Red Dead Redemption Dawn
Chapter 55: fishing
Quaker Bay is a boat dock, but there are basically no boats parked here.
John came to the pier. There was a bridge three miles to the left, and the bridge was a half-carriage wide. It crosses the Lower Monda River and connects to a small island, which is a robber camp.
I don't know how many robbers squatted in that camp, all of them were smuggled over from Mexico.
The location of the island is very delicate, not in West Elizabeth, but on the border of New Austin.
So although the group of thieves was very close to West Elizabeth and also close to Blackwater Town, it was not under the jurisdiction of Blackwater Town.
And they are very sensible and have been entrenched here for many years, but they have never crossed West Elizabeth to commit a crime, so Commissioner Wright couldn't find a suitable excuse to surround them.
And there is no city in New Austin that has the ability to encircle and suppress this group of robbers' dens with more than 100 people.
So people in the vicinity of West Elizabeth know that there is a gang of robbers, but they are not very afraid, because they have never committed crimes in West Elizabeth for so many years.
If you are from West Elizabeth and accidentally enter their territory, you will be scare away with at most two shots. But sorry if you're from New Austin.
From this incident, we can also see how strong the deterrent force of the police detectives in Heishui Town is on the surrounding area, and the person who caused this situation is largely due to the Chief Leite of Heishui Town.
It has been more than 20 years since he assumed the position of director. After he took office, the security of Heishui Town and even the surrounding areas has become civilized at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chief Wright, who is nearly 60 years old, is also a legend among all western police officers.
But today John came to fish. John came to the pier to find a place he thought was good and started to hang the bait.
Then John started to throw the pole and slammed it hard, because it was too hard and he threw it directly to the other side.
The embarrassed John quickly retracted the line and threw off his control again.
Not bad this time, the location is in the center.
Hearing that fishing requires patience, John started smoking while waiting.
After smoking a cigarette, the buoy moved, and John hurriedly closed the line, but it was empty when he closed it.
Come again! he thought.
Then the buoy moved again, but it was still empty.
An hour later, John's face was gloomy.
It doesn't make sense. That's how people fish on TV.
"How's the harvest?" A voice came from behind John. The voice was very nice. As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was an elderly uncle, and it was the low-frequency vibration of his own subwoofer, which was very tempting.
John looked back at this very attractive voice master, and John was stunned when he saw this person.
Because this person looks like a person in John's memory, he is tall and has a big gray beard. Her long gray hair was very soft.
In the foreign version of Zhang Jizhong, this word appeared when John saw him, but he was much more handsome than Zhang Jizhong, with deep facial features and thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He looks in his fifties, but he is taller than John. Judging from his clothes, he is also very strong and has a good family background.
He took the fishing gear and tied the horse to a tree not far away.
"How's the harvest?" He continued to ask with a smile.
"Well, it's not very good, maybe I should change my position." John complained after recovering.
"Perhaps your approach is wrong." Foreign Zhang Jizhong glanced at the fishing gear in John's hand.
"My first time fishing, maybe it was really wrong." John admitted that he had no experience.
"What's your bait?" the man asked when he walked over to John and put down the bucket.
"Uh, cheese." John looked at his bait.
"Well, that can only catch small fish, you should go to the store to buy some bait, crickets or earthworms, those can catch big ones. Haha." He took out his bait and showed it to John.
Then he went to the river and filled half a bucket of water with a wooden bucket, then started to load the bait, and then threw the rod out.
Then he slowly shook the reel, and after a while his buoy fell sharply, he immediately tugged on the rod and began to sway from side to side.
"When the prey is hooked, you should wait first, let it struggle a bit, let it lose its strength, and then reel in the line." The man explained to John while reeling the line.
After catching up for a while, the hooked fish began to shake violently again. The man immediately stopped catching the line and started swinging the fishing rod from side to side.
After the fish ran out of energy again, the man began to take up the line again.
He was not slow to take up the line, and soon he saw a red trout with a size in the nearby river.
"See, when it starts to struggle, stop reeling. Shake the fishing rod with its course until it is exhausted, and then pull it up." The man smiled and picked up the red trout with wide palms Show like John.
"It's really not small." John finally looked at the big fish and estimated that it weighed five or six pounds.
