Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Yan Bugui finished chatting with Sha Zhu and turned to look at Wang Dabao.

"Dabao, I'm not Old Yan. I'm telling you that you were too reckless this time. You should have listened to my opinion first!"

"What Shazhu said is absolutely right. There haven't been any big fish in Shichahai in the past 15 or 20 years, let alone the past 10 years. People live a hard life, relying on fishing to fill their pots. It's strange to find big fish here."

Yan Bugui shook his head and scolded Wang Dabao, making people feel that he was taking advantage of the situation.

"Old Yan, I find that you have a bad character. For a pack of 20-cent cigarettes, you didn't stop me from lighting it, and just watched me jump into the pit dug by Sha Zhu."

Wang Dabao pouted and shook his head, "It seems that our friendship has almost come to an end!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

Ever since he met Wang Dabao, his luck has been on the rise.

Just two days ago, he made more than 200 yuan from Liu Haizhong. Although he gave half of it to Wang Dabao, he still got more than 100 yuan. That's real money!

"Don't do that, Dabao. I didn't have time to stop you."

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and said, "How about I go talk to Sha Zhu and let's forget about this bet. All the anglers in Sijiu City know that there can't be fish weighing more than 10 jin in Shichahai. How can we bet like this? This is just bullying you because you don't know how to fish."

Wang Dabao rolled his eyes and glanced at Sha Zhu who was beaming with joy not far away, then looked at Yan Bugui who looked very bitter: "Do you think Sha Zhu will miss the opportunity to trick me?"

"It's probably going to be hard."

Yan Bugui shook his head slowly, "Shazhu is a bit stubborn. He gets serious with male thieves. If a woman goes up to him and says a few soft words, he will immediately forget who his grandmother is."

"That's it."

Wang Dabao sneered, then looked at Yan Bugui seriously and said, "Old Yan, Shichahai is so big, do you think there won't be fish weighing more than ten kilograms?"

Yan Bugui wrinkled his face, thought for two seconds and nodded: "There should be, but no one has seen it in these years. Dabao, don't be discouraged, you may not lose this bet."

"I think so too." Wang Dabao nodded in agreement, "How about this, we share the good fortune together, Old Yan and I will each take ten dollars out of the twenty dollars, and if we win, you can also get ten dollars."

"Don't."

Yan Bugui shook his little head faster than a rattle, "Forget it, Dabao brother, I don't have your courage!"

Wang Dabao's words scared Yan Bugui. He even won ten points. This was a losing game.

Even if you have a hole in your brain, I can't share this happiness with you. There are so many things you can do with the ten dollars, but you have to put it into the pocket of this idiot.

Hearing Yan Bugui's refusal, Wang Dabao chuckled, directed the big fish to slowly approach, and sucked Yan Bugui's hook.

Yan Bugui was complaining in his heart when he suddenly found that his float had disappeared. His face immediately became unhappy.

"Oh my god."

Excited, Yan Bugui immediately held the fishing rod and stood up carefully.

Two seconds later, the float appeared on the water surface again and stood upright on the water surface.

Yan Bugui was a little dumbfounded. What was going on?

Just after he sat down and before he could figure it out, the float disappeared again, but this time Yan Bugui felt the power of the fish transmitted to the fishing rod.

With a swish, Yan Bugui stood up again.

Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu who were standing nearby also noticed the situation and looked over immediately.

Blah blah blah!

As the few people watched, the water surface began to move, ripples spread out in circles, and then a black fish spine that was a foot long appeared in front of them.

Then a huge fish tail slapped the water.

"Fuck!"

After Sha Zhu cursed in Chinese, he ran over in two steps.

Liu Haizhong was no exception. He threw down his fishing rod and prepared to help Yan Bugui.

The movement here attracted a lot of people's attention. When everyone saw the huge fish tail, they were all stunned. Many people even ran over to watch.

The tail of this fish alone weighs more than ten pounds. When did such a big fish appear in Shichahai? It was enough to shock the fishing world in Beijing for three whole years.

"Oh my God, I've been fishing in Shichahai for more than ten years, and I've never seen such a big fish." The old man on Wang Dabao's left also ran over and said in shock.

"What a big fish! It could be a giant!"

"I was far away just now, but I could see the fish spine. The fish was at least half a meter long."

"Yes, yes, yes. Although I haven't seen the whole fish yet, I can tell from just the tail that this fish is definitely not small."

The splashing sound on the water surface arose again.

Yan Bugui held the fishing rod tightly, feeling the big fish struggling in the water and listening to the discussions of people around him. His heart was churning and his face flushed.

What a big fish this is, it’s full of meat!

The fish in the market cost 40 cents per pound, but this big fish is different. The fish meat is more expensive than pork, and is estimated to cost as much as one dollar and twenty cents per pound.

Before the fish came ashore, Yan Bugui had already started dreaming of getting rich.

"Old Yan, hold on, I'm here to help you."

Liu Haizhong picked up the scoop net and shouted softly, as if the fish would fall off the hook if he shouted louder.

Sha Zhu's eyelids twitched a little. Just by looking at the fish spine and tail, he could tell that the fish must be more than ten kilograms. What bad luck did he have? No big fish had appeared in Shichahai for more than ten years, but it happened to appear when he was making a bet with Wang Dabao. How could he go on to complain?

The anglers around gathered around Yan Bugui. Some were ready to help, while others just watched the fun and prepared to go back and brag to their fellow anglers.

Yan Bugui's face was tense. He knew that no accidents could happen at this moment, so he carefully and slowly tugged at the big fish.

This is also the last step of fishing. Usually when you catch such a big fish, you have to deal with it slowly until the fish's strength is exhausted.

Only when the fish has lost the strength to struggle can the fisherman catch the fish calmly.

The bigger the fish, the longer it will take to play it.

It is not uncommon for a huge fish like this to stay alive for three or four hours.

Moreover, when reeling in the fish, you must always stay focused. If you make a mistake in your technique, it is likely that all your efforts will fail, causing the big fish to get off the hook and escape.

By this time, Wang Dabao had already hidden aside with his fishing gear.

There was nothing he could do. There were so many people coming to watch the fun and to help that they were almost squeezing him into the water.

Sitting three or four meters away, Wang Dabao lit a cigarette, crossed his legs leisurely, and directed Dayu and Yan Bugui to deal with each other. Occasionally, he struggled and made a lot of noise, giving Yan Bugui the illusion that he was sure of victory.

Ten minutes have passed!

Half an hour has passed!

Fishing is not an easy process and requires considerable physical strength and energy.

Yan Bugui's hand holding the fishing rod began to tremble, his face turned pale, beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping down, and his two thin legs began to tremble.

During this time, Liu Haizhong and other fishing friends wanted to come forward to help, but Yan Bugui was a shrewd old man and did not trust these people. He insisted that he could do it himself. As a result, despite his efforts, no fish was brought ashore and he almost fainted.

Yan Bugui sniffed hard and turned to look for Wang Dabao. He saw Wang Dabao sitting with his legs crossed and smoking, his eyelids twitching.

"Dabao, you are very strong, come and help me."

There was a pleading look in Yan Bugui's eyes.

As a result, Wang Dabao's words almost made Yan Bugui so angry that he threw away his fishing rod.

"Old Yan, this fish is too big, you can't catch it!"

"Listen to me and let him go!"
