“In that case, let’s go fishing tomorrow. There aren’t many soldiers around, so we might run into the old farmer. We don’t have any ropes, so we can borrow some from him. We can also bring a few more people and give some to the old farmer as a thank you for lending us the ropes!”
After he said this, Chi Yaotai completely disregarded Yu Shao. He only wanted to eat his fill, so he quickly nodded. Soon, the two of them agreed on a plan. However, since the grilled fish was only about a pound, they were clearly not full after eating. So, they returned to the inn and asked the owner to cook a few more dishes. After finishing their meal, they went to sleep.
After they finished eating, they went back to sleep. These few days were the most relaxing for Qin Wu. Without Shen Gongbao, they would send people to attack them. So, these few days were perfect for fishing. The next morning, the two of them were excited and went to the river to fish.
When they arrived at the riverbank, it was the same old spot, under the willow tree. Since they didn't have a rope, they waited quietly for the old farmer to come. But after waiting for a while, the old farmer didn't come, which puzzled them. Could it be that the old farmer wasn't coming today?
You know, when I was chatting with him yesterday, I clearly heard that Lao Long could make money by fishing, so he came almost every day. But Qin Wu didn't know what time he meant by "every day," so he had to wait here. After waiting for about two or three hours, he still hadn't come.
This made Chi Yaotai, who was standing nearby, a little anxious. He hadn't expected the old man to not come over, so the two of them were very bored. Then Number 1 spoke up and offered his opinion to Qin Wu.
"Since that's the case, it's obvious that the old farmer isn't coming this morning. Anyway, it's already morning, so let's come over after we've had lunch. Now let's hurry up and go play on the street next door."
Chapter 729 Cooking Fish (6)
Anyway, there aren't any elderly farmers on the surrounding streets. If there are, we can just avoid them!
After he finished speaking, Qin Wu could only nod. Anyway, he didn't know when the old farmer would come. Then he went for a walk on the street next to him, had lunch, and then came to the willow tree by the river. When they arrived at this old spot, they finally met the old farmer, who was carrying some feed and a fishing rod.
When they arrived at this place, the old man who was in charge saw Shu Heng coming with a woman, which deliberately made him pause. Then, he quickly remembered that Qin Wu had given him two fish the day before, so he smiled and asked Qin Wu.
"I really didn't expect you to be fishing again today. It seems you brought your wife along. So, it seems the reason you came fishing is because the food you cooked yesterday was really delicious. To make this, the fish in the river must be incredibly tasty!"
After saying this, he nodded, his hand not moving. Since we had mistakenly thought he and you were husband and wife, he would let the other party misunderstand that it was just about a house. He didn't care. However, it was not easy to find such a woman. He hadn't expected that this old man would often misunderstand. But seeing Chu Wenjing's smug smile...
She patted Qin Wu without saying anything, and then Qin Wu spoke to the old farmer.
"Actually, we came here today just as you thought, to fish. We waited here this morning, but you didn't come for almost two or three hours, so we came this afternoon. I don't know why you didn't come to fish this morning!"
When Dandan said that, we burst into laughter. It was clear that Qin Wu's question had stirred up some controversy, so the storage department also noticed it. They wondered what the problem was. So they looked at Lao Long and asked him to explain. Lao Long then explained everything in detail.
"Actually, we can't blame you young people. After all, professional anglers usually only go out to fish in the afternoon. So, they usually fish from the afternoon to the evening. In the morning, the fish are almost inactive, so even if you come to fish for one type of fish, you won't catch many!"
·· ··Requesting flowers·· ···
After he said this, Qin Wu and the woman exchanged a glance, both with a wry smile in their eyes. They hadn't expected that after waiting so long, it would be for this reason. So the two of them felt a little awkward. Then Qin Wu got straight to the point.
0 ..... .......
"In that case, the matter is clear now. Old farmer, could you lend us two more ropes? I'll cut two branches from this willow tree for the bamboo poles. We'll only take a few fish we catch, and the rest are yours, do you want them?"
