Chapter 52

Seeing that he was not taking the bait, Liang Chumo thought for a moment, took out a dagger inlaid with gems, and waved it at Huo Rui, saying, "Huo Rui, don't you want this dagger of mine? If you beat me, this dagger will be yours, how about it?"

It has to be said that Huo Rui was somewhat tempted, but he also knew very well that if he continued like this, he would not be able to catch any fish. Unless you find another way. How to catch fish? qδ

He glanced at Luo Chaoyan. This woman must be hoping that he would lose, so she would not help him. And he wouldn't beg that woman. If we had the net bag they usually use to catch butterflies, we could give it a try, but there is none here now.

He looked at Huo Yu and whispered, "Have you thought of any way to catch fish?"

"No." Huo Yu said honestly.

Huo Rui was so frustrated that he glared at him and said, "Don't you think you are very smart?"

Huo Yu rolled his eyes at him and said matter-of-factly: "I'm not a fisherman."

Who is still the fisherman? This nerd really has a way of making people angry.

Huo Rui frowned. He saw Liang Chumo still looking at him arrogantly, holding the dagger in his hand and cutting a branch. He blinked. Was this guy trying to use a sharpened branch to stab the fish? It seems feasible. But this requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. He was sure that he and the nerd Huo Yu could not compare to that guy.

etc! The nerd just now was talking about the fisherman? How do fishermen catch fish? They certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to catch it with bare hands like they are doing now.

That’s right! It's a fishing net! As long as he can find a way to get a fishing net, he can catch fish. He looked around. There were weeds on both sides of the stream. There was nothing that could be used to make a fishing net. He glanced at Luo Chaoyan and suddenly had an idea.

He looked at Luo Chaoyan meaningfully, then raised his head and said to Liang Chumo: "Liang Chumo, if you lose, are you really willing to give me your dagger?" He had seen the power of this dagger. It was so sharp that it could cut through iron like mud.

"Of course!" Liang Chumo said confidently.

"But if you lose, you have to give me your Nine-Chain Chain."

Before Huo Rui could answer, Huo Yu got angry. He had been coveting the Nine-Locking Chain for a long time, but it was a gift from the emperor, and Huo Rui rarely took it to play in school. He only gave Huo Rui the chance to play occasionally when he was helping him copy books.

"Liang Chumo, you are good at fighting. This Nine-Lock Chain requires a person of extraordinary wisdom to play. It would be a waste if you take it back."

The implication is that you are a warrior with little intelligence, so you'd better not play something that tests your intelligence.

Ha ha!

Luo Chaoyan tried her best to hold back her laughter. Huo Yu was really vicious in his insults!

"You!" Liang Chumo glared at him angrily and said, "You are a weak nerd!"

Huo Rui asked: "Liang Chumo, are you still going to gamble?"

"Of course!" Liang Chumo said, "Let me make it clear first, you can't let Mrs. Huo help you with your ideas this time, and you can't play that Tian Ji horse racing conspiracy again."

Huo Rui looked indifferent and said, "Sure!"

Huo Yu frowned, looked at Huo Rui and said: "The Nine-Chain Chain is a gift from the emperor. If you lose..."

"Can't you think of me a little better?" Huo Rui said unhappily.

Huo Yu looked at the two people who had gained nothing so far, and said with his hands spread out, "Isn't this obvious?"

Huo Rui glared at him and said, "Just listen to me. Also, I'm warning you, if you don't cooperate with me, I won't let you play the Nine Locks Chain again."

"Do you really have a solution?" Huo Yu expressed his doubt. He was indeed planning to just deal with the matter. He already knew the outcome anyway, so why bother doing something that was thankless.

Huo Rui glared at him angrily, "Am I the kind of person who is unsure of what to do?"

Huo Yu thought about it, then nodded seriously.

Huo Rui took a few deep breaths and said, "Don't be angry!" Remind yourself not to bother with the nerd, because if you don't win, it will blind his eyes.

He looked at Liang Chumo and asked, "How do we compare?"

Liang Chumo thought for a moment and said, "How about this? We will form groups of two and have someone count on the side until we reach 200. Whoever catches the most fish will win."

"Okay! Let's do it." Huo Rui nodded.

Liang Chumo looked determined and said with a smile, "Cousin, let's go first and give Huo Rui some time to reminisce about the days when the Nine Locks were still in his hands."

Liang Chumo and Liang Chuxun took the cut branches, took off their shoes and socks, and went down into the stream.

Yin Miaoshan said, "Cousin, looking at this situation, your stepson might lose."

"Maybe?" Luo Chaoyan looked at Huo Rui and saw that he was not anxious at all. I don't know what he is thinking, but he is so calm. The sun really rises in the west. Or was it that he had been trained to remain calm after being tormented by her too many times? She is indeed too kind!

"Cousin, aren't you worried at all?" Yin Miaoshan said.

Luo Chaoyan looked at her with an innocent look on her face and said, "Do I look like a kind stepmother?"

Well! All right! Boy from the Huo family, you have to be self-reliant.

When Liang Chumo and Liang Chuxun were at home, someone specially taught them shooting, so stabbing fish was not a problem for them at all. Every time you insert it, it works.

Soon, they had thrown several fish into the stream.

They did not go ashore until the man who was counting had counted two hundred.

A servant counted carefully and said, "Young masters have caught fifteen fish!"

Liang Chumo looked proud and satisfied. After all, time was limited and such a record was not bad. He looked at Huo Rui proudly and said, "It's your turn now."

Huo Yu looked at Huo Rui, signaling him to quickly tell him the solution.

Huo Rui walked up to Luo Chaoyan and looked at her carefully.

"What's wrong? You want me to give you advice again? You don't..."

Huo Rui interrupted her and said, "Lend me your coat."

Luo Chaoyan was stunned and asked, "What do you want this for?"

"I can't stand the cold!"

Who are you kidding! etc! Why hers? Luo Chaoyan looked around and found that she seemed to be the only one wearing a coat today. Although she was confused, she still took off her coat and handed it to him.

Huo Rui looked at the coat in his hand, tugged at it, nodded, and said, "Not bad, it's pretty sturdy."

He walked up to Liang Chumo with the clothes in his hand and said, "Let me lend you my dagger!"

Liang Chumo didn't doubt it and handed it to him generously.

Huo Rui took the clothes and the dagger, walked to an open space, spread the clothes on the ground, and stabbed the clothes with the dagger one by one. He wasn't satisfied until the entire garment was covered with tiny holes.

Everyone was stunned by this action.

Luo Chaoyan just felt a toothache. This guy was taking revenge on her. How did her clothes offend him? And why did she feel like this guy was poking her like the clothes? Is this the legendary voodoo figurine? She suddenly felt itchy and wanted to hit someone. What should she do?

Amidst everyone's stunned gazes, Huo Rui picked up his clothes, waved them towards Luo Chaoyan, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your "fishing net"! "

Fishing net?

Think about it, that piece of clothing full of holes is just a fishing net.

“Puff!”

Yin Miaoshan couldn't help laughing. What kind of magical idea does this kid from the Huo family have? Is this even possible?

Huo Rui looked at Huo Yu and said, "Let's go."

The corners of Huo Yu's lips twitched. Is this "fishing net" really effective?
