Chapter 123 Live here and provoke Qi Si for the first time
Chapter 123: The first time I offended Qi Si when I came here
This time they harvested more than a dozen fish. In the evening, Aunt Lu made delicious sweet and sour fish, and Luo Yan kept some of the smaller fish in the backyard pond.
When she released the fish into the water, Qi Si happened to pass by. He paused for a moment and lowered his eyes to look at the happy little fry swimming in the pool.
"You want to keep it inside?"
Luo Yan paused slightly and turned around, "With Aunt Lu's consent."
This pool seems to be exclusive to him, but besides raising a turtle, he doesn't raise any other creatures, which is a bit of a waste of space resources.
Although Aunt Lu nodded in agreement, Luo Yan, the owner of the pool, still felt a little guilty in front of her, "...can't you do that?"
"Okay." Qi Si glanced at the turtle at the bottom of the pond and said in a light voice, "But it's best to keep it outside."
As long as he agrees.
It was better to keep them in a bucket or basin outside than in a pond like his. Luo Yan didn't think much and put all the small fish into the water.
After raising the little fish, she came to the pond every day to take a look. She didn't notice it at first, but it was only a week later that she realized that the number of fish was wrong.
Seven small fry were originally put in, but now there are only five left, and there is not even half a dead fish body in the pond. Two fish have disappeared for no reason.
After sitting by the pool for a long time, Luo Yan thought of a possibility: there was a wild cat!
Aunt Lu doesn't have a cat, maybe another cat knows that there is a fish pond here and comes here to steal some fish.
So she found a big bamboo strip and covered it in the pond. When she saw it the next day, she found that the bamboo strip was intact and not a single fish was missing.
It seems that she guessed it right.
However, when I came back to see it on the third day, there were only four small fry.
Luo Yan stared at the water in disbelief, counting several times and still there were four.
The little girl's slightly wrinkled face was reflected in the water, and she suddenly looked at the dark guy under the water who had been sleeping all day.
Couldn't it be what the turtle ate?
Once she had a guess, the doubts in her heart lingered for a long time, and she came to the pool to guard it many times, hoping to catch the turtle's crime scene.
After waiting for another week, when she was almost dispelled of her doubts about the turtle, one day after dinner she took a walk to the backyard, quietly walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the scene in the water and slowly opened her mouth.
The turtle, which usually sleeps lazily, started to swim, paddling in the water with all four limbs and stretching its neck to chase a small fish.
Luo Yan was shocked for a second, and quickly reached out to slap the water on the water surface, making noise to scare away the turtle.
Seeing the criminal eating her little fish with her own eyes, she fished out the four little fish and put them back in the porcelain water basin.
I also have a grudge against that black turtle.
After finding some time, he fished it out. The turtle's shell was very hard and its limbs were curled up inside. Luo Yan felt angry just looking at its uncontested appearance.
She usually pretends to be honest and honest, but when no one is around, she reveals her ferocious side and preys on the small fish she worked so hard to catch. It’s so shady!
It pretended to be dead, so Luo Yan knocked on the turtle's shell to prevent it from sleeping comfortably. After knocking for a long time, it still didn't come out. She changed her strategy and put the turtle on the ground and waited for a while. It would eventually come out.
Sure enough, when she went to pick a pear from the pear tree in the corner, she came back and saw that the turtle had stretched out its head and seemed to be basking in the sun.
After taking a bite of the snow pear, Luo Yan frowned and raised her middle finger to flick the turtle's head hard. When her fingertips were about to touch the turtle, the short-looking head suddenly stretched out and attacked her.
It turns out its neck is so long!
Luo Yan, who was almost attacked, was still frightened. She looked at the black turtle blankly and felt a chill running down her spine.
This is really not a good thing!
Swallowing, the annoyance in her chest suddenly rose, she pursed her lips and kicked it into the water.
"What are you doing?" A cool voice sounded from behind.
Turning back, Qi Si looked at her right foot kicking the turtle and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Luo Yan looked at his deep eyes under his thick eyebrows, feeling guilty and nervous at the same time, "It ate a few of my fish."
