Zhang An had just arrived at the riverside after coming out of his home. Before he could reach the crowd, he heard a burst of noise.
"Just tell me whether you want to gamble or not. Let's see who catches more fish. The loser will stop coming here in the future."
Zhang An frowned when he heard this voice. It didn't look like someone had caught a big fish, and everyone came to join in the fun.
It felt more like someone was quarreling to Zhang An.
After getting into the crowd, Zhang An saw a tattooed man with a sinister face, arguing with Chen Zhijie.
"What's going on, Lao Chen?"
"You are back. When I went to your house today, I found that you were not at home. Your neighbor said that you were visiting relatives."
Chen Zhijie said hello to Zhang An first, and then said:
"I don't even know what's going on. I've just been fishing for two hours and this guy started to cause trouble. I'm still confused. Maybe I didn't read the almanac when I went out today."
Chen Zhijie stopped coming over when the weather got cold and stayed at home for several months.
The weather has become very good since the Chinese New Year. With the appearance of the sun, the temperature has also risen a lot.
So today he planned to come to Changqing River to have a good time. During this time, he was almost exhausted at home.
But I didn’t expect that not long after I arrived, someone else would come to make trouble for me.
Moreover, Chen Zhijie just came here for a casual stroll today, bringing only a small pole and nothing else.
But the man kept acting aggressive, so he made an appointment to compete another day.
When he brought the equipment over, he could compete in any way, but this man didn't agree and insisted on competing today.
It's as if people sit by the river and disaster comes from the sky.
"Zhang An, this is what happened."
A buddy appeared next to him and started talking to Zhang An.
The person who spoke was the guy who wanted to buy an eagle from Zhang An last time, named Zhang Chengjie.
This guy's father is a coal boss. No wonder he didn't seem to care about money last time.
Then Zhang Chengjie told Zhang An the whole story, and Zhang An roughly understood it.
This tall, tattooed man with a fleshy face is called Brother Long. He just caught a fish weighing more than ten kilograms on the river bank above.
He has been making fun of people by the river, which has affected many people's fishing.
Even the fish that were about to bite the hook were scared away, and everyone couldn't see it and started to fight.
He said that he started holding the harpoon after catching such a small fish.
Chen Zhijie caught a king fish weighing more than thirty kilograms, but he was not as good at pretending to do so.
This guy was said to have lost face. After asking all the way, he found Chen Zhijie.
When he opened his mouth, he said that he wanted Chen Zhijie to fight with him, intending to regain the lost face from him.
"Brother, please don't change the subject. Just say whether you want to accept it or not. They are all men, not mothers and fathers. They all say you are the King of Fishes. I think you are not good at it."
This man saw that Chen Zhijie was not paying attention to him, but the people next to him were still connoting him.
At this moment, he became a little angry and wanted to provoke Chen Zhijie.
After Chen Zhijie negotiated with him just now, he found that this person was extremely outrageous and could not listen to human words.
So now I don't want to talk to him at all.
"Brother, everyone comes out to go fishing just to relax and have fun, so you can do your own thing."
Zhang An looked at him like this. There were more and more people around the river now, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.
"I'm talking to the real owner. What does it matter to you? Why are you interrupting, you big-ass baby? Are you going to take over for him?"
Brother Long saw that it was Chen Zhijie who ignored him, but Zhang An next to him came to speak.
At the moment, I thought that Chen Zhijie was scared and Zhang An was trying to make peace.
"It's boring for your brother to say this. It's better for everyone to go out and play in harmony."
"Don't worry about whether he's nice or not. If you don't step in for him, why are you interfering? How shameful are you?"
Hearing Zhang An's gentle voice, Brother Long became even more arrogant.
Zhang An and the old village chief have been trying every means to attract people to Changqing.
If you really let this person keep doing it and others will follow suit, then that's fine.
Zhang An felt that this man was a bit shameless, so he tried to persuade him with nice words. Since this man couldn't listen, Zhang An didn't tolerate him in the end.
"Okay, since you are so addicted to gambling, I will take it up with you. You can gamble however you want and on whatever you want."
For such a person, Zhang An plans to cure his gambling addiction today.
"Zhang An, there is no need to pay attention to this kind of person."
Chen Zhijie saw that Zhang An wanted to bet with him, so he advised Zhang An that this kind of person is a kind of noodle.
"It's okay, just play for fun."
"Oh, yes, kid, okay, since you accepted it, I respect you as a person."
"Let's set the rules like this. Each of us has one rod. You can use any bait except live bait. After two hours, whoever catches more will see whoever loses will stop coming to this river."
