Chapter 180 Can this be caught?
Du Ruo was still the main focus of lunch, and he really ate fish as his meal. While eating, Du Ruo said that it was a pity that Yaya was not there.
Then he took out his phone and made a video call to Yaya.
Today’s watches are really amazing, with a full range of functions, whether it’s making calls or watching videos.
Finally, when Yaya's saliva was flowing onto her phone watch, Du Ruo hung up the video.
"You, really are..."
Xiang Yuanyuan used chopsticks to peel off the entire skin of a fish, and then handed it to Du Ruo on a plate, unable to help but say something with amusement.
Du Ruo is really good to Yaya and almost always meets her requests, but it is also really infuriating. For example, in the situation just now, he knew that Yaya liked to eat fish, but he still teased her on purpose.
However, Xiang Yuanyuan also took out his mobile phone and made a note: "I must buy some sea fish for Yaya before I go back."
After lunch, the wind started to get stronger and the waves became noticeably bigger. Xiang Yuanyuan no longer had the idea of going into the water. The two of them came to the beach, and Du Ruo decided to go into the sea again. He had gained a lot of insights and gains in the morning.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you something."
As soon as he went out, Du Ruo looked at Xiang Yuanyuan, thought for a while, and quickly walked towards Li Fusheng's house.
After a while, Du Ruo came back with a fishing bag in her hand. Inside the bag were some fishing rods of Li Fusheng. Du Ruo saw these when she went to deliver fish to Li Fusheng today. She took them and gave them to Xiang Yuanyuan to play with.
"Is this for me? But I don't know how to fish."
Xiang Yuanyuan looked at the fishing bag in Du Ruo's hand and was eager to try it, but was afraid that she would not be able to use it well.
"It's okay. I'll teach you. After I've taught you, I'll go in the water."
Du Ruo smiled. He couldn't bear to see Yuanyuan waiting there in boredom.
After arriving at the beach, Du Ruo taught Xiang Yuanyuan how to fish. Anyway, he was just trying to kill time for her, so he didn't teach her any complicated methods. She just used a sea rod to fish at the bottom, and the bait was the meat of conchs attached to the reefs. No one wanted Xiang Yuanyuan to go far to fish, so she just fished near the reefs.
Bottom fishing with a sea rod is quite simple. After Du Ruo explained the general situations that might be encountered and the corresponding methods of dealing with them to Xiang Yuanyuan, he repeatedly told her to pay attention to safety and then let her go and have fun by herself.
Du Ruo didn't go anywhere else, but stayed under the original reef.
It was calm yesterday, with only a light breeze in the morning. By the afternoon, waves nearly one meter high had already been rising on the reefs. Occasionally, there would be a big wave that would hit the reefs and splash quite a bit of water.
However, these had little impact on Du Ruo. When he went into the water, the bottom of the water was still relatively calm.
The small fish that Du Ruo didn't want floating on the sea in the morning had completely disappeared. Instead, new schools of fish had moved into the crevices of the various reefs on the seabed that had been cleaned up by Du Ruo at one time. These fish were even much bigger.
Du Ruo dived into the seabed. This time he did not think of practicing Tai Chi on the seabed as he did in the morning, and then using Tai Chi to create a whirlpool. Instead, he began to use Tai Chi power in a more refined way.
However, before practicing Tai Chi, Du Ruo still had one thing to do. Du Ruo looked around at the bottom of the sea and saw an ugly sea fish. He waved his arm and a stream of water, under the control of Du Ruo's strength, rolled towards the fish. Du Ruo's wave was neither light nor heavy, and it did not kill the fish, but only slightly restricted its movement.
Du Ruo reached out and grabbed the fish, then swam towards the place where Xiang Yuanyuan cast the rod according to his memory.
He found the fishing hook that Xiang Yuanyuan had thrown down, hung the ugly fish weighing about half a pound in his hand on the hook, then swam back under the reef and started practicing boxing.
After the morning practice, Du Ruo has gained a deeper understanding of Tai Chi, and now he has to apply this understanding to actual practice.
Standing in place, Du Ruo felt the force of the water flowing around him.
The undercurrents brought by the waves, after passing through the nearby reefs, and even the big fish swimming around, would flow through the water to Du Ruo's body.
When Du Ruo stood in the water, the first step he had to do was to "listen", that is, to feel the force coming. The feeling in the water was far more intuitive than on the shore, and it sounded effortless.
It's just that because the body is completely covered, it is not easy to perceive accurately, and Du Ruo has to do more than just perception. The force is transmitted to the body and then perceived. This is called "touch" rather than "hearing". The cicadas feel the coming of autumn before the wind blows, which is called "hearing".
The second step is to transform. There are several types of transformation. Receive the force, transfer it, and then hit it out. This is called transformation, which is abbreviated as "receive, transform, and release".
There is also a force before the force comes, to disperse the incoming force, which is also called "hua", or "four ounces to move a thousand pounds" for short.
Of course there are more subdivisions, but generally speaking, they can be summarized into these two types.
Listening is not difficult to accomplish. Du Ruo has a high level of spiritual perception. When he concentrates, especially in the water, it is not difficult for him to sense the coming of autumn before the cicada arrives.
