When Aqing saw that the puddle was empty, she exclaimed, "Old Fu was right! This puddle looks big, but it's not deep at all."
"Old Fu, how did you make that judgment?"
Old Fu was dumbfounded, staring at the fish swimming in the pit, and didn't hear what A Qing was saying at all.
There was only one voice in the old man's head.
There are so many fish.
There are so many fish.
Wu An stopped the water pump, which had already depleted its luck value, found a puddle, threw the pipe in, and then refilled the water pump's luck value.
start up.
Rumble.
The water pump started operating.
Wu An didn't care, quickly got dressed, and carried the bucket down into the first puddle.
There was still some water at the bottom of the pit.
But the deepest part only reached ankle height. These small puddles were full of splashing fish, and because there were so many fish, the water became murky.
As the saying goes.
It's easy to fish in troubled waters.
Wu An went straight into the water, which showed both skill and daring.
Actually, although he couldn't see clearly what kind of fish it was, its smooth surface made it seem unlike poisonous fish like scorpionfish, which have continuous dorsal fins and well-developed spines.
There are too many fish.
He grabbed one with a casual grab.
The fish wasn't very big, but it was quite strong. I shook it in the water to wash off the mud and dirt on its surface before taking it out.
Old Fu was squatting nearby. When he saw what kind of fish Wu An was holding, he jumped up and exclaimed, "Holy crap, it's a black-haired fish! We can actually catch black-haired fish in this shabby little pit!"
He simply couldn't stay calm.
As an experienced fisherman, I know very well which fish are valuable and which are not. Valuable fish are naturally more difficult to obtain and are rarely encountered.
He had worked on the Chen family's trawlers for so many years and rarely caught black bream, and he had never heard of anyone catching them in the pond.
Wu An could catch Black Hair in any puddle he chose.
This luck is absolutely incredible.
Aqing dressed and went down into the puddle. Hearing Old Fu shouting, she joked, "Old Fu, you're making a fuss over nothing."
“My brother and I caught Black Hair before.”
"This fish is ridiculously expensive."
"It's delicious too."
Wu An glanced at it: "Ah Qing, what are you showing off for?"
"Don't try to show off your skills in front of Guan Yu."
"Old Fu is a fisherman who's been around for decades. What kind of seafood hasn't he eaten? What's a black-haired fish?"
Old Fu blushed upon hearing this.
He had never eaten it before.
Despite being a recipient of government assistance for the elderly and disabled, receiving subsidies, and working on a boat to earn money, he actually lives a very comfortable life, spending all his money on his hobbies.
His room was filled with nothing but alcohol.
Even if someone were selling black carp worth several hundred yuan per kilogram, I wouldn't be willing to buy it to eat.
He'd be better off buying wine with that money.
Wu An didn't notice Old Fu's reaction. He bent down and caught fish in the puddle, and soon threw the whole Black Hair family into the bucket.
Aqing also bent over to catch fish, happily showing off that she had also caught a black-haired one.
Wu An nodded with a smile.
The last time I encountered Black Hair was when I had just bought a water pump, and I recouped my investment in just one day.
In less than half an hour, the 12 points of luck boosted by the water pump were completely depleted, and this trip could still make a fortune.
Old Fu was still in a daze when A Qing called out, "Old Fu, what are you standing there for? Come down here quickly!"
Old Fu quickly responded, dressed himself, and also carried the bucket down into the puddle.
As a result, he stepped on it.
He felt something step on, reached under his foot and pulled out a crushed flower crab, which broke his heart.
Wow, there's so much stuff in this puddle!
Not long after.
The three of them swept the puddle clean.
The puddle wasn't very big to begin with, and all three of them had a great haul. Even though Old Fu was the last one to come down, he actually caught the most.
Cool.
That was awesome.
Catching the fish so happily made Old Fu feel as if he had returned to his youth.
His family didn't own a boat and couldn't go out to sea. He was also too young to go out to sea on a boat, so he often went to Panshui Pit.
Back then, marine resources were abundant. You could find a good spot in any watery area and have a great harvest. Often, before you could finish catching all the seafood, the tide would come in.
Although we were dirt poor and often went hungry, we were truly happy every day.
One meal can last all day, and by the time you get home, you're covered in mud.
