Chapter 67 Preparing for Net Fishing
Ruan He made an agreement with Wang Xiaoer about buying fishing nets, and Ruan He went back happily.

Although Wang Xiaoer was a chatterbox, he was also an honest person. He happily put the bucket of fish away carefully and placed it securely in the corner and covered it.

They, the low-level escort officers, actually had quite a small salary. They lived a tight life and relied on the little oil and water from the exiled prisoners.

But if you want to buy such a few fresh big fat fish from the boat owner, you have to pay money.

Listening to those big fat fish flapping happily and happily, Wang Xiaoer felt happy and greedy.

Wang Xiaoer did not forget Ruan He's instructions. Seeing that it was getting dark outside and it was not yet time to go to bed, he hurriedly went to find the boat owner.

"Captain!" Wang Xiaoer shouted at the top of his voice.

The captain quickly opened the curtain and walked out, looking over nervously.

"Hey, why is Mr. Cha here?"

After all these years of sailing, he often said hello to the officials, but after all, these officials also detained a large group of prisoners, and he was always worried about what trouble that group of prisoners would cause and affect his normal business.

Therefore, the captain is always vigilant about this group of people no matter what. Occasionally, officials come to visit him and he is naturally nervous, especially now that it is night.

"I just came here to ask if you have any extra fishing nets on your boat?"

Wang Xiaoer casually stated the purpose of his visit without thinking too much. After all, he was straightforward and felt that it would not be difficult to buy a fishing net from the boat owner.

When the captain Chad heard this, he nodded without knowing why.

For a moment, he didn't understand why the official was asking this, and naturally he didn't think that the official would do such lowly hard work as fishing himself.

"That's easy. Sell me a fishing net!"

Upon hearing this, the boat owner became even more confused and asked blankly: "Ah? What do you want with this fishing net?"

Wang Xiaoer shook his head, took out his money bag from his waist, and said in a rough voice: "Don't worry about it, I'll give it to you how much it costs."

The captain's sharp eyes saw the small amount of money in the official's money bag, and he was reluctant to sell his fishing nets casually.

"This... Master, there are indeed idle fishing nets now, but after a while, the fish will gather together, and the few broken fishing nets on the boat will not be enough. You..."

Even a commoner like him didn't dare to offend an official casually. He could be whipped to death and charged with disturbing official affairs.

The captain's face was wrinkled and frowning, and he looked at Wang Xiaoer cautiously and hesitantly.

Wang Xiaoer is an honest person and has no intention of coming to make things difficult for anyone. He waved his hand and changed his tune.

"Okay, I won't buy it then. Can I lend you this fishing net?"

The boat owner was stingy and worried that the fishing net would be damaged if borrowed, but compared to losing a fishing net, this was barely acceptable.

Reluctantly, he forced a smile on his face, turned around and entered the house, picked for a while, and selected a worn, dusty fishing net.

Wang Xiaoer lifted the fishing net and muttered a complaint.

"It's not like I won't pay you back, so I chose such a shabby one..."

He still took out a dime of silver and gave it to the boat owner as rent for borrowing a fishing net.

"I'll rent you for five days first. This money will definitely be enough!"

……

the next day.

Ruan He didn't dislike it at all when he saw the old fishing net. "Sister-in-law, the ship owner refused to sell me one. He said that he would not be able to use it in the future, so he could only borrow it temporarily for a period of time."

Wang Xiaoer scratched his head helplessly and explained.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will return it myself when the time comes. When we catch the fish, we will send some to you."

Ruan He's promise made Wang Xiaoer burst into laughter, and he happily turned around and went back.

Early in the morning, as soon as it dawned, Ruan He took Aunt Zong and ran to the deck to unload the fishing nets together.

A pile of seemingly small fishing nets was spread out on the water, but it actually covered a large area of ​​water.

Ruan He didn't have any decent bait in his hand, so he could only throw the fresh earthworms he brought out from the space onto the fishing net.

The water was very calm, and the earthworms she threw in casually rolled a few times on the net, but seemed to cause no movement.

Seeing her actions as if she were a layman, Aunt Zong shook her head helplessly and explained: "Young Madam, the fish are very good. You won't attract many fish like this. It's best to put some food with strong flavor on it. Only then can we attract more fish.”

Ruan He listened silently and thought about where he could get some tasty food to attract fish.

Great taste...

Something that can also attract fish...

That must be meat...the best meat...

Ruan He's eyes lit up and he suddenly stood up from the stool, suddenly having an idea.

The mad dog's brain was used as medicine, so the dog's body should still be there.

"Wait for me here."

After Ruan He finished speaking in a hurry, he got up and walked back to the cabin, directly finding Li Jiang.

Seeing this slender figure hurriedly walking in from a distance, Li Jiang asked doubtfully: "Mrs. Mu, why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything we can do for you?"

Ruan He has helped them so much these days. As long as it is a small matter that is not excessive, he can call on his subordinates to help.

"Sir, do you still have the body of the dog you killed a few days ago? I need it urgently."

Li Jiang turned his head and shouted inside: "Lao Jiu! Where did you take the dog corpse?"

After all, Lao Jiu almost burped when he walked through the hell gate, all because of the mad dog. Now that he has recovered, Li Jiang also left the dog corpse directly to Lao Jiu to deal with.

As soon as the leader shouted, Lao Jiu trotted over. When he saw his savior, he grinned happily and said hello politely.

"Mrs. Mu, if you want that dog corpse to be useful, where did you take it?"

"That mad dog almost killed me with one bite. I originally planned to cook it and eat it to vent my anger..."

When this matter was mentioned, Lao Jiu gritted his teeth with hatred.

But he changed his tone and patted his head helplessly, saying: "Mrs. Mu didn't let me eat that day. She said the mad dog was covered in germs. I definitely didn't dare to move anymore, so I threw it to the captain. Throw him into the water."

Li Jiang frowned, waved impatiently, stopped his chatter, and asked in a rough voice: "So it was thrown into the water?"

Ruan He also looked a little disappointed, and was thinking about whether he could discuss with the boat owner to get some useful bait.

"Hey! This shouldn't be the case. The captain is just the reincarnation of a stingy man. When I passed by, I saw the dog carcass still lying there. I couldn't bear to throw it away. The smell was so stinky and strong. It was really awesome to pass by!"
