Chapter 21 Rebirth of the Fishing Master
When they arrived at the river, Xiulan and Caiyun washed clothes together. The newly bought clothes also had to be washed before they could be worn cleanly.
Lin Heng was responsible for killing grass carp and taking care of his daughter Xiaoxia at the same time.
But now this task was given to Xiongba. Xiaoxia chased Xiongba and played throwing sticks.
One throws and the other picks up, they are so happy, and from time to time you can hear the excited barking of dogs and the crisp laughter of little girls.
Lin Heng was an experienced fisherman in his previous life, so killing fish was a piece of cake for him. He could remove the scales, gills and gut the fish in one go.
"Xiongba, it's time to eat meat."
Lin Heng threw the fish entrails to Xiongba.
“Ouch!!”
Seeing the meat, Xiongba rushed over and started eating voraciously.
It is very difficult for a poor dog to eat meat.
"Go~"
The little girl's pronunciation of the word "dog" was not very realistic, and Xiongba reached out to grab the food he was eating.
"No, you can't catch it!"
Lin Heng patted her little hands.
"Wow~"
Xiaoxia pouted immediately, staggered to her mother Xiulan, hugged her arm, pointed at Lin Heng and said something incoherent that no one could understand.
But from her extremely aggrieved expression, it can be seen that she was complaining, saying that her father beat her.
Lin Heng couldn't help but laugh, and spread his hands and said, "Is it a beating if I touch you? Is that unreasonable?"
“Woo woo~~”
Seeing that Lin Heng was still smiling, Xiaoxia opened her pouting mouth wide and let out a loud cry.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I won't hit you again!"
Lin Heng quickly admitted his mistake and walked over to hug her.
"Ah, wow! (｀⌒メ)"
Xiaoxia turned her head away, held her mother's hand tightly, and cried even louder.
Xiulan couldn't wash the clothes anymore. She dried her hands, turned back and hugged her daughter, looked at her and said, "Dad didn't hit me wrongly, but you are not allowed to touch dirty things."
Hearing this, the little girl's expression froze, as if she was saying, "Mom, how could you do this? Dad beat me, you have to avenge me."
"Next time you do this, I will hit your hand."
Xiulan said something, threw her into the backpack, and continued washing clothes.
"Woo woo~"
Xiaoxia cried twice, and when she found no one was paying attention to her, she turned her head away angrily and began pulling the yellow flowers on the bushes next to her, as if to vent her emotions.
Lin Heng wanted to hug her, but she refused and started crying when he hugged her.
"Deer, little ancestor, you can play by yourself."
Lin Heng is having a headache. It is so difficult to take care of the child.
He killed the remaining fish and fed its entrails to Xiongba, making this guy's belly full.
It rubbed Lin Heng's leg vigorously, and Lin Heng touched its head: "Go play with Xiaoxia."
“Woof woof!!”
As if he understood Lin Heng's signal, Xiongba reluctantly ran to Xiaoxia and licked her hand. Soon, a clear laugh spread.
Children are like this, their anger comes quickly and ends quickly.
Lin Heng felt a little bored watching his wife and sister washing clothes.
"Wife, give me that little pin." Lin Heng said, pointing at a two-centimeter-long golden pin that Xiulan had just taken off.
"What are you doing?"
Xiulan was puzzled for a moment and gave the pin to Lin Heng.
Lin Heng took the pin, disassembled it, sharpened it on the stone man, and then bent it to make a fish hook.
Get a cotton thread as the fishing line and a thin bamboo tip as the fishing rod, and a small fishing rod for fishing micro-objects in a stream is ready.
The bait is also simple, you can find earthworms by turning over a stone under the bushes.
He has been addicted to fishing for a long time, but platform fishing is not popular in China yet, so he has to make all kinds of tools by himself.
"Brother, are you going fishing?"
Caiyun looked at Lin Heng's equipment with suspicion.
