Chapter 2

"Here's half a sack, Willow..."

Zhu Wentian felt that if he could get the fish, he could share it with others, and he was idle and had no books to read.

"What kind of fish are there in the river? The rice is about to be harvested, and it's still not cold. It's obviously not the rice in the Northeast. Indica rice is better for making rice noodles, especially the old ones..."

He paused and muttered on a stone used for laundry by the river, unpacking the sack and putting a willow branch beside it.

He needs to judge the geographical environment. From the perspective of crops and temperature, it is definitely not the Yellow River Basin.

If it is the Yellow River Basin, the temperature must drop at this moment, and there should be wheat growing.

Now he saw Viola, castor, perilla, and other grasses by the river.

At the same time, there is a bamboo forest on the other side of the river, a little farther away, look carefully, purple bamboo.

"It's still impossible to locate. There are all in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, unless you give me some references, such as special specialties. Alright, dig earthworms."

Zhu Wentian connected the fishing rope to the fishing rod without a hook, and tied a knot with two dead knots and two slip knots.

Slipknots are used to tie earthworms, eh?Grasshoppers in the field are also fine.

This method is most suitable for catching carnivorous fish. If you bite it, you will not let go. If the knot is bigger, the fish will not be able to spit it out in a short time.

He digs by the river with a short branch to get out earthworms and other insects, such as mole crickets.

It is still impossible to judge the specific geographical location through these, and there are many places with these things.

He cut the earthworm into several pieces, tied it to a slipknot, picked up a long pebble, and considered whether to add a sinker, but if he added it, he would have to drag it. If he didn’t add it, he was worried that the fish floating on the water would not like to swallow the bait.

"Leave it alone, let me catch some fish!" Zhu Wentian said to himself, throwing the bait onto the water.

As soon as the bait touched the water, a fish exposed its head and swallowed it.

"Oh! Oh my god!" Zhu Wentian hurriedly swung the pole, and it was right to throw it back as hard as possible.

A fish measuring more than ten centimeters just flew out and hit the wet soil with a puff.

"Mandarin fish, more than half a catty, it's so easy to catch, continue." Zhu Wentian unloaded the fish and put it on with the wicker sticks he had prepared.

Then he caught fish one by one, including mullet, mandarin fish, minnow, and even grass carp. God knows why the grass carp swallowed live bait. This is unscientific.

Before, he also thought about using bowfishing technique to bow fish, so that he could live longer, but now he is too busy, so let's wear it!Anyway, I have to eat in a while.

He estimated that in an hour or so, more than 40 fish were pierced with willow branches behind him.

If it is too big, it cannot be caught. The fish obviously swallows the bait, and when it is pulled hard, it comes off without a hook.

Generally, it weighs only one catty, and the biggest feeling is three catties, or two.

"Brother Hanhan, what are you doing, Brother Hanhan?"

"Fish, there are fish, brother Hanhan has caught fish."

"Eat fish, eat fish at noon today."

"Brother Hanhan can fish!"

The voice of a group of children came, and they ran behind Zhu Wentian, watching the fish call happily.

Each of them carried a small bamboo basket with a lid and filled it with grasshoppers.

Apparently they were catching grasshoppers in the rice fields to feed chickens and ducks.

Zhu Wentian looked at the friends who played together in these memories: "Fish, fish! Silly, hehe!"

As he spoke, he lifted the pole, and another mandarin fish over 30 centimeters was thrown up. This one was big, too big, weighing more than four catties, which was not easy!
"Brother Hanhan, can you fish without a hook? Let me see. Here, the egg I gave you this morning, the chief said I don't need it, so I picked it up."

A little girl took out a boiled egg and stuffed it for Zhu Wentian.

Zhu Wentian looked at the other party's withered and yellow hair with forked ends, squeezed out a smile, hehe twice, took the egg and put it away.

A group of partners gathered around to look at the fishing tools, and after waiting for this silly brother to re-bait and throw it into the water, and successfully caught a fish, they understood.

The sack pieces continued to be removed, the willow branches continued to be broken, and there were many earthworms without digging.

Next, a group of children are fishing by the river. They are not afraid of their hands and can gradually become proficient. Sometimes luck is more important.

The grasshoppers they caught were also used by Zhu Wentian as bait, and they followed suit.

The 22 little friends and their Hanhan brother made a nest in this place, and the fish were thrown up one by one.

At noon, it was their family members who yelled, and they realized that fishing was addictive, especially when they were crazily catching fish.

Behind them was a pile of fish, and they were so busy fishing that no one cared about the quantity at all.

"You, you..." The father of the girl who boiled eggs for Zhu Wentian came over, staring at Xiaoyushan in a daze.

"Father, make fish for lunch!" The little girl turned her head and found that there were too many fish, she shouted excitedly.

"Eat fish eat fish."

"We fished."

"Brother Hanhan taught us."

"The village guards are really amazing."

The other little friends followed suit, and they had received this kind of education since childhood.

The village guard's brother Hanhan is very powerful. He was invited by the village. You must treat the village guard well, don't laugh at him, don't allow bullying, and you must help the village guard if they are in trouble.

The village guards are given by God, and they bless the whole village. Only when the village guards are there can the village be stable.

