Chapter 64: In Any Case, We Can't Envy That

Liu Chuxue was unaware of the village affairs; she was currently being watched by a crowd.

When she first arrived, she had done as before, finding a quiet spot far from the crowd.

But she couldn't stop Master Xiao from having people keep an eye on her.

As soon as she caught a fish, someone ran to notify Master Xiao.

Master Xiao had come over after breakfast, but until now, he had only caught one small white fish. He couldn't sit still anymore: "You girl are truly amazing. Tell me, do you have some secret technique?"

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected the old man to come over so quickly: "Master, what are you saying? How could there be any secret technique for fishing? It’s just that I mixed the bait myself; I don't know if that’s the reason."

Hearing this, the old man leaned in toward the bait, pinched a small ball, looked at it over and over, and sniffed it: "I don't see anything special."

While they were talking, a crucian carp weighing about two pounds was pulled up.

Master Xiao was thrilled: "Oh my, a crucian carp! This is good, this is good. Girl, it’s a deal, I’m taking this crucian carp. A crucian carp this big is rare."

Chuxue unhooked the fish and threw it into her newly bought wooden bucket: "Why do you want a crucian carp today, Master?"

Master Xiao looked at the fish in the bucket, his eyes crinkling with a smile: "My granddaughter gave birth to a big, fat boy yesterday, but she doesn't have enough milk. The whole family is worried sick. I boasted that I would definitely catch a crucian carp today to take back."

Chuxue teased him: "But I caught this. You aren't planning to take it back and claim the credit, are you?"

Master Xiao stroked his chin and chuckled: "Whoever caught it doesn't matter, as long as there’s a crucian carp. We shouldn't be so particular."

After saying that, both of them laughed.

Before long, Master Qi, who had been there that day, also brought a few old friends over. Seeing the fish in the bucket, he gave a thumbs up: "You girl are extraordinary. I really don't know if this moat has a connection to you, or if the fish and shrimp in the water have a destiny with you."

After saying that, he laughed to himself.

Liu Chuxue calmly loaded her bait: "Clearly, I caught these fish through my own fishing skills; you insist on making me a relative of this moat."

Master Xiao chuckled and replied: "Whether it’s skill or luck, in any case, we can't envy that."

After saying that, he looked at Master Guo, who was still holding out in the distance: "Look, Old Man Guo came the earliest today, and he’s still empty-handed. Isn't that infuriating?"

With the help of her cheat, Chuxue caught fish one after another. However, she wasn't foolish enough to use the bait mixed with pool water every time.

Just then, Master Qi became interested in her bait: "Girl, can you share some of your bait with me? Don't worry, I won't use it for free. If I catch a fish, we’ll split it."

Liu Chuxue knew he was suspicious of her bait: "Sure, it’s a deal."

She pointed to the bait on the side: "Help yourself."

How could she possibly give away the baited bait? What was sitting there was just ordinary bait; whenever she needed it, she would swap the bait from her space with the one on the ground.

While she was happily counting her money, Chen Weiping was having a hard time.

The two of them were covered in mud from head to toe behind their backs, and they were shunned wherever they went. After finally buying tickets, they were first refused boarding, and then mocked and ridiculed.

It wasn't that the driver didn't want to take them, but the conductor on the bus was afraid they would dirty the seats. In the end, an acquaintance recognized them and lent them two pieces of clothing to cover themselves so they wouldn't soil the seats, which finally allowed them to board. ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