When Brother Long said this, he even shook the flesh on his face.
At this moment, I saw Zhang An talking about fighting fish with him, giving out the rules with a confident look on his face.
He felt that at such an old age, Zhang An was actually just a child, and he didn't know much about fishing.
In fact, he guessed correctly. Zhang An's fishing skills were indeed not very good, but this guy was wrong.
"Brother, if you make such a bet, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it. My home is at Qiaotou. If you ask me not to come here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do it."
"Okay, since you said that, let me give you a favor, just a thousand yuan lottery. If you lose, I will give you a thousand yuan. How about that?"
Hearing that Zhang An's family was from here, he had no choice but to let him go home.
When he said he would bet a thousand yuan, the people behind him were shocked.
Damn it, this is a thousand dollars.
"Okay, let's go by what your brother said. Can someone come out to preside over it? Just say what you say is unfounded, so as not to cheat later."
As Zhang An said this, he took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and planned to call someone to do justice.
Brother Long saw that Zhang An was able to take out a thousand yuan, and it seemed that it was easy.
Suddenly he felt a little frustrated. He didn't have a thousand yuan on him.
What I said just now was just to scare Zhang An away and gain more face for myself.
Unexpectedly, Zhang An directly paid a thousand yuan and killed his army.
"I'll come, I'll come."
After Zhang An finished speaking, an old man who was not too concerned about the excitement came out of the crowd.
There were a lot of people trying to get angry, but Brother Long was already very unhappy.
After all these years, he has never felt so aggrieved.
Now I saw someone else coming out to add fuel to the fire, so I opened my mouth to ask why you are here.
But he was carrying a leather bag and a big brother.
This person's posture is extraordinary. The brick in his hand is very heavy.
Brother Long, who still wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, suddenly lost his temper.
"Okay, then leave it to this old man."
Zhang An smiled and handed over the money, then looked at Brother Long next to him with a big blue dragon.
At this time, this man was already riding a tiger, and he was the one who proposed the bet. He said everything himself.
Now it was time to verify the gambling capital, but he couldn't get it.
"Erhu, you guys come here and give me your money first."
Hearing this name, Zhang An was very happy. At first, he thought he was calling his second tiger.
What he said next made everyone onlookers laugh.
The co-author is a person who has no money. The big brother who has been pretending here for a long time is an empty basket.
To his ears, the laughter felt like ruthless ridicule.
In fact, he felt that he was right. This was not a sign, it was clearly a mockery.
The few people who came with him didn't really want to lend him money. After all, it was a lot of money.
But at this point, if I don't lend him a hand, I might end up not having any contact with each other until death.
In the end, three or four people worked together for a long time and collected more than 900 yuan, but it was still not enough, only 50 yuan short.
Zhang An saw that he had been detaining for a long time, but he still couldn't get enough, so he spoke up.
"Brother, stop looking for it. Let's do this. I can buy you two packs of bait for fifty yuan."
Zhang An took out fifty yuan and handed it over. Later, the man would come up with an excuse that the bait was different, and then refuse to accept the payment.
This action was applauded by everyone, who bluntly said that Zhang An was grand.
"Okay, you're a fastidious boy. If you lose later, I'll pay you back double the money."
In his opinion, Zhang An definitely couldn't beat him.
Now that everything is ready, it’s time to start.
"Old Chen, give me a pole. I don't have a pole."
Zhang An was empty-handed and couldn't fish, so he asked Chen Zhijie to borrow a fishing rod.
Finally, Chen Zhijie handed over his fishing rod. Zhang An looked at it and shook his head.
"Old Chen, this rod is not very good. It is too thin. If you just put in a small fish, it will break after a while."
"But I didn't bring the big pole with me today, I only brought this one."
Chen Zhijie didn't plan on catching big fish today, he just came to have fun.
"Brother, you can use mine to catch big fish."
At this time, Zhang Chengjie handed Zhang An a large pole over seven meters long.
This rod is indeed big enough, and just like what he said, it is specially designed to catch big fish.
Zhang An was not polite. Seeing that the pole had been adjusted by him, Zhang An used it directly.
Add some river water to the bait in the basin and put a lot of spring water in it.
After mixing the bait, start hanging the bait and then throw the rod.
The people nearby shook their heads when they saw Zhang An's technique and gesture.
Although I don't want to say it, it seems that Zhang An has little chance of winning.
Brother Long on the side felt more stable when he saw this.
It feels like the thousand dollars is now in his shape, no different from the money in his pocket.
