"Oh, the hook got stuck in the body! Let me take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhang said, "Good timing, Xiao Liu, you know a lot about this stuff, check if you can take it off!"
The man with glasses sized it up and mimed how deep the hook got in.
At a glance, it wasn't as serious as everyone thought, just the hook point with its barb poked in. Due to the angle of entry, it wasn't jabbed straight in.
"Not bad, it's relatively shallow, not too serious! Buddy, are you afraid of pain? If you can stand it, I can remove the hook for you right here at the fishing spot!"
"Bring it on! I can take it!" Qiangzi really had some grit, gritting his teeth in agreement.
"Gritting your teeth definitely won't do, find a towel to bite on!" The man with glasses scanned around and casually took a semi-dry towel from the fishing spot, folding it into a thick stack for Qiangzi to bite on.
