Chapter 50: The Fisherman Never Leaves Empty The entire sky was reflected in the lake, making the surface of the lake a turquoise blue. When the wind blows, ripples appear on the water surface. The ripples were getting bigger and bigger. Li Mu felt a sinking in his hand. The straight branch suddenly bent down and the fishing line became tight. "There's a fish!" Li Mu turned his head to look at Brother Nan, his tone somewhat excited. He seldom goes fishing, but he has paid to catch goldfish at an amusement park before, but he ended up giving away dozens of dollars to the merchant for nothing. I didn't expect that there would be fish caught so quickly in this mountain lake. "Don't pull the rod violently. Use your wrist to lift it up first, so that the fish can firmly bite the hook." Brother Nan stared at the water surface and said, "Reel the fish in slowly." Li Mu started to fish according to Brother Nan's instruction. Following the force transmitted from the fishing rod, he could clearly feel the fish struggling underwater, and the fishing line moving quickly left and right on the water surface.
Gradually, Li Mu found that the fish's struggling force weakened. Without Brother Nan's teaching, he used his elbow to support the branch, exerted force with his wrist and pulled upward, and a fish came out of the water. "Oh! It's a carp." Nan put down the fishing rod in her hand, turned around, took out a small bucket from her bag and scooped half a bucket of lake water, "Put it in quickly." Li Mu reeled in the rod with one hand and held the fishing line with the other hand, bringing the fish to him. The fish was still struggling by swinging its tail. Brother Nan caught the fish, removed the hook and put it in the bucket. "Yes, are you sure you don't know how to fish?" Sister Nan suspected that this person was trying to trick her. She, the descendant of Jiang Ziya, had never caught anything. "No, this is my first time catching a fish in the wild." "I see." Brother Nan understood after a brief thought, "Novice protection period." "Protection period?" "Yes, there is a protection period for novice fishermen, so it is easy to catch fish." "Oh." Li Mu nodded, it seemed that this was the explanation. "Although your fish is only a small one, it's a good start." Brother Nan picked up the fishing rod, "Look at me next, I'm sure the one I catch will be bigger than yours." The palm-sized carp in the bucket suddenly stirred up a splash of water. Was it looking down on the smaller fish? Yogurt stood up, put his two little paws on the edge of the bucket and looked into the bucket. The carp immediately became obedient and sank to the bottom of the bucket without moving. "Master Yogurt, would you like to eat some?" Li Mu asked Yogurt who was staring at the fish. "too small." "emm" Li Mu stopped talking, silently picked up the fishing rod, put the bait on it and threw it into the lake, determined to catch a big fish. Yogurt squatted on a rock, looking at the two people fishing, then turned his head to look at the bucket, his eyes sparkling. "It seems like another fish has taken the bait." The branch in Li Mu's hand bent down again. With the experience from the first one, this time it was much easier. With a sudden force of my wrist, a fish broke through the water and emerged.
