Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 237 Final Harvest

Seeing the fishing rod running away, the three of them put down their food and ran over. By the time they reached the river, the fishing rod had been pulled two or three meters into the water.

"Holy shit, what should I do?" Lin Yue was helpless as he watched the fishing rod being dragged away bit by bit.

"I come."

Lin Heng said with a smile, took his fishing rod and used a fishhook to hook it.

This is really three meals a day, eating, sleeping, playing on mobile phones, and not eating unless doing other things. It is very metaphysical.

I took the fishing rod and hooked it twice and finally hooked it. It took a lot of effort to pull it ashore.

Lin Yue picked up the fishing rod and pulled it, and said excitedly: "The fish didn't run away."

Both he and Lin's father didn't dare to fish away at all, so they pulled the fish directly to the shore. Fortunately, the line used by Lin Heng was thick enough.

"It's another plum fish. This one is a little bigger, weighing two pounds." Father Lin looked at the fish in his eldest son's hand and said with a smile.

After catching a fresh stream grouper again, he continued to cast the rod. After a while, he felt another pulling sensation, and when he pulled it up, it was a plum blossom.

Lin Heng raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I judged that there are fish there. In addition to this big one, I also caught two small ones."

"Mandarin fish, this mandarin fish must weigh four to five kilograms."

Lin Heng gave a thumbs up from a distance. His father was happy and he was happy in his heart.

Lin Heng nodded with a smile and said: "There are indeed a lot of fish here. It will definitely be better to fish when we come back in a month or two."

Lin Heng looked at it and kept it in the small water next to it.

"Hey, I am no longer in the Air Force today." Lin Yue said with a smile. Lin Heng often said that he was from the Air Force, and he was also infected.

Fearing that the fish would get under the rock and be unable to be pulled out, Lin Heng also chose to pull violently. A palm-sized mandarin fish was pulled directly out of the water. The olive-colored fish body was full of beauty.

There are indeed a lot of fish here and the scenery is beautiful. It is a good place.

Although it only looks like seven or eight taels, it’s not bad. I throw it into the small water and continue fishing.

Unknowingly, he was already seven or eight hundred meters away from his father and elder brother. If he went further and turned a corner, he would lose sight of them.

"It's not big, but it's pretty good. Take it back and keep it."

"No, you can't go into the cracks in the rocks."

Just when Lin Heng was about to continue walking up, the river wind brought his father's laughter.

His guess was correct, fish were indeed hidden in this place, and the complex water depth and environment were a good place to hide fish.

Looking from a distance, his father was holding a plum fish sparkling in the sun, and his face that had been carved by time was filled with an expression of joy.

"Son, let's do another one!"

However, he did not go back, but continued to move forward against the ruthless river wind. After passing this bend, the river bank became a little narrower, but because it was winter, there were still many dry places in the river bed, and he could continue to move forward.

The sun was now warm, and the sand under his feet seemed to be covered with a golden coat. The sky was blue, and the sunlight cast sparkling waves on the river, making it extremely difficult for Lin Heng to see clearly what was going on in the water.

Fortunately, the fish was not very strong in winter, so he managed to pull it to the edge after a lot of effort. After another slip, he finally pulled it to the surface for the first time and saw its true form.

After walking for more than two hundred meters, Lin Heng came to a location covered with rocks. This kind of place is definitely an ideal hunting spot for mandarin fish and salmon.

Lin Heng took the fishhook and ran down with the fish in both hands. At this time, he wished that the whole world knew that he had caught a level 4 or 5 giant mandarin fish.

Lin Heng was very excited when he looked at this mandarin fish, which was a little bit black on his body. This mandarin fish was big and well-developed.

He was so disappointed with this place that he couldn't believe that he couldn't catch even one when he was fishing around with his fishing rod.

After throwing countless poles along the river, the creek grouper couldn't bear the back and forth swinging and died. Lin Heng caught two more poles and hung them up again.

"Everyone go, this place won't work anymore." Father Lin also nodded.

Lin Heng gritted his teeth and pulled back hard. The bamboo pole was a bit too soft and he couldn't use his strength.

Two came in just ten minutes and then suddenly stopped, and there was no one for half an hour. Just when Lin Heng was about to change places to retrieve the fish, there was a sudden pause, and then the fishing rod was instantly pulled into a big bow.

"Holy crap, big fish, big fish!!"

When he lost the ball for the thirteenth time, there was a pause, and there was an obvious feeling on his hand.

Lin Heng's excited hands trembled a little. This pulling force was unprecedented, and the tip of the fishing rod was pulled into the water.

