The fishing rod was cast, and a fish that resembled both a Carp and a Mai Sui came up, about the size of a palm. Shi Tian examined the hook for a long time; it was his first time catching such a fish. This was a Stone Carp, specifically the Wuzhishan Stone Catfish, known for its good meat quality. Seeing Shi Tian studying the little fish, the Lobster turned to glance and casually remarked something before pulling out his phone to play a Ghost Story, which perfectly matched the mood.
The Stone Carp was only found in the south and was likely related to the mudfish. He took out his phone to snap a picture, removed the hook, and tossed the fish back into the river. It was too small to eat; if it had been larger, it might have been worth keeping, but this one would just be a waste.
There were plenty of rare fish species around; despite this little Wuzhishan Stone Catfish not being enough to fill a gap in one's teeth, it still had decent points. A fish like this could easily be worth several points, maybe even dozens.
He baited the hook again and cast the line, turned off the light, and sent the photo to their group chat before continuing to fish. As the Ghost Story played, A Piao Ge felt like cursing. Not only had they taken over his fishing spot, but these two were also singing and joking around while he had been swatting mosquitoes for over an hour! They must have noticed him but chose not to acknowledge him, leaving him to suffer in silence.
He turned off the speaker and pulled out a cigarette, only to realize he had forgotten his lighter. "Hey guys, can I borrow a light?" He stepped up behind Shi Tian and offered a cigarette while greeting the three of them. He planned to grab a hand rod soon and cast a few lines himself.
"Whoa! Dude, it's late at night! Why are you dressed like that? Trying to scare people?" When he shone his headlamp on A Piao Ge's head, he was surprised and pulled out his lighter to help A Piao Ge light up.
"Blame me? You guys are just too jumpy!" Hearing Shi Tian's words made A Piao Ge feel wronged. "Who's scaring whom here? You took my fishing spot and then have the nerve to say I'm scaring you?"
However, he couldn't voice this complaint since Lobster had already changed clothes and had no evidence against him. Besides, Lobster remained silent while watching him fish quietly from start to finish. It was A Piao Ge who had scared himself away; there was no way to pick a fight with someone who didn't engage.
As midnight approached, the fish weren't biting well. Night fishing relied more on evening bites and early morning catches. If they missed the evening bite, they would set up camp for the night and get up early for morning fishing.
Shi Tian and his friends played this way; after midnight, they would set up camp. Once everything was ready, they left their gear there since A Piao Ge was keeping watch while they returned to their car to sleep.
In Tea Dong Ancient City, Shi Tian had an agreement he needed to fulfill now that summer vacation had arrived. He headed over to Cha Dong with Li Ziyu to open their Fishing Tackle Shop. They set off some firecrackers, and within an hour, a little boy came running over with a rod.
Hong Shun—Shi Tian remembered this boy's name well. The first time he visited Cha Dong, he had gone fishing for Yellow Catfish with him. Before leaving last time, Shi Tian lent Hong Shun his rod and fishing net; back then, Hong Shun promised he would return them once the shop opened. It seemed he kept his word because less than an hour after opening, Hong Shun showed up.
Later on, Shi Tian and Li Ziyu visited Cha Dong a couple more times but hadn’t seen Hong Shun again until now; seeing him brought joy to his heart.
"Shun Shun! Out fishing again? This shop is run by my sister; if you want anything, just ask her!" When Li Ziyu saw Hong Shun at their newly opened Fishing Tackle Shop, she felt quite pleased.
She recognized Hong Shun from her first visit to Cha Dong when he appeared as a model on her drawing board. She had paid him a small fee for half an afternoon of modeling; she still kept that drawing safe.
However, after learning about Hong Shun's background, seeing him on her drawing board again lost its childlike charm because Hong Shun wasn't fishing for fun—he was carrying a heavy burden instead.
