Chapter 23 Father and Son Fishing
Story
Lin An lost his memory. To be precise, he lost all memories about that battle.
Thinking of her delirious appearance at that time, Lao Lin discussed it with Mother Lin and didn't bring it up again.
Mother Lin fed her a bowl of white porridge and softly comforted her for a while. Although she still had doubts, Lin An couldn't resist the tremendous fatigue and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
In that battle, her body was overused. Although she didn't know why, it was obviously not something she could bear. Now that she is paralyzed and unable to move, she is probably affected by this.
After she went to bed, Mother Lin gave her the little yellow charm for half an hour as usual. She didn't know if it was useful, but she still insisted on doing it every day.
Lin An fell into coma again, and the atmosphere at home also fell into a downturn.
Lao Lin looked at his son, who had been silent for the past two days. Lin An was injured, and everyone blamed themselves. However, the psychological burden on this kid who had always been careless seemed to be too heavy.
Lao Lin sat down on the sofa and asked Lin Yu with a smile, "Son, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Yu raised his eyelids, glanced at him gently and shook his head, "It's nothing. I'm tired. Let's take a rest."
After saying that, he spread his slender arms, lay back on the sofa, and stared at the light spots on the ceiling in trance.
"I think you are bored. The weather outside is so nice. How about you go fishing with me?"
fishing?
Lin Yu withdrew his blank gaze and looked at Lao Lin. It didn't look like he was joking, but going fishing at this time?
"Let's take a walk. It's okay to stay at home anyway. Why don't we go out and get some fish and bring it back to add some food. An'an likes to eat fish. Let's get some fish back and make her some soup."
After hearing what he said, Lin Yu sat up straight. Although he didn't say yes, he obviously agreed to go out.
Old Lin went to Lin An's room and told Lizhen that Lin's mother was not worried about them going out at first, but she didn't know what Old Lin said, so she nodded and agreed, but told him to go early and come back early, and that he must be back within two hours.
.
Soon Lao Lin packed up his usual fishing gear and took the unhappy Lin Yu out.
The place we went to this time was by the pond where we caught the piglets before. Old Lin had seen it before and there were indeed fish in that pond.
They have walked this road several times, but the two fathers and sons are still very cautious, taking their time along the way and keeping vigilance at all times.
When I saw the messy land again, the dead bristle pig had begun to rot, and I could smell a stench from a distance.
Lao Lin did not go there, but went around in a circle. With his many years of fishing experience, he found a hidden bush near the pond and quietly nestled behind the bush.
During this period, he scanned the pond and didn't see the group of piglets. The place was ruined like this and he didn't know if they would come back again.
Just as he squatted down in the grass, Lao Lin was still preparing fishing bait. Lin Yu next to him suddenly poked him with his arm, "Dad, look over there."
Lin Yu pointed to the dead pig, diagonally in front of them. The pig was rotten and bloated, its intestines were rotten, and a dark red fishy liquid was leaking out. It looked very disgusting.
"Look at its head—"
After he said this, Lao Lin discovered that under the water, all that was left of the fat pig's head was a white pig skull.
At first, Lao Lin suspected that the water in the pond was corrosive, until he saw the whitebait leaping up from the water, tearing off a large piece of flesh in one gulp, and then sank into the water again.
What a cruel fish——!!
Lao Lin was stunned for a moment and asked in shock, "Could this be a piranha?"
In order to test his guess, Lao Lin sprinkled a large amount of the high-quality bait he brought into the water. After a while, the water surface was as calm as stagnant water, without any ripples.
High-quality bait - not to the taste of this fish...
Lin Yu, who was on the side, stood up with the boning knife he brought out, "Dad, I'll go over there and have a look. I'll be back soon."
Old Lin was still asking him why he was there, but Lin Yu was already leaning forward and quickly touched it.
The closer he got, the stronger the smell of dead pigs became, almost nauseating. Lin Yu used a knife to pick up a piece of blackened pig intestine that fell out, and threw it into the water with his hand.
A few seconds later, the water rippled and the white scales kept moving in and out of the water.
