Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

More and more people gathered around. After all, even experienced fishermen had never seen such an exaggerated scene.

At this time, Chen Changan was being dragged and was about to enter the water. How big a fish would it take to be able to drag a living person weighing nearly 100 kilograms into the water?

Seeing that he could no longer hold on, Chen Changan called out, "Xiao Liu, come over and help."

There was no other way. If he didn't call for help, he would really get into the water. Seeing Xiao Liu running over in a hurry, Chen Changan continued, "Hold my waist and pull me a little. Don't let me get into the water."

Xiao Liu didn't waste any more words and just put his arms around Chen Changan's waist from behind.

With Xiao Liu's help, Chen Changan finally stopped his decline. The fish may have felt the pain, or felt that it was no match for Chen Changan, so it stopped diving deeper.

Chen Changan felt the weakening of the opponent's force through the power transmitted by the fishing rod, and began to stand up and retreat.

At the same time, he said to Xiao Liu, "That's enough, Xiao Liu, you don't have to hold me anymore. Go and help me find a stronger rope nearby. The longer the better."

Xiao Liu was pretty good. He didn't ask why and just did what you said. When he heard what Chen Changan said, he immediately turned around and went to look for a rope.

Chen Changan stepped back a few meters, and suddenly the fish jumped out of the water, causing the onlookers to exclaim in surprise.

I saw a black, huge, round fish jumping out of the water.

Under the sunlight, a blue glow appears.

Then with a "bang", the fish jumped out of the water several meters high, then fell into the water, splashing higher and forming a small rainbow.

There were discussions and exclamations from all around. Someone shouted, "Dolphin, it's a dolphin."

Someone immediately retorted, "This is Shichahai, where did the dolphins come from?"

Someone else said, "I heard that there is a fish called pufferfish in the Yangtze River in the south. I wonder if this is true."

The pufferfish's statement has been recognized by many people.

The fish that jumped out of the water no longer felt pain because the fishing line was loose, but was only frightened. It subconsciously went to a place where it felt safe and continued to swim deeper.

Chen Changan immediately felt the pressure. This time, Chen Changan sat directly on the ground, holding the fishing rod, and the veins on his neck were exposed again.

Chen Changan and the big fish started wrestling again, and soon it was Chen Changan who was defeated. It was about to turn into a tug-of-war, so Chen Changan immediately stood up and walked forward a few steps. After the fishing rod could be erected, he continued to sit down and wrestle with the fish.

There is no better way at this time, we can only see who can hold on to the end.

Chen Changan couldn't hold on any longer and took a few steps forward. After repeating this several times, he was almost at the water's edge again. At this time, Chen Changan had no choice.

Among the onlookers, some are stronger than himself, and some are heavier than himself, but their skills in reeling and controlling fish are probably not even as good as Uncle Xiao's, so it can easily turn into a tug-of-war or a broken rod.

If it really doesn't work, I can only give up. It's estimated that this fish is at least 70 kilograms. This is the biggest fish Chen Changan has caught since he came to this world. Of course, it can't be compared with later generations. Sheep fish weighing 100+ have also been caught.

Just when Chen Changan was considering whether to give up, Xiao Liu came back and brought Chen Changan dozens of meters of hemp rope.

Chen Changan quickly tested the strength of the hemp rope and felt it was pretty good. There was no other way at the moment, so he asked Xiao Liu to help tie the hemp rope to the fishing rod.

Just after tying it, Chen Changan, standing by the water, holding the fishing rod and about to engage in tug-of-war, immediately let go.

In later times, this was called a "failure line". When fishing for a big fish, the fish suddenly exerts force. In order to prevent the rod from exploding or tug-of-war, or the rod flies out before you can react, you can use a "failure line" to continue pulling the rod back and continue to reel in the fish.

In later life, Chen Changan also used a rope to catch the 100+ black carp.

After seeing clearly what Chen Changan was doing at this time, many people said that Chen Changan was smart and could come up with such a solution in an emergency.

The people around were talking about what kind of fish it was, how big it was, and whether it was a water monkey. The buzz was endless, and more and more people were watching.

Uncle Xiao saw Chen Changan's operation and knew that it was temporarily stable, so he came over and asked, "Changan, what kind of fish is this? It's so big?"

With the rope now in hand, Chen Changan was not as nervous as before. He sat on the ground and took a few deep breaths before answering, "Just now a fish jumped out of the water. I saw that this fish should be a black carp, one of the four major carps."

Uncle Xiao asked, "Among the four major carps, black carp? I remember black carp seems to be more common in the south, right?"

Chen Changan replied, "Yes, black carp are mainly found in the Yangtze River and Pearl River basins, with only a small number found in North China and Northeast China. I may have been very lucky today to catch such a big black carp."

Uncle Xiao continued, "When you catch this fish, give it to me. I'll trade it for cigarettes and alcohol."

"Okay, since you asked, I'll give it to you. But if something unexpected happens and you don't catch anything, don't blame me." Chen Changan said indifferently.

This fish was a bit tasteless to Chen Changan, as he had caught bigger fish than this one. If it was sold to the steel mill, even if it weighed 70 jin, it would only cost yuan at cents per jin, and the workers would be exhausted from carrying it around.

In exchange for some cigarettes and alcohol, Uncle Xiao would not let himself suffer any loss. He did not have to worry about the moving work.

If the people around knew that Chen Changan looked so similar, he would probably be scolded to death. Nowadays, more than 30 yuan is a month's salary for many people. A fish caught in such a short time can be exchanged for a month's salary, but Chen Changan still doesn't think much of it.

Chen Changan tied the fishing rope to his arm and let the fish run around, pulling it from time to time. After nearly an hour of hard work, he finally got the fishing rod in his hand again.

This time, the fish no longer had the same strength as it had the first time it wrestled with Chen Changan.

Not long after, Chen Changan pulled the fish to the shore and handed the fishing rod to Uncle Xiao. Chen Changan and Xiao Liu then went into the water, and the two of them worked together to pull the fish out of the water.

I saw a fish that was over one meter long. It looked a bit like a carp, but more like a pig. It was extremely fat. It had a dark background, and its large scales glowed green. It was indeed a bit scary.

Xiao Liu and Chen Changan held the fish and were greeted with exclamations from the onlookers. Some people have been fishing for their entire lives, but have never seen or even heard of this.

Not to mention the lack of entertainment in this world, even in the future, posting on WeChat Moments or Tik Tok can still get a wave of praise and traffic.
