Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Yan Bugui was very enthusiastic along the way, and kept telling Lin Geng about his so-called fishing experience. He really didn't keep much to himself. Lin Geng also saw that Yan Bugui really wanted to have a good relationship with him this time, so he didn't have any bad ideas. So he was very polite to him and handed him two cigarettes along the way. The two of them came to the shore of Shichahai Bay, which was closest to them, while smoking and chatting.

Yan Bugui can be considered an experienced angler. In order to improve his family's life, he secretly earns some money to supplement the family income. He often leaves home early to go fishing, so he has quite a lot of experience.

After he brought Lin Geng to the place, he found a fishing spot he thought was good. The two of them sat down at a distance and began to put bait on the hook and start fishing.

Yan Bugui skillfully detected the water depth and adjusted the float, and it was obvious that he was an experienced angler. However, Lin Geng did not do the same. He simply cast the rod and started fishing.

Seeing that Lin Geng didn't even adjust the float and just cast the rod and started fishing, Yan Bugui felt a little disdainful, but he didn't remind Lin Geng again. After all, experience is something that cannot be passed on to Lin Geng all at once. He still had to keep some of it and it would not be too late to pass it on to Lin Geng slowly later.

After casting the rod and hooking the hook, Lin Geng immediately discovered the difference of this fishing rod. This fishing rod seemed to be connected to his mind. Even the fishing line and the underwater hook were connected to his mind, allowing him to clearly feel the situation in the water within a radius of about ten meters through the fishing rod and line.

Lin Geng could actually feel whether there were any fish around the hook through the fishing rod, which immediately made him very happy. This fishing rod was really a magical tool! It actually had this function.

Moreover, the fishhook with the earthworm hanging on it can move slowly in the water, like a living worm, attracting the attention of nearby fish to the fishhook. They begin to gather around it. First, the small fish swam over, and before the small fish could bite the hook, the big fish came over and immediately drove away the small fish that had gathered around.

After a four or five-pound black carp drove away the small fish, it immediately set its sights on the fishhook with the earthworm on it and bit it without hesitation.

The fishing float on the water surface suddenly sank into the water. Lin Geng gently lifted the fishing rod, and the fish hook hooked the mouth of the black carp. Although the black carp weighed four or five pounds, it was already quite large, but Lin Geng's wrist and arm strength made it effortless to lift it. Moreover, the bearing capacity of the fishing rod was also very strong. It was just a little bent and very elastic. Lin Geng shook his wrist and easily dragged the four or five pounds of black carp to the shore.

Yan Bugui was still adjusting the float and had not officially started fishing. When he turned his head, his eyes suddenly widened. He quickly adjusted his glasses and looked carefully, wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes. How could Lin Geng be so fast? He had just sat down and thrown the hook into the water, and it had only been a short while since he adjusted the float, but Lin Geng had already caught a fish, and it was a big black carp that looked to weigh at least four or five pounds.

Yan Bugui swallowed his saliva involuntarily again, feeling a little jealous, thinking how could this kid be so lucky? After the serious illness, he got lucky and unexpectedly became much stronger, not to mention becoming extremely powerful. Now he even has such good luck in fishing. Isn't this too unjustifiable?

If he could catch such a big black carp, he could sell it for at least one dollar, which was equivalent to his daily salary. He could buy nearly one and a half pounds of meat, which was fat, and six or seven pounds of white flour or rice, and more than ten pounds of corn flour, which was enough for his family to eat for several days.

But Lin Geng had just sat down when he caught such a big blue carp. Could his life be any better?

So he gave Lin Geng a dry laugh, unable to conceal his envy and said, "Xiao Lin! You are so lucky! You caught such a big black carp just after casting your rod. It seems like this is a good sign today. You may be able to catch a few more big fish!"

Lin Geng noticed Yan Bugui's envy and said with a smile: "Isn't it because of the experience you imparted to me that I was able to catch the fish so quickly? This is also your credit!

Don't say anything, I'm not a stingy person. If I catch a lot later, I'll give you a bigger fish as a gift to pay your tuition!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he was overjoyed, and the jealousy he had felt before immediately disappeared. He thought to himself that Lin Geng seemed to be a good guy and not a stingy person! As long as you treat him well, this guy will not let you suffer any loss, and he can even be generous enough to let you take advantage of him.

So he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Xiaolin, you are really generous! I won't say anything more. From now on, we two will get along well. If there is anything in the yard that can be used by your uncle, just tell me!"

"Okay, Third Uncle, your words are enough! From now on, we should be good to each other. As long as you don't plot against me, then as a junior, I can't treat you unfairly, right?" Lin Geng agreed with a smile, while hanging up the earthworm and throwing it back into the water.

Yan Bugui's old face turned red, and he said awkwardly: "Look at what you said, how could I be as calculating as you said! As the saying goes, if you can eat well and wear well, you will be poor, but if you can't calculate, you will be poor!

You know, there are six people in my family, and we depend on my salary. If I weren't stingy, this family would have no way to make ends meet and would all starve to death!

If we have money, who among us old city folks would not want to be frugal? But I really can't do that! If I don't live a frugal life, I really can't survive!

Xiao Lin, today I, the Third Uncle, am going to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. You can see that my life is really not easy!

But don't worry, with what you said, I, your uncle, will not plot against you in the future!"

Lin Geng looked at the fishing float, listened to Yan Bugui's words, and sighed secretly. In fact, Yan Bugui's life was really not easy. The long-term economic pressure forced him to calculate and find ways to save money. Gradually, he developed the habit of taking advantage of small things.

But Yan Bugui is definitely a smart man, and he has a much clearer bottom line than Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. He may be greedy for small gains, but he will never do things that are against principle such as harming others. He also knows how to be grateful. As long as he doesn't plot against himself, this person can be made friends with.

So he nodded and said, "Yes, Third Uncle, I understand your difficulties, otherwise, I would not have said that this morning! Just based on the three uncles in charge of this yard, after my mother passed away, you didn't plot against me, so I am willing to have a good relationship with you!

Hey hey hey... I got hit again..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Geng shook the pole again and pulled a carp weighing two or three pounds out of the water. He dragged it to the shore, unhooked it, and threw it into the fish basket in the water.

Yan Bugui was speechless when he saw Lin Geng caught another fish, a big carp weighing two or three pounds. He could only sigh inwardly that this boy had such good luck!

You have to know that when it comes to fishing, in addition to experience, there are many other factors, such as weather, water temperature, bait preparation, nesting and so on. In addition to these factors, there is another very important one, that is luck.

Of course, at this time, people are still not full, and many anglers are reluctant to make bait, and even reluctant to use flour, oil, wine and other things to make bait. Basically, most of them dig some earthworms as bait, or even use grass as bait, or catch some snails and smash them to take the meat as bait. Whether they can catch fish depends entirely on their skills and luck.

Sometimes, no matter how good your skills are, if you are unlucky, you may not catch a single fish in a whole day. But even if your skills are average, as long as you are lucky, you can sometimes have a good catch.

Lin Geng was obviously one of those people with extremely good luck. Not long after he sat down, he started to catch fish one after another, and they were all big fish. This is really a case of comparing people to people and being humiliated, and comparing goods to goods is really a case of throwing them away! You really can't refuse to accept your luck.

Next, Yan Bugui began to suffer continuous blows. It seemed that Lin Geng was assisted by God today. He did not seem to be here to fish, but more like he came to buy goods. He caught fish one after another. Yan Bugui was stunned and forgot to fish while holding the fishing rod.