The fish that smelled the fishy smell were like locusts coming on the wind, biting into the pig intestine until no residue was left.
Old Lin on the other side also saw the movement in the water and was greatly disappointed. This thing was really a piranha! Then their trip today was in vain.
Just as he was about to pack his things and go home, he saw Lin Yu chop off a large piece of dark red and purple pig leg and run back carrying the smelly meat.
"Why are you bringing this back?" Old Lin looked at the rotten pork dripping with blood in his hand with disgust.
Lin Yu himself was disgusted and raised his arms far away, "Fishing, this thing must be particularly good at fishing."
Lao Lin looked at his son who took it for granted. He didn't think there was anything wrong in saying this at all. But the key question is, even if it can be caught, can the fish be eaten? Do you dare to eat it?
However, thinking of his current embarrassing situation, Lao Lin felt a little entangled and repulsed in his heart, and he quickly gave in without persisting for a few seconds.
There is a shortage of food at home. As long as you can eat everything you can, everything can be used as food reserve. No matter what, it is better than drinking tap water one day.
Because of the rot, the iron-hard pigskin was much easier to cut. Old Lin cut off a piece of rotten pork the size of a fist and hung it on his expensive hook.
As soon as the fishhook hit the water, it kept being pulled. This was the first time since Lao Lin joined the fishing world that he was so enthusiastically pursued by fish.
"Son, son, look, do you think dad is good at fishing? Hahahaha!"
Lin Yu looked at the group of piranhas jumping up and down around the meat in the water. This was not fishing. They were jumping more happily than dogs.
Looking at Lao Lin who was clearly enjoying it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.
——This is not because you are powerful, this is obviously because fish is powerful, okay...
Lin Yu chuckled twice and said perfunctorily, "Awesome, quite awesome. You are like the reincarnation of Jiang Ziya, the rebirth of Neptune, and Aladdin's magic lamp can't help but light up for you."
Feeling the fish's full enthusiasm, Lao Lin pulled the boom hard, and several piranhas biting on pieces of meat were thrown ashore neatly.
The white piranha is rolling on the ground, its tough tail is flapping hard, and its two rows of sharp teeth are like saw teeth. If it is bitten, it will never let go until a large piece of meat is torn off.
Lin Yu did not pick it up with his hands. Instead, he pressed the body of the fish with his knife and chopped off the head. The head was thrown into the water, and the twisted body was thrown into the bucket he brought.
Even though the body and head were separated, the fish was as powerful as if it was equipped with an electric motor. Half of its body twisted in the bucket for a while before it calmed down.
Lao Lin was swinging the pole very freely there. He could hit four or five poles every minute. The sense of accomplishment brought by the big harvest made him finally realize what real happiness is today!
Within half an hour, a stinky pig's knuckle was replaced by a bucket full of fish, and this was with half of the fish head removed.
"Okay, this is enough for us to eat for a while."
Lao Lin put away the rod and walked back with the equipment on his shoulder with satisfaction. The fish here are very active. You don't have to go to such trouble next time. Just bring a fishing rod and you don't need to bring any bait.
Mother Lin, who was waiting at home, was startled when she heard the sound of opening the door. Why did she come back so quickly? Something must have happened.
I hurriedly ran out and saw the bucket of fish in the living room that was almost overflowing. I was instantly shocked!
"Why are there so many fish? Are you two going into the water to catch them?"
But seeing that both of them were clean, with no water stains, but a strange smell, I couldn't help but become even more confused.
After all, she knew Lao Lin's skills. If she could catch five fish at a time, it would be considered a success.
Old Lin, who took the initiative to carry the bucket to the balcony to clean up, raised his eyebrows indifferently, "You're looking down on people, aren't you? I caught them all by myself. My skills are specialized in treating the fish here, and I can catch every fish accurately."
Lin Yu, who went to the kitchen to wash his hands, did not comment on this. Men, he knows, who has not fantasized about his awesome little hobby.
After washing off the fishy smell on his hands, Lin Yu felt much better and went to the room to see Lin An. It was time to wake up after sleeping for so long.