It was another carp, and this time it was not small, almost two kilograms. The fishing line was so tight when he lifted it up that Li Mu was worried that it would break if the fish was bigger. Brother Nan watched Li Mu put the fish into the bucket, then hang the bait and cast the rod, and his heart was still calm. It's normal for her to be in the novice protection period. She wants to catch big fish and doesn't like this kind of small carp. "Brother Nan, I didn't lie to you, there are so many fish here." Li Mu caught another 20-centimeter willow root fish. "Well, there must be big fish in the lake. Wait for Brother Nan to catch one for you to open your eyes." Brother Nan stared at the water, his aho-hair shaking, as if he was searching for big fish in the lake. "Okay." Li Mu cast another rod. No one knew where the yogurt had gone. Li Mu unhooked the fish and put it into the bucket with extremely skillful movements. Now he completely believed what Brother Nan said about the protection period, and in just a short while, the bucket was almost full. He caught all of them, most of them were carp, three willow fish, and a big catfish that almost broke his fishing line. Li Mu put the bait on again, threw the hook into the water, and quietly glanced at Brother Nan beside him. Sister Nan held the fishing rod with professional technique and standard posture. There was no expression on her face and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking. Maybe the big fish haven’t swam up yet, Brother Nan doesn’t like these small fish. While he was daydreaming, the fishing line suddenly became tight and the fishing rod was dragged into the water. Li Mu reacted quickly and held it tightly, so the fishing rod was not dragged away. A big fish is caught! Li Mu held the fishing rod tightly and began to compete with the fish underwater. The fish was very ferocious and struggled with great force. The fishing line was now as taut as a fully drawn bowstring, and a sound of being unable to bear the heavy weight could be heard. Finally, the fish got tired, and Li Mu seized the opportunity to pull it up with his wrist. A large fish, more than 40 centimeters long, with orange-red markings on both sides of its body, surfaced. However, before Li Mu could drag it ashore, the fishing line broke with a snap, and the big fish swung its tail and disappeared into the water. Li Mu was dodged and staggered. "The fishing line we bought last minute still doesn't work." Brother Nan looked at the water. "It's a salmon, at least four or five pounds." As soon as the big fish surfaced, Brother Nan put down her fishing rod and came over, wanting to help Li Mu get the fish ashore. However, the fishing line didn't hold, which made her feel very sorry. Li Mu looked at the broken fishing line and didn't feel sad. He caught the fish, but the fishing line didn't hold. He was a little excited because he caught a big fish for the first time in his life. "It's okay. You still have your rod." "Yes!" Brother Nan picked up the fishing rod with excitement, "Watch me catch it again." The fact that this big salmon was caught means there are big fish in the water. This calmed down Brother Nan, who had been feeling a little anxious about not catching any fish. The descendants of Lao Jiang family live only to catch big fish! Li Mu sat down on a rock and released Brother Nan's drone to conduct a high-altitude survey around the lake to see if there were any signs of human activity.
This is much faster than patrolling by people on foot, and drones can also be controlled to fly to places that are difficult for people to enter. After flying around and finding nothing unusual, Li Mu put away the drone, took out a bottle of water, thought for a while, and walked to Brother Nan. "Brother Nan, have a drink of water." "Yeah." Not moving. Li Mu unscrewed the bottle cap, put it to Brother Nan's mouth, tilted the bottle slightly, and Brother Nan drank half of the bottle in one breath. Li Mu glanced at the top of Brother Nan's head and found that his aho-hair had wilted a little. "Maybe." Li Mu pondered for a moment, "Big fish only come out at night." Brother Nan turned his head to look at him, pursed his lips, said nothing, and turned back to stare at the calm lake. Li Mu stopped talking and stood with Brother Nan, secretly glancing at the top of her head from time to time. Dai Mao is becoming more and more wilted. "Um!" I heard the sound of yogurt behind me. Li Mu looked back and saw that Yogurt had returned at some point, holding a 20-centimeter-long willow root fish in his mouth. Seeing Li Mu turning around, Yogurt walked to the bucket, stood up, and put the fish in with some effort. "Nimu, I caught it!" The kitten's tone was full of pride. "Mr. Yogurt is really amazing. He also caught a big fish." "Yes!" "Brother Lan, haven't you caught any fish yet?" "." Fortunately, Brother Nan couldn’t understand what the kitten was saying. But Brother Nan had already turned his head and saw the kitten holding a fish and putting it into the bucket. Li Mu clearly saw that at that moment, there was no light in Brother Nan's eyes. But Brother Nan would not be defeated so easily. I saw Brother Nan put down the fishing rod, turned around, picked up a machete, cut the fishing line, and started cutting at one end of the branch. Soon the fishing rod turned into a spear. Brother Nan took out the remaining baits and threw them all into the water, then stood by the water with a spear in his hand. Not long after the bait was thrown, the water surface seemed to boil, splashing water, and a group of fish floated up to compete for the bait. "Snapped!" Brother Nan plunged into the water with a spear in his hand. When he came out, there was a big fish skewered on the spear, which was the salmon that had escaped.
