Seeing him, the black shadow swung its tail and dived into the water.
"Damn, such a big black fish." Lin Heng exclaimed.
When Lin Heng mentioned snakehead, Grandpa Gao immediately remembered what happened before: "You said before that there is a way to catch snakehead, what is it?"
"I'll go find something first and then demonstrate it to you." Lin Heng said, and went to the upper reaches of the river to find something.
He found a small pool on the riverbed, and indeed he saw his target in it - a green frog, neither big nor small.
After catching it, Lin Heng took it back, took out the fishing line and fish hook, and tied them up, and hung the fish hook on the frog's belly.
"Is it okay now?" Grandpa Gao asked curiously.
"Yes, that's good." Lin Heng nodded. He got a ten-meter-long fishing line, tied the frog to one side and a wooden stick to the other side and stepped on it.
Lin Heng threw the frog towards the place where the black fish had just appeared, and immediately the frog began to struggle on the water surface.
Lin Heng reeled in the fishing line and pulled it back little by little. If there was no effect, he changed direction and continued to throw it.
Just when he threw it near the opposite shore for the eighth time, a huge splash of water suddenly appeared. A black shadow in the splash swallowed the frog in one gulp, then swam towards the deep water with a flick of its tail.
"I caught it!" Lin Heng said in surprise. He picked up the wooden stick and started to reel in the fish. The black fish jumped wildly on the water surface.
"I really caught it, that's amazing." Grandpa Gao said in shock. It was the first time he had seen this fishing method.
Lin Heng smiled as he reeled in the fishing line: "Black fish like live bait. You can catch them with frogs or live whitebait."
"So that's how it is." Everyone understood.
Lin Heng dragged the big black fish forward for five minutes before he finally pulled it to his side and caught it.
"Oh my God, this one is half a meter long." Li Shiwei said in shock.
Lin Yue was also surprised and said: "This must be seven or eight kilograms. This fish is probably the biggest fish we caught today."
Lin Heng held his head high and chest puffed out, his face full of smiles. Everything was said without words. This was the skill of a master.
Everyone looked at the black fish again and again. It tasted much better than carp.
"I don't know if there are other black fish in this pond. I hope I can catch a few fish in the afternoon." Li Baiquan said with emotion.
"It's hard to say, maybe there is more." Lin Heng smiled and shook his head.
Everyone returned to their fishing spots chatting and laughing, but fishing in the afternoon was not as good as in the morning.
Logically speaking, this season is the time when fish are fattening up for the winter, so when they see food, they should open their back teeth and bite it.
But everyone was only catching small fish, which made Lin Heng even angrier. He was using corn, and the damn horses actually ate it, ruining his gaming experience.
"How about just frying them? Teach these cheap fish a lesson!" Lin Heng said angrily. This is not the future. No one will care if you fry fish. These ungrateful fish must be taught a lesson.
"Okay!" Lin Yue nodded.
"I've wanted to fry it for a long time! This fish is too cheap." Li Shiwei said with a smile.
"Then start frying." Grandpa Gao didn't want to fish anymore, mainly because frying fish was more attractive. A real man likes to watch explosions.
"Okay, let's pack up and take the fish upstream, otherwise they will all be killed by the explosion." Li Baiquan said.
Lin Heng waved his hand: "Except for the black fish and red carp, just throw the others on the shore. It doesn't matter whether they live or die."
After packing up everything, Lin Heng and others went downstream with scoop nets, waiting to catch the fish as they floated downstream.
The people responsible for setting off the bombs were Grandpa Gao and Li Baiquan. They each had a kerosene bottle filled with explosives and detonators.
"Stay away from me, I'll count to five and then we'll throw it together." Grandpa Gao glanced at Lin Heng and the others, then said to Li Baiquan.
"Okay." Li Baiquan nodded.
The two men lit up their cigarettes, and Grandpa Gao said, "Five, four, three, two, one, throw it!!"
The two men lit the fuse and threw it into the water. The kerosene bottle was tied with an iron block, so it quickly sank into the water.
After a few seconds, two huge splashes of water shot up with a bang, exploding seven or eight meters high. Then Lin Heng and others heard a loud bang.
The sound of the explosion spread throughout the valley, echoing continuously.
"Oh my god!" Lin Heng was shocked. It was so spectacular.
Everyone ran upwards, and as the dense bubbles on the water surface disappeared, all they saw was a sea of white, with fish of all sizes floating all over the river.
"Damn, this is so exciting! This is what happens when you don't eat the bait." Lin Heng couldn't help but cheer. This was so cool.
"Oh, that's so cool!" Li Shiwei also cheered loudly.
"Oh my god, look over there, what a big fish!" Lin Yue suddenly cheered and pointed upstream. An unexpectedly large fish flipped out.
Sorry, the update is late again today (end of this chapter)
