Chapter 144 Quarrel by the River
Zhang An came out from home and just arrived at the river. Before he reached the crowd, he heard a burst of noise.
"Just tell me whether to gamble or not. Let's see who catches more fish. The loser will stop coming here in the future."
Zhang An frowned when he heard this voice. It depends on the situation. It’s not like someone caught a big fish and everyone came to join in the fun.
It felt more like someone was quarreling to Zhang An.
Driving into the crowd, Zhang An saw a tattooed man with a sinewy face, arguing with Chen Zhijie.
"What's going on, Lao Chen."
"You are back. When I went to your house today, I found that you were not at home. Your neighbor said that you were visiting relatives."
Chen Zhijie said hello to Zhang An first, and then said:
“I don’t even know what’s going on. I just came here to fish for two hours and this guy came to me. Something went wrong, I’m still confused now, maybe I didn’t read the almanac when I went out today.”
Chen Zhijie stopped coming here after the weather got cold and stayed at home for several months.
The weather has become very good during the Chinese New Year. With the appearance of the sun, the temperature has also risen a lot.
So today he plans to come to Changqing River to have a good time. During this time, he was almost exhausted at home.
I didn’t expect that not long after I arrived, someone else would come to find trouble.
And Chen Zhijie just came here for a casual stroll today, he just brought a small pole and nothing else.
But this man kept acting aggressive and made an appointment with him to compete another day.
When he brings the equipment over, we can compete in any way, but this man doesn’t agree and insists on competing today.
It’s as if people are sitting by the river, and disaster is coming from the sky.
"Zhang An, this is what happened."
A buddy appeared next to him and started talking to Zhang An.
The person who spoke was the guy who wanted to buy an eagle from Zhang An last time, named Zhang Chengjie.
This guy’s father is a coal boss. No wonder he didn’t seem to care about money last time.
Then Zhang Chengjie told Zhang An the whole story, and Zhang An roughly understood it.
This tall, tattooed man with a fleshy face is called Brother Long. He just caught a fish weighing more than ten kilograms on the river bank above.
I have been playing harps to everyone by the river, which has affected many people's fishing.
Even the fish that were about to bite the hook were scared away. Everyone couldn't stand it and started to fight.
Said he caught such a small fish and started holding the lute.
Chen Zhijie caught a king fish weighing more than thirty kilograms, but he was not as good at it.
This guy was said to have lost his face. After asking all the way, he found Chen Zhijie.
At first he said that he wanted Chen Zhijie to fight with him, intending to regain the lost face from him.
"Brother, don't change the subject. Just say whether you want to accept it or not. They are all men, not mothers and fathers. They all say you are the King of Fishes. I don't think you are good at it."
< br>This man saw that Chen Zhijie was not paying attention to him, but the people next to him were still contemplating him.
At this moment, he became a little angry and wanted to provoke Chen Zhijie.
After Chen Zhijie negotiated with him just now, he found that this person was extremely outrageous and could not listen to human words.
So now I don’t want to talk to him at all.
“Brother, everyone comes out to go fishing for relaxation and entertainment, so just have fun by yourself.”
Zhang An looked at him like this, and now everyone around the river There were more and more people, so I started to persuade him
"I'm talking to the real owner, what do you care about, you big-ass baby, why are you interfering? Are you going to do it for him?" ?”
Brother Long saw that it was Chen Zhijie who ignored him, but Zhang An next to him spoke up.
At the moment, I thought Chen Zhijie was afraid, and Zhang An was trying to make peace.
"It's meaningless for your brother to say this. It's better for everyone to be nice when we come out to play."
"Don't worry about whether you are nice or not. If you don't stand up for him, why do you come out to interrupt? You lose face. Big?”
Hearing Zhang An’s gentle voice, Brother Long became even more arrogant.
Zhang An and the old village chief have been trying every means to attract people to Changqing.
If this person really keeps doing it and others follow his example, then that's fine.
Zhang An felt that this man was a bit shameless, so he tried to persuade him with nice words. Since this man couldn't listen, Zhang An didn't tolerate him in the end.
"Okay, since you are so addicted to gambling, I will take it up with you. How and what do you want to bet on."
For such a person, Zhang An plans to give it to him today Quit gambling addiction.
"Zhang An, there is no need to pay attention to this kind of person."
Chen Zhijie saw that Zhang An wanted to bet with him, so he persuaded Zhang An that this kind of person is a kind of cowhide candy.
"It's okay, just play it."
"Oh, yes, boy, okay, since you accepted it, I respect you as a person."
