Fishing for eels is a technical job. If you are a novice, you may not get anything for a long time. Even if you catch it by chance, it is just luck. But with many years of eel fishing experience, Wang Xuyang summarized several key points and explained Liang Jiarong. "High, it's really high. This is the first time I've heard that there are so many ways to catch eels. Cousin Yang is awesome," Liang Jiarong flattered him again. Wang Xuyang did not beat him again this time, but smiled and said, "Stop flattering me. If you want to eat braised eel, work hard for me, otherwise you won't get it." "Okay, don't worry, let's get started." Liang Jiarong nodded. , looking confident, began to look for eel holes in the ditch. Wang Xuyang was naturally not idle either. He knelt down and started looking for the eel hole, but it was too small for him and he couldn't get in with the hook. After finally finding an eel hole two fingers wide, Wang Xuyang prepared earthworms on the eel hook and prepared to take action. However, he did not act immediately. Instead, he carefully observed the shape of the eel hole before extending the hook in. Hooking is very particular. As we all know, the upper jaw of the eel is very hard and the lower jaw is relatively soft. Therefore, when hooking, you need to place it flat in front of the eel's mouth. After it bites the hook, twist it 90 degrees to hook it. jaw and pull it out. Wang Xuyang is naturally a master, so after setting the hook, he only shook the eel hook slightly for a while, and then he felt that the eel had bitten the hook. After quickly twisting the hook, the eel was pulled out and exposed to the air before it started spinning in the hole. "There is a weight of two liang, I guess." After taking the eel off the hook and putting it into the bamboo basket, Wang Xuyang couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. It only took half an hour for Wang Xuyang to use the same technique to lift four eels of different sizes, which together weighed more than a kilogram. "Cousin Yang, I finally caught the eel, my index finger is as thick as a finger." When Wang Xuyang was about to set the hook again, Liang Jiarong came over with excitement and pointed at the struggling eel on the hook. "Not bad, worthy of encouragement." Wang Xuyang also smiled slightly, helped Liang Jiarong remove the eel from the hook, and threw it into the bamboo basket. "Wow, Cousin Yang, you have caught five, you are really awesome." Liang Jiarong was quite proud at first, but when he saw the eels in Wang Xuyang's bamboo basket, he suddenly felt a little resentful and turned around to continue fishing for eels. ¡ Although the weather is still hot, the ditch blocks the sun on the other side, and with water flowing through the soles of your feet, you don¡¯t feel too hot, but rather cool. Time passed quietly, and the eels in Wang Xuyang's bamboo basket gradually overflowed. If it hadn't been sealed with a lid, some of the eels would have escaped. After pulling out an eel again, Wang Xuyang weighed it in his hand and couldn't help but shook his head with some disappointment, "At most two and a half." It's not that he couldn't catch an eel weighing one pound, but that he simply couldn't. How can I fish if I can¡¯t find such a big hole? "Forget it, let's take time to look for it tomorrow." After putting away the eel hook, Wang Xuyang walked to Liang Jiarong on the side and guided him to catch an eel and prepare to go home. Just after taking two steps, Liang Jiarong suddenly pointed to a circular hole as thick as a child's arm on the ditch sill, "Uncle Yang, do you think that hole is an eel hole?" "Huh?", follow that. Liang Jiarong's hand looked over, and Wang Xuyang couldn't help but be surprised, and moved forward to check. After some inspections, Wang Xuyang said with certainty, "It must be an eel cave. The shape is correct, and there must be eels inside, otherwise the soft soil outside would not have such traces." "Such a big hole, what about the eels?" How big must it be?" After gesturing at the entrance of the cave with his hands, Liang Jiarong couldn't help but trembled and said, "It can't be a snake. How can there be such a big eel? If it is true, it would probably weigh two or three kilograms. "Okay." Wang Xuyang also made an estimate, and then nodded, "It should be about the same. If it can be caught, it will definitely be two pounds." After saying that, Wang Xuyang took off the eel hook and found the thickest one. earthworms, strung on the hook, ready to try. "Uncle Yang, you don't really want to fish, do you? Can this hook withstand it?" Liang Jiarong looked at the slender eel hook and the huge eel hole, and said with some worry. "It should be no problem. You will know after you try it." Wang Xuyang is not sure. He has only caught eels weighing more than one kilogram before, and has never tried eels weighing more than two kilograms. Because the eel is larger, its features are easier to find. With just a cursory look, Wang Xuyang found the spot and inserted the hook. "Eels don't eat dead things, so Wang Xuyang shakes from time to time"I lowered the earthworm on the eel hook and waited for the eel to bite the hook. "Bite". A minute later, a huge pulling force came from the eel hook. Wang Xuyang quickly stabilized his body and tightened his grip on the eel hook. "Creak", it may be that the eel's strength is too strong, but after a stalemate for a few seconds, there is a somewhat overwhelmed sound from the eel hook, and the steel wire is pulled straight. Wang Xuyang was also shocked, but he did not dare to let go. If the hook was pulled into the hole, it would be troublesome to catch it again. Fortunately, when the eel saw that it could not be dragged in, it began to rotate rapidly in the hole. Wang Xuyang also rotated the eel with both hands. If it was too slow or too fast, the hook would loosen. For the sake of safety, Wang Xuyang did not lift it out immediately, but followed it for nearly three minutes before pulling it out of the hole with a loud shout. "Fuck", Liang Jiarong was stunned again when he saw the eel struggling to catch the hook, because the eel was really too big. According to his estimation, it is more than one meter long and six or seven centimeters in diameter. Wang Xuyang needs both hands to hold it firmly. "This is almost three pounds, it's really" Because of shock, Liang Jiarong could no longer find adjectives, so she could only open her mouth but couldn't speak. "Ding dong, the side task of fishing for eels has been completed. Since the host has exceeded the task for the first time, we will reward you with an extra point, just this time." "Ding dong, the two redemption points have been received. The host can use them at any time. Just Just recite it silently in your mind. " "Hahaha", Wang Xuyang couldn't help laughing happily when he heard the system prompt. He didn't expect that the system was so interesting that he gave two redemption points for one side task. ???????????????????? But the system also said that it¡¯s just this time, and if you trigger the side task next time, you will only get a few points even if you overcomplete the task. Liang Jiarong naturally didn¡¯t know that Wang Xuyang was smiling because of the system¡¯s rewards, but thought he was so happy because he caught such a big eel. After being happy for a while, Wang Xuyang was ready to choose exchange at night, and waved to Liang Jiarong, "Let's go back." It was already evening, and the villagers in Wangjiagou had finished their farm work and rushed home with hoes on their shoulders to prepare. Make a fire and cook. Some sharp-eyed people naturally discovered what Wang Xuyang was struggling with. At first, they thought it was a snake, but when they got closer, they were shocked when they discovered that it was actually an eel. After watching for a while, they reluctantly left, and judging by their excitement, they would definitely treat it as a conversation piece after dinner when they got home. When Wang Xuyang brought home the eel, which weighed about three kilograms, his parents were naturally shocked. But of course he is not going to eat such a big eel, but is going to keep it, so that it can add a bright spot to his rural career. ¡¡
