Before he could finish, the man's rod bent sharply. He lurched forward, nearly falling face-first.
He's going to fall! Shiao Yi was about to use telekinesis to stop him, but Dominic held up a hand. "Wait."
Before Shiao Yi could react, Dominic had already moved.
He stepped onto the narrow plank connecting the ground to the village vaulted over a small set of stairs and landed on the board above the mud.
He grabbed the man by the shoulder just as he started to slip off, dragging him back onto the plank.
Then Dominic caught the still-bending fishing rod and gripping it firmly in both hands and pulling hard.
While pretending not to interfere, Shiao Yi secretly supported the man with his telekinesis, preventing him from falling completely into the mud. Timing it with Dominic's movements, he helped lift the catch from below.
Breaking through the muddy surface came a large flat-faced fish with a wide gaping mouth.
