Chapter 734: Chapter 307: The Big Carp Gate Plank_2

Unfortunately, Li Xiaopeng and the fish struggled for a short while before the fish escaped off the hook.

However, the female guide was skilled and spent half an hour hauling a giant Siamese carp, over a meter long, to the side of the boat.

This one was smaller than the one Lin Yang had caught; she just took a photo of it, unhooked it, and set it free.

"Whoosh～"

Lin Yang exerted a little effort and cast the bait out.

After the commotion with the female guide’s big fish, he guessed that there wouldn’t be any fish near the boat for a while, so naturally, he had to cast the bait farther out.

Under his guidance, Yue’er also cast her bait out a bit further.

"Hmm?"

While waiting for the fish to bite, Lin Yang suddenly felt a tug on his fishing rod. He was about to brace himself for a tough pull when suddenly there was no more movement from the rod, which he found very strange.

It was probably a tricky fish that nibbled the bait without biting the hook.

This is a common occurrence in fishing, but it was quite rare on Lin Yang’s hook.

Guessing the bait was gone, Lin Yang cranked the reel to retrieve the fishing line, preparing to replace the bait.

"Huh?"

As he turned the reel, Lin Yang felt something unusual. The fishing rod felt a bit heavy, but not too heavy, and it didn’t struggle.

It felt like he had snagged some trash.

The fishing line hadn’t been cast out very far, and soon he had pulled in the suspected trash.

Then.

"Holy crap!"

"Damn!"

"Wow!"

"Oh, hey!"

....

A series of exclamations erupted on the boat.

At that moment, what was hooked on Lin Yang’s fishing hook turned out to be a handgun!

And from the feel of it in his hand, he could tell that it was definitely not made of plastic.

With a light swing, the handgun hanging from the hook came in front of Lin Yang, and he grabbed it.

It was heavy and a bit sticky; evidently, the handgun had been soaked in water for quite some time, and the handle was hollow with no magazine in sight.

"Cousin, is this a real deal or made of plastic?"

Men are naturally drawn to firearms, and Li Xiaopeng immediately asked Lin Yang, full of curiosity.

"It should be real. It feels quite heavy. Unfortunately, I don’t know where the magazine went."

After examining the handgun, Lin Yang handed it to Li Xiaopeng.

Since the gun had no magazine, they didn’t need to worry about accidental discharge.

"Damn, it really is genuine!"

Li Xiaopeng held the handgun, hardly able to put it down, and even tried to pull the trigger forcefully, but, unfortunately, it didn’t move, probably stuck due to being soaked in water for too long.

The other two women were equally curious and played with the handgun for a bit.

"What do we do with this thing? Should we throw it back?"

After the handgun had been passed around, it ended up back in Lin Yang’s hands.

Since the gun had been submerged in water for who knows how long, some of the small internal parts had likely become problematic. Even if it was still functional, Lin Yang wouldn’t dare keep it, not knowing whether pulling the trigger might fire a bullet or blow up the barrel.

"Jibber jabber wibble wobble...."

The boatman nearby might have seen Lin Yang’s indecision and spoke up.

Unfortunately, they didn’t understand and could only look to the guide for help.

"Uncle says to hand the handgun over to him, and he’ll take it to the police."

The guide translated in time.

In Thailand, firearms are not banned; anyone over the age of 20 can apply, and once approved, they can purchase firearms from a gun store.

Giving the hot potato in Lin Yang’s hands to the boatman for handling seemed like a good choice.

Whether he kept it himself or gave it to the police, that was no longer his concern.

After a brief thought, Lin Yang handed the handgun to the boatman and then continued fishing.

Regarding why a handgun could be caught in this place, after a brief thought, he understood: this place was the infamous Golden Triangle.

Although the area’s safety had improved greatly in recent years, it had been incredibly chaotic in the past. It was quite normal for military relics to be left in the river.

Even today, while safety on the Thai and Laotian sides had improved, the situation in Myanmar was still concerning, as could be seen from the development situation at that intersection.

Wait a minute, since there was a handgun, could the lost magazine be near where the handgun was caught?

Although the odds were slim, holding a ’try it out’ mentality, he aimed in the direction where the bait had fallen into the water and cast his line out.

While the chances of catching something were less than 0.1%, Lin Yang decided to try his luck.

Once the hook touched the bottom, he began to crank the reel slowly, moving the hook around the riverbed to see if he could catch the possibly non-existent magazine.

Before he had moved the hook very far, the fishing rod began to feel an impressive pull.

A fish had taken the bait.

"Whoosh～"

Since a fish had taken the bait, he naturally performed a rod lifting ritual to express respect for the fish.

Fish: I don’t need your respect....

The fish wasn’t large, and shortly after, he hauled it to the side and then lifted it directly onto the boat.

"Successfully caught a Seven-star Knife Fish...."

"Huh? What kind of fish is this? It’s pretty beautiful."

Fishes caught in foreign freshwater regions certainly differ from those in domestic waters; Li Xiaopeng looked at the unfamiliar fish in Lin Yang’s hands, curious.

"It seems to be called the Seven-star Knife Fish; it is quite good-looking."

The Seven-star Knife Fish, as its name implies, is a fish that resembles a knife and has seven star spots on its body.
