Xue Yuantong shrank back, "What's inside this kind of hole?"
There might be wild snakes… Xue Chuchu didn't specify, she said,
Jiang Ning stood on the other side and found a new lobster hole, quite a big one.
"Come over here," he called.
Xue Chuchu moved closer and assessed the situation.
Jiang Ning asked, "What do you think?"
"I'll give it a try," Xue Chuchu said, "There should be a big one inside."
Previously, Tongtong was the main force; she rarely took action herself.
Xue Yuantong: "Go for it, Chuchu! If you get scared, I'll help you!"
She had never had such confidence before; she had failed to catch fish in the past, nearly fell into the river, and endured months of mockery and disdain—today, she had finally turned things around.
Thus, she dared to speak such bold words.
Xue Chuchu didn't speak, she looked for a good spot.
She crouched down, her lithe waist bending, slim enough to wrap a hand around. Moving upward, the line of her chest shyly hidden beneath thin fabric, though not too prominent, she was still one of the best among her peers.
A cascade of jet-black hair fell down, her pristine face with eyes like water carried a hint of aloof coolness, as though she could see through everything.
Yet, such a captivating young lady stretching her fair wrist into the mud seemed terribly messy.
Xue Chuchu might seem out of place, but was actually experienced.
She reached inside the hole, her eyebrows twitched, and she retracted her hand,
Inside Jiang Ning's Divine Sense, a lobster inside the hole raised its claws, ready to strike.
This was one of the most difficult scenarios in lobster fishing.
However, Xue Chuchu was calm and collected, she continually provoked, and the lobster missed its attacks each time.
Xue Chuchu's eyes sparkled; her fingers came together, pressed against the hole's wall, she bypassed the lobster's claws from the side, then suddenly grasped the lobster by the spine, twisting it around.
Things went smoothly afterward; Xue Chuchu pulled the lobster out of the hole.
"What a big one!" Geng Lu exclaimed.
Xue Yuantong: "It's so meaty!"
Compared to the lobsters they had caught before, this one was huge, almost like their ancestor.
The 'big lobster' was a deep jet-black color with profound dark red undertones, two long whiskers like needles, covered in much mud that couldn't hide its majestic nondomestic stance, especially its tail, which was particularly robust.
The lobster crawled on the ground, moving its claws and legs, demonstrating its grandeur.
Xue Chuchu smiled: "Much bigger than the regular little ones."
Jiang Ning nodded, "It must weigh about two or three taels."
No one was more excited than Xue Yuantong, who circled around the lobster, thinking about how they would eat it for lunch.
Geng Lu took her phone out and took a couple of photos of the big lobster, and a couple more of the red bucket.
Before proceeding she asked, "I'm planning to send these to the class group."
Geng Lu had never had such an experience before and really wanted to share it.
Jiang Ning had no objections: "Go ahead."
The river dam area was secluded, but the signal was still quite good. Geng Lu uploaded a few pictures to the class group; everyone was chatting sporadically, but upon seeing the images of the little lobsters, they immediately started asking questions.
Lu Qiqi: "Where did you get those lobsters? I was planning to go out to eat them today."
Wang Longlong: "My gosh, that's no small catch."
Geng Lu also snapped photos of the river dam pond and of Jiang Ning: "Caught them by the riverside."
Guo Kunnan: "OMG, are you and Jiang Ning fishing for lobsters?"
Chen Siyu: "Why didn't you invite me when you guys hang out? (sad)"
Geng Lu: "Hahaha, we'll call you next time."
"Jiang Ning didn't do much; it was me and Xue Yuantong who caught them."
Shen Qing'e silently watched the chat.
Yu Wen: "Aren't you scared of being pinched? Little lobsters are terrifying!"
Geng Lu typed: "Not really, it's quite simple, you just need to be bold."
Dan Kaiquan: "Indeed it's simple. What's a lobster after all? I used to handle them with just one hand."
Guo Kunnan: "Who wasn't like that in the past. I even dared to catch praying mantises, snakes, and locusts. Sigh, not anymore."
Wang Longlong lamented: "Getting old, getting old."
Hu Jun: "I still dare."
