Chapter 13 A familiar scene

After the old doctor entered the house, he quickly walked out again.

There was also a small box in his hand.

Take this thing.

The old doctor handed the box to Lu Qing.

What's this?

Lu Qing opened the box and saw a small bundle of almost transparent white silk thread inside.

This thread was a gift from an injured knight who saved my life when I was traveling in the early years.

I don't know exactly what it is, but the thread is extremely tough and cannot be broken easily. It should meet your requirements for making a fishing line.

Grandpa Chen, this is too precious, I can't have it. Upon hearing this, Lu Qing quickly pushed the thing back.

The things that others brought to repay the kindness of saving lives must be extraordinary, and Lu Qing really didn't dare to take them casually.

However, when he heard the word knight, his heart moved.

Sure enough, there are such extraordinary people in this world.

Old Doctor Chen did not answer.

He waved his hand and said: Just take it, this thing is of no use to me. It has been with me for more than ten years, and I have never used it. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that I still have it. Something.

Since you need strong silk thread to make fishing line, you might as well use it. This can be considered as making the best use of it, so as not to keep it here and gather dust.

If you really feel that you deserve it, just give me a portion if you catch something good someday. The little fish from yesterday is quite fresh and suitable for drinking.

Lu Qing held the box, feeling both grateful and ashamed.

The old doctor treated his brother and sister so well. He was really ashamed that he had even thought of secretly learning their skills.

Looking at the box in his hand, Lu Qing silently made a decision in his heart.

In the following days, unless old doctor Chen takes the initiative to teach.

Otherwise, he would never try to imitate the old doctor's skills again.

Don't worry, Grandpa Chen. If I catch something good in the future, I will definitely bring it to you as soon as possible!

Lu Qing held the small box tightly and said seriously.

The old doctor smiled heartily: Haha, I'll look forward to it!

After coming out of the old doctor's house, Lu Qing was excited.

Today’s harvest is really great.

Not only did she gain the favor of Dr. Chen and regulate her body, but she also got the opportunity to teach her how to identify medicinal materials.

I even got a box of silk thread with mysterious origins.

Lu Qing's intuition told him that the box of silk thread the old doctor gave him was nothing special.

But before, at the old doctor's place, he couldn't keep staring at the thread, otherwise he could use his powers to find out.

When Lu Qing took Xiaoyan down from the mountain and returned to the village, he happened to see several villagers carrying bamboo poles and buckets on their backs, talking and laughing, returning from the village entrance.

As soon as he saw Lu Qing, he started shouting from a distance: Lu Qing!

Uncle Shi, did you just come back from fishing?

Lu Qing asked when he saw the poles on the shoulders of the villagers.

Yes. The villager whom Lu Qing called Uncle Shi said excitedly, Didn't I listen to the method you mentioned yesterday about using earthworms to fish? This morning, Dashan and I dug some earthworms and took them to the river. Give it a try, don’t tell me, Lu Qing, your method is really effective, look at this is our harvest today!

After saying that, he showed Lu Qing the bucket he was holding.

Lu Qing took a look and saw that there were quite a few fish in the bucket, weighing about one or two kilograms.

There were several fish that were bigger than the ones he caught yesterday.

He looked at the buckets of several other villagers. Not to mention, all of them had harvests. The least one had half a catty of small fish.

One villager was lucky and caught a big fish weighing more than a pound.

But the villager was also upset: Originally, I caught a bigger one, but the fish was so strong that it broke my twine in one fell swoop, and I couldn't even get the hook back!

I told you not to pull it so hard and to slow it down, but it's strange that you have to fight it hard and the thread keeps breaking! one villager accused.

I never imagined that the fish would be so strong. I think the fish must weigh more than five kilograms!

Come on, it's only two pounds at most. If it's five pounds, you won't be able to hold it the first time!

Absolutely five pounds!

…

Listening to the villagers arguing about the size of the big fish that was not pulled in, Lu Qing couldn't help laughing.

This scene was all too familiar to him.

In his previous life, he looked like this when he went fishing with his fishing friends.

If anyone is cut off, no matter how it is cut, the fish will definitely be treated as bigger.

Less than ten kilograms is disrespectful to your own fishing skills!

I didn't expect that I could see this scene after being reborn in a different world.

Sure enough, no matter which world they are in, the temperaments of fishermen are so similar.

Lu Qing's laughter made Uncle Shi and the others a little embarrassed.

Especially Xiaoyan's wide-eyed look as she watched their quarrel made them feel even more ashamed.

For a group of adults to argue like this in front of two children, it really undermines the dignity of the elders.

Lu Qing, where are you coming back from?

In order to ease the embarrassment, Uncle Shi could only change the topic.

Lu Qing replied: Xiaoyan and I just came back from Grandpa Chen's place.

Uncle Shi nodded: Old Doctor Chen, that's right. He cured your illness. It's time to come and thank him.

But he mistakenly thought that Lu Qing was going to thank the old doctor.

Well, if it weren't for Grandpa Chen, I might not be able to stand here. Lu Qing did not deny it.

By the way, Lu Qing, you provide us with all the fishing methods. You can pick a few of the fish here to eat, Uncle Shi said.

Yeah, if it weren't for your method, we wouldn't know that earthworms can be used for fishing!

Pick me, pick me, my fish is bigger!

Fart, is yours bigger than mine? The biggest fish is the one I caught. Pick mine!

Several other villagers also said.

Uncles, no need, I haven't finished the fish I caught yesterday yet. Lu Qing declined.

If you can't finish it, just eat more. You see how thin you and Xiaoyan are. Fish is more nutritious, so you should eat more fish!

In the end, Lu Qing couldn't defeat the villagers, so he symbolically picked a few fish from each villager's bucket, pulled a piece of grass from the roadside and put them on.

In this way, I caught more than half a catty of fish at once.

Take more! Uncle Shi was still urging.

I really can't take it anymore. If I take it anymore, I won't have that much oil and salt to cook fish at home.

This time Lu Qing said he didn't want to take it anymore.

When Uncle Shi and others heard what he said, they finally stopped trying.

Indeed, if the fish is cooked without oil and salt, the fishy smell cannot be suppressed, and it is really not very delicious.

In this way, Lu Qing took a bunch of fish, took Xiaoyan and said goodbye to Uncle Shi and the others, and returned to his small courtyard.

After returning home, he put the fish into the kitchen first.

Then he took out the small box given by Dr. Chen.

Open the box and look at the silk thread inside quietly.
