180 I Have Special Fishing Techniques
The Wang Family had already firmly believed that the Spirit Treasure Rat could search for treasures.
However, they did not expect to let the rat go around looking for treasures. Firstly, this might not be very reliable, and secondly, they did not want to live such a life.
Sensing the children’s attention, the rat hid behind Little Ah Yu.
“No, rats can’t go into the water!” Little Ah Yu protected the rat, afraid that her brothers would bring it into the water.
Wang Wulang shrugged. “We didn’t say anything about throwing it into the water. Alright, let’s go fishing.”
What did it have to do with them if others could not find their family heirloom?
Of course, playing was more important.
Wang Wulang and the others found an empty area and moved stones and dug sand on the river bank there. They also took off their shoes and rolled up their pants to fish.
Nanhe River was very spacious, much wider than the small river outside Hu Family Village. The fish were naturally not easy to catch.
Seeing that Little Ah Yu did not follow and was looking at the river, Qin Huai asked, “Do you want to eat fish?”
Qin Huai did not follow. He was still not used to this kind of collective life.
Little Ah Yu nodded. “Fish is very delicious. Second Aunt’s fish is very delicious.”
When they arrived in town, Madam Ma was basically the one cooking. Liu Shi was in charge of cleaning and they occasionally took turns to swap their tasks.
Everyone else in the family went to help when they were free.
Madam Ma cooked very well. She had been in town for less than a month, and the children had gained weight.
“Big Brother Ah You, let’s go catch fish too. When the time comes, let Second Aunt cook the fish. You can eat at our house.” Little Ah Yu had already thought of how to eat the fish.
Qin Huai looked at Chi Jia.
Chi Jia had already gone to the bamboo forest to cut some bamboo.
He only used the dagger and quickly made two bamboo harpoons.
When the old man saw this, he shook his head. “You won’t be able to catch any fish like this.”
Chi Jia hefted the harpoon in his hand and looked at the river.
“Mr. Chi, there, there!” Little Ah Yu’s eyes were sharp and she immediately saw a fish not far away.
The fish swaggered around, not afraid of the people on the shore at all.
“Pfft-”
The harpoon entered the water and quickly floated back up.
A big fish was stabbed in the head, and a layer of blood appeared on the river.
Little Ah Yu clapped her hands. “Wow, there’s fish to eat today!”
Chi Jia smiled and pulled the harpoon back. He threw the big fish to the shore.
Suddenly, another fish came.
“Pfft-”
Chi Jia did not even look at it seriously, and another fish floated to the surface, and blood bloomed on the river surface like a flower.
The old man fishing at the side: “…”
No, isn’t this too easy?
“Big Brother Ah You, Mr. Chi is really powerful!” Little Ah Yu’s eyes seemed to be about to glow.
Qin Huai looked at the harpoon in his hand and took two steps forward as if he had made up his mind.
“Big Brother Ah You, look, there’s a fish over there.” Little Ah pointed with her jade-like hand. As expected, he saw a white fish swimming in the water.
Qin Huai weighed the harpoon in his hand, aimed it in the direction of the fish, and suddenly threw it out.
“Pfft-”
The harpoon floated up, and the fish escaped.
The two hands that Little Ah Yu was about to clap together froze in the air and turned into two small fists.
When Qin Huai was so embarrassed that the tips of his ears turned red, Little Ah Yu said, “It’s fine. We’re still children!”
It was normal for children to not be able to do things well.
Otherwise, why would they need adults?
Qin Huai pursed his lips, feeling that he was not comforted.
He did not want to be so useless in front of Little Ah Yu.
In the past, he could not protect her, nor could he bring her to catch pheasants. Now, he could not even catch a fish.
What if she met a very powerful brother in the future? Would she dislike him even more?
Qin Huai inexplicably felt a sense of danger, so he asked Chi Jia to teach him how to catch the fish.
“Young Master, look, that fish is in the same position in the water. Actually, it’s a little different from the position we saw. You have to move slightly to the side, like this. The fish looks like it’s beside the water grass now, but the harpoon actually has to move a little to the left-”
As soon as he finished speaking, the harpoon in Chi Jia’s hand shot out, and another fish was unfortunately stabbed.
The old man silently put away his fishing rod and moved to another position.
A few fish brothers had died here, so the other fishes would not take the bait. Of course, he had to change places.
He would never admit that he had been agitated.
Qin Huai’s comprehension ability was very strong. He quickly figured out the pattern and could even predict the speed of the fish when it escaped.
He threw the harpoon again, but because he was not strong enough, he poked the fish and it still escaped.
Before Little Ah Yu could speak, he took two more steps and saw a smaller fish.
“Pfft-”
He got it.
“Big Brother Ah You, you’re really amazing!” Little Ah Yu was very supportive. She even said to the women washing clothes not far away, “Auntie, Auntie, look, Big Brother Ah You is so powerful. He caught a fish!”
Her bragging tone was as if she was introducing her favorite toys to everyone.
The women were also very supportive.
“This child is young, but his movements are quite agile.”
“You don’t say. He’s even better than the professional fishermen.”
“That’s right. No other fishermen can harpoon a fish at such a young age.”
Qin Huai turned his head away and said indifferently, “It’s nothing much.”
If one ignored the tips of his ears that were already red and the corners of his mouth that could not be lowered, his indifferent tone would be even more convincing.
After stabbing a fish with his harpoon, Qin Huai did not stop. Whenever Little Ah Yu found one, he would try to harpoon it.
Of course, he did not succeed every time.
But whenever he succeeded, Little Ah Yu would praise him. Even if he failed, Little Ah Yu would still say that it was the fish’s fault.
[Kid, are you happy being a little bootlicker?]
When Little Ah Yu heard Meatball complain about her, she thought that it was praising her.
“I’m happy!”
She was telling the truth, and she didn’t mean to flatter anyone.
[Do you want to search for treasure?]
Little Ah Yu pricked up her ears. “Is there a treasure here?”
[Of course there is. When you came, didn’t they say that someone was looking for a family heirloom?]
The child of the Wang Family wanted to use the Spirit Treasure Rat to find it. Actually, it was better to look for Meatball’s help.
Air and water could not block its vision. Others might not know what was at the bottom of the river, but it knew very well.
Hearing Meatball say that there was a treasure in the river, Little Ah Yu’s interest was piqued.
She didn’t like any treasures, but she liked treasure hunting.
Little Ah Yu pulled Qin Huai’s sleeve and whispered to him, “Big Brother Ah You, there’s a treasure in this river. How can we fish it up?”
“How do you know?” Qin Huai asked her.
Little Ah Yu’s eyes darted around. She patted her small chest and said, “Because I’m also powerful!”
Qin Huai did not ask further.
Since Little Ah Yu wanted to find the treasure in the river, Qin Huai naturally had to go along with her.
Chi Jia, who was spearing fish in the water, suddenly felt something.
Then, he heard Qin Huai say, “Chi Jia, go.”
Chi Jia: “???”
Why was it always me who was volunteered?
