After picking up that fishing rod, Chen Yang began to fish by the river. He was incredibly patient, staying there from dawn to dusk.
As a result, this fishing session lasted five days!
For the full five days, Chen Yang remained by the river, fishing with that straight hook, yet there was no sign of any fish taking the bait.
Some people from the village, having heard about this, came over these days to look, pointing and murmuring about Chen Yang.
There were even children who sang mocking rhymes about Chen Yang, running back and forth around him, calling him a fool.
Yang Jing always stayed by Chen Yang's side and could not stand to watch anymore. He drove the children away, angrily saying, "Mr. Chen, are you serious? It's impossible to catch fish with a straight hook!"
He simply couldn't understand why Chen Yang had agreed to that old man's condition, undertaking a task that seemed almost impossible.
