Chapter 22: The Mysterious Lake
"We're close to the Jade Blossom Mountain Range, but we haven't entered its territory yet," Im Beomhyeon said, shaking his head while looking straight ahead. "A river flows out from the Jade Blossom Mountain Range and forms a lake over there. The village's irrigation water comes from that lake. There are plenty of fish in it, and I'm taking you there to fish."
At last, they arrived at the lake, where a cool, misty chill rose from the water.
Bok Taejin unconsciously rubbed his arms.
Im Beomhyeon expertly searched the soil nearby for earthworms.
In no time, he had filled the small wooden bucket halfway with them.
Then, he took one, hooked it onto the fishing line, and flicked the rod, letting the hook sink into the lake.
The fishing had begun.
Bok Taejin walked to the lakeside and observed closely.
The lake's surface rippled gently.