"You are amazing." John praised.
"If you have mastered the tricks and are familiar with their living habits, you can too. It's very simple, I still have a lot of bait, try it?" The man put the big fish into the vat he brought and said.
"Well, try." John looked at his big fish and nodded eagerly.
"Hehe, I'll teach you how to load the bait." The man said kindly.
"Thank you, my name is John." John nodded his thanks and said his name.
"John, a good name, my name is Koloff. It's nice to meet you." Koloff said after loading John's bait.
"I haven't seen you before, do you live near here?" Kolov asked after throwing the fishing rod out.
"Yes, I live nearby, and I moved here recently. What about you? Are you also from the neighborhood?" John responded nervously while staring at his buoy.
"I'm from here." Kolov nodded.
"John, what are you doing? A bounty hunter?" Kolov asked, looking at the guns on John's waist.
"I worked as a police officer in Heishui Town. I got sick yesterday, so I took a few days off." John briefly explained his occupation.
"Police in Blackwater Town, a good job, I also did it when I was young." Kolov said.
"You, really? You're also in Blackwater Town?" John asked in surprise.
"No, it was somewhere else, but for some reason I couldn't continue to be." Kolov slowly shook the wheel.
"Cough cough cough~!!" Kolov suddenly coughed.
"Are you okay?" John looked at him and asked.
"Ah~ I'm sick, hehe, it's alright." Kolov coughed a few times, and then came out with a bottle of medicine. After a few tablets, I ate it.
John handed over his water, he took the pills and drank it.
"Thank you." Kolov handed the water back to John.
"Yes." John took the kettle and nodded.
The two just sat by the river chatting and waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Kolov said he was a traveler, he had been to many places in the west, and when he was old, he came back here.
He told about the things he met when he was young. John is a modern person, and he must have seen a lot of things.
The chat between the two parties was very harmonious.
When John listened to the story told by Koloff, he remembered Frank, the captain of the migration team not long ago.
Koloff told John a lot of fishing skills, but they are only theoretical, and the real situation still needs to be practiced by oneself.
John also told Koloff a lot of interesting things he had heard.
Kolov is very good at chatting, he can always describe some simple things very interesting, and he always tells things from another point of view.
This made John very comfortable to hear.
"Koloff, you must have been very attractive to women when you were young." John said while looking at the handsome uncle with a big beard.
"Haha~~ I don't deny that there are indeed some. If I were thirty years younger, I would be much more handsome than you." Kolov laughed and boasted that his appearance when he was young was the best in the West.
"Well, I'll take back what I just said for now." John said with a smile.
"Haha." Korov laughed.
Suddenly the fishing rod in John's hand sank, and John quickly grabbed it.
But when he was staggered, Kolov's eyes lit up.
"Swing left and right, swing in its direction, and use a little strength. But don't use too much, it will break the fishing line, put the fishing line properly, and when it is tired, it stops and hurries to the recovery." Ke Luo The husband quickly pointed at the side when he saw that the fish was hooked.
John nervously followed Kolov's words. The fish was really big, and John felt like he was about to be pulled down.
John is carefully measuring the weight of the fishing line and carefully laying out and reeling the line.
But Koloff was obviously rich in teaching, and under Koloff's guidance, it took John more than twenty minutes to pull it to the shore.
"I guessed it was big, but I didn't expect it to be so big, it's a big guy!" Kolov said, looking at the big fish who had been slipping away for more than 20 minutes.
"What kind of fish is this?" John asked as he put down his fishing tackle and went to the shore to pick up the big fish with a bony edge.
"This is a lake sturgeon. You are lucky because it is very old, but it is unfortunate." Kolov looked at the big fish in John's hands and said.
"Is it very old?" John asked, looking at the guy weighing more than 30 pounds in his hand.
"Yes, it's big." Kolov nodded.
"In that case, let's go." John looked at the big fish, thought for a moment, and put it back into the river. As soon as it was free, the lake sturgeon swung its big tail and threw the water in John's face, and then quickly disappeared into the river.
"Oh~ you just let it go?" Kolov asked in confusion.
"Well, didn't you say it's very big?" John touched the water on his face and asked back.
