The sun rose in the morning.

When the sky was still just beginning to brighten, a few lights were lit up in the village.

Li Yizheng had been waiting in front of Qi Hang’s house for a long time, intending to help him get the equipment needed for fishing.

In the end, Qi Hang came out with a fishing rod and a fishing net.

“…”

Li Yizheng was speechless. “You’re not thinking of fishing in the sea with a fishing rod, are you?”

Qi Hang also looked at him in surprise. “What else could I do?”

“F*ck, you should at least have prepared a better guy. What can you catch with this?”

“If the rod is not good-looking, the person must be good-looking.” Qi Hang smiled confidently and walked forward.

Li Yizheng was stunned by his words. After a long while, he scratched his head. “Forget it. When the time comes, I will bring a bag of cherries that sister Qing likes to eat and beg her. Sigh…”

He shook his head, feeling that Qi Hang’s trip would definitely end in failure.

When the two of them arrived at the agreed location, near the rocky beach on the coast, they found that a group of neighbors and relatives had gathered here.

It seemed that they were here to watch the show.

Fang Qing was among the crowd. When she saw Qi Hang and Li Yizheng appear, she immediately raised her hand to signal.

“This way.”

They immediately walked over.

However, when Fang Qing saw the rod in Qi Hang’s hand, she immediately burst out laughing. “You know that you can’t win, so you just casually brought a fishing rod over to make do.”

The surrounding villagers also chimed in with a laugh.

“Little Hang is indeed good at studying, but his fishing experience is still not as good as ours. Why did he just bring a fishing rod over?”

“The sea fish are all far away. If you don’t throw them over tens of meters away, you basically won’t get anything. Little Hang is still young.”

“Little Hang, you’re not thinking of taking a boat to the sea to fish, right? But we didn’t prepare any boats here.”

Faced with the doubtful voices, Qi Hang did not respond and stood on the shore.

“Shall we begin?” Fang Qing tilted her head and asked.

“Let’s begin.”

Qi Hang nodded and closed his eyes, sensing the sea through the Heart of the Ocean.

For a moment, all the creatures within a thousand meters of the sea were under his control.

The strengthened five senses gathered all the information in the sea through the Heart of the Ocean.

It was as if a holographic projection had formed in his mind, and no trace could escape his detection.

He could clearly see what fish were there, where they were, and where they were heading.

The nearest one was a large group of stone patches, which were below the reef turbulence near the sea.

On Fang Qing’s side, she took out her fishing equipment, such as a glass fishing rod, a glass line, and a bunch of things that looked very professional. She quickly hung the bait and swung the rod.

Looking at Qi Hang, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed and enjoying the sea breeze, she shook her head slightly. The corners of her mouth were filled with a confident smile as she put her mind into the rod.

It did not take long before she began to reel in the line.

Under the expectant gazes of the villagers, a black snapper weighing more than one kilogram entered the bucket.

Qi Hang was still resting with his eyes closed.

Fang Qing hung the bait and cast the rod again. In less than five minutes, she had harvested another mackerel weighing almost two kilograms.

Qi Hang was still resting with his eyes closed.

Li Yizheng, who was at the side, could not stand it any longer. He turned around and left the scene. He planned to find someone in the village to borrow a small boat and bring Qi Hang to the sea to fish.

The onlookers did not have any expectations for Qi Hang anymore. They were all praising Fang Qing’s superb fishing skills. Even old men like them could not compare to her.

However, at this moment, Qi Hang moved.

He leaped into the turbulent water and advanced toward the waves.

This sudden move shocked everyone.

“Little Hang, what are you doing? Come back quickly. It’s very dangerous outside!”

“It’s not safe near the sea. Hurry up. Did you bring a raft?”

“Little Hang, don’t be anxious even if you can’t catch fish!”

Even Fang Qing stood up in surprise. She thought that she had stimulated Qi Hang’s self-esteem, so she quickly shouted, “Qi hang, don’t be rash. Come back!”

However, Qi hang turned a deaf ear to this and continued to swim toward a certain place with all his might.

His figure sank into the waves of the sea from time to time, causing the surrounding spectators to break out in cold sweat for him.

If one encountered a big wave on the sea, if one did not react well to it, one would be knocked out by the big wave.

At that time, it would be very dangerous.

However, after a nearly one-meter-tall big wave crashed over, he was still safe and sound. At this time, someone finally noticed the abnormality.

“Xiao Hang’s swimming ability is pretty good. When did he practice it?”

“I was wondering the same thing. Didn’t he go to school in the city? He hasn’t come back for five years.”

“Old Huang, didn’t you always boast when you were young that you could cross the sea one thousand meters with your bare hands? Little Hang has already completed more than half of it. Who has seen your verbal record?”

“Go, go, go. You’re already so old, yet you’re still criticizing me. Compare yourself to Little Hang!”

Qi Hang’s performance was completely out of everyone’s expectations.

This child was mischievous when he was young, but he was also exceptionally serious when he went to school and studied. When other children went out to sea to learn crafts from their parents, he would study hard at home and delve into the topics.

It could be said that Qi Hang could be considered half a landlubber in the village. He was completely incomparable to children of the same age in terms of water quality.

But now…

Even if he was compared to the best man in the village in terms of his ability to swim, he was not much inferior.

“All of you, stop arguing. Where’s Little Hang? Why can’t I see him?” Someone in the crowd suddenly said hurriedly.

“Is… is it because we swam too far that we can’t see clearly?”

“Qing, go and take a closer look. We old fellows have blurred vision and are no longer of any use.”

The lives of people were at stake. Fang Qing did not dare to delay. She put down the fishing rod and stood up to find a higher spot, looking far into the distance.

At a glance, the waves were sparkling. It was difficult to find Qi Hang’s figure in the flickering sea.

“How is it?” Someone below asked.

“I also… can’t see clearly…” Fang Qing was not very sure. She said instead, “why don’t we find someone to go out on the boat? Don’t let anything really happen.”

“Okay, I’ll go and get a boat right now!”

The villagers of Gu Fan Village were very simple. They did not shirk their responsibilities when something happened. Without saying a word, they turned around and rushed to the place where the village had stopped the boat.

At this time, Qi Hang had actually just dived into the water and used his enhanced five senses to listen to the movements of the fish in the sea.

After experiencing it personally, the feeling of control became even stronger.

Because of this, Qi Hang also discovered a fish species that was even more precious than grouper — the big yellow croaker!

He heard a group of big yellow croaker fish swimming.

The vibration of the swim bladder emitted a sound like the waves of the pine tree. Under the enhancement of the heart of the sea, it could be clearly heard.

There they were!
