Chapter 340: You Can’t Catch Them All, You Can’t Catch Them All

“Fish are coming…hahahaha…fish are coming…fish are coming…”

In addition to the sound of wind and rain, the cheers of everyone, and the clatter of fish landing on the ground...

Li Changle put the money away and came out. He saw everyone crowded in front of the door and under the eaves, looking up at the fish that were spinning and tumbling in the air, with their bodies arched, their tails cocked, and the soft ones...

All kinds of fresh goods, big and small, falling down in various postures, are so exciting.

"God has been holding back for a few days. It turns out that he wants to give us a big gift! When we celebrate the New Year to thank the heaven and earth, we will buy a big pig's head."

"Okay!" Li's mother responded more readily than ever before.

"Dad, look at the octopus!" Li Xiaozhou pulled Li Changle and jumped up happily.

"Oh my god, it's so scary, even the octopus was sucked up!"

"Ah, no! So there really are fish!"

"Yes, I heard about it from an old man before, but I didn't expect such a good thing to happen!"

"My mother said that one year a dragon sucked away all the water and fish and shrimp in a large pond. Later I heard that it rained fish and shrimp in the next town."

"What are you just standing there watching? Go pick up the fish!" Li Xiaohai and Li Xiaoyang reacted the fastest. They ran out with dustpans in their hands before they finished speaking.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go pick up the fish!" One by one, they rushed outside without caring about the heavy rain or the howling wind.

"No!" Li Changle hurriedly stopped them, "The fish fell from the sky. It would be terrible if you were hit by a fish. You can only get out after the fish stops falling."

"Ale is right!" Zhou Ruonan also hurriedly stopped everyone, "We can't pick it up now. If an egg falls from a high altitude and hits someone, it may cause serious injuries.

Not to mention these sea fish, some of them have poisonous spines, if you get hit by them, it will be troublesome.”

"Anan is right. If we go to pick it up later, it won't be worth it if we get hurt somewhere."

Everyone stood at the door, looking at this rare spectacle with joy.

Mother Li watched for a while, then asked Zhou Ruonan and her sister-in-law to take out rain boots, oil coats, backpacks, bamboo baskets, net bags and other things, and asked the adults and children to put on rain boots and oil coats, and wait for the fish rain to stop before rushing out to pick up the fish.

Li Xiaozhou and Li Xiaomei also clamored to wear them, so Zhou Ruonan and Li Ersao had no choice but to help them put them on.

Li Changle went back to the house and took out a fish knife, a deflation needle, two bundles of net bags and hemp ropes, and distributed a bundle to Li's father and his family.

We folded the net bags and filled our trouser pockets, tied the hemp rope directly around our waists, and prepared to get to work.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the fish to stop.

Everyone waited for more than ten minutes, but the fish continued to rain.

Li Xiaozhou squatted down, propped his cheeks with his hands and looked up at the sky, "Why doesn't it stop? Does the river in the sky also raise fish?"

"Hehe!" Li Xiaoyang smiled and stroked his head, "Little idiot, the book says that there are only clouds in the sky, no rivers?"

"Yes, grandma said there is a Milky Way in the sky!" Li Xiaozhou stood up and pulled Li's mother, "Grandma, I didn't say anything nonsense, right?"

"Yes!" Mother Li smiled and rubbed her grandson's fluffy curly hair. "There is a Milky Way in the sky. My little Zhou Zhou was right!"

"Huh! Grandma said yes!" Li Xiaozhou wrinkled his nose at his elder brother proudly.

"Okay, okay, if grandma says there is one, then there is one!" Li Xiaoyang didn't want to argue with an uneducated person.

Li Changle looked at the time. It had been raining fish for more than ten minutes with no sign of stopping. He turned his head to look in the direction of Baisha Island, only to see that the sky there was still pitch black.

There was a power outage in the house and it was pitch black and there was nothing fun to do, so everyone simply pulled out a bench and sat at the door waiting for the fish rain to stop.

After waiting for another ten minutes, fewer and fewer fish landed due to the wind and rain, but the wind and rain did not weaken, and the trees in the distance were blown to and fro.

When the rain of fish stopped completely, the open space in front of the house and the construction site opposite were filled with fish of all sizes.

"Let's pick up the fish!" Li Xiaoyang and his brothers cheered and rushed to the yard with dustpans to pick up the fish.

Father Li, the three brothers Li Changle, and Chen Yongwei picked up their bamboo hats and put them on. "Anan, you and mother stay at home with the children to pick up fish in front of and behind the house. We will go outside to pick up fish on the main road."

"Be careful!"

"Okay!" Li Changle and others rushed into the rain.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyang also ran after him with a dustpan in his hand, but was caught by Mrs. Li and said, "Don't go. Go to the open space outside with your mother and pick it up quickly."

After she said that, she ran out with her two sisters-in-law.

"Oh!" Li Xiaoyang grabbed a few sacks and waved to Li Xiaoqing, Li Xiaotao and the others, "Let's go to the open space outside and the hillside to pick up fish."

"Brother, wait for us." The older ones hurriedly followed, and the two younger ones were pulled by Li's mother to pick up things in front of and behind the house.

Li Changle and four others ran out of the yard and saw the open space was full of fish. Several other families in the valley had already crowded on the open space, busy picking up fish.

It seems that they all know how to plan. They all plan to pick up all the things outside first, and then go home to pick up the things for their own homes.

Jin Hui turned to his father who was busy catching fish and said, "Dad, look, A Le is running outside with a bucket and a basket on his back."

"There must be more fish out there, follow them and pick up the good stuff."

