112: Chapter 112: Unexpected Reinforcements 112: Chapter 112: Unexpected Reinforcements Yue Feng noticed Wang Jian and his group, but they had not yet gotten out of their car and hadn’t spotted Yue Feng, who had just climbed up from the narrow path.
The cars didn’t stop; instead, they drove towards the southern area of the reservoir.
In the southern area of the reservoir, there was a large, somewhat organized space suitable for a parking lot.
However, the water level there was relatively deep, making it suitable for fishing in autumn.
It wasn’t clear who took the lead, but they headed straight there with a clear purpose.
Yue Feng was merely acquainted with Wang Jian; they weren’t close and had even had a few disagreements over fish, causing some discomfort.
Therefore, Yue Feng didn’t go over to greet him and frowned slightly as he took out his phone to call the reservoir owner.
From Yue Feng’s personal stance, organizing this fishing event was meant to avoid the involvement of unrelated people.
However, now that Wang Jian and his group had arrived in several cars, obviously prepared, Yue Feng wanted to check with the reservoir owner before making any further plans.
The phone rang for a while before connecting.
Little Yue, have you guys had breakfast?
“Um, Uncle Liu, hello.
I just saw a group of people arrived at the reservoir area that aren’t from our side.
May I ask what’s the situation?”
“Oh, that thing, I know!
They are also from W City, a friend of a friend of mine came to have fun!
I told them to go to the south bank to steer clear of your camping area.
Everyone minds their own business, so it shouldn’t be a problem, and I didn’t specifically inform you!” the reservoir owner casually responded.
With the conversation at this point, Yue Feng could no longer express his stance.
When Yue Feng called to discuss this matter earlier, he had mentioned it would be best to avoid the impulse of unrelated onlookers mingling in just for fun, which the owner had agreed to then.
But now, the visitors were friends of the reservoir owner’s friend, and on his own side, they were merely tagging along with Qiangzi.
Moreover, considering the size of the reservoir and the fact that different areas were arranged, it made no sense to fuss about it anymore!
Starting at noon, it will trouble you to start sending food here, especially the meat skewers and the marinating work for the whole lamb in the evening.
Please take extra care of it!”
“Don’t worry, everything is arranged properly!
It won’t disrupt your event at all!”
After hanging up, Yue Feng returned to the campsite where Qiangzi and Brother Liu had nothing much to do in the morning and had already squatted by the Fishing Box to start fishing.
Yue Feng, having temporarily nothing to do himself, also squatted by the Fishing Box and casually cast a few lines to pass the time.
While Yue Feng leisurely enjoyed his fishing time, Wang Jian and his senior apprentice brother Yu Qulong also got out of their car.
In total, Wang Jian’s group consisted of five people: Wang Jian, Yu Qulong, Xiaobo, Ermao, and Yu Qulong’s friend, Wang Pengfei.
Wang Jian’s ability to come was all due to the favor of Wang Pengfei.
Upon receiving a call from his junior, Yu Qulong asked around his friends and finally got to Wang Pengfei.
The reservoir owner hadn’t lied to Yue Feng; Wang Pengfei was indeed a close brother of Old Liu, and in terms of relationship, he was much closer than Yue Feng’s side.
“It’s been many years since I came here; this reservoir has changed a lot.
Look at that hawthorn tree below; it’s so thick now!
I remember when I last came, they were only as thick as teacups!” Ermao scanned around and exclaimed.
“The environment is quite nice, we arrived a bit late, hurry to unload the equipment, and then tidy up the campsite, and later, bait the traps with the snails we brought!”
“I remember the water is quite deep around here, not sure how the fish are biting!” said Wang Jian while pulling equipment down from the vehicle.
“Yue Feng and the others are up north!
That side is actually better for shallow water fishing in spring, but if we’re aiming for big fish, deeper waters are advantageous!” Yu Qulong pointed with his chin toward the campsite Yue Feng and the others had already set up
“Let’s just have fun, there’s someone in that group across from us who seems to be the son of the mayor or the county chief.
My brother needs a favor from them, so let’s mind our own business and not bum around with them!”
Wang Pengfei, a middle-aged man with a square face and a flat-top haircut, stood upright, the type of posture that was clearly trained.
“Don’t worry, we won’t cause any trouble for your brother!
We’ll mind our own fun!” Yu Qulong promised earnestly.
Have a safe time here, and call me if you need anything, I’ve got other matters to attend to, so I’m heading off now!” Wang Pengfei said, ready to leave after completing his tasks.
We came out together to have fun, how can you run off halfway?
I was planning to have a drink with you at noon!” Yu Qulong tried to persuade him to stay.
“I really do have something else; I’m not lying.
My uncle’s nephew is getting married on May First, and there are a lot of small details to handle at home.
You guys enjoy yourselves here, call me whenever you’ve had enough; I’ll have my brother send over food, nothing will be missed!” Wang Pengfei waved his hand as he spoke.
With all that said, Yu Qulong couldn’t really keep him any longer.
Many get married around May first, and after knowing Wang Pengfei for many years, Yu knew he was always straightforward and never lied.
As Wang Pengfei drove away, Wang Jian and the others were now down to four people.
A few days ago, Yue Feng had livestreamed catching a big Qing fish, which motivated Wang Jian and his friends to find this place through connections, specifically targeting Qing fish, having brought over a hundred pounds of specially purchased screws for baiting.
Though they didn’t frequent Cliff Dam Reservoir much, Wang Jian and his friends were more accustomed to other reservoirs and camping, getting into the swing of things quickly with four people.
Yue Feng had been casting at his fishing spot for a long time.
Technically, the morning should have been a peak time for bites, but there was little action.
The Big Fish Rod hadn’t got anything, only the shorter rod with finer line had managed to catch seven or eight carp of decent size, better than nothing.
Every now and then, Yue Feng would confirm everyone’s location in the WeChat group.
At the moment, the friend closest to Cliff Dam Reservoir was only about twenty kilometers away and would arrive at the destination soon.
Once everyone else had caught up, Yue Feng again confirmed the details with Baby.
Coming from Magic City, it would take about an hour by plane.
Baby and her best friend had already booked their tickets and were still at home, not yet having set out.
How does this outfit look on me?” Baby clung to her best friend’s arm, still undecided.
Su Cheng, somewhat exasperated, blurted out, “Baby, you hopeless romantic, you’ve already asked me that eleven times today!”
“I just want to make a good impression!
Hurry and help me decide!” Baby was unbothered by her best friend’s irritation.
“Sister, you’re going camping, not attending a business banquet.
Wearing high heels and an evening dress is ridiculous!
Just wear a neat set of jeans and a T-shirt, ok!
This is the last time I answer this stupid question, otherwise, madam here isn’t coming with you!” Su Cheng replied, a little annoyed.
“Alright, alright!” Baby pouted, sadly taking off her most beautiful dress once more.
