Everyday heroes

Chapter 123
"Tang Tang, why don't you go back first, it seems that I won't be able to catch this fish in a while." Guan Lang felt the still strong drag from his palm, and said softly without turning his head.

Although the neighborhood is a bit remote, as a strong man, he doesn't have to worry about his personal safety at all.

He estimated that it would take about ten, twenty, ten minutes to catch this stubborn and stubborn fish. The driver of Tang Tang's family had already arrived, and he was embarrassed to let the two of them stand here and wait for him.

The driver Uncle Zhang turned his head to look at Tang Tang when he heard the words. Of course he hoped that his lady would leave now and avoid contact with this boy who spoiled her.

Tang Tang looked at the carefree fish in the tank, swallowing his saliva.

Hearing Guan Lang's words, he didn't even think about it, and replied firmly: "No, I want to wait for the senior to come with me."

My lady has said so, what else can the driver Uncle Zhang say.

He could only sigh, and stood aside, staring at Guan Lang expressionlessly.

Guan Lang didn't say any more, the other party also had good intentions, so he could only catch the big fish as quickly as possible.

Uncle Zhang stood by and watched, with a surprised expression on his face.

He didn't look carefully just now, but now looking at the curved arc of the fishing rod, it was obvious that the fish on the hook was not small.

He also likes fishing quite a bit, or in other words, apart from becoming greasy and using a thermos to soak goji berries in middle age, most people like fishing.

Especially in his generation, when he was a child in the countryside, he often used to play in the water, net fish and catch crabs. Although he is not so energetic now, he still has a lot of interest in catching fish.

Watching Guan Lang go fishing now, he felt a little itchy for a while.

Couldn't help but took a few steps closer.

Of course, he didn't do this to watch Guan Lang fish more carefully, but because his young lady was by the water, and he could protect him better if he got closer.

Guan Lang caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

This uncle seems a little impatient, is he urging him to hurry up?Guan Lang thought to himself.

The strength in the hand increased a bit.

The arc of the fishing rod is even more slender, as if it will break in two in the next moment.

Uncle Zhang saw that he didn't know what to do, the corner of his mouth moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, and his expression was a bit tangled.

"Ahem." Uncle Zhang coughed lightly.

Guan Lang turned his head sideways to look over, the strength in his hands did not relax.

"Don't use too much strength, or the rod will break, as long as you don't let the fish's head go down." Uncle Zhang looked at him, coughed twice, and pointed out as if nothing had happened.

"Oh." Guan Lang nodded and slowed down.

Of course he knew what the driver said, but he thought the driver was in a hurry.

"Are you good at fishing?" Guan Lang heard his tone as if he had a lot of fishing experience.

"Oh, it's okay. I usually go wild fishing when I'm resting. I've gone all over the relatively large reservoirs and lakes in Tiannan and several surrounding cities. It's just blind fishing."

The driver spoke modestly, but his face couldn't hide his complacency.

"Like the fish you rode, it shouldn't be small, and it should weigh a few kilograms." The driver then shook his head and said. "This kind of big fish is becoming less and less now. The heaviest I have ever caught is a silver carp and bighead carp weighing more than 20 kilograms, which was caught two years ago."

Guan Lang was silent for a while, he felt that the other party seemed to be showing off.

"That's a bit big." Guan Lang felt that he might be embarrassed if he didn't answer his words, so he answered.

"Isn't it? When I caught that fish, I wrestled for almost an hour, but my hands were exhausted." Uncle Zhang sighed. "When you're skating fish, don't swipe in a figure-eight shape. It's better to stalk the fish vertically instead of letting it go sideways, and..."

Perhaps when talking about his hobbies, the driver, Uncle Zhang, seemed a bit talkative. He also forgot his prejudice against this little boy at the beginning, and gradually began to talk about everything.

Under Uncle Zhang's gesticulating guidance and Tang Tang's silent encouragement, the big fish in the water finally got tired and approached the water's edge after struggling N times.

Tang Tang shone the flashlight of his mobile phone into the water, wanting to see its face in advance.

The eye is a slender orange red, like a flame swimming and burning in the water.

Tang Tang was very excited.

"Koi?" Uncle Zhang narrowed his eyes and said in surprise.

Koi is a high-end ornamental fish that is popular all over the world. It has bright colors and varied patterns. The earliest ancestor was edible carp. After generations of screening and hybridization, it has become today's ornamental fish.

From this point of view, appearance is indeed a kind of superpower. As carps, silver carp, crucian carp, and cocked mouth are the food on human dinner plates, but koi are able to accept offerings and supplies from humans because of their beautiful appearance. Although it lost its freedom, it was better than its close relatives who lost their lives early.

"No? It's the koi." Uncle Zhang saw that it was not the koi, but its close relative, the koi. The fish in the water had no whiskers, and it was not as round and fat as the koi.

Without waiting for Guan Lang to speak, he picked up the copy net next to him and offered to help catch the fish.

The fish were taken out of the water and put into the big fish tank that he brought with him.

Only then did Guan Lang heave a sigh of relief, and approached to have a look at its true face.

This flaming crucian carp is very big, more than 50 centimeters in length, with a flowing tail like a gorgeous ribbon, bright red without a trace of variegation, slender and graceful, very attractive, the only fly in the ointment is its lips A big hole was pierced by a fishhook, which looked a little scary.

"Golden carp? Brocade crucian carp?" Although Tang Tang was obsessed with the beauty of this fish just now, he was also distracted by what the driver Uncle Zhang said, so he tilted his head and asked in puzzlement.

"Well, I mistook this fish for a more expensive koi at first. These are two close relatives, but koi live longer, can live for decades, and there are even legends that live for 200 years. It can grow to more than one meter, but the lifespan of brocade crucian carp is much shorter, only about ten years, and the normal maximum size is only thirty to forty centimeters, which is the kind of small goldfish you raised when you were young." Uncle Zhang patiently Explain the difference between the two fish species.

In fact, it was because this koi was so good-looking that he subconsciously thought it was a more expensive koi.

Tang Tang nodded with a half understanding.

She still has some memories of the goldfish she raised when she was a child.

Lots of thorns, little meat, very bad taste!
"Is brocade crucian carp cheaper? Why do I think it looks much better than the big black fish at home."

Uncle Zhang hesitated for a while, he was at a loss for words, he didn't know how to explain to this silly girl that it was a precious nine-patterned dragon koi with special ink patterns, not some big black fish.

Her father paid a high price to buy it from the RB Koi Sakai Auction, and the unit price of each piece is at least six figures.
