Chapter 116 Fishing Competition
Lin Mo heard the two people's whispers, and arrogantly folded his arms, with a disdainful smile on his lips: "Even if you two brothers come together, you may not be able to defeat me!"

"Don't be so sure!" Ling Xiaolei raised his chin. The scene of uncle and nephew being respectful at that time now became full of tension.

After all, if Ling Xiaolei was asked to choose between his brother and uncle, Ling Xiaolei would still stand firmly by his brother's side.

So when faced with Lin Mo's open challenge to the two of them, the two brothers became even more tied together.

However, Ling Xiaoguang did not think so. If the two of them won, it would be an unfair victory, but if they both lost, it would be even more embarrassing.

"Why don't the three of us compete? This way it will at least be fairer. For Lin Mo, it will also be an extra competitor." Ling Xiaoguang suggested.

Ling Xiaolei was sad for a moment when his brother didn't want to team up with him, but then he thought, isn't it obvious that his brother doesn't want to bully the weak with his superior numbers?

He had not thought it through just now, so he was still able to accept his brother's proposal with pleasure.

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows. He was indeed unwilling to accept the result. After all, the chances of winning with two people were definitely higher than that of one person. However, he had experience in catching fish before, and he was alone in the team, so he was not at a disadvantage.

But I always feel uncomfortable, as if I have been excluded from the brotherhood.

Humph, are you bullying me for not having brothers? It's a pity that my eldest brother is also working outside now, otherwise he and his brother would join hands and teach these two brothers a lesson.

Thinking of the scene where Ling Xiaoguang begged for mercy, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.

The two brothers looked at Lin Mo who was laughing for no apparent reason and were confused for a moment. Why was Lin Mo laughing before the exam even started? Did he think he was going to win?

"Hey, uncle, now is not the time for you to laugh, otherwise you will cry soon." Ling Xiaolei said harshly to Lin Mo.

“In that case, let’s wait and see who catches the fish. There’s no point in saying more now.” Lin Mo looked determined to win. He bent down again and looked in the direction of the river with a sharp gaze.

Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei also stood on either side of Lin Mo, and the three of them moved in surprisingly consistent steps.

After waiting for a long time, they didn't see any fish swimming towards them. For a moment, Ling Xiaolei lost his patience.

"Uncle, can we really catch fish here?" Ling Xiaolei's face was already sweating. There was cool river water under his feet, but there was a scorching sun above his head. Ling Xiaolei felt that if he was exposed to the sun for a while longer, he would be melted.

"Shh, don't make any noise." Lin Mo's expression was very serious, and he even tried to lower his voice.

Ling Xiaolei curled his lips. His voice wasn't that loud, and there were indeed no fish at the moment.

Just when he was about to give up, he finally saw a fish swimming downstream, and the fish seemed to be swimming in the direction of Lin Mo.

At this time, Lin Mo was determined to win.

He glanced proudly at the two brothers around him.

Ling Xiaolei thought, how can this be possible? Is he just going to let Lin Mo sit here and wait for the fish to come? Then he and his brother will definitely lose? He must not let Lin Mo catch the fish so easily! So Ling Xiaolei took two steps forward. Who would have thought that with just such a small action, the fish was startled and began to shake its tail upstream, trying to return to its previous position.

However, the water flowed too fast, and no matter how hard it struggled, it was of no avail. This gave Lin Mo and the other two a better opportunity, which meant that catching the fish was almost a piece of cake.

The three of them stared at the little fish, and when they saw the right opportunity, they pounced forward, intending to hold the fish in their arms.

But who would have thought that when they pounced, the three men's heads all hit each other, making a "bang" sound, and all three of them missed.

Not only that, the little fish swam right between their apart legs, and now not only were their clothes soaked, but even their pants were soaked.

The three of them looked at each other, all of them at a loss and speechless for a moment. If the three of them did not have such a tacit understanding, the fish would have been caught by one of them.

Then I don't know who laughed first, and then the three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Although none of the three caught any fish, it was obvious that the relationship between the three had become stronger. After all, they had experienced picking mushrooms and catching fish together and were no longer just acquaintances.

The friendship between boys is so inexplicable and simple.

Later, it was Lin Mo who changed his strategy: "If we want to catch fish, we can't have three people working in one direction. It's better to do it one by one and slowly, so that we don't have to rush around."

"By then it will be clear who can catch the fish. If you are worried that you will not be familiar with it because it is your first time catching fish, I can show you a demonstration first." Lin Mo said, patting his wet chest.

The two brothers naturally had no objection. Lin Mo felt that wearing wet clothes was a nuisance, so he simply took them off and hung them on a tree branch by the river. He only wore his pants and continued to bend over and wait for the fish to pass by.

The two brothers watched Lin Mo hang up the clothes, and they also hung the clothes on the tree branches. Although Ling Xiaoguang's tree-climbing skills were not flexible enough, he still hung up the clothes smoothly and helped his younger brother to hang them up as well.

Lin Mo was waiting patiently, but he failed to catch the fish several times because the fish were too slippery. Ling Xiaolei suggested changing people, but he felt that he would lose face if he did so.

But if he continues to fail to catch the target, he will lose more and more face, so he has no choice but to change players.

Ling Xiaoguang was the second one. This time, he did not simply block it with his hands like Lin Mo did. Instead, he borrowed Ling Xiaolei's bamboo basket. He had used it to hold mushrooms in the morning, and now it was just the right size to hold the fish.

And there happened to be two fish baskets, so the chances of the fish escaping were even smaller.

Lin Mo never thought that Ling Xiaoguang could actually think of this operation. It made him look like he was trying to get something for nothing, which was a bit stupid.

No wonder Ling Xiaoguang is such a top student, now he has learned it too!

However, even with the help of the fish basket, it was always difficult to control and was washed away by the water flow. Although I almost caught fish several times, the fish would jump out of the fish basket after a few strong tail swings.

Soon, Ling Xiaoguang also announced that his strategy had failed.

Ling Xiaolei was even more discouraged by his brother's failure. His brother and uncle had failed to catch fish, so how could he catch fish? Or should he just give up now?
