Chapter 106: Chapter 106 At the Same Time, Black and Drift

Anyway, in Liao Xuexue’s eyes, it seemed possible for Ye Chen to catch anything, including the fish that he had always failed to catch before.

At the same time, whatever he caught seemed a bit too outrageous.

After all, she had never heard of anyone who hung a whole pack of cigarettes on a fish hook and was able to catch a fish with it...

As for the group of fishermen from the "Jiang City River Bank Squad" who came with Ye Chen, their thoughts were similar to Liao Xuexue’s.

They watched Ye Chen hold fast to the fishing rod, struggling with something unknown in the water, and thus they came to a conclusion.

Definitely, the thing underwater had to be a living creature!

But if you say that what Ye Chen caught was a fish, and it was even caught with a pack of Hademen cigarettes, isn’t that a bit too preposterous?

...

However, there was only the boss and his wife, who were standing on the small hill and could oversee the entire situation involving Cui Ruogou and Ye Chen.

Initially, the boss’s wife was a bit puzzled.

Teacher Ye and Cui Ruogou were casting their fishing rods in roughly the same area.

But since the two were quite far apart, they did not notice this issue.

Furthermore, coincidentally, it seemed that they both hooked a big fish at the same time!

But from her high vantage point, the boss’s wife began to feel something was off...

On the riverbank, whenever Teacher Ye exerted force, Cui Ruogou’s fishing rod became tense, and he was even dragged towards the pond.

On the other hand, every time Cui Ruogou pulled on his rod, struggling backward,

Teacher Ye’s fishing rod would bend at an alarming angle...

In the end, it was the boss who figured out what was happening. With an expression of mingled laughter and tears, he asked his wife, "Do you see what’s going on?"

The boss’s wife alternated her gaze between Ye Chen and Cui Ruogou, her face filled with confusion.

"It seems like Teacher Ye and Cui Ruogou have both hooked a big fish at the same time, but something about it seems strange to me, though I can’t quite put my finger on it."

"They seem to be..."

That’s when the boss slapped his forehead: "It’s like they’re playing tug of war?"

"Right!" the boss’s wife exclaimed, her eyes wide and her mouth agape: "Every time Teacher Ye on the bank exerts force, Cui Ruogou gets dragged toward the pond."

"And when you look at Cui Ruogou, as long as he pulls on the rod, Teacher Ye’s fishing rod will bend tremendously, isn’t that just like the two of them are playing tug of war?"

Finally, the boss sighed with a rueful smile and let out a breath, "This... actually, Teacher Ye’s fish hook has gotten tangled up with Cui Ruogou’s fish hook..."

"What???" The boss’s wife was utterly baffled, but a second later, she came to a sudden realization.

Because the way Teacher Ye and Cui Ruogou moved in sync, wasn’t it just like their hooks had gotten entangled, and they were playing tug of war?

Oh my...

The boss’s wife had been running the fishing pond for so long and had seen cases where two people standing very close to each other caused their fishing lines to tangle.

In such situations, typically the person whose line wrapped around the other’s would take the initiative to cut their fishing line.

But to have the hooks get tangled from opposite sides of the pond, that was indeed a first for her.

Speaking of which, it really was a fluke.

Normally in their fishing pond, they limit the length of the fishing rods.

Moreover, the length of the fishing line is proportional to the length of the fishing rod, so they also ask anglers not to make their fishing lines too long.

But Teacher Ye, in order to catch a fish, made his fishing line a bit longer.

After all, Teacher Ye was a rare visitor to their place today.

Even if he were to jump in and fish with a net, the boss’s wife wouldn’t say anything.

She was even hoping that Teacher Ye would catch more fish from the pond today.

So, she tacitly agreed to letting Teacher Ye use a long fishing line, which would not only make it easier to catch big fish but also facilitate slipping fish off the line.

And the situation with Cui Ruogou was similar.

Having his rod snap twice in a row had shattered his confidence, so he too used a seven-meter long rod with an extra-long line.

This resulted in their fishing hooks getting tangled together, though neither side was yet aware of it.

In addition, they were both using high-end rods and exceptionally good quality lines.

Therefore, even if both of them put their full strength into pulling, their rods and lines weren’t likely to snap easily.

To prevent his rod from slipping out of his grasp, Cui Ruogou even tied a wrist strap, so it wouldn’t be so easy for him to let go even if he wanted to.

As for Teacher Ye, since he was able to pull up such a large python, his strength was naturally considerable.

Though he didn’t tie a wrist strap, it wouldn’t be easy for him to lose his grip either.

This led to...

Their fishing had truly turned into a tug of war.

If Teacher Ye didn’t voluntarily give up his rod, then the loser would be pulled into the pond by the other...

After realizing this, the landlady was somewhat troubled.

If Teacher Ye won, that would be cause for celebration.

She couldn’t wait for Teacher Ye to pull that annoying Cui Ruogou into the pond and turn him into a drenched chicken.

After all, she had the video that Cui Ruogou had recorded on her phone.

Whatever happened to him in the pond had nothing to do with the pond itself.

Serves him right for trying to ride on Teacher Ye’s coattails—he deserves it!

When the time comes, it’ll teach him a lesson, and we’ll see if he dares to mess with Teacher Ye again!

But if Teacher Ye lost...

Keep in mind, Cui Ruogou had tied a wrist strap, practically anchoring the rod to his wrist.

In contrast, if Teacher Ye were to slip up, wouldn’t his rod then be fished away by Cui Ruogou?

This was definitely not something the landlady wanted to see.

No choice then, she had to turn to her husband for help.

"Honey, what should we do now? These two probably think they’ve hooked big fish and are wrestling each other for it!"

"What if Cui Ruogou fishes away Teacher Ye’s rod, or worse, pulls Teacher Ye into the water? Wouldn’t that be a disaster?"

"Should we go over and stop Cui Ruogou?"

"Anyway, it was Cui Ruogou who broke the rules first by switching to a bigger rod."

The boss furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "It’s impossible for Teacher Ye to be pulled into the pond by Cui Ruogou!"

"Don’t look at Teacher Ye’s build being smaller compared to that dead fatty Cui Ruogou, but Teacher Ye’s strength is extraordinary!"

"Besides, Cui Ruogou might think he’s caught a big fish, but Teacher Ye might very well know the truth!"

"Have you forgotten what Teacher Ye is best at fishing for?"

The landlady replied, "Could it be a corpse?"

The boss scoffed, "What corpse!"

"Then what?"

"A pistol? Hand Grenade? Or a python?"

The landlady listed several possibilities in quick succession, until the boss ultimately couldn’t help but laugh.
