Closer to My True Form Every Day

“Forget about how many you wish to catch. As long as you can catch it, it doesn’t matter what you catch,” Qian Feiyang struck at Wu Ji’s ego.

After the two of them exchanged a few words, the three of them calmed down to fish.

Even when they went on vacation, young people in their twenties like them would always look at the scenery and take pictures. If they saw something interesting, they would share it on Moments and social platforms. Few were actually willing to go fishing. As a result, some people classified fishing as “a game for middle-aged and elderly people”.

From when he was young, Wu Ji’s father had taken him fishing, so he had some interest in it. But every time he went fishing, he just couldn’t catch anything. It was a continuous cycle of: I fish, I get nothing, empty-handed, I try again.

Feng Yi had no such interest or hobby, nor did he have the time. He used to work part-time and also had to manage his work studio. Once in a while, he would go fishing with them to relax. Basically, to take a break after a period of hard work. His purpose wasn’t to fish, only to rest. This time was no different, so Feng Yi’s mentality was quite peaceful.

Wu Ji was different; he came with the purpose of avenging past shame. However, half an hour passed without any movement from the water.

The people who originally fished near them also packed up and changed fishing spots due to lack of harvest. Anyway, the fishing area was very large, so changing spots could change luck.

Qian Feiyang was already getting impatient. He took out his phone and searched for a place with few people and good scenery nearby. He would go there later to take pictures.

Feng Yi was in a daze. He was still thinking about what the old butler had said. What exactly were the small changes? Would they be noticeable?

As for Wu Ji, he waited and waited. He even went through the fishing cheats his father had written for him: timing, fishing spots, bait, and groundbait were all correct. He also tried all kinds of different positions and fishing methods, but the fish just wouldn’t take the bait!

There was a commotion in the distance.

Wu Ji looked over.

It was an old man fishing group, laughing very loudly. Even from afar, the smugness could be heard.

“Calm down! Steady!”

“Good!”

“Where’s the net! Pull it up! Don’t let it get away!”

“You bear your age well; you don’t lose out to that year!”

“Thank you!”

Compared to the excitement over there, Feng Yi’s side was much more deserted. It was like being in a fake fishing zone.

Wu Ji looked at his good mates.

One of them was sitting motionless for a long time with one eyelid half closed, like an old monk meditating.

Another was fiddling with his phone, looking at something and giggling like a fool.

Unable to hold back, Wu Ji leaned over and said to both of them, “Look at that group of old men over there, they’re already starting continuous casting. There has been no movement on this side for a long time. It must be because the feng shui is not good today, and the fish here have all been caught. How about we try another spot?”

“You can go over there and try your luck, I’ll stay here,” Feng Yi said.

His thoughts were indeed quite far away just now. His perception had been disturbed recently, so it was ineffective. This place was quiet and suitable for thinking about problems.

Qian Feiyang yawned. “I can’t. I’m still not used to this kind of dull activity. I’ll scroll through my phone a little longer, it’s more fun.”

Wu Ji was at a loss. He ran off to see how the others were catching fish after fish, and then came back to try again!

After a while, the only two people left fishing near them got up and went to the livelier area. As they left, the two men muttered, “I used to think that the fish I caught were too small, but now I can’t even catch small fish!”

“No matter what method we use, the fish aren’t biting.”

“It’s not a matter of skill, it’s just that there are no fish! I suspect those old men over there have used some means to attract all the fish!”

When those two people walked away, the three of them were left guarding the spot.

“Why don’t you change spots?” Feng Yi suggested to Wu Ji.

Wu Ji refused to accept it. “No! I have to catch one here! I just sent a voice message to Uncle Liu, and he said that he caught a big one here! He even laughed at me and told me not to waste my time!”

After waiting for a while, Wu Ji ran out of patience. He felt frustrated, his whole body itching to move. He had to do something. He used his phone to swipe through the nearby news. A wild rabbit was photographed by someone sightseeing.

