Black Pool
What was in the Black Pool? There are four possibilities: a big fish, an anaconda, an unknown water creature, or a water monster. But no matter which one it was, it was definitely unusually large. Even the No. 10 wire could be easily cut off.
It seemed that he could only use the fishing method to capture this giant. Such a deep pool, it was impossible to fish it with a net. Of course, you could use a gun or a spear, but if it didn't show itself, you couldn't.
"If that thing is as big as you say, why bother fishing?”Xu Gang said," I think it's best to use explosives. If he threw a pile of explosives in, no matter what water monster or water ghost it was, it would explode!”
Everyone's eyes lit up. They all said that this was a method that could be tried. So he told the head of the migrant workers, Old Huang, to call a migrant worker with good blasting skills to blow up the explosives together.
They arrived at the Black Pool. The migrant workers wrapped the explosive detonator in mud and installed a long fuse. They asked everyone to stand further away, lit the fuse, and threw it into the pool.
Everyone was waiting excitedly. I was a little nervous. What was in the pool, perhaps it would be clear now.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, a steamed bun shaped water tip emerged from the pool. Everyone rushed to the edge of the pool and stared nervously at the surface of the water. A few catfish weighing one or two catties floated up from the water.
"Why aren't there any big guys?" Xu Gang looked at me and said," Is someone lying?”
"Look, look, what is that!”Duan Ming shouted.
The water in the pond surged, and something came up. Everyone looked at the huge wave in fear, and a few of them retreated timidly.
The surface of the pond splashed, revealing a one-meter-long gray-black back. Everyone cried out in alarm, but it immediately sank down, and the surface of the pool returned to its calm state. Everyone waited for it to get up again. However, after more than half an hour, there was still no movement on the surface of the pool. After waiting for a while, it was still the same. Everyone had to return to the bamboo shed.
"What exactly is that thing?" Chen Peng asked," Is it a big fish?"
After he asked, everyone realized that no one had seen it clearly. The pool was originally black and shiny, similar to the grayish-black back. No one could see what was in the water.
There were many different opinions, and they could not determine what kind of aquatic creature it was. However, most people said that it was definitely not a fish, but more like a legendary water monster.
Chen Peng said that it would come out after two more explosions. So he went to fry it twice more, but the second time he only fried a few small catfish, and the third time he didn't fry anything, so he had to give up.
Everyone had no choice but to slowly lose interest in the Black Pool. Regardless of whether it was a water monster or a demon, they would just let it stay in there.
However, I didn't give up. The huge gray and black back kept appearing in front of me. I decided to capture it. Capturing it is an extremely exciting thing, not to mention that there is such a big lump of meat.
The back is only that big. I estimate that the lower body is about 1.5 or 1.6 meters long. To catch such a huge thing, ordinary fishing lines would definitely not work. One had to make their own fishing gear. I dismantled a broken umbrella and used a coal lamp to heat the steel umbrella ribs, bending four or five big hooks. The fishing line was made of plastic and satin, which could be used to tie luggage. This line could lift things weighing more than 100 pounds. I tied five hooks and made a big explosive hook. He also tied a bamboo tube to the plastic line as a float. The fishing gear was made. Although it was very rough, as long as the bait was suitable, the monster would definitely bite the hook. The previous two times it had taken the bait, it had been an earthworm. This time, it was also an earthworm. The method was to smash the earthworm, mix it with flour, knead it into a ball, and press the five big hooks into it.
Everything is ready, I will call cousin and Luo Ruhui to go. The three of them were full of confidence as they tried to capture the monster in one fell swoop. However, after a few days, the bamboo tube floated on the surface of the water without moving.
"Eh, that's strange. Why isn't it biting the hook?”Cousin said.
I came to my senses." Yes, it was scared by the explosives and went into hiding. We'll come back in a few days, it'll have to look for food.”
A week later, the three of them went again. The weather was good during the day, and the sun was shining brightly. However, it still did not bite the hook. At dusk, the bamboo tube suddenly disappeared. My heart was pounding-it was finally here! However, I held the plastic rope and didn't move. I wanted it to eat deeper.
About 20 seconds later, the plastic rope was stretched taut. I pulled it hard, but it didn't move at all, as if it was hooked to a rock. However, a strong force almost pulled me into the water. I leaned back and pressed my feet against the rock, but I couldn't resist it. The plastic rope kept drilling into the water.
"Quick, quick, help me!" I shouted.
