"Li Yunfei!" he shouted, and Hu Shuyi immediately tossed her phone aside and leaned toward the window, the two of them hiding behind the curtains to watch Shi Tian on the street.
The young man was quite handsome and tall; Xiao Yu's standards were higher than mine! He looked energetic! As they watched Shi Tian enter Lu Ya's villa with a fishing rod and a fishing box, Hu Shuyi closed the curtains and turned to Li Yunfei, saying, "What do you mean Xiao Yu's standards are higher than yours? I’m also handsome!"
Li Yunfei shot her a glance and pushed aside the curtain while looking outside, feeling a bit sour. "He went fishing and didn't catch a single fish, yet he's still selling fishing gear?"
Shi Tian's fish had been robbed again. After being provoked by Lu Ya's words yesterday, he had completely lost interest in eating fish from the Lancang River. This kind of emotional blow would probably take at least ten days or half a month to recover from!
He's selling fishing gear, not fish! Is he going fishing just for the sake of catching fish? The joy of fishing lies not in the catch but in the experience itself. Haven't you learned that?
Hu Shuyi added casually after giving Li Yunfei a look, "Besides, he just learned to fish two or three months ago; it's normal not to catch anything."
Going out to fish without catching anything, yet continuing until dark—what determination! If we say this kid is serious about his work and has perseverance, that's the attitude one should have!
Great, my wife has already fallen for him, caught up in the illusion of seeing her son-in-law. I still have to worry about my own little Mian Ao!
"You keep an eye on him; I'm going to buy a fishing rod. I'll go fishing with him!" After giving Hu Shuyi a pat on the shoulder, Li Yunfei turned to head downstairs, eager to find out where he could buy a fishing rod. He needed some gear first so he could find an excuse to get closer to Shi Tian.
From Shi Tian's appearance, it seemed he was going fishing alone. Since he was going by himself, that saved Li Yunfei the trouble of having to distract Air Force and Lu Ya. That was quite convenient.
They came to Xishuangbanna without letting anyone know. The less Air Force and Lu Ya noticed them, the better; this way, they could come and go without a trace.
"When did you learn to fish?" Hearing Li Yunfei mention buying a fishing rod, Hu Shuyi was taken aback. When did Old Li learn this skill?
"I haven't! But I can learn!" He thought about carrying the rod along with Shi Tian and learning how to fish from him. Wouldn't that be a perfect excuse to get close?
If he teaches me how to fish, I’ll have to treat him to a meal as thanks! A few drinks in, and after chatting more, it wouldn't be hard to get him talking!
After finishing his plan, Hu Shuyi's eyes lit up. Old Li is pretty clever! He actually thought of such a good idea!
"Remember to send me your location when you go eat! I'll come by and listen in!" She reminded Li Yunfei before turning back to keep an eye on Lu Ya's villa. Shi Tian had already gone upstairs; she wanted to see how he interacted with Lu Ya!
Shi Tian was unaware that he was being watched. After putting down his gear, he took a shower and changed clothes before heading out onto the terrace with two cans of beer to show off the big Mian Gua he caught earlier.
"Lu Ge," he said with a grin as he handed Lu Ya a can of beer while sitting next to her. "This setup can handle a big fish weighing seventy or eighty pounds!"
Catching such a large Giant Fish usually requires some serious line setup; some hardcore anglers even use main lines designed for heavier catches. While it might work for carp or Lophius, if you hook something weighing several dozen pounds, it would definitely snap.
"What's so surprising about your line being able to catch something that heavy? As long as you handle it properly and don't lose it, dragging it up shouldn't be too difficult."
If anyone knew about Star Brand Fishing Line, it wasn't Shi Tian or Wang Gou but rather Shi Ye, Air Force, and Lu Ya themselves.
They had fished for all kinds of big fish in Africa; even with Star Brand Fishing Line, cutting lines became routine for them. If you added up all their line cuts (not counting snagged ones), it would probably surpass what everyone in Sanya combined had experienced. Of course, this only applied to Star Brand Fishing Line!
After downing a beer, Lu Ya straightened up suddenly as she realized that Shi Tian had caught that seventy or eighty-pound fish from the Lancang River!
How big? Seventy or eighty pounds? What kind of fish? It can't be the Azure Wind Antelope, can it?
What fish are in the Lancang River? The Four Major Fish plus Carp are all included, along with some local species. It's really hard to guess what Lu Ya is talking about.
No, it's a local species! Come on, take a guess and see if you can figure it out! Originally, I wanted to show off my phone in front of Lu Ya, but when he mentioned the Azure Wind Antelope, I nearly choked on my drink.
Can the Azure Wind Antelope grow to seventy or eighty pounds? Surprisingly, yes! The larger ones can even exceed a hundred pounds, but those are rare like the Phoenix Horn; wild ones of that size are seldom seen.
Local fish species? There aren't many that can grow that big. How about the Mian Gua? Lu Ya's comment almost made Shi Tian spit out his drink—he's got some knowledge! When it comes to local indigenous fish species, Lu Ya guessed it right away!
How did you know it was Mian Gua? Shi Tian exclaimed in surprise as he quickly pulled out his phone, retrieved the photo, and sent it to the group chat while showing it off in front of Lu Ya.
Since I couldn't show off in front of Lu Ya, I might as well do it in the group chat and let Wang Gou and Da Gui Wang see it too! I wonder how well Wang Gou's Air Force Faction and Da Gui Pai have integrated by now!
Of course, there aren't many local fish species that can grow this big; aside from Mian Gua, what other fish could reach such a size? There are Giant Catfish in the Mekong River, but they can't swim over here!
Over in Lao Country, there's a Kong'en Waterfall where the downstream fish can't make it through. However, there are Giant Catfish in the aquarium at the Original Forest Garden to the east. If you want to check them out someday, I can take you; they look just like giant Manta Rays!
The Original Forest Garden isn't far from here; just a few steps east and you wouldn't even need a car. But Shi Tian thought it wasn't worth wasting time going to the forest garden just for one fish!
Is that fish protected? If not released, you'd better not show off recklessly! After flipping through his phone, Shi Tian saw that he had sent the photo to the group chat, prompting Lu Ya to quickly remind him.
If it hasn't been released yet, there's still time to retract it. If someone downloads the image and finds out it's a protected species, that would be quite problematic.
As for fish like Mian Gua, if eaten unknowingly, it generally wouldn't reach criminal levels. However, fines and warnings are inevitable; it's still somewhat troublesome!
