I open a shop in Qixia Town

Chapter 642: First Encounter with a Strange Object
Guo Jing and Huang Rong were a little confused by the quarrel between the two men, and they became even more confused after seeing the big fish in Zhou Botong's hand.

The size of this fish is so exaggerated that it is even taller than a human!
Guo Jing was shocked and said, "What a big fish! It can eat me!"

Huang Rong opened her mouth slightly, also quite shocked.

"I have lived on Taohua Island for more than ten years and have never seen such a big fish."

Looking the tuna up and down, Huang Rong asked curiously, "Old Naughty Boy, where did you catch this?"

"Hey, little girl Huang, you asked the wrong question. You should ask me because I was the one who caught this fish."

Hong Qigong stroked his beard complacently.

"You are amazing to be able to catch such a big fish, Senior Hong!"

Guo Jing gave a thumbs up in admiration.

Zhou Botong was unhappy and said sternly, "Hey! Brother, you are too short-sighted. I caught the fish, why are you praising him instead of me? Isn't this just a betrayal?"

"Ah? Did you catch this big fish, Brother Zhou?"

Guo Jing scratched his head, feeling a little dizzy.

“I was the one who caught it!”

"I caught it!"

"I caught it!"

“I caught it!”

"Stop, stop, stop! Listen to me, both of you!"

Huang Rong was also confused by what the two said and hurriedly stopped them.

Huang Rong shook her head and said, "It's obviously unrealistic to catch such a big fish."

Zhou Botong smiled triumphantly.

Hong Qigong became anxious and was about to explain.

Huang Rong continued, "It's even more impossible to catch it with your hands. Such a big fish's strength in the water cannot be underestimated. Moreover, big fish are usually in very deep waters. How can you catch it, old boy, without a boat?"

Huang Rong actually rejected both of them.

Zhou Botong pointed at the ground and said, "Humph! I caught it. It was just jumping around here and I grabbed it!"

Huang Rong said playfully, "Ha, old naughty boy, you can't even tell a lie. This place is at least ten feet away from the sea. How could such a big fish be here? Don't tell me it jumped out of the water by itself."

"It jumped here from the water! Look, it jumped from this little puddle. Hey? Where's the puddle? It was still there just now."

Zhou Botong's eyes widened, but he didn't even see the puddle.

Hong Qigong smiled slightly, then stroked his beard calmly.

Zhou Botong was so anxious that he pulled his beard randomly. Suddenly he saw Hong Qigong standing beside him and said quickly, "Hong Qigong, do you think there is a small puddle here?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it."

Hong Qigong blinked his big innocent eyes and shook his head.

"Didn't you see it? You old beggar, you're trying to trick me. I just saw you fishing in the puddle, and you caught this fish from the puddle."

Zhou Botong realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Hahaha! You admitted it yourself. I was the one who caught this big fish."

Hong Qigong laughed heartily.

"I... Humph, I don't want to play anymore. You guys are bullying me!"

Zhou Botong threw the tuna in his hand and ran into the cave angrily.

"Big brother, big brother"

Guo Jing shouted twice, but to no avail.

Huang Rong blinked her big watery eyes and asked, "Uncle Hong, did you really catch this big fish?"

"I, Hong Qigong, never lie."

Hong Qigong nodded. Huang Rong admired him and said, "To be able to catch such a big fish, not only does one need certain skills, but also strength is crucial. Qigong, you are really amazing!"

Hong Qigong was coaxed into smiling happily.

"Hahaha! Rong'er, let me tell you, I'm an old fishing enthusiast. I have to cast a few times when I have nothing to do, otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable all over."

Looking at the fish that was longer than himself, Guo Jing said with emotion: "To catch such a big fish, I need a very thick bamboo pole."

"Not thick. Here, this one is it."

Hong Qigong took out a fishing rod from the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night.

Huang Rong narrowed her eyes slightly.

Although this fishing rod is not long, it is about four feet long. Where did Hong Qigong hide such a fishing rod?

When they first met, she looked at Hong Qigong carefully. Apart from a wine jug hanging around his waist, he had nothing else.

"How can such a thin fishing rod catch such a big fish?"

Seeing the sea fishing rod in Hong Qigong's hand, even the silly Guo Jing hesitated.

This fishing rod is not even as thick as his wrist. If the big fish exerts force, it will break, right?

Hong Qigong smiled and explained, "Jing boy, you don't understand this, right? My fishing rod is not made of bamboo, but fiberglass. This material is very tough and is specially used to catch big fish."

"Fiberglass? Never heard of it."

Guo Jing scratched his head and laughed foolishly.

Huang Rong asked curiously, "Qi Gong, where did you catch this fish? I've lived here for so long, how come I've never seen one before?"

"It's right here."

Hong Qigong smiled mysteriously.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong asked in unison: "Here?"

"Yes, this is it!"

Guo Jing said in disbelief: "Senior Hong, stop joking. There is no water here. How can we fish?"

"Hey, today I, the old beggar, will open your eyes."

Hong Qigong smiled and took out the indoor fishing pond from the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night.

Huang Rong and Guo Jing's eyes widened suddenly as they looked at the indoor fishing pond that appeared out of nowhere.

What's going on? Why did this thing suddenly appear?
Hong Qigong spread out the indoor fishing pond and fiddled with the buttons on the side for a while.

A blue sea appeared.

Huang Rong and Guo Jing's eyes widened even more.

Huang Rong said in disbelief: "Qi Gong, please don't tell me that you caught this big fish from here."

Looking at the two people in front of him who were dumbfounded, Hong Qigong laughed and said, "Haha, this thing is called an indoor fishing pond. It can be connected to any river where you can fish, so you can fish anywhere. You only need to adjust the button to choose a river, lake, or sea. It's very convenient."

Huang Rong looked at the "small puddle" on the ground, then looked at the dying tuna, and finally looked at Hong Qigong.

“I still don’t quite believe it.”

An object like a piece of cloth, when spread on the ground, can connect to all the water sources with fish in the world. Even someone as smart as her was astounded to hear such a magical thing.

"Hahaha! Old beggar, I knew you had a little puddle! You old man, you have such a precious thing but you hide it, you are not a friend at all!"

Zhou Botong, who was eavesdropping in the cave, ran out, happily lay down beside the indoor fishing pond, and dived into it.

"Gurgling..."

Bubbles popped up one after another.

"Hey, you old naughty boy, this is connected to the Atlantic Ocean, which is more than 100,000 miles away from here. If you fall in, you will never come back!"

Hong Qigong was frightened half to death by Zhou Botong's behavior, and hurriedly grabbed his collar and pulled his head out of the water.
