Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 87 Etiquette

That evening, with Ma Hongjun's help, Xiao Kai found a farmers' market and processed all the fish they had caught.

In the end, Xiao Kai earned a total of 5700 yuan, while Ma Hongjun also made a small profit thanks to Xiao Kai's "golden touch".

After parting ways with Ma Hongjun, Xiao Kai returned to the campsite where he had parked his car near Dianchi Lake.

The next morning, Xiao Kai, led by Ma Hongjun, arrived at a local restaurant serving authentic wild mushroom dishes.

Here, he enjoyed a rare feast of wild mushrooms.

This was Xiao Kai's first time eating such natural wild game, so he was very satisfied.

Something interesting happened during that time.

Xiao Kai witnessed a group of tourists, possibly from out of town, who, defying the warnings, secretly opened the lid of the pot within the time limit set by the waiter and secretly ate a bite of wild mushroom.

The result was predictable: the man's own stupidity landed him in the hospital.

Fortunately, the others in his group were not as reckless as him, which prevented them from being completely wiped out.

After having a wild mushroom feast with Ma Hongjun, Xiao Kai returned to the campsite to rest for a day. The next day, he went fishing at another place led by Ma Hongjun.

For four or five days in a row, Xiao Kai spent his time fishing and resting for one day, until he finally left the beautiful city on April 17th.

Before leaving, Ma Hongjun gave Xiao Kai a large ham, which was said to be a specialty from his hometown.

It's real ham, made from pig thighs through a series of complex processes.

It is said to be a local specialty.

Xiao Kai initially refused, after all, he could tell that this kind of ham was not cheap, and as far as he knew, Ma Hongjun was just an ordinary person. Although he ran a small shop, he was not considered a rich person.

But he couldn't resist Ma Hongjun's enthusiasm and finally had to agree.

Of course, to ensure Ma Hongjun didn't suffer a loss, Xiao Kai gave him a Shimano lure rod and baitcasting reel that Ma Hongjun had bought but hadn't yet opened for backup as a return gift.

Ma Hongjun naturally refused, but after Xiao Kai said, "If you don't want it, I won't accept the ham," he had no choice but to agree.

Afterwards, under Ma Hongjun's slightly reluctant gaze, Xiao Kai drove his pickup truck away from Kunming.

...

Let's go back to April 12th.

Shortly after Xiao Kai and the others left, Xia Xuan, who had recovered and changed into a dress, learned from the rescuers that they had already left.

"What? They're already gone!"

Looking at the rescuers in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Xuan's beautiful eyes. Her expression seemed to be thinking, "How could there be people in this world who really don't ask for anything in return, just to save people?"

She had originally planned to find an opportunity to properly thank Xiao Kai and the others after this matter was over, since without them, they would probably be dead by now.

But now the rescuers are telling her that the person has already left and has not left any contact information.

What was she supposed to do?

She doesn't consider herself the kind of person who would forget kindness, but they simply don't give her a chance.

"What are we going to do now? I should have asked for their contact information earlier!"

Xia Xuan thought to herself with frustration and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Sigh~"

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, Chen Bai, who had already changed his clothes, saw Xia Xuan's worried expression and couldn't help but ask.

"Those two older brothers just left!" Xia Xuan said in a low voice.

"What? They're gone? I was planning to treat them to a meal to thank them properly, why did they leave?"

Hearing this, Chen Bai was also very surprised.

He looked around and, not seeing Xiao Kai and the others, fell silent.

Fortunately, he seemed to have thought of something, paused for a moment, and then looked up and said, "By the way, I think they brought an action camera with them earlier. Maybe they're video bloggers too. Why don't we check it out later? Maybe we'll find them?"

"real?"

Xia Xuan suddenly raised her delicate face and looked at Chen Bai with surprise.

"Um!"

Chen Bai nodded and said, "We'll definitely find it!"

"But we don't know what their ID is either. How are we supposed to find them?" Thinking of this, Xia Xuan's expression turned disappointed again.

Seeing this, Chen Bai comforted them, "It's okay, we'll find them eventually if we keep looking. After all, the circle is only so big, and I think they seem to be carrying fishing rods, so they might be fishing bloggers or something. Let's look in that direction, maybe we'll find them?"

"If we really can't find it, I'll just ask my older brother to post a missing person notice using the company account. I refuse to believe we still can't find it that way!"

When Xia Xuan heard Chen Bai say that he would use the company account to post a missing person notice, she was initially delighted, but then, as if remembering something, she hesitated and said...

Is this a good idea?

Upon hearing this, Chen Bai patted his chest and confidently assured him, "Sure, what's wrong with that? The company's assets belong to my older brother, so what belongs to my brother is also mine. I can make money whenever I want. At worst, I'll confess what happened to my brother, and I'll just stop hiding from the public eye. I don't believe he can't help me find my benefactor!"

"I don't care what others do, but I, Chen Bai, always repay kindness, especially since this saved my life!"

"Okay! Thank you for your help!"

Seeing Chen Bai's confident expression, Xia Xuan's previously disappointed look vanished, replaced by a determined glint in her eyes.

Like Chen Bai, she was someone who always repaid kindness. She was determined to find Xiao Kai and the other person who had saved her, especially Xiao Kai.

It wasn't for any particular reason, but mainly because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get over that mental hurdle.

She simply wanted to personally and sincerely express her gratitude to her benefactor.

......

three days later.

"What? You couldn't find it? Think of another way!"

Five days later.

"Damn, still haven't found it. Keep looking!"

Ten days later.

"Brother, I need your help..."

......

Xiao Kai, completely unaware that he was being searched for all over the world, had been traveling slowly for four days.

On April 21, he finally arrived in Hepu City.

This city holds many memories of Xiao Kai's university years and is a place he will definitely pass through on this trip.

After arriving here, Xiao Kai spent two more days exploring various locations in the city.

Some were from inside the school, and some were from outside the school.

The mala tang (spicy hot pot) restaurant I used to frequent is still there, and the rice noodle roll shop that many students consider the best in Hepu City is still there.

But the movie theater that recorded Xiao Kai's first love in college has disappeared, replaced by another movie theater with better facilities.

During this time, Xiao Kai did not go fishing; he just kept swimming.

When you get tired, drive to the beach to watch the sunset, then find a parking lot to spend the night, and continue the next day.

It wasn't until April 24th, when Xiao Kai received a urging call from Xu Ning, that he had no choice but to embark on his journey again.

After driving for more than five hours, he arrived at the port, and after another hour and a half by ferry, he finally arrived in Yecheng, Hainan Province.

(PS: We've finally arrived at the seaside city. We'll soon be going to do some sea fishing. Please look forward to it, dear readers.)