"A lot of people who catch such a big fish for the first time usually keep it, make a specimen and hang it on the wall of the living room and then show it to the guests who come to the living room." Kolov said the common people's approach to this kind of big fish .
"I'm not ordinary." John said to Klov in an air.
"Haha." Korov shook his head, and then his fishing rod also caught a fish.
The two of them chatted and fished like this until after two o'clock in the afternoon, during which time Kolov coughed again.
"Ah~ it's already two o'clock, it's time to go back." John took out his pocket watch and said.
"Nice pocket watch," Klov said, looking at John's amethyst pocket watch.
"By chance." John nodded.
"Are you going back?"
"Well, I'm going back. Kolov, thank you for teaching me how to fish." John shook hands with him.
"I haven't been fishing with me for a long time. I come here often when I have time. I've been fishing here for a few hours every day recently." Kolov said with a smile.
"If I'm free, I'll definitely come over. We can catch more fish than anyone else." John nodded.
"Hehe, I'll give you three at that time." Kolov said with a smile that he was obviously very confident in his skills.
"Haha, goodbye then." John took his things and rode on the horse, then waved to Korov.
Kolov also gestured with a smile.
"Drive~" John flicked his whip and walked towards the manor.
Back at the manor, Jakota has returned, and John saw his horse in the stable.
"Where did Jakota go?" John asked the servant.
"Mr. Jakota is in the backyard," the servant replied.
"Well, give these to Hart, and tell him to get some delicious fish tonight." He nodded, handed a few two or three catties of fish to the servant and walked towards the backyard.
When he came to the backyard, John found that Jakeda was contacting the bow and arrow on the gun target, and the arrow hit the bullseye at a distance of 50 meters.
Seeing the accuracy of Jakota, even if he said he was a sharpshooter, John would believe it.
"I really look forward to what you will be like when I fight alongside you." John commented behind him.
Hearing the voice, Jakota turned around.
"Ah, you're back. You look really good. I went to the mountains early in the morning to get herbs for you." Yakeda looked John up and down and said.
"Thank you, but I said I'm just tired, and it's almost enough to take a night's rest." John said with a smile.
"Are you going to try? I'll teach you." Yakeda said, shaking the compound bow in his hand.
"Well, try it." John took it and tried to see how hard it was.
According to John's estimate, the bow's pulling force is between 60 and 70 pounds, which is a normal high-power hunting bow for hunting large animals.
A bow of thirty pounds can easily kill someone.
John put the bow and arrow in one go, but the accuracy was a bit poor.
The arrow flew past the target.
"You are very talented." Jakota said encouragingly after seeing it.
This pair of bodies learned similar skills very quickly. Thanks to System Dad, John recited ~www.NovelMTL.com~ in his heart. After that, John and Jakeda discussed bow and arrow theory for three hours in the back garden, as well as some skills.
John also learned quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was after six o'clock, and Kane Lambert and Dorom also returned to the manor from get off work at the police station.
Hart also made dinner for everyone.
At the dining table, Kane talked about something.
"John, forgot to tell you, they found a secret door in the basement of the manor the day before yesterday, with piles of weapons in it."
"Stacks of weapons?" John asked suspiciously.
"Well, maybe 20 to 30 people can be equipped. The weapons are all good, and the condition is very new." Lambert nodded and said.
"Do you want to deal with it?" Kane asked.
Hearing this, John nodded and thought about it.
"Are you all equipped?" John looked at everyone and asked.
"Except for Hart, we all got a new one," Kane said.
"Billy clean it up when he has time, keep his weapons neat and tidy, and remember to add a lock. Comes with four keys, one for Kane, Lambert, Dorom and you." John did it briefly after hearing this. arrange.
"Okay, Mr. John." Billy nodded.
The three of Dorom chose the large room on the first floor of the manor, which contained five beds.
According to them, they are used to resting together for the past two years.
There are four large rooms and three guest rooms on the first floor, and six single rooms plus a master bedroom on the second floor.
During the meal, the three of Kane reported to John what happened in the dock area for the past two days. It was all trivial matters, and John didn't care too much.
After dinner, they dispersed. Kane said he had something to report to himself.
John nodded, and the two returned to the room on the second floor.
