Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains
Chapter 36 Encountering a Valuable Cargo in the River
"It's really big!"
Lin Heng said happily that these two were as thick as two thumbs, more than thirty centimeters long, orange-yellow, and very beautiful.
After looking twice, he stretched out both hands to catch it. He took aim and lifted it up instantly. As soon as it was lifted out of the water, the eel began to struggle violently.
Wow!
"Holy shit, the left one ran away." Lin Heng watched with pity as the eel ran to the middle of the field, and helplessly put the other one into the snakeskin bag.
They all caught the eels while standing on the ridge of the field. If they didn't enter the field, it would be difficult to catch them if they ran away.
"It's okay, there are a lot of them, and there are a lot of fields!"
The eldest brother Lin Yue said with a smile.
Lin Heng didn't care too much. It was normal to fail in catching eels. He continued to act. He caught five more eels in this field and moved to the next field.
Not every paddy field contains eels. It must be a muddy field that is not dry all year round. Even worse, it must be a very humid field.
Of course, I will still take a look at other fields when I pass by. It doesn’t matter if I don’t look at it, I will be shocked when I see it.
"Holy crap, there really is an eel. Is this a super boss who has been here for more than ten years?" Lin Heng couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
At first sight, I thought it was a snake, but after a closer look, I was sure it was an eel.
"It's really big, as thick as Xiaoxia's fist. It's just that it's too far away, and half of her body is still in the hole. How can I catch it." The eldest brother Lin Yue was excited and a little worried at the same time.
"It's okay, I've been prepared."
Lin Heng took out the fishhook he had prepared at home, and the fishing line and earthworm bait were already threaded.
He turned around, found a wooden stick, tied it on and gently threw it to the eel's mouth.
"Lin Heng, are you good at this? If not, I'll go to the field and give it a try." The elder brother didn't believe that the eel would eat such an obvious hook.
Just two seconds after he finished speaking, the big eel suddenly launched a predatory attack as fast as lightning, swallowing up the earthworms and the fishhook together.
With quick hands and eyes, Lin Heng pulled it out, and a giant eel with a body length of more than 40 centimeters was pulled into the air.
"Holy crap, it's really possible!!" Lin Yue was shocked that this eel was so stupid.
"Of course, don't think of them too smart." Lin Heng chuckled, grabbed the eel, took the hook and threw it into the bag.
When he threw it in, Lin Heng's heart was still pounding. This was a giant eel weighing one pound. If it escaped, he wouldn't be able to sleep for three days.
To compare it to a carp, this is a large carp weighing more than ten kilograms.
This is the fun of catching eels. The battle of wits and courage with the eels is much more exciting than playing games.
The two of them searched in this field for a long time, but found nothing. It seemed that this was the only one, and they had no choice but to go to the next mud field.
“There are so many fields here, and I saw two of them as soon as I came here!”
The eldest brother Lin Yue also became interested and reached out to grab one, but he didn't catch it tightly and fell onto the field. It took a lot of effort to catch it and put it into the bag.
"Forget it, you better do it." Lin Yue smiled helplessly. It looked simple, but it was really very technical.
Lin Heng nodded and did not refuse.
Be gentle before striking, and be quick and precise when striking. As long as the eel is thicker than the index finger, you can almost always catch it 100%.
The thicker ones are easier to grasp, but there is nothing that can be done about thin and small ones. The failure rate is 90%, so Lin Heng simply gives up.
After finishing catching the three mud fields at home, Lin Yue weighed the bag and couldn't help but grinned:
"Today's harvest is great. There are at least eight or nine kilograms of eels. The town charges 80 cents per kilogram and can be sold for six to seven yuan."
The nutritional value of eel is relatively high, and some restaurants in Huangtan Town will buy it specifically to entertain leaders and some wealthy people.
"There are other fields, let's go check them out."
Lin Heng pointed to two muddy fields on the other side of the river. Monopterus eels are wild and no one will say anything if you catch them. They can also help with pest control to prevent them from drilling holes and causing water leakage in the paddy fields.
The most important thing is that this is a unique technique practiced by Lin Heng and his eldest brother, and no one else in the village can do it.
It’s not like no one noticed them catching eels in the paddy fields at night and followed suit.
But because I didn’t have the skills to catch eels, I ran more and caught less, and gradually I became too lazy to catch them.
"No problem." The eldest brother Lin Yue didn't refuse. He didn't steal or rob, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Lin Yue took the initiative to walk in front with his bag, kicking the grass from time to time to prevent snakes from lurking.
When they arrived at the Shiban River, the two of them walked up the river. All the fish in the Shiban River came out at night, and the creek grouper swam to the shallow water to hunt.
But Lin Heng had no interest in arresting him. He was too small and could catch less than a pound in one night. It would not be as fast as poisoning him with medicinal plant leaves during the day.
"Holy shit, good turtle!!"
Suddenly, the eldest brother Lin Yue let out an exclamation, which made Lin Heng tremble.
Hearing that it was a turtle, he quickly ran over, but didn't see it: "Where's the turtle?"
"The speed of this thing is so fast. When I saw it, it screeched under the stone deep in the pool." Lin Yue said, pointing to a huge stone more than three meters long in the center of the pool.
"What a pity. I didn't pay attention at the time. The turtle weighed two to three kilograms, and one of them can weigh as much as the eel we caught for more than two hours."
Not to mention how regretful Lin Yue was.
Lin Heng took a look at the stone. The water was more than one meter deep and it was impossible to catch it.
"Brother, I have a way. Try your luck. Maybe I can catch it tomorrow."
Lin Heng suddenly had an idea and came up with a solution.
"What can I do?" Lin Yue turned around and asked.
Lin Heng didn't say anything. He went to the waterside and touched a stream grouper with his hand, then cruelly put the hook through its tail.
"Of course it's fishing. This injured fish will definitely not be able to bear it. It just depends on whether the hook can be hooked firmly. After all, this hook has no barbs."
After hanging the stream grouper, Lin Heng put it into the water and tied the cotton swab to the wooden stick. The rest can only be left to fate and luck.
"It can only be like this. We will get up early tomorrow morning to see." Lin Yue nodded, not holding much hope for this.
Arriving at the two muddy fields on the other side of the river, the journey of catching yellow eels began again.
The yellow eels here are not big. The first field caught about two kilograms, a total of ten.
When they arrived at the second field, the two were a little speechless.
"Let's go, go home directly." Lin Heng shook his head.
"Let me try!" The eldest brother Lin Yue did not give up. He asked Lin Heng to hold the snakeskin bag and he reached out to catch it.
There are many yellow eels in this field. You can see several of them after walking two steps, but they are all thinner than your little finger and can't be caught at all.
After running for more than ten consecutive times, the eldest brother Lin Yue gave up and said with a wry smile: "Let's go back. This small yellow eel is too hard to catch."
"Of course, but you can go back and make an eel cage to try. It's not realistic to catch it with your bare hands." Lin Heng said with a smile.
In fact, he prefers to eat small yellow eels. The taste of Panlong yellow eel is simply unique. He drools when he thinks about it, but it's a pity that small yellow eels are too hard to catch.
However, the harvest tonight is enough. There are ten kilograms of yellow eels. It's not a wasted trip from eight o'clock to more than 11 o'clock.
When he returned to the vicinity of his home, Lin Heng found that there was a flashlight in front of his house, and several people were standing together. Did something happen?
"Let's go and see why he hasn't slept yet at this time."
Lin Yue was also a little worried. He didn't sleep so late, so something must have happened.
It's the beginning of the month, please give me some monthly tickets, or recommendation tickets are also OK, my dears or2
