Ruan Ning explained: “There is a reservoir here. I want to try fishing.”
Uncle You was surprised: “Then, how do we catch fish? With our hands?”
Ruan Ning took out a fishing net and said vaguely, “This is what I found last time. There are fishermen in that place, and they have stored a lot of fishing tools.”
Uncle You was immediately delighted: “Then, I’ll try it later. I used a net when I was young.”
Cheng Jili quickly said, “Uncle You, I’ll help you and learn a skill at the same time.”
The group arrived at the reservoir.
Because they didn’t ride bicycles, they walked for about an hour, but after seeing the reservoir, everyone’s fatigue was swept away. Even Zhu Liangliang was full of energy.
Grandpa You quickly inflated the rubber boat with his hands and feet: “The water must be deep here, so we have to be careful.”
Ruan Ning took out a bottle of bait and handed it to him: “Although I don’t know if it will work, let’s try it first. Let’s catch a few fish at a time, and we must not let the boat capsize.”
Uncle You: “I’m not stupid!”
Everyone got on their own boat. Cheng Jili rushed to be on the same boat with Uncle You to learn how to cast a net.
Yan Ruoxue came to Ruan Ning and asked, “Why did you think of fishing here? The shelf life of fish is not long, right?”
“You can pickle it. In my hometown, pickled fish can be eaten for a long time.”
Yan Ruoxue lowered her head: “That’s right.”
Their boat was not for fishing. Their job was to be on guard nearby and ready to rescue people at any time.
Ruan Ning pretended to play with water and put her hand into the water. After a while, 50 tons of water were collected into the space.
The water surface did not change at all.
Just as she was secretly happy, You Dafu suddenly shouted, “We’ve caught a fish! Cheng girl, Xiao Zhu, quickly rowed the boat to the shore.”
The two young people rowed with all their might.
The young wife of the Qin family stayed on the shore and ran over to help stop the boat.
About five or six minutes later, the net was pulled ashore by everyone’s joint efforts. There were three big grass carp and more than a dozen small crucian carp at once.
“That’s great! The baby hasn’t eaten meat for a long time! We can also drink fresh fish soup.”
The young wife of the Qin family cried with joy.
The faces of the others were also beaming with joy.
Ruan Ning learned from You Dafu that the young wife of the Qin family was called Wang Lingxia. She is only 27 years old this year. She used to be a housewife, and now she is learning medicine from Dr. Zhu.
Of course, medical skills were not that easy to learn, but she felt that in order to survive, she must master a unique skill.
After the first attempt, fishing went smoothly afterward.
In one morning, they caught twelve big fish and more than forty small fish of various kinds.
Ruan Ning already collected 300 tons of water.
At noon, everyone sat down to rest, eat some compressed biscuits, and drink some hot water to replenish their energy.
They brought three rubber boats with them, and now one of them was being used to load fish. Uncle You was both happy and distressed at the sight of the boat full of fresh fish.
“How can we get it back? It’s definitely not possible to bring it back alive.”
Zhu Liangliang said: “That’s definitely not possible. Otherwise, if it jumps into the water, where can we find it again?”
Uncle You said: “Then we can only bring dead ones.”
Wang Lingxia said, “It’s the same whether they’re alive or dead. There are so many fish and the smell is so strong that other people can smell it even if they don’t see it. They will definitely come to us and ask where we got it.”
“When the time comes, should we say or not? If we do, it won’t be our business anymore.”
Everyone was silent, saying that it was impossible to say it. Although it was a bit selfish, who would not be selfish in order to survive?
Uncle You hesitated and said, “Why don’t we stay here for two more days? Or you can go back and I’ll stay here at night.”
“How can we guard this remote place? We should be careful not to get sick.” Said Wang Lingxia.
