Fate is immortal

Chapter 26 Big Fish

For more than half a month, A Yuan slept in the open every day. When he was hungry, he roasted some prey and ate casually. When he was really sleepy, he leaned over and took a nap. He worked day and night.Only when I escape into the dreamland occasionally, as if returning to my small courtyard during a tiring journey, can I let go of Xia Mi, who is thinking about it day and night, and have a good rest.

And the dream is indeed magical. As long as you meditate and rest for a while in the dream, you will feel refreshed and exhausted when you wake up.Otherwise, after so many days of hard work, even if the mind is strong, the body will not be able to bear it long ago.

But tonight, Ah Yuan survived the wind and rain for half the night, he was so desperate that he couldn't even lift a finger.Although unwillingly posing for fishing, his eyelids have already been closed silently, waiting to fall into a dream in a trance.

At this moment, the fishing rod in his hand was pulled suddenly, and the sound of water rang in his ears, A Yuan trembled all over, and woke up with a jerk.I saw the fish float in the lake in front of him tossing up and down, pulling the fishing line and rod like a kite in a strong wind, shaking non-stop. If he hadn't pressed the fishing rod under his buttocks before falling asleep, he might have been dragged away.

"Good guy, what a big fish this is!"

A Yuan grabbed the fishing rod subconsciously, but was almost staggered a few steps forward.This dragging force is almost as strong as a calf, presumably the one who got the bait must be a big fish that has never been seen in his life.

A Yuan's drowsiness was swept away immediately, he quickly propped up the fishing rod, set out the long fishing line, and stepped on the rocks by the river to stabilize his body first.

It is not easy to catch a big fish, you have to go through three rounds of contests of steadying the fish, slipping the fish and catching the fish.Pulling and pulling will definitely not work. The strength of a fish rolling in the water is several times its weight. Even with the strength of a tripod, the hook will definitely not be able to withstand it, and it will only let the big fish escape.

A Yuan has rich experience in fishing and hunting since he was a child. He walked back and forth in the direction of the big fish without any haste, and began to slip the fish.

Poor that big fish has great strength, but it still can't break free under the pull of the tough fishing rod and fishing line.After struggling for more than half an hour, the big fish finally lost its strength and floated up faintly.And the shore has already surrounded many curious fishermen, and they have laid out layers of nets, just waiting for A Yuan to join the fishing rod to see what this big guy looks like.

The force from the fishing rod was getting weaker and weaker. Seeing that the time had come, Ah Yuan was full of energy and shouted: "Get up——"

With a vigorous flick of the fishing rod, he dragged the exhausted big fish to the shore and sent it into the net. Everyone immediately rushed up and dragged the big fish out of the water with all their might.

There was a sudden burst of cheers from the crowd, followed by a series of exclamations.This big fish was more than four feet long, and four or five men were almost brought down by it when it jumped.It finally landed on the shore, but the largest fish basket couldn't hold its head, so it had to be tied up layer by layer with fishing nets.

The size is still second, and the most striking thing is that the scales of this big fish glow faintly under the moonlight, as bright as newly polished scales.

"This, this, this is...?"

"Uncle Yu, I'm not dazzled. Is this the legendary blue scale fish?"

"Isn't that right! My old Yu has been fishing for more than [-] years, and I have only seen this blue scale fish twice. I have never heard of this kind of fish other than Yuancui Lake, so it's no wonder you don't recognize it. "

"My god, such a big fish is still glowing green, auntie, I think it's about to become fine..."

"Young man, what do you know? The green scale fish is the child of the God of Longcui Lake! If you catch it, you will suffer retribution, why don't you let it go!"

The fishermen around were chattering and chattering, making a mess like a pot of porridge.After all, it is nothing more than how mysterious and rare this fish is.But A Yuan let out a scream, and almost lost his mind.

