Chapter 944
After tying the rope of this fishing net to the thousand-jin hook on the shaft, the three of them didn't even need to help, and the big horse quickly pulled the fishing net out.
It was very obvious that there weren't that many fish in this net, so the resistance of the whole fishing net in the water wasn't very large.
Just at the moment the fishing net left the water, the three of them instantly widened their eyes, and almost shouted in unison:
"Oh my god!"
The reason these three people were so uncomposed was because in this fishing net at this time, there was a very huge fish rolling and struggling inside.
Seeing Wang Li staring dumbfoundedly at this big fish, his mouth muttering:
"This... this is... Fourth Brother, did you catch the fish king of this river? The one we caught from the ice last time wasn't as big as this one."
Immediately after, Wang Li ran toward the fish while shouting:
"Hahahaha... this huge big fish, it's satisfying just to look at, hahahaha..."
Wang Yi also walked toward the fish with excitement and said:
"Big Brother, you're too fierce, you could even catch such a huge fish, hahahaha, this is the first time I've seen such a huge fish..."
To be honest, Wang An himself never expected that he could catch such a big fish with one net.
But this fish bait spot was indeed a bit different from usual, because normally, the fish in the bait spot would last for more than ten minutes from the start of gathering to the end of the fish school scattering.
But the three of them and the big horse, just in the time it took to pull the fishing net, the fish in this bait spot scattered, and the speed of scattering was a bit too fast.
So in fact, it was because the fish in the bait spot had been eaten quite a bit by this big fish, and they were also scared away by it.
Seeing this big fish, Wang An was also very happy, and hearing the two younger brothers praising him, Wang An was even happier.
Wang Yi's voice fell, and Wang An said very pretentiously:
"Now you've seen your big brother's power, right? You still said I didn't understand the fishing net; you're truly interesting."
Wang Yi said with a flattering smile:
"Hehehehe... Big Brother is impressive, my big brother is the most impressive."
Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Yi and didn't bother with him, but looked at the fish.
This big fish in front of him was the famous Kaluga sturgeon of the Northeast.
Visually, the length must be at least two point six or seven meters or more; if you count that long fish tail, it must be about 3 meters long.
As for the weight, it must be two hundred seventy or eighty jin or even 300 jin, so this fish could definitely be considered the fish king of this river.
Of course, besides this big Kaluga sturgeon, there were also many other fish in this net, but compared to this Kaluga sturgeon, the other fish were truly a bit unappealing.
After the three brothers surrounded this fish and cherished it for a while, Wang Li suddenly said to Wang An:
"Big Brother, you say, if I take a piece of Kaluga sturgeon meat to Xiuyu's house, will Xiuyu be very happy?"
Wang An and Wang Yi, upon hearing Wang Li's words, the smiles on their faces instantly stagnated.
Subconsciously, this pair of brothers, Wang An and Wang Yi, looked at each other with a confused face.
Immediately after, Wang Yi looked at Wang Li with disdain and said in a tone that was somewhat mocking:
"Fifth Brother, isn't this too much? You can think of my future sister-in-law even with a fish; you're truly... no, you're truly promising."
It was very obvious that Wang Yi actually wanted to say "you're truly cheap," but Wang Yi, as a younger brother, felt it wasn't good to say that to Wang Li, who was an older brother, so Wang Yi changed his words temporarily.
Wang Li, upon hearing this, his face immediately turned red, clearly becoming embarrassed, and he made his signature move, which was scratching his head.
Wang An scolded Wang Yi with a smile:
"Why are you talking to your Fifth Brother like that? He's caring for his wife; you're a child, don't talk nonsense."
As he spoke, Wang An also gave Wang Yi a wink.
Wang Yi, upon hearing Wang An say this and noticing Wang An's wink, immediately apologized to Wang Li with a smile:
"Fifth Brother, I didn't mean anything else, don't take it to heart. Maybe when I find a wife, I won't be as promising as you; no, that's not it, it's that I care about my wife even more than you."
Wang Yi's apology sounded like it was meant to be, but in Wang Li's view, it was truly not as good as not saying anything.
After blushing and holding it in for a long time, Wang Li didn't know if he had figured it out or if his skin had grown thicker, but suddenly he returned to normal and said with a shameless attitude:
"Humph, so what if it's a fish? A fish can also represent my sincerity; anyway, as long as Xiuyu is happy, I'm happy, I'm willing."
Wang An and Wang Yi, seeing Wang Li's attitude, were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha..."
Wang Li's performance at this time made Wang An suddenly think of an animal name he heard in prison in his past life.
If you use this animal's name to describe Wang Li at this time, it is absolutely quite appropriate, and this animal is called a "lick-dog" (simp).
Fortunately, women in this era, if you treat them well, they will only treat you better; it rarely happens like in later generations, which is "lick-dog, lick-dog, licking until the end with nothing."
Besides, it's no exaggeration to say that with a fierce god like Wang An, Li Xiuyu's family wouldn't dare to do anything to wrong Wang Li.
Of course, Li Xiuyu's family still looked quite decent and weren't the kind of people who were greedy or ungrateful.
So after laughing, Wang An didn't persuade or educate Wang Li, but said with a smile:
"Alright, as long as you're willing, we'll kill this fish at noon today, and you can send it to your Xiuyu in the afternoon, hahahaha..."
I don't know why, but every time Wang An saw Wang Li's cheap appearance at this time, he wanted to laugh.
And when Wang An laughed, Wang Yi followed, and Wang Li looked at the two and followed with a smile.
Wang An looked at his watch and greeted the two:
"Alright, it's 10:30, let's leave it at that for this morning. Xiao Yi, go harness the cart; Fifth Brother, let's get these fish out, and we'll load them all into the cart regardless of size in a while."
Wang Yi promised, untied the fishing net rope, and led the big horse to harness the cart, while Wang An and Wang Li untied the two fishing nets and placed the fish on the grass.
I have to say, although the first net of fish was truly quite exhausting to pull up, the number of fish was truly large.
Although there were many fish, the delicious and famous fish, that is, the fish in the "three or five" category, didn't account for much, only about 30 percent.
The vast majority were common carp, grass carp, and crucian carp.
But besides the fish, there were also 3 not-so-big turtles inside.
