Chapter 38 Frenzied Nesting, a Giant Catcher!
"Old Wang, watch closely."
Boss Li swung handfuls of bait into the water.
The calm water surface was rippled by the impact.
The old woman stood by, watching helplessly as a bowl of grain turned to foam. Finally, she sighed, turned away, and couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"This boss... is really rich."
The old lady whispered something to the simple-minded uncle.
Old Wang couldn't help but frown as he watched Boss Li's frantic efforts to attract customers.
He leaned close to Boss Li's ear.
"Old Li, didn't you... hit too much?"
"If you put this whole bowl down, the fish will be full."
Boss Li stopped what he was doing and gave a mysterious smile.
"Old Wang, this is what you don't understand."
"Our approach to fishing for giant fish is completely different from our approach to fishing for small whitebait."
After listening, Old Wang didn't know how to refute it.
"...Old Li, I'm going fishing over there."
Old Wang carried his fishing box and quietly moved to the other side of the reservoir.
He cast his line into the water from the other end, then lay down on the folding bed, ready to enjoy himself.
Time slowly passed.
The sun has risen.
"Old Li..."
Old Wang called out from afar.
"How's it going? Any movement?"
"No movement."
Mr. Li's voice came through.
"Don't speak."
Old Wang rolled his eyes and continued to lie flat.
Boss Li also started to have some doubts.
"That's not right."
"Logically speaking, even if there are no big fish, there should be a group of small fish vying for the food after I put this basin down."
"Why isn't there even a single bubble on the surface of the water?"
He subtly observed Old Wang for a moment.
"He...he's not lying to me, is he? A fishing rod that costs several thousand yuan, if he's just bragging, it's possible it could break on its own...?"
Just then.
"Boss!"
A voice came from behind.
Boss Li turned around and saw two villagers wearing reflective vests from the construction site.
"Could you please move your car?"
The villager pointed to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class that Boss Li had parked at the intersection.
"The construction site needs a truck carrying materials, and your truck is blocking the way."
"Okay, I'll move the car right away!"
Boss Li agreed, but in his heart he was thinking...
"If there's still no sign of life in this nest after I move the car and come back... I'm definitely going to have to pay for a few chickens from that old Wang with his big mouth!"
He had just gotten up.
"boom!!!"
The entire water surface was gone in that instant.
Right in front of all his bait in that area of water.
It was like a giant hand reaching up.
A huge wave of water shot into the sky!
Boss Li raised half of his buttocks, then froze in mid-air.
"Bang!!!"
Followed by.
The float was pulled directly into the water, and then the fishing rod was dragged towards the center of the reservoir!
In the blink of an eye, Boss Li plunged into the water and grabbed the fishing rod that was being pulled away.
“!!!!!!”
Boss Li's pupils dilated to their maximum size instantly.
"There's a big fish! Awesome! Watch me out!"
The villagers standing nearby were speechless as they watched Boss Li standing in the water from the waist down.
"Um... Boss, are you going to move the car or not?"
"Move the car? What the hell do you mean, move the car?!"
Drag them wherever you want!
Tractor! Call a tractor! Just push it right into the ditch!
The car isn't important!
fast!
Old Wang!
Hey Wang! I've caught a fish! A big one!
Come here quickly, come here quickly!
The villagers were stunned by his series of ghostly howls.
The other side of the reservoir.
Old Wang ran wildly along the bank of the reservoir.
"Here it comes!"
The two of them worked together to reel in the fish for a long time.
The fish in the water finally showed signs of fatigue.
"Old Li...it's tired!"
"Slowly pull it back to shore!"
Beneath the surface of the water, the enormous dark shadow slowly approached.
"Closer...closer..."
Old Wang's voice was trembling.
"We've reached the shore..."
"Old Wang!"
"Wow, it's huge!"
"It's huge!"
"dip net!"
"dip net!"
"Whoa!!"
With a loud shout from Old Li.
A huge bluefish was pulled ashore.
"Holy crap..."
Old Wang was completely stunned.
His hand, holding the net, began to tremble uncontrollably.
"One...one hundred jin..."
"This fish..."
"At least 100 pounds!!!"
Mr. Li's face flushed red.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Old Wang!!! I really caught it!!!"
He laughed until tears streamed down his face.
In all his years of fishing, he had always dreamed of catching a fish like this.
He never imagined he could actually catch a fish like that.
……
Lin Jiayao, wearing a safety helmet and holding a registration form, stood at the edge of the construction site of the cold chain base.
The town's water, electricity, and internet departments, upon hearing there was money to be made, all sprang into action.
Beneath their feet was a newly compacted foundation, and excavators were swinging back and forth, continuously bringing in truckloads of building materials.
No one dislikes the noise from a construction site.
In the past, after the Lantern Festival, the village was mostly left with only the elderly and children.
But now.
Under a large tree next to the construction site, several middle-aged women sat on low stools picking vegetables, their conversation filled with leisure.
"My son said he's moving back in a couple of days, and he's bringing his wife with him!"
"My family did the same thing. We had already bought the tickets, but we had to cancel them later."
"It's good that you retired. Being together as a family is better than anything else."
Lin Yan held Xier's hand and strolled leisurely through the village.
They've been back for so long, and it's been a long time since they've discussed magic theory. Back when they were lords, they not only had to manage their territory, but they also had to go to school among the elves and listen to their mother-in-law's magic lessons. It was really tiring.
Taking a walk is Lin Yan's favorite thing to do now. He holds his wife's hand and they stroll along leisurely.
After walking a few more steps, he encountered several young construction workers taking a break. When they saw Lin Yan, they all stood up to greet him.
"Brother Lin Yan!"
"President Lin!"
"Hello, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Yan smiled and waved his hand.
That's more like it.
"Once all the roads in the village are repaired, I'm going to buy a luxury car."
Syl tilted his head.
"Luxury car?"
He paused, then thought about it and felt increasingly pleased.
"Then we can use magic crystals to provide magic power and occasionally go on long trips for a few days!"
at this time,
A burst of engine roared.
Two vehicles, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class and a Ford Warrior, drove through the village.
All eyes were on the roof of the G-Class.
A fish was tied to the roof of the car.
It was over a meter long, and its tail was still twitching, slapping against the rear window of the car with each twitch.
The G-Wagon drove along the asphalt road toward the village entrance.
The villagers along the roadside all came to watch the spectacle.
"Where...where did this fish come from? This fish is bigger than my grandson!"
"Wow, this is huge!"
"One hundred pounds! That's definitely over one hundred pounds!"
"Was it caught in our reservoir?!"
Lin Yan stood by the roadside, watching the G-Wagon disappear.
"That fisherman is really something."
He sighed sincerely.
Siel stood beside him, also looking in the direction where the G-Wagon had disappeared.
She frowned slightly, her eyes thoughtful.
