Chapter 1012 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a blessed girl from a farm family (8)
On the other side, Xu Yin didn't know that her efficient weeding action caused a quarrel between the couple in the field next door. She carried a heavy basket of weeds home and spread it out to dry in the yard.
Then I cut a bamboo pole, twisted a few strands of twine to make a fishing line, and pulled it, it was still strong;
I also cut a thin bamboo nail, roasted it to a certain level, and bent it bit by bit to become a simple fishhook.
I brought homemade fish food and a bucket and went fishing in the wild lake at the foot of the mountain.
Yehutang was originally a depression, but due to poor drainage, it gradually formed a lake.
Dawa Village is low-lying and relatively closed. It is easy for water to accumulate when it rains. In addition, the soil is not sandy and has poor drainage. Over time, lakes and ponds of various sizes are formed. This is how Dawa Village got its name.
of.
Compared with those arid areas in the north, Dawa Village is quite lucky - there are many paddy fields, which is convenient for growing rice; and the water system is developed, so the villagers can often catch small fish and shrimps for tooth sacrifice.
But I am afraid of the rainy season. If it rains for several days in a row, even if it is not a downpour, it will be heavy enough. There will be a lot of water in the fields and the water will recede slowly, resulting in a reduced harvest.
Therefore, the villagers are worried as soon as spring and summer come, fearing that it will rain continuously.
Now is the time of spring and summer that everyone is most troubled about - if it doesn't rain, they are worried about the lack of water for the rice in the fields; if it rains, they are worried about a reduction in grain production, or even floods.
Xu Yin carried the bucket and fishing rod towards the wild lake and pond.
The reeds around the lake are very dense, and you can occasionally find traces of wild ducks. Children in the village often come here to look for wild duck eggs. It would be better if you are lucky enough to catch wild ducks.
"Eh? Goudan, isn't that your uncle's fat wife? Why is she here too? Does she want to snatch wild duck eggs from us?"
The boy named Goudan raised his hand and wiped away the sweat, leaving two black marks on his face. He sniffed and said, "How do I know? The day after she married my Uncle Meng Jin, Uncle Meng Jin went to serve.
My grandma doesn't like my fourth aunt very much, and I haven't been to my uncle's house for a long time."
"Pfft! No matter what she is here for! If she dares to steal our wild duck eggs, I will fight her!"
"Tiewa, do you dare to say this in front of her? I heard from my mother that she is very tough and can kill a wild boar with one sitting on her butt."
"What? She can kill a wild boar!!!"
A group of six- and seven-year-old children stared in horror.
They had seen the power of wild boars. In the early winter of last year, wild boars came down the mountain to look for food. They gored a strong boy in their village and broke his stomach. His intestines came out. The bloody scene was always scary.
I didn’t expect this woman to be so terrifying? She could kill a big wild boar with one sitting on her butt?
Now, no one dared to speak loudly, for fear that the woman would hear them and hit them with her butt.
The timid one even ran away: "I won't look for wild duck eggs anymore, I'm going home!"
In the end, only Goudan, Tiewa and the Wang family's grandson Huzi, who was grinding tofu in the village, were left.
The three of them are the strongest brothers, holding each other's hands to encourage each other:
"We're not afraid! We didn't say anything to her!"
"Yes! We only come here to look for wild duck eggs. This is not her family's territory. Everyone can come, so why can't we come!"
"At worst, if you touch a wild duck egg, give her one."
"If you touch a lot, you can divide it between two of her!"
Separated only by a line of reeds, Xu Yin just sat down on the shore and prepared to fish: "..."
Good guy!
When could she sit on her butt and kill a big wild boar?
Rumors are really stronger than tigers!
Also, does she look so much like Grandet, who "plucks her feathers when the wild goose passes" and leaves her skin when the beast leaves? She doesn't even let go of the wild duck eggs picked up by a few little kids?
With a dull look on her face, Xu Yin swung the fishing rod, and a small whitebait wrapped in sticky bait clung to the hook and fell into the lake like a parabola.
After a while, she felt the fishing rod sink and a fish bit the hook, but she didn't know if the skill of "fishing with small fish" would work here.
It should work based on feeling, as small fish don’t have such great hook-biting power.
"Wow--"
As she raised the pole, a large grass carp weighing four to five pounds was caught with its tail fluttering, its scales shining in the sun.
"Wow--"
The "Iron Triangle" who was hiding in the reeds and picking wild duck eggs was shocked when he saw this scene.
Everyone stared and opened their mouths.
What a big fish!
Is there such a big fish hiding in this lake?
But how is it possible?
It's not like they haven't caught fish in this lake in the past. Even if they cast the net, they will catch either a small miscellaneous fish as thick as a finger, or a small crucian carp or grass carp as wide as two fingers. When have they ever seen such a big one?
Fish! Could this be the King of Fish?
Xu Yin wanted to sigh: Even though she used her skills, she only caught one grass carp weighing four or five pounds. Is there no big fish in this lake?
Before they could react, she got off the pole again.
Iron Triangle subconsciously held his breath and did not dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing the fish that bit the hook.
Although they didn't think they could catch such a big fish, how could there be two king fish hiding in one lake?
They waited and waited with bated breath, and Xu Yin was also waiting.
This time it took ten minutes to catch another crucian carp weighing two to three kilograms.
Audio-Technica: OMG! I really caught another big fish!!! Is Uncle Meng Jin’s fat wife a hidden fishing expert???
Xu Yin: After waiting for ten minutes, I got a crucian carp weighing two or three pounds? It seems that there are really no big fish in this lake.
It was getting late, and she planned to close her pole.
I used the remaining bait before closing the rod, but did not waste any more small whitebait using the skill [Use small to catch big].
The fragrant bait, wrapped in a fishhook and put into the lake, immediately attracts the fish in the lake. Every time you catch a fish, there are many miscellaneous species, including small crucian carp, willow root fish, creek grouper, and small white stripe, but they are all small.
They were pitiful, basically no bigger than a finger, and the largest one was only two inches wide.
After running out of bait, she harvested a bucket of small miscellaneous fish.
Watching her fishing triangle through the reeds, I was so envious that I couldn't even feel excited even if I touched wild duck eggs.
"Goudan!"
Xu Yin shouted in their direction.
"ah?"
Goudan was pushed out by Tiewa with a stunned expression.
"She calls you, go quickly! Isn't she your lobby aunt?"
The clever little Tiewa also stuffed two of the wild duck eggs he touched into Goudan's hand and motioned with his eyes to give them to the woman.
Although he didn't want to admit it, subconsciously he did want to please that woman.
It's not that she's afraid of hitting them with her big butt, but... it would be great if she could learn her fishing skills!
Xu Yin tied the two-pound crucian carp with a straw rope and handed it to Goudan: "Go to Lao Cui's house for me and say that I respect my mother-in-law. After delivering the fish, come to my house for dinner."
"ah?"
Goudan was even more confused.
Going to her house for dinner? Is it such a good thing?
Could it be that she wanted to eat him?
He trembled with fright and quickly handed over the wild duck eggs in his hands: "Tiewa and I will share the wild duck eggs that Huzi found for you two."
