Chapter 05: This is how the octopus is tied

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Indeed, schools of fish are hidden within the murky sea water

Thud

Because the large yellow croaker prefers to live in groups, this particular group consists of a considerable number of fish, and their escape speed is relatively slow. Zhang Zhun struck four times in succession, each time hitting his target. However, he felt that his speed was still slower than before. There was no way around it; after spending so long in the detention center, even an iron man would turn into noodles. Fortunately, he had crossed over into the body of a simpleton; if he had crossed over into the body of a rat, he wouldn't have been able to guarantee hitting four times.

The rat exclaimed joyfully: "Good!"

Thud

Zhang Zhun carried a long spear and walked in front

Zhang Zhun suddenly said: "It is right here."

This large hole was precisely created by the tip of a gun

Four large fish again

Bang!

The school of fish hidden beneath the water was startled and began to flee outward

There is one more!

Zhang Jun immediately raised his spear and thrust it down swiftly

The three young men nearby looked over with envy and astonishment, gazing at the large fish held up by the fisherman, their eyes glinting with a hint of greed.

The fierce waves continuously ripple, the sea surges in waves, constantly flowing into the hollow rocks below, producing a dull sound reminiscent of frog croaks. Soon after, the ever-moving seawater exhibits subtle changes, as if something is emerging from below.

A large yellow croaker fell into the crevice beside it, blood splattering everywhere

Bang!

Water splashes everywhere

Such a beach, such sunshine, such seawater, such blue skies, such sea breezes, such scenery, would undoubtedly be a top-tier vacation destination in future generations. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people living here must toil for their daily meals, enduring cold and hunger, and have no time to appreciate such beauty.

They witnessed every movement of Zhang Zhun, yet they could hardly believe that such a sudden thrust could impale the fish. Isn't this a bit too miraculous? After all, the fish swims in the seawater! The movements of fish in the water are far more agile than those of humans!

The rat clearly had poor skills in fishing and said with a hint of skepticism, "Is it really true?"

If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I could hardly believe it

Red Stone Beach is located at the angle between the Yellow Sea and Mawaan, stretching for dozens of miles. In many places, the terrain is uneven with stones of various shapes and sizes, sculpted by the relentless crashing of the waves. Some resemble strange and eerie creatures, while others appear like monstrous beasts. The sea water crashes against the stones, producing a continuous roar. Beneath many of the stones, the waves have hollowed out spaces, where groups of fish hide.

Equally stunned were the three young individuals who followed to see what was happening

The two individuals quickly arrived at the beach

Zhang Zhun nodded confidently

The level has declined

Just as the moment arrived, Zhang Zhun focused his mind and energy, thrusting the spear downward, then pulling it up and swinging it again

He even had to prepare fishing nets, bait, and so on. In the end, after all that effort, he didn't catch a single fish, no wonder he was ridiculed by Yang Yinghan

Soon, Zhang Zhun found a small bay again

The weapon is also unwieldy, being too heavy and too long, which affects the speed of drawing it. Next time, I will just use a bamboo spear.

The Redstone Beach is ahead

The rat was dumbfounded for a while before it could hardly process the reaction to the news from https://www.hetushu.com.com. In a hurry, it pulled out a few weeds and strung together the gills of the three fish. With a strong tug, each fish weighed at least 5 pounds, and together, the three fish probably weighed around 16 to 17 pounds. For their family, this was a top-notch feast. ... One could be fried, one could be stewed, and one could be steamed ... The rat was practically drooling.

The rat carried the fish in both hands, scampering along behind.

Upon closer inspection of these three large yellow croakers, it is evident that they have ceased to breathe. One of the fish has a large wound on its back, from which blood is gushing out.

It is still the old rule

Wow

The rat immediately dropped the stone.

A large yellow croaker was thrown onto the nearby beach

The rat's mind is consumed by only this one thought

Two people are jumping on the rocks, searching for areas with fish.

The seawater is exceptionally clear, free from any pollution, and there are no floating debris in sight. Gazing out at the ocean, one is met with a vast expanse of azure. The horizon where the sea meets the sky is a harmonious blend of blue waters and blue skies, creating a scene reminiscent of a paradise on earth. Occasionally, one can spot one or two fishing boats gliding through the azure sea and sky, their white sails swaying gently between the blue waters and the blue sky, as if ethereal spirits from a celestial realm have descended to the human world

Another one!

It can only be said that it is truly remarkable

This is also a characteristic of spear fishing. The movement patterns of larger fish are relatively obvious, and the splashes are easy to distinguish, while the targets are large, increasing the chances of a successful catch. Unfortunately, the schools of fish consist mainly of large yellow croakers, which typically weigh only seven to eight pounds. In contrast, in rivers and lakes, grass carp and silver carp weighing twenty to thirty pounds are quite common. On one occasion, Zhang Zhun participated in a joint exercise near the Yangtze River with other units and personally speared a silver carp weighing over forty pounds, nearly one meter long, earning the admiration of the other units.

