Chapter 2 Red Carp Containing Pearls
In the early morning, the rising sun rose in the sky, madly swallowing the last trace of darkness left at night.
Ling Feng had already gotten up at the 5th o'clock in the morning, and Ling Fan did not miss the warmth of the bed. After washing up, he ate something and went out with Ling Feng.
Today he is going to go into the water to catch fish with Ling Feng.
There is a big river beside Qingshan Town, and on the other side is a mountain range that cannot be seen.
The morning mist has not yet dissipated, and the water flows on the vast river is not very fast. A small boat sails into the river and moves forward with the water flow.
There were two figures on the boat, they were the father and son of the Ling family.
Ling Fan took out a paper bag from his arms and opened it. It was wrapped in a handful of soil, and something seemed to be squirming in the soil.
This is a pack of earthworms. Only living earthworms can fish, so they need to be kept in soil.
The Ling family’s father and son fishing is not considered “catching” because they don’t use fishing nets, they only use two fishing rods.
If you catch a few fat fish a day, don’t be greedy. Eat one at home, sell the rest, and earn a few coins to buy some food, rice, oil and salt. It’s just enough for life.
Before, Ling Fan asked: "Why not catch more?"
Ling Feng replied: "Everything must be stopped in time. As a human being, you must restrain your greed. Desire is like an abyss, and will eventually swallow yourself."
At that time, Ling Fan was just a little boy and felt dizzy and couldn't understand.
Now that I have grown up, I understand a lot more things, and I understand the "big truths" a little bit, and Ling Fan's views on his father have changed a lot.
But I also feel that my father is just an ordinary fisherman, and it always feels a bit inconsistent when he speaks those big truths.
It was not the first time Ling Fan was fishing with his father. He was familiar with the flow of things. He picked up a simple fishing rod, and the hook pierced one end of the earthworm. Then, Ling Fan swung hard, and with a "bang", a little water splashed on the river surface and the hook fell into the water.
Next, all you have to do is wait.
Fishing is a boring thing, and sitting quietly and waiting is the most important one.
But Ling Feng said that fishing also has benefits and can cultivate a state of mind.
This is indeed the case.
At the beginning, Ling Fan followed Ling Feng for the first time to fish. After a while, he felt all kinds of boredom and impatient feelings lingered in his heart.
But as time passed, Ling Fan grew up little by little, and after following Ling Feng down the river more and more, his impatientness became as calm as water.
Ling Fan discovered that when he faced some things, others would always feel more or less excited, but he could face them calmly.
As time passed little by little, the originally calm fishing rod suddenly shook, and the fishing line that was floating with the river water suddenly became straight.
Ling Fan's heart moved and knew that it was the fish that had taken the bait.
Ling Fan immediately exerted force, swung his arm violently, the fishing rod was pulled up, and a figure broke out of the water, and was then grabbed by a big hand.
Ling Fan looked at the fish in his hand, then smiled and said, "Hey, it's a grass carp, but it's a pity that it's too small..."
As he said that, Ling Fan took out the fish hook from the mouth of the grass carp, threw the fish into the river with his hand.
Do not dig roots when collecting herbs, and do not catch seedlings when fishing.
Ling Fan shook his head, and after waiting for a long time, he was a small fish that had just left the word "美".
However, long-term fishing has trained his mood, and he has caught even smaller fish, so he didn't sigh discouraged. After saying "I'm not lucky", he threw the hook again.
Ling Feng saw all this and smiled on his face.
Time passed in a blink of an eye. It was dusk, and the father and son were ready to go back.
But at this moment, Ling Fan's fishing rod moved.
"Huh!" Ling Fan was shocked.
If it were normal, after a fish was hooked, the fishing rod in his hand would only tremble or shake slightly, but this time it was a "moving". If Ling Fan hadn't grabbed it tightly, the fishing rod would have been pulled out of his hand.
"It's a big fish!"
Ling Fan thought to himself, and couldn't help but increase his strength, trying to pull the guy in the water out in one fell swoop.
But this action made the resistance in the water more intense. The thread of the fishing rod was pulled tightly, as if it might break at any time.