Luo Ruhui and my cousin were sitting under a banyan tree twenty meters away from me, enjoying the shade. At this time, they ran towards me in a panic. Luo Ruhui panicked and tripped over a sharp rock. He sat on the rock and cried out in pain. Cousin was very fierce, but it was fierce, and the monster was even more fierce. I couldn't resist it anymore, but I didn't let go…
Cousin was still a step away. When he was about two meters away from me, I was already pulled into the pool. With a " Pu Tong " sound, a big splash appeared.
Cousin and Luo Ruhui shouted from the shore,""Let go, let go! It's going to be pulled in!"
The pond water was cold. I was shocked and angry. I didn't expect this bastard to be so fierce that he could actually pull people into the pool! I got angry and my temper flared up. I relied on my good swimming skills and refused to let go. I wanted to fight it!
I kicked the water with all my might, but I couldn't resist its pulling force. The monster just kept drilling into the water. I had to keep putting the rope down, wanting it to drag the long rope and consume its strength. You're always tired, right? Let's see who's afraid of who.
However, things didn't go as I wished. The 40-meter-long rope quickly reached its end. The rope continued to fall, pulling me to the bottom of the pool! The bottom of the pool was even colder, and the surrounding water grass swayed like water snakes around me. The grass hole under my feet was dark. The monster was dragging me into a terrifying unknown abyss. In an instant, Little Enz's words, Cousin's bitten leg, and his huge back flashed through my mind. I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. I quickly let go of my hand and surfaced. In a few moments, I swam to the shore and climbed up.
When he turned around to look at the pool, the plastic rope was nowhere to be seen. The surface of the lake was dyed red by the setting sun, and the waves sparkled. It was a brilliant scene.
The three of them were dumbfounded. They stood by the pool for a while before returning to the company's bamboo shed dejectedly.
The next day, I went to take a look. A bamboo tube floated on the surface of the pond. I picked up the plastic rope. The rope had broken at the hook. I looked at it carefully and couldn't help but shiver. The fracture was uneven, obviously broken by teeth.
Looking at the rope, Luo Ruhui said,"Da Bao, I think it's fine. We can't afford to offend this monster!" If this continued, someone would die. If you wanted to eat its meat, it might eat you instead.”
"Yes, yes, Second Brother, we'd better not provoke it. I think that bastard is not a forgiving person. Maybe he really wants to drag us down and eat us!”
I didn't say anything, but my heart was not convinced. I don't believe I can't beat it! I sized up those big banyan trees and had an idea in my heart.
A few days later, I made a new umbrella hook. The hook was replaced with a wire to prevent it from biting off. Then, he went alone.
I threw the bait and tied the plastic rope firmly to the trunk of the big banyan tree. Practice proved that the hook and plastic rope were strong enough, but the key was that humans were not as strong as monsters. This is great. I'll give it my all if it pulled down the banyan tree!
I didn't see him bite the hook all day, and in the evening, I pulled the hook to change the bait and stared at the bamboo tube floating on the surface of the water. Not long after, the bamboo tube trembled a few times on the surface of the water and disappeared. I waited for a while, then pulled it hard. It was ignited! It was stunned for a moment before it immediately sank to the bottom of the pool, wanting to repeat its old trick. I pulled as I put the rope down. In a short while, the 40-meter-long rope was finished. I let go and let it compete with the big banyan tree.
The monster drew circles on the rope at the bottom of the water, and the branches and leaves of the big banyan tree trembled slightly! I was shocked. How could such a powerful person resist the enemy! The plastic rope kept drawing circles and was covered with water grass, stirring the waves on the surface of the pool. I pulled the taut rope with all my might, but it couldn't move at all.
This scene was a little terrifying, and my heart kept beating wildly. The rope had been moving for more than an hour. Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, I panicked. What should I do?
I can't subdue it alone. I'll go back and call for help.
He went back to the bamboo shed and called his cousin and Luo Ruhui. The three of them held flashlights, and Luo Ruhui even carried a Burmese knife, saying that if it bit people, he would cut it down. After Duan Ming knew about it, he also came, and he was thoughtful enough to bring a gas lamp.
When they reached the edge of the pool, they saw that the rope had stopped moving. Could it be that it was unhooked? He pulled the rope and it started moving again.
"How about it, Da Bao? How about we drag it up?”Duan Ming asked.
"No, it's still very energetic. Let's wait a little longer."
