Although others had no idea what the fox demon was so proud of, there must be a reason behind her confidence!

This was the first time Lin Xi had heard that the fox demon was called Xiao Hong. Hearing this nickname, and looking at the charming and beautiful fox demon in front of her...

There was indeed a certain disconnect for a time.

Fortunately, she only felt a little sentimental in her heart and quickly checked on Duan Zhengcun's situation.

Her real purpose in coming here was to help him solve his problem.

Judging from Duan Zhengcun's appearance, he is indeed a good person, both inside and out.

He did look unwell at that moment; his lips were pale, his face was bloodless, and his brows would occasionally furrow slightly, probably because he was in pain somewhere in his body.

In short, he looked extremely weak.

But apart from what could be seen on his face, just as the fox demon had said, no other sinister aura could be sensed from him.

This made Lin Xi suspicious. Could it be that Duan Zhengcun had a psychological problem, which then affected his physical health?

However, according to the fox demon, Duan Zhengcun was perfectly fine before this, and these symptoms suddenly appeared one day.

Although Lin Xi had not studied psychology, she did not know whether psychological problems required a trigger or were a gradually evolving behavior.

But as a demon, a fox spirit is more perceptive about everything.

Especially her husband, with whom she spends every day, if he does anything wrong, she will definitely be able to notice it, relying on her demonic intuition and observation skills.

Therefore, Lin Xi actually trusted the fox demon's judgment more.

Since Duan Zhengcun hadn't shown any unusual behavior before, the problem might have occurred when he was fishing that day.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi immediately asked Duan Zhengcun.

"Did anything strange happen when you were fishing that day?"

Before Duan Zhengcun could speak, the fox demon nudged his arm and urged him on.

"Quickly tell the master!"

Duan Zhengcun then quickly recalled the situation at that time.

He went fishing a few days ago.

That day, the fox spirit said she wanted to get her nails done in the city center. Duan Zhengcun had accompanied her there once before, but was ruthlessly driven away by the fox spirit in the end.

Because she felt that Duan Zhengcun was sitting next to her and was bored, she told him to pass the time on his own and not to keep her company.

Of course, the main reason is that with him by her side, she can't gossip with the nail technician.

So ever since then, every time the fox demon goes to get her nails done, Duan Zhengcun stays by himself.

That day, he realized he hadn't gone fishing in a long time, and he happened to find a relatively unpopular spot with plenty of fish in a newly joined fishing group.

When that angler posted the location, many people in the group said that the place was indeed good, but it was a bit too far for them, and they could only drive there to fish during their holidays.

But when Duan Zhengcun looked at the detailed address, he found that the place was quite close to where he lived; it would only take less than half an hour to drive there.

When a fox spirit gets her nails done, it usually takes several hours.

He drives to go fishing, and on his way back, he might just happen to run into her on her way home.

After considering it all, he decisively grabbed his tools and set off.

Half an hour later, he successfully arrived at the secluded fishing spot.

It was a wild stream hidden within a lush bamboo forest.

The pond was surrounded by densely packed tall bamboos, and there was no human habitation for at least ten miles around. There were no houses or even farmland.

However, although the place is desolate, it is a rare treasure for anglers.

After all, the fact that this place is desolate and remote means that no one else has discovered it, so there is certainly no one competing with him for fishing resources.

Du Zhengcun was pleasantly surprised. He grabbed his fishing gear, locked the car door, and began searching for a suitable fishing spot along the edge of the bamboo forest.

There are many techniques for choosing a fishing spot. For example, choose a place where deep and shallow water meet, as food tends to gather there, and fish like to come to such places.

Or, areas with aquatic plants, dead branches, or piles of rocks on the water's surface provide fish with places to hide, making them feel safer.

Of course, in addition to paying attention to the fish population, we also need to consider whether it's comfortable for people to stand in.

If you are prepared, you can clear away the weeds or thorns on the bank to create a suitable spot for fishing.

If you're unprepared, you can only find a relatively good spot to stand.

I saw a picture posted by a fellow angler in the group before. There weren't many weeds or thorns near the bamboo forest, just a lot of fallen bamboo leaves.

Therefore, Duan Zhengcun did not bring any wood-chopping knives or similar items.

He kept walking forward and finally found a good fishing spot in the middle of the stream.

It was an old stone bridge spanning the two banks of a wild stream.

The stone bridge surface was covered with moss, but fortunately the main structure was still intact and there was no sign of collapse.

Furthermore, the marks on the stone bridge indicate that there are still footprints on it.

Perhaps fishermen have stood on it before.

Duan Zhengcun checked the stability of the stone bridge several times, and only after finding that there were no problems did he carry his things and walk up.

The water flows downhill, forming a gentle slope at the stone bridge. Some dead branches and leaves float on the lower side of the water, making it a great fishing spot.

After Duan Zhengcun went up the stone bridge, he quickly completed all the preparations for fishing and then cast his first line of hope.

The water here is of good quality and there are many fish; you can vaguely see the fish swimming below through the water's surface.

But for some reason, even though all the fish saw the food he had hung on the hook, not a single one swam over to eat it.

Duan Zhengcun realized that the fish here seemed to be quite clever.

But this makes fishing more challenging.

So he waited patiently.

The bamboo forests on both sides of the stream are really dense, with tall bamboos and many leaves.

The weather was fine that day, sunny and bright, but as soon as Duan Zhengcun stepped into the wild stream area, he could clearly feel that the temperature here was a bit lower than outside.

At the time, he was so excited to have finally found such a good fishing spot that he didn't pay much attention to the temperature change.

As I waited quietly for the fish to bite, I gradually began to feel the chill.

In early April, the temperature in Jiangyu was already quite high, and with the good weather on this particular day, the highest temperature reached 23 degrees Celsius.

At this temperature, you won't feel cold at all; in fact, people in good health could even wear short sleeves.

But Duan Zhengcun was standing on the water at the time, and the sunlight overhead was blocked by the bamboo leaves on both banks, so he didn't find it strange that he felt a chill.

Feeling cold wasn't what bothered him the most; what bothered him the most was that despite having so many fish in the water, not a single one had taken the bait.
