Lu Qing arrived at the fishing spot, flattened the surrounding grass, placed a wooden bucket, and then took out the bamboo tube containing earthworms.
He removed the mud seal from the bamboo tube, revealing the wriggling red earthworms inside.
The Xiao Pihai, with their sharp eyes and elevated position, immediately gasped in surprise after seeing the wriggling things in the bamboo tube.
Earthworms, of course, they knew; they often caught them to play with.
Sometimes they would dig them up to feed to their chickens and ducks at home.
But they didn't know that these things could also be used to catch fish.
Under the watchful eyes of the Xiao Pihai, Lu Qing took out an earthworm and threaded it onto the hook.
Then he cast the still-wriggling earthworm into the water.
The landing spot was precisely the gray glow spiral fishing point marked by his ability.
As the fishhook entered the water, Lu Qing began to wait quietly.
The Xiao Pihai on the slope behind him held their breath in tension, watching the scene intently.
Soon, they saw the small wooden stick, tied to the bamboo pole's fishing line and now floating on the water, begin to move gently.
This made the Xiao Pihai even more nervous.
Only Lu Qing remained calm and composed, not moving, allowing the wooden stick to tremble there.
It wasn't until one end of the wooden stick Warp up and suddenly plunged down that he abruptly pulled up the fishing rod.
A white line flew out of the water.
By the time everyone saw clearly, a two-finger-thick, long White Fish was already hooked.
“He really caught a fish!”
Watching the White Fish, its tail constantly jumping and flicking, hanging on the hook, the Xiao Pihai were all stunned.
Little Yan even jumped up: “Brother caught a fish, such a big fish!”
Lu Qing also smiled.
Fortunately, his skill hadn't deteriorated; he landed it on the first cast. Otherwise, if the fish had gotten off the hook in front of a bunch of Xiao Pihai, he would have been embarrassed.
Taking the fish off, Lu Qing observed it carefully.
This White Fish was quite similar to the small, white-striped fish he had caught in his previous life.
Soon, a faint layer of gray light emerged from the fish's body.
【White Fish: Edible, perhaps good for nutritional supplementation.】
Seeing the three words “can be eaten,” Lu Qing immediately felt relieved.
It's good that it's edible; at least today's food supply is secured.
He poured some water into the bucket, put the fish in, and heard the Xiao Pihai behind him still shouting excitedly, feeling a bit helpless.
“You guys, be a little quieter, don't scare all the fish away.”
Hearing this, the Xiao Pihai quickly covered their mouths, not daring to make any more noise.
However, the excitement in their eyes was impossible to hide.
When they saw Lu Qing actually catch a fish, they were as excited as if they had discovered a new world.
However, what happened next made the Xiao Pihai feel what true excitement was.
Lu Qing put another earthworm on the hook, and as soon as he put the hook into the water, not long after, the float moved, and another White Fish was pulled up by him.
From then on, Lu Qing entered a continuous fishing mode.
One small fish after another was constantly caught by him, with such ease that it was as if he was directly pulling fish out of the water.
The fish he caught were no longer limited to White Fish; there were other types of small fish as well.
He also caught many yellow catfish and small river shrimp, among other things.
This scene truly excited the Xiao Pihai behind him again and again.
If they weren't afraid of scaring the fish away, they would have already shouted loudly.
Lu Qing reached into the bamboo tube again but found it empty.
Looking inside, he saw that most of the earthworms in the bamboo tube had already been used for fishing, with only a few remaining at the bottom.
Looking at the wooden bucket next to him, it was also full, a bountiful harvest.
He couldn't help but smile.
It had been a long time since he had enjoyed reeling in a catch so much.
As expected of another world, the fish that grew in this pristine environment were simply different.
They were full of power, and even small fish felt great when reeled in.
At the same time, he also felt somewhat fortunate.
It was a good thing he chose this fishing spot; even small fish put up such a fight when reeled in. If he had gone to the other two fishing spots, the fishing line might have been snapped by a big fish in an instant.
Seeing that the earthworms were almost used up, and the frequency of fish biting had clearly decreased since a moment ago.
Lu Qing knew it was time to stop.
If he continued fishing, the small fish gathered below this fishing spot would be completely swept away by him.
He needed to give them some time to gather again.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing began to reel in his fishing rod, poured the remaining few earthworms into the water, then picked up the wooden bucket and walked up.
The Xiao Pihai on the small slope, their eyes now filled with admiration.
Seeing Lu Qing come up, they immediately gathered around him.
They exclaimed repeatedly at the large bucket of small fish.
“Brother Lu Qing, you're amazing! You actually caught so many fish!”
“So many fish, how long will it take to eat them all?”
“So, you really can catch fish with a bamboo pole!”
...“Brother, brother, fishy, so many fishy!”
Little Yan also came to Lu Qing, jumping and skipping, her small face flushed with excitement.
“It's alright, just that the fish are a bit small,” Lu Qing said reservedly.
When the Xiao Pihai had calmed down a bit, Lu Qing said, “You guys, help me carry this bucket of fish back later. Everyone will get some of these fish.”
Lu Qing estimated that the fish caught this time probably weighed seven or eight catties, and with the wooden bucket and water, the weight was considerable.
His body was still weak now; carrying it for a short while was fine, but carrying the fish back to the village would be a bit beyond his strength.
Anyway, with so many fish, he and his sister couldn't eat them all in one or two meals.
Small fish die easily, and there were no preservation conditions at home, so it was better to distribute some of them.
“Okay, Brother Lu Qing!”
Hearing that there were fish to share, the Xiao Pihai immediately became excited.
One person lifting each side, they easily lifted the entire bucket of fish.
Those who couldn't find a spot almost cried in frustration.
Because of this, Lu Qing had to step in to mediate, telling them to take turns, which finally calmed the argument.
And so, the group walked towards the village, carrying a large bucket of fish.
Upon reaching the village, the excited chatter of the Xiao Pihai drew some villagers out to see what was happening.
When they saw, they were immediately surprised.
“Lu Qing really caught fish, and so many of them?”
During the time Lu Qing went fishing, the news of his recovery had also spread throughout the village.
Many villagers also knew that he had gone fishing by the river.
But no one expected that he would be able to catch so many at once.
Looking inside that wooden bucket, there must have been at least ten catties of fish.
When did Lu Qing learn this skill?
At once, many villagers became curious.
Especially those villagers who had also tried fishing by the river themselves were particularly eager to know what method Lu Qing had used to catch so many fish at once.
Thus, driven by curiosity, some villagers involuntarily followed him to Lu Qing's house.
