Chapter 179 Didn’t find it, let’s get a fish king first

"It's just the coffin board, what's there to be afraid of?" Chu Mingcheng calmly retracted the fishhook and went over to grab the coffin board that was about to sink.

This place is so close to the place where mandarin fish is fished. He had swam in this area of ​​water when he was diving before, and he didn't find anything special.

Besides, if there really was a coffin, the coffin boards should have been nailed shut, so how could he pull it up so easily?

After just lifting the board a little, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

The board is not thick and rounded like a sliding cover, but like a door panel with a lot of mud on it.

However, when he lifted up all the boards, his heart skipped a beat. Could it really be a coffin board?

The door panel is not that narrow, both in length and width, it does look like a boxy coffin panel.

Looking at the board he lifted in his hand, Chen Yang hesitated and said, "Acheng, how about we call the police?"

Chu Mingcheng shook his head: "It's better not to call the police yet. Let's take this board to the shore first. I'll change into my diving suit and go take a look in the water later."

"Hiss~ You are going to the bottom of the water yourself, aren't you afraid of that?" Zhang Wei couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard that he was going to dive himself.

What if there really is a coffin at the bottom of the water? Wouldn't you panic when you see it?

"No, I wandered around in the sea late at night. The environment at that time was much scarier than seeing a coffin or something." Chu Mingcheng waved his hands and smiled.

He goes fishing and hunting on the seabed dozens of meters deep at night. He is not afraid of such a deep environment, so why should he be afraid of corpses?

Afterwards, he sailed back to the shore, threw aside the wooden boards that seemed to be coffin boards, and then allowed Chen Yang and others to move freely.

Chu Mingcheng himself drove to the dock, boarded his boat and changed into a diving suit.

After returning with Wei Jiaguo and the others, he cleaned the diving suit and quickly took it back to his boat.

Later, he came to the lake again, where Chen Yang and Zhang Wei stood on the shore smoking and chatting.

Seeing that Chu Mingcheng was back, they asked again with some concern.

"Acheng, are you really into the water?"

"Don't be afraid if you see something, I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Go away~"

Chu Mingcheng raised his middle finger to Zhang Wei, who was sleeping with him. Was he really afraid that he wouldn't look for Jiang Luoluo and that he needed him to ruin his good deeds?

However, Zhang Wei's joking words reminded him.

But now I’d better go into the water and take a look, and we’ll talk about other things later.

Chu Mingcheng sailed back to the water area just now, asked Chen Yang and others to meet him on the boat, and put on his equipment and jumped directly into the water.

After entering the water, he dived headfirst into the water.

The depth of the water here is only six or seven meters, which is easy for free divers to handle.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Mingcheng was looking around two meters away from the bottom. He found no big fish or coffin.

However, they could not find the specific location of the fishing board before. They only remembered the approximate location, so they needed to search slowly under the water.

Chu Mingcheng remembered that the plank was caught on the northwest side, so he found the right direction and swam there.

After a while, he discovered traces of being dragged under the water.

It was confirmed that it was indeed the original position of the board, but there was nothing here. Apparently the board was brought here by the current and then sank to the bottom.

As he expected, if there was a coffin, the door panel should be nailed shut.

In that case, either the entire coffin must be pulled up or the line must be disconnected, but obviously the former is basically impossible.

Shaking his head slightly, Chu Mingcheng was about to go back when he suddenly noticed something moving among the water plants not far away.

He saw a huge mandarin fish, bigger than a washbasin, suddenly burst out from the water plants and swallowed a small river shrimp near the water plants.

‘Fuck~’

Chu Mingcheng, who had gone to college but was still uneducated, immediately let out an exclamation in his heart!

Such a big mandarin fish will probably grow for more than ten years, right?

He did not act rashly, but returned to the lure boat first.

As soon as Chen Yang saw him showing up, he quickly asked: "How are you doing? What did you find?"

Chu Mingcheng shook his head: "There is no coffin or anything. The wooden board should have been brought here by the current and happened to be caught by me. But I found a big surprise."

"Awei, help me find the thickest line, tie it on a big hook, and then hang a soft bait. I'll bring you a big one later."

"Hey, what big guy surprises you so much?" Zhang Wei was slightly surprised, but he was not slow and quickly finished it as he said.

Chu Mingcheng took the fishing line and tied it directly to his hand as before.

Whether he is fishing or diving, he always wears gloves on his hands, so he is not afraid of cutting himself on the fishing line.

