Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

Wow!

Li Nian broke the ice on the water tank, scooped up a ladle of water, and washed her face with the icy water, barely managing to cool down the heat in her heart.

"Too young!"

"You're in such good health!"

"Having such a stunningly beautiful sister-in-law living next door is both a blessing and a curse!"

Li Nian wiped her face with her clothes and muttered to herself.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he put the ladle down and glanced at his reflection in the water vat.

"Damn, that's cool!"

After calming herself down, Li Nian went inside to eat.

After dinner last night, my sister-in-law Zhao Lijuan and my niece Duoduo had a rosier complexion and were not as sallow as yesterday. Their eyes were also much brighter.

This is the effect of the body receiving nutritional replenishment after eating meat and a full meal.

Duoduo, who was already cute and pretty, looks even better now.

of course.

My sister-in-law is the same.

He was a man who had seen a lot of the world, but there were very few women as beautiful as his sister-in-law.

Besides, my sister-in-law is malnourished.

If one is in excellent physical condition, even the sun in the sky would appear dim in comparison.

"Erlang, you've just recovered from your cold, and it's freezing cold again."

"Why don't you sleep on the kang tonight?"

"Duoduo and I will sleep at your place. There are at least two of us, so it won't be cold if we squeeze in together."

Zhao Lijuan said to Li Nian.

She wanted to tell Li Nian about it last night, but Li Nian went to bed early. She was afraid of disturbing Li Nian, so she waited until now to tell her.

"Good sister-in-law!"

Li Nian understood Zhao Lijuan's feelings and felt a warmth in her heart.

"It's alright, sister-in-law, you and Duoduo can sleep on the kang."

"After dinner, I went fishing. I caught some fish, and then I bought two cotton quilts."

"Your blankets need to be changed too."

"With a quilt, you won't be cold."

Li Nian said.

The quilts at home are all poplar fluff quilts, which are made of linen with poplar fluff stuffed inside. They have very poor heat retention and are far inferior to cotton quilts.

Cotton quilts are expensive. Just a single quilt made of coarse cloth and five kilograms of cotton costs five to six coins.

A thicker cotton quilt and a better quality fabric would cost nearly one tael of silver.

"Uncle, will you be able to catch a big fish today?"

"Don't worry, Duoduo, Uncle caught even more fish today than yesterday!"

"Uncle is amazing!"

When Duoduo asked her curious question, Li Nian answered with absolute certainty.

The little girl had no doubts and was so happy she danced with joy.

of course.

Li Nian wasn't trying to amuse her sister-in-law and niece.

Despite being physically weak yesterday, I was still able to catch nearly 50 pounds of grass carp.

I'm full of energy today, and with the information from the system, I'll definitely catch more fish than yesterday.

Moreover, I still have one tael of silver and more than five hundred coins left from yesterday, and with today's harvest, buying two quilts shouldn't be a problem.

After finishing his meal, Chen Yong packed his things and prepared to leave.

I'm going fishing.

"If you get hungry, you can cook for yourselves."

"We don't lack food at home, so there's no need to be too frugal."

Before leaving, Li Nian said to her sister-in-law and niece.

They were worried that the women would be reluctant to eat and would go hungry.

"I understand, Erlang. Be careful while you're fishing alone outside!"

"Uncle, be careful. Duoduo is waiting for you at home."

Zhao Lijuan held Duoduo as she saw Li Nian off.

Li Nian nodded, picked up her fish basket, and left home.

When he reached the village entrance and looked back, Zhao Lijuan was standing at the gate of the courtyard, holding Duoduo, braving the wind and snow, watching him from afar.

Li Nian felt a lump in her throat, and suppressing her emotions, she turned and headed towards Repulse Bay.

Soon, he arrived at Repulse Bay.

The weather was just as cold as yesterday, and there was no one around.

Li Nian opened the system and looked at the golden coordinates of the Azure Fish.

The location is about ten meters away from yesterday's, not too far.

"First, dig up some earthworms, then catch more grass carp."

"After catching grass carp, let's serve beef to the blue-water fish!"

Li Nian secretly made a plan.

Where there are blue water fish, there are green water fish.

The blue-water fish have coordinates, so they can be tracked even if they run away.

If you fish for blue water fish first, it will be difficult to track for green water fish.

Soon, Li Nian dug up a few earthworms from under the soil, arrived at the coordinates where the Azure Fish was located, and gently broke the ice with a stone.

Grass carp don't eat beef bait, so earthworms, which are free, are the best choice for catching them.

"Let's fish!"

Li Nian hung the earthworm on the hook and gently placed it into the ice hole.

