Chapter 1284 The Beachcombing Girl Streamer and the Aloof Campus God (1)

The Beachcombing Girl and the Cool Campus Heartthrob (Part 11)

That was indeed a very large eel.

It's yellowish-brown with a hint of black, and its back is covered with spots, making it look like a loach, an eel, or a snake. But those who know it know that the yellow eel tastes much better than those two. Moreover, the larger and heavier the wild yellow eel, the higher the price. Many owners buy them to supplement their health.

Song Ning was a bit flustered at first, but fortunately, A-Le quickly taught him, and he soon grasped the essence, using a pair of iron pliers to firmly clamp the eel into the fish basket.

Ah Xing also waded through the mud and looked into the fish basket by the light of his headlamp.

"Wow, this is a big one! It probably weighs over a pound. This one is fat! Does your friend eat eels? This one would be a good gift."

Song Ning had the same idea, but Ah Xing asked about exactly what he was worried about.

"I don't know, I'll ask him later."

If Lance were to eat it, then this one would be considered presentable.

But that's still a bit too few. Let's catch a few more; that would make it more presentable.

Ah Xing called out to him from a few meters away, "Come over here, it looks like we can get some goods here."

The water here is a bit deeper than the previous one. Song Ning had the same feeling as soon as he arrived, thinking that he could ship goods here.

It was quite late at night. Although it was October, the temperature here was still quite hot. The temperature had been bad for the past few years, with the sweltering heat lasting for an incredibly long time. The three of them waded in the pond without feeling too cold.

The lights from the three headlamps searched around the pond, with Song Ning following the spots he felt might contain eels.

Suddenly, a faint black shadow appeared right under his nose. Song Ning was overjoyed and grabbed the pliers, striking with lightning speed!

"Another big truck? Wow, Ah Ning, your luck is unbelievable!"

Ah Le shouted from afar, then leaned closer with an envious look and gestured, "This one is a bit short, but it's thick and big enough, probably weighs about a pound, right?"

Song Ning felt it for a moment and was overjoyed.

"It should be more than just heavy, it should weigh more than a pound."

Two eels weighing over a pound each are enough for a dish. We'll keep them for a few days when we get back, and then get a few more rare fish before Lance arrives. It won't be embarrassing to treat Lance to a meal then.

Song Ning rarely took the initiative, saying, "If you catch any that weigh more than a pound later, sell me two or three more. I'm thinking of treating someone to a meal later."

Ah Le laughed, "What, are you going to treat your future father-in-law to dinner too?"

He had just sent over the large stone goby he had caught earlier, and his future father-in-law was quite satisfied. After all, stone gobies this big are indeed rare, and wild ones are much more expensive than farmed ones.

Moreover, the fact that he, as a fisherman, could catch such a fine stone fish shows that he is suited for this job, and his father-in-law was happy to marry his daughter to him.

Future father-in-law?

Song Ning's mind didn't quite process what was happening, but Ah Xing was on the other end, sitting up straight with three fingers holding a yellow eel that weighed about eight ounces, laughing and scolding.

"What nonsense are you talking about? They were given hairy crabs by a friend and were using them as a return gift. Do you think everyone is like you? You love-struck fool."

Song Ning pursed her lips, said nothing, and turned to continue searching for eels.

Whether it was because he was a beginner and had good luck, as everyone said, Song Ning found five more eels in a row. Although they weren't as big as the previous two, they weighed at least seven or eight ounces each.

Ah Xing and Ah Le also had good results. Although they weren't as careless as him, they both caught a small bucket.

Ah Le flipped over his bucket, and the light shone on the eels inside, which were crowded together and rolling around, looking quite delightful.

Ah Xing: "Isn't that enough? We've been out for over an hour. Do you still want to catch them, or are you planning to go back?"

Ah Le didn't care. "I'm fine with anything. I'm free tonight, but my girlfriend has class tonight."

Ah Xing laughed and scolded, "Who asked you?"

Song Ning also checked his fish basket; there were quite a few eels inside, he estimated it to be about half a bucket.

As he looked up, the headlamp shone over Ah Xing's side, and a slender figure flashed by.

His expression suddenly changed, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Brother Xing, watch out, there's something near your feet!"

Ah Xing was startled, but luckily he was an experienced fisherman and quickly realized what was happening, so he immediately went ashore.

Song Ning and A Le rushed over and quickly grabbed the white figure.

"It's a water snake."

All three recognized him, and Ah Xing was also startled when he saw him.

This water snake is poisonous. If Ah Xing had been bitten, he would have been in serious trouble. Fortunately, Song Ning saw it and warned him in time.

"Thank goodness, you spotted it."

Ah Xing still looked scared when he talked about it. He considered himself an old hand and was a bit arrogant in front of Song Ning because of his seniority. He didn't expect that this arrogance would almost lead to a real accident.

Song Ning shook her head, "I was lucky to see it, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to warn you."

Ah Le: "Your luck is really good, not to mention your luck with fish. Even your safety is so good. If I ever buy a boat and go out to sea to catch big cargo, I will definitely invite you. You have to help me out then. You will definitely get a good reward."

Song Ning: "If you need help, just call me. It's free."

Ah Le: "That won't do. Many people can't get this kind of good luck no matter how much money they spend."

Nothing bad happened after all, and the three of them relaxed a lot as they chatted.

They naturally released the water snake as well. Although it was a venomous snake, it was still a Class II protected animal, so they couldn't kill it and had to release it.

Everyone had a good haul, but the encounter with the snake left the three of them shaken. After discussing it, they decided to stop and retreat.

Ah Xing also asked, "There are still quite a few eels here. Would you like to come again?"

Song Ning shook her head, "No, this is enough for me. From now on, I will mainly focus on making videos. It's too dark to shoot this, and the effect probably won't be very good."

Ah Xing thought about it and agreed, "That's true. It's so dark here that even with a light, you can't see very clearly. I've seen some of you make videos and stuff, and you need to put a white board behind the person to make it bright enough. It's too dark here to catch people, so it's not suitable."

Song Ning: "Mm."

Having returned relatively early, Song Ning followed Ah Xing's instructions to raise the eels to remove their earthy smell. By the time Lance arrives, the earthy smell should be less pronounced, and they should taste even better.

After a busy night, he touched his stomach and realized he was hungry again.

It was only then that Song Ning belatedly realized, "Have I been getting hungry way too fast lately?"
