Peach Blossom Divine Medical God - Chapter 1772 - 1766: Fishing with Mung Beans
Many onlookers, who loved to see a good show, pretended to side with Chen Yang and refuted the man in a teasing tone.
"Wang Ergou, what are you laughing at? How do you know this isn’t this young brother’s secret method?"
"Exactly, young brother, don’t listen to him. Just fish confidently. Today, I also want to see how mung beans catch big fish."
...
Everyone laughed heartily, and someone even offered their small stool to Chen Yang.
"Young brother, it might take a while for you to catch a fish. Here’s a stool for you. Sit and fish slowly. We’ll all watch."
Despite the ridicule from others, Chen Yang showed no reaction, and his face did not change, as he always wore a light smile.
Because he knew that no matter how much was said now, it was useless.
If he wanted to refute them and silence their mocking faces, catching a big fish was the only truth.
"No need, I catch fish quickly, sitting down would just be a hassle." Chen Yang waved his hand, refused the stool, and then, without waiting any longer, took his homemade fishing rod to the riverbank and cast the line into the lake.
Although the rod wasn’t long, the line Chen Yang cast was quite far.
After the bait entered the water, the surface of the lake was calm, with no reaction.
The onlookers behind didn’t say anything about it.
You certainly wouldn’t catch a fish immediately after casting the line, and that’s perfectly normal.
"Can Chen Yang catch a fish? I think fish don’t eat mung beans, right?"
While Chen Yang quietly fished, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t help worrying again. She even took out her phone to search for which fish eat mung beans.
If no fish would eat them, she planned to immediately go to the store and buy Chen Yang a box of good bait.
"It’s over... Many fish don’t eat mung beans, and even if they do, it’s purely by chance." After searching, Yang Ruoxi quickly got discouraged, thinking that, normally, Chen Yang was going to lose.
"No way, I’ll go buy bait for Chen Yang right now. We definitely can’t lose!"
Quickly, Yang Ruoxi got her spirits up and was about to rush to the store to buy bait.
But Wu Kexin and Li Han stopped her.
"Ruoxi, don’t make things more complicated. Chen Yang isn’t someone who acts rashly. If he does it this way, he must have his reasons." Li Han advised.
"That’s right, Ruoxi. We just need to trust Chen Yang. He hasn’t let us down before."
Wu Kexin also said.
"But... these mung beans... Well, alright, I’ll trust him." Yang Ruoxi originally wanted to say that mung beans couldn’t catch fish, but after thinking about it thoroughly, she chose to believe in Chen Yang, just like Li Han and Wu Kexin.
"Ha, a mung bean can catch a fish? I’ve been fishing for years and I’ve never seen it. Today will be something new."
The man named Wang Ergou became displeased seeing the three women still believing in Chen Yang, and his words were filled with sarcasm and disdain.
"Then I’ll tell you that today you’re about to witness something fresh. Chen Yang has never failed at anything." Yang Ruoxi wasn’t someone to take insults lying down. Upon hearing Wang Ergou’s taunts, she immediately shot back.
Heh.
Wang Ergou was instantly energized, looking at Yang Ruoxi: "Beauty, aren’t you believing too much? When have you ever seen a fish eat mung beans?"
"You..." Yang Ruoxi was very angry, but for a moment, she couldn’t refute his words.
"Fish rarely eat mung beans, but it doesn’t mean they won’t eat them, right? Besides, the bet isn’t over yet. Why are you so sure of yourself? Be careful or you’ll get slapped in the face." At this time, even Wu Kexin, who was displeased with Wang Ergou, stepped up to back Yang Ruoxi.
"Haha, sure, let’s just wait and see."
Wang Ergou didn’t argue with Wu Kexin. It’s true that fish aren’t impossible to eat mung beans, they just rarely do.
Without a starving fish, it’s tough to catch one.
"Let’s just wait and see, see who fears who." Yang Ruoxi really couldn’t stand Wang Ergou’s arrogant expression, so she folded her arms and waited seriously.
On the other side, Chen Yang was fully focused on watching his fishing rod.
There’s quite a lot of skill involved in fishing.
Even though he trusted the effects of the conditioning pill, he still needed to be careful, considering so many people were watching.
If he failed, it would indeed be a little embarrassing.
Time ticked by, second by second, and there was still no reaction from Chen Yang’s fishing rod.
About eight or nine minutes passed, and the rod finally moved!
"It moved! There’s a fish coming."
Someone noticed the fluctuation of the fishing line and spoke up.
Hearing this, the crowd’s eyes immediately shifted over.
"There truly is a fish."
Yang Ruoxi was overjoyed!
Wu Kexin and Li Han looked at the water surface with anticipation, hoping Chen Yang would pull out a big fish.
"Did a fish really bite?" Wang Ergou also noticed the line moving and was briefly surprised.
But after assessing the situation, he laughed heartily again: "In my years of fishing experience, the hook is likely less than 8 pounds. Don’t expect too much, anyone can catch small fish."
This Wang Ergou did have some fishing skills. Normally, with such little water surface activity, it was likely a small fish.
But Chen Yang’s bait wasn’t ordinary.
The fish hooked by him wouldn’t struggle violently.
"Finally caught a fish." Sensing the hook was locked, Chen Yang smirked and began reeling in the line.
With a lift of the wooden rod, a fish as wide as two palms surfaced.
Swish swish!
The moment the fish emerged from the water, everyone’s eyes on the scene widened involuntarily!
"Whoa, such a big fish! Isn’t this at least twenty pounds?"
"Amazing! It really got caught, and this fish is definitely over fifteen pounds!"
...
Everyone was utterly shocked!
"Yay! Chen Yang, you’re incredible, caught a fish!" Yang Ruoxi was so excited she nearly jumped up.
"My god, how is this possible?!?!" Wang Ergou was dumbfounded and rubbed his eyes several times, finding it hard to accept the scene before him.
A wooden stick actually caught a fish.
And with mung beans as bait.
This is crazy.
"Hahaha, what’s with that expression? Does your face hurt from being slapped? It’s only been a short while." After her excitement, Yang Ruoxi immediately taunted Wang Ergou for being so arrogant earlier.
"One fish, it’s just luck. Our bet is for three fish. I don’t believe he can catch a second and third one today." Wang Ergou still refused to believe that the wooden stick and mung beans could catch a fish, thinking it was just a coincidence.
"Hmph, stubborn fool, let’s see what you have to say if he really catches three fish in a bit."
Seeing how stubborn he was, Yang Ruoxi didn’t want to continue arguing with him; just waiting to see was enough.
"Young man, here, use my dip net. It’ll make it easier to catch the fish."
While they argued, Chen Yang had already dragged the fish to the lake’s edge. At this point, a fellow angler, amused by the spectacle, enthusiastically offered a large dip net.
"Great, thank you." Chen Yang didn’t refuse. After expressing his gratitude, he took the net and scooped up the fish from the lakeside.
This fish was quite large. Using a simple scale, they weighed it.
A whopping twenty-three pounds!
Completely met the betting criteria.