"this……"
The guy in the water was even more crazy. You could see a red shadow rolling constantly, trying to ask the fish hook, and Ling Fan almost staggered into the water.
After some accident, Ling Fan did not take it seriously, but instead showed joy.
With such great strength, how fat should this fish be?
Although Ling Fan's mood has matured a lot, after catching a small fish for an afternoon, a big fish has finally taken the bait. And it is a big fish I have never encountered before, so I can't help but show some excitement.
"What are you doing?" Ling Feng felt the slight shaking of the boat and looked at Ling Fan.
"A big fish has taken the bait!" Ling Fan shouted: "Get up!"
I saw a faint light rising on his seemingly thin arm, and the mysterious energy injected, and the power to pull out a thousand pounds was immediately exerted.
"puff!"
As the fishing rod was pulled up suddenly, a red shadow broke out of the water and landed on the boat, constantly jumping.
"It's a red carp." Ling Feng said.
"I've used a lot of strength..." Ling Fan let go of the fishing rod, sat down, pointed at the Hongli and said, "I want to eat it tonight!"
"Okay." Ling Feng nodded.
...
When he returned home, Ling Fan happily put all the harvest today in the water tank, and the big red carp was placed alone in a wooden basin. After it spitting sand for a while, what was waiting for it was steaming or braising.
"Is anyone?" A shout sounded, and the voice seemed a little old.
"Here you come!" Ling Feng responded, and then shouted: "Son, come and help."
The person who came was an old man. The father and son of the Ling family called him an old man fish. Not only was he a fisherman, but he was also a purchasing agent for a restaurant, helping the restaurant purchase fresh live fish.
"good!"
Ling Fan responded, then came out of the kitchen and helped Ling Feng catch the fish in the fish tank one by one.
"It's not bad, it's fat and big enough!" Old Man Yu smiled.
"Of course, can you believe the fish I caught?" Ling Fan was a little proud when he heard the old man fish's praise.
"I believe it, of course!" said the old man fish, "Old man, I have taken so many fish from fishermen. Although your family has a little less, it is the fattest one."
"There are 16 items in total." Ling Feng said.
"Okay." The old man fish nodded and said, "A fish has ten copper coins, a total of sixty copper coins, so let's count it."
"No need to count, I can trust you." Ling Feng said.
After Old Man Yu left, Ling Feng put the silver coin into his pocket, and the copper coin was handed over to his son.
"You use this money to buy some food you like or something you like."
"Thank you, dad!" Ling Fan said with a smile.
"When you have money, call it dad, and when you have no money, call it dad?" Ling Feng looked at him with a smile.
"whee!"
Father and father have the same meaning, but the former is a respectful title, mostly a respectful and respectful meaning. The father seems much more intimate.
One hundred copper coins are equal to one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin.
Ling Fan had never seen gold coins. But for him, sixty copper coins were already a considerable amount, enough for him to eat a meat bun every day for a month.
When I returned to the kitchen, it was almost night and the kitchen was a little dark, with strange sounds coming out.
When Ling Fan approached, he saw the red carp in the basin constantly hitting the basin.
Something is wrong!
Ling Fan felt something was wrong with this red carp, and he was very crazy when it took the bait.
Suddenly, something seemed to flash in the water.
Ling Fan was stunned. Is it an illusion?
No, not right!
Ling Fan grabbed the red carp and looked carefully. There was something in the red carp's mouth, which it couldn't spit out.
Ling Fan pinched the red carp with one hand and pressed it hard with the other hand, and a small green ball was taken out.
"A bead?"
The bead is light green and transparent, like condensed water.
Ling Fan held it in his palm and suddenly felt a coolness surge in his heart.
"So amazing!" Ling Fan said in surprise.
"Carp spits beads, is this thing a dragon ball?" Ling Fan whispered, then shook his head again. This is too unrealistic.
There happened to be a small hole in the bead, so Ling Fan simply found a red rope and hung it around his neck.
"Come on a boat to fish in red carp, and spit out the dragon's beads at night."
Ling Fan chanted casually, thought for a while, and felt that it was very suitable. He couldn't help but praise his genius and smiled and said, "Good poetry."
