Justice! This standard deserves a mention; wait for me, and I'll treat you to some liquor! With gratitude, I glanced at Shi Tian, feeling that this favor had elevated our bond.
As Rod mentioned it, a small Bitterling came up. My arm felt a bit sore from the effort. With such a catch, I couldn't let it go to waste; otherwise, it would be unfair to the brothers nearby who were using their Wo Liao!
I shook my wrist, baited the hook, and cast my line again, ready to continue the battle! As long as there’s life, there’s struggle.
With a float bobbing, Shi Tian pulled up a small Carp weighing about three taels. Finally, he could put down his guard. I looked at Shi Tian's Carp and then at the pile in Yu Hu; even if I caught ten fish, none would be as big as that Carp. What a pity!
Keep it up! If the quality isn't enough, let's make up for it with quantity! As long as I persist, the next cast might yield a big fish!
A large Hei Piao came up; I quickly lifted my rod and pulled in a Huang La. It left me speechless! Da Tian, what are you doing here with your Huang La? Don’t you need to sleep?
This Huang La was of decent size, but it bit too aggressively; it had swallowed the hook whole. I couldn’t use the blocking needle to retrieve it, so I had to put my left hand's Bait into my pocket first and get the Hook out!
After retrieving the Hook and shaking my arms a bit, I turned around to see Shi Tian had caught another Carp, this one even bigger than the last. I quickly baited my hook and cast again; I couldn't let Shi Tian surpass me. The fish were getting bigger; if Huang La was coming up, how far could the Carp be?
I pressed my Fishing Rod against my thigh and bent down to light a cigarette. Checking the time, I tucked away the cigarette and lighter into my pocket; I couldn’t let the reactionaries see this mental sustenance or they’d confiscate it mercilessly!
While enjoying my smoke, another Hei Piao came up—this time a Striped Catfish that was larger than the previous one. Not bad; progress was being made!
While smoking, I learned a new skill: after casting my line, I pressed the Rod against my left leg. Though not very elegant, it saved quite a bit of effort and allowed me to keep going longer.
After sacrificing dozens of Mai Sui Tang Bao, my fishing technique upgraded to Second Generation. Given time, there might even be Third and Fourth Generations; who knows? I could eventually create a whole school of fishing!
As the sun rose higher in the sky, I was taken away by a woman in a Black Skirt. Despite my protests, she packed up Yu Hu and stuffed it into the Fishing Box.
She placed the Fishing Box and my retracted Rod on my lap and turned to push me away. "Brother, we’ll fish again in the afternoon! Let’s meet up later!" As the wheelchair rolled further away, my voice faded until it disappeared with the sound of a closing car door.
Watching Shi Tian leave filled me with reluctance. What a shame about those two Wo Liao; there should still be plenty of fish in that spot. Not having let him catch them all left me with some regrets!
It wasn’t that I couldn’t part with those two Carp Baits or Grass Carp Baits; even if we reeled in big fish now, Bro wouldn’t be able to pull them up!
If something went wrong and he fell from his wheelchair or if he caught too many big fish too frequently, his hands might not hold up!
Waving goodbye to Bro, I took out half a bag of Carp Bait. But glancing at the time again, I decided to put it back—better not!
I have to hurry back for dinner soon. I'm setting up the nest again, but I won't wait for it to settle before leaving. It always feels like a bit of a waste!