"Let's set the rules like this, let's Each of you has a rod, and you can use whatever bait you want except live bait. After two hours, whoever catches more fish will stop coming to this river."
When Brother Long said this. , and even shook the flesh all over his face.
Now I saw Zhang An talking about fighting fish with him, giving the rules with a confident look on his face.
He felt that at such an old age, Zhang An was actually just a child, and he didn’t know much about fishing.
Actually, he guessed it right. Zhang An’s fishing skills were indeed not very good, but this man had a trick.
"Brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept your bet. My home is at Qiaotou. If you ask me not to come here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do it."
" Okay, since you said that, let me give you a favor, just a thousand yuan lottery, and whoever loses will give a thousand yuan, how about it? "
I heard that Zhang An's family is here. , this person has nothing to do, he has to let him go home.
When he said he would bet a thousand yuan, the people behind him were shocked.
Guigui, this is a thousand yuan.
"Okay, as your brother said, will someone come out to preside over it? Just say it without proof, so as not to cheat later."
Zhang An said, pulling out of his pocket I took out a thousand yuan and planned to call someone to do justice.
Brother Long saw that Zhang An could take out a thousand yuan with ease, and it seemed that it was easy.
Suddenly he felt a little frustrated. He didn't have a thousand dollars on him.
What I said just now was just to scare Zhang An away and gain more face for myself.
Unexpectedly, Zhang An directly paid a thousand yuan and defeated his army.
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”
After Zhang An finished speaking, an old man who didn’t mind the excitement emerged from the crowd.
There were a lot of people trying to get angry, but Brother Long was already very unhappy.
After all these years, he has never felt so aggrieved.
Now I see someone else coming out to add fuel to the fire, and I want to ask why you are here.
But he was carrying a leather bag and a big brother.
This person's posture is extraordinary. The brick in his hand is very heavy.
Brother Long, who still wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, suddenly lost his temper.
"Okay, then leave it to this old man."
Zhang An smiled and handed over the money, then looked at Brother Long next to him with a big green dragon.
At this time, this man was already riding a tiger, and it was he who proposed the bet. He said everything himself.
Now it was time to verify the gambling capital, but he couldn't get it.
"Er Hu, you guys come here and give me your money first."
Hearing this name, Zhang An was happy. At first, he thought he was calling his Er Hu.
What he said next made everyone onlookers laugh.
He is a person who has no money to spend. The big brother who has been here for a long time is an empty basket.
To his ears, the laughter felt like ruthless ridicule.
Actually, he feels right. This is not like it, it is clearly a mockery.
The people who came with him didn't really want to lend him money. After all, it was a lot of money.
But at this point, if we don’t lend him a hand, we might end up not having any contact with each other until death. In the end, three or four people worked together for a long time and collected more than 900 yuan, but it was still not enough, only 50 yuan short.
Zhang An saw that he had been holding on for a long time, but he still couldn't get enough, so he spoke.
"Brother, stop looking for it. Let's do this. I can buy two packs of the bait you brought with you for fifty yuan."
Zhang An took out fifty yuan and handed it over. Don't worry, this person will come up with an excuse later that the bait is different, and then refuse to admit it.
This action was applauded by everyone, who bluntly said that Zhang An was grand.
"Okay, you are a fastidious boy. If you lose later, I will pay you back double the money."
In his opinion, Zhang An will definitely not be able to beat him. .
Now that everything is ready, it’s time to start.
"Old Chen, give me a fishing rod. I don't have a rod."
Zhang An was empty-handed and couldn't fish, so he asked Chen Zhijie to borrow a fishing rod.
Finally, Chen Zhijie handed over his fishing rod. Zhang An looked at it and shook his head.
"Old Chen, this rod is not very good, it is too thin. If you just put in a small fish, it will break after a while."
"But I didn't bring a big pole today, I just brought this one."
Chen Zhijie didn't want to catch big fish today, he just came to have fun.
"Brother, you can use mine to catch big fish."
At this time, Zhang Chengjie handed Zhang An a large pole more than seven meters long.
This rod is indeed big enough, just as he said, it is specially designed for catching big fish.
Zhang An was not polite. Seeing that he had adjusted the pole, Zhang An used it directly.
Put some river water into the bait in the basin and put a lot of spring water in it.
After mixing the bait, start hanging the bait and then throw the rod.
The people nearby shook their heads when they saw Zhang An's technique and gesture.
Although I don’t want to say it, it seems that Zhang An has little chance of winning.
Brother Long on the side felt more stable when he saw this.
It feels like the thousand dollars are now in his shape, no different from being in his pocket.
At this moment, he was in a particularly beautiful mood and hummed a little tune unconsciously.
