I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 60 Fishing
The Cuiping Reservoir is not too large, and its water system is connected to the giant reservoir next to it, the Huaqiao Reservoir.

Huaqiao Reservoir is a first-class water source, and fishing is not allowed. However, Cuiping Reservoir in the same water system is not, so there are many fishermen fishing here, not to mention holidays, even on weekdays.

Chen Xi has only become interested in fishing in the last one or two months. A few months ago, he was transferred to the Haixi Official Tax Examination and Evaluation Institute as a deputy to accumulate qualifications.

Lao Yu, the head of the Examination and Assessment Institute, likes fishing. If the leader likes something, the subordinates will follow suit. Soon, Chen Xi, led by his colleagues in the entire unit, fell into the bottomless pit of fishing.

My fishing skills are not that good, but I spent tens of thousands of dollars on equipment.

Chen Xi ran to Cuiping Reservoir at six o'clock in the morning to reserve a position. He chose a good fishing spot. There was an open space next to it, which could not only be used for parking, but also for setting up a tent.

Five-year-old Yi Yi, with two pigtails, was running in and out of the tent, holding a pair of earthworms she had just dug out of the ground to scare her mother Zhang Yalan.

Chen Xi stared at the fishing float intently. He was mainly targeting silver carp and bighead carp today. At around eight o'clock in the morning, the fish were biting quite well and one or two fish came up. But after nine o'clock, the weather changed from sunny to cloudy. The clouds blocked the sunlight and the fish were not so active anymore.

Hey, is there a fish coming? Chen Xi saw that the float seemed to move twice, and ripples appeared on the calm water surface. Chen Xi was very excited. As soon as he put his hand on the fishing rod, he felt a slight vibration from the ground. Amid the rumbling sound, a black Mercedes-Benz G500 stopped in a corner of the open space.

It's over, the fish is gone.

Chen Xi sighed to the sky, pulled back the fishing hook and looked back, just in time to see Fang Yu getting off the G500 and greeting the couple.

"Cousin~" Yi Yi, who had two pigtails, pounced on Fang Yu with two earthworms in her two little hands, with a malicious smile on her watery little face.

"Yi Yi~" Fang Yu also stretched out his arms, and Yi Yi's two little hands slapped Fang Yu's chest with a sound, and rubbed it up and down.

"Ga gaga gaga gaga." Yi Yi was just about to admire her masterpiece, but she saw that Fang Yu's black T-shirt was clean and had nothing on it.

??? When Yi Yi was full of questions, she heard her cousin's surprised voice: "Yi Yi, why is your little face so dirty? Come on, let your mother wipe it for you."

Zhang Yalan leaned over to take a look and saw that Yi Yi's red face was covered with mud. She cried out, taking out wet wipes from her bag while scolding, "Little girl, why do you have to play with mud when there are so many other things to play with? Look at how dirty your face is! Oh, and your mouth is dirty too! I can't keep an eye on you and you're causing trouble. You're not allowed to play anymore!"

Yi Yi raised her hand and wiped her face, and it was indeed covered in mud!
Wow, I'm not pretty anymore.
Yi Yi's little mouth pouted and she burst into tears.

After crying for a few times, Yi Yi saw Fang Yu with a smirk on his face, making faces at her!

Yi Yi suddenly realized that it must have been done by her cousin!

My stinky and bad cousin caused my mother to scold me.

How did my cousin get the mud on my hands onto my face?

I don't understand.

It must be because I’m only five years old. When I grow up, I will definitely understand.

snort!
After dealing with the naughty kid, Fang Yu was in a good mood. He saw Chen Xi circling his G500 several times.

"Tsk tsk tsk, at first I thought my brother-in-law gave you his G55, but when I looked closely I realized it's a new car?" Chen Xi looked envious, thinking that this car was bought by Fang Daqiang for Fang Yu.

"It's better to be a businessman like my brother-in-law. He can buy any car he wants. Unlike us, we have to think twice before buying a Highlander."

Chen Xi likes cars very much, otherwise he wouldn't have borrowed a motorcycle to go for a ride after the college entrance examination. Now he is over 30 years old, his status has changed, but his inner hobbies are hard to change.

Fang Yu drove here just to enjoy Chen Xi's envy, and instantly felt all the pores in his body relaxed.

"You've been fishing for the whole morning. How many have you caught?" Fang Yu picked up the fish basket at the water's edge and stretched it to the bottom. Only then did he see two small silver carp over a foot long and several small miscellaneous fish the size of a palm.

"Just two small ones? Oh, there are still a few baits here. Uncle, are you targeting minors? Do you need such a big fish guard with your skills? Can't you just buy a foot basin?"

"Get lost!" Chen Xi's face turned red, and he cursed, "If you hadn't driven over here and scared away my fish, that one would have definitely weighed more than ten kilograms."

"You were very cute when you were little, but why are you so hated now that you've grown up? Look, when you come, the fish don't come."

Fang Yu shrugged: "If your skills are not good, just say that you are not good. Don't make excuses. Why didn't you say the same thing when you used me to pick up girls when I was a kid? At that time, fish were caught one after another. Not to mention those weighing ten kilograms, there were even those weighing more than 180 kilograms."

"You come if you have good skills!" Chen Xi glanced guiltily at Zhang Yalan who was still cleaning up his daughter. He felt relieved when he saw that his wife didn't hear what was said here.

I glanced at the side. Huh? There are a lot of people over there. They seem to be college students who come to the reservoir to play? Well, there are a few farmhouses that cook fish here. They should come to eat.