Wu Ji pursed his lips. “A grown man saying ‘rabbit’ in a cute way, don’t you feel ashamed!”

After finding a beautiful flower, Wu Ji took photos from three different angles and sent them to his girlfriend who was on a business trip in another province. [ [ Shy ] Sending you a little wittle flower~]

When he finished, he felt that one flower was not enough and undignified, so Wu Ji stood up and looked around. Not far from Feng Yi’s right side, there was a cluster of flowers blooming just perfectly, so he walked over.

“As expected of a farmhouse in an ecotourism scenic area, the grass is so lush. Apparently, it’s trimmed regularly, but with this height, it looks like it hasn’t been maintained for a long time?”

As he talked, Wu Ji pushed away the weeds and considered how to shoot more artistically. This allowed him to discover something.

The brown and green stripes didn’t stand out in the dense grass, but every cell in Wu Ji’s body seemed to have its radar turned on, sending out signals of fear!

In the quiet and deserted area, a cracked chicken crow exploded:

“There’s a snake!!!”

Wu Ji was so startled that his soul almost left his body. His brain told him to run quickly, but his legs didn’t listen to him at all, and he stood there like a fool. Until a strong force pulled him away.

When he came back to and took a breath, he saw Feng Yi standing there, holding the snake with one hand. Wu Ji’s face paled. He opened and closed his mouth a couple of times, but there was no sound, only the chattering of his teeth.

And Qian Feiyang, who was looking at the scenic spot in the distance and thinking about where to find materials to take a series of nature photos later, was so surprised by Wu Ji’s rooster crow that he threw the fishing rod into the water. However, when he saw the situation clearly, he didn’t care about the fishing rod and frantically ran over.

Upon arriving, Qian Feiyang didn’t dare to approach. He gestured to Feng Yi and stammered, “Do you want to use two hands?”

He looked at the snake’s triangular head and was very worried about Feng Yi’s hand. If he was bitten, his hand would be ruined, right?

Although he didn’t know anything about snakes, he knew it was a poisonous snake just by looking at the shape of its head!! A snake this big must be more than two meters long. If he were in Feng Yi’s position, he wouldn’t even be able to hold it with both hands!

Feng Yi seemed to be stable for now, holding the snake with one hand, but it was a terrifying sight. He was afraid that the snake would break free at any moment and bite Feng Yi.

“Be careful not to get strangled by it!” Qian Feiyang looked at the snake’s tail and thought about how to help. He also noticed that the tip of the snake’s tail was white.

Beside him, Wu Ji managed to pull back his frightened soul. His teeth chattered and he didn’t dare to look at the snake’s big head, which was like a soldering iron. “Steady now! Stay right there! I’ll look for a forked branch or something…”

“Right, we have to report this! I’ll call the police right away!” Wu Ji was shaking so much that he almost dropped the phone.

Feng Yi’s face was frozen. He didn’t know how he caught the snake just now. It was like a conditioned reflex, and also like an instinct. Of course, he was also worried that he wouldn’t be able to hold it with one hand, but after that moment he didn’t know how to grab it with the other hand——

Therefore, when he didn’t know what to do, he could only maintain the status quo. He maintained the same posture and strength in the hand he used to hold the snake, remaining motionless. His other hand motioned to Wu Ji and Qian Feiyang, telling them to stay away as the snake looked dangerous.

Other people in the fishing area had heard the movement and were heading this way. Feng Yi took a deep breath, looked at Wu Ji who was shaking and incoherently calling the police, turned his head and said to Qian Feiyang, “Quickly bring my bag!

Qian Feiyang didn’t care about anything else and dashed over to pick up Feng Yi’s large backpack that was lying on the ground. He ran so fast that he almost fell.

“Did you bring any tools? Snake hooks, gloves, anything?” Qian Feiyang asked as he unzipped the backpack and was about to rummage through it for tools.

Feng Yi: “Quick! Hand me my sunglasses!”

Qian Feiyang: ???

Hand you your what???
