Chapter 2 Straight Hook Fishing

After putting the earthworms on the thorns, Shi Zheng threw the fishing line into the river. The first wood pierced into the water and the fishing line immediately stretched out. Even the small tree bound to the fishing line shook violently, and then returned to calm, then straightened and calm again.

The little boy rolled his eyes hard while watching, and at the same time he had such a true and teasing expression on his face.

Shi Zheng ignored the first time the fishing line was straightened, and continued to pierce the remaining two woods and threw the earthworms into the water. Then he quietly watched the fishing line keep straightening and calm.

It was not until the three-meter-long fishing line was straightened and kept slashing left and right that Shi Zheng quickly grabbed the fishing line and pulled it back. Although the food was very fierce, the fish was not very big.

Shi Zheng didn't spend much effort to pull up a fish with a sharp teeth, like an eel.

This eel is very fierce in the water. It can tear off a piece of human flesh in one bite. When it comes to the shore, it keeps twisting hard until it is covered with dry soil, and then it slowly calms down.

When the little boy saw Shi Zheng really pulled a fish from the river, he immediately ran over with his eyes lit up. Seeing that it was a ferocious eel, he was even more excited and trembling all over.

As Shi Zheng pulled out two eels from the river one by one, one by one, two small ones, the little boy screamed excitedly. Although Shi Zheng couldn't understand what he was saying, he knew that the little guy was admiring himself by his tone and expression.

The little boy said it out loud, then clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as if he had made some major decision, and finally kowtowed to Shi Zheng.

Shi Zheng frowned and pondered for a moment, pulled the first eel over, took off the wooden thorns from the eel's mouth, then twisted the wooden thorns and put them in front of the little boy and raised his eyebrows at him.

The little boy nodded vigorously with his eyebrows and eyes smiling.

Shi Zheng nodded in response with a smile.

Then Shi Zheng began to teach the little boy how to fish with a straight hook. The first step was naturally to penetrate the earthworms, then throw the wood thorns into the water, and then wait.

The principle of straight hook fishing is actually not complicated. After the fishing line is tied between the wooden thorns, one end of the wooden thorn is sharp and the other end is thick. Due to the center of gravity, the sharp end naturally faces up.

When the fish bites the hook, the sharp-up head pierces the fish's mouth, and the thick head will be stuck in the fish's mouth, so that the fish can be pulled up. Of course, fishing in this way will definitely make the fish's mouth not big or small, and it can swallow the thorns and get stuck.

This is also the reason why Shi Zheng was still calm at the beginning even though he knew that there were fishes eating bait. He quickly took back the fish line after the fish was steadily eaten.

Fortunately, the various fish in this small river eat very fiercely. Even if they have straight hooks, they are not afraid of not being able to catch fish.

After a while, Shi Zheng caught seven or eight eels one after another. Whenever he caught an eel, the little boy was excited and looked at Shi Zheng with admiration.

Every time the little guy looked at this, Shi Zheng would frown slightly, because every time the little guy looked at this, Shi Zheng would feel a little dazed, as if something had entered the consciousness.

In the end, Shi Zheng had to hand over the fishing matter to the little boy, and he was responsible for removing the wooden thorns.

This eel is very ferocious. Shi Zheng waited for it tossing and not moving much on the dry soil, and stuffed the wooden snails into the fish's mouth before giving it out.

There are three fishing lines, one in the water and two on the shore, and they just can turn around.

The three fishing lines vary in length, and the size of the wood thorns they tie are also different. The eels that can be caught correspond to one pound, two pounds, and about three pounds of eels.

It’s not that Shi Zheng doesn’t want to catch bigger fish, but mainly because the eels are too great and it’s difficult for Shi Zheng to quickly pull up, and these three portions of eels are also enough for Shi Zheng to eat.

After more than half an hour of struggle, the little boy finally stopped. Maybe he was tired or bored.

The little boy rested for a while and began to pick up eels into the carpet. The fish caught were more than 40 large and small, and the weight was almost 100 kilograms. He was filled with a full carpet.

The little boy dragged his back and looked at Shi Zheng. He could never get the weight, and he obviously wanted Shi Zheng to be a coolie.

Shi Zheng shook his head with a wry smile. The scars on his feet that were bitten by this eel have not healed yet. In addition, he lacked food and clothing during this period, Shi Zheng can't get around 100 pounds now.

Seeing Shi Zheng's weak look, the little boy frowned and looked at the direction of the village, then looked at the eels inside the back, then looked at Shi Zheng, and finally stood there without moving.

Shi Zheng sighed, looked around, then found two sticks to put them under the back, then tied the stick and the back tightly with fishing lines, then pulled one back and pointed at the other back and signaled to the little boy.

The little boy learned to Shi Zheng to hold another back tie in confusion, and then Shi Zheng dragged forward hard. The little boy also tried hard together, and the back began to slide on the ground.

After dragging more than 100 meters away, Shi Zheng felt that he had no strength, so he stopped to rest. With the way to move his back, the little boy was not that awkward, so he stopped to rest with Shi Zheng.

After breathing evenly, the two dragged their backs again.

So the little boy's face was flushed, and Shi Zheng walked towards the city step by step with wooden guards.

After handing over two black metal coins, the two entered the city and finally exchanged a carpet for nearly a thousand black metal coins.

The little boy gave half of the metal coins to Shi Zheng.

Shi Zheng was not polite either. He smiled and accepted it. His situation is not good now, and it is the time to need the money.

Then the little boy exchanged the grassroots under the carpet for two metal coins, bought some food and daily necessities, and then took Shi Zheng to leave the city.

As he watched the little boy spending money carefully, Shi Zheng touched the four or five kilograms of metal coins in his arms, and couldn't help but take this little guy a little more seriously.

I obviously need money, but I am willing to have clear accounts and have not been generous after getting rich. It is naturally not surprising that such a personality appears in an old man, but it is rare to appear in a little doll of seven or eight years old.

Back in the village outside the city, the little boy brought Shi Zheng back to his home.

It was lunch time, and smoke from cooking was rising in every household.

The little boy's family is also at home, his father is ill in bed, his mother is withered and his sister is thin.
