Chapter 342 Two Big Fish
There was a rather large fish on the lake, weighing at least seven or eight pounds. Chang Kun didn't even notice it because he wasn't using the system's sensors.
He's too lazy to eat the fish from this lake now.
If you don't cook freshwater fish with lots of oil and salt, they usually taste far worse than saltwater fish.
However, he thought for a moment that if a big fish is delivered to his door for free, he might as well take it. In an ordinary family, this kind of fish would definitely be the grand finale dish for the New Year.
"Find me a long branch so we can stick the fish up."
Chang Kun looked around but couldn't find any branches, so he asked Cheng Min to help him as well.
If you use a stone, you can kill a big fish with a single, decisive blow, but then the fish will sink to the bottom and you won't be able to eat it.
After searching around, they couldn't find a single long branch.
That's true. Even if there were fallen branches in the park, people would have already picked them up and taken them home as firewood.
"Forget it, I'll just climb up the tree and break off a branch." Chang Kun didn't care about protecting the trees; he used both hands to pull himself up the tree in a few quick movements.
Two elderly men, one tall and one short, were passing by when they saw Chang Kun climb the tree. As he broke off branches, one of them called out, "Hey buddy, what are you doing? Those branches are damp; you can't use them as firewood!"
Chang Kun ignored them, picked a thin, long branch, broke it off, and threw it on the ground.
"Hey! Why did you break this perfectly good tree? Even if you're hungry, you can't eat its leaves!"
"Exactly, what a pity!"
The two old men, one tall and one short, were like a comedian, one teasing and the other supporting, chattering on and on.
Chang Kun brushed the leaves off the branch, gestured, and nodded.
This branch works quite well as a harpoon; it keeps fish from sinking into the water.
As for the trees in the park, as far as he knew, after a few years when the wind picked up, the Red Guards cut them all down, leaving not a single leaf behind.
"Hurry, Chang Kun, it's going to run away!"
Cheng Min watched the fish by the lake, afraid that it would run away.
As for the possibility of not being able to spear a fish, she hadn't even considered it. In her opinion, Chang Kun was such a skilled hunter, spearing a fish would be a piece of cake for him.
"Wow, this fish is huge!"
"Is this young man trying to spear a fish with a tree branch?"
"This... is really audacious! The distance from the lake shore to the fish must be at least ten meters! Trying to spear fish with a broken tree branch..."
"Wow, there are such big fish in the lake. Let's go back and get our fishing rods to catch a couple of them. We'll have some snacks to go with our drinks tonight."
"Hey! Young man, stop spearing the fish. You'll scare it and it won't bite anymore."
Well, the old man had already reserved the big fish, and I thought he was sure he would catch it.
Cheng Min turned around and glared at the two old men, worried that their noise might scare the fish away.
Chang Kun tossed the branch in his hand, ignoring the two old men, and threw it with all his might.
*Whoosh!*
Having never practiced before, the branch flew sideways, much to the amusement of the two old men.
"Haha! This kid clearly's never speared a fish before; he's trying to kill it with the harpoon!"
The way people address Chang Kun has changed from "man" to "young man," and now it's just "this kid."
"That's it, he won't be able to spear the fish. Let's hurry home and get our fishing rods; this fish is destined for me!"
The two old men didn't even look at the result, turned around and left. Such a big fish could sell for ten or so yuan!
"You got it! Chang Kun, you're amazing! You hit it!" Cheng Min jumped and danced with joy.
Just now, even though the branch was thrown horizontally, it flew towards the lake in a parabola.
Strangely enough, just as the branch was about to fall into the water, the tip of the branch was directly above the head of the big fish, and in one fell swoop, the fish was crushed through.
Chang Kun smiled slightly; his sure-fire strikes never disappointed him.
Holy crap!
"This actually works?!"
"This kid, how much dog poop did he step in today?!"
"My big fish! My snack with drinks!"
When the two old men heard Cheng Min shouting, they turned around and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
This is completely unscientific! Can a blind cat really stumble upon a dead mouse?!
Seeing the big fish skewered on the tree branch, still struggling and thrashing its tail, the two old men became anxious.
The tall old man rolled up his sleeves and trousers, ready to wade into the water: "Young man, hurry up and catch them, it'll be a shame if they get away!"
"Yes, yes, Lao Gao is a good swimmer, let him help you catch it!" The short old man watched nervously as the fish flicked its tail on the lake surface.
"Grandpa, I can go down by myself. I've been swimming since I was a child, this distance is no problem." Chang Kun dared not let the old man go into the water. If he got cramps and drowned, it would be disgusting to be blamed on him.
He quickly stripped down to his shorts and swam to the big fish. By then, the fish was exhausted. He grabbed the fish and was about to swim back when a thought suddenly struck him.
Four or five meters directly below him, another large fish was swimming slowly.
With a sudden dive, he swam above the fish, then pulled the fish and water into his spatial dimension.
The two old men on the shore were staring wide-eyed when they suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Hey, young man, why did you sink?"
"Oh no! This kid isn't a very good swimmer but he's trying to show off. Lao Gao, you're a good swimmer, hurry down and save him!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the tall old man struck a pose as if to jump into the water.
Cheng Min was jumping up and down anxiously. She had seen Chang Kun catch fish before and remembered that he was a very good swimmer.
Before Old Man Gao could jump into the water, Chang Kun had already surfaced, clutching the gills of another large fish in one hand and holding onto a tree branch with the other, slowly swimming to the shore.
With one hand, he flung the big fish ashore, and with the other, he handed a branch to Cheng Min, leaving the two old men stunned, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
What's going on? Didn't I only spear one fish? How come I have two fish now, and they're both big ones, each weighing seven or eight pounds?
"Hey kid... young man, what's going on here?"
He reached out and pulled Chang Kun ashore. Before Chang Kun could even catch his breath, Old Gao hurriedly asked.
"When I went into the water, another fish touched my leg, so I held my breath and pulled it up as well," Chang Kun said casually.
"Oh my god! You...you're a real heartbreaker!"
"You can catch fish directly in the water? This fish doesn't seem to have any problems!"
Seeing the big fish jumping around on the ground, the two old men felt a little doubtful about life.
Old Gao gave a wry smile: "I thought you weren't a good swimmer, and I almost jumped in to save you."
Chang Kun smiled. Although the old man had a foul mouth, he had a good heart.
Another short old man rolled his eyes and asked, "Young man, what are you going to do with this fish?"
"What's wrong, sir? You have something on your mind?"
The short old man smiled sheepishly: "This fish looks good with drinks, could you sell it to us?"
Old Gao quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, it would be a shame to let such big fish spoil in this weather..."
Chang Kun looked at Cheng Min: "Do you want to eat this fish?"
Cheng Min shook her head: "I don't want it. The fish you gave me last time was much tastier than the fish in the lake."
"Then... sir, what about this fish?" Chang Kun thought for a moment. Given that the tall old man had kindly saved him, selling him one shouldn't be a problem.
The tall old man pointed to the fish stuck in the tree branch: "This fish won't live much longer. How about ten yuan?"
