Fishing the Heavens - Chapter 2

[Chapter 2 Golden Silk Eel!]

The slightly dilapidated house was like a bleak old man in the wind, lingering on, and the tiles in some places had fallen.

It is very doubtful that this house will collapse in the next instant.

But Beifeng knew that this house was like this when he was very young. The only difference was that people lived there and the tiles were intact.

“Squeak!”

Beifeng took out the key, opened the somewhat rusted lock, and pushed open the vermilion door that was heavily painted.

The paint color of the door has almost faded, and because the door has been in disrepair for a long time, there is a decaying sound when it is pushed open.

After entering the house, a flowerbed appeared in front of me, but it was overgrown with weeds because it was unattended. On the contrary, a few wild tea trees were growing well, and a huge banyan tree stood in the middle of the flowerbed.

The trunk of the tree is thick enough for three people to hug, but hundreds of years later, the branches and leaves are still lush, casting a large shadow in the yard.

There is a stone table and a few stone benches under the banyan tree, and you can spend the afternoon with a pot of good tea after a meal in the hot summer.

Beifeng carefully looked at everything in the yard, no matter what it was, even if it was just a weed, Beifeng felt a sense of intimacy.

Pushing open the dusty door, a smoky and musty smell wafted out.

The furniture in the room is covered with white film, but the top is still covered with dust.

Beifeng put down the suitcase in his hand and started to get busy.

When I came to the storage room, it was full of debris, including stone mills, hoes, and the racks that used to be worn on the cows for ploughing the fields.

Beifeng came out with a small black bucket, the bucket was not big, and it only weighed twenty or thirty pounds when full of water.

A rope was tied to the bucket and linked to a bamboo pole.

I came to the flowerbed in the yard, where there were two thin bluestone slabs.

Beifeng put the bucket down, pushed the bluestone slab away with a little force, and several centipede-like arthropods fled in fright.

Beifeng is not afraid at all, although these bugs look scary, it is easy to think of the poison of centipedes, but in fact it is non-toxic.

A hexagonal ancient well revealed its true colors, about one meter five in width, and was supported by a stone bar inside.

The water in the well is clear and translucent, and it is dark and dark further down. I don’t know how deep the well is. At this time, the water surface in the well is only about two meters away from the wellhead.

The water in this well is very cold and delicious. At least the north wind has traveled so many places in recent years, and there is no better water than here.

“Huh? What is this?”

Bei Feng was stunned for a moment. At the surface of the well, a golden head the size of a baby’s fist slowly retracted into the gap between the stone bars.

Bei Feng was a little surprised, there are still living things in this well?

Bei Feng was interested, and instead of throwing the bucket down to fetch water, he quietly looked at the water surface.

But there was no movement in the well for a long time, and the creature did not show any traces.

Bei Feng thought about it for a second, caught a centipede-like arthropod and threw it into the well.

After being thrown down, he struggled hard on the water.

It just likes a dark and humid environment, it doesn’t mean it can’t drown.

After struggling for a long time, it still did not work, and slowly began to sink.

A golden head the size of a baby’s fist stretched out from the gap between the stone bars, and then it was as fast as lightning, leaning out and swallowing the sinking arthropod.

Finally, it slowly retracted into the gap between the stone bars, leaving only the water surface shaking endlessly.

“Golden blood eel!”

Although it was only for a moment, Beifeng still saw the true face of the creature and exclaimed.

My house is located at the foot of the mountain, and there is no field. How did this golden eel get into the well?

The golden-haired eel and the yellow eel are of the same kind, but they are a different species of the yellow eel. They are golden and have blood-colored lines on their backs.

The flesh and blood of the golden eel is very useful to the human body, especially for men.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this golden eel was a tribute to the royal family. Ordinary people would be beheaded if they caught and eaten it privately.

After the establishment of Huaguo, the golden eel is even more famous in the world, and the price is as high as five or six hundred yuan per catty!

At that time, the people of Qingling Village made a lot of money, and if they had no money, they could catch a few catties just by going to the fields.

It’s a pity that the good times didn’t last long. Under such an unrestrained pursuit, the golden blood eel was completely captured.

The last time the golden blood eel appeared was more than ten years ago. At that time, the golden blood eel was only three taels, but it sold for a high price of 8,000 yuan!

And now more than ten years have passed, and now this golden eel weighs at least a pound!

Not to mention, you can buy two or three thousand!

Beifeng was moved, and tens of thousands of yuan was a huge sum of money for himself now.

I didn’t care about cleaning the house at the moment, just walked away quickly and rummaged in the storage room.

“I found it, but I didn’t expect it to still work after so many years.”

Beifeng found a bamboo pole about three meters long, and a bright red fishing line was tied to the head of the bamboo pole.

Walking out of the house, Beifeng found two earthworms in the flowerbed, put them on the hook, and ran to the ancient well excitedly.

He directly threw the hook with the earthworm hanging beside the cave of the golden eel, and the fat earthworm kept twisting its body.

The golden eel naturally sensed it, and slowly stuck out a head, observed it for a few seconds, and then swallowed the earthworm in one bite.

“Hooked!”

Beifeng felt a strong force coming, and then he lifted the fishing rod without hesitation, but he couldn’t let the golden eel get into the hole, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to catch it.

The golden-haired eel struggled hard, trying to drill into the hole, but in terms of strength, the North Wind was even better!

After struggling for a while, the golden eel was lifted up by the north wind.

“Don’t get off the hook!”

Beifeng prayed silently. It was easy for him to break free when he was in mid-air. Once he was freed, it was only up to God to see if he could catch it again.

Fortunately, the situation that Beifeng was worried about did not appear, and the golden eel was pulled out of the well.

Beifeng found that he still underestimated the weight of the golden blood eel. This golden blood eel was about one meter and two long, and a thick blood-colored pattern ran through the whole body!

Beifeng grabbed the golden eel struggling on the ground and was about to take out the hook.

Otherwise, the dead golden eel is worthless, the hook is not deep, and it only penetrates through the gill of the golden eel.

Beifeng grabbed the head of the golden eel with one hand and took the hook with the other.

It took a long time to take the hook, because there are barbs, and the golden eel does not cooperate.

“what!”

Beifeng let out a pained cry.

But when the hook was taken out, the golden eel suddenly twisted and struggled, and the hook stabbed into Bei Feng’s finger.

“Fortunately, the barb was not stabbed in, otherwise it would be troublesome.”

Bai Feng unplugged the hook, thinking with some luck.

There was also a drop of bright red blood on the tip of the finger, and when Bai Feng swung his hand, the blood beads flew out and dripped on the mouth of the ancient well.
