Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 77 A Wedding Invitation from My College Roommate

"Who do we have here? It's the third brother! It's been so long since we last met. I thought you'd forgotten me. What, you missed me?"

Hearing the voice coming from the phone, Xiao Kai's lips curled up slightly, and he greeted the caller in a teasing tone.

"Get lost! I miss you, not you! I miss your wedding gift money! Hurry up, I'm getting married on the 26th of this month. If you can come, great! If you can't, you still have to give me your gift money!" the other person said, clearly annoyed.

"Oh, you're getting married!"

Hearing what was said on the other end, Xiao Kai was clearly surprised.

The person on the other end said, "That's right, you're the only single one out of the four of us. How about I introduce you to my wife's best friend? I wish you find your other half soon!"

Xiao Kai: "Thank you so much, I want to play for another two years!"

The other side: "Fine then ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧!"

The other side: "Seriously, are you even coming?!"

Xiao Kai: "Come on, come on, how could I not come to your big day? I went to my eldest and second eldest son's weddings, how could I not go to yours? That would be so disrespectful!"

The other side: "You're a good guy, aren't you? It's perfect timing since both the eldest and second eldest are coming. We can get together again then. I heard you've been fishing a lot lately. Come over to my place and I'll show you something different. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Xiao Kai: "You said it yourself. If you're not satisfied later, you'll be held responsible!"

Across from him: "Ora ora, remember to come early! I've reserved your spot as best man; I'll pick you up then!"

Xiao Kai: "OK, bye-bye!"

The other side: "Bye-bye!"

...

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Kai sat in the tent, and his mind couldn't help but drift back to his university days.

In the blink of an eye, it's been almost five years since I graduated from university.

Back then, he was quite a well-known figure in college, and he had dated one or two girlfriends. But after a few years, he was the only one left single out of the four brothers in his dorm.

Life is unpredictable. If he remembers correctly, this is the third time he has been a best man, he's practically a professional best man now.

The person who just called him was his college roommate, Xu Ning, who lives in Yecheng, Hainan Province.

He called Xiao Kai to inform him of his wedding.

As his close friend from school days, Xiao Kai had to attend his wedding.

He had originally planned to visit the school when he traveled from Kunming to Lingnan in a while, and also visit him, but he didn't expect him to call first.

No need for all that trouble now, we can just go directly.

However, his plans may have to change a bit.

His original plan was to spend two months traveling throughout Yunnan and Lingnan, but now it seems he has to speed things up, otherwise he won't be able to arrive before the other party's wedding.

Thinking about this, Xiao Kai's thoughts drifted away.

Just as Xiao Kai was considering his next schedule, another phone call came in.

Xiao Kai picked up his phone and saw that it was an unknown number.

Without thinking twice, he pressed the call button.

The moment the call connected, the voice on the other end came through.

"Brother Xiao, this is Ma Hongjun. I contacted you yesterday. Are you up yet?"

"Oh, it's you, bro! I just woke up. Send me your location, I'll come find you later!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

The caller was a fan of Xiao Kai, a man named Ma Hongjun.

He has been following Xiao Kai ever since Xiao Kai started fishing, so he is considered a long-time fan of Xiao Kai.

After learning that Xiao Kai was in Kunming, he, as a local, took the initiative to contact Xiao Kai and said he would take Xiao Kai to some old fishing spots.

Xiao Kai originally didn't want to trouble others, but when he was researching, he found that there were very few fishing spots in Chuncheng.

It's not that we can't find them, it's just that there aren't many fishing spots that meet his requirements.

Since learning lure fishing, he has been working hard to master this fishing method for the past two months.

However, due to the scarcity of lure fishing resources in the areas he passed through, he only encountered small fish such as mandarin fish and whitebait, which were not very large and could not be sold for much money. Therefore, he mostly used platform fishing, which meant he never got to enjoy lure fishing to his heart's content.

So, having arrived in Kunming, he was looking for a suitable place to enjoy lure fishing to his heart's content.

Coincidentally, the fishing spots provided by Ma Hongjun were places where large numbers of carp and mandarin fish could be found.

According to his description, those fishing spots are popular destinations for lure anglers.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai was immediately in favor of it.

That's why we have today's arrangements!

Soon after hanging up the phone with Ma Hongjun, Xiao Kai got down from the camping tent on the roof of the car.

After packing up the tent, Xiao Kai began to wash up, and soon finished his personal hygiene routine.

Then, he drove towards the location provided by Ma Hongjun.

More than ten minutes later, Xiao Kai arrived at the location provided by Ma Hongjun, picked up the other party, and drove towards the target location.

Heading west out of the city, we first took the national highway and then the county road. After more than an hour of traversing mountains and valleys, we finally arrived at a riverbank deep in the mountains.

"Brother Xiao, this is it!"

As soon as the two got out of the car, Ma Hongjun, wearing a green sun-protective suit, immediately pointed to the river in the distance with an excited tone.

The river doesn't look wide, but it's crystal clear and the water looks very clean. Needless to say, there are plenty of stream fish.

Even if there are no perch or mandarin fish in such places, there are definitely plenty of fish that require specific water quality, such as grouper from the Makou Creek.

Xiao Kai nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.

Now I can finally have some fun lure fishing for two days.

Immediately, Xiao Kai eagerly opened the trunk of the vehicle, took out a 2.4-meter Shimano lure rod, and then headed straight for the river with a lure bag full of lure fishing gear.

Ma Hongjun, who was equipped with similar gear, quickly followed.

When the two arrived at the riverbank, they noticed that there were already quite a few people on the river.

There were them on both sides of the river from top to bottom, and it looked quite lively.

Wow, there are quite a lot of people!

As Xiao Kai watched the lure rods constantly swinging and listened to the buzzing sound of the fishing reels, his heart surged with excitement.

"There are some people, but it's Saturday today, so there's nothing we can do. If it were Monday to Friday, there would be far fewer people, and the fishing would definitely be much more enjoyable!" Ma Hongjun explained.

"It's okay, even if there are a lot of people, we can just walk up a bit more!"

As soon as Xiao Kai finished speaking, he saw a dark-skinned lure angler wearing sun protection clothing suddenly jerk up his rod, instantly forming a large arc.

"Holy crap, we've got a fish! Go check it out!"

As he spoke, Xiao Kai rushed over, and Ma Hongjun quickly followed.

Soon, Xiao Kai and his companion arrived at the person who had caught the fish.

By this time, he had pulled the fish back. It was a bass, and it didn't look very big, less than a pound.

But Xiao Kai was itching to see it.

He doesn't seem to have ever fished for bass before.
