The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Chapter 455 Camping in the Mountains

The following vehicles arrived at the campsite chosen by Yang Dalin in turn.

Captain Wang and his team arranged for the vehicles to be parked properly.

Everyone did their part, some setting up tents.

To start a fire.

The one fetching water is fetching water.

In an orderly manner.

Captain Wang's arrangement was indeed reasonable.

Seeing that everyone was about to prepare roasted dry food, I just drank plain water.

Yang Dalin said, "Captain Jing, I know how to fish."

They even brought a fishing rod.

I'm going to the riverbank down there to fish for everyone.

"How about I make everyone some fish soup? If we catch a lot, I'll also make everyone some grilled fish, okay?"

Captain Jing looked around and asked, "It's already dark. Is this alright?"

"Captain Jing, didn't I go hunting in the mountains in the middle of the night yesterday?"

If I can hunt at night, I can certainly fish, don't worry.

no problem.

I'll catch a few first and throw them up for you, then you can make some fish soup.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go with you."

"No need, Captain Jing. Just take someone with you. He can't see or speak, otherwise he'll scare the fish away if he makes any noise."

It's more convenient and faster for me to go by myself.

I'll catch a few first. I'll call out, and you can watch out for the fish I throw up from below.

The rest of the fish we caught were grilled and eaten.

"Alright, then be careful."

"Okay."

Yang Dalin went to the driver's seat of his car and took out the fishing rod that had been marked as a 100% catcher from his backpack.

He then carried another bucket.

As darkness fell and moonlight shone through, we adjusted to the darkness and didn't need a flashlight. We quickly made our way down the valley.

A colleague who went to fetch water had just made a path; Yang Dalin can just follow the path down.

When they arrived at the riverbank, Yang Dalin pretended to turn on his flashlight and dug up some earthworms from the damp ground on the riverbank.

It will be used as bait later.

Actually, he had crushed some cornbread and made a burrow before digging for earthworms.

If you don't bait the area, how can you attract fish from the surrounding area?

Yang Dalin casually dug up a few earthworms, hooked them onto a fishing hook, and cast the hook into the water.

The fish were served very quickly.

There's no way around it; with the fishing rod's enhancement, catching fish is that easy.

Several crucian carp were caught in succession, but the wild crucian carp were a bit small.

Yang Dalin waited a while longer, until he had collected seven or eight crucian carp, before using sturdy goosegrass to thread the gills through the fish and tie them together.

Then I walked down to the campsite and called out, "Brother Tian!"

Throw the fish up.

Tian Xueyi shouted from above, "You're really fast!"

"If we catch a few more fish, this is enough for a fish soup, or we can make a grilled fish for everyone."

"No problem, Brother Tian, just wait a moment."

I'll call you again when I catch another fish.

Yang Dalin returned to the riverbank and continued fishing.

Actually, there are quite a few fish in the rivers in the mountains, but few people have professional fishing rods or know how to bait the water.

It's very difficult to catch fish.

Unlike Yang Dalin, who was very willing to invest himself.

They made several cornbread-shaped holes.

It attracted quite a few fish.

Moreover, his steamed buns were mixed with cooking oil, making them even more appealing.

After a while, Tian Xueyi called out from above: "How much has Dalinzi caught? The fish soup will be ready soon."

If it's not good to fish, then don't fish.

Yang Dalin glanced at the bucket; it was almost full.

I've fished quite a bit.

Now that the fish soup is ready, and the fish caught are enough for each person to have one.

I'm not going fishing anymore.

Yang Dalin replied, "Okay, I'll take it right away and head back to Brother Tian."

Yang Dalin packed up his fishing rod and picked up a bucket of water, preparing to head back.

As soon as Yang Dalin turned around, he inadvertently noticed a light on the mountain that connected to the opposite cliff in the direction they had come from.

It just suddenly went out of business.

The lights were still some distance from the cliff directly in front of their convoy.

Yang Dalin was confident that he couldn't be mistaken.

The lights weren't on the road.

That's not a car headlight.

And it only flashed briefly before going out.

Who would go up the mountain with a flashlight so late at night?

You didn't take the road; you were on the mountain, and you quickly turned off your flashlight.

It's too far away for me to see clearly.

But is there a problem?

Yang Dalin remained highly vigilant.

He also glanced around in other directions a few times.

No problems have been found in other areas so far.

However, the light was clearly faulty.

Yang Dalin was about to go up and tell Team Leader Jing.

While fishing, Yang Dalin secretly ate some braised meat to fill his stomach.

He didn't want to just eat dry food and drink plain water.

If given the opportunity, I certainly wouldn't compromise myself.

We can just go upstairs and grab something to eat later.

After Yang Dalin went up, a colleague met him.

When they saw that he had caught so many fish, they all praised him.

Yang Dalin handed the fish to his colleagues, telling them to clean the fish first and each person could take one to grill.

He didn't prepare the fish beforehand, and now the offal and entrails are all good stuff.

If you slaughter it properly, you'll waste good stuff.

Yang Dalin quietly pulled Team Leader Jing, Team Leader Xiao, and Team Leader Wang aside.

"Captains, when I turned around after I finished fishing by the river at the bottom of the valley, I saw a beam of flashlight light on the mountain in the direction I came from."

It only flashed briefly before going out.

It's too far away to see clearly.

But I'm pretty sure it wasn't a car headlight.

No cars were seen passing by or heard approaching from a distance.

This light is suspicious.

Should we send someone to climb up the cliff opposite and go take a look in that direction?

I chose this campsite only to avoid the wind; I didn't realize that if bad guys ambushed us on the opposite cliff at night, we'd be in real danger.

Captain Jing and his team took this news very seriously.

"It's not your fault. After all, you've never fought a war and have no experience."

Besides, it was me who urged you to hurry on your way, and there wasn't time for you to choose a campsite.

"Can you climb up that cliff over there?"

Yang Dalin glanced at the cliff face dozens of meters high opposite him.

I can see it clearly myself.

"No problem, I can get up there. I checked when I parked, Captain Jing."

I can carry up two bundles of rope, one thick and one thin, first. You tell the comrades to eat quickly.

Get ready.

I'll bring another flashlight.

If there's danger, I'll shine the light down three times.

If there's no danger, take a picture.

I'll lower the rope again in a bit. If it's dangerous, arrange for two colleagues who are good at climbing to go up and help me by tying them to the rope.

You can decide on the arrangements below.

It would be best to move those three experts to a cliff or valley below, where they are in a blind spot.

If there's no danger, I think it's better for me and two colleagues to stay up there tonight.

In a little while, we'll use a rope to pull the blanket up, and then we'll sleep on it.

From a high vantage point, danger can be detected quickly.

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

"Why don't you have a bite of rice with it?"

Yang Dalin waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just take two steamed buns that my brother Tian baked."

Enough said. Captain Wang, go get the rope. Captain Xiao, give me a flashlight.

I need to hurry.

Otherwise, there won't be enough time.

Yang Dalin stuffed the flashlight and the two baked buns into his satchel.