After looking at the creek grouper that could still bounce a few times on the hook, Lin Heng threw it in and started fishing again.

"Holy shit, brother, you're going to be awesome!" Lin Yue ran over to greet him. This fish was too big.

"Awesome, let's go up too." Lin Yue couldn't wait to go up after hearing this.

"Dad, brother, what do you think this is?"

Father Lin, who had been staring at the river, turned their gazes around, and their eyes widened when they took a closer look.

Putting this fish into the fish guard, the three of them continued to eat. After the meal was over, there was no movement from the fishing rod. Lin Heng tried the previous method for half an hour, but no more fish took the bait.

Father Lin also praised repeatedly: "It's awesome, it's awesome. This fish weighs four or five kilograms. Did you catch it on top?"

"Get up you!"

After slipping back and forth for two times, Lin Heng couldn't wait to pull the fishing line back. After a while, the fish was caught in his hand. The mouth was so big that it could be his daughter's fist. The mountain was dark brown and looked a bit black.

The high-pitched voice came before anyone arrived.

Lin Heng put the fish into the fish guard, checked the firmness of the fish guard, then took the plastic bucket and led the two of them up.

Lin Heng was still very excited while walking on the road, and kept telling his father and elder brother how he caught it. The two of them were also excited when they heard it, and they walked quickly towards the top. Down below, they caught a fish that Father Lin had caught before, but there was no more fish after that.

"This is it. These are the two small ones I caught."

Lin Heng pointed to the place where he was fishing, and then pointed to the two small fish in the puddle.

The 1980s were great. Before his rebirth, he couldn't believe that wild fishing was such a resource. Wild fishing was a 90% success, and big fish didn't even dare to think about it.

"sharp."

Lin Yue said with a smile and threw his fishing rod in without saying a word.

Lin Heng caught a big one and was so satisfied that he gave up his position to guide his elder brother and father in fishing.

"I've got a fish!"

After a while, Lin Yue excitedly pulled up a plum blossom weighing half a catty.

Father Lin felt paused and failed to hit him three times in a row, but even so, it was much more enjoyable than the previous place.

"Dad, don't be anxious, wait for it to eat for a while." Lin Heng looked at his father and said with a smile.

Father Lin nodded: "Okay, I'll try."

About three minutes later, he came again and after listening to Lin Heng's words, he slowed down the speed of lifting the pole. After a while, a beautiful mandarin fish was pulled out of the water by him.

"Hey, this place is okay." Father Lin looked at the mandarin fish in his hand with a heartfelt smile on his face.

"Dad, you keep fishing, I'll catch some creek groupers."

Lin Heng said with a smile and walked towards the stream above. The three of them fished happily together, and he was happy even if there was no harvest. He felt that life should be lived like this. After rummaging in the creek for a while, Lin Heng caught ten creek groupers that were five to six centimeters long. Although the water was extremely cold in winter, the fish were much stupider, so it was much easier to catch them.

Taking the fish, Lin Heng turned around and went back.

"Son, how about you come fishing?" Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and said.

"No, you fish, I'll walk around and play for a while."

Lin Heng waved his hand and placed the fish next to him. Seeing that Lin Heng didn't want to play, Lin's father had no choice but to continue trying.

Lin Heng walked further up, and Daxi placed a huge black stone in the shape of a round cake by the river. The surface of the stone was polished by the water flow and was as smooth as a mirror, and it felt very delicate to the touch.

For him, this was simply a natural bed. When he climbed up and lay down, the black stone absorbed the heat of the sun and was very warm when he lay on it. He could feel the constant heat flowing into his body.

Cover your head with clothes and lie on it to bask in the sun. It's so beautiful. The warm sun in winter is just right.

Feeling the river breeze blowing by my ears and listening to the noise of the turbulent water, I felt the beauty of forgetting all my troubles. I fell into a state of letting myself go, quiet and free, solid and lonely.

I fell asleep without realizing it, and when I got up again I looked at my watch and found that I had slept for half an hour.

As we walked on, my father and elder brother continued fishing and had changed places.

"How's it going?"

Lin Heng asked curiously.

Father Lin shook his head and said, "After you left, we caught another mandarin fish weighing half a catty, and then it ran out of fish. We moved around and didn't catch anything."

"Okay, let me try."

Lin Heng nodded and went to pick up his fishing rod and hang it on the creek grouper to test around.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, the time had reached half past three, and the sun had left the valley and was halfway up the hillside. There was no sun and the river breeze was chilly.

"Forget it, I'll go see if I can catch crucian carp over there where the nest is made." Lin Heng shook his head and gave up. The fish don't move around this winter, so it will be difficult to catch another one after fishing.

