The moment he lifted the rod, Wu Xie felt a huge pulling force pulling the float and fishing line underwater. The force was so strong that he staggered and his buttocks were lifted off the backpack.
The fat man had been paying attention to this side, and when he saw it, he shouted: "Damn, big guy! It must be a big guy! Don't be in a hurry, just walk it slowly."
Wu Xie bowed and pouted, struggling to pull on the pole. The fishing line became longer and longer, and the pulling force under the water became stronger.
Once the thread was loosened, Wu Xie was dragged forward involuntarily. He could only keep pushing back to try to keep his feet firmly planted on the ground.
In this situation, let alone walking fish, he didn't even dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the fat man was still talking lively, Wu Xie was angry and gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn fat man, you are still watching over there, come here and help me."
"Come on, come on." The fat man saw that it was really difficult for him to walk, so he clicked his tongue, put the pole in his hand under the backpack and fixed it, took off his leather gloves and came over to grab the pole, saying, "I'll give you a chance." It’s no use, let me teach you how to walk this fat fish——”
"Hey hey hey——"
Before Wu Xie could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another huge pulling force, almost pulling him and the fat man out together.
The fat man shouted in horror, "Something's wrong, innocent, something's wrong with this thing. It doesn't seem to be a fish. Let go, let go! If you pull it any further, we will both be dragged into the water."
What kind of fish girl can have so much strength? Wu Xie instantly thought of the elusive Maponim in the lake, and immediately let go without daring to delay any longer.
The fat man also let go, and the fishing rod flew out towards the lake with a swish.
But at this moment, a sound broke through the air and passed between the two of them.
After taking a closer look, there was actually a long whip with a thickness of two centimeters of PVC pipe lying between them. One end was tightly tied to the joint of the flying fishing rod, and the other...
Wu Xie looked back and found that the other end of the whip was being held in Zhang Haixing's hand. The brown-red whip body was stretched straight and crackling under the influence of the two forces.
He couldn't tell what kind of whip it was made of, but it probably wasn't cowhide. If it were cowhide, it would have been stretched long ago.
"Holy shit?" The fat man also turned around and said in surprise, "Auntie, please let go, this thing is not a fish, we have already caught enough fish to eat."
Zhang Haixing didn't say a word, her delicate little face turned red from suppressing it, and the muscles on her cheeks worked together.
The fat man cursed, "This stinky bitch is so stubborn and naive, let's just leave it alone and let her soak her brain in the ice cave and she will wake up."
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Haixing's persistent look and felt that something was wrong. "If she thought it was just a fish on the other end of the fishing line, she wouldn't have kept holding on."
It’s just a fish, and their current situation is not such that they cannot survive without food.
The fat man frowned, "Why is that?"
"I don't know." Wu Xie shook his head and frowned, "But there must be something weird."
At this time, Feng ran down from upstairs in a hurry. While grabbing the whip, he shouted to Wu Xie and Wu Xie, "Wu, Fatty, come and help. Zhang said this thing is very important."
Wu Xie and Wu Xie looked at each other, and then looked at the water. There was no splash in the water like a fish taking a bait. Instead, it was strangely calm, as if there was a person in the water holding the rope.
The fat man said: "Come on, let's help you. Fatty wants to see what kind of monster you have hooked."
It took four people working together to equal the huge force.
The water surface surged one after another, and things in the water seemed to emerge.
The four of them gritted their teeth and worked together to finally break the fishing line, and the thing on the other end of the fishing line fell back into the water.
The strength in his hands suddenly loosened, and the four of them fell into a pile one by one due to the inertia of leaning back. Poor Feng was pressed at the bottom, and the tip of the whip that was thrown back hit the fat man, making him scream in pain. Yelling.
Several people scrambled to get up. Feng ignored the pain all over his body and shouted anxiously, "Did you see clearly? Did any of you see clearly? What is that thing?"
"It seems to be a gray mass." Wu Xie said uncertainly, "The fishing line broke the moment it surfaced, and I couldn't see it clearly. Zhang Haixing, did you see it clearly?"
Zhang Haixing's eyes were the best among everyone present, but she did not answer Wu Xie's question. Instead, she put away the whip and hung it on her waist. She took off her thick coat while walking to the platform.
The others were confused and didn't understand what she was going to do.
"What a bad thing." The fat man said, "That thing down there must be an evil thing. These tiger girls are possessed and want to die."
When Zhang Haixing heard what he said, she turned around and glared at him with disgust, then turned to Wu Xie and Feng and said, "That thing is not a living thing. I have to go into the water to take a look. It may very well be the key to our next move forward."
After that, he put the folded clothes on the platform, moved his hands and feet a few times, and jumped into the water.
The three Wu Xies who were left behind looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The fat man struggled for two seconds and then put the matter behind him. He sniffed and asked Wu Xie to collect the frozen fish on the stack.
Wu Xie asked him if he had one pole left and whether he would fish any more.
"Fishing." The fat man said resolutely, "We don't have much food, and we still have to walk a lot of distance. We finally encountered such wild food. We need to prepare some dry food. You and Feng go up and get these. The fish are all cleaned, then put on the stove and baked into dried fish, and then cut into two-inch pieces for easy storage."
"That's okay."
Wu Xie agreed, and he and Feng carried the fish to the opening under the Lama Temple. One person climbed up first, and the other caught it below. After getting all the fish up, they fetched water from the ice lake and prepared to clean the fish. The scales viscera these.
The scraped offal was taken out to the fat man. The fat man used the extremely fishy offal to re-select a place to make a nest. It was considered that everything was put to good use and nothing was wasted.
Zhang Haixing's time in the water this time was longer than the last time she jumped in to chase Bai Ci. It was so long that the fat man even wondered if she had just burped and drowned down there.
The fat man caught two more fish one after another, and they were still very big.
Wu Xie came down to get the fish, looked into the water, and said, "Why doesn't Zhang Haixing come up? Something happened down there."
"This is unorganized and undisciplined..." The fat man was forced to swallow his words before he finished speaking.
Zhang Haixing's wet head emerged from the water, and she swam to the platform with splashing water. Wu Xie and the fat man quickly joined hands to pull her up.
Seeing that Zhang Haixing's face turned purple and white from the cold, he was unsteady on his feet and was about to fall to the ground with his eyes open.
"Hey, you are so old now, you fall asleep in the freezing cold." Fatty Qier said.
"It's probably due to lack of oxygen and freezing. Come and help. Let's get her back first. She will really freeze to death outside later," Wu Xie said.
The two of them carried her back to the lamasery. When Feng heard the noise, he quickly came out to help. He picked up Zhang Haixing like a fish and carried her to the stove.
The fat man was no longer in the mood for fishing, so he packed up the things on the platform and returned to the temple.
Zhang Haixing was really freezing this time. He was so groggy that he subconsciously leaned towards the heat source, almost touching the hot stove.
Fortunately, the fat man had quick eyesight and quick hands to pull her back, and said unforgivingly, "See if she dares to yell at the fat man when she wakes up, I saved her face."
After thinking about it, he added: "How about I take advantage of this opportunity to ask her to make an IOU. If she doesn't ask for more, it will be enough for thirty or twenty thousand."
"Then I guess she will know it when she wakes up and can blow your head off." Wu Xie said.
Feng interjected: "Mr. Fatty, you can't take advantage of an injured lady."
"Go, go! Peel your fish." The fat man waved his hand like he was shooing away flies, and said scornfully, "As a foreigner, you know this. Fatty, I call this 'reasonable commercialization of kindness.'"
Feng shook his head and continued to deal with the fish scales. (End of chapter)
