Chapter 438 Here Comes the Fish
Jing Chunxi, without any instruction, dipped the net bag into the water, letting it reach the deepest point he could reach.
She imitated the boatman's movements in catching water plants, swinging the bamboo pole vigorously with her arms, stirring it back and forth, left and right. The net bag drew ripples in the water, as if greeting the fish at the bottom of the water.
She held her breath and concentrated on feeling the movement of the net bag in the water. She seemed to hear the sound of fish swimming among the water plants.
Finally, she dipped the bamboo pole into the deepest water once again, took a deep breath, yelled "Got it," and quickly scooped it up. Her movements were seamless, as if she had become one with the river.
Everyone's mouth corners slightly raised as they cooperated with the young lady's movements. Chuntao and Tangshuang were worried that the young lady would use too much force, so they held her waist on both sides to prevent her from suddenly falling forward or flipping backward.
Everyone thought the young lady was acting, so they were just focused on watching her expressions and exaggerated movements. The people around her had no hope of catching any fish, and no one even took a look into the net bag.
Everyone was infected by the lady's seriousness, as if this fishing activity had turned into a wonderful performance.
It wasn't until Jing Chunxi excitedly shouted, "Fish! Haha! Big fish!" that everyone snapped back to reality. She was grinning so hard her eyes narrowed into slits, and if she hadn't been holding the net, she would have been dancing.
The net bag that was still dripping with water had been moved horizontally by Jing Chunxi and returned to the deck. The water suddenly dripped onto Chengrui's head, who had been sitting still.
"Oh! It's so cold!" Cheng Rui jumped up suddenly, completely changing his gentle and steady demeanor. He shook the water droplets from his head while complaining.
He was just sitting there watching the fun, but unexpectedly he became the "victim" of this accident. His hair was soaked by the water, and his clothes were also splashed with water droplets.
However, when he looked up and saw the fish in the net, all his complaints disappeared in an instant. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the scene. As they looked over, they completely ignored Cheng Rui, who was jumping up and down, shaking his head and clothes wildly. The fish in the net was jumping around too much. If Jing Chunxi hadn't quickly lowered the net close to the deck, the big fish would have definitely jumped back into the river.
The fish struggled in the net, its tail slapping against the edge, sending up a shower of water. Its scales gleamed dazzlingly white in the sun, and its plump body, over a foot long, seemed unwilling to be held captive. It twisted its body desperately, trying to break free.
"There really are fish!" The crowd erupted in exclamations.
"Miss, you are so amazing!" Chuntao couldn't help but applaud and praise, her eyes full of admiration.
"The fish is so big! It must be at least two or three pounds." Frosting couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She looked at the fish and secretly admired the young lady's luck.
"How is that possible? Just a casual swim?" Cheng Rui still couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the fish in the net bag carefully, then he was sure that this was not an illusion.
…At this point, the two guys still sparring were no longer in the mood for a heart-to-heart; the two who had been invisible also jumped out automatically; Cheng Rui's fishing rod had long since disappeared; he had turned the stool around. Everyone looked at the wooden basin containing the fish, their mouths wide open, thinking that the young lady had performed a miracle, or that the gods were helping her, and that she was really lucky.
"Let me give it a try." Xiao Man suddenly saw the extra net bag and rushed over. His eyes were shining with excitement, as if he had already seen the scene of catching a big fish.
Unexpectedly, the net bag had been picked up by Frost first. She held it tightly in her hand and had no intention of giving in. She said directly: "I'm strong, I'll go first." There was full of confidence in Frost's tone. Strength was her strong point and she was sure she could catch the fish easily.
Xiao Man was eager to catch the fish and tried hard to grab it. "Catching fish is not a test of strength. It must be a test of skill. Look, miss, you didn't use much force at all." He was so anxious and didn't want to miss the chance to catch the fish.
"I'll give it to you after I scoop it once." Sugar Frost relented, but still insisted on going first. She held the net bag tightly, not wanting Xiao Man to get there first.
"No, I'll just try it once. Sister Sugar Frost, please give me a try first." Xiao Man tried to persuade Sugar Frost with soft and hard words. His eyes were full of pleading, and he continued, "Just let me try it once, I'm sure I can catch a big fish."
"How can this be?" Tang Shuang frowned. She felt that Xiao Man was being unreasonable. Why should she give up the net bag that she had snatched with great difficulty to him?
...the two of them started fighting, neither willing to give in. Their movements became increasingly intense, as if they had forgotten everything around them. The people around them couldn't help but laugh as they watched them fight, feeling like they were just being funny and entertaining.
Jing Chunxi didn't care about their verbal battle. No one believed her just now! Now you can take it away.
She continued to hold her net bag and turned back to where she had been by the edge of the boat. She planned to drag out this operation a little longer to whet their appetite.
She stirred it a few times, then suddenly pulled it up, empty. She frowned slightly, but didn't give up. She moved a few steps to the other side of the boat, up and down in the deep water a few more times, lifting and lowering, but still no fish in her pocket. She pretended to sigh, but her eyes still held a hint of determination.
At this time, Xiaoman, who finally won the victory through hard struggle, picked up the net bag and ran to a place not far from Jing Chunxi.
He looked a little excited and a little nervous. He reached into the water with greater force, as if he wanted to use all his strength in this one scoop.
He walked a few steps and quickly pulled up the net, but nothing. He went to the other side, but didn't feel any movement in the net bag. He walked back a few steps and quickly scooped it up and lifted it up. When the net bag came up, there was only a piece of water grass.
Xiaoman frowned, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he did not give up. He continued to wave his arms and try hard to fish it out, refusing to give in.
"That's all you can do. I told you to go first." Sugar Frost looked at Xiao Man with disdain, but didn't grab it. Although she agreed to let him try a few times, she regretted letting him go after seeing him pull out nothing after several attempts.
She felt that if she had come, the fish would have come up long ago. With a hint of disdain in her eyes, she continued, "With your limited ability, you still want to catch fish? You're just dreaming."
"Do you think the water's full of fish? Look, Miss, you've tried fishing several times, but you haven't caught anything," Xiao Man retorted. He hadn't caught anything, but he wasn't convinced. Tang Shuang underestimated him, and he didn't believe she wouldn't catch anything even after trying several more times.
He continued to wave his arms, and the net bag flew up and down in the water, competing with the fish at the bottom of the water.
"Here they come, here they come! The fish are coming!" Just as Ah Qi was about to step back and lean back against the fence to watch the excitement, Jing Chunxi, without even lifting her net, let out another cry. There was a hint of excitement in her voice, as if she had already seen the fish.
Just when Ah Qi thought that the young lady was being mysterious, Jing Chunxi suddenly picked up the net bag and quickly moved it to the deck on his side.