After he said that, the old farmer naturally agreed, since he had given the other person the bamboo pole, and the other person had caught a lot of fish after doing so.
Chapter 730 Trading Time for Speed (7)
Then he was very excited to have this, he had extra money to earn, and the other person looked like someone who didn't lack money, fishing was just to pass the time, and because he was exchanging time for happiness, he took out two ropes and gave them to the two of them.
After obtaining the rope, Qin Wu took two branches from the willow tree branch next to him, and then he and Chi Yaotai began to hoist them up. However, one of the more unexpected things was that although Chi Yaotai loved to eat fish, she didn't know how to fish.
Qin Wu wasn't interested in this situation, but since the other person didn't know how to fish, he figured he could teach her. So he started teaching her slowly, and during the teaching process, she quickly caught a fish. When the fish fell to the ground, it really startled her, since she had never fished before.
So after catching the fish, he was pleasantly surprised because he felt that fishing was so much fun, watching himself pull the fish out of the water.
While enjoying the pleasure of fishing at Chiyao Terrace, the girl, after being taught how to fish, fished by herself, having a great time. It must be said that the girl was very lucky; in just half an hour, she caught three fish, which really impressed the old man, who was a frequent fisherman.
Therefore, he was almost the kind of person who was very good at fishing, so it was already very lucky for him to catch one fish in half an hour. However, Chi Yaotai was able to catch three fish in half an hour, which really shocked her.
However, while he was shocked, he was also very excited. If the fish continued to fall at this rate, he could get dozens of them today. They would only need 10 at most, so he could have all the remaining dozens. He could then sell these fish for a good amount of money and use that money to buy some good food.
He would take it back to his son to eat, so that if Qin Wu and the others came in the future, he could take advantage of them again, and he would only have lent them the ropes.
So, their conversation flowed so freely, and they chatted happily, hoping to build a good relationship so they could come fishing together often and he could give them the fish he caught. Qin Wu knew what they were thinking, so he didn't mind...
Moreover, they might really come in the next few days, so unless we agree to the old farmer's request that they come fishing in the next few days, and that they catch a few fish at most, and give the rest of the fish to the old farmer.
After hearing their promise, Lao Long couldn't stop smiling. He never expected such a good thing to fall from the sky. So, while the group was chatting, Chi Yaotai, although not as lucky as before, still caught two or three fish in the next half hour, which was still very gratifying.
However, compared to Chiyaotai, Qin Wu was quite unlucky at this moment. He had caught three fish yesterday afternoon and was quite pleased with himself, thinking he was very remarkable. But now, compared to Chiyaotai, which caught four fish in an hour, Qin Wu was now only catching one fish in that same time.
Chapter 731 Fishing Luck (1)
Qin Wu was quite embarrassed that he hadn't caught a single fish, and then he said to Li Minghao with some resentment.
"I really didn't expect you to be able to catch four fish in an hour. I only managed to catch three yesterday afternoon. But don't get too cocky. Maybe my luck hasn't come yet. When my luck turns, I might be able to catch more than ten fish in an hour, who knows!"
They dismissed the idea that "corroded fish are good-looking" with utter disdain, clearly seeing it as boasting. Therefore, he directly refuted and attacked Qin Wudao.
"Unless you stop bragging, I know you caught three fish yesterday, but don't be complacent. As the saying goes, there's always a comparison when there's a gap. Are you feeling the comparison now, and feeling unbalanced, wanting to say these things to save face? But let me tell you, you can't catch up with me. My luck will definitely be better than yours."
"And you haven't caught a single fish, while I've already caught four. Let's see how you compare now!"
Qin Wu felt a surge of anger upon hearing his words. Since the other party dared to provoke him, he thought, "Why don't we have a competition?" So he said somewhat resentfully, "I really want to come here and follow Chi Yaotai."
"Since that's the case, how about this: we have a competition? This afternoon, we'll see who catches the most fish. Whoever catches the most fish will grill it tonight, and the other person can just relax and wait for the fish to be grilled before we eat. What do you say?"
