Chapter 20 Night Fishing
This little time in the afternoon passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening again.

The dishes in the pot cost ten yuan each, and the beer cost two yuan a bottle. Considering that they were going to fish by the river in the evening, Jiang Yao and his friends just ordered a bottle each as a token of their appreciation.

The dinner cost about thirty yuan, which was most of the money Jiang Yao earned from selling fish.

Although he didn't say anything, he acted quite generous, but as he was used to being poor, he still felt a little pain in his heart.

"Money is something that can only come back if you spend it."

"While Bingzai and Wang Dahai are here, there is strength in numbers. I hope everything goes smoothly tonight and we can catch a few more fish."

"In this way, my money is worth it!"

Coming out of the small restaurant, Jiang Yao said to himself secretly.

After he thought about it this way, the slight pain in his heart was relieved a lot.

It was still the same place and the same position, but the raised rocky beach was limited in area and could not accommodate four people.

After all, they didn't just stay there, but each of them prepared two or three sets of fishing gear, with more than ten Liuyang hooks with bran cakes to be thrown into the water.

Fortunately, the water level today is much lower than yesterday, and within this area alone, there are several rocky beaches protruding above the water.

"Forget it, I'll give you this place and I'll find another fishing spot!"

Seeing that Bingzai and Gouzi were quick and skillful, each taking a position and having put on the bait and ready to throw it out, Jiang Yao smiled nonchalantly and said.

These two guys were so eager, there was no doubt that they thought this place was a good place for good feng shui.

After all, they saw Jiang Yao catch two big grass carp here last night with their own eyes.

"Whether you can catch a big fish depends mainly on luck. As long as you are lucky, you can catch a big fish in the shallow water near the shore."

He laughed it off and said the soldier with a smile.

Although this guy said this, he had already thrown the first bran cake on the Liuyang hook into the water while speaking.

Moreover, the place where he cast the ball was exactly where Jiang Yao caught the over ten kilograms grass carp last night.

"Brothers, if I can catch a fish weighing more than ten kilograms tonight, then no problem, we'll go out to eat tomorrow night." Compared to him, the dog next to him was only a little bit late.

While throwing the bait, he did not forget to grin and make a promise to the people next to him.

This guy brought a scoop net with him when he left home, but he didn't buy the net, he made it himself.

The head of the scoop net is made of steel bars and is shaped like an irregular triangle, with a bamboo pole as thick as sugarcane connected to the back.

"Jiang Yao, where are you going?" Wang Dahai didn't join in the fun and rushed to play. He looked at Jiang Yao and asked.

"Wade a little further forward and I'll go to the beach over there!" Jiang Yao looked around and pointed to a raised rocky beach about six or seven meters to the left front and said.

In this area, when the water level is deep, dredging ships often come here to dredge sand.

There are sand pits further ahead of these raised stone beaches. Jiang Yao usually throws the bran cakes he uses as bait directly towards the sand pits.

After all, the water level in the sand pit is deeper, and the possibility of big fish is higher.

"It's no problem for two people to stay on that beach. I'll go with you." Wang Dahai said with a smile.

As he spoke, he pointed to the plastic bag of fishing gear in his hand and said, "Knowing that we were going to go fishing at night, I brought a flashlight from home."

"Okay, then let's stay on that beach together!" Jiang Yao smiled and nodded. After selling fish, he also bought a net bag to hold fish.

Now Gou Zi brought a scoop net and Wang Dahai brought a flashlight, so the fishing supplies were quite complete.

If he catches another big fish later, it will undoubtedly be much easier for him to pull the fish out.

After wading to the rocky beach over there, the two men stood a little distance apart, found a good position, and then began to bait and cast.

The fishing method they use is that after throwing the bran cake as bait, there is basically nothing to do but wait for the fish to bite.

A few days ago, Jiang Yao had been alone. During the long wait, he looked left and right. When he was so bored, he started to have random thoughts in his mind.

Tonight, soldier Wang Dahai and a few others were here with us, so we chatted and talked nonsense, and time passed much faster.

"Ding ding ding... Ding ding ding..." At around eight o'clock in the evening, the sound of bells finally began to ring.

Gou Zi and Bing Zai, who were originally on another beach, had come to the beach where Jiang Yao and his friends were.

The people who were smoking and chatting immediately stopped talking and looked in the direction where the ringing sound came from.

Wang Dahai, who was carrying a flashlight, turned it on directly and shone the light towards the beach over there.

"Oh shit, I caught a fish..." The next moment, the soldier jumped up.

Although the water on both sides of the beach was not yet knee-deep, he did not know whether he was too nervous or too excited, but after running a few steps, he fell into the water headfirst.

His whole body was wet, but he didn't care. He quickly got up, ran to the thin bamboo pole that made the bell ring, picked up the plastic bottle next to it, and started to reel in the line.

"Is the fish big? Let me help you scoop it up." The dog followed closely behind, wading through the water.

However, he walked more steadily and did not fall directly into the water like Bingzai.

"There are fish. I can feel movement in my hands. Scoop the fish or something. Don't worry. I still have to walk for a while."

"If you really want to help, help me find my slippers first."

"My shoes fell off when I fell just now. If I don't find them now, I'm afraid they will be washed away by the water later..."

The soldier reels in the line neither fast nor slow, and his performance is full of a sense of ritual.

He stared intently at the direction of the fishing line in the water. Even when he was speaking, he didn't turn around to look at the dog.

Hearing what he said, Wang Dahai, who had also followed with a flashlight, shone the light at the soldier's feet.

It was not until this time that they discovered that the soldier was barefoot and only one of the flip-flops he had been wearing was left.

"It's time to show some real skills..."

While everyone's attention was on the beach, Jiang Yao started to form seals with his fingers like afterimages.

The main reason why he didn't move before was that the bran cake used as bait had just been thrown in the air, and the big fish around might not have gathered yet.

After sensing the big fish, he could climb onto its body and control it to bite his hook, but even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice.

If there were no big fish in that area, Jiang Yao would only be wasting his energy by using his perception power.
