Wu Shukong remained tight-lipped, leaving Inn Brother no choice but to awkwardly shift his attention to Shi Tian on the other side. After all, Shi Tian was his tenant, and a tenant who loved fishing at that; it was essential to engage him in conversation!
Suddenly, a crisp crack echoed through the air, and the elderly man exclaimed in a thick Cantonese accent, instantly drawing both their gazes.
"Wow!" As soon as he finished speaking, Inn Brother's voice chimed in from the left, still heavily laced with Cantonese. Shi Tian felt it was his duty to correct them!
"Wow!" he replied in perfect Mandarin, certified and all! The moment he spoke, their eyes locked onto him, filled with an intensity that felt almost threatening. Shi Tian sensed the temperature around him drop a few degrees!
Since you all exclaimed, it would be disrespectful for me not to join in! But given the atmosphere, he truly lacked the courage to try it out!
What a pity! That fish must weigh over twenty pounds; it was flipping around and about to be landed. If only this rod would cooperate a little more! Feeling awkward, Shi Tian turned his gaze back to his float, deciding not to engage in their banter any longer.
A sharp clap sounded from beside him.
Shi Tian fixated on his float, mentally noting that this was just the first tug; such a large fish wouldn’t be caught without at least ten tries! He figured he would probably think back on this moment for days to come!
Irritated with himself, he smacked his thigh and opened his rod bag, pulling out a reinforced steel rod. He attached a thick line and large hook baited up and cast it out with determination—he had to catch that big fish!
“Take your time being angry; my Wo Liao is making waves now,” he thought as bubbles appeared on the water's surface. However, they weren’t in a long string—definitely not carp!
Once the bubbles subsided and his float remained still, he felt hopeful. A big fish must have entered the area; perhaps it was the little carp he had just released calling for its parents? But this Fish Star didn’t seem like a carp at all!
With so many plastic particles in the area, if that big fish monopolized them all, when would it ever bite his hook?
Stay steady! Hold still and wait! That fish would eventually take the bait!
Ten minutes passed without a single bite. Meanwhile, Inn Brother had caught a palm-sized carp upstream.
It made sense that Inn Brother was catching fish since he was upstream of Shi Tian. The Wo Liao wouldn’t affect him much anyway; there was no need for Shi Tian to throw in more Crucian Carp bait just to make Inn Brother’s fishing easier—he probably wouldn’t even catch anything with it.
At this point, he couldn’t risk using Wo Liao; there were big fish around now. If he scared them away with a handful of Wo Liao, who would he complain to?
Another five or six minutes passed before Inn Brother caught another small fish that Shi Tian didn’t recognize. Still, nothing stirred on his end!
Had the plastic particles on his hook dispersed? That shouldn’t be the case! This wasn’t just any feed; it was specially designed for fishing and had been tested personally—it could last half an hour in water!
If nothing happened in another ten minutes, I’ll change the bait!
Resolute, he pulled out a cigarette and put it between his lips. He couldn’t light it yet; otherwise, the sound of the lighter would scare away any nearby fish. He thought about buying an electric arc lighter later—the noise was minimal—and if it had heating wires, even better!
Just as Shi Tian was about to reel in his rod, his float began to show signs of life—it bobbed slightly! Finally! The big guy had arrived! He just hoped that the bait on his hook could withstand this tug; if it came loose now, it would be troublesome!
To his dismay, the fish tugging at the float was likely a grass carp! Carp typically fed with their lips facing downward while grazing along the bottom. Only grass carp and carp would raise their heads while feeding; they’d first nudge at the float before tasting whether the bait suited their palate.
The rod lifted up and then slowly descended, bit by bit. Shi Tian pressed his hand against the rod, squinting his eyes to feel how far the big fish had taken the bait!
He raised the rod sharply, lowering the butt to avoid losing it.
A sound echoed out, and four pairs of eyes shot over from both sides. A smirk appeared at the corner of Shi Tian's mouth; he was steady now—the rod was up, and this fish was unlikely to escape!
Crack! Another crisp sound came from the side, and there was Seventh Uncle lamenting again!
The hook was deep and secure. Shi Tian was no longer nervous; he could only enjoy the moment!
Old man, this fish is definitely not the one you let go; that fish's mouth is still sore, so it won't bite again so quickly. As long as he could be patient, there was still a chance!
Patience was something the old man surely had; it was just that the fish had probably hidden away after being played with for so long!
While Shi Tian was making noises, the two on his left had completely lost their focus on fishing. Every tug sent shivers down their spines as they waited for him to shout in excitement!
"Bro, take it easy, be careful with the rod!" Wiping sweat off his pants, Inn Brother nervously reminded him as he saw the force Shi Tian was exerting.
A small fish, at most around forty pounds—he had caught one weighing over a hundred and forty before, so this one was nothing! Seizing the opportunity to show off a bit, Shi Tian maintained his grip; as long as the fish didn’t make a strong move, he wouldn’t let out any line.
