Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Chapter 16 Catching River Fish with Bare Hands

"The sun is about to set in the west, and Weishan Lake is quiet..."

The sun began to set, and songs began to blare from the loudspeakers in the factory. Workers from various workshops began to file out of the workshops, and it was time to get off work.

However, the machines in each workshop were still roaring, with no sign of stopping.

That's because in order to catch up with the production schedule, the factory implemented a three-shift system, so the machines kept running even when the workers stopped.

"Guohua! It's so uncomfortable to be all sweaty. Let's go take a shower first!"

As soon as Li Guohua walked out of the door of Technical Group 3, he was stopped by Han Wenlong. His family was also in the city, and he was going home to stay at night, so the two of them could stay together.

"Take a bath? Where can I take a bath?" Li Guohua was a little confused. He had never heard of a bathhouse here.

"Hahaha, follow me!"

Han Wenlong has changed his work clothes in such a short time. He is now wearing a sleeveless T-shirt on the upper body and a pair of large shorts on the lower body, revealing his strong arms. If you don’t know him, you might think he is an athlete.

Following Han Wenlong, after leaving the factory, we found that there were many people dressed similarly walking south.

Li Guohua began to understand that these people were going to the river to take a bath.

Textile factories are large water users, which requires not only sufficient water resources, large amounts of water, and good water quality, but also preferably soft water (water that contains no or only a small amount of soluble salts of calcium and magnesium).

Another feature is that it is convenient to discharge sewage. For example, the sizing process, bleaching process, scouring process, and printing and dyeing process all require sewage discharge.

So most of the textile factories were built near the river.

There are rivers to the south and north of the textile factory. The river to the south is larger and has plenty of water. I heard that it used to suffer from floods frequently.

When we arrived at the river, there were already a lot of people there. Some of them went directly into the river to swim, while more people were washing themselves with towels by the river.

There were not only men but also women by the river, and there were more of them, all gathered together in large groups. The textile factory had more female workers, so they occupied a larger area.

But they have to wear more clothes, so they can just play with water. It would be difficult to wash them thoroughly.

"Oh oh oh!" A group of young men howled and jumped into the water.

Han Wenlong also dived into the water, then emerged from the water ten meters away and waved to Li Guohua, asking him to get into the water quickly.

After sweating all day, his clothes were already soaked. Feeling the cool water vapor from the river, Li Guohua was already feeling hungry and thirsty.

He simply stripped off his upper body and jumped into the river wearing only his shorts.

Fortunately, there were no briefs at that time, and everyone wore large boxer briefs made of cloth. In the summer, you can wear them directly outside, and the trouser legs are still long, so you don’t act like a hooligan in front of the female workers.

In his previous life, Li Guohua was a person who liked playing with water. Since he was bound to the small world, he has become more sensitive to water, as if his affinity with the water element has increased.

Li Guohua followed Han Wenlong's example and dived directly into the middle of the river.

"Strange, why don't I feel any breath-holding at all?" Li Guohua thought secretly in his heart.

When he was diving, he had the habit of counting silently in his mind to calculate his distance in case of any accidents.

I didn't expect that this time after I dived down, I didn't feel like I was holding my breath at all, and it felt like I could hold my breath for a long time.

"Guohua, I didn't realize you could swim so far underwater, that's amazing!" Han Wenlong swam over with all his might and said happily.

He also didn't expect that the thin Li Guohua could swim so well and it didn't seem like it was any effort at all when he treaded water.

"There are even more powerful ones!" Li Guohua smiled mysteriously, then dived into the water.

His figure disappeared in the water. After about twenty seconds, he suddenly surfaced in the distance, with a lot of waves splashing up.

Li Guohua was seen holding a big fish tightly in his hands, and the fish head was almost as big as a child's head.

The big fish felt like it was about to be caught out of the water, so it flapped its tail hard, splashing layer upon layer of waves on the water surface.

It turned out that when Li Guohua was diving just now, he saw fish in the water, and immediately thought of a pond in his own small world, but there were only water plants in it and no living things.

Subconsciously, I wanted to put it into the small world, but the fish in the river suddenly disappeared and then appeared in the pond in the small world.

Li Guohua was instantly overjoyed, it turned out that his ability could not only be used on the shore, but also in the water, but the distance was much closer.

When on the shore, anything you can see within a range of about ten meters can be collected directly, but once in the water, you can only collect anything within a range of five meters.

Just now, at least a dozen big fish were taken into the space. Then he selected a big fish that looked to be about ten pounds, took it out of the space, and pretended that he had caught it with his bare hands.

"Big fish, look, someone caught a big fish!"

Seeing Li Guohua dragging the big fish to the shore, people soon noticed it and started shouting.

This river is the main water system of the capital city. The fish in it are very big. They can often see them in the river, but no one has been able to catch them yet.

Everyone was excited to see Li Guohua catch such a big fish with empty hands.

The one who shouted the most exaggeratedly was Han Wenlong. When he heard Li Guohua say that there were even more powerful ones, he thought he was going to swim farther. But he actually pulled a big fish out of the water and was dumbfounded.

"Such a big fish, it's amazing!"

"That's right. Such a big fish would take several days to eat, right?"

"You only know how to eat it. A fish this big can be sold for two dollars! Why not buy something else?"

"He's so good, my wife will never lack fish and meat to eat in the future!"

Regardless of gender, age, young girls, young wives, and young men, they all gathered around to watch the big fish.

Everyone was talking about it, some even picked it up to feel its weight and calculate its value.

"Haha, it was all luck. Maybe I scared it when I was swimming, so it bumped into my arms and then I held it!" Li Guohua explained with a smile.

It was okay when he was surrounded by so many people, especially the older sisters who said things very explicitly that made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha, this is my brother Li Guohua, my name is Han Wenlong, and we are from Group 3 of the Technical Department!" Han Wenlong shouted happily at the side, and those who didn't know would think he had caught a fish.

"What are you doing?"

Everyone gathered together and shouted loudly, which still alarmed the factory leaders. Those who didn't know thought something big had happened.

Leading the group was an old acquaintance, the logistics director Zheng Aimin, followed by several people from the security department.

"Uncle Zheng, Guohua caught a big fathead fish!" Han Wenlong saw Zheng Aimin and said hurriedly as if he was offering a treasure.

"Yeah, it's quite big!"

Zheng Aimin looked at the fish, which was at least one meter long and weighed at least ten kilograms. Suddenly he remembered that the leader of the department would come to inspect the factory tomorrow, and he was worried about what to use to entertain him. Isn't this a new thing delivered to his door?
