Chapter 1031: Chapter 426: The North Wind Howls, Snowflakes Drift—Time for a Copper Hotpot to Chase Away the Cold!

Of course... there’s not much fish in the river either.

He has had several blank days in a row; if it weren’t for catching two or three small miscellaneous fish or crucian carp each time, Old Sun Head would have given up on this fishing spot.

"Hey Xu, how’s the car running?"

"Pretty good, just the power is a bit strong, still need to get used to it slowly."

This car has 720 horsepower, powerful indeed. A slight tap on the accelerator sends it charging forward like a bull, much more thrilling than the previous X5.

After exiting the Sixth Ring, Lin Xu followed the navigation, came off the overpass, and drove along a provincial road for more than ten kilometers, slowing down in front of a village, and slowly turned onto the river bank.

About five hundred meters forward, the group spotted Old Sun Head by the roadside.

"Grandpa Sun, how’s the battle situation today?"

Old Sun Head zipped up his jacket, put on his hood, and said:

"Not good, it’s too cold, no sun, the air pressure is a bit low, feels like they won’t bite today. But just now, a fish jumped on the surface when I came up to meet you guys, about two or three jin. I think if we hold our ground, there’s still hope... when there’s no fish, we just persist, that’s what anglers do."

Listening to this analysis, it’s clear he’s an experienced angler.

They say anglers are good at analyzing the fishing situation from aspects like water conditions, weather, temperature, water quality, fish conditions, feng shui, Bagua, geomancy, and so on.

Proving that not catching fish isn’t a technical issue, but interference from other factors.

Chen Yan, anxious to shake off the Air Force cap, didn’t care about these; she opened the trunk and said:

"Since we’re here, let’s cast a few lines first. Yuanyuan, do you like using hard rods or soft rods? Director Zeng can’t come today for some meeting, so you’ll have to be my witness instead. Let’s catch a big fish for everyone to see, I, Chen Yan, won’t leave empty-handed!"

When working at the park, Chen Yuanyuan occasionally cast a few lines in the reservoir; her record was catching a 30-jin big silver carp, which took everyone several meals to finish.

She said with a smile:

"I don’t mind, just here to have fun with you guys... Dundun, don’t run around recklessly, there are thickets here, if you get lost, it’ll be hard to find you."

Dundun immediately lay on the long fishing bag upon hearing this.

A demeanor of "the package is in the cat’s hands."

After taking out their own equipment, Lin Xu locked the car and followed Old Sun Head down the river bank.

The riverbank where they fished last time was bare, open to view.

This river, on the other hand, was full of thicket, with a clearly-trodden path through the middle, presumably a passage opened by anglers.

Through the thicket, they came to the riverbank, where the view finally opened up.

It was the dry season; the water in the river was hardly flowing.

"The deep water here is about three meters; I measured it here the last few times I came. When you adjust the floats later, just go with three meters; in winter, bottom fishing is the only hopeful method, other methods aren’t very effective."

Lin Xu looked at Old Sun Head’s fishing float, standing still on the water, like a steel bar driven in.

Really don’t know how these anglers persist.

He found a fishing spot more than ten meters downstream from Old Sun Head, scattered the bait, then pulled out a small folding stool, set it up by the water, and leisurely started organizing his fishing rod and line.

Although Shen Jiayue, with her Pikachu hat, was also actively organizing, shortly after, her fishing line got tangled, even the hook and leader line were caught in the mess.

"Let me handle it later, don’t let the hook catch your hand."

"Okay..."

Beside them, Chen Yan had already tied her line, and Yuanyuan had switched her fishing hook to a combination of one big and one small, clearly not sparing either big or small fish.

Seeing how skillful the two were, then looking at her tangled line, Shen Jiayue pouted:

"Hey Xu, am I stupid?"

"No, you’re not. If you were stupid, how could you have gotten into a 985 university?"

"Then why can’t I even handle this fishing line?"

"People who do great things usually don’t care to do these little things, let me handle it."

Lin Xu finished setting up his fishing rod, hung fragrant bait on it, tossed it into the water, adjusted the position, placed it on the stand, then started working on Shen Baobao’s fishing rod.

While everyone was busy, Dundun crushed a cluster of reeds beside him, making himself a little nest, then lay on it leisurely watching the group of anglers.

"Dundun, come here, let mommy hold you."

After the hook went under, Shen Jiayue waited a few minutes, noticed her fishing float remained completely still, and decided to borrow mystical practices.

Last time, it was when Dundun was nearby that she caught an eight-jin-eight-tael big carp.

So today, bringing Dundun over should mean catching fish too, right?

However, the little guy wasn’t planning to cooperate today. After lying on the reeds for a while, Dundun started wandering on his own.

Just as Shen Jiayue was about to call Dundun again, she noticed her fishing float moved.

Without a second thought, she grabbed her fishing rod and pulled back quickly, but found the line not moving an inch, instead feeling a strong pull against her.

"Hey Xu, I think I’ve caught a giant... it’s so heavy, I can’t pull it at all!"

Chen Yan’s eyes widened watching this scene.

Is this silly girl really blessed with foolish luck?

Just arrived and she’s got a fish, and judging by the strength, it’s at least over ten jin... such luck is unbelievable!

President Chen felt a twinge of jealousy in her heart.

Seeing others catch fish feels worse than going empty-handed ten times in a row.

Curiously, Lin Xu walked over, checked the float, and curious, held the rod, releasing it slightly forward.