But before he was happy for a while, he hummed a few tunes in his mouth, and Zhang An's side was in trouble.
This time the adjustment in his mouth also stopped, and he could only pray that Zhang An would not be able to pull it up and the fish would slip away from the hook.
But the reality is cruel. Although Zhang An is not very good at fishing, he learned it from the classics in his previous life.
Everyone knows how to do it, but it’s just that they haven’t moved the pole for a long time, and their hands are raw.
This fish is not very big, probably about four to five kilograms of grass carp.
Zhang An slipped to the river in two seconds. When he saw Chen Zhijie planning to help with the copying, Zhang An quickly stopped him and said:
"Old Chen, I will do it myself, in case it doesn't count later." ”
After hearing what Zhang An said, Chen Zhijie handed the net to Zhang An and asked him to do it himself.
One hand supports the pole and the other hand grabs the fish.
Then a four to five kilogram grass carp came into the house.
Zhang An then hung his ears and continued to throw the pole.
Brother Long next to him thought to himself that this must be good luck, and he will not be so easy to bite the ditch next time.
As a result, less than a minute after Zhang Angang threw it down, it turned black again.
“Phew.”
Zhang An directly lifted the rod, and this time the force coming from the other end of the rod was stronger.
But Zhang An still caught the fish easily, and it was another big river carp.
“It’s amazing, it’s only been a few minutes and the rod has connected.”
"Yeah, it didn't take more than two minutes before and after."
Those who originally thought Zhang An didn't know how to fish now realize that they were mistaken.
If you don’t know how to fish, then you are nothing.
In the next hour, Zhang An kept catching fish.
The guy next to him only hit two or three poles, which was considered a normal pace.
However, he is sweating profusely now.
This is not caused by the sun. Although the weather is good today, it is not hot.
This was all done in a hurry, and I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely.
Originally I just wanted to torture food, but I didn’t expect that such an old young man would turn out to be an old ghost.
And just now when he watched Zhang An fishing, he also discovered that Zhang An's skills were not that proficient.
But Zhang An can always catch fish, just throw the rod and he can catch it.
This was the first time he encountered such an evil thing.
He now feels that he bumped into something unclean when he went out.
Unknowingly, an hour and a half has passed, and Zhang An just threw the rod.
There has been no movement for several minutes, just when everyone thought Zhang An's luck was over.
Suddenly, the fish bobber floating on the water was pulled down at once.
Zhang An hit the pole as usual, but this time the force coming from him was wrong.
"Please step aside, everyone, there is something wrong with this pole."
Hearing what Zhang An said, everyone felt that they might have gotten a big deal.
The crowd that had been watching just now dispersed to both sides, leaving a large space for Zhang An.
Sure enough, Zhang An had just finished speaking and hadn't stepped back yet.
The big guy in the river is running around dragging the fishhook.
There is a fierce attack in the east and a fierce attack in the west.
“It must be a big fish this time. Look at the swaying of the head, it is definitely not smaller than what Lao Chen caught last time.”
“It seems that Zhang An not only caught a lot of fish today, but also caught a lot of fish. And it will be very big.”
“Guigui, I usually catch giant fish of thirty to fifty kilograms, but today I stretched it into a bow. How big is this fish?”< br>
Zhang Chengjie was stunned now. If it were him, he would have fallen off the pole long ago, or he would have been pulled into the river.
"Brother, how much does your pole cost? I'm afraid it will break if you pull it later."
Zhang An felt that the fish was quite big and he was not sure that it would be pulled up.
"Bah, bah, bah, brother, don't say such things first, we will definitely get it done. We believe in you, so you can do it with confidence. If it breaks, it's my fault."
Zhang Chengjie was originally a generous person, but Zhang An showed him this skill, and he admired Zhang An even more.
Now I hope Zhang An can pull up this pole and see what he caught.
It doesn’t matter even if it breaks in the end, it doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not.
Their family lacked everything except money. In his father's words, their family's money could be stretched by train leather.
Zhang An felt that the strength on the pole was a little weaker, so he prepared to reel in the line to the shore.
Before they started to move, the guy in the river started blowing the charge horn again.
It's like waltzing in a big river, turning here and there.
From the time he took the bait until now, Zhang An has been slipping away from this big guy for almost forty minutes.
Except for being weak just now, at other times, the fishing rod in Zhang An's hand was basically stretched into a big curved bow.
Fortunately, Zhang Chengjie’s rod is better. If I had another rod, it would have been broken long ago.
Although Zhang An was strong, he didn't dare to drag it hard, so he could only slide it slowly.
