Longevity begins with taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 5 The silver fish explodes in the box

When silverfish leave the sea, they will soon become deprived of oxygen.

Even if a living water tank is placed, it will be difficult to feed them.

Cao Guang wrapped the head of the silver fish with a cloth handkerchief, took off the fishhook, and carefully inspected the scales and tail fin. He found that there were no problems and the quality was very complete.

Just put the fish directly into the cold box and cover it carefully with crushed ice.

He rehooked the bait and threw the rod, and the lead fell into the sea.

The fishing boat slowly drifted into the depths of the bay with the current.

Because a school of silvery fish has just been tested, it is about 20 meters in the water layer.

So Cao Guang planned to put the hook directly at 20 meters.

There is nothing wrong with this idea under normal circumstances.

But just when the fishing line on the reel slid down to 18 meters, he suddenly felt blessed because of his increased fishing experience. He suddenly stopped the fishing line that was being lowered, and then began to slowly lower the line in half circles and half circles. .

As a result, the fishing line was only placed at 19 meters.

The tip of the fishing rod shook wildly.

"middle!"

"Great, hit again."

Cao Guangyang stabbed the fish with his rod, feeling the heavy pull in his hand, his heartbeat quickened and his face flushed.

This time the pulling force was obviously stronger than before.

After ten interest.

A spiritual fish that was more than a foot long, with silver light shining all over its body and a streamlined body, was pulled up to the surface of the water.

"Damn it, a silvery fish over a foot long!"

"Get rich, get rich."

Cao Guang used the net to lift the fish gently, for fear of damaging the fish scales.

Just this one silver fish is worth a dozen black snappers.

Next, Cao Guang was extremely busy.

Because big fish are more energetic and swim faster.

So he slowly released the line from 18 meters to 20 meters, and could often catch large silvery fish more than a foot long.

Taking a moment, he glanced at the fishing boats next to him.

What was caught were mostly small silvery fish half a foot long.

In this way, Cao Guang controlled the direction of the fishing boat while fishing.

Unknowingly, it drifted into the depths of Jiaolong Bay.

When Cao Guang, immersed in excitement, once again pulled up a silver fish that was more than a foot long.

"Bang" a muffled sound!
The bottom of the fishing boat was hit hard.

Cao Guang held the fishing rod with both hands and focused all his attention on the tip of the rod. As a result, he accidentally hit the side of the boat with his shoulder.

"Damn, it must be Swordfish."

"Fortunately, I put the armor-reinforcement charm on it."

Cao Guang stabilized his body and rubbed his shoulders.

The Armor-Strengthening Talisman can last for two hours when it is not attacked.

But now that the fishing boat is under attack, the effective duration of the armor-fixing talisman will be greatly reduced.

How long it can last depends on the strength and frequency of the swordfish's attacks.

To be safe, Cao Guang activated the remaining Armor Talisman.

Then control the fishing boat to turn around.

Prepare to return to the sea area where the boat first stopped to wait for the current.

Then while the water is still flowing, follow the original route and float again.

As for the depths of Jiaolong Bay, even though there are more silvery fish there, given the size of my fishing boat, it is definitely not suitable to set foot there, otherwise there will be a risk of capsizing.

A quarter of an hour later.

Cao Guang returned to the starting point.

There are many other small sampans like his around.

Everyone is racing against time, trying to take another trip while the last few incense sticks are still in the flowing water.

The lead fell into the sea and the tip of the rod shook.

[If you catch a silver fish, your fishing experience +1]

[If you catch a silver fish, your fishing experience +2]

Not only is the price of a half-foot-long silverfish less expensive than the one-foot-long silverfish, but the experience it provides is also less than that of a foot-long one.

Next, a dozen more fish were hauled in.

Suddenly, the shiners stopped biting the bait.

After waiting for another full stick of incense.

No fish have bitten yet.

Cao Guang knew that the time for the silver fish to speak today had passed.

It doesn't make much sense to guard the fishing rod here anymore.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Guang was ready to return directly to the dock to sell fish.

On this trip, he caught more than 30 silvery fish, large and small.

The two protective talismans used to defend against the swordfish were not used, the armor talisman consumed two, and the frost talisman attached to the cold box consumed one. In addition to the spiritual stones consumed to drive the fishing boat, the total was about 1 spiritual stone.

Excluding the cost, I estimate that I can earn at least seven or eight spiritual stones.

The sun at noon follows people above their heads.

Even with the sea breeze, it was extremely hot.

Cao Guang didn't make any delay along the way. He drove the fishing boat as fast as possible and went straight to Nanwan Pier.

After arriving at the dock, as usual, first lower the anchor and then tie the cable.

Finally, the catch is collected.In fact, today's fish are all in the cold box, so there is nothing to deal with.

He put on a pair of string gloves and lifted the cold box.

Go straight to the fish collection point of the Qi brothers.

The eldest brother of the Qi family, Qi Shan, is in charge of collecting fish. He is dull and taciturn, but he is a kind man.