He was overjoyed when he said that he was Lu Yihao, because he had already improved his fishing skills. Anyway, he had caught 4 more fish than his opponent, so it was impossible for the opponent to surpass him.
So he readily agreed to the bet, thinking he definitely wouldn't take action that night. Qin Wu thought this and the worker next to him burst into laughter, not expecting the two of them to be so funny.
So, without hesitation, the two quickly started competing. However, the next half hour was quite awkward again, because he didn't fall again in the next half hour. In other words, he was very lucky and actually fell two Qin Wu within half an hour, and his face turned pale and then red.
An hour and a half has passed, and Qin Wu hasn't caught a single fish, while Chi Yaotai has caught five. As for Brain Pus, well, that goes without saying.
Because the old farmer cook, like them, caught five fish after an hour and a half, just like Chi Yaotai, which made him extremely happy. He usually couldn't catch that many fish in an hour and a half, so he felt that his luck was due to Qin Wu and the others being there, and that he was taking advantage of their luck.
So Qin Wu couldn't help but ask the old farmer why he was so unlucky. The old farmer just made a joke, saying that he had taken away Qin Wu's luck from the river goddess, which was why she was able to catch so many fish today. Maybe it was because you were too lucky.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu's eyes lit up. If what the old man said was true, it was because the girl was so lucky, then he should try to share in her luck; perhaps he could have a lucky streak himself.
Chapter 732 Luck (2)
So she ran up to him, patted the luck she was standing on, and then went fishing.
If you don't think it's luck at all, but just the result of his strength, then he continues fishing. However, what Chi Yaotai didn't expect was that Qin Wu caught three fish in an hour, while Chi Yaotai only caught one. This made the girl a little unhappy, and then she said to Qin Wu.
"If I really didn't expect you to benefit from my luck, losing three fish in an hour, and now that the luck has fallen on you, then don't blame me!"
He had just said these words about this life when Chi Yaotai, just like Qin Wu had done before, patted him on the shoulder and stuck with his luck. Qin Wu had originally wanted to leave him, but was patted away by Chi Yaotai and could only smile wryly. He hoped that his luck would continue to be so good.
So, without Qin Wu's help, for the next half hour, the two of them caught the same number of fish, each catching two fish within half an hour, which can be said to be evenly matched.
However, despite this, there is still a gap between the two of them at this moment. Chi Yaotai caught three more fish than him, so Qin Wu needs to catch three more fish than him again to have any chance of winning the competition.
So, without hesitation, Chi Yaotai hurriedly started falling into the rain again. Meanwhile, the old man next to her was quite excited today, probably because the two of them were really lucky, as he had caught nearly 10 fish.
However, after catching 10 fish, the old woman suddenly noticed something was wrong with the water. She felt that her fishing rod was very heavy, and she hurriedly said to Qin Wu and Chi Yaotai beside her.
"Come here, I think I've fallen into some heavy rain again today. But this rain must be really heavy, I'm still underwater. Come quickly and help me, maybe we can pull me down..."
But after hearing what Grandma said, the two of them were very curious and wondered how old this older sister was, so they quickly went to the side. Because the old farmer was not in good health, Qin Wu directly told the old farmer to wait on the side while he pulled the fish up. He patted his chest and said that there would be absolutely no problem.
So the old farmer had no choice but to let Qin Wu go up alone, use the bamboo pole to take the fish out, while Chi Yaotai and the old farmer just watched from the sidelines, cheering her on.
So Qin Wu quickly realized that after pulling for almost a minute, he still hadn't managed to pull the big fish up. Moreover, the pulling force was extremely strong. The small fish, just as the old man had told him yesterday, was probably even larger, weighing at least thirty or forty jin (a unit of weight), otherwise the pulling force wouldn't be so strong.
So Qin Wu couldn't help but feel as if he was engaged in a tug-of-war with this 30-40 jin fish, just to see who had the more strength. But Qin Wu didn't care. Even if he had no strength, he could unleash his magic power. If that didn't work, he could simply use his magic power to catch the fish out of the water. But using magic power would be pointless.
