I’m Working As a Renter In An Unfinished Building

  Chapter 18 Fishing Without Rods

  Choose a few dishes in the yard and cook a pot of noodles. This is Xiao Yijing's lunch.

  Other elderly people will also ask her to eat at home, but she is not good at going to other people's homes every day, so she can only cook by herself.

  Xiao Yijing also has a bit of cooking skills, not to mention how delicious it is, but she can't die of hunger.

   Moreover, these dishes have been watered by spiritual rain, and the taste is very good, which makes up for her lack of cooking skills.

   After eating the noodles she cooked, Xiao Yijing played Xiaoxiaole for a while, consuming a lot of snacks and fruits. Then, she heard Uncle Chen's high-pitched voice.

   "I caught a lot of fish yesterday! I caught all the fish our family ate these days! I caught it!!"

  Xiao Yijing walked out of the house, walked a few more steps, and saw the two people by the river.

   Uncle Chen was holding his iron rod with a fishing line tied to it.

  Son-in-law Huo Fangling stood beside him, listening to his complaint with a troubled expression.

  The old man was very upset, "I caught a lot of fish in the past two days! After giving some to others, there are still a lot left at home! There is absolutely no problem with my skills!"

  Huo Fangling was sweating coldly, and nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, I've seen your heroic appearance in Moments! I also ate the fish you caught!"

   "Really? As I said, my fishing skills are very strong!"

   While talking, the old man turned his head and looked to the side.

  Xiao Yijing just noticed that there was an old man fishing under the tree ten meters away, but the other person's posture was relaxed and his expression was calm.

  Looking at the water splashing from the opponent's bucket from time to time, as well as the movement in that bucket, he has gained much more than Uncle Chen!

  Looking at Uncle Chen’s bucket again, it’s not that there are no fish and shrimps in it, it’s just that there are very few fish and shrimps in it, which is completely different from his bumper harvest two days ago!

  Xiao Yijing also recognized it, and the other old man is He Xin and Abo. Standing beside him was a man in his thirties, his son He Chengjun.

  The elder brother was also sitting on the small bench, and there was also a fishing rod in front of him, apparently here to accompany the old man to fish.

  Looking at Huo Fangling again, he looked bored, he probably has no interest in fishing, he just came here to accompany the old man.

  Abo He Xin used to be an engineer in construction. He was about the same age as Abo Chen, but he officially retired in the past two years.

  The relationship between the two old men is usually very good, and they will play Tai Chi and chess together.

   They are all stinky chess baskets, so don't dislike anyone.

  The two share similar interests and both like fishing.

  However, once fishing is involved, the two people who usually get along in harmony will start to confront each other.

  The fishing skills of the two men are on par—as is their chess skill.

   But in these two days, Uncle Chen's harvest has skyrocketed!

   No, Uncle Chen just drifted away, and he was so embarrassing in front of Uncle He!

  Abo He was also annoyed, but who let the other party's character explode in the past two days and really caught a lot of fish?

  So, he endured it!

  But today, Chen Abo obviously overturned!

   They fished here for a long time, and Uncle He caught several fish, but Uncle Chen caught almost nothing!

   Now, the taunting person has changed!

  Abo He said that the two days before Chen Abo were just luck, and when the luck ran out, it was gone.

   Chen Abo is angry, his skills and luck are very good! It's just that it's not in the right place.

  So, Mr. Chen changed several places, from the side to the entrance of Xiao Yijing's villa.

  As the son-in-law accompanying the fisherman, Huo Fangling could only coax the old man not to be angry.

  The more angry you are, the less likely the fish will be hooked!

   Okay! As soon as these words came out, the old man became even angrier and his voice became louder!

  Looking at the commotion below, Xiao Yijing walked down.

   "Uncle Chen, Uncle He, are you all fishing here?"

   Seeing Xiao Yijing approaching, Mr. Chen stopped what he was doing, "Xiao Jing, you are here."

"Um."

  Abo He also greeted Xiao Yijing, "Ah Jing, did you make a noise?"

  After saying this, Abo Chen noticed that he had unknowingly moved to the door of Xiao Yijing's villa.

  The old man blushed a little, "I'm sorry, I disturbed you."

   "It's okay, it didn't bother me."

  Xiao Yijing shook her head, "How is your fishing going?"

  As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people changed.

  Abo He sat on the small bench, looked at the fishing rod in front of him, put on a tune, and said proudly: "It's okay, I caught several. How many shall I give you?"

   Chen Abo's complexion suddenly turned ugly, this is Chi Guoguo's show off!

  If he hadn't seen the little girl here, he would have cursed again.

   What to show off! When he caught so many fish two days ago, he didn't show off!

  Old He only caught one-fifth of his previous catch today, what is there to be proud of!

  Mr. Chen sneered, "Where can I use you to give someone fish? Xiao Jing's fishing skills are much better than yours! She can catch fish without a fishing rod or bait!"

  Mr. He couldn't help looking at Xiao Yijing, his eyes were full of suspicion, "You still have such abilities?"

  Couldn’t this old Chen be bragging about it?

   Seen by Lao He's suspicious eyes, Mr. Chen immediately said to Xiao Yijing: "Xiao Jing, come! Show this ignorant old man! Let everyone see your skills!"

   "Dad, Miss Xiao has something to do..."

  Huo Fangling smiled awkwardly at Xiao Yijing.

  He is also helpless, but he can't persuade the old man!

  He Chengjun also looked over, with curiosity in his eyes.

   Can you catch fish without a rod or bait?

   Nonsense, right?

   He has been fishing for the past few years, but he has never seen many such masters!

   Xiao Yijing, a little girl, can still have such abilities?

  The atmosphere is already here, and Xiao Yijing can't just leave like this.

   What can she say about the emotional dispute between the two old men?

   They are all old children! I can only pamper it!

   "Okay! Come here! I'll show you my strength!"

  Xiao Yijing picked a few grasses from the river, and quickly weaved them into strands.

   Now, everyone stopped fishing and surrounded her, looking at her curiously.

  Under the eyes of everyone, Xiao Yijing put the grass on the water, then moved and jumped again, as if the grass rope had life.

   Soon, Xiao Yijing suddenly raised her hand, and the grass rope drew a silver line in the air.

  The next second, a palm-sized fish fell to the ground behind, bouncing wildly on the grass!

"Wow!"

"Roar!"

  Everyone exclaimed.

   "My God! It really works!"

  Chen Abo held his mobile phone and rushed to the fish, frantically filmed it, and exclaimed, "Look! No fishing rod and no fish! It's caught!"

   After Chen Abo finished shooting the video, he immediately sent it to Moments.

  Abo He and the others also looked shocked, looked at Xiao Yijing with the eyes of a great god, and gave a thumbs up, "It's amazing!"

   "How did you do it?" He Chengjun's eyes circled back and forth between the grass rope in Xiao Yijing's hand and the river, wishing he could go up and try it himself!

   After Chen Abo posted on Moments, he felt refreshed, "Xiao Jing, you are so amazing! You have made some people more knowledgeable!"

  Master He glanced at him, "It's okay, although I don't have this skill, I still catch a lot of fish."

  Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Xiao Yijing hurriedly diverted their attention.

   "It's just that my reaction is faster. By the way, what kind of bait do you use?"
