Golden Fishing Village

It is a tradition of the local people in Hongyang that there are no big catfish in reservoirs, ponds and lakes.

Probably because in the traditional legends, catfish eat corpses, so they are always linked to ghosts, so the appearance of big catfish in closed waters is believed to be a catfish spirit, which will harm the village.

Because the village is close to the lake and the sea, Ao Muyang has heard many stories about water ghosts since he was a child. According to his memory, if the story is more feudal and supernatural, then the water ghost is the drowned person, and if the story is more realistic and technological, then the water ghost is often a catfish spirit...

This is related to the catfish's big mouth and scavenging characteristics. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a ghost in the lake. Once it grows big, it will be very dangerous. At the least, it will eat birds and ducks, and at the worst, it will drag children to the bottom of the water and drown them.

It is very tiring to eat catfish. When making catfish pot, no one scolds it as a water ghost or a monster...

When the men learned that a super-large catfish of one and a half meters appeared in Ambergris Lake, they became active and discussed taking fishing rods to catch it.

Ao Daguo asked Ao Muyang: "Dragon Head, go and shout on the loudspeaker. We need to mobilize the whole village to deal with this fish. We just released the crab seedlings. If we don't catch it quickly, how many crab seedlings will it eat?"

This is true. When the catfish grows to one and a half meters in size, its feeding habits are very fierce. The small catfish eats humus at the bottom of the lake. The big catfish has to catch fish and shrimp to fill its stomach. The crab seedlings just put into the lake are tender and can be crushed with a pinch. They are even more food for catfish.

Ao Muyang said: "Why mobilize the whole village? It just happened that there has been no fishing competition for a while. Let's set up a prize of 10,000 yuan to attract anglers and tourists to participate in the competition. Spring is here, and it's time to create some news to attract tourists."

Longxiang Lake is now a holy place for local freshwater anglers in Hongyang. The scenery by the lake is beautiful, the water in the lake is abundant, and there are many harvests after fishing. In addition, the local public security is good, so you can fish with confidence.

However, Ao Muyang does not allow unlimited fishing activities. People can come to fish, but they are not allowed to fish on the shore. They must take a boat to fish on the lake.

Now that Longxiang Lake is contracted by him, all the small boats in the lake are rafts and wooden boats put down by Longtou Village, so if you want to take a boat into the lake, you have to rent a small boat in the village, which is not a small income for the village.

Since a fishing competition is to be organized, the location must be opened up. People can take a boat into the lake or sit on a small stool by the lake to fish.

That day, Ao Wenchang designed a poster about fishing catfish, and then sent it to several surrounding villages and towns to post it. At the same time, he posted an advertisement on the fishing enthusiasts forum in Hongyang. People started fishing in the afternoon.

Ao Muyang also went fishing. Ao Mudong pointed at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Longtou, you are not doing your job. You should go out to sea with the boat when you have time. Especially the Longtou, how long has it been docked at the dock? Is it rusty?"

Old Ao looked at the fishing rod and bucket in his hand and asked with a puzzled face: "I understand what you said, but what are these in your hand? What are you going to do?"

Ao Mudong said confidently: "Go fishing for catfish, the prize is 10,000 yuan."

"Why don't you go out to sea?" Ao Muyang asked.

Ao Mudong was even more confident: "Haven't I just come back to rest for two days? Besides, whether I go out to sea or not has no effect on the catch."

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "What you said really makes sense."

Ao Mudong asked happily: "Then will you go with the fishing boat next time it goes out to sea?"

Ao Muyang shook his head again and said, "No, I won't go. In spring, we need to take care of our health and rest. Do you understand?"

He went to fish for catfish just to join in the fun. If he had nothing to do at home, he might as well go to the lake and sit in the spring breeze. Now the sun is warm and not dry, and it is most comfortable to stay in the wild.

There are many boats parked by the lake, and there are also some boats on the lake. Some boats have white-bearded old men sitting on them. The old man sits on a small stool, and some cormorants stand side by side.

Ao Muyang found a boat and rowed onto the lake, then began to throw shredded chicken liver into the lake.

This is chicken liver bait, which can attract carnivorous fish such as bighead catfish and bighead carp.

Catfishing is not that easy, especially during the day. Catfish hide in deep water during the day because of the strong sunlight. They usually rest in the middle of the water or at the bottom of the lake. In the dim light environment at night, catfish will come out to forage in large quantities.

The reason why the big catfish was startled in the morning, Ao Muyang estimated, was because there were too many crab seedlings put into the lake at that time. The crab seedlings entered the lake along the bottom of the lake, and attracted the catfish that were originally hiding at the bottom of the lake.

He waited for a while after throwing in the chicken liver bait, and no big fish was caught, so he wiped his face and lay on the boat, put his head into the lake and scanned left and right.

There were still a lot of fish in the water, and a group of carp were chasing underwater. They saw the chicken liver on the hook, but they had no intention of swallowing it.

Because Lao Ao's target was the big catfish, he used a thick fishing line. The carp could see the existence of the fishing line clearly in the water, and they were not stupid enough to find that the fishing line would still bite the hook.

After sweeping for a while without finding a big catfish, Ao Muyang lost interest. He returned to the boat, put down the fishing rod and asked the general to come over and catch it with his mouth, and then continued to clean the dog hair for the general.

Seeing this, Wolf Two, who was originally lying on the boat and slapping the boat board with his tail out of boredom, suddenly had his eyes brightened. He lifted his butt, put his head on the floor, and lay on his front legs, and then he came over like a bulldozer.

He rushed straight to the general and hit the general's butt with his head.

The general dared not move with the fishing rod in his mouth, so he turned his eyes to look behind him, but he could not see behind him. His completely black eyes were all white, and he still didn't know what was hitting him from behind.

Wolf Two hit the general a few times and found that the general did not react. He stretched out his claws and scratched his buttocks again. Both claws scratched together, and the dog's hair flew everywhere.

The general whimpered in his throat. He could not move because of his duty.

Ao Muyang stopped and looked at Wolf Two. Wolf Two turned his head to look at him, and then turned back to continue to torment the general. A wolf's tail could swing left and right. It seemed that it was very happy to torment the general.

When it became arrogant, Ao Muyang reached out and took the fishing rod from the general's mouth.

The general suddenly turned around and looked at Wolf Two with a cold look. Wolf Two's head was still on the board. He was surprised to find that the dog's buttocks in front of him were gone. Then he raised his head and saw the general grinning.

The boat suddenly started to sway, and the general came down from above like a mountain pressing down on the head of Wolf Two, who was pressed against the boat board with his butt that had been tickled all the time.

This time, Wolf Two started to whimper, and when he saw Wolf Big running over, the general thought he was going to attack him, but Wolf Big didn't look at him, and bit his brother's butt instead.