Although it was the first time for him to see this kind of big fish covered in blue light, he had been thinking about it for a long time—Li Muyuan once mentioned that there was a strange fish in Longcui Lake called the green scale fish. The species of fish are much larger than ordinary lake fish, and their scales are glistening with blue light. They are offered a huge reward by the Xia Society, and any one of them is worth dozens of Xia meters.Then carrying such a big blue scale fish back, wouldn't his former hero name be officially listed and opened?

A Yuan shook his body three times, and couldn't help beaming with joy.I didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, Yuan Daxia has come a long way, and today he is going to achieve a positive result.

Seeing the light in the east, A Yuan didn't hesitate any longer, stepped forward to clear the crowd, pulled up the fishing net and carried the big fish on his back, turned around and was about to return to the Xiahui to hand in the task.

"Wait a minute, little brother, how do you sell this blue scale fish?"

Before A Yuan could take a step, he was stopped by a well-dressed middle-aged man.He knew this person, but he was a purchasing manager of the largest restaurant "Lancuilou" by the Longcui Lake, surnamed Zhang.On weekdays, he often goes to the lake to buy some high-quality fish and crabs. The nearby fishermen want to please them, so they have to call "Brother Zhang".But Ah Yuan is not a fisherman, and the aquatic products he gets are handed over to the Xiahui, and he has nothing to do with him, so he bluntly said: "Not for sale."

"Hey, little brother, don't rush away. You are a fisherman, why don't you sell the fish after you catch it? Do you keep it for yourself to eat? That would be too violent." Brother Zhang always bossed around by the green lake. Those who didn't answer, with a bit of anger on their face, raised their chins and snorted, "It's your luck that you can catch such a big green scale fish. Forget it, I'll give you 20 taels of silver, you Hurry up and send the fish to our fish pond in Lancui Building."

"20 taels!" The fishermen around were shocked when they heard it. You must know that a catty of high-quality fresh fish is only a few tens of pennies. They work all day long to support their families. , 20 taels of silver is simply life savings for them.

It's a pity that A Yuan, a great hero, regards money as dung, just shook his head, and went straight to the Xiahui.

"Hey! What do you want, boy? You don't want to do 20 taels? Well, thirty! Forty... Wait, fifty! Isn't fifty? Are you crazy or a fool?"

Brother Zhang chased A Yuan farther and farther on the lake beach while yelling, seeing that he didn't intend to stop at all, his face became more and more ugly, and his yelling became extremely shrill.

"100 taels!—"

In an instant, the surrounding area was surprisingly quiet, and A Yuan, who was carrying the big fish on his back and struggling forward, finally stopped.He wasn't really moved by the price, he was just curious.

What is the beauty of this green scale fish, so valuable?You must know that one tael of silver can be converted into at least seven or eight hundred dollars in Dongguo, and that 100 taels... is really a number that he has never come into contact with.

When he walked out of the house with a few taels of silver and a bag of copper coins, A Yuan felt that he was already rich.Now a broken fish is worth 100 taels, it is really hard to figure out.

"Boy, you are cruel! Come with me..." Brother Zhang's face turned blue and white, his chest heaved slightly, and a white mist rose faintly above his head, as if he had suffered an internal injury just now when he yelled loudly.

"I'm not selling. Just..."

"Wh, what?!" Upon hearing the word "buy", Brother Zhang's face instantly turned into a pig's color, his chest rose and fell like a bellows, panting heavily, he stepped forward and grabbed A Yuan, screaming: "Boy, don't bully people too much! Tell me where else you dare to pay more than 100 taels! I want to see and see!"

Seeing this situation, Ah Yuan couldn't help being shocked, for fear that he would say another wrong sentence and blow up the anger in front of him.So he said cautiously: "I'm going to submit this fish to the Xiahui. It can hold dozens of Xiami, and it's enough for me to get a wooden card. No matter how much you give, I won't sell it."

"Hand over, give it to the Xiahui, and get the wooden card?!" Brother Zhang stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen a ghost, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you mean, you are going to hand over this green scale fish to me? The purpose of the chivalrous society is to change the status of a registered chivalrous man with a wooden plaque?"