Lin Heng's voice suddenly became higher: "Why? You don't believe I can catch it?"
You can question anything, but you cannot question the fisherman's inability to catch fish.
Even if I can't catch any fish, I can still catch crabs, frogs, and some plants in the fields. How is it possible that I can't catch any fish?
"I think it's a long shot. You'd better poison the fish. Don't you think so, sister-in-law?" Caiyun shook her head.
Xiulan looked at Lin Heng's equipment, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
Lin Heng was immediately dissatisfied: "You are my wife, and you don't believe that I can catch fish?"
"Honey, poisoning fish is a good idea. We can harvest a lot at one time." Xiulan said with a blink of her eyes.
"Very well, today I must show you what I would do if I caught a fish?" Lin Heng felt insulted.
"Brother, if you catch something, I will wash your clothes for the next month. If you don't catch anything, you have to go to the mountain and catch a squirrel."
Caiyun said with a giggle.
"No problem." Lin Heng patted his chest and looked at Xiulan again: "Wife, how about you?"
"Me?" Xiulan looked up and thought for a while, then said, "I didn't expect it."
Lin Heng: "...If I catch you, you wash my feet. If I don't catch you, how about I wash your feet?"
Xiulan blinked and remembered that Lin Heng had been touching her feet that night. Could it be that her husband liked her feet very much?
"Okay." She finally agreed.
"Then watch carefully, I am going to show my magical powers."
Lin Heng strung the earthworms together, walked to the pool above, and lay down to fish.
There is no need for a float in the clear river water, and you can tell at a glance whether the fish has taken the hook.
Lin Heng thought this was too easy. He could definitely catch the stream grouper in the river. They probably had never seen what a fish hook looked like.
After the hook was in place, not long after, two creek groupers came out from under the rock. They had obviously discovered the food and after hesitating for only two seconds, they could not wait to take the bite.
Lin Heng, who saw it all very clearly, was so excited that he immediately lifted the rod, but with just a snap, the fish fell directly into the water.
“Is this all decoupled?”
Lin Heng was speechless. Feeling a little embarrassed, he quickly cast his fishing rod again.
But this time, the creek groupers didn’t come out at all. There were only toothpick-sized ones tearing there, which was impossible to catch.
"Is the stream grouper here so magical?" Lin Heng was surprised. It was obviously easy to catch.
"Second brother, we will finish washing our clothes soon. If you still can't catch any fish, it won't count." Caiyun said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will definitely catch it before you finish washing your clothes." Lin Heng didn't believe it. As a veteran angler, it was impossible for him not to catch brook grouper.
We found another pond and found that the stream groupers in it were all quite big. We even saw two big black ones that were as big as a palm.
Lin Heng quickly threw the fishing hook down. The so-called "big black" is the name for a particularly large stream grouper, which has a black body and a huge size.
The Shiban River is relatively small and there are few species of fish, including brook grouper, sand snakehead, loach, sand loach, yellow catfish, and peach blossom fish.
There are no fish such as crucian carp, grass carp and bream. You have to go to the Huangtan River in the town to fish for these fish. The main channel of the river is four or five kilometers away from here.
In the Shiban River, the most common species are the brook grouper and the ground tiger, while the yellow catfish and the horse-mouthed catfish are SSR and are extremely rare.
This time, Lin Heng was very patient and waited until they had eaten the fish before lifting the rod.
"What's going on?"
Soon, Lin Heng showed a puzzled expression. Why were the fish here swimming around in a mess but not biting the hook? This was too fake, wasn't it?
"You bastard, you really don't know what's good for you. Don't force me to use poison!" Lin Heng was a little angry and embarrassed. Was he going to come up empty-handed on his first fishing trip after his rebirth?
This is a great insult to him as a veteran fisherman.
“Oh my god!!”
Suddenly, Lin Heng let out a scream, quickly took two steps back, and even dropped the pole.
