Chapter 941: The Power of Three People and One Horse
As the old saying goes, "An expert can tell whether something exists or not with just one touch."
When casting a net to fish, although you cannot see what the net is like in the water, the rope in your hand can give you a general idea.
Therefore, as soon as Wang An exerted his strength, he immediately called out to Wang Yi:
"Xiao Yi, come and help me pull the fish. This net is full of fish."
Wang Yi, who was observing another fish pond, heard this and ran over while agreeing:
"Hey, I'm here, bro."
However, there were too many fish in the net. After the two brothers pulled the net tight together, they said they couldn't pull it any further.
It is obvious that the fish in this net must weigh at least three or four hundred kilograms.
Fortunately, after a while, Wang Li came over leading the horse.
After tying the rope on the fishing net to the heavy hook on the shaft, that is, the iron hook, Wang An and Wang Yi let go of the rope in their hands.
Wang Li held the reins with his left hand and patted the eldest horse's shoulder with his right hand, shouting at the same time:
"drive!"
As soon as Wang Li gave an order, the big horse lowered its head and began to push forward. Its two thick front legs bent down instantly, and its two huge hind hooves pushed directly into the soil.
Darama's strength was indeed very strong, but even until his back was arched due to the force, the net of fish was not pulled out of the river.
This shows how heavy the fish in this net are.
Wang An saw that things were not going well, so he immediately called Wang Li and Wang Yi and said:
"Hurry, hurry, stop looking, let's go together."
As he spoke, Wang An grabbed the right side of the shaft with his left hand, and Wang Li took a step back and grabbed the left side of the shaft with his right hand.
When Wang Yi saw that there was no place for him to stand, he went to the back and grabbed the rope on the fishing net.
Then, Wang An started shouting:
"Come on, one, two, push harder, one, two, push harder."
In this way, with the combined strength of three people and one horse, it took about 20 seconds to pull the fishing net out of the river.
Only after the fishing net filled with fish was pulled three or four meters away from the shore did Wang An gasp and shout, "Yu."
Anyway, in the local area, although the word "Yu" is used to refer to livestock, people can still understand what it means when they hear it.
After shouting this word, Wang An sat down on the ground. Of course, Wang Li and Wang Yi did the same thing.
To be honest, this way of fishing is really annoying, not only because it takes a lot of effort, but also a lot of manpower.
I have to say, it's really damn heavy. Even with Daer Ma's strength, he can't pull it alone.
After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Yi turned around and looked at the fish in the fishing net, and said in surprise:
"Oh my God, Big Brother, Fifth Brother, look at this pile of fish, how many kilograms are there?"
Wang An was also very surprised when he looked at these fish.
Because the entire fishing net was filled with fish, many fish were stuck in the gaps of the fishing net.
Fortunately, this fishing net had not been used many times before the land was distributed to each household, otherwise it would have been burst by the fish.
Except for the time in Wang An's previous life when he saw fishermen at sea whose nets were immediately filled up with just one cast, Wang An had never seen a fisherman fill up his net while fishing in a river.
This shows how high the fish density is in the rivers in these days.
However, if we calculate the date, this phenomenon is normal, because from July to October every year, there are the most fish in the river, and now is August, which can be said to be the peak time for the number of fish in the river. After Wang Yi finished speaking, Wang Li murmured:
"This must weigh about 800 to 900 kilograms, right?"
Wang An shook his head and said:
"How big is the fishing net? It's definitely not that old. 600 catties is probably a few dozen kilograms, maybe not even 700 kilograms."
Wang Li opened his mouth wide and said with a sigh:
"700 pounds is a lot, oh shit, this guy is really tired."
Normally speaking, a weight of around 700 kilograms is not a problem for a horse. Moreover, the height and weight of the big horse are much larger than those of normal local horses.
The reason why it was so difficult for three people and a horse to pull the thing together was that when pulling something out of the water, the weight would instantly double.
After resting for a while, Wang An stood up and said:
"Xiao Yi, untie the rope and lead the horse over there. Your fifth brother and I will go and cast the other net first."
As he spoke, Wang An picked up the fishing net that Wang Li brought, and walked towards the second nest with Wang Li.
At this time, Wang Yi asked Wang An:
"Brother, are we just going to leave the fish in the net like this for now? How about I take them out and give them some fresh air?"
Wang An said without turning his head:
"No, just throw it there first. The more air the fish's thing gets, the faster it will die. Besides, all the fish in the nest will run away in a while."
After such a long delay, the fish in the second nest seemed to have dispersed a lot, mainly because there were not as many splashes as before.
Regardless of this and that, Wang An aimed at the location and covered it with a net.
After waiting for a while, Wang An began to close the net.
Although this net was not light, Wang An felt that Daerma could pull it out by himself, so Wang An called Wang Yi and said:
"Xiao Yi, are you done? Hurry up and bring the horse over."
Unexpectedly, Wang Yi shouted anxiously:
"Brother, I think I pulled the rope in the wrong place, and I can't untie the knot."
When Wang An heard this, he said to Wang Li in silence:
"Xiao Yi has become stupid from studying too much. Go and fix him. If you can't fix him, just cut the rope."
For temporary dragging like this, it is normal to tie a hand buckle, which is also called a trailer buckle. It is tied differently from the buckle for tying shoelaces, but the solution is the same. Just grab the rope end at the bend and pull hard.
Even such a simple deduction could be done wrong, which showed how irritating Wang Yi was at the moment.
After hearing this, Wang Li turned around and walked back.
Just as Wang Li was helping Wang Yi untie the rope buckle, Wang An felt a considerable pulling force coming from the fishing net rope in his hand.
Wang An subconsciously pulled the rope in his hand hard, but immediately afterwards, the fishing net rope in Wang An's hand was pulled again.
When Wang An felt this pulling force again, he was instantly delighted.
It was obvious that there must be a big fish in the net. Wang An pulled the rope twice but not only did it fail to move, the pulling force on the rope became even greater.
I have to admit, this big fish is really powerful in the water.
Wang An hurriedly shouted to Wang Li and Wang Yi:
"Lao Wu, hurry up and cut the rope. Xiao Yi, come over and help me pull it. The fish is trying to escape."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi ran over immediately and played tug-of-war with Wang An for a long time before the fish finally stopped.
Fortunately, Wang Li cut the rope in time and led the horse over.
