1287. To die (3)
There are no large catfish in reservoirs, ponds and lakes, which is a tradition of the locals in Hongyang.
Because in the usual legend, catfish eat corpses, so they are always linked to ghosts. Therefore, large catfish appearing in closed waters is considered to have catfish spirits, which will harm the countryside.
Since the village is leaning against the lake and the sea, Ao Muyang has heard many stories about water ghosts since he was a child. According to his memory, if the story tends to be feudal supernatural, then the water ghost is transformed by drowning people. If the story tends to be realistic technology, then the water ghosts are often catfish spirits...
This is related to the catfish's big mouth and the characteristics of scavenger. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a ghost in the lake. Once it grows big, it is very dangerous. At the very least, it will eat birds and ducks, and at the worst, it will drag the child to the bottom of the water to drown and eat it.
It was said that catfish was very tired. When eating in the catfish pot, no one called it a water ghost or a monster...
When they learned that a super big catfish of one and a half meters appeared in Ambergris, the men became active and discussed taking fishing rods to catch it.
Ao Daguo asked Ao Muyang for instructions: "Longtou, if you go to the big trumpet and shout, you have to mobilize the whole village to deal with this fish. I just released the crab seedlings. If I don't get it up quickly, how many crab seedlings will it eat?"
Indeed, catfish grows to one and a half meters and eats very strongly. The small catfish eats humus at the bottom of the lake. If the big catfish wants to fill their stomachs, they have to catch fish and shrimps to eat. Like this, the crab seedlings that have just been thrown into the lake are tender and they are even more fragile.
Ao Muyang said: "What else is there to mobilize the whole village? It's just that there's not a fishing competition for a while. Set up a bonus of 10,000 yuan to attract anglers and tourists to participate in the competition. Spring is here, and it's time to create some news to attract tourists."
Ambergris is now a holy place for local freshwater fishers in Hongyang. The scenery by the lake is beautiful, the water in the lake is abundant, the harvest is abundant, and the local security is good, so you can fish with confidence.
However, Ao Muyang does not let go of fishing without restrictions. If you want to come and fish, you are not allowed to fish on the shore. You must take a boat to go fishing on the lake.
Now that Lake Ambergris has been contracted by him, all the boats in the lake are rafts and wooden boats placed by Longtou Village, so if you want to take a boat into the lake, you have to rent a boat in the village. This is not a small income for the village.
Since you want to organize a fishing competition, the location has to be released. You can take a boat into the lake or sit in a stool by the lake to fish.
On that day, Ao Wenchang designed a poster about catfish fishing, and then sent it to several surrounding villages and towns to post it. At the same time, he posted it on the Hongyang fishing enthusiast forum to advertise. Someone went fishing in the afternoon.
Ao Muyang also went fishing. After seeing this, Ao Mudong pointed at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Longtou, you are not doing your job properly. If you have time, you should go to sea with the boat, especially Longtou, it should go to sea. How long has it been docked on the pier? Is it rusting?"
Lao Ao looked at the fishing rod and bucket in his hand and asked with confusion: "I understand everything you said, but what are these things in your hand? What are you going to do?"
Ao Mudong said with confidence: "Go and catch that catfish, the bonus is 10,000 yuan."
"Why don't you go out to sea?" Ao Muyang asked.
Ao Mudong became more confident: "Have you just come back to rest for two days? Besides, whether I go out to sea will have no effect on the catch."
Ao Muyang nodded and said, "What you said really makes sense."
Ao Mudong asked happily: "Will you follow him next time the fishing boat goes to sea?"
Ao Muyang shook his head again and said, "No, I won't go. I need to take good care of myself and rest in spring. Do you understand?"
When he went to catch catfish, he just joined in the fun. He stayed at home and had nothing to do. It was better to sit on the lake and blew the spring breeze. Now the sun is warm but not dry, and it is most comfortable to stay in the wild.
There were many boats parked by the lake, and there were some boats on the lake. Some were old men with gray beards sitting on small stools, with some cormorants standing side by side.
Ao Muyang found a boat and rowed up the lake, and then started throwing chicken livers into the lake.
This is chicken liver bait, which can attract carnivorous fish such as big-headed catfish, phimosis and other fish.
It is not that easy to catch catfish, especially during the day, catfish will hide in deep water due to the strong sunlight during the day. They usually rest in the middle of the water or at the bottom of the lake. In the dim light environment at night, catfish will come out to forage in large quantities at this time.
The reason why the big catfish was alarmed in the morning was that Ao Muyang probably because there were too many crab seedlings placed in the lake at that time. The crab seedlings entered the lake along the bottom of the lake, attracting the catfish that was originally hidden at the bottom of the lake.
After putting in the chicken liver bait, he waited for a while, but no big fish was caught. He wiped his face and leaned on the boat and stuffed his head into the lake water to scan left and right.
There were still quite a lot of fish in the water. A group of carp chased under the water. They saw the chicken livers caught on the fish hook, but they had no idea of swallowing them.
Because Lao Ao's purpose is a big catfish, he used thick fishing lines, and the carp could see the existence of the fishing lines clearly in the water. They were not so stupid that they found that the fishing lines would still bite the hook.
After sweeping for a while, Ao Muyang lost interest. When he returned to the boat, he put down the fishing rod and let the general come and hold it with his mouth, and then continued to clean the fallen dog hair for the general.
Seeing this, Lang Er, who was bored, was lying on the boat and slapped the board with his tail, suddenly his eyes lit up. He pried his butt up, his head pressed against the floor, his forelimbs on the ground, and then arched over like a bulldozer.
It rushed straight to the general and hit the general's butt with its head.
The general was holding the fishing rod in his mouth and did not dare to move it, so he turned his eyes to look behind him, but it couldn't see behind him, and his eyes rolled, and he still didn't know what was hitting him behind him.
Lang Er bumped a few times and found that the general was not responding. He stretched out his claws and scratched his butt. His two claws were scratching each other, and the dog hair flew around.
The general's throat let out a whimper, and the responsibility was that it could not move.
Ao Muyang stopped and looked at Lang Er. Lang Er turned his head to look at him, then turned around and continued to toss the general. A wolf's tail could sway left and right, and it seemed that it was very happy to toss the general.
After it became arrogant, Ao Muyang reached out and took away the fishing rod from the general's mouth.
The general turned around and jumped suddenly, looking at Lang Er with a cold look. Lang Er's head was still pressed against the board. It was shocked to find that the butt in front of it was missing. Then it raised its head and saw the general grinning.
The boat suddenly swayed, and the general came down from a high position and pressed down on the head of Lang Er with his butt that had been scratched.
Then Lang Er started to make a whimpering sound. Seeing the wolf came, the general thought he was going to attack him, but Lang Da didn't look at it, but took a bite on his brother's butt.
