Old Liu, Xiao Tian is here! Knock on the door, Old Wen reminded.
Shi Tian held Li Ziyu's hand as they entered the old man's base. As soon as they stepped in, several old men received notifications on their phones.
There were three paths leading this way, all under surveillance. Ever since they discovered the wireless earpiece by the fish pond last time and checked the footage, they found that Li Ziyu had deliberately obstructed the cameras. This made the old men suspicious, and thus, Li Ziyu transformed from an ally into an undercover agent within their ranks!
Old Wen turned to the young man in camouflage in front of him and said, "Hurry up and go play with your boat! Stay honest and don't think about anything else! Are Old Kong and I just decorations? If Xia Shou could speak, would it be your turn to step in?"
The young man hurried out of the room and plopped down on the sofa, staring at Old Kong's phone.
What are these two up to? Why did they bring a bucket? Old Yi asked, "Did you teach him how to pick locks?"
Looking at their gear, it was clear they were preparing to fish in their pond without even changing their equipment. Previously, when Li Ziyu came over, she had sneaked in while they were fishing. She would distract them while Jiu Yue and Shi Tian made their move to catch fish. But now, Shi Tian boldly arrived with a bucket? They clearly didn't regard them as a threat!
"Don't ask me; I didn't teach him! You should ask Old Kong! Isn't that his great-grandson? And this technique is Old Kong's unique skill; Shi Tian must have learned it from him!" Yi Laotou thought to himself, seizing the opportunity to poke fun at Old Kong.
Li Ziyu provided limited bait for catching Shi Ban shrimp. Since Shi Tian came over without raising many shrimp himself, and Li Ziyu had divided her contributions into several batches, they naturally didn't have enough.
Then all four old men unleashed their best techniques. For just a few shrimp, the scene turned chaotic! Thanks to his physical advantage, Old Liu managed to protect his own catch, but in the end, only Yi Laotou got hurt.
"Forget it; let's hide and catch him red-handed later!" With a command from Old Kong, the four old men dashed into the woods. If they could catch Shi Tian red-handed, they were sure to uncover something!
Ignoring snakes and insects, they hid behind a tree and watched as Shi Tian and Li Ziyu approached from a small path. To their surprise, the two weren't holding hands anymore. Did they really need to hide that from these old men?
Is the old man not here? Has he gone fishing again? After checking each room and calling out twice without finding anyone, Shi Tian turned to Li Ziyu.
Fishing in this weather? The cold air had reached Hainan recently; even those who can't stand the cold in Sanya were wearing long underwear. Would there be any fish biting in this weather?
It shouldn't be possible! The fishing rod is still inside! Blinking her eyes, Li Ziyu scanned around. These old men never left this place except for fishing! Even when fishing recently, their eyes never left the cameras. Every time she brought people over, one of them would personally greet her!
If they're not here, then so be it! Let's go fishing! Handing the small bucket to Li Ziyu, she slipped inside to find a net. Without hesitation, she pulled out two handfuls of bait from her pocket and tossed them into the pond. With her net in the water, she caught nearly half a bucket full.
The fish are biting well! Throwing some sand might even attract more; what a waste of this bait! Another cast with the net filled one small bucket completely.
"Did you record it? Action!" As Shi Tian and Li Ziyu got into it with fishing, Old Wen shouted out loud. The others immediately charged out from the woods towards the pond!
"Old man, what were you doing just now? I looked for you everywhere!" Seeing four old men rush out from the woods, Shi Tian calmly poured the fish from his net into a small bucket. After several casts of his net, two small buckets were already filled to the brim!
"I'll hold off the old man while you find an opportunity to dump the fish into Xiao Ren Lake!" He quietly instructed Li Ziyu. Picking up a small fish from his bucket, Shi Tian took out his phone and turned on the flashlight to shine on the palm-sized fish.
The pose needs to be cool; focus is essential; expressions must be rich. It seems like he should enroll in an acting class soon—without acting skills nowadays; it's hard to survive in this world!
"What’s this? While we old men are away, you brought Xiao Yu here to steal fish?" Old Liu exclaimed as he rushed towards Shi Tian. "Xiao Yu was such a good girl before! Now look at how you've led her astray!" He blocked all of Shi Tian's escape routes.
Ignoring Old Liu's words, Shi Tian continued to examine the Xiao Yu in his hands, wanting to scrutinize every scale. He occasionally furrowed his brows and let out a sigh.
What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this fish? Old Kong and the others had already come over. Seeing Shi Tian fixated on a fish, they grew anxious. Was there an issue with the fish feed?
The lighting here is a bit dim! I can’t see clearly! I’m not too sure; let’s go inside and take a look! Let’s grab a strong flashlight and examine it properly! The atmosphere was tense as Shi Tian furrowed his brow and said this, turning to head indoors.
The phrase “not too sure” made the old men’s hearts leap into their throats. They had been busy for half a month, treating this entire pool of fish like their ancestors. And now he casually mentioned uncertainty?
As soon as the door opened, all the lights were turned on, and the old men began rummaging through the Fishing Box for a strong flashlight, while Shi Tian took the opportunity to glance back.
He noticed Li Ziyu quietly slipping out with a small bucket in each hand, sneaking toward the yard's entrance before turning onto the path and dashing straight towards the villa area.
