Chapter 134: Extreme joy leads to sorrow, the world is unpredictable

"Looks like we caught a really big fish!"

Shen Zhiqiu felt the heavy fishing rod in his hand and knew that he had caught a big fish this time. He gripped the rod tightly and tried to pull the fish ashore.

Seeing this, Shen Youyou quickly turned around and called to the cave: "Come quickly, there is a big fish, help my father pull it out."

After a while, Shen Youyou hurried over with her uncle, fourth uncle, eldest uncle and Erhu.

When they arrived, Shen Zhiqiu had already successfully pulled the fish ashore.

This fish is indeed not small, it is a big catfish weighing six or seven pounds.

Shen Youyou was stunned with surprise. She didn't expect her father to catch the fish so quickly.

Shen Zhiqiu happily put the struggling catfish into the bucket. The catfish was very strong and struggled constantly, almost knocking over the bucket.

Finally, with the help of several people who followed him, Shen Zhiqiu was able to untie the fishhook.

"Now we can really have a meal of catfish." Shen Zhiqiu said happily.

At this moment, Shen Youyou suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded:

"Dad, hurry up and keep casting the rod. Maybe there are catfish. If it's the same as the duckbill fish just now, it will be enough for us to eat."

After hearing his daughter's words, Shen Zhiqiu immediately felt that it made sense and his spirits were lifted.

He quickly put on the bait and went fishing. This time Shen Zhiqiu didn't let Shen Youyou fish, not because he didn't trust his daughter's skills, but because he was afraid that a big fish would pull his daughter into the water.

It can be said that Shen Zhiqiu's luck was really good today. In about half an hour, he caught six big catfish.

Shen Youyou was so envious that she felt her hands itching and wanted to cast a few shots herself.

But she also knew that her current body was not the same as in her previous life and had not yet fully developed. Although she practiced martial arts every day, she did not take any powerful pills.

And looking at the bottomless underground river, I was a little afraid that I would be pulled in.

Shen Zhichun and the others standing by were numb, but still very happy. After all, they had caught seven fish, including the first one, and the smallest one weighed four or five kilograms.

Erhu went in and out several times, and Li Jingshu and the other women in charge of cooking had already started preparing to stew the fish.

However, because Li Jingshu had made bone yam soup before, she planned to stew the catfish into braised fish.

Anyway, they have sugar, and it smells like pine.

Shen Zhiqiu became more and more addicted to fishing and could hardly stop. He even fantasized about making his own fishing net and casting it into the water to catch countless big fish.

"Third brother, when did you learn to fish? When we were little, you were the only one who couldn't catch any fish."

Shen Zhichun asked suddenly. Actually, he was not doubting anything. He just asked casually because his third brother had only been interested in studying since he was a child. He had no experience in such things as catching fish in the water or trapping birds in trees.

In this respect, he and his eldest brother are the exact opposite of his third brother. When he was a child, he even liked his eldest brother more because his eldest brother could take him to play all over the mountains and fields.

But my third brother is not like that. He likes to stay at home and read books all day long, like a nerd.

When Shen Zhiqiu heard this, he didn't feel strange at all, but said calmly: "My skills are not good now, maybe there are too many fish in the water, or maybe I'm lucky. If you don't believe me, try it."

What he said was not false. Shen Zhiqiu was even worse than Shen Youyou, who was a jack of all trades. He himself felt puzzled by the way these fish were caught.

When Shen Zhidong heard this, he became interested and took over the fishing job.

As a result, he had better luck this time. Not long after he got the fishing rod in his hand, the fishing line shook again.

Shen Zhidong imitated his third brother and started to shake the handle, but the resistance was too great. Even a strong laborer like him felt exhausted.

The palm ropes were stretched so tight that even the bamboo poles were bent into bows.

When Shen Zhiqiu and others saw this situation, they came to help Shen Zhidong.

Shen Zhiqiu told him to hold the handle tightly, while the others lifted the fishing rod together and pulled back at the same time to fight against the powerful force underwater.

Shen Youyou quickly pulled her two younger brothers aside, fearing that one of them would get excited and fall into the water.

Especially Shen Yuanbao and Shen Luming were jumping up and down excitedly: "Big fish, there is a big fish!"

Shen Youyou was also very nervous, mainly because she was afraid that the fishing line and fishing rod would not be able to hold up.

After all, she didn't intend to catch any big fish with this simple fishing rod.

Everyone worked together and finally pulled the fish out of the water. It was a bigger catfish, weighing more than ten pounds!

"What a big fish!" Shen Youyou exclaimed.

Shen Zhidong just showed a smug look on his face.

The fishing line could no longer hold on, and ended its mission prematurely, breaking! The big catfish fell into the water again, splashing water.

"Oh!" Shen Yuanbao and Shen Luming were very anxious.

"It's okay, it's okay. Wait until my fishing net is made and then we can go fishing. There must be a lot of big fish in this underground river." Shen Zhiqiu comforted.

In fact, he was also depressed and was determined to make his fishing net as soon as possible.

His fishing net is much stronger than the fishing rod made by his daughter. We'll see if these fish can break his fishing net.

Since the fishing line is broken and the fish hook is gone, today's fishing activities have come to an end.

Although everyone felt sorry that the fish had escaped after they found out, they were still very happy because they had fresh fish to eat today.

Not only that, it also made them sure that there were big fish in the water. If the third brother's fishing net was well made, it would prove that they would not lack meat to eat throughout the winter.

This was something they could never even imagine before.

I guess everyone has the same idea. Father Shen suddenly said, "I think we should do some processing tonight. The fishing net will be almost ready."

Shen Zhiqiu was actually still a little unwilling, but he nodded in agreement: "Okay, we'll do some processing at night. Anyway, we have candles and can see clearly. We'll use nets to fish tomorrow."

Fearing that his daughter would be unhappy, and that everyone would be upset by this incident, he spoke again:

"Don't feel sorry for the catfish. Fishing is like this. Any result is possible. It's similar to our life. It's unpredictable."

Shen Fugui laughed: "What a pity! It's not like we haven't caught fish before. Who can guarantee that we can catch them every time? Besides, haven't we already caught several fish? We can have a good meal tonight."

Shen Zhiqiu was happy because he liked Shen Fugui's character. Although his life was the most difficult in the village, he was also very content.

The dusk and night are alluring, yet vaguely eerie.

The snow-covered mountains and forests seem particularly peaceful.

Li Jingshu stood in front of the stove, wearing a green jacket and skirt, and an apron she had made herself.

There were occasional oil stains on it, but it did not diminish her elegance and composure at all.

Her long black hair was casually tied up, with a few strands of hair gently falling in front of her forehead, adding a touch of gentleness to her.

There were four wooden plates on the bamboo table beside me, filled with catfish cut into pieces. Cutting the catfish into pieces made it easier to share the rice.

But now, they have no other seasonings except sugar, salt, and a little soy sauce. However, the old doctor has ginger slices, peppercorns, and star anise.

As for vinegar, Shen Youyou had made some fruit vinegar from the wild pears she had picked before, so she could just use that.
