Dihuazhou is located three miles north of Qingliu Ruins. It is an island in the middle of the Lishui River.
The soil here is not very fertile, but there are large tracts of dill flowers growing there. Therefore, it is a beautiful scene when the dill flowers are in full bloom in autumn, and it attracts a large number of tourists to watch every time.
But it is early spring now, and all the Dihua flowers have no leaves but no flowers. Naturally, there are not many people on Dihua Island.
On this day, Lu Zhong came here driving a small sampan that was about to sink.
Although the sampan was rotten, he borrowed it after a lot of effort.
There was also a small clay pot on the sampan, and there was a faint sound of water splashing inside. It was a secret weapon he had specially prepared.
The clay pots are filled with live bait, which is a small loach called the dragon-whiskered loach, so named because its long and slender snout resembles the legendary dragon's whiskers. Peach blossom mandarin fish likes to eat dragon beard loach. Lu Zhong used a cleaning charm to find out this from the kitchen helper of Jiangwei Pavilion. Every time they cut open the belly of peach blossom mandarin fish, they could see the remains of this small loach, which shows that it has What a love to eat.
What he has to do now is to rock the boat to a reef at the head of Dihua Island.
Lu Zhong didn't know where Yanliu caught the peach blossom mandarin fish in Dihuazhou, but based on his many years of fishing experience in his previous life, this was the most likely place to hide peach blossom mandarin fish near Dihuazhou. After all, the fish There are traces of where to hide.
"Unexpectedly, I ended up living in the most disgusting way in the past!"
Lu Zhong sighed for no reason before pushing the heavy anchor stone tied with hemp rope into the river, so that the small sampan could be fixed in the rapids.
The rotten little sampan made a creaking sound, and the bow of the boat was pulled slightly by the hemp rope. The rapid river current washed away the hull of the boat. The wooden boards everywhere were creaking, and the whole thing looked like it was about to fall apart.
Fortunately, it held up after all.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Zhong took out a roll of fishing line with a small silver hook on it.
There is also a knot above the small hook, with a small stone tied to it to serve as a temporary lead sinker.
Take out a dragon-bearded loach from the clay pot, wrap its slippery body in rags, and then hook the hook to the loach's body. The fishing rig is now considered complete.
Next, is the most important step.
Taking a deep breath, he let out the fishing line in his hand little by little.
In the absence of a suitable fishing rod, Lu Zhong could only choose the hand wire fishing method.
There was a subtle feeling of falling to the bottom, and he knew that the bait had reached the bottom.
The next step is to wait for the possible peach blossom mandarin fish to take the initiative to bite the bait.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Lu Zhong became thirsty due to the strong sun, so he took off the bamboo tube tied around his waist and drank the cold water in the tube.
Suddenly, his left hand wrapped around the fishing line tightened!
A violent struggling feeling immediately came along the fishing line, strangling Lu Zhong's hand until it hurt.
"coming!"
Lu Zhong's eyes lit up, he hurriedly threw the bamboo tube in his hand and began to reel in the thread.
The fish that was hooked was not big, but the pulling force was frighteningly strong. He didn't know what kind of fish he caught, but he just kept pulling hard, trying to pull the fish out of the water as quickly as possible.
If the fish gets into the crevices of the reef, all your efforts will be in vain.
After a long struggle, even his hands were strangled and bleeding, Lu Zhong finally pulled the hooked fish out of the water.
"Wow!"
It's a pity that it's just a touch of silvery white.
Lu Zhong was full of disappointment, but he still pulled the fish weighing three to two kilograms into the boat.
The fish's eyes are big and round, and its neck is obviously tilted up, making it look quite funny.
Although it was not the target fish he wanted to catch, and the fish body did not seem to have spiritual energy leaking out, it was still enough to satisfy his hunger. He just didn't know whether the fish meat was fishy or not, and whether there were many small thorns in the meat.
Thread a straw rope through the fish's gills and tie it up to prevent it from jumping out of the boat.
Lu Zhong took out another dragon-bearded loach and threaded it on the fishhook again.
This time he learned the lesson and wrapped the piece of rag around his hand to prevent it from being strangled again.
After another long wait, there was movement from the fishing line again.
But once you pull it, it feels surprisingly easy.
When I pulled it up and took a look, I found that it was the same strange fish as before.
This little fish was no bigger than three ounces, and you could tell at a glance that it was a little milk fish that had just been born. Who knows how it dared to swallow a dragon-bearded loach that was as thick as a finger, and it was not afraid that it would choke to death.
Rolling his eyes, Lu Zhong took it off the hook, threw it into the water with a backhand.
Looking at the dragon-bearded loaches in the clay pot again, there are not many left, only the last three are left.
After mumbling for a while, he hung the bait on the hook again and put it into the river like the previous two times.
But this time, not long after the bait was put down, a huge force came from the fishing line.
Even though it was covered with a layer of rags, Lu Zhong still felt the pain in his hand from being strangled, and his fingertips soon turned purple-black.
Even so, he still didn't give up.
"What kind of fish? It's so powerful!" Lu Zhong gritted his teeth and pulled wildly, starting a tug of war with the big fish in the water.
For a time, they were evenly matched.
Whoever wins or loses depends on whether Lu Zhong can't hold on and let go first, or whether the fish underneath has exhausted its strength and is unable to resist.
As for whether the fishing line will break? Will the fishhook deform?
Neither of these situations will occur.
The fishing line is braided with "angry cow". Although this kind of weed has the disadvantage of being easy to rot, the pulling force when it is fresh is terrifying. It is estimated that even a large fish weighing hundreds of kilograms will not be able to break it.
As for the fishhook, Lu Zhong used the fine steel sword to replace it.
Even though it is small and inconspicuous, it is made from scraps of the magic weapon.
The hook body is extremely hard and its toughness is also very good.
The only possibility now is that during the crazy struggle, the big fish will tear apart part of its flesh and blood and get rid of the control of the fishhook. This is its only way to get rid of the fishhook.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Zhong's clothes were already wet with sweat.
The fierce mermaid battle finally ended with him winning.
The big fish that lost the ability to resist turned white and surfaced. It turned out to be a fish that it had never seen before.
Lu Zhong was dumbfounded and said blankly: "What kind of fish is this? Why is it weirder than the previous two?"
I saw that the big fish with its belly turned upside down was about five feet long, and its body was covered with fine black scales. The lines on its body did not look like a fish, but were more similar to those of long snakes, including the fish head, which looked almost the same as a snake head.
He wanted to cry but had no tears. After working on it for a long time, he actually managed to pull up such a fish.
Seeing the sunset in the distance about to set over the mountain, Lu Zhong, who was of low cultivation, did not dare to stay in the wild. According to various rumors, this was the time when evil cultivators came out to hunt. He quickly loosened the straw rope tied to the bow of the boat and let the small sampan drift down the river towards Qingliuxu.
Those evil cultivators dare not approach the market during the day, but with the cover of night, they may not.
He has been fishing here for so long, maybe he has been targeted by some evil cultivator.
To be on the safe side, it’s better to run away quickly!
He hurriedly and slowly hurried all the way, and by the time Lu Zhong rowed his boat back to Qingliu Ruins, it was already the time when the lanterns were first lit.
After docking the small sampan on the shore, he wrapped the big fish in cloth and carried it towards Jiangwei Pavilion.
Although Jiangweige may not accept it, it is still good to try your luck.
What if you accept it?
