Eastern Suburbs, Yongding River.
Li Ping'an waded through the water, walking slowly with Old Ox.
A light rain had fallen the night before, leaving the road rather muddy.
So Li Ping'an went barefoot, leaving his shoes on Old Ox's back.
The man and ox basked in the sunshine as they ambled along.
They truly resembled a middle-aged fishing enthusiast on a day off.
Meeting up with a fishing buddy and driving out.
Fishing during the day, making fish soup in the evening, and having a little wine.
Watching the setting sun sink into the boundless sea.
Life was like chocolate; you never knew what the next piece would be.

The shadows of the trees swayed in the woods.

He simply paid it little mind and fished quietly.

Here it comes!!
He instinctively tensed, his eyes fixed on the water below.