"I'll do it." Fang Yu didn't hesitate to sit down on the fishing box, put on the bait, raised the rod and swung it.

Seeing Fang Yu's unskilled swing and the messy landing points, Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "If you can catch a fish with your swinging skills, it would be a miracle."

After that, Chen Xi saw the G500 again and almost drooled: "Your grandparents are still waiting for us at home for dinner. We must leave at o'clock at the latest. I will give you half an hour. If you can't catch more than ten kilograms in half an hour, we will switch cars for the next few days."

"What if I catch it?" Fang Yu was not willing to be outdone.

"If you can really catch a fish weighing more than 10 jin in half an hour, you see, I'll give you the whole set of equipment. In my bag, there are five silver carp and bighead carp rods alone, plus other things, tens of thousands of dollars." Chen Xi was full of pride, pointing at the pile of things spread on the ground. "Okay, although I don't fish, I can't refuse the gift from the elders. If you insist on giving it to me, I can't do anything about it." Fang Yu laughed.

It doesn’t matter who wins or loses in this small bet between the uncle and nephew, but Fang Yu is a person who doesn’t like to lose.

Therefore, he chose to cheat.

"Hmm, it seems there aren't many fish here..."

Fang Yu quietly released a magician's hand and dived underwater to take a look. The magician's hand was only ten meters away, but the visual range was more than ten meters. The water quality of Cuiping Lake was good, so the scenery more than ten meters away underwater could be seen clearly.

There seem to be a few big fish a few dozen meters away on the right, but they never come over. What kind of crappy fishing spot did my uncle choose?

While Fang Yu was complaining, he raised the rod and took the opportunity to hang the bait to do a magic trick on the compacted bait ball.

"Huh? Why does the bait seem to be glowing?" Chen Xi rubbed his eyes, "I guess it's the reflection of the fish hook."

Silver carp and bighead carp are phototactic. The magic trick that Fang Yu put on the bait was to make it glow. Within two minutes, he attracted two big fish from dozens of meters away.

"A fish is coming! A fish is coming!" Seeing the float shaking up and down, Chen Xi was even more nervous than Fang Yu. "Don't be in a hurry to lift the rod. The fish hasn't taken the bait yet. Wait a little longer until it bites a bigger bite."

Under the sight of the Mage's Hand, the two fish had been teasing the bait but refused to swallow it. Fang Yu became a little impatient and controlled the Mage's Hand to throw the fishhook and bait into the mouth of the nearest fish.

This fish is a little small, but it should weigh at least ten pounds.

Fang Yu pulled up the rod suddenly, and the hook was hooked on the upper lip of the big fish. The big fish was startled and immediately started wrestling with Fang Yu.

Fang Yu has no problem with physical fitness and strength, but he is not very good at fishing. If Chen Xi's rod had not been expensive enough, he might have broken the rod during the first wave of fishing.

Fortunately, Fang Yu had a good comprehension ability, and under Chen Xi's nagging guidance, he quickly mastered some tricks.

After a stalemate of nearly ten minutes, Fang Yu finally managed to drag the fish ashore.

"Weigh it quickly. How heavy is it? I have a spring scale here." Chen Xi excitedly took out a thick spring scale and put it on the fish's mouth and lifted it up.

Seeing the number on the scale, Fang Yu smiled and said, "Uncle, this is my spring scale now."

Thirteen pounds!
"Your luck is too good, isn't it? The fish must not have entered the nest just now. Let me try again." Chen Xi snatched the fishing rod with a jealous look on his face, pushed Fang Yu off the fishing box, and sat on it himself.

Fang Yu curled his lips, but kindly added an arcane trick to Chen Xi's bait. Then he ran to the nearest position to the water and released a magician's hand.

There was no way. Chen Xi threw it a little far away. If he didn’t move forward, the mage’s hand wouldn’t be able to reach it.

People have given me so many things. Even though I may not be able to use them, I still want to feel happy about them.

No fish can resist the power of magic, no!

With the help of arcane tricks and the magician's hand, it wasn't long before another larger silver carp was caught.

"Wow! This fish is so strong! Xiaoyu, come here quickly! Help me!" Chen Xi shouted excitedly.

Damn, I’ve been fishing for two months and I’ve never caught one this big. I have to post a circle of friends holding the fish and @老余.

No, I can’t wait for Xiaoyu to come, the fish is too strong! Chen Xi was afraid that the rod would burst and hurt his daughter behind him, so he let go and the fishing rod slipped out of his hand.

But unexpectedly, when he let go, the fish began to swim back, and the fishing rod was not dragged into the water at all, but was still on the shore.

Yi Yi, who was watching the fun on the side, didn't know what happened. She only knew that her father's fishing rod fell to the ground. She reached out and picked up the fishing rod, held it in her arms, and started to pull it up like her father.

"Hey, Dad's fishing rod." Before Chen Xi could react, the big fish in the reservoir began to swim quickly again. Yi Yi weighed only 20 kilograms, maybe even less than the fish. In a flash, he was pulled into the water by the fishing rod.

"Yi Yi! Let go!" Chen Xi and Zhang Yalan were both scared out of their wits. They were about to jump into the water, but they saw Fang Yu at the water's edge having already dived in.

Immediately afterwards, a pink shadow also jumped into the water.

This is a reservoir, not a river. The shallowest part of the bank is four or five meters deep. As soon as Yiyi fell into the water, the fishing rod naturally slipped out of her hand. Not to mention that such a young child can't swim, even if she has learned to swim, the constant temperature swimming pool is different from the large reservoir in early autumn. In addition, she was frightened and couldn't think of how to float up.