The line was still sinking when suddenly it taut, and I felt a sharp pull on the fishing rod.

"They've already started talking so quickly!"

Li Nian's heart stirred.

Without thinking twice, I jerked the fishing rod sharply.

Pulling the rod back is to make the hook hold more securely!

Next, with skillful fish-playing techniques, the fish was pulled out of the ice hole effortlessly.

In the blink of an eye, the cold weather froze the fish stiff.

"My first cast was a four-pound grass carp! Today is a great day for fishing!"

Looking at the plump bluefish on the ice, Li Nian smiled with satisfaction.

"continue!"

After placing the fish in the fish basket, Li Nian rubbed her frozen palms to warm them, attached an earthworm to the hook, and cast it back into the ice hole.

Half an hour later.

The small fish basket was filled with bluefish.

There are ten in total.

Each one weighs more than that, they are all large-sized.

Among them were two large grass carp weighing nearly five pounds each!

Looking at the fish in the basket, Li Nian's face was full of the joy of a bountiful harvest.

"That's about enough, time to fish for bluefish."

Composing himself, Li Nian looked at the golden punctuation marks beneath the ice.

Yesterday, after catching thirteen grass carp, I startled the fish in the pond, and the blue carp escaped.

He was worried that if he caught too many grass carp, the blue carp would escape.

Although he had the coordinates of the Azure Fish, tracking it was time-consuming and laborious, so he avoided it if possible.

Besides, ten grass carp is already quite a lot!

"A plate of jade-green fish!"

"Let's get it!"

Li Nian took out the prepared beef and hung a piece on the hook.

Last night, while cooking, he cut the beef into several pieces to make it easier to prepare the green fish dish today.

Li Nian cast the fishhook with beef bait into the ice cave and waited quietly.

After a cup of tea.

The fishing line didn't move.

Li Nian gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, her eyes fixed on the fishing line. The moment the fish took the bait, she had to hold on tight to the rod and not let the fish get away.

When fishing for fish in clear water, the worst thing you can do is be impatient.

The blue water fish are all fish that have lived for more than five years. They are more intelligent than ordinary fish, very cautious, and will not easily take bait.

When ordinary people fish for green water fish, they may wonder if the fish are not around if they haven't been biting the bait for a long time, and they may frequently change fishing spots.

He has nothing to worry about.

Because he can use the system's coordinates to clearly know where he is fishing and whether there are fish.

Beneath his feet, the golden light representing the Azure Fish remained!

After an incense stick has burned.

The fishing line still didn't move.

While holding the fishing rod, Li Nian used her hands to clear the floating ice from the ice hole to prevent it from freezing and affecting the catch.

Half an hour later.

The fishing line moved.

Pull it suddenly.

It was several times stronger than any grass carp I had ever caught before!

"They're here!"

Li Nian dared not be negligent and suddenly pulled the fishing rod.

With this pull, the line didn't rise at all; instead, it was pulled downwards continuously.

"Damn! That's some strength!"

"It's definitely a bluewater fish!"

"As expected of a treasure fish!"

"Don't even think about getting away!"

Li Nian steadied herself in a horse stance and gripped the fishing rod tightly with her arms.

The bamboo fishing rod instantly twisted into a semi-circle, trembled violently, made a creaking sound, and began to crack in several places.

"The fishing rod is going to break!"

Seeing the fishing rod break, Li Nian frowned.

Then, move your hands toward the top of the fishing rod, and when you reach the fishing line, wrap the line around your arms.

Fishing line is made by boiling hemp thread in water with wood ash to remove the oil. It is a common fishing line used by poor fishermen. It has greater tensile strength when wet and can pull up fish weighing nearly 15 kilograms.

The fish I've caught now has a pulling force similar to a 15-pound fish, which the fishing line can withstand.

If handled properly, the fishing line will not break.

With years of fishing experience, Li Nian certainly knows how to deal with fish.

As long as the fish is hooked, the fishing line can withstand it, and the fisherman has the strength, the fish cannot escape.

He possesses all three of these qualities!

Three-quarters of an hour later.

The pulling force of the fishing line disappeared.

Li Nian was panting heavily as she pulled the fishing line up with both hands.

A moment later, a five-pound fish, entirely jade-green in color, was pulled out of the ice cave. Its tail weakly thumped up and down twice before it was frozen into an ice sculpture a few breaths later.

Li Nian plopped down on the ice, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked triumphantly at the big fish in front of him.

He said, panting heavily:

"Little brat, trying to outlast me?"

"My brother is as steadfast as a rock!"

"indestructible!"

"Unfailing erection?"

Green water fish, ready to be shipped!
