Chapter 73: Ice-breaking Fishing

After the episode just now, Zhang Xiaoyan finally came to another small tributary under the leadership of Yan Fugui. The river here was not wide and was completely frozen.

Zhang Xiaoyan walked on the ice and jumped twice, and the ice only made a banging sound, obviously it was very frozen.

"Come to think of it, I've never dug ice to catch fish before, and I don't know where to choose. Xiao Zhang, do you know where to dig?"

Yan Fugui first put down the bucket and then hid his bicycle in a pile of reeds and came over with the bucket. Seeing Zhang Xiaoyan jumping on the ice, he felt his heart beating along with her. Who would jump on the ice like this without being afraid of breaking the ice and rolling into the river?

"Fish also need oxygen. The ice here is so thick. As long as we open a hole anywhere in the middle of the river and put an oxygen tank in, the fish will definitely come over soon. I have a hammer and a pestle to break the ice."

"Let me go first! You can come later when you run out of energy. It will be fine if we take turns."

As Yan Fugui spoke, he put the bucket on the ground, took out the hammer and pestle that Zhang Xiaoyan had mentioned, and started hammering.

Ping-pong, there were sparks flashing from time to time and it was quite rhythmic. Zhang Xiaoyan did not struggle with the other party. She had internal strength and could do it with a slap if she wanted to. But she could not do anything shocking with this person.

Yan Fugui was just a scholar after all, and he was so weak that he soon ran out of strength.

Zhang Xiaoyan didn't laugh at the other person. After knocking for a long time, she only made an ice hole the size of a fist.

"Let me do it. You take a rest on the side. Didn't I tell you that I have practiced martial arts? So I am much stronger than you. It won't be difficult for me to break open an ice cave like this one."

Zhang Xiaoyan took the tool from the other person's hand and started hammering like Yan Fugui did.

Yan Fugui, who was so tired that he collapsed on the ice, looked at Zhang Xiaoyan speechlessly.

"You never said you learned martial arts, but you are really strong."

It seemed that the other party had only hit it a few times, but the iron pestle had already submerged half of it. Yan Fugui didn't know what to say. It was shameful that he, a grown man, was not as good as a lesbian who had just reached adulthood.

Zhang Xiaoyan ignored the other person's words. With her current physical fitness, even without using internal force, she only used her own strength to dig a 30-centimeter hole in less than five minutes.

This was mainly because the ice layer was quite thick, and Zhang Xiaoyan had to chisel the ice while scraping out the broken ice.

"Come on, let me scoop up the ice chips. You take a rest."

Yan Fugui quickly crawled over, holding a gourd-shaped ladle in his hand.

Zhang Xiaoyan didn't argue with him. After all, they had agreed on the way to split the fish in half. How could she not put in some effort?

Yan Fugui also moved quickly and scooped to the end. Half of his upper body sank into the ice. If Zhang Xiaoyan had not moved quickly, he would have fallen into the ice hole.

"Okay, I'll do the rest! You should take a rest and rub your hands so they don't get frozen."

Zhang Xiaoyan pulled the person aside, took out the scoop net she had prepared earlier and slowly put it into the water. At this time, small fish had already surfaced on the water surface where there were still some broken ice chips.

"Hey there are fish."

Yan Fugui had no time to rub his hands now. He lay beside the ice hole, staring at the small fish heads with shining eyes.

"Stop looking at it and pick up the fish scissors and put them in the bucket."

Zhang Xiaoyan said unhappily that it was really this head next to the ice cave that affected her operations, and if she didn't act quickly, it would probably freeze again soon.

"Hey, hey, I'll pick it up right away."

Yan Fugui retreated happily. After Zhang Xiaoyan scooped up the first bag of fish, she quickly picked it up and poured it onto the ice next to her, then slowly put the scoop net into the water.

Yan Fugui looked at the fish jumping on the ice with shining eyes, and happily picked up the fish one by one and put them into the bucket, muttering:

"A crucian carp, a whitebait, oh, this is a small silver carp, wow! I haven't seen a grouper for a long time, this must be a grouper! It's much faster than me fishing."

Zhang Xiaoyan completely ignored the man who was already enjoying the fun of picking up fish. She caught all the fish that popped up one by one with her net bag, including some big fish.

Soon the bucket was full of fish. Yan Fugui ran to the reed bush nearby, pulled some reeds and passed all the fish through the gills one by one.

He put the fish of all sizes on different reeds. He was excited at the beginning, but later he felt a little numb. After all, his hands were very cold. He put them to his mouth from time to time, took a few breaths, and when his fingers were warm, he continued to pick up the fish.

"Almost. This time the harvest is good."

Zhang Xiaoyan didn't know how many times she had repeated this. She looked at the time and saw that she had been fishing for almost two hours. She turned around and saw that Yan Fugui was no longer picking up fish. He was rubbing his hands vigorously and breathing out of his mouth. It was obvious that he was very cold.

"Uncle, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but are you stupid? Why don't you just light a fire nearby? Are you afraid of a fire in such a cold day?"

"Xiao Zhang, you are really awesome, but how are we going to get so many fish back?"

Yan Fugui ignored the other party's teasing. Didn't he want to warm himself by the fire? The key point was that he didn't bring any matches! Who would have thought that such a simple method would yield such a great harvest?

Looking at the five strings of fish he had just strung together, the three large piles of fish, and the fish in the last net bag still scattered on the ice, Yan Fugui was happy and speechless.

"The more you catch, the more fish you have. You forget about it because you are so excited. It's not far from home anyway. Why don't you ride your bike back to get two big sacks to put the fish in? I'll wait for you here."

"Okay then! I just happen to have a few sacks at home. I'll go get them right away. You better keep the fish safe and don't let others take advantage of it."

Yan Fugui said with some concern,

"Okay, hurry up and go! You don't know my strength yet. Whoever wants to steal my fish will be in trouble."

Yan Fugui thought about it and it made sense. They had been fishing there for such a long time without stopping. If it were anyone else, they would have been exhausted long ago. It would be better for him to run faster and get the fish back.

Thinking of this, he stopped talking nonsense, rubbed his hands and ran to the place where he had hidden the bicycle, picked up the bicycle and pushed it back. It was not that he didn't want to ride it, but this place was too remote and it was impossible to ride a bicycle. The only way to ride a bicycle was to leave here and walk to the main road.

After Zhang Xiaoyan saw everyone leave, she quickly entered the space and used her mind to make the ground sink, making the soft soil firm so that water would not seep in. Soon, a big pit was made.