"Yes!" Old Man Jin and his father stopped competing with the others for the fish. They poured the fish in the bucket to Jin Chan and her daughter and followed. The road was full of fish, as densely packed as drying grains. A Biao's family bent over and worked non-stop.

Mr. Wang, who is already in his sixties, catches fish just as fast as young people. He opens his hands left and right, and the sound of fish falling into the bucket can be heard from time to time.

When the old man saw them coming, he stood up and said to Father Li, "Atang, I never thought I would encounter such a good thing at such an old age!"

"Yeah, I've only heard about it before, but this is the first time I've seen God give me food!"

Wang Daobiao raised his head, his teeth showing with joy, "An, there are too many fish, we can't catch them all, we can't catch them all..."

"Keep working hard! We'll catch all the fish eventually!" Brother Li grabbed a pike weighing three or four pounds and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

Li Changle and his companions rushed towards the big mullet, pike, perch, mackerel, eel... and grabbed the gills of a big fish with one hand and threw it into the bucket.

They were too lazy to even look at the hairy fish. They picked up the big fish and shrimps first and would collect them when they remembered.

Fish of all sizes are like banknotes of all sizes. Catch them in the bucket and they are yours!
There are banknotes all over the floor, just roll up your sleeves and work hard, there is nothing more exciting than this!

Everyone unconsciously sped up their movements, wishing they could grow eight hands like an octopus.

"Awei, are there any fish in the village?" Old man Jin became more and more satisfied when he saw how efficiently Chen Yongwei worked.

"Hehe!" Chen Yongwei smiled at him, "I don't know, I haven't been back to the village yet!"

"No matter whether there is fish or not, the real thing is to catch the fish quickly!" Jin Hui felt a little uncomfortable. He came here instead of going to his house. He also wanted to ask him about selling dried fish!

I asked that damn girl Achan, but she still hasn't figured it out.

Chen Yongwei nodded happily, "That's right, there are so many fish, if we act quickly, it will be no problem for one person to catch several hundred kilograms."

That’s great! In the morning, I was told that I would have no income if I couldn’t go out to sea, but I didn’t expect such a good thing to happen in the afternoon!

"Oh shit! A big hairtail!" Li Changle laughed happily as he grabbed a hairtail that was more than four fingers wide and shining with silver light.

Father Li nodded happily, "Not bad, it's worth three or four dollars!"

"There's a smaller one ahead." Li Changle grabbed it happily, "I can sell it for a few bucks!"

"Oh my god! A big bass!" Brother Li stepped on the still-jumping big bass, picked it up and threw it into the bucket. "Haha, it weighs about five or six pounds, and I got two dollars!"

"I caught two dollars!" Chen Yongwei laughed while holding a two-foot-long mackerel, with rain running down his cheeks.

"Fuck! A tiger fish weighing more than a pound, and ten dollars!" Li Changle grabbed the fish, his mouth grinning with joy, "Comrades, be careful!"

"Don't worry, we're watching!"

A big eel twisted its body covered with fine sand, looking for the way home. Brother Li grabbed it by the tail, lifted it up and threw it into the bucket.

The Jin family's father and son and the Wang family were all busy catching fish. They could hear the cheers of Mr. Li and Chen Yongwei. When they caught a big fish, they also cheered.

The bucket that Li Changle was carrying was soon filled up. He took out a net bag and poured water into it to continue picking up water. In a puddle next to a large reef, he found a large blue crab. Unfortunately, its claws were broken when it landed.

This is good too, you don’t even have to tie it up, it’s a snack in the evening!

Before they had walked far, the net bag they were dragging was full. The fish in it weighed seven or eight kilograms, some of the smaller ones weighed more than one kilogram.

Sea bass, mullet and swordfish account for the majority, while hairtail, barracuda and eel account for a small portion. Grouper has not been found yet.

Li Changle tied a net bag around his waist, picked up the bucket and said to Father Li: "Dad, go back and pull the cart to collect the fish, we will continue to pick up fish."

"Okay!" Father Li picked up the net bags of several people together, turned around and strode home.

There were only about ten of them on the road, all busy catching fish and putting them into nets and buckets. They didn't worry at all about someone stealing the fish.

Li Changle kept bending down and standing up to collect fish. Soon a net bag that could hold forty or fifty kilograms of fish was filled up. He tied the mouth of the net bag and placed it on the side of the road.

Looking at the densely packed fish in front and the people catching fish left and right, it feels like everyone has turned into fish-catching machines.

Father Li left quickly and came back quickly. He pulled a cart and moved the fish onto the cart, while catching the fish and throwing them into the bamboo basket.

Li Changle and his brothers picked up the big fish and caught them, and soon arrived at the beach intersection.

He raised his hand to check the time, then looked back and found that they had walked for an hour for the short distance of a few hundred meters, and the fish they caught had filled forty or forty-six net bags.

Brother Li stood up and pounded his waist, "Oh my! My waist is almost broken."

"Brother!" Li Changle winked at him, "Bring two glasses of seahorse wine tonight. I guarantee that your waist and legs won't ache after you drink it."

"You little brat!" Brother Li wiped the rain off his face, grabbed a fish and threw it at him, "A big seahorse costs one or two dollars, and you are the only one who is willing to spend that much!"

"Is it so expensive? I'll sell it when I get five hundred."

"Brother!" Chen Yongwei scratched his head and looked at him, "I remember you told me last time that seahorses are very valuable, and the price charged by the pharmacy is higher than that of the seafood store!"

"...Idiot teammates!" Li Changle's eyes almost turned white.

Brother Li threw him another fish, "You little bastard, just pretend!"

Brother Li smiled and glanced at the people playing around, "Hurry up and work, the villagers will come looking for you later."
