Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 143: Chapter 143, your smile didn’t disappear, it just transferred to my face.

Xu Wendong excitedly pulled a fish weighing over three pounds out of the water, then said, ”Yeah, just moved in today. Old man, where’s the fish net?”

”Here you go!” The elder casually opened the fish net, allowing Xu Wendong to put the fish inside, and then said, ”Villa number ninety-five is a nice property!”

”It is indeed, it’s quite large.” Xu Wendong replied casually as he baited the hook with a worm and cast it back into the lake, patiently waiting.

”I hear you’re a local? What line of work are you in?” The elder was full of curiosity. If someone important from the provincial capital moved into villa ninety-five, that would be understandable as they could hold their ground.

But since Xu Wendong had a local accent, the elder couldn’t help but be curious.

Xu Wendong: ”I’m a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.”

The elder laughed, ”Traditional medicine can indeed be profitable, but being able to buy that villa suggests you’re not an ordinary person!”

Xu Wendong: ”It’s not that big of a deal.”

Then he shifted the conversation, ”Old man, you could try removing the float, using the flick method to cast the hook deeper, then place the rod on the stand and raise it when the rod bends under the fish’s weight. This might be more effective than your current method.”

Xu Wendong knew how to fish, but he had never used a rod before or adjusted the float, so he could only pass on what he knew to the elder.

”I’ll give it a try.” The elder immediately followed Xu Wendong’s advice, removed the float, cast the hook into the lake, and placed it on the stand, waiting patiently. ”If I catch a fish, I’ll definitely have to thank you properly.”

Xu Wendong smiled, ”It’s no big deal, no need.”

”No, no, no!” The elder looked serious and said, ”For you, maybe it’s just a few words, but for me, it’s different. To be honest, I made a bet with an old guy in the community. He said fishing requires skill, and with my skill, I couldn’t catch anything.”

”Conversely, if I manage to catch a fish, wouldn’t that prove him...”

Before he could finish, he saw the rod bend sharply, and he immediately lifted it. Judging by the bend of the rod and the buzzing sound, it was a big fish.

”Quick, quick, quick! Record a video of me reeling in the fish, I need to show off to that old guy!” The elder excitedly tossed his phone to Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong never expected that a man in his sixties would say he wanted to show off, but he still helped him record a video until the carp was pulled out of the water.

”Old Dog, did you see that? I can fish too, and I don’t need you to teach me! I guess this fish weighs four or five pounds, broke your three-pound record, ha ha ha ha!” The elder sent the video to a friend, then sent a voice message.

Afterward, he threw his phone onto the grass and said with a laugh, ”Thanks to you, young man, for helping me catch a big fish. My name is Mi Gang, and today, I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask!”

”So it’s Elder Master Mi, apologies, apologies! My name is Xu Wendong, you can just call me Xiao Xu.” Xu Wendong respectfully nodded, knowing that the Mi Family was one of Qingyuan’s Four Great Wealthy Families, with assets in the billions, primarily in the industries of dining, hotels, and logistics.

”Rice Bucket, you cheater, you must have cheated, I don’t believe you caught that big fish yourself.” Suddenly, a piercing scream came from afar.

Xu Wendong’s pupils twitched as he saw an elder sitting in an electric wheelchair speeding along the winding road of the community at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour.

Thirty kilometers per hour wasn’t slow, especially considering it was a wheelchair, and the speed at which it approached the lake made Xu Wendong’s heart race.

This was the real-life embodiment of speed and excitement!

The elder’s driving skills were impressive.

He even managed to brake near the lake, which Xu Wendong found impressive.

”Old Dog, I knew you wouldn’t believe in my abilities, but that doesn’t matter. I will let you witness the moment I catch a fish firsthand!” Elder Master Mi said as he cast the hook into the lake again.

”Screw you, impossible to fish without a float! Are you mocking my intelligence?” The elder in the wheelchair laughed in anger, ”If you can catch a fish, I’ll call you grandpa.”

Just as the words left his mouth, Elder Master Mi lifted the rod again, and it instantly bent into a bow shape. This time, he caught a koi weighing over a pound.

Though it wasn’t large, it shocked the elder in the wheelchair, making his scalp tingle.

Elder Master Mi smiled with a challenging look, ”Do you believe in my abilities now? Am I not better than you? A gentleman’s word is worth a brilliant carriage, you wouldn’t go back on it, would you?”

”Come on, call me grandpa.”

The elder in the wheelchair stared blankly, genuinely not expecting that this old man could catch a fish without a float. Once he came to his senses, he said angrily, ”Rice Bucket, you’ve spared no effort to beat me! Do you really think my intellect has diminished because my legs are impaired?”

”No!”

”A leg impairment hasn’t lowered my intelligence; in fact, it’s heightened it!” Furious, he took out his phone, dialed a number, and angrily shouted into it, ”Why did you take so long to answer, kid? Have you grown wings?”

”Get a construction team to pump the water from the community lake, and catch whoever is helping Rice Bucket from underwater. I want to expose him!”

Pff!

Xu Wendong almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This old guy had a truly unique way of thinking, even guessing that someone was underwater helping Elder Master Mi fish...
