Chapter 17: Fishing(2/2)
"This fishhook is iron!" Hu Tou exclaimed.
Wei Cheng took out a matchbox from his pocket and said, "Do you like it? I have a lot more here, so I'll give you a few."
Hao Zhao, who had set up the fishing net, walked over and saw the silver fishhook shining in the sunlight, and his eyes widened unconsciously.
Compared to the bone hooks he made himself, Wei Cheng's hooks are simply works of art.
He couldn't help but asked worriedly: "With such a thin iron hook, wouldn't it be easy to break if the fish is bigger?"
Wei Cheng said funny: "No, this hook can easily catch a big fish weighing less than thirty kilograms."
Hao Zhao had a look of disbelief. His father, Hao Dadao, had also tried to make fishhooks out of iron. Unfortunately, it was hard enough, but it was easy to break. Especially when the iron hook was polished so finely, even a child could easily break it in two.
Wei Cheng didn't explain too much. When he saw that the tiger head had put on the bait, he just threw the hook skillfully.
With a 'pop' sound, the fishhook fell into the water, and the buoy made of reed stems stood firmly on the water.
Hao Zhao and the others looked at each other and put on their own baits. However, they used their own bone hooks. Firstly, they were embarrassed to take Wei Cheng's things, and secondly, they still didn't trust iron hooks very much.
The four of them just sat leisurely on the warm rocks next to the shallows, with warm sunlight shining directly through the mountain stream. The three of them, Hao Zhao, took off their straw sandals and soaked their feet directly into the cold stream water.
Wei Cheng followed suit and took off his boots and put his feet into the water. The cold touch made him shiver.
At this moment, Hao Zhao's buoy reacted. Before he could see how he moved, he saw a large, shiny silver horsemouth flying past in front of him and landing steadily behind him at the edge of the warm stone.
Get up in the small pool.
Wei Cheng was startled, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden pull on his fishing rod.
Hutou hurriedly shouted: "Son, please close the pole quickly, looking at this posture, he must be a big guy."
Wei Cheng tightened his hands and grabbed the fishing rod tightly. Perhaps he used too much force, and the bamboo fishing rod broke with a 'click'.
Wei Cheng stared at this scene blankly, unable to react for a while.
Fortunately, Hao Zhao next to him had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the flying half of the bamboo pole, then pulled it hard and wrapped the hemp rope around his wrist.
As he slowly retrieved it, a huge black fish came into view.
Hu Tou, who was about to help reel in the line, exclaimed: "Brother Zhao, let go quickly, it's a snake fish."
Hearing this, Hao Zhao shouted: "You can't let it go. I finally caught one. I have to kill it no matter what today. I want to avenge my fishing net."
It was too late, but soon, Hao Zhao took a step back, and the big black fish in the water was pulled out of the water by him, and he hit it hard on the warm stone, splashing water all over the ground. At this moment, Ma
The fishing line made of rope was also worn down by its sharp teeth.
Looking at the gap in the fishing line, Hao Zhao was furious, picked up the broken fishing rod, and accurately stabbed the big black fish rolling on the ground to death.
After venting his anger, Hu Tou said in surprise: "It's amazing. The hook didn't break. We caught a snake fish. Haha, they will definitely be jealous to death if we go back and call them Brother Tou."
Wei Cheng looked at the dead black fish and asked curiously: "Is this fish difficult to catch?"
Hutou explained: "It's not difficult to catch, and it should be said that it's easy to get hooked. But once it gets hooked, it swallows the bait and hook together. The snake fish is very strong and has sharp teeth in its mouth, so the hook can be easily caught."
It broke, and even Brother Zhao's fishing net was not spared."
At this time, Hao Zhao found Wei Cheng's fishhook from the fish's mouth. Seeing that the fishhook was intact, Hutou let out another exclamation.