The younger brother Qi Hai is active in work, often walking on the dock, responsible for soliciting business.

No, Cao Guang is still more than ten meters away from the fishing point.

Qi Hai came over with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, we meet again. Come on, come on. When I see the frost charm on your water tank, I will know that I have caught something good."

While talking, Qi Hai led Cao Guang to the fish collection point.

After the two of them arrived at the fish collecting point, Cao Guang opened the cold box without any nonsense.

Qi Hai gently peeled off the broken ice on top with his hands. When he saw that the bottom was neatly covered with silvery fish, he subconsciously licked his mouth, looking very surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, you are really awesome. One person can catch more than two or three people."

Cao Guangchunfeng said politely: "Luck, luck, it's all luck."

"Ha, you are not just out of luck. I think fellow Taoist Cao is very good at fishing. The price is as mentioned yesterday. The half-foot-long 3 pieces of broken spirit per pound, and the one-foot-long piece of 5 broken spirits per pound. How about it? "

"Okay." Cao Guang nodded, showing that he was cooked rather than raw.

This price is not bad, and other fish collection points are not higher than this.

After hearing that his younger brother and Cao Guang were discussing the price, Qi Shan put on his gloves, held a wooden ruler, and began to carefully inspect the silver fish one by one.

After half a stick of incense.

Qishan nodded with satisfaction and praised without hesitation:

"This batch of silver fish from Fellow Daoist Cao is in very good condition. I have just sorted the fish into different categories with a ruler. If there is no objection, I will weigh them next."

"Well, weigh it."

“好，半尺长的银光鱼17条，总重5斤3两，共计1灵石5碎灵9星币。”

“一尺长的银光鱼14条，总重16斤8两，共计8灵石4碎灵。”

"The total value is 9 spiritual stones, 9 broken spirits, and 9 star coins. I'll round it up for you. How about 10 spiritual stones?"

"Okay, then I'd like to thank fellow Taoist Qishan."

After taking the spirit stone from Qi Shan, Cao Guang's heart beat faster. He looked around and quickly returned to the ship.

Then, he hid in the cabin, untied his belt, and hid the spirit stone in his crotch.

On the way home, Cao Guang walked quickly.

He didn't know if it was because he had a huge amount of money, but he always felt like someone was following him.

Along the way, Cao Guang held the soul protection talisman in his hand, ready to activate the talisman at any time.

But until he arrived in the town, no accident happened.

Open the door and go home.

My sister-in-law is changing baskets for red silkworms.

The red silkworm is a kind of spiritual silkworm unique to the Broken Star Sea area.

The brocade woven from its silk can be used to make low-level robes, so the silk is expensive.

But this kind of silkworm is very delicate. It likes to eat the young leaves of the fire mulberry tree. Every day, it has to change its basket, pour silkworm excrement, and bask in the sun. If you don't pay attention, it will die in front of you.

So few people keep them.

But since their cousin passed away, their family has been losing money day by day.

In order to supplement the family income, my sister-in-law had to work hard to raise red silkworms.

"Ah, Aguang, why did you come back so early today!"

When the sister-in-law heard the footsteps, she moved her head slightly, and her beautiful eyes lit up when she saw it was Cao Guang.

She stopped what she was doing and was about to step forward to help him pick up the long leather bag.

But after taking two steps, he seemed to think of something again.

He hurriedly turned his face away and covered it with his sleeves.

But at this time, Cao Guang had already seen something strange on his sister-in-law's face.

He rushed to his sister-in-law anxiously, took a deep breath, and grabbed the beautiful hand that was covering her face.

I saw four red and swollen finger prints clearly visible on my sister-in-law's pretty fair and pink face.

"Who, sister-in-law, tell me who it is!"

Cao Guang suppressed his anger and kept his tone calm.

"Oh, it's okay. It will disappear tomorrow. It doesn't matter."

"No, sister-in-law, tell me who it is. Don't worry, I will never be impulsive."

"Hey, okay, but you promise me not to go find her."

The sister-in-law's eyes were like those of a deer, staring at Cao Guang.

"Well, I promise you."

Cao Guang took his sister-in-law's weak and boneless hand and promised.

"Actually, it's Aunt Zhao next door. I went to buy mulberry leaves this morning and happened to meet her."

"She also raised a basket of red silkworms, but she went to the market late today and couldn't buy any mulberry leaves. Seeing me carrying a large bamboo basket of mulberry leaves, she insisted on buying mine. I refused. She also said this The mulberry leaves were originally left for her by the stall owner, but they were snatched away by me."

"Then later, she just started grabbing it, snatching most of my mulberry leaves, and even slapped me."

Xu is really aggrieved.

As the sister-in-law spoke, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't bear it any longer, burying her head in Cao Guang's arms and crying bitterly.

"Aunt Zhao next door, Mrs. Zhao!"

"It turns out to be her, Huang Daoyou's old mother, the half-aged lady who had sex with the single old man last night."

Cao Guang murmured to himself while gently patting his sister-in-law's jade back.

Its narrow red phoenix eyes were full of cold light.