At this moment, he was in a particularly beautiful mood and hummed a little tune unconsciously.
But before he was happy for a while, he hummed a few tunes in his mouth, and Zhang An's side was in trouble.
At this time, the adjustment in his mouth also stopped, and he could only pray that Zhang An would not be able to pull it up and the fish would slip away from the hook.
But the reality is cruel. Although Zhang An's fishing skills are not very good, he has learned a lot in his previous life.
It's just that I haven't moved the pole for a long time and my hands are raw.
This fish is not very big, probably about four to five kilograms of grass carp.
Zhang An quickly slipped to the river. Seeing Chen Zhijie planning to help with the robbery, Zhang An quickly stopped him and said:
"Old Chen, I'll do it myself, just in case it doesn't count later."
Hearing what Zhang An said, Chen Zhijie handed Zhang An the net and asked him to do it himself.
One hand holds the pole and the other hand holds the fish.
Then a grass carp weighing four to five kilograms came into the house.
Zhang An then hung his ears and continued throwing the pole.
Brother Long next to him thought to himself that this must be good luck, and it will not be so easy to get into trouble next time.
As a result, within a minute of Zhang An just throwing it down, it turned black again.
"call out."
Zhang An directly lifted the fishing rod, and this time the force from the other end of the fishing rod was stronger.
But Zhang An still caught the fish easily, and it was another big river carp.
"It's amazing, it just took a few minutes, and the rod is connected."
"Yeah, it didn't take more than two minutes before and after."
People who originally thought that Zhang An did not know how to fish now realize that they were mistaken.
If you don't know how to fish, then you are nothing.
In the next hour, Zhang An kept catching fish.
The guy next to me only took two or three strokes, which was considered a normal pace.
However, he was sweating profusely now.
This is not caused by the sun. Although the weather is nice today, it is not hot.
This was all done in a hurry, and I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely.
Originally I just wanted to torture the food, but I didn't expect that such an old young man would turn out to be an old ghost.
Moreover, when he watched Zhang An fishing just now, he also discovered that Zhang An's skills were not that proficient.
But Zhang An can always catch fish, just throw the rod and he can catch it.
This was the first time he encountered such an evil thing.
He now feels that he bumped into something unclean when he went out.
Unknowingly, an hour and a half had passed, and Zhang An had just thrown the rod here.
There had been no movement for several minutes, just when everyone thought Zhang An's luck was over.
Suddenly, the fish bobber floating on the water was pulled down.
Zhang An hit the pole as usual, but this time the force coming from him was wrong.
"Everyone, please step aside. There is something wrong with this pole."
After hearing what Zhang An said, everyone thought that he might have gotten a big deal.
The crowd that had been watching just now dispersed to both sides, leaving a large space for Zhang An.
Sure enough, Zhang An had just finished speaking and hadn't stepped back yet.
The big guys in the river are running around dragging fish hooks.
There was a fierce attack in the east and a fierce attack in the west.
"This time it must be a big fish. Look at the way it moves its head. It's definitely not smaller than the one Lao Chen caught last time."
"It seems that Zhang An not only caught a lot of fish today, but also very big ones."
"Guigui, my pole usually catches giant fish weighing thirty to fifty kilograms, but today it was straightened into a bow. How big is this fish?"
Zhang Chengjie is stunned now. If it were him, he would have fallen off the pole long ago, or he would have been pulled into the river.
"Brother, how much does your pole cost? I'm afraid you might break it later."
Zhang An felt that the fish was quite big and he was not sure that he would be able to catch it.
"Bah, bah, bah, brother, please don't say such things now. We will definitely get it done. We believe in you. You can do it with confidence. If it breaks, it's up to me."
Zhang Chengjie was originally a generous person, but Zhang An showed him this skill, and he admired Zhang An even more.
Now I hope Zhang An can pull up this rod and see what he caught.
Even if it breaks in the end, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not.
Their family lacked everything but money. In his father's words, their family's money could be used to pull a train.
Zhang An felt that the strength on the pole was a little weaker, so he prepared to reel in the line to the shore.
Before they even started to move, the guy in the river started blowing the charge horn again.
It's like waltzing in a big river, turning here and there.
From the time he took the bait until now, Zhang An had been slipping away from this big guy for almost forty minutes.
Except for the moment when he was weak, at other times, the fishing rod in Zhang An's hand was basically stretched into a big curved bow.
Fortunately, Zhang Chengjie's rod is better. If it were a different rod, it would have been broken long ago.
Although Zhang An was very strong, he did not dare to drag it hard, so he could only slide it slowly.
