Honghu Village, Fenghuang Town, is located outside Xinwen City, just to the southeast, about 40 roads away, there are more than 20 families, about 100 people. The second household in the west of the village is the famous fish king Li Sanniu in the village.
The king of fish is Li Sanniu's nickname. The reason why he has such a nickname is not that he is the king of fish, but that he can catch fish, and he is good at fishing, which means that he is the king of fish.
There is also a legendary story about Li Sanniu's nickname of "King of Fish". To this day, people in the village still talk about it from time to time after tea and dinner.
It turned out that five years ago, Phoenix Town once held a fishing competition. Under the leadership of the government, 100 good fishermen from all over the town participated in the competition, and thousands of people watched. The prize money is very expensive, and the third place alone will have five taels of silver.
The rules of the fishing competition are also very simple, within four hours, in the five rivers of the town, any fishing, in addition to fish, shrimp, crabs, turtles, etc., as long as it is in the water, can be eaten, all counted. Of course, all participants must be bare-handed and cannot carry any fishing tools, but they can make their own tools.
Four hours had passed that day, the contest ended and the fish caught by each contestant began to be weighed.
More than half of the people caught only a few catties of fish, or even a few fish, and without fishing tools, they seemed to be able to catch fish with their bare hands, or make harpoons with sticks and spear fish in the river. There are also some people who are very smart, using the principle of flowing water, constantly picking up silt, making a small pond, driving all the fish into the fish pond, and catching dozens of catties of fish.
The third place caught 80 catties of fish, as well as some crabs and turtles. The second place caught a hundred catties of fish, a dozen old turtles, dozens of catties of crabs, and many small shrimps. And the first place is Li Sanniu, he caught more than 200 catties of fish, 17 old turtles, 40 or 50 catties of crabs, small shrimps, and a large number of river mussels and snails.
Li Sanniu fully observed the river and found that one of the five rivers had many fish, and the fish were all gathered in one place. He made a straw net, stopped one place, and caught all the fish. He also found some flowers, wild fruits, and lost some in all five rivers, so as to find the fish nest. In addition, he also used his unique skills to find a silt place and caught a large number of turtles, crabs, prawns, etc.
This unique stunt is still bought by someone for ten taels of silver, but Li Sanniu has not said it so far.
The most amazing thing is that Li Sanniu also caught many very small fish and shrimp. These small fish and shrimp, the locals love to eat very much, you can use them to fry them and eat them, you can also fry them directly, if you can't finish eating, you can also dry them and save them, in short, there are a lot of methods, and the taste is excellent. It's just that everyone doesn't know how to catch this kind of small fish and shrimp, so that the ** of local small fish and shrimp is extremely high.
Because of this, Li Sanniu won the first place in the competition and also got twenty taels of silver. In addition, half of the fish he caught became his reward. Since then, Li Sanniu has received the nickname of the King of Fish.
This competition can be said to have changed Li Sanniu's life.
Because in the future, Li Sanniu no longer worked in the fields, and he used the money to marry his wife. Every day, in addition to fishing, he went to teach people to find fish nests, make bait, fish, catch fish, and teach people how to make various fishing gear. He did this, and within a few years he made a fortune.
The king of fish has become a rich king, and the story of Li Sanniu is even more legendary.
However, it is also strange to say that since the competition was held, one of the five rivers in Phoenix Town called "Dongliu" no longer produces fish, even in the heavy rainy season, other rivers are rich in fish and shrimp, and there are almost no fish and shrimp in the Dongliu River. Occasionally, there are a few, but they are only half a claw, far less than the previous ones.
At first, no one had noticed this phenomenon. After a long time, everyone knew about it, and all kinds of strange remarks came out.
Some people say that there must be a Big Mac fish in that river, and this Big Mac fish has a lot of food and eats all the fish and shrimp in the river. Some people also say that maybe there is a yokai in the river, and this yokai specializes in eating fish, so there are no more fish and shrimp in the river. Others said that the river was now too dirty for fish and shrimp to grow, so it stopped producing fish and shrimp. Some people even said that the roe and fish grandchildren in that river were all caught by Li Sanniu, and they were all caught, and they were all extinct, and there would be no fish in the future.
All kinds of rumors came out, but this had no effect on Li Sanniu. If this river doesn't work, he can go to another river to continue fishing, or teach someone to fish.
One evening, Li Sanniu saw that everyone was asleep, and as usual, changed his clothes, took tools, and went out fishing. Few people know that the evening is also a good time to fish when it is almost dark. Li Sanniu didn't tell anyone else this secret.
The west end of the Dongliu River is the upper stream, and the river flows from west to east, so it is named the Dongliu River. The upper reaches of the Dongliu River are connected with the Beiwang River. Li Sanniu came to the Beiwang River, observed for a while, sprinkled some bait, then picked up the fishing net, and prepared to catch the fish.
