Even though Shi Tian had a satellite phone on the sea, it was impossible to reach the base. Just as he was about to hang up and send a WeChat message, Shi Tian's call surprisingly connected!
There are times when a Satellite Phone can be reached; after searching for satellites and making a call, if the call ends while the satellite connection is still active, it can receive calls. While he was reeling in a fish, the phone rang! He turned to glance at Pingtou Ge, who immediately reached for the Rod in Shi Tian's hand. Luckily, Li Ziyu was one step ahead.
He pulled out his phone to remind Shi Tian that it was Shi Chui calling, swiped his finger across the screen, and held the phone up to Shi Tian's ear.
"What's up? Still at Ganjiang? Caught any Huchen yet?" As soon as the call connected, he casually mentioned loosening the drag a bit, providing some background noise for Shi Chui, so that when he caught a ten-kilogram Huchen, he could call him to give a thumbs up.
"We're in Sanya. Where are you? Why aren't you home?" After finishing his sentence, he heard the sound of the drag being released. Shi Chui switched to speakerphone, letting a few old men join in on the fun!
"Just out here having fun. When are you coming? Why didn't you give me a heads-up?" He said this with a smug smile, glancing at the fish on the Rod. "Come on, get moving! You can't slack off at such a crucial moment!"
After reeling in a few times, the fish lay flat; it was somewhat disappointing! If the fish wasn't cooperating, he'd have to take matters into his own hands. He tugged on the line with the Rod, pulling it out little by little as the drag sounded again—there was indeed something interesting happening.
"Xiao Tian, you've got a fish on!" What kind of fish? Hearing Shi Tian pick up the call, Old Kong immediately asked.
"Nothing much, just a small Xiao Jinqiang."
"Old man, did you bring any Huchen? I haven't had any yet!" The old men around him must have been drooling at the sound of the drag!
"You're just bragging! Fishing for Tuna with a medium rod? Is there even a bite at this spot? Let me see!" After saying this, Old Kong hung up on Shi Chui, pulled out his own phone, and sent a video call to Shi Tian.
Great, this fish was no longer worth playing with. He tightened the drag twice and signaled for Li Ziyu to pick up the video call.
In front of the camera, he quickly reeled in line; they were almost at the side of the boat when the fish started thrashing again!
"Bro, help me out here! This fish is too small; it's not worth keeping. Let's release it!"
He called out to Pingtou Ge, and as Li Ziyu turned to aim his phone at him, he startled him into quickly inserting his rod and grabbing the Ping Net to assist with catching the fish.
If one were to say this fish was small, it wasn't exactly tiny—it weighed about fifty kilograms. However, they weren't too concerned about this one fish since their ice chamber already had three or four weighing over seventy kilograms; adding one more or less didn't matter.
Once they brought the fish up, he removed the hook and tossed it back into the sea. "Come back when you've grown bigger!"
"I heard you bought a boat? Did you take Xiao Yu out for a test sail? Hurry up and come over; you need to pay respects to Mazu before officially setting sail!" Seeing that Shi Tian had thrown back the fish into the sea, Shi Chui quickly spoke up.
This was something that Yi Laotou had taught him; people from the north knew little about Mazu. If it weren't for what Yi Laotou taught him, Shi Chui might not have known either.
When mentioning Mazu, it left Shi Tianyi momentarily stunned. He had never bought a boat before; how could he forget such an important step?
Don't even mention the worship of Mazu; he didn't even set off firecrackers, only thinking about taking Li Ziyu out to sea for some fun!
He handed the rod to Li Ziyu, took the phone, and quickly asked Shi Chui, "Is my master around? For such an important occasion, we need him to make an appearance! I've been waiting for you all to arrive. Once we pay our respects to Mazu, I'll take the boat to Zhoushan! We need to go now!"
We have to hurry to Zhoushan; it's getting late for this season. If we wait another half month, the Yellow Croaker season will be over.
"I'm here, hurry up! Park the boat at the pier; it's been repaired. From now on, you can dock there!" Upon hearing Shi Tian was looking for him, Yi Laotou quickly spoke up.
While Shi Tian was discussing the worship of Mazu with Yi Laotou, the other three old men stepped aside. They didn't say a word; they simply exchanged glances, their expressions rich with unspoken thoughts.