Duan Ming pulled the rope that was stretched taut.""Damn, I can't pull it at all. What kind of monster is this?"
"Da Bao, this is a good idea. Let it compete with the big tree. Exhausted! I think it's doomed this time. We're going to have monster meat to go with the wine!" Luo Ruhui said excitedly.
The rope suddenly loosened." Aiyo, did he unhook and run away?”I pulled the rope and pulled out a piece of it. I couldn't stop pulling. There was no weight at all. I was very annoyed.……”
" Aiyo, no, no, look at the water," Cousin shouted." It's coming up!”
A few flashlights shone on the surface of the pool. The surface of the pool was indeed surging. There was clearly a huge object coming up.
"Everyone, be careful!" Duan Ming shouted," Stay further away from the pool. Be careful that it doesn't attack people!”
Everyone retreated a few meters and looked at the surface of the pond in horror.
With a loud boom, a huge black shadow jumped out from the surface of the pond. Before anyone could see it clearly, it fell back with a bang, causing a big splash on the surface of the pool.
I watched in amazement as the rope plunged deeper into the water.”I cried out in surprise.
The rope fell on the banyan tree and circled around the water again and again…
After a while, the rope stopped moving. It felt pain and moved again.
"Good! He didn't give it any time to catch its breath, and he wanted to exhaust its strength to see how long it could last!”Duan Ming said.
After two hours of stalemate, the rope finally loosened. I pulled hard and actually managed to pull it a little, but it immediately pulled me back. After a while, I could finally hold it off, but it had no strength to pull back the rope. However, it was still very tiring to hold it off. The four of us used the wheel tactic to compete with it and pull it to the surface of the pool. Several times, he pulled it up a little, but he couldn't beat it and was pulled back.
After a while, the rope was slowly retracted. It was still spinning around in the pool, but it had no strength to go down.
It finally floated to the surface of the pool. We could see it in the torchlight. We exclaimed! It was gray with black stripes, about two meters long, with a big head and a thin tail. Its body was as thick as a bucket, and its head was more than 50 centimeters wide. Its wide, semi-circular mouth opened and closed on the surface of the water, and it had a long beard.
"It looks like a big catfish, not a monster!”I called out.
The few of them worked together to drag it to the shore. It rolled its belly on the surface of the water, its mouth opening and closing as it panted. Everyone pulled and lifted it, and finally, they brought it ashore. Look at the fishing hook, it had been swallowed deep into its throat, and the wire that was tied to the hook had been bitten until the copper wire was exposed.
We tied it up with a rope, cut two bamboo leaves and carried it back to the bamboo shed.
The giant catfish was placed on the kitchen floor, and everyone came to look.
"Ha, Da Bao, you're quite a man. You even lifted such a big thing up!”Qi Tonggao said.
Bi Min also squeezed into the crowd to watch. I looked at her, and she was looking at me. Their eyes met, but she avoided them and lowered her head.
Little You and Little Yin were extremely surprised. They looked at the fish and then at me.
"Aiya, Brother Li, you're really capable. Such a big fish can even swallow a person!”Little Yin said.
I was very proud. Looking at the catfish, it seemed to be staring at me with its small eyes full of hatred. I kicked its mouth with my right foot." Why? Are you not convinced? Ouch..."
The catfish suddenly bit my toe and I cried out in pain. He kicked its head with his left foot, but it refused to let go. Everyone was shocked and panicked. Little You cried out in shock, separating everyone and beating the fish head with her fists!
Qi Tonggao's reaction was extremely fast. He inserted his Burmese knife into the fish's mouth and forcefully pried it open. Only then did I retract my foot. Xiao You quickly helped me take off my leather shoes. My instep was already bleeding.
"Fortunately, I'm wearing leather shoes. Otherwise, I would have bitten it off!”Duan Ming said," I'll go find some gauze to wrap it up for you.”
"How should we deal with this guy?" Chen Peng asked," Raise them until tomorrow and kill them. There's meat to eat now!"
"You're out of your mind." Luo Ruhui said," With what? Was there such a big basin? I think it's better to chop it overnight, fry it in oil, or marinate it with salt; Otherwise, it wouldn't taste good tomorrow.”
Everyone agreed, so they cut the fish into large pieces and fried them until they were golden yellow. Then, he marinated a portion of it with salt and chili noodles and hung it under the eaves of the bamboo shed to dry, leaving it to go with the wine. Little You and Little Yin worked until midnight before resting.