Even though you brought back a lot of seafood, you still couldn't escape getting a beating when you got home.
Why?
Because he got his clothes dirty, jumping around in and out of the puddles could easily damage them.
Back then, seafood was cheap, and people often had trouble getting too much seafood to eat. To avoid waste, they could only feed it to poultry.
He often felt inferior because he could only eat sea cucumbers and abalone, and was ridiculed by the villagers who said that his family was so poor that they could only afford such seafood.
Sometimes, while eating and chatting with people, he would marvel at how good life is now! He has white rice every day. Back then, life was tough; he could only afford abalone every day, and young people would accuse him of showing off.
The three climbed out of the pit.
Aqing poured the seafood out of the bucket, and he and Lao Fu sorted it out briefly, while Wu An went to check the situation in the second puddle.
Luck points have been depleted again!
Wu An was overjoyed.
Looking expectantly at the puddle where the water level had dropped considerably, I wondered what goodies might be inside.
When the second puddle was empty, Aqing and Lao Futou finished sorting and came over with their buckets. Seeing the small puddles everywhere, they were both overjoyed.
The three of them went down into the pit together.
Aqing saw a fish splashing in the water, reached out and grabbed it, lifted it up and shouted, "Brother, look what this is!"
Wu An and Old Fu looked over.
"Three cuts!"
The two shouted in unison.
Wu An suddenly realized that the value of having his luck points cleared was indeed extraordinary.
This "life-saving island" has really good resources.
"It was three cuts, wasn't it?"
"Am I seeing things?"
"We caught some in the trawl net last time too, and they were worth over a thousand yuan per kilogram!"
Old Fu shouted excitedly.
Wu Anduo glanced at the three-knife fish a few more times and said, "The one that Aqing caught weighs more than a pound. It should sell for 1,500 yuan a pound."
Old Fu, seeing that Wu An spoke with such conviction, asked with suspicion, "You've caught them too?"
Wu An smiled and nodded.
Old Fu opened his mouth slightly, but then closed it again; he didn't know what to say.
Compared to Wu An and A Qing, he seemed like a complete novice who had never seen the world.
Next, let's discuss this.
The three of them split up to search, only calling out when they encountered stones that needed to be moved together. Aqing soon found another three-knife stone, and Wu An was also lucky, catching the largest three-knife stone, which weighed over three pounds, making him extremely happy.
Old Fu was an experienced fisherman, skilled at catching fish and shrimp, and had caught the most seafood. However, he had not yet found a three-knife fish. Hearing A Qing and Wu An shouting from time to time, he scanned the puddle with sharp eyes, also wanting to catch a three-knife fish.
at last.
The three climbed out of the pit.
"Old Fu, you're amazing! You caught the most again. The bucket is overflowing with seafood!" Aqing praised him with a smile after seeing this.
Old Fu snorted, feeling that A Qing was embarrassing him.
Wu An went to check the third puddle, but was greatly disappointed. His luck only dropped by 2 points, indicating that this puddle was not very good.
The three of them searched the area thoroughly, but together they hadn't even caught half a bucket of seafood.
The fourth pond wasn't much better, mostly teeming with rock crabs. After working like this for over an hour, Wu An couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
There are still several luck points left to use.
Seeing this, Aqing volunteered to choose a puddle, but her luck wasn't great, and she only used up 2 luck points. Fortunately, the puddle wasn't big, and it didn't take long.
Even the smallest mosquito is still meat.
The three of them still went into the water pit and searched around for a while. Ah Qing was very disappointed. He turned to look at Old Fu and said, "Old Fu, the tide is coming in soon."
"I estimate that it will only be able to create another puddle."
"You should take a look right away."
"Choose a puddle."
Old Fu looked at Wu An.
Wu An nodded and said, "Aqing is right."
"Aqing and I were just guessing. You have experience, so try to choose someone reliable."
After setting up the pond, it was a little past 3 o'clock. Then I went to retrieve the longline fishing rod. After retrieving the longline, I had to head back immediately, as I didn't have time to fish and waste my luck points.
Although there aren't many luck points left, there are still a few points left, which would be worth at least several hundred yuan if converted into money.
He felt it was a real shame to waste it like that.
Upon hearing this, Old Fu felt immense pressure.
