Chapter 8

Eight in the morning.

The black crow stood outside the window early, knocking on the window with its sharp beak.

"Da da da……"

Chen Chuanwang woke up from the dream, looked at the time, put on his clothes and got up with a sigh.

"You wake up so late, humans don't hunt, they are really lazy!"

Chu Wu fell on the window frame and stared at Chen Chuanwang with his head tilted. They were so curious about this "monster" that they came to have a look at the "monster" every day.

"It's not laziness, it's... well, I'm just lazy." In the dazed state of just waking up, Chen Chuanwang couldn't think of a better wording at all, so he could only nod in approval of Chu Wu's words.

The three chuwu were bouncing around, their slender paws sliding gently: "We are hungry, we want to eat melon seeds."

"The early bird gets the worm. You should look for the worm at this time, instead of asking me for melon seeds."

"The early worm is eaten by the bird, it's dessert time."

The three Chuwu suddenly became excited, chattering non-stop: "Peanut melon seeds mineral water, beer instant noodles and ham sausage, do you need anything? Let me go, and put my legs away!"

Chen Chuanwang: "..."

He didn't expect to hear such a cry at home.

"Have you ever been on a train?"

The three crows did not answer him, because the two crows next to them refused to close their legs, so they started a fight outside the window.

"Hey!"

Chen Chuanwang stretched out his hand, trying to fight, but the three birds fell out of the window.

At this time, Chen Chuanwang didn't know whether he should stretch out his hand or put it down.

After thinking for a second, he leaned on the window and looked downstairs. There were bird feathers all over the place, but the three crows were nowhere to be seen.

"It really is……"

Chen Chuanwang didn't know how to complain about this scene.

After going downstairs to wash up, after breakfast, Chen Chuanwang grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them on the wall.

He didn't dare to put it on the ground, because Xiao Hei eats melon seeds and spits out the shells.

Rua the clingy Xiao Hei for a while, Chen Chuanwang loaded the steel bars prepared yesterday onto Grandpa's tricycle.

It's still the same sluice, and it's still the same place.

It took Chen Chuanwang a while to dig out a deep pit, and then put down the steel bar with the base.

In a day's time, the cement isn't dry enough, but it should be enough.

After filling the pit, Chen Chuanwang drove a tricycle forward and backward to compact the soil.

After doing all this, he pulled back the fishing line that was blowing in the wind and wrapped it around the steel bar.

As we all know, it is not enough to have a fishing rod and a fishing line for fishing, but also a hook. The saying that Jiang Taigong's fishing volunteers take the bait is simply a fantasy.

Chen Chuanwang also had an idea for the fishhook a long time ago. His goal was the iron hook on the steelyard, but it was not re-polished yesterday, so it has not been installed until now.

Grinding the iron hook of the steelyard is simple. Take a whetstone, sprinkle some water on it, and rub it hard for half an hour until the rust on the surface of the iron hook disappears, revealing a silvery white metallic luster.

After asking grandpa to say hello to the second and fourth masters, Chen Chuanwang rode to the vegetable market.

At this time, the number of people in the vegetable market has decreased a lot, and the vegetables are basically leftovers, and the meat is also not very good.

Chen Chuanwang first went to the pork stall and bought a piece of pork liver that gave off a fishy smell. Then he went to the chicken stall and asked for some ground intestines.

That's right, it is to want, not to buy.

Not all chicken intestines are edible, and Chen Chuanwang would not buy a bag of chicken intestines just for a fish.

Chicken stalls need to pluck and disembowel customers’ chickens every day, and those unwanted chicken intestines can fill a large trash can.

When Chen Chuanwang asked for it, the vendor gave it to him, and even gave him a clean plastic bag.

In the evening, because of the second master's big mouth, before Chen Chuanwang reached the sluice gate, there were already many people gathered around here, pointing at the erected steel bar and chattering.

"Yo, there are quite a lot of people here."

Grandpa and Chen Chuanwang appeared carrying four steel forks with bamboo poles on them.

The people present were either from the village or nearby villages. Grandpa knew them all: "Let's make way, let's make way, don't get poked."

"Master Kui, can you really catch fish like this?" A grandpa's junior, an elder who Chen Chuanwang didn't even know what to call him, pointed at the steel bar.

In front of outsiders, of course, grandpa would not say that he didn't believe his grandson's words. He stared and shouted seriously: "Of course we can catch it, otherwise why have we been busy for so long? Just watch, that fish can't be caught!" It's big."