The really big fish are all in deep water.

"Let's try crucian carp too."

Father Lin also decided not to fish for plum blossoms and mandarin fish.

After taking down all the fish and putting them in the fish guard, Lin Heng counted them. There were exactly ten fish in total. He caught four, his father caught four, and his eldest brother Lin Yue only caught two.

Among the ten fish, there were five mandarin fish and five plum blossoms, with a total weight of more than ten kilograms. The main reason was that the mandarin fish Lin Heng caught was big enough and accounted for half of the weight.

These are carnivorous fish and are much tastier than ordinary fish.

Change the hook to the smallest size, put on earthworms and start fishing for crucian carp.

"Crack!!"

Half an hour later, Lin Heng directly broke the bamboo pole in his hand into two sections.

"No more fishing, let's walk around, these cheap fish don't know what to do."

Lin Heng said as he reeled in the fishing line, if it weren't for the lack of explosives, he would have really wanted to blow up the fish to see if there were any fish. He would be so angry.

"Then let's go, it's really no fun anymore."

Father Lin also started to reel in the fishing line.

As soon as the fishing line was collected, all the fish were poured into the two plastic buckets they brought. Whether they were dead or alive depended on their own destiny.

The things were put away, the garbage was taken away, and the three of them got in the car.

Lin Heng drove the car without intending to go back. Instead, he continued walking up to see what was going on up there so he could come back next time.

As you go up, the cliffs on both sides become steeper. The road is narrow and dangerous. If you fall off the road, you will definitely die.

After walking about four or five kilometers, the highway disappeared and turned into a half-meter narrow road. You can still see some ancient plank roads on the opposite side.

"It is said that you can walk five kilometers from here to the foot of Taibai Mountain, and there are one or two villages there." Father Lin said.

Lin Heng nodded and looked up from here to see that Taibai Mountain was very close at hand. The peaks here were mostly covered with shrubs, moss and weeds, and looked a bit bare.

However, Wangshan is a dead horse. If you want to enter Taibai Mountain, you will probably have to walk more than ten kilometers. No matter how you say it, it is definitely much closer than walking from Hongfeng Mountain.

And there is an ancient road leading directly to the peak. Although it is difficult to walk, some places may have been in disrepair.

"Find a chance to come over and explore. Climb Mount Taibai and have a look." Lin Heng said to himself. The road leading to the foot of Mount Taibai is difficult to pass with three wheels, but riding a motorcycle should be no problem.

"Well, let's go together when I buy a shotgun." Lin Yue also nodded.

After watching for a while, the three of them gave up the idea of ​​getting out of the car and walking inside. Mainly because time is running out and it’s time to go home.

On the way back, whenever they encountered a place with water, the three of them would stop to change the water for the fish, trying to ensure its survival.

The first half was fine, but in the second half the road was too far away from the river, and the three of them were too lazy to change.

Under the setting sun, the three of them returned to Hongfeng Village at 5:30. They parked the car and Lin Heng first ran home carrying a bucket.

"What's wrong? I'm in a hurry." Xiulan opened the door and looked at Lin Heng who ran into the house.

"I'm afraid my fish will die. These fish are all good fish."

Lin Heng said as he ran towards the backyard, Xiaoxia Xiongba followed him.

Putting the fishing net in the big wooden basin, Lin Heng felt a chill in his heart. Ten fish were tightly packed, the gills of three small mandarin fish and a plum fish were still moving.

"There are so many fish, Dad! I want to eat this fish." Xiaoxia pointed to the largest mandarin fish and said.

"I'll make it for you tomorrow."

As Lin Heng said this, he caught three mandarin fish and plum blossom fish and put them into the secondary reservoir coming out of the well. This place has the most oxygen.

As for the others, all of them died, so naturally there was no way to save them.

"You guys have a pretty good harvest today. Who caught the biggest one?"

Xiulan walked in and looked at the fish in the basin and asked curiously.

"Of course it's me." Lin Heng raised his chin, very proudly.

"so smart?"

"Of course, I'm a fishing master."

Lin Heng said a few words, then ran out and drove the car in.

When Father Lin and the others came in and found out that only four fish had any hope of survival, they were all very disappointed.

"It's no pity. You guys can divide the remaining fish that Dad has. I'll just take this big mandarin fish." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"What's the difference? If you make it, we can come over and eat it." Father Lin shook his head and said.

Lin Yue also said: "That's right, it's all about eating anyway, so we can still enjoy a meal at your house."

Lin Heng didn't show any pretense, nodded and said: "We will cook these fish that night."
