Chapter 291: Chapter 270: Is She Challenging Him?

The old fisherman was clearly displeased with Ji Xizhi’s arrival.

Spear fishing is a skillful task; the fish under the sea are not like other animals, they swim fast, and any slight movement will scare them away, making them impossible to spear.

He held a specially-made tool in his hand, wearing a dedicated headlamp, the light illuminating the sea, focused and serious.

His gaze never once properly acknowledged Ji Xizhi, only giving her a sidelong glance when he couldn’t find any fish.

His mouth was full of impatience.

“If you’re here to film a show, then film it, don’t pull these useless tricks. Don’t bring that pitch-black big light over here, it’s annoying just to look at!”

The old fisherman muttered, his attitude extremely unfriendly.

The audience in the show’s live streaming room were also a bit upset seeing the old fisherman’s attitude.

[No need to be so fierce, Ji Xizhi is just here to look around!]

[Come on, it’s their territory, they are the uninvited guests! The villagers have every reason to be upset, I would be too!] The rightful source is Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

[The filming should have been pre-notified to each village, Director Wang even bought off the entire Xianyu Village where the guests are staying, surely they didn’t forget others!]

[But the old fisherman is right, spearing fish is really tough, Zhi Zhi should go dig clams instead!]

[Uncle Wang, play back the second episode, where Ji Xizhi throws the javelin (oops, it’s a shovel!)]

[??? No need to play it back, the image automatically plays in my head, even though Ji Xizhi has only filmed a few episodes, it’s like it’s etched in my brain!]

The fans’ discussions veered off course.

But they did guess one thing right.

Since Director Wang’s “Life Experience” exploded in popularity (led astray by Ji Xizhi), he’s become much more meticulous.

Before coming to this coast for filming, the production team had indeed informed everyone in advance, and the surrounding residents had no dissatisfaction about something that brings money and puts their hometown on TV. After all, it’s money delivered to the door, every family earns some, who would refuse money!

But with so many villagers, there are bound to be some who don’t like these TV celebrities, and Old Tao was one of them.

For Old Tao, an old fisherman, going to sea every day was no longer just a means of livelihood. Now with rural revitalization, each village has gotten better and better, there’s no shortage of food at home, and some who joined the village’s aquaculture industry no longer do these things.

But Old Tao still went every day, mainly because he found it fun. It not only trained his reaction speed but also occasionally brought home some big fish.

Old Tao was aware of the TV program recording around here today, and he didn’t really care. However, he didn’t expect a little girl to come over, seemingly wanting to spear fish.

Seeing Ji Xizhi with her thin arms and legs, he figured she couldn’t even lift a fish spear, let alone spear fish.

Old Tao coldly said a couple of words, then drove Ji Xizhi away.

Ji Xizhi was not annoyed. She was just there to take a look. Hearing the displeasure, she quickly left with the shooting PD.

Before leaving, she apologized softly.

After saying that, she confirmed with the PD not to film the old fisherman before she felt relieved.

Ji Xizhi left the old fisherman, taking big steps away, and after just a few steps, a young man about twenty years old suddenly came over from somewhere nearby.

The young man was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, his skin tanned, and he handed Ji Xizhi a delicate fish spear and a headlamp.

Ji Xizhi was stunned for a moment.

“Lingling’s father asked me to give it to you, you can use it!”

The young man, seeing Ji Xizhi not taking it, smiled and said while pointing to Lingling’s father not far away.

Lingling’s father was the man Ji Xizhi had taught the previous night, Li Songling and Li Songting’s father, the boatman bought off by Director Wang, who couldn’t speak to Ji Xizhi.

Lingling’s father was also here for fun, but since his refund negotiation with the production team failed, he still couldn’t speak to Ji Xizhi, so he had to ask someone from the village to pass the fish spear to Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi nodded in appreciation of the kind gesture and took the fish spear and lamp.

After giving Ji Xizhi the fish spear, the young man couldn’t help but add, “Uncle Tao is just like that, he doesn’t mean any harm! Don’t take what he said to heart, if you want to experience spearing fish, try over there!”

The young man, unlike Old Tao, had some understanding of the situation with celebrities filming shows. Netizens liked to see TV personalities do novel things; even knowing Ji Xizhi probably wouldn’t catch any fish, he enthusiastically pointed her to a spot.

The young man added, “But spearing fish might not be as easy as you think, you might not catch any, just letting you know in advance, but that’s common, it’s normal not to catch any fish!”

The young man preemptively comforted her, but Ji Xizhi wasn’t worried, she smiled and nodded, “I know, but I’m already here, might as well try to learn, if I can’t catch any, it’s no big deal!”

Upon hearing Ji Xizhi’s words, the young man felt she was somewhat different from other celebrities.

He also went online and loved reading celebrity gossip, knowing that those on screen were usually always favorable, accentuating their strengths, but Ji Xizhi seemed rather genuine.

The young man also smiled, “Just call out if you need help, call for Xiao Ding.”

Ji Xizhi acknowledged with a sound, then headed towards the spot Xiao Ding had pointed out.

As the sky darkened, the sea gradually turned into a dark blue, Ji Xizhi put on the lamp, held the fish spear, stood on a big rock, carefully peering into the water, then turned to watch Old Tao intently.

Not far away, Old Tao was bent low, pulling a big fish from the water, delighted, then looked up to see Ji Xizhi’s gaze, filled with “challenge”.

Old Tao: What? Does she want to compete with him?!!!
