Chapter 22 The old man fishing by the Baiyin River

"You can really eat. You can finish the snacks you received yesterday."

Su Zhe looked at the garbage on the table and in the trash can, and at the empty snack box, he sighed.

"Meh, I didn't even eat dinner last night. It's not too much to have some snacks."

Su Zhe took the room card and checked out the room silently.

"It's time to go, we're leaving today." He said lightly.

"it is good--"

Lu Min dragged her tongue, she packed up her things and patted her stomach.

"Let's go."

It took the two of them a few days to leave Huayuan Town and walk out of the forest.

"Xiao Zhe, look over there, the water is so wide, is this a river or a sea?"

Su Zhe knew that Baiyinjiang had arrived without looking at the map.

"This is Baiyinjiang," Su Zhe gave her a white look, "Your basic geography is not good enough."

The two walked along the river bank noisily, trying to find a place to cross the river.

The Baiyin River is the largest river in China, passing through dozens of cities.

Snow-white waves pass through the torrent, splashing white foam, and the water droplets glow silvery white under the sunlight, hence the name Baiyinjiang.

"The nearest town is more than 20 kilometers away from here. In this wild country, you can't even get a taxi."

It seems that I can only camp here today, and it is quite interesting to sleep listening to the waves.

"Huh? There seems to be an old grandfather in front."

Lu Min ran forward bouncingly, Su Zhe squinted and found that there was indeed a figure in front of him.

They took a closer look and found an old man fishing by the river.

"Grandpa, may I ask..."

Before Lu Min finished speaking, Su Zhe covered his mouth.

"People are fishing."

Su Zhe whispered.

They watched patiently from the sidelines.

About 10 minutes or so, the pole suddenly moved, and a force pulled the fishing rod towards the river.

"Hey--"

The old man held back his strength, his face was flushed red, he controlled the arc of the pole, opening and closing it.

Finally, the old man stretched his arms tightly, and with a sudden effort, a huge king carp was pulled up.

"Wow, what a big carp king."

Su Zhe has never seen such a big king carp. A normal king carp weighs about ten kilograms. This one is almost double the size. It really is a big fish hidden in deep water.

I thought the old man would catch it, but unexpectedly, the old man kicked him back into the river.

"Grandpa, why did you—"

"If you give up something, you will gain something."

The old man glanced at Su Zhe and the others, and then packed his fishing tackle. The setting sun stretched his figure very long.

"Let's go, go home."

The old man was about to leave, but Su Zhe held him back.

"Excuse me if there is any accommodation nearby. We are Pokémon trainers. It seems that the nearest town is more than [-] kilometers away from here, and there is no taxi here."

The old man looked at Su Zhe, then at Lu Min.

"Then, come to my house to stay overnight, there is still a vacant room."

The old man's home is a small wooden house by the river. The house is not big, but it is clean and tidy.There is a small yard on the side of the house, and there is a hut that looks like a Pokémon. I don’t know what Pokémon the old man has raised.

"The terrain here is relatively high, and the breakwater built by the government is below. Generally, the waves cannot come up, unless it is a catastrophic flood."

The old man seemed to be afraid that Su Zhe and the others were worried, so he said this.

"I was a water level observer before I retired."

"Grandpa, this family portrait is—"

Su Zhe noticed the photos on the square table.

"Oh, my wife asked someone to take this photo before he was alive. It's by the Baiyin River. There are five members of my family. My wife and I are in the front row. The child is my grandson, and the two behind me are my son and daughter-in-law."

"It's been ten years, and my wife passed away a few years ago. My son's family is in Jiangyou City across the river, and his grandson is now in high school."

Speaking of which, the old man glanced at Su Zhe, "It's about your age."

"They come to see me when they have nothing to do. I'm actually quite comfortable alone, fishing by the river every day."

Su Zhe and the others drank tea while listening to the old man's story.

"By the way, Grandpa, I want to ask about the ferry. The ferry in the nearby town seems to be inspected these days and it can't be used."

"Yes, it will probably be used the day after tomorrow." The old man said.

Su Zhe thought for a while.

"Then, tomorrow we will see how you are doing fishing. I also want to learn techniques."

"Okay."

The old man pointed to the dozens of fishing rods by the wall: "You two pick two at random, and I'll give them to you."

The next day, a group of people came to a fishing spot of the old man.

"There's only one skill in fishing—"

"One word, Heng."

The old man lit a cigarette and threw the baited hook into the river.

Su Zhe and Lu Min followed suit.

"By the way, grandpa, what did you mean yesterday when you said that you can only get what you give?"

The old man ignored it and continued to stare at the water.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Zhe suddenly felt that the fishing rod was being pulled. He hurriedly lifted the rod, only to find that he was fishing lonely.

Lu Min's situation is not much better.

After an unknown period of time, the water surface on the old man's side still seemed to be motionless.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes.

"coming."

Su Zhe and Lu Min stared closely at the old man's fishing rod, and they found that the fishing rod was shaking slightly, and the fishing line was also swaying from side to side.

Why didn't you close the shot?Su Zhe was worried for the old man, he might have run out of bait.

The old man is calm and relaxed.

With a sudden effort, the muscles in his arms bulged out his blouse.

He was pulled forward, and the bucket at his feet and the bench under him were overturned and rolled into the river.

The old man turned his body sideways, exerting force to the left for a while, and exerting force for a while to the right.

Although it was very difficult, Su Zhe found that the old man gradually gained the upper hand.

"The hook is very deep, and it hurts more and more the harder it is. It is only at my disposal."

The old man started to run around the bank, exhausting the energy of his prey.

Suddenly, he used all his strength to close the shot, and the prey gradually surfaced.

That's a Gyarados!

"It's you waiting, go Pikachu."

The old man released a Pikachu, and Su Zhe realized that the hut in the yard belonged to Pikachu.

"Use one hundred thousand volts."

Pikachu jumped into the air along the old man's arm, and then [-] volts hit the Gyarados directly.

Electric-type tricks are a nightmare for water-type and flying-type Pokémon.

The Gyarados was paralyzed by the electric ground and could not move.

"Roar--"

It fell straight into the water.

"Go baby ball."

The old man calmly threw out the baby ball to subdue it.

"It's amazing!" Su Zhe and Lu Min admired sincerely.

"Okay, the goal is accomplished, let's go home."

The old man packed his tackle.

"If you give up something, you can gain something..."

Su Zhe said to himself.

Is that what it means?

The old man seemed to see his confusion, and he patted Su Zhe on the shoulder.

"Weigh your inner goals and desires carefully to see if they can be balanced on the balance of time."