So soon Du Ruo closed his eyes and felt the strength in the water. He first used his hands or feet to exert force, and then slowly twisted his body to relieve the force.
At the same time, while experiencing the Tai Chi power, Du Ruo's understanding of water began to deepen.
Unconsciously, the "Three Flowers and Five Qi" attribute in Du Ruo's panel jumped and increased by one percentage point. Of course, Du Ruo would not forget to give Xiang Yuanyuan a surprise occasionally.
Sometimes it was a grouper, sometimes a sea bream, and Du Ruo even hung a big octopus or a lobster out of mischievous fun. Anyway, he felt that Xiang Yuanyuan didn't know how to fish, so he just did it for fun and enjoyed the pleasure.
……
"Beauty, you are fishing alone, have you caught any fish?"
Xiang Yuanyuan was fishing on the shore when two fishermen came over. They were not very old, around 30 years old, riding an electric scooter. They were probably not from the village. When they saw Xiang Yuanyuan holding a fishing rod, they couldn't help but come over and ask.
Fishermen generally don't have any bad intentions. When they see Xiang Yuanyuan is beautiful and alone at the beach, they won't have any bad thoughts. They only have fish in their eyes. However, it would be nice if they could catch a few more fish and show off in front of the beautiful woman.
Of course, if they can catch a big fish weighing dozens of kilograms, the beauty is not so important. They can carry the fish and don’t need an electric car. They can walk back to their village from here, even if it takes several hours to walk back and forth.
There is no way to compare the pleasure of catching a big fish with a beautiful woman. They are too lazy to even play with their own wives who cost them tens of thousands of dollars, let alone the women outside.
"Fortunately, we caught a few."
Xiang Yuanyuan just smiled and was not worried. Even though Du Ruo was at the bottom of the sea, she knew that as long as she was in danger, Du Ruo would definitely save her the first time.
"Wow, this is such a big stone nine-gong, it must be more than one kilogram, and there is also a grouper, it's really carved, not bad."
The two young men looked at each other with joy in their eyes. It is actually very good to fish before a typhoon comes, and many big fish will come to the beach to hide. However, this opportunity is actually very difficult to grasp. If a typhoon is approaching and the air pressure is low, the fish will basically not bite.
Now that they saw that Xiang Yuanyuan could catch fish, they knew that there must be a fish bite, so without any further ado, they took out their equipment and started fishing.
It’s just that the place they chose happened to be the area where Du Ruo was.
Xiang Yuanyuan watched them fishing, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it. In the end, because she was not familiar with them, Xiang Yuanyuan closed her mouth, thinking that if the two of them couldn't catch any fish, they would probably change positions.
He didn't believe that if Du Ruo practiced martial arts underwater, there would be fish taking the bait.
For the next period of time, the two men's sea fishing was quiet.
"Tsk, tsk, what good luck, we caught such a big grouper."
The two men held the fishing rods and watched Xiang Yuanyuan beside them fishing without any skills. They lifted the rod suddenly, and then a grouper weighing about three pounds was caught. The grouper didn't seem to struggle much and only jumped a few times after being caught.
"Is that a giant octopus? Can you catch that?"
"What the hell is this? A giant lobster? Are you kidding me?"
The two young men whispered again, which gradually turned into various exclamations.
Xiang Yuanyuan's fishing was completely irrational. The snail meat on the hook was like a magic weapon. He could catch a fish every twenty minutes or half an hour. He even caught big lobsters and octopuses, which were impossible to catch with snail meat.
The two of them went from increasing in anxiety to becoming numb and finally to being expressionless.
At the same time, the baits and fishing rods in my hands began to change. Snail meat, fish meat, and bait were all used. Finally, I simply stopped fishing at the bottom and started using lures and various fake baits and sequins.
"Wow~ there's a big fish, I'm not fishing at the bottom, it's a really big fish~ grass~ the line is cut..."
"Next, this must be a big fish. You also use lures, and the big fish is still here~ It's biting the hook... Damn~ Cut the line again, change to a thicker line, I don't believe it..."
……
"Who is this? Can I still practice properly?"
Du Ruo looked at the several lures on his shorts and couldn't help but frowning. There were plastic spiders, green fish, and iron plate sequins. If he hung them down again, his shorts would be caught away.
Every time Du Ruo cut the line, the fisherman on the shore would quickly hook his pants again, forcing him to stop.
However, looking at the growth of the "Three Flowers and Five Qi" progress bar on the panel, Du Ruo couldn't help laughing. At the same time, he also realized the improvement of the true meaning in the water. Perhaps he could take a step further in defense.
But just when Du Ruo was happy, a hook caught his pants, which made Du Ruo couldn't help but curl his lips. He grabbed the fishing line expressionlessly, then took the sequins off his pants and swam to the side.
Du Ruo was only wearing a pair of shorts, otherwise, seeing that the other party was so persistent, he would have taken off his shorts and let the other party fish it out to give the other party a surprise.
He knew that Xiang Yuanyuan was still fishing at the same place, and it was obvious that the person fishing with the lure must be an outsider. Du Ruo decided to keep a low profile, dive ashore from a distance, and then go to find Xiang Yuanyuan from the shore.