Returning to the patch of water where he saw the mandarin fish before, Chu Mingcheng floated on the water and dropped the hook bait at the spot where the mandarin fish swallowed the river shrimp just now.

He took the fishing line with his left hand and pulled it gently, making the soft bait imitate the active appearance of small fish in the water.

Sure enough, he saw a big black shadow slowly approaching the soft bait on the water surface.

The next moment, the mandarin fish suddenly appeared and swallowed the soft bait in one bite, eating very fiercely.

Chu Mingcheng immediately pulled hard with his right hand, and the fishhook immediately penetrated deeply into the fish's mouth.

Then he tried to pull the fish back, but found that the fish was very strong and he would not be able to pull it back at all.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng pulled the thread with his left hand and turned his right hand.

The fishing line was retracted in circles, and he slowly swam toward the bottom of the water.

He couldn't pull it back, and the fish couldn't escape. This mandarin fish was big, but judging from its appearance, it only weighed twenty or thirty kilograms at most.

This size is very rare among wild mandarin fish. If you catch one, you usually carry the fish on your back. You just can't find it home on the road, and then it makes small news.

But it cannot be compared with those large fish that can pull people away.

As Chu Mingcheng drew the line shorter and shorter, he slowly got closer to the mandarin fish.

The body is slender, but the belly is a bit bulging.

In winter, fish have to survive the winter and eat very fat.

Chu Mingcheng came closer, pulling the fishing line with his right hand, and grabbing its tail with his left hand.

The shorter the line, the better he could control the fish. Although the fish struggled, he managed to catch the fish's tail after several attempts.

Being controlled from the front and back, the mandarin fish has lost most of its ability to resist.

But the mandarin fish was not willing to give in. Its physical strength was not completely exhausted. With a twist of its body and a flick of its tail, it immediately broke away from Chu Mingcheng's hand.

He was also afraid that the fish would suddenly explode and forcefully pull off the hook regardless of his own injury, so instead of fighting it with brute force, he followed the fish and continued to walk the fish to consume its strength.

Following all the way, Mandarin Fish found some big rocks not far ahead, so he swam over and hid beside the rocks.

Chu Mingcheng didn't want it to rest. Just when he was about to pull the fishing line and let it continue to run with him, he suddenly found a touch of red under some big rocks.

If you look carefully, you can see that it is a bit blurry black and red, and alternately white.

Logically speaking, it is difficult to see red in the lake water, but this stone suddenly appeared in other colors.

Chu Mingcheng was so ignorant that he did not recognize the origin of this stone, but he doubted in his heart whether these stones might have any special significance.

But he was still fishing at this moment, so he focused on the fish first.

He has been in the water for two minutes. Now Chen Yang and Zhang Wei also know how to fish and hunt, so he did not stay at the bottom any longer. Instead, he first floated to the surface and pretended to take a breath, and then continued walking the fish to consume its energy.

After more than ten minutes, when the fish's physical strength was almost exhausted, Chu Mingcheng went forward to catch the fish again, and then swam back with the fish.

The mandarin fish couldn't even fit in the washbasin, so the two people on the boat naturally let out waves of exclamations.

Zhang Wei used the fish controller to try to weigh the fish and found that the fish weighed twenty-seven kilograms and seven taels. The fish controller could weigh thirty kilograms, which was just enough to display.

"It's amazing. I've never seen such a big mandarin fish before. Acheng quickly kept looking. There must be more than one in such a big lake."

"There must be more than that, but whether I can find it or not is a question. It's still early anyway, so I'll look for it again!"

Chu Mingcheng checked the time and saw that it was only half past nine in the morning. He could still play for another hour.

Since they were already in the water, he continued to look for big fish.

But Chu Mingcheng was still thinking about those stones, so he returned to the same place and dived down to dig them out.

There was one piece the size of a duck egg, one the size of an egg, and one piece the size of a football. They were quite heavy, so he didn't take them.

Returning to the water, he first looked at the egg-sized stone in his right hand.

I was surprised to find that there was just a little red stone at the bottom of the water. When it appeared on the surface, there were spots on the stone that were as crimson as blood.

The remaining parts are made of nephrite and are milky white, with a smooth surface like pebbles, unlike ordinary stones.

The duck-egg-sized stones on the left hand are all red, but the surface is very rough, and many parts are still mud-yellow stone color, which is not good-looking.

So he returned to the lure boat and handed the stone to the two people on the boat: "What kind of stone is this? Do you know it?"

Zhang Wei curiously picked up the stone and looked at it, but didn't recognize what it was.
