Chapter 398: A lucky strike

Hearing the conversation of the few, Wang An wiped the non-existent sweat on his head.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough; otherwise, he would have received a round of kicks!

Just this day after day, he must never be a soft-hearted person in the future.

Then, Wang An and Wang Li sat on the side, watching these six people scoop fish, each guarding an ice hole.

I have to say, this feeling is also quite good.

Very quickly, except for Wang Shuai's ice hole, the other 5 ice holes yielded fish again.

At the same time, except for Wang Shuai, the other 5 people started shouting and screaming.

Watching these 5 people scooping fish happily, Wang Shuai couldn't help but shout to Wang An:

"Little An brother, what's going on with this ice hole of mine? Why are there no fish?"

Actually, the reason Wang Shuai had to shout was that there was a distance between these six ice holes.

The years of experience in scooping fish of Northeast people tell everyone that the distance between every two ice holes must be a bit far.

Otherwise, it is very likely that one ice hole has fish, while the other ice hole is a white chisel; even if there are fish, there will only be three or two.

Hearing Wang Shuai's shout, Wang An and Wang Li subconsciously looked at each other and then showed joy on their faces.

Mainly, these two almost walked away the day before yesterday because there were no fish in the ice hole, and then they got two big goods.

Therefore, the two brothers each picked up an ice chisel and walked toward Wang Shuai.

Wang Shuai saw this and immediately joked: "What's the meaning? Are you two brothers going to chisel another ice hole for me?"

Wang An smiled and shook his head: "What ice hole to chisel? We two feel that in this ice hole of yours, a big fish is coming."

Wang Shuai joked again: "Big fish? How big? As big as a person? Hahaha..."

However, what Wang Shuai didn't expect was that Wang An and Wang Li actually nodded at the same time, acknowledging what he said.

Wang Shuai's eyebrows instantly rose, his big eyes wide, and he asked with disbelief:

"What do you two mean? Is there really such a big fish?"

Wang An smiled and didn't speak, but Wang Li said with a smile:

"Wang brother, look at what you said; the boiled fish we ate at noon today was meat from a 200-jin large huchen, and I remember you said huchen meat was delicious."

After Wang Li finished speaking, Wang Shuai immediately smiled and said:

"Quick, tell me, what's going on? Can you scoop such a big fish?"

Wang Li heard this and told the story of pulling out the large huchen the day before yesterday with a smile.

Just as Wang Shuai was listening with glowing eyes, Wang An discovered a large bubble rising on the water surface in the ice hole.

People who fish know that if water bubbles for no reason, there must be fish or other water animals under the water.

So Wang An said to the two: "Quick, quick, prepare, the fish is coming up."

Hearing this, the two stopped talking and watched the water surface in the ice hole nervously.

Just like that, the three stared at the water surface for five minutes, and a huge fish mouth appeared on the water surface.

Wang An and Wang Li were quick-handed and fast-footed, almost shooting their ice chisels out at the same time.

Actually, both were estimating the position of the fish and stabbing at the position on the fish's head under the water.

Fortunately, both stabbed quite accurately, directly pinning the fish there, one horizontally and one vertically.

But fish, this thing, the main power is in the fish tail, so after this big fish was pinned, it started to struggle for its life.

That huge power directly splashed the water in the ice hole out.

Immediately after, Wang An shouted to Wang Li: "Come, Old Five, exert force together, one, two, up."

At this moment, the two were pressing the handle of the ice chisel with their left hands and holding the middle of the ice chisel with their right hands.

After Wang An shouted "up," the brothers exerted force at the same time and carried this big fish out.

I have to say, this job was truly beautiful.

After throwing this fish onto the ice, the actions of the three attracted the attention of the other 5 people.

Immediately after, these 5 people ran over and surrounded them.

Only seeing this big fish on the ice, it was at least 150 jin, and the two ice chisels, one stabbed into the fish's lower jaw, and the other stabbed into the fish gill through the gap of the fish gill shell.

These two ice chisels were stabbed accurately and ruthlessly.

Wang Shuai looked at the big fish excitedly and asked: "Little An, is this big fish the taimen among the Three Flowers and Five Luos?"

Successfully harvesting the big fish, Wang An was naturally very happy, nodding:

"Mmhmm, it is indeed a taimen."

Taimen, scientific name Hucho taimen, also called zheluo fish, zhelu fish; this is a fish more fierce than the catfish.

Generally, fish in the water follow the rule of big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimp.

But taimen is different; this thing not only eats small fish but also eats water snakes, water rats, or birds.

The reason people know these things is that many people found the corpses of these animals in the fish's stomach after catching taimen.

Normally speaking, 100-jin taimen can occasionally be caught, but such a big taimen is indeed rare.

To tell the truth, Wang An was a bit puzzled looking at the big taimen on the ice.

If this were a huchen, Wang An would feel normal, because huchen usually stay in still water areas.

And taimen, this thing, the more turbulent the water flow, the more they can be found.

Wang An scanned left and right and finally knew the reason.

It was just because the position of the ice hole where Wang Shuai was, was chosen wrong!

Although this is also a bend in the river, it is located on the inside of the bend, not the outside of the bend.

And as everyone knows, the matter of chiseling ice holes to scoop fish must be done on the outside of the river bend, because only the fish on the outside are the most numerous.

Wang An touched his nose and sucked his teeth, but didn't dare to say this problem.

As a local, finding a place to chisel an ice hole and finding the wrong place—is it embarrassing to say this?

Mainly, this ice hole wasn't cut with a chainsaw but was poked out bit by bit by Wang Shuai and He Liang with an ice chisel.

Fortunately, a big fish came out of this ice hole; otherwise, this matter would be so annoying, you say.

However, this situation, can it be considered a lucky strike?

At the same time, Wang Li also discovered this problem and subconsciously looked at Wang An.

Wang An grinned and blinked, giving Wang Li a wink.

Wang Li immediately understood, lowered his

Actually, at this moment, Wang An was looking at the big fish while also struggling to hold back his laughter; however, as he watched, he suddenly had a whimsical idea and pulled out his hunting knife.

Then, Wang An was seen squatting there, directly slicing open the belly of the large taimen, scooping out the fish's internal organs, picking out the inedible intestines, and throwing them into the ice hole.
