Fishing is a game between man and fish, both sides have to consume physical strength, and the water temperature and dissolved oxygen in the water determine the vitality of the fish. Zhou Xun likes to fish in the summer, especially after cloudy days with light rain or heavy rain below 30 degrees Celsius, when the fish have a high appetite, and it is a good opportunity for him to develop his hobby.

It's just that Zhou Xun's hobby is a little special, he doesn't choose a big river or a pond in the countryside, but likes to fish in the lotus pond at school. Every time the guard left, the guy would sneak into a very obscure place on the border of the playground and the pond, and hide there. The dense lotus leaves cut off the sight between him and the guards, and no one could spot him.

Opposite him is a large wooden sign that says 'No Fishing'. Zhou Xun seemed to like the faint irony of the four words on the wooden sign. This guy is not a student at Pigeon City University, and after graduating from high school, he helped out at a cake shop opened by his parents located nearby. How many years of work, how many years of stealing fish in the pond of the university, have always been happy, and have never been caught.

Early this morning, he came back to continue his hobby. But it didn't take long for Zhou Xun to find that there seemed to be a small number of carp and grass carp in the pond, and they were listless. Pond fish, which have always been stupid, can't wait to bite into it as long as they have bait, but today is a little different. The fish do not eat, and try to avoid the dense lotus stalks in the pond.

It's been almost an hour and a half, and he hasn't caught a single fish.

Zhou Xun scratched his head depressedly, for some reason, he always had a bad feeling in his heart. The heart occasionally beats faster, but what is this reaction called in the scientific name? Heart throbbing! It is said to be a forerunner of an ominous event. He wanted to get away with it. But tonight's desire to eat braised carp still prevails, so let's fish for another hour and take a look, and leave if you don't catch anything.

With that in mind, he re-wrapped the bait that the carp liked to eat on the hook.

The hook hangs into the water, rippling with a ** water pattern. The disturbed calm water waves were disturbed by the layers of lotus leaves, and soon peace was restored again. But this tranquility made Zhou Xun more and more uneasy.

He blinked, and in the clear water, the hook had sunk to the bottom of the pool, waiting there peacefully. One of the carps swam by, touched the bait, and then turned away. Zhou Xun followed the carp with his eyes very regretfully, and suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and then showed a shocked expression!

I saw that there seemed to be something incomplete on the carp with a long shadow dragging it. It's the head! The carp's head is missing. A carp that was intact a few seconds ago lost its head in the blink of an eye. And the whole fish was swimming happily as if it were unconscious.

The headless carp swam around the roots of the pond lotus a few times, and Zhou Xun vaguely saw some brown, very thin rope-like things quickly poking out of the mud, densely entangled the carp's body. He rubbed his eyes again in disbelief, and when he opened them, the carp was completely gone.

The pond was still calm and unwavering, and there was not a trace of blood, like a daydream. Zhou Xun looked at the place where the carp disappeared in a daze, and it took a long time to react. He couldn't figure out whether he should scream in fear or react otherwise.

But for him, who has always adhered to atheism, the scene in front of him is more like an illusion.

"My mother muttered to me not to play games for too long, staying up late is really not good for my health. I'm hallucinating! Zhou Xun gently hammered his temple with his hand, giving a reasonable explanation for the scene that had just happened.

So the poaching operation continued. After another half hour or so, there was still no gain. He hadn't seen a single fish for half an hour. Usually there are dozens of fish, and dozens of fish swim around, so you don't have to worry about the number of fish at all.

But everything today seems to be a little abnormal.

At that moment, a fist-sized ball slashed in a graceful arc and landed right next to his hand. He fixed his eyes and saw that it was a yellow tennis ball. Zhou Xun stood up and looked in the direction of the playground. The place where he took refuge was a small tennis court, and the court of Pigeon City University only had a very low guardrail, and it was easy to fly over the barricade when playing tennis, and it became very troublesome to pick it up.

The people in the tennis court clearly saw him, waving their hands excitedly. It was two girls who looked quite cute, and one of the girls who was closer was wearing a ponytail, holding the guardrail with both hands and shouting: "This classmate, please help us throw the ball in." Thank you so much! ”

"No problem, you guys wait." Zhou Xun is happy, the current female students are really well developed and full of youthful vitality. Fishing or something, take this opportunity to exchange feelings with those two girls, and maybe develop a stunning love affair that crosses the gap between society and school.

With impure thoughts, Zhou Xun picked up the tennis ball energetically and struggled to walk towards the playground from the grass pile where he was dodging. The pond and the playground are separated by a low green belt, about 7 meters wide, planted with sparse trees, which are not carefully tended, so the plants in the green belt are very messy, and the one meter near the ground is full of wild grass.

The net of the tennis court is erected at the junction of the weeds and the playground, and Zhou Xun tries to maintain what he thinks is a perfect smile while crossing the weeds, but this guy doesn't dare to compliment his appearance, and even if he laughs, it's no different from crying, and he belongs to the type that can scare children from crying.

"Saved! It's really troublesome to find the ball in the grass. The two girls thanked him again and again, and watched him come closer.

Zhou Xun looked at the two girls full of youth, and his heart was about to move, and he felt more and more that the plan to start a beautiful relationship had a great chance of starting a good relationship: "It's okay, a man's obligation is to help the lady pick up the ball." How do I give you the ball? ”

The mesh of the barricade is so small that it is obviously impossible to fit in.

"Just throw it from above." The entrance to the tennis court is on the other side, and you need to make a big circle to get in and out. The girl said with an apologetic look and folded her hands.

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Xun tossed the ball in a posture that he thought was very handsome, and he felt that this posture would definitely charm the girl in front of him who was not familiar with the world and had little social experience. But it backfired, the yellow tennis ball crossed a not-so-graceful arc, hit the net, which was not high, bounced off and fell, and smashed into Zhou Xun's right eye.
