Chapter 45

【Mutter the Saito website three times, do you remember? If you don't remember, I'll ask again in the next chapter. It's best to share it on Facebook.】

When Zhao Xinyu heard He Manzhuang's words, he was also taken aback. He hadn't expected that the Lu River would attract the attention of fishing enthusiasts in just a few months.

However, upon reflection, he found it understandable. Apart from the Pengcheng Hotel, the only place to taste the delicious fish from the Lu River was the village's preserved vegetables and farmhouses. Recently, someone had been filming videos in the village every day, so it was quite normal for the Lu River to attract attention.

"Alright, remind them to pay attention to safety. I'll find someone to maintain order and make sure the village children don't go near the Lu River."

After He Manzhuang left, Zhao Xinyu immediately called Han Tianliang, asking him to find some villagers who were good swimmers to go to the Lu River. One reason was to protect the safety of the fishing enthusiasts, and the other was to collect fees for their fishing activities.

A professional-looking angler, looking rather gloomy, walked up to a middle-aged fishing companion not far away, "Brother, how's your catch?"

The middle-aged man looked up at the angler, a hint of helplessness on his face, "Today is really strange. I can't find a good spot. I've changed the bait three times, and after more than three hours, I haven't even caught a single crucian carp. How about you?"

"Same as you. I've been fishing for seven or eight years, but today is the first time this has happened. The fish in the water don't even bite. I went to other spots, and they had the same result, no catch at all."

They were gloomy, and the other anglers were also frustrated. All the fishing enthusiasts who came this time were passionate about fishing. They usually went to different places in their free time.

While they didn't always have a full catch, they at least didn't return empty-handed. But this time was strange. No matter how they changed their spots or bait, the fish in the water seemed to be oblivious to the scent of the bait. After half a day, they hadn't caught a single fish.

Zhao Xinyu, standing outside the eastern wall of the courtyard, watched the fishing situation. He could see the changes in the anglers' expressions. He knew the reason for this.

The fish in the Lu River ate fresh vegetable leaves from his courtyard every day. They naturally wouldn't be interested in the mixed bait.

What surprised Zhao Xinyu was that, despite his previous nearsightedness, he could now clearly see the expressions of the people on the opposite side of the Lu River. He was amazed at the change in his vision and couldn't figure out why his eyesight had become so sharp.

In the end, he could only attribute it to the mysterious space. Apart from the space, he couldn't think of any other reason for the change in his vision.

That day, there were over forty anglers, but only one person caught a carp weighing about four to five pounds. The rest returned empty-handed.

Fishing enthusiasts have their own circles, and the news spread throughout the fishing community that night. Among those posting were some skilled anglers.

The fishing enthusiasts were surprised. They had their own hobbies, and encountering such a situation naturally piqued their curiosity. Many people agreed to try their luck at the Lu River the next day.

The next day, after giving Jiang Pengxin a new acupuncture treatment, Zhao Xinyu pushed him to the grape arbor, giving him some grapes and watermelon. When he went out through the eastern wall, he was stunned.

He saw that the area around the Lu River was densely packed with anglers, estimated to be at least two hundred people, and all those who came the previous day were also present.

After about half an hour, he saw the anglers gathering in groups, seemingly discussing something. However, most of them looked speechless, clearly dissatisfied with their fishing results.

Due to the large number of anglers, Zhao Xinyu saw Han Li moving around, occasionally reminding the fishing enthusiasts to be careful. The sudden appearance of over two hundred anglers also attracted onlookers, and some even live-streamed videos from the Lu River.

As a result, more people learned about the situation at the Lu River. Many people knew that even skilled anglers, some of whom were well-known in the fishing community, couldn't catch a single crucian carp after hours of fishing.

By the end of the day, out of over two hundred people, only a few managed to catch any fish. This frustrated the anglers, who sought advice from experts through live-streaming platforms and the internet on how to catch fish in the Lu River.

That night, more fishing enthusiasts learned about the Lu River in Xihanling, Pengcheng, which was previously unknown.

In the following days, the number of anglers each day exceeded three hundred, with the highest reaching six hundred. However, the number of people who actually caught fish was still very few.

Fishing enthusiasts, like gamblers, have a competitive spirit. The more they failed to catch fish, the more determined they became. In the end, anyone who caught even a single crucian carp would boast about it on social media.

As a result, the Lu River became a gathering place for fishing enthusiasts. However, for many skilled anglers, it also became a place of disappointment. Over a month, famous anglers from all over the country came and left empty-handed.

Because the fish in the Lu River were so difficult to catch, some even called for the national fishing competition to be held there, arguing that only a true champion could win in the Lu River.

A month passed quickly for the fishing enthusiasts, but it was a long wait for the Jiang family. Jiang Fei and Qu Qianfan asked countless times every day, hoping to see their son stand up again.

That day, after diagnosing Jiang Pengxin, Zhao Xinyu patted his shoulder, "Alright, try standing up."

Zhao Xinyu's words made the air tense. Jiang Fei and Qu Qianfan's eyes were fixed on Jiang Pengxin, their lips trembling. They held their breath, hoping to see their son stand up.

Jiang Pengxin took a deep breath, placed his hands on the wheelchair's armrests, and slowly exerted force. After standing up, he sat back down in the wheelchair.

"Master, I have no strength in my legs."

Zhao Xinyu laughed, "After sitting for over three years, anyone would be weak. Jiang Brother, Qian Sister, help Xiao Peng walk a bit. Don't walk for too long, just half an hour. He'll recover in a few days."

When the two helped their son take his first step, tears streamed down their faces. They had sold their house, car, and quit their jobs to help their son stand up again. They had waited for over 1,300 days for this moment.

"Ah!" A cry of surprise came, and the four turned to see Du Mengnan covering her mouth, looking at Jiang Pengxin.

"Xiao Peng, you can walk?" Du Mengnan's eyes were full of shock.

Over the past few months, she had become familiar with the Jiang family and had heard about Jiang Pengxin's condition. She had thought that if Zhao Xinyu could improve his condition, it would be good enough, but she never expected him to be able to stand up again.

"Mengmeng Auntie, I can walk."

"Good, good, being able to walk is great," Du Mengnan's eyes were also filled with tears, moved by the moment.

In her excitement, Du Mengnan suddenly looked at Zhao Xinyu, her eyes shining with a strange light, which made Zhao Xinyu pause, "Mengmeng, what's...?"

But Du Mengnan didn't say a word, turned, and ran away, not walking as usual.

"Mengmeng!"

Du Mengnan waved at him but didn't speak.

"Xinyu, did you and Mengmeng have a disagreement?"

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "No, she came over once before, and you were there. She hasn't come back since then."

At the Du family residence, Du Gang and his wife were walking in the yard when they heard the gate open. They saw a sports car drive into the yard. Du Gang laughed, "Mengmeng must have forgotten something at home."

The old lady also smiled, "Yongchang and his wife are cautious, but this girl is always in a hurry and forgetful."

"Let's go see what she left behind. I might know where she put it."

However, as they approached the villa, they saw Du Mengnan get out of the car and run towards them, which surprised them even more.
