Chapter 263: Really a Golden Legend

I have to say, talent is really cool, especially when a fisherman gets the talent for fishing, it's like he's possessed by a cheater.

"Hahaha, another one. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let Uncle Zhang deliver the fish. What I caught myself would be enough for the feast." Yu Hongdou picked up another fish weighing six or seven kilograms and boasted shamelessly.

Peng Qi’s eyes were rolling up to the sky, today it was his turn to be Air Force One.

Up to now, there has been only one loach in the bucket beside Peng Qi, which he caught in the mud by the river when he tripped while pulling the rod just now.

"Oh my! What a speed! This must be a big fish. With such force, it must weigh ten kilograms!" Yu Hongdou had just put up the bait and had just thrown it into the water when she felt the rod sink.

Muttering something in a smug manner, Yu Hongdou dragged the fishing rod left and right with skill, thinking to herself that when she returned, she would definitely get a pulley-type fishing rod.

Perhaps the fish on the rod was just as she thought, weighing more than ten kilograms and being very brave and lively. Even Yu Hongdou's small body, which had been exercising for many years, could not handle it.

"Ah~" When being dragged into the water again and caught by Tan Yanlin, Yu Hongdou considered giving up.

"Let me do it~" Tan Yanlin pushed Yu Hongdou away a little, and took over this magical fishing rod that had not broken its line yet.

Yu Hongdou let go of him. She knew that the fishing line was not broken today, which was probably due to her talent. It was a question whether it could be maintained in Tan Yanlin's hands.

Fortunately, Tan Yanlin's luck was not bad. Not only did the fishing rod not break in his hand, but he was actually able to gradually pull the fish over.

The previous wave must have been a desperate struggle. It would have been great if she could have held it back. Yu Hongdou was a little annoyed, but looking at the splashes getting closer and closer, she was more expectant.

Mo Ding held the shrimp net as close to the water's edge as possible, waiting for the fish to come close and then scooping them into the net, otherwise the fish would run away and all his effort would be wasted.

It turned out that Wangwang was faster than him. He dived into the water and paddled towards the end of the fishing line.

"Wangwang~" Yu Hongdou no longer cared about the fish. She stood by the water and stared at Wangwang worriedly.

Although it is said that dogs are born to swim, many of them have been drowned.

Fortunately, Wangwang is a very capable and lucky dog.

It swam to the side of the fish that was still struggling in the water, and at the moment when Tan Yanlin lifted the fish's head out of the water, it reached down and grabbed the fish with its mouth.

“So prosperous!” Yu Hongdou clenched her fists and jumped a little.

The big fish that consumed the strength of both Yu Hongdou and Tan Yanlin was not given for nothing. Even though its head was grabbed, it still struggled desperately by swinging its big tail.

The clever Wangwang has learned how to use the force of the fish without any instruction. When the fish's tail swings over, its head also swings in the direction of the fish's tail.

Its four claws were paddling vigorously in the water, and it was shaking its head clumsily left and right, which made people exclaim in admiration and tremble with fear.

Yu Hongdou walked to the water's edge unconsciously and was about to step into the water when Tan Yanlin and Pan Bao, who had been staring at her, pulled her back with one arm each.

Amidst the worry, Wangwang returned to the shore safely. Only then did Yu Hongdou see that there was a hint of gold on the corner of Wangwang's mouth.

"Golden legend?" Yu Hongdou shouted in a low voice in surprise.

Pan Bao and Tan Yanlin were both stunned. What is the golden legend?

It was not until they saw the golden carp, which had just opened its mouth and was still wagging its tail, that they suddenly realized what was going on.

"It's a golden red carp." Tan Yanlin corrected deliberately.

"It's just gold." Yu Hongdou was not convinced. How could the red on the fish fin be considered golden red?

"...It's gold." Pan Bao stood with his cousin without hesitation.

Tan Yanlin was speechless and simply turned his head to look at Wangwang, but Wangwang was shaking his fur just in time and got drenched with water.

"Such a big golden fish must be hard to come by. Why don't you let it go?" Mo Shougui, who was disturbed and couldn't fish any more, walked over to take a look and advised Hongdou.

Yu Hongdou hesitated for a moment. The fish seemed longer than her arm. It was golden all over with only a small amount of red at the base of its fins. It looked very much like the carp that leaped over the dragon gate in cartoons.

Koi itself is a very auspicious yet taboo thing. Yu Hongdou thought it would be better to let it go in order to avoid bad luck.

"It won't survive if we let it go. It looks like it swallowed something. Look at its stomach." Tan Yanlin wiped his face with his sleeve, glanced inadvertently at the bulging belly of the big fish, and shook his head.

Yu Hongdou looked down doubtfully, and discovered that the fish was not fat like a goldfish, but looked fat as if something was stuffed in its belly.

"Could it be bugs?" Yu Hongdou showed horror. If it was really infected by parasites, then it would be best not to eat any fish from this river.

"It doesn't look like it." Tan Yanlin squatted down, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, put it on the fish's belly and pressed it. The fish twisted its body as if in pain but was unable to turn over.

After hearing what Tan Yanlin said, Yu Hongdou also squatted down and moved closer. She pressed it with the handkerchief in his hand and found that the part of the fish's belly was hard, as if it would explode with a little force.

The image of the dead whale exploding flashed through her mind, and she immediately stepped back in fear.

This action seemed to make Wangwang misunderstand, and he actually jumped up with a "woof" and stepped on the fish's belly with one paw.

The fish opened its mouth as if screaming, and spurted out a mouthful of water, and then a round object came out of its mouth.

"?" Yu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and then she looked in the direction where the round and shiny thing rolled twice on the grass, then circled and stayed there.

No, is it really a golden legend?

She raised her head in confusion and looked at Tan Yanlin and Pan Bao. Are these the golden beans given by the carp in exchange for its life?

Yu Hongdou's question was not answered, but she saw the two people's expressions change.

"What, what happened?" Although it was quite strange that the fish vomited things, and it was also quite scary that it spit out the true golden legend, it shouldn't be so scary.

"Hongdou, do you remember a story in "Legend of Daxia" called "Letter from the Fish's Belly"? " Tan Yanlin glanced at Pan Bao and started to ask.

Yu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she immediately remembered this story.

This story is about a man named Chen Huan, who predicted, by observing the celestial phenomena, that there would be floods and mudslides in the near future, but was unable to dissuade his fellow villagers from leaving their homes for refuge.

So they came up with the idea of ​​writing warning words on silk with cinnabar and stuffing it into the belly of a fish, thus leading the villagers to avoid disaster.

There are many such cases in history, such as the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, in which a red letter with "Chen Sheng is the King" was stuffed into the belly of a fish.

There were also cases of hiding pearls in fish's bellies in order to please Empress Dowager Cixi.

Yu Hongdou looked at the golden beads the size of longan and suddenly understood why the two scholars were so nervous.
