After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the small river that Xia Tian mentioned.
Looking at the not-so-wide river in front of her, Chen Qingqing asked suspiciously, "Can there be fish in such a small river?"
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Take it off. There's no doubt there's fish in there."
Qiu Mengyun asked curiously, "How do you know? Did you see a fish jump out?"
Xia Tian shook his head: "Not really, but when I went to change the oil before, I saw someone fishing by the river."
"We don't know if there are fish here, but the local anglers definitely know better than us."
"Since they choose to come here to fish, it means there are 100% fish in this river."
Xie Jinglong also nodded and said, "Yeah! Judging from the water quality and environment of this river, there should be fish."
While chatting, everyone took their fishing rods and started preparing.
He Yunting quickly raised a question: "In the summer, just having a fishing rod isn't enough! We don't have any fish food, so what can we use to fish without bait?"
Xia Tian laughed and said, "Haha! You shouldn't ask me this question. Don't you have a fishing expert right next to you?"
"He should be familiar with this situation. Just ask him directly."
After hearing what Xia Tian said, He Yunting turned her puzzled gaze to Xie Jinglong.
Xie Jinglong smiled and said, "Actually, it's normal to have no bait when fishing in the wild. Usually, we use local materials, such as millet soaked in wine, to make a nest."
"But since we left in such a hurry today, Xiaomi, don't worry about it. Let's just use the simplest and most brutal method and just find earthworms."
Chen Qingqing said in bewilderment, "Ah? Earthworms? Where can we find them? Not to mention that we don't have a shovel, even if we did, we wouldn't be able to dig them out in a short while!"
Xie Jinglong smiled and shook his head: "Don't bother with that. Just move the rocks by the river and you'll definitely find earthworms."
He Yunting: "Are you so sure? What if you can't find it?"
Xie Jinglong said confidently, "It's impossible not to find any. Earthworms love moist, soft soil the most. The soil by the river just meets these conditions, so as long as you turn over the rocks next to the ground, you're sure to find earthworms."
"Wow! There really are earthworms!"
While a few people were chatting, Xia Tian had already started catching earthworms with Qiu Mengyun.
When Xia Tian turned over a stone and found several earthworms underneath, Qiu Mengyun shouted excitedly.
Seeing that Xia Tian and the others were already one step ahead, He Yunting and the others were not willing to be outdone and quickly ran to the side to turn over stones.
Soon, everyone caught earthworms, hung them on the hooks, and started their fishing trip today.
Chen Qingqing and He Yunting hung up the earthworm and left it alone, sitting there and chatting.
As for whether you can catch fish, you can only leave it to fate.
Xie Jinglong took out half of the earthworms he caught and threw them near his hook. He made a simple nest before starting to fish.
It is even easier here in summer. You can start fishing without making any bait.
The only difference between her and some other girls is that in summer, regardless of whether there are any fish on the hook or not, she will pull up the line regularly.
Then remove the earthworm from the water and replace it with a new one.
Just a few minutes later, Xie Jinglong was the first to open.
"Hahaha! Brother Xia, I'm sorry, I caught a fish!"
Xia Tian was not in a hurry at all. He said calmly, "Don't worry. We are competing to see who catches the most fish in the end, not who catches the fish first."
"Catching fish now is nothing. Only the one who laughs last is the real winner."
Xie Jinglong didn't care and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for you to surpass me as soon as possible."
When several girls saw Xie Jinglong catch a fish, they all dropped their fishing rods and ran over to see what kind of fish he had caught.
Chen Qingqing: "Wow! Brother Long, you are amazing. We haven't even made any movement here, and you've already caught a fish."
Qiu Mengyun: "Quickly pull it up and see what kind of fish it is."
He Yunting: "How did you catch it? Why did you catch it when we used the same rod and bait?"
Xie Jinglong laughed and said, "Hehe! This is skill. Otherwise, how do you think I won the third place in the fishing competition? Was it my acting skills?"
As he spoke, he slowly pulled up the fish that had been hooked.
I have to say that Xie Jinglong still has some skills, even though he is using a simple fishing rod that he made himself in the summer.
But his operation was still very steady, and he slipped the fish back very smoothly, without giving the other party any chance to cut the line.
Soon, a black fish weighing about two kilograms appeared in everyone's sight.
After taking it off the hook and throwing it into the bucket behind him, Xie Jinglong laughed and said, "Hehe! Not bad, there are snakehead fish in this river. This fish tastes pretty good."
He Yunting looked at the familiar black fish in the bucket and asked curiously, "Along, is this the kind of fish we often eat with pickled fish?"
Xie Jinglong nodded: "Yes, this is the fish. It is a good choice for making pickled fish or boiled fish."
Perhaps it was because they saw Xie Jinglong catch the fish, the three girls' interest instantly became much higher.
They stopped chatting immediately and ran back to their fishing spots one by one. They began to stare at the float in front of them, hoping that a fish would bite their hook in the next second.
