Chapter 222 - 222 222 Winning People Over with Virtue

Let me take a look!”

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang said, “Good timing, Xiao Liu, you know a lot about this stuff, check if you can take it off!”

The man with glasses sized it up and mimed how deep the hook got in.

At a glance, it wasn’t as serious as everyone thought, just the hook point with its barb poked in.

Due to the angle of entry, it wasn’t jabbed straight in.

“Not bad, it’s relatively shallow, not too serious!

Buddy, are you afraid of pain?

If you can stand it, I can remove the hook for you right here at the fishing spot!”

“Bring it on!

I can take it!” Qiangzi really had some grit, gritting his teeth in agreement.

“Gritting your teeth definitely won’t do, find a towel to bite on!” The man with glasses scanned around and casually took a semi-dry towel from the fishing spot, folding it into a thick stack for Qiangzi to bite on.

“Is there a pair of locking pliers around, bring one, the hook is a bit big, the bar on the handle is too wide, best to cut it off!”

“Yes, yes, wait for me to fetch it!” Boss Zhang darted back to his shack and brought out a pair of brand new locking pliers.

“Brace yourself, don’t move!” The man with glasses gave a heads up, casually pushing the handle of the fish hook with his finger, snipped off the flattened wide end with a click, leaving behind just a bald piece of the fish hook.

“Mmm…” The vibration of the hook stimulated the wound, and Qiangzi let out a low grunt.

“There, most of it is done!

Off with it!”

The man with glasses pinched the remaining half of the hook and pushed in the direction the skin was bulging outward; the sharp point of the fish hook pierced through the other side of the skin and came out.

As mentioned before, a big reason it’s hard to remove is the barb on the hook.

By pushing forward, there’s no need to worry about the barb.

After the hook point was exposed, the man with glasses grasped the pointed end with pliers and pulled it out, successfully extracting what was left of the fish hook.

All through this, Qiangzi bit down hard on the towel without opening his mouth.

When the bloodied hook came through and was removed, his forehead was already sweaty with beads as big as beans.

“All done!

The hook is out!

But we can’t just leave it like this, a closed wound is prone to inflammation and pus, and there’s also the risk of tetanus.

Let’s go inside, I’ll wash it with hydrogen peroxide, and remember to get a tetanus shot after fishing!!!” The man with glasses suggested.

“Okay!” Qiangzi wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his sunscreen clothing and followed into the shack, walking a bit strangely.

With the hydrogen peroxide cleaning of the wound and such, Yue Feng didn’t really feel it was appropriate to watch, so he patiently waited outside the shack.

Also waiting there were the pond owner Old Zhang and Yu Dapao.

“Old Yu, you’re always causing trouble!

Arguing with Yue Feng in the morning, I saw it on the surveillance, I just didn’t feel right coming to find you about it!

In the afternoon you hook somebody, how can you find so much trouble every day!” Boss Zhang grumbled about Yu Dapao’s faults.

Yue Feng chipped in, “Let it go, bro, it wasn’t on purpose!

Fishing, everyone has their unlucky moments.

The morning dispute was a minor conflict; wrong or right, it’s over and done with, let’s leave it at that.

As for the afternoon, it’s not all Old Yu’s fault.

It was an accident, and Qiangzi didn’t make a big fuss either!

Just drop it and don’t take it so seriously!”

After all, Yue Feng didn’t like stirring up trouble when he was out and about.

After the heat of the moment passed, seeing Old Yu brooding and smoking, he felt a bit of compassion and spoke up to mediate.

It was these unexpected words that made Yu Dapao reevaluate the young man standing before him.

“This was indeed my fault!

I’ll cover the cost for the shots and medication later!

I admit, I didn’t act like a man about the fish slipping away this morning, I owe you an apology!”

When Old Yu sincerely apologized, even Boss Zhang couldn’t help but lift his head in surprise and glance at Yu Dapao.

Known for being stubborn, Old Yu humbling himself to apologize sincerely to a younger man was as if the sun had risen from the west today!

“Heh heh, isn’t it better once we’ve cleared the air!

At your age, you’d qualify as my uncle!

Let’s not dwell on anything pointless!” Yue Feng grinned broadly, all’s well that ends well!

From Boss Zhang’s perspective, running the fishing ground and welcoming guests from all directions, the last thing he wanted was conflict among the anglers.

Now that the two had resolved their differences, it was indeed a cause for celebration.

“Yue, you’re something else!

It’s my first time seeing Yu Dapao admit he was wrong to someone!” Boss Zhang gave Yue Feng a thumbs-up, expressing his sincere admiration.

“Let’s turn the page and not bring it up again!!” Yue Feng waved his hand, signaling that the matter was closed.

Before long, Qiangzi came out from the house!

Aside from walking a bit awkwardly, he seemed largely unaffected.

“All set?

Gonna fish this afternoon?” Yue Feng asked with concern.

“Absolutely!

I caught six or seven this morning.

If I put in a bit of effort, I can probably catch around ten fish!!

Let’s go, off to fish!”

“Yu Dapao said he’s covering your medication and injection fees!” Boss Zhang timely reminded Qiangzi.

Qiangzi shook his head, not really taking it to heart: “Wasn’t on purpose, just my bad luck I guess.

Won’t cost much anyway, and dealing with it back and forth is a hassle.

Just leave it be then.

Next time he’s swinging the big rod around, Uncle just needs to look back!”

The incident with the fish hook and the buttocks came to an end.

On the way back, Yue Feng asked Qiangzi, who had stuffed quite a bit of toilet paper in the wound to manage until the end of the fishing time without any trouble!

After all this commotion, it was already past 2 PM.

By this time, more big fish started to bite at the fishing ground!

Yue Feng took advantage of the downtime before resuming the live stream to relax a bit and get ready to broadcast.

At 2:40 PM, he restarted the live stream.

“Eh!

Starting the stream early, got some good fish activity?”

“Front row, all hail Brother Feng!”

“Been waiting by my phone all this time!”

“Did Brother Feng catch any fish during the noon slot?”

Thanks to the explosive atmosphere of the live stream when the fish were biting, Yue Feng’s early start in the afternoon quickly brought the number of viewers back up to over three thousand.

Yue Feng greeted, “Good afternoon, bros.

I planned to end the stream early tonight because I have to release some fish, so I started twenty minutes ahead!

Didn’t catch much around noon, but in the afternoon the pond started to see some big fish biting again.

There’s nobody else around now, so we can really go for it!”

“Go Feng v587!!

Get another big one to seal the deal, pull up the boss fish of their pond!!”

“Keep up the spending spree!

Let’s see how many fish Brother Feng can catch by the end!”

Yue Feng got back to tending the ‘spending spree’ rod: “Alright, help share the live stream, guys.

I’m starting the spending spree, here we go!!”

Having greeted everyone, Yue Feng returned to his usual fishing routine, sprinkling bait into the spot at regular intervals.

Around 3 PM, the number of people in the live stream went up slightly again, reaching 4500+.

In this time, although Yue Feng hadn’t caught any fish, he noticed an interesting situation!
