The method was right, and the fish were becoming more plentiful. The Azure Tail Carp were biting, and the three of them were busy with their fishing.
"Hey! Are you eating? Just wait a moment! We have some matters to discuss here, we'll eat later!" A phone call came in, and Li Yunlong casually said this. Once he hung up, he stuffed the phone into his pocket. The fish were biting well; who had time to eat?
He glanced at the time on his phone and then at Li Yunlong and Rod. Was this really the time to discuss business? Men in the mountains of Shu probably talked about business like this too!
Shi Tian rubbed his nose, feeling a bit more admiration for Li Yunlong. The rivers and mountains of Bashan looked desolate; it seemed they would have to rely on Yun Long to pave the way!
As dusk approached, Li Yunfei's phone rang. Hu Shuyi must be getting anxious!
"Hello! If you're hungry, go ahead and eat while we discuss business!" After finishing his sentence, he lifted his rod. There was a good-sized fish on the line, splashing in the water!
A fish was reeled in, and Shi Tian scratched his head. If he didn’t speak up now, Li Ziyu should be calling soon! In front of Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong, he couldn’t use the excuse of discussing business again!
"Uncle Fei, Uncle Long, it’s getting late. Should we stop fishing for now?"
He tossed a two-kilogram Azure Tail into the bucket and bent down to wash his hands. Li Yunfei squinted and said, "No rush. Do we have any glow floats? It’s going to get dark soon; if we don’t use glow floats, we won’t be able to see!"
Just as they were about to leave after catching a big fish? What a joke! Shi Tian had just said that Azure Tails could grow over three kilograms! How could they leave without catching one that size?
"No! I didn’t bring any! I came out with Xiao Yu and didn’t plan on night fishing, so I didn’t bring glow floats!" Upon hearing that Li Yunfei wanted glow floats, Shi Tian decisively shook his head.
"If you don’t go now, you’ll definitely want to go later when it’s dark! Look at the sky; we only have about half an hour left. I’ll secretly send a message to Li Ziyu first to settle her down!"
How could one go fishing without glow floats? Shi Tian muttered this under his breath as Li Yunlong stood up and walked towards Fishing Buddy. A moment later, he returned with three glow floats—one for each of them. Would they still be able to enjoy dinner tonight?
There was no other choice! He might as well send a message to Li Ziyu! If these two weren’t going, he had no way out!
Just as he finished composing the message, under Li Yunlong's intense gaze, he deleted it letter by letter. It seemed these two were determined to fish all night!
After all, Hu Shuyi was quite accommodating; she didn’t drive over directly to drag them away like some wives might do. Even Li Ziyu didn’t call to urge them; if they enjoyed fishing, let them fish!
They stopped fishing at eight o'clock. Only then did Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong reluctantly reel in their lines. Professionalism showed; they would need to invite Shi Tian along next time. The three of them had caught over twenty kilograms of fish that night—it was truly satisfying!
Looking at the catch in Li Yunfei's hands while Li Yunlong carried the Rod Bag, he patted Shi Tian on the shoulder with satisfaction. They would continue fishing tonight and learn how to catch Carp from Shi Tian!
"Uncle Fei, should I carry the fish? This bucket is dripping water; it’ll ruin your clothes!" As they walked up from the riverbank, Shi Tian felt a bit embarrassed looking at his empty hands.
"No need! I can manage! Just help Uncle Long carry the rod!" After kindly reminding Shi Tian, Li Yunfei quickened his pace and moved ahead.
Upon hearing that Li Yunfei wanted Shi Tian to carry his rod, Li Yunlong immediately handed over the Fishing Box: "You carry this; the rod is light enough for me!"
The Changsha Night Market was quite nice. They strolled along, passing through one night market and turning a corner before crossing another square. They ended up in a large shopping mall where they bought two packs of cigarettes.
Turning left when they exited and walking for ten minutes led them to a big supermarket where they bought a lighter. Shi Tian began to suspect these two were lost!
After finally arriving at the community, Shi Tian wandered around for a while before taking the elevator upstairs, her legs feeling quite worn out.
Once inside, she set her things down and greeted everyone one by one, but Li Yunlong had already gone back downstairs. A few minutes later, under Li Yunfei's watchful gaze, Li Yunlong returned, dragging along two battered fishing rods that looked almost beyond repair.
"Xiao Tian, let's go fishing by the river tonight. Your skills are pretty good; we’ll catch some carp!" Li Yunlong exclaimed, waving the broken rods in his hands as he pulled them apart piece by piece, even deliberately snapping the tip of one rod!
Was it really appropriate to talk about fishing in front of Hu Shuyi and Tian Run? It was already late in the day when they finally arrived. Although neither of them showed any displeasure, once I leave, who knows how they would end up groveling!
However, seeing the rods in Li Yunlong's hands made Shi Tian feel as if he had tragically trampled on Chu Shan Ba Shui! What a state! With a rod in hand and no care in his heart! Even with the rods in such poor condition, he still treated them like treasures!
In the realm of martial arts, this would be akin to a legendary broken sword! A true swordsman indeed!
"Uncle Long, those two you have are traditional rods, right?" She dared not agree to Li Yunlong's plan to go fishing again in front of Hu Shuyi and Tian Run; this was not a safe place for her small frame to handle. She needed to find a way to escape!
"Good eye! These two rods once had their glorious moments and accompanied me through many times! But every set of rods has its limits; I've recently noticed that these two are starting to struggle!"
With a melancholic sigh, Li Yunlong placed the rods on the TV cabinet and turned to the table—dinner was finally ready to be served!
"Uncle Long, even heroes grow old; they deserve a rest! I’ll have someone send you a new set of traditional rods to take over their duties!"
Watching Li Yunlong play the pity card made Li Yunfei want to hit him. Was it just about a few fishing rods? How could they compare to buying new ones?
Did Li Yunlong really lack that little bit of money? Certainly not. Even if he wanted them, he could easily buy a new set for himself!
It was just like when Shi Tian gifted him those two traditional rods; they weren’t worth much, but they were given by her son-in-law as his first present. It was impossible not to feel heartbroken when they were taken away by Li Yunlong!
