Chapter 8 Fishing
There is no shortage of fishing nets and other tools in coastal fishing villages, but in the past, his strength was not enough, but now his strength has increased a lot, so I want to give it a try.
The net was five or six meters long and was as thick as a goose egg. It was a bit difficult to hold it in both hands, and it was even more difficult to dance. Fang Chen tried the fishing movement several times, and waved it very slowly and had a great inertia. He could not stop immediately after swinging it out, and was taken out for a distance.
His face looked a little ugly, as if he was overestimating himself. After all, he was only thirteen years old and his net was not a one-time explosion like a stone mill. If he had this speed, it would be difficult to catch fish if he had to add the resistance to the Shanghai water.
But he had come and couldn't just go back like that. He still stubbornly stepped into the sea.
"Brother Chen!"
Several teenagers immediately screamed. Fang Chen was in danger before, but they were still scared.
"It's okay, I won't go far, Xiao Yu'er, please watch it. If there is a big boat, please remind me." Fang Chen turned around and couldn't help comforting when he saw their worried expressions, but for being careful, he still asked Xiao Yu'er to stare at it.
Despite this, several teenagers stopped moving and looked at him worriedly. Xiao Yuer even raised her toes and kept looking into the distance of the sea.
Fang Chen stopped until the sea water was not over his calf and began to look for fish.
There is no pollution in this world, the sea water is very clear, and you can see the seabed at a glance in the shallow sea. Perhaps the water surface is too shallow and you have never seen big fish. They are all small fish as big as fingers, which are similar to what you ate last night.
He looked at the grid size of the catch nets and forgot it, let them go.
After waiting for a while, a sea fish that was slightly larger than an adult slap entered his sight. Fang Chen was happy and hurriedly put the catch net close to the sea and quietly came over.
The sea fish were unaware of it, swimming unfastly, and gradually approached the fishing range.
"It's now!"
When the sea fish arrived in front of the fishing net, Fang Chen, who had already prepared it, instantly stabbed his horse, sank his waist, whispered in a low voice, and swung his arms suddenly...
Looking at the empty net, Fang Chen rubbed his nose, which was so embarrassing.
Damn it, it was only half a foot away, but I couldn't catch it! The net just reached the head of the fish, and the fish turned around and swung its tail and disappeared.
The sea water resistance was greater than he expected, and the net was really heavy.
Just then, the sea water had become turbid, and he was unwilling to change his place again.
Punch the horse, sink the waist, exert force, change the place... Punch the horse, sink the waist, exert force, change the place... Punch the horse, sink the waist, exert force, change the place... Repeat the cycle...
Fang Chen was almost desperate, this job was really too difficult!
"Brother Chen, why don't we go back?" Yu Shan couldn't bear it anymore and said.
"No, try again!" Fang Chen rejected it, and he could not be willing to catch any of them. Damn it, it would be great if he had the martial arts of fishing.
Huh? No, the net can be regarded as a long stick, but there is an extra net bag. I just caught it like sweeping, but because of the net bag, the sea water resistance is very strong. What if I change the method?
Thinking of this, he put the net flat against the sea, let the net bag hang directly on the sea, then he sank his waist and exerts force, and suddenly pierces into the sea.
"Sure enough! Without a net bag to catch the sea water, the resistance is greatly reduced, and using thorns is much more labor-saving than sweeping through the sea water. I am so terrible that I am a genius!" Fang Chen was ecstatic, and the corners of his mouth cracked and raised high.
After changing the place again, I calmed down and waited for the fish again. Perhaps because I realized the "Big Way"'s luck had soared. After a while, a big fish that was as long as a ruler came.
Fang Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately held his breath and the net came over little by little. He was worried that the net bag hanging on the sea would cause too much movement, so he didn't dare to move it too fast.
Finally, the distance was reached. Fang Chen's brain was flashing with his stick technique, predicting the direction of the fish swimming. His eyes narrowed, and his hands suddenly held the catcher tightly. His slender arms bulged a layer of shallow muscles, piercing into the seabed and the space between the fish's belly like lightning, and then he picked up the stick technique.
'rinse'
The big fish did not react until it was pulled out of the water and fluttered violently in the mesh bag. However, after leaving the water and falling into the bag, no matter how much it fluttered, it would inevitably walk up the big iron pot.
"I've caught it, I've caught the fish. Xiao Yu'er, come here quickly!"
It was not easy to catch it, even the top student Fang Gao couldn't help but feel a little excited.
“Wow!”
"Big fish, what a big fish!"
The boys all ran over excitedly and saw the big fish with a foot-length length in the net bag, and shouted and jumped excitedly.
This is the first time they have seen such a big fish since they moved to the town. It would be great if the fish they ate before were as big as the palm-sized ones.
Fang Chen grabbed the fish out and weighed it, weighing three or four pounds. This one alone was more harvested than the fish and shrimps that had been picked up for a few days before.
However, this is not enough. The five people eat a lot, and the consumption of martial arts practice will be greater. He guessed that fish have oily fishy fish and will not be as dry as eating alone, but it will cost three or four taels a day, and it will cost five or six pounds or more.
Put the fish into the fish basket, tell them to wait back to the shore, pay attention to the big boat, and continue to start fishing.
It was not until noon that the sun shone brightly and Fang Chen was so tired that he had to finish work and go home.
Although the final harvest did not meet expectations, it was pretty good. He found that using stick techniques was not a long way to try. The smaller the fish, the more flexible it was. Some of them had flat bodies and could rush out of the sea and fly away directly.
On the contrary, larger fish will become more sluggish and will often be caught out of the sea before reacting.
"Be careful when you go back, don't let us see what we have gained. It's best to go into the town with your head down and pretend you haven't got anything." On the way, Fang Chen took the fish basket and reminded him carefully.
The fish basket is quite heavy, and Xiao Yu'er bent her waist with her neck on her hands, but she still blushed and didn't want to let go.
"Yeah!" The few people nodded sensible, and immediately turned into lowering their heads and rushing with a bitter face.
The town is not safe. Due to the threat of Feisha Village, people hardly dare to leave the town. Many people have lost their source of life and the pressure of survival is huge. The whole town is so lifeless that it is very stressful.
Although there are three major families in the town who formed a volunteer and guards to maintain order, robbery and injury still happen occasionally.
If people know their gains, they may not even be able to return home and will be stolen.
Fortunately, the town and streets were very depressed along the way, and people were reluctant to go out without any trouble. Occasionally, they met a few people and saw that they were only a few and a half-old children. At this time, they came out and didn't care about it when they came back dejectedly. Some even laughed at them, just thinking they were hungry and crazy.
When they got home and closed the door, the few people breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the fish basket in Fang Chen's hand, they almost exclaimed.