The rat said that there are the most fish over at Red Stone Beach, so the two of them went to Red Stone Beach

Fishing, is it really that simple

While he was still in the army, several companies often held such fish spearing competitions. He could spear six fish in one minute, and his worst performance was still five fish. Now, he has only three. In the words of the brigade commander, he has seen disgraceful moments, but never anything this disgraceful. Fortunately, the brigade commander did not come over; otherwise, he would truly have no face to show to anyone.

Another one

The rat followed behind, its small eyes spinning around, unable to determine where the fish might be.

The rat bent down to pick up a stone and said, still half in doubt: "Smash?"

A stone fell, startling the school of fish, which began to dart away.

Having been detained in the detention center for a full three years, all skills have become rusty, including the ability to catch fish.

The rat puffed out its chest and replied proudly, "Of course! Also, please call me Yulin! Don't call me Erleng! His fishing skills are something you all can't even begin to match!"

Another one

The rat swiftly threw down a stone.

The two individuals left the shantytown and headed directly towards the seaside

By the time the mouse realized, three large yellow croakers had already appeared in the crevices of the rocks

Someone asked in confusion: "Is that your family's silly one, Mouse?"

Bang!

Zhang Zhun nodded and affirmed, "Smash!"

The fish blood continuously drips down, leaving mottled spots on the rocks it passes over

The large yellow croaker swims underwater, while Zhang Zhun aims his gun at the surface and surprisingly manages to hit it with a single shot

The area of Redstone Beach is quite large, and the two groups did not encounter each other

The beaches of later generations, along with the pictures and books, are always crowded with people, bustling and jostling. Yet at this moment, no one can be seen. The empty beach appears as if it has been abandoned. The waves surge onto the shore in rhythmic motions, producing a sound like crashing water. The afternoon sunlight bathes the beach, creating a warm and gentle atmosphere. The sea breeze is also very mild, intertwining to form a deep sense of comfort.

The three individuals exchanged doubtful glances at each other and quietly followed behind the rat, eager to uncover the truth.

Dozens of fishing rods were densely placed on the rocks, yet there was no one to guard them, truly reminiscent of Jiang Taigong fishing, where those willing to bite the hook are welcome. In such an environment, the most effective method would certainly be a fishing net. Unfortunately, fishing nets are still quite expensive, and only professional fishermen would be willing to use them. The impoverished military households could barely afford to feed themselves, so they would naturally not consider acquiring fishing nets

So amazing

In a previous life, I spent ten years in the Marine Corps. While I cannot claim to be exceptionally skilled in many areas, my ability to find fish is second to none. During training, we were often dropped onto a deserted island with nothing but our wits, not even a knife, and had to survive for three months. If we made it through, it counted as passing the assessment. If we couldn't endure, it was not a problem; we could signal for help, and a helicopter would come to retrieve us. However, once we were brought back, our assessment score would be zero. Therefore, no soldier would easily give up. If we couldn't endure, it was not a problem; we could signal for help, and a helicopter would come to retrieve us. However, once we were brought back, our assessment score would be zero. Therefore, no soldier would easily give up.

These fishing rods are purely a matter of luck. The seawater is inherently salty, and the flavor of the bait will significantly dilute in the seawater, making it less sensitive to ordinary fish. If fish do happen to bite under such circumstances, it would truly be a blessing from the ancestors

Geographically, Yangjiatun is located to the southwest of Fushan City, approximately 22 li (11 kilometers) away from it, and less than 3 li from the beach. To the north of Yangjiatun is Renjiatun, to the south lies the Yellow Sea, and to the west is Mawaan (i.e., Jiaozhou Bay)

Yangjiatun is not located within Fushan City; only Suolitun is. The members of Suolitun consist of Qianhu, Deputy Qianhu, Baihu, Trial Baihu, Zongqi, and Xiaoqi, in short, only those who hold official positions in Fushan are qualified to reside in the city. Other ordinary military households live in various places outside the city and will not enter Fushan City unless necessary

The rat has once again become frozen in place

To survive on a deserted island, both food and fresh water are essential. Fresh water can be obtained by digging a pit for filtration, which is simple. The primary source of food, of course, is the sea. The ocean is teeming with fish, which are both nutritious and hygienic, and the taste of fresh fish is quite good. After several experiences of surviving on a deserted island, one learns that different water bodies may yield different types of fish, and the experts in the Marine Corps possess keen insight.

Zhang Zhun gently shook his head and let out a slight sigh

The originally clear seawater suddenly became somewhat murky

Zhang Zhun also noticed that not far away, there were several young people jumping around on the rocks, seemingly searching for a place to take action. They should also be disciples of the military households from Yangjiatun. Some held fishing nets, some held harpoons, and others held stones, all of which were the most primitive tools.

The rat had not yet reacted when Zhang Zhun's spear thrust downwards, lifted, and then swung.

Bang!

Another large yellow croaker has fallen into the crevice, with blood droplets splattering chaotically.

Bang!

Waves splash and the sea surges

Bang

Bang!

Zhang Zhuncai made a move once, feeling unsatisfied, and said with lingering interest: "Let's find another place and do a bit more."