"Exactly!" Ah Yuan smiled slightly, facing the first ray of sunlight in the morning, his whole figure was bathed in a newborn light.

Brother Zhang stared like a dead man, he shook his hand suddenly, pointed at A Yuan's nose and shouted: "You, you are really a fucking..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden "Oh", his body jerked, and he fell back with his head back.Someone hurriedly supported her around, stroked her chest, beat her back, but Brother Zhang still only breathed out but not breathed in, mumbling: "Kill, kill, kill, kill..." I don't know. what to kill.

A Yuanwan didn't expect that with a single word, he would forcefully bring down a living person.Seeing the chaos around him, he was afraid of getting into trouble again, so he quickly supported the big fish behind him, threw off his big strides, and ran away like flying.

At that moment, many shops hadn't opened yet, and there were only a few vendors and workers who got up early on the street.But he saw a strange young man with a fishy smell all over his body, carrying a big fish half the length of a man on his back, running cheerfully on the streets of Qingyun City.

This scene soon became a big topic of conversation at breakfast time in the streets and alleys...

A Yuan rushed to the front of the Juyi Building with ease, looked up and saw his old acquaintance Li Muyuan just appeared at the door, and immediately shouted: "Brother Li! Look what I caught!"

Li Muyuan saw the big fish behind A Yuan, his eyes lit up, and said: "What a big green scale fish! Brother A Yuan is really amazing." Then he patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is not a place to talk, let's go to the backyard. "

This is quite natural. People from the Xiahui occasionally do odd jobs like fishing, hunting and gathering, and they always go to the backyard alone to hand over them.

A Yuan joyfully followed Li Muyuan to the backyard, put the big fish on the ground, and said with a smile, "Brother Li, how about this fish? How many tasks do you want me to do?"

This green scale fish has a very strong vitality, it has been ashore for a long time now, and Youzi is rolling and thrashing non-stop.Li Muyuan checked briefly, then nodded and said: "It really is a green scale fish. In terms of merit, this one is enough. But you are still young, so easy to succeed, I am afraid that you will breed luck, which will be bad for you in the future .Know that everything must be done step by step, and don't hope for short cuts."

"Yes, yes, what Brother Li said is true." A Yuan was rubbing his hands excitedly at the side. In the past half a month or so, he had dealt with Li Muyuan a lot, and he already knew him a little bit, knowing that he always loves Li Muyuan. Preaching, a bit long-winded, but with a good temperament, I will definitely not be buried for such a great contribution.

Sure enough, Li Muyuan pondered for a while, then said: "Let's do this. You've worked really hard these days, why don't you take a break, refresh your mind, come back to the Hero Club in three days, and I'll formally recommend you to join the club, how about it?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" A Yuan laughed heartily and said hello several times in succession.Although he knew that this green scale fish must be extraordinary, he was overjoyed to save half a month of hard work.

But despite being excited, he couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled, so he asked, "Brother Li, what's so good about this green scale fish, and why is it so valuable? Just now a person offered 100 taels of silver to buy it."

"100 taels?" Li Muyuan's expression changed slightly, and he said, "This is not a decimal number, who would offer such a high price?"

A Yuan scratched his head and said: "It seems to be the manager of purchasing in a restaurant. In the end, he shouted that I would not sell it for 100 taels. He said that he would hand it over to the Xiahui, and he passed out."

"So that's how it is." Li Muyuan smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, there is nothing special about this green scale fish. It is just thick and delicious. It has always been loved by rich businessmen and diners. And this fish is extremely rare, with green scales all over its body, and its appearance Uncommon, many big restaurants will ask for high prices, and raise one or two in the fish pond, in order to increase their value and attract high-end customers."

"So it's just to show off..." Ah Yuan suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing: "Rich people are different. It's really stupid to spend so much money for a fish."

Ah Yuan hadn't finished speaking when a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind—"Hahahaha! What an idiot boy, who was sold and counted the money, and on the other hand called others stupid. Ha, I have never seen this in my life." Stupider than you!"