At this moment, Li Sanniu suddenly felt that there was something on his feet and neck, probably entangled by something, and both feet were both. Immediately, he heard someone say, "Caught, caught, Crab Lux, pull him quickly, bring him back!".”
Li Sanniu was shocked, thinking that he had encountered a water monkey, so he hurriedly went to pull the things on his feet and neck. But before he could remember to bend down, he was dragged down, and then he went to the river. Fortunately, he often mixed in the river, and the water was excellent, so he quickly took a sharp breath, and then he was dragged to take off in the current.
By feeling, Li Sanniu felt that from the Beiwang River to the Dongliu River, in the blink of an eye, he felt the cave, because he often touched the wall. After a long while, he felt much more empty, and miraculously, the water around him seemed to be gone, the pressure dropped sharply, and he could finally breathe.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that this was actually a palace, a very small palace, only a little larger than three rooms. But the decoration is luxurious, like a palace on earth. And in front of the palace, there is a seat on which a small dragon sits. On either side of the seat, there are shrimp soldiers and crab generals, two shrimp soldiers put away their long beards, and crab generals are holding pincers. Here, there is no water, but it is also magical.
It seems that the ninety shrimp soldiers and crabs just now will pull him here.
Li Sanniu, I am the dragon king in the Dongliu River, this king asks you, are you guilty?The little dragon spoke.
Lord Long, the villain doesn't know, the villain was born in the Honghu Village next to him, living by farming and fishing, and he has never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason!”
When I die, I still have a hard mouth, and the fish, shrimp, crabs and turtles in my Dongliu River were all wiped out by you many years ago and almost wiped out. On that occasion alone, you caught dozens of catties of small fish and shrimp in our Dongliu River. Do you know that the Dongliu River is very small, so it can only produce these fish and shrimps!Do you dare to say that you haven't done anything unreasonable?"The dragon king was angry.
Hearing the words "death is imminent", Li Sanniu was even more afraid, kowtowed and said, "Lord Long, don't blame me!."It was a contest organized by the county magistrate, and 100 people from all over the town participated, and I only caught fish and shrimp for the sake of participating!Lord Dragon, wronged!”
However, you caught too many fish and shrimp, and I, the caviar and fish grandson of the Dongliu River, was almost caught by you!You say it's for the competition, aren't they for the competition, why do they catch fewer fish?”
That's because they're not as good as me, so they can only catch a few fish. In order to win the first place in the competition, I got the twenty taels of silver, so I caught some more fish and shrimp, which is ......You can't blame me for that?You can't let me do it if I have such a great ability, right?”
Okay, even if you said that. So what did you do after you won the grand prize?Every day, I take people to the Dongliu River to catch fish and shrimp, dig fish nests, fish, fish around the embankment, use forks to spear fish, and weave fishing gear to test ...... in our Dongliu RiverIn the past few years, every time you have to take a dozen or so people to harm our caviar and fish grandchildren, don't you blame you?”
It's ......I took their money, I have to teach them how to fish, and I can't help it!Lord Dragon, it is natural for people to catch fish, and our ancestors did the same. Li Sanniu said.
Yes, it is natural for people to eat fish. However, in the principle of nature, ** said that he desperately caught all the fish and shrimp in a river?You say that your ancestors did the same, but how could your ancestors have been so desperate to kill them all?I remember that you humans also said, 'I advise you not to eat the March crucian carp, thousands of fish are in the belly'. Your ancestors had to not hunt the three spring birds and the March fish, but what about you?You don't care about these at all, you just take people to catch fish in the river and make money, you hurt the fish and shrimp in our river are almost extinct!"The Dragon Lord has already roared.
Yes, I observed with Brother Shrimp for a few years, and then I found that it was you. Before, our dragon king was still forgiving you, but instead of pitying the life in the river, you also intensified it, and you really deserve to be killed!General Crab said.
Yes, not to mention anything else, every time you bring so many people to fish in the river, just the mud and muddy water that kicks up make us die a lot. Every time we weave fishing gear, there are so many leaves and rattans floating in the river that we can't breathe!You ......You're polluting this water!The shrimp soldier said hatefully.
I ......I don't know, Lord Dragon, I won't dare to do it again in the future, please spare me!Li Sanniu kowtowed and said.
People who swim a lot, know the depth of the water, the shallowness of the water;Those of you who are frequent fishers must also know that you can't catch all the fish and shrimp, and you need to keep some fry. You also know this truth, but you are too greedy, you come to teach people to catch fish all year round, and you also destroy the environment in the river, and you have been even more excessive recently, I really can't forgive you!The Dragon Lord said.
The next day, it was discovered that Li Sanniu's body was floating on the bank of the Dongliu River.
Often catch shrimp and fish in the water, and live half as long as ordinary people. The words of the ancestors make sense, but you still can't go down to the river to fish often. Otherwise, how could the fish king die?"People are talking about it.
