"Let's sign the agreement now, and once it's done, I'll transfer the money to you! I want to get this settled as soon as possible!" Li Ziyu was eager to finalize everything.
However, Aunt Zhang was in a hurry to go camping with Old Zhang. If they signed the agreement now and got everything sorted out, their camping plans for today would be ruined!
"Not today, I have other matters to attend to! How about this: come back with me, and I'll give you the keys first. Tomorrow, I'll finalize the agreement and call you. We can sign then; it won't be too late!"
Pulling out her phone, Aunt Zhang noted down Li Ziyu's number. She quickly ran home and brought back the keys to the two storefronts for Li Ziyu.
Following the location sent by Shi Tian, Wang Ergou found Shi Tian's car. However, looking around, he felt confused—where was the road? Surely he wasn't expected to trudge through the bushes!
"Xiao Tian, I've arrived; I'm at your car! Where are you? How do I get there?" Since he couldn't find a path, Wang Ergou picked up his phone and called Shi Tian.
Upon receiving Wang Ergou's call, Shi Tian glanced at his watch. It had only taken Wang Ergou a little over forty minutes to arrive after sending the location—impressive speed!
"Park your car by the roadside and walk a hundred meters ahead. On your right, you'll see some branches in the bushes. Push through the bushes for about five meters, and you'll find a small path. Follow that path, and you'll reach me!"
Shi Tian had not used branches for his location marker; he wasn't sure what method Wang Ergou had used. To help remember this spot, Shi Tian had placed a branch at the entrance of the bushes; otherwise, in such a pathless area, even navigation wouldn't help!
Wang Ergou followed Shi Tian's directions as he maneuvered through the bushes. Calmly's drone had already circled above Shi Tian's head before returning.
Once they reached the fishing spot, Calmly retrieved his drone. Their speed noticeably increased as they spotted Shi Tian and Wang Ergou's cars just a few minutes later.
They parked their vehicle, shouldered their gear, and regardless of whether there was a path or not, everyone rushed eagerly into the bushes!
"Here you go! The live shrimp you wanted!" Wang Ergou tossed the shrimp to Shi Tian while focusing on a video on his phone to confirm their fishing spot.
In the video, that bro had caught fish here in less than two hours—he lost one line after another! The fishing here was too good; they couldn't bring anyone else along! With live shrimp in hand, Shi Tian quickly reeled in his line and hooked on a shrimp while reminding Wang Ergou not to forget anything!
"Don't worry! My driving skills are top-notch; I left no trace behind! Think they can follow me? They can't even see my taillights!" Standing confidently at Bao Gan Ge before their fishing spot, Wang Ergou replied as he pulled out an Iso Rod from his rod bag and began setting up his line.
There was only one road from Fishing Tackle Shop to Liudao Bay, but there were many offshoots along the way—some leading to docks and others to different fishing spots. Covering seven or eight kilometers filled with docks and fishing spots made finding a single vehicle quite challenging.
After setting up his line and attaching a live shrimp, he cast it gently; he wasn't aiming for small fish—his target was big ones!
"Dog Brother, how's the bite?"
Just after casting his hook, Calmly emerged from the bushes with his Lure Rod bag slung over his shoulder and laughed as he approached Wang Ergou from behind.
"Just got here; no bites yet!" He instinctively replied but suddenly realized something was off. Just as he turned around, he saw his float shudder before sinking beneath the water.
He lifted his rod to set the hook; feeling a jolt in his hand as line screamed off the reel. Wang Ergou didn't care who was behind him anymore; he needed to control that fish first!
"Damn it!" Seeing this unfold, Calmly wasted no time—he dropped his rod bag on the ground, pulled out a rod, rigged it with a jig, and cast it into the water!
"Damn it!" Shi Tian exclaimed as he heard the commotion nearby. Turning around, he was not greeted by the sight of Wang Ergou reeling in a fish, but rather a swaying patch of grass. One by one, fishermen emerged from it, their fishing gear slung over their shoulders. Shi Tian's face turned pale!
What a great fishing spot! He hadn't even started fishing yet, and already a huge crowd of fishermen had arrived! How was he supposed to enjoy himself now?
He silently turned back, staring at his float. While this group of fishermen was still setting up their rods, he hoped for a big catch! Even if it was just a one-time fishing spot, he wanted to land a big fish to kick things off, just to make a statement!
Wang Ergou's fish had yet to surface when over a dozen fishermen surged in. The sound of rods being cast echoed continuously, making Shi Tian too scared to even lift his head.
He had shared a video of his catch in the group chat but hadn’t posted about the fishing spot. Although he hadn’t checked his phone, he could imagine the uproar that was happening in there.
Now that he was stuck here, all he could do was try to diminish his presence and hope Wang Ergou would hook a big fish soon, allowing everyone to forget about him not sharing the fishing spot!
His float bobbed, and as he lifted his rod to reel in, Shi Tian was taken aback.
He had caught a crab! And it was still alive, with one claw hooked onto the line!
As soon as the crab hit the shore, before Shi Tian could react, it deftly removed the hook with its other claw and, with a flurry of legs, plopped back into Hai Li in the blink of an eye!
Shi Tian thought to himself: This crab has become sentient!