Someone said: "I heard the second master say that the catfish of hundreds of catties is not a joke. How big the fish in the South Lake can grow. We have lived beside it for decades, and we still haven't counted it in our hearts?"

"That's because you don't know it. What is the name of the fish called giant catfish? Listen to the name, giant catfish, giant catfish, that means very big."

Grandpa can't even say the name of the European giant catfish.

A group of people were smiling and talking, and not long after, Second Master and Fourth Master came with a cart full of fishing nets.

The second master's son was sitting in the cart with a long wooden box on his back.

Chen Chuanwang was stunned when he saw the wooden box. In his childhood memory, he had vaguely seen this wooden box. If he remembered correctly, it contained...

"Steel fishing? It's really the first time in my life."

The second master moved the fishing net to the ground and looked at the steel wire in front of him, feeling uncertain.

In his decades of fishing career, this kind of thing should not catch fish, at least not ordinary fish.

"Second brother, don't tell me, if there is such a big fish, only steel wire can catch it."

The fourth master walked forward with a smile, untied the "fishing line", and then turned to look at Chen Chuanwang: "Awang, where is the hook? There is only a fishing line but no hook, you think you are Jiang Taigong."

"Getting ready."

Chen Chuanwang took out the fishhook from his pocket, immediately making the people around him speechless.

"Hey, it's really the first time I've seen fishing like this."

"Reinforced steel wire is fine, the fishhook is still an iron hook on a small steelyard, what kind of fish can be so stupid as to bite the hook."

The teasing laughter from around came to his ears, and Grandpa felt very uncomfortable. He had a good face, but he didn't want others to treat his grandson as a joke.

"What's the noise? I've said it all. This is a big fish weighing hundreds of catties. Let alone this small hook, even a child can drag it into the water."

Grandpa said again: "You should expect us to catch it, otherwise who would dare to go into the water in the future."

These words were in the hearts of everyone. Although they came to watch the fun, they also very much hoped that Chen Chuanwang could catch that big fish.

On the one hand, it was because they wanted to see what a big fish of several hundred catties was, and on the other hand, as Lord Kui said, they were worried if they didn't catch this fish.

Fourth Master hung up the fishhook, took the vise from Chen Chuanwang, and twisted the steel wire hard: "It's strong enough, it should be enough."

"Cast the bottom of a net first, I'm afraid the fish won't be caught if you cast the net normally." The second master said at this moment, and he directed his son to cast a large net at the gate of the sluice gate.

At some point, fourth master had a cigarette in his mouth, and he yelled in a muffled voice, "Pork liver, chicken intestines."

Chen Chuanwang took out the plastic bag.

Fourth master didn't think it was dirty, so he just fished out the chicken intestines with his hands, and then sprinkled them on the fishing net.

"With such a small hook, the intestines can't hang on it at all, so it's good to lure fish."

A large piece of pork liver was hooked and thrown into the water.

Grandpa said at this moment: "Nah Wang, divide the forks."

Chen Chuanwang nodded, and took out two pairs of gloves while holding the fork.

"Wearing gloves for fishing will affect the feel too much." The second master refused, but he took the fork and gloves honestly.

He understands that if a big fish is really caught in the net, if you pull the net without gloves, the flesh will be strangled.

However, he didn't seem to be ready to make a move, but threw the fork and gloves to the son behind him, and he carried the long wooden box on his back.

The setting sun was stuck on the mountainside, above the South Lake, as if it was still a complete circle. When day and night were equal, apart from the noise around, it seemed that there was only the sound of the wind.

Under the lake, which no one can see, the legendary monster is fighting with the giant in the water with the steel fork given to him by Chen Chuanwang.

Occasionally, the surface of the lake will churn and ripple because of their movement.

"The bait fell into the water!"

As a monster in the water, the water tiger has an unrivaled sense of smell in the water, and the stench that is enough to drive fish crazy poured into his nostrils, and he immediately understood that the Chen family boy was ready.

"Come on, you fat catfish, today is the day to avenge the fish in Nanhu Lake."

The steel fork in his hand stabbed out, piercing a fish's eye, Shuihu laughed, stepped on the huge fish's head, and then used his strength to escape.

The catfish with only one eye left opened its mouth wide, and its six whiskers exploded, like an angry lion in the water, chasing after the water tiger closely.