In fact, Zhu Wentian's body, regardless of the fact that he is only fifteen years old and more than 1.6 meters tall, the key is strength.

He can easily lift a stone roller weighing more than 200 kilograms, and he can catch up with half a cow when pulling a plow.

"Hanhan, did you teach them? Ah! Ah! The fortune teller is right, less money, less money.

At that time, the fortune-teller said that the village guards were unusual, and that treating the village guards kindly would bring good fortune.

oops!I have to tell others, great, our Hanhan has brought good news to the village.

The head of the village did nothing wrong back then, but he should have found a fool somewhere else to be the village guard, yes. "

The little girl's father ran away yelling, feeling that he was more like a village guard.

Zhu Wentian: "..."

In fact, he wanted to tell the other party that the fortune-telling talk was all clouded, so don't take it seriously.

If I were a fortune teller, I would say the same thing when I saw the treatment the villagers received.

Why?Villagers?Are you a villager?

Amazing, this village actually knows how to raise fools.

Zhu Wentian suddenly understood his status and status. There are various reasons for an ordinary village to have a fool.

I was actually brought back to the village from another place, and used myself to educate the villagers.

What is a villager?Keep the goodness of one village, set the virtues of hundreds of households, and protect the bottom line of human nature.

If a village, from adults to children, knows how to treat a fool well, then there will be no village tyrants.

The whole village raises a fool well and tells the children to treat the fool well, which actually cultivates virtue.

In such a village, who would dare to idle around and be the village tyrant?I can't kill you!

I have become a benchmark, so people in a village have raised themselves in a feudal and superstitious way.

"Then I will be a village guard for this village!"

Talking to himself, Zhu Wentian flicked the fishing rod, and another big fish that seemed to weigh more than four catties flew up. The fish sprinkled water droplets in the air, dazzling like pearls.

***
"That's it, that's it, look, our village guards are enlightened, and our Hanhan is taking the children to fish!"

Not long after, the little girl's father ran back again, followed by a group of people.

The children were trying their best to throw the fish on the road, but the small area on the bank couldn't fit it, and it would fall back into the water again.

The villagers ran over to help catch the fish and stared at Zhu Wentian by the way. The more they watched, the happier they became.

Zhu Wentian is at a loss, shouldn't you be terrified and puzzled?Why is it so natural to accept the fact that I can fish without a hook?
So what am I going to do next?Continue to be stupid?Suddenly smarter?Little by little with a naive look, slowly getting smarter?
I was designed by someone!Can you tell me where you stand in your heart?I can cooperate.

"You don't need a hook? Why do fish bite?"

"Fishing is so easy? See if it's a fake fish?"

"My God! It's enough for the whole village to have a good meal."

"It's definitely the blessing of the mountain god, the one struck by lightning last night, yes!"

"In another year, our Hanhan will be 16 years old, and when he is [-], he will have to pay rent and labor."

"Li Chief, how did you find the village guard? Li Chief, you are amazing!"

"If the chief is not very good, how can he be the chief?"

"Yes, yes, chief, tell me what you thought when you first found the village guard."

"No, no, no, I just look at this kid. I don't like others, but I just took a look at our fool." Li Chang waved his hands, modestly, and smiled like a flower.

He looked at the fish!It is estimated that there are thousands of catties, and the people in the village eat whatever they want, and this meal of meat is picked up for nothing.

He came to Zhu Wentian's side: "Hanhan, why do you know how to fish?"

"Ah? Hehe! Fish! Look, someone is fishing, hehe!" Zhu Wentian continued to maintain the character design.

"Oh! It turned out that I saw someone else fishing, but someone else has a hook! You don't have a hook, so you just catch a few bumps and catch it hard. This child!"

The chief patted Zhu Wentian's head, feeling relieved.

He thought it was God's gift to his village. He didn't see that the other villagers said he was looking for the village guard, okay?
"Hanhan, let's go back to eat." The chief inspector looked at so many fish, he had all the meat for lunch and dinner, and if there was any leftover, he would pickle it with salt.

"Fish, fish, hehehe!" Zhu Wentian was already hungry, but he still had to say this.

"Fishing after dinner, find more children to fish with you." The chief said while gesticulating.

"Okay, good! Eat, eat, fish! Hehehe!" Zhu Wentian cooperated.

So a group of people went back with the fish, and this was distributed according to the population.

Grass carp are rare and can only swallow live bait occasionally. The rest are meat-eating fish, and this kind of fish is delicious.

Grass-eating fish is usually best eaten steamed.

For fish that eat meat, there are many ways to do it, and sashimi is no problem.

It's past time for lunch, but everyone didn't eat, and it's not busy farming, so they usually eat later, or even just two meals.

It happened that there were more fish, and fishing was not easy. Today, the villagers couldn't figure out how they could catch so many fish without hooks.

You can't keep it, unless you use a lot of salt to pickle it.

Everyone is stewing fish, which saves fire and other seasonings.

"Leaves, leaves." Zhu Wentian threw the perilla leaves he picked into the pot. They are actually old now, and they smell like old ones.

The seeds of perilla are more fragrant to eat, and they are collected more. If they are squeezed into oil, they are the best.