Chapter 733 Fishing with Magic (3)
After Qin Wu had been pulling for thirty or forty minutes, he was already sweating profusely without even realizing it. He felt that the fish would struggle for another 40 minutes before he could finally pull it up, because the fish was too strong.
Seeing this situation, Qin Wu had no choice but to apply the law under the old farmer's shocked gaze. Soon, a thin stream of the law entered the river and quickly focused on the 40-pound fish.
The large fish was then knocked unconscious by the force, so when Qin Wu felt the fish pass out, he quickly spoke to Chi Yaotai and the old farmer beside him.
"Come and see, I've pulled this fish up. Look how big this fish is! It must weigh at least 40 jin, maybe even 50 jin!" Chu Fan said as he pulled the fish up. Because this fish was prohibited from being transported by law, it was brought ashore with the help of Qin Wu and Chi Yaotai.
After being pulled ashore, the old farmer was filled with awe for Qin Wu. He hadn't expected that if it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to pull it up in 40 minutes, let alone 1 or 2 hours. Qin Wu had managed to pull it up in just 40 minutes. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking how lucky Qin Wu was to be a young man. He realized that he himself wouldn't have been able to pull it up at all.
However, just as he was lamenting these things, Qin Wu arrived in Lhasa. At this time, for Qin Wu and his group, this fish was far too much for them to finish, and it would be a waste to keep it. So, before Qin Wu could speak, Chi Yaotai spoke to the old man beside him.
"We caught some fish, and even if we wanted them, we couldn't finish them all, so we'll just give them to you." After he said this, the old farmer was stunned. He didn't expect the two to be so generous. They were indeed children from wealthy families, otherwise they wouldn't be so generous. So he thanked them profusely.
Then they immediately wanted to invite the two of them to their home, because after about thirty or forty minutes, they were really grateful to Qin Wu. They wanted to invite him to their home to cook a meal to thank him for catching such a big fish and to give him a gift.
Moreover, the old farmer knew very well that he couldn't lift it at all, and this 40-pound fish was just the right size for Qin Wu to help him carry back, so Qin Wu readily agreed.
Then, right before the old farmer's eyes, Qin Wu single-handedly carried the large fish, which weighed nearly 50 jin (25 catties), while the smaller fish beside him were simply being carried by Chi Yaotai and the old farmer. The old farmer led Qin Wu and Lü Yihao towards his home, and as they walked, he told Qin Wu that they were incredibly lucky today.
Moreover, as they were talking about this, after the old farmer entered the village, everyone around him couldn't help but cast strange glances at him.
Chapter 734 Shock (4)
Although they glanced at the old farmer, their real focus was on Qin Wu, who was walking behind him. Qin Wu was carrying a large fish weighing about 50 jin (25 catties) on his shoulder, which shocked everyone. They hadn't expected this young man to be able to carry such a big fish.
It's quite remarkable that someone of that age could carry such a large fish, as it's very ornate and difficult to catch. To be able to carry it on one's shoulder without it falling requires considerable skill.
However, these people knew perfectly well that he hadn't actually cut the fish into his body like the others; he only did it through legal means. So he could only smile and laugh. Chi Yaotai, standing beside him, didn't say anything, since such a thing couldn't be known by ordinary people.
However, at this moment, Chi Yaotai, who was standing next to him, did not say anything. She knew that if things continued to develop in this way, it would definitely shock others. But since that was the case, it didn't matter. At the same time, these people's attention was no longer on their single gaze.
Instead, they kept asking us how we managed to catch such a big fish today. They knew the old man was a fisherman in the village, but what they didn't know was that he had never caught such a big fish before. Even the ones he had caught in the past few years were tiny. He had never caught such a big fish in all those years, and now, after all these years, he was so lucky to have caught such a large one.
However, amidst everyone's envious voices, because these people knew very well that the old farmer had caught such a big fish, he would definitely be able to sell it for a very good price at the market tomorrow. So, besides being envious, they also marveled at the old man's incredible luck. How could he be so lucky as to catch such a big fish in just one day?
