After waiting for Su Xueyi to start work, Shi Tian finally felt free. He had just seen a message from Wang Gou in the group chat, urgently calling for support. How could he not go help out?
He rushed back to the mountain to grab a seven-meter rod, slung his fishing box over his shoulder, and drove to the city.
“Where are you, Dog Brother? Send me your coordinates; I’m bringing you some water!” He stopped by the supermarket to pick up a pack of water and some snacks, knowing he would need to hold out until six in the afternoon.
“I’m at Fu Wan Reservoir. I’ll send you my location. Don’t forget to bring water and a lighter. No time to chat—I’ve hooked a fish!” As soon as Wang Gou finished speaking, he hung up the phone and sent a location pin along with a picture of a half-meter-long Qiao Zui.
Shi Tian smacked his lips; Fu Wan Reservoir wasn’t too far away—just about thirty kilometers north of the city. He set the navigation and pressed down on the gas pedal, speeding toward Wang Gou.
“Don’t worry about it; Shi Tian will be here soon. I told him to bring a lighter!” After hanging up, Wang Gou turned to the side where a friend was struggling to light a cigarette with two batteries. He casually picked up a mini bottle of mineral water from the ground and hung it on his keychain.
As for the little Qiao Zui on the ground, which was barely longer than his finger, he couldn’t throw it away just yet; he needed to wait for Shi Tian to arrive and explain things first!
He had been fishing all morning, trying to catch something for lunch, and had forgotten to bring a lighter. It didn’t matter that he forgot; as long as they had lobsters, everything would be fine. Unfortunately, after all that fuss in the morning, the lobster lighter ran out of gas, leaving them nearly resorting to rubbing sticks together for fire.
What an innocent kid! How could you bear to put him through this? Shaking his head, Wang Gou replied with a grin as his friend loaded batteries into the headlamp and climbed back onto the fishing platform to continue watching his rod.
To drag Shi Tian all this way just for a lighter—it felt so satisfying! Lost in thought, he even let out a silly laugh.
How did I trick him? I never said how big the fish was! Isn’t it right there? I’ll just let him take a look when he arrives! Chuckling softly, Wang Gou tried to defend himself.
“Your line snapped—was that really a snap? You were snagged on the bottom!” He rolled his eyes at Wang Gou, feeling somewhat frustrated.
Why should Wang Gou have to deal with this alone? At least they should split it evenly!
This is called selective expression; snapping the line is a fact. I only described that it snapped without mentioning why! “Enough arguing; just keep an eye on your rod. If we keep chatting, we’ll scare all the fish away!”
Wang Gou pulled up his rod and switched out for two snails before casting again. The two fell into silence once more.
Wang Gou’s crew had picked quite an isolated spot; after parking, Shi Tian lugged his fishing gear and water around the reservoir for nearly half an hour before finally finding the two tucked away in a corner. All this effort just to catch two fish!
“You guys picked such a remote place! There’s not even a road—I almost swam over!” Upon seeing them, Shi Tian couldn’t help but complain as he dropped his fishing box and water onto the ground and plopped down without wanting to get up again.
In this scorching weather with no path through the thick weeds, Shi Tian wished he could jump into the reservoir for a refreshing bath!
“There aren’t any big fish where there are many people; this place is remote but less crowded! That’s why big fish come here!” Glancing back at Shi Tian, they tossed their fishing rods aside and hurried over, with their first order of business being to share cigarettes.
After lighting one up himself, Shi Tian instinctively reached for his lighter to light theirs; however, as soon as he pulled it out, it ended up in Wang Gou’s hands.
“You came all this way just to bring us water—how can we ask you for cigarettes too? Here, let me light it for you!”
As the flame flickered, the lighter naturally slipped into Wang Gou's pocket, the entire motion fluid and seamless. Then, Shi Tian watched as the two of them waded through the water, climbing back to their Fishing Platform! As for the bag of water and his Fishing Gear, they didn’t even bother to lend a hand.
After moving the water and Fishing Gear next to their Fishing Spot, Wang Gou turned around and pointed to a spot nearby: "That’s where we’ve reserved your Fishing Spot. I was just cutting the line over there! I’ve already set up a nest for you; you can just start fishing!"
With a glance at Wang Gou's evasive eyes, Shi Tian couldn’t shake off a feeling of unease. He found a spot, set up his Fishing Box, and searched for the bottom with heavy weights. Shi Tian had no intention of setting up a Fishing Platform like those two to catch big fish; after the last encounter with Da Gui, he had lost much of his patience!
Once his rod was cast, he immediately felt a tug. Lifting it up revealed a Grass Shrimp; it was right on target. Was this considered unlocking a new species?
Staring at the Grass Shrimp in his hand, he hesitated for a long time. Should he keep it or not? If he released it, he wondered if it could escape through the mesh of his Yu Hu net. If he didn’t keep it, it might just be an opening catch; there was also the chance it could be an opening shrimp. If he let it go, would there still be bites today?
After much deliberation and with a sigh, he pulled out his Fish Bucket, added some water, and casually tossed the Grass Shrimp inside. He could take it home and boil it for Tang Tang as a little treat!
The area was quiet with few people around, and the fish bites were quite good. As soon as he cast his Fish Float, it began to dance. Regardless of whether he caught anything or not, at least he wasn’t lonely.
In this situation, Shi Tian’s Customized Rod truly shone. Whether it was a big fish or Xiao Yu, as long as they bit, Shi Tian could feel it. When he lifted the rod, he could be precise in his movements—whether it was a clean bite or just nibbling—the catch rate remained high!
Suddenly, a big fish! The float quivered again; Shi Tian jerked sharply as the Rod bent into a deep arc. The line sliced through the water with a whoosh, but something felt off in his hands!