"You were the one who wanted to put the fish in. I also reminded you at the time," Qi Si looked at her, "The law of nature is that the weak eat the strong. Now you are taking it out on my turtle?"
Did he remind her?
[But it’s best to keep it outside.]
It was such a subtle reminder, but he didn't want to be more explicit.
Luo Yan pinched her fingers, "It just wanted to bite me."
"It won't attack you if you don't mess with it."
The young man was slender and 1.7 meters tall. In Luo Yan's eyes, he was an adult, but she was a little kid who had done something wrong and was being educated.
Although his face was calm, not accusing or angry, Luo Yan was still frightened as he stared at her so calmly.
She sniffed gently and said slowly: "I'm sorry."
This was the first time that Qi Si had been offended since he came here. Luo Yan had little contact with him before, and now she didn't dare to get close to him.
Tang's pomegranates have thin skin and large seeds, which are sweet and delicious. I picked a Luoyan pomegranate on the roadside last time and fell in love with it.
In the afternoon of that day, she took advantage of a time when there were fewest pedestrians on the road and wandered down a few streets to find herself near Tang's house.
But the progress was not as smooth as she expected. There was a little girl with short hair standing under the Tang family's pomegranate tree. Luo Yan thought she was the owner of the pomegranate tree.
Glancing over, I saw a boy in a black T-shirt picking pomegranates on the leafy tree, whose branches were trembling slightly.
"There is a big, red one on top of your head. Pick it quickly. There are also two on the left side. Move faster. Tang Ruru will find it later!"
The little girl under the tree shouted in a low voice.
Luo Yan was a little stunned as he watched the gang committing a crime not far away.
It turns out that they also came to steal pomegranates.
When the man on the tree had finished picking, he quickly got down to the ground and found her.
Lu An and Ji Qingbai both looked at her, and she stared at them without hesitation.
After a while, Ji Qingbai took a red pomegranate from Lu An's arms and handed it to Luo Yan.
"Here you go, don't tell anyone."
The pomegranate in his hand was heavy, Luo Yan nodded solemnly and was about to speak——
"Lu An Ji Qingbai! It's you again! Here you come to steal my pomegranates again!"
An angry voice came from the direction of the Tang family gate.
"run--"
Ji Qingbai looked back at the furious Tang Ruru, grabbed Luo Yan and ran away.
At the end of summer, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the alley are as white as snow, and their fragrance floats for several streets. The gentle breeze brings little osmanthus flowers to rain.
The blue sky is full of clouds, the sky is far-reaching, and the green of wheat stretches to the horizon. The teenagers running in the alley seem to never grow up.
Whose house has blue bricks and black tiles, dog tail grass under the corner, nodding towards the sun, and a black pastoral dog sticking out its tongue in the heat.
The three of them ran for several streets and finally leaned against a wall to catch their breath.
Lu An looked at Luo Yanyi's fine silk clothes, threw a few pomegranate seeds in his mouth, and asked incoherently: "Are you the child that Aunt Lu brought back from the county? What's your name?"
"Luo Yan."
"Oh, the name is quite unique."
Luo Yan looked at them. Lu An had short hair, wheat-colored skin, and bright eyes. Ji Qingbai's hair was slightly longer, just reaching the root of his neck. At first glance, he looked like a little boy—a very beautiful little boy.
She has handsome short flowing hair, fair skin, obvious facial lines, and subtle dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiles.
Ji Qingbai has an easy-going temperament, but does not smile often. Only when he is in a good mood will he slightly curl his lips, with dimples looming at the corners of his mouth.
A meeting under a pomegranate tree determined the future revolutionary friendship of the three.
After finding the organization, Luo Yan gradually freed up his nature, from being shy and reticent at the beginning to having fun outside with Lu An and Ji Qingbai all day long.
Lu An is the team's front-line intelligence. He knows where there are fruits, whose watermelons are ripe, and which mountains and forests have the most mushrooms and where the fish are fattest.
Ji Qingbai is the one who makes the plan. She organizes and initiates every action, formulating a series of perfect action guidelines, and the two team members follow the leader to direct the action.
Because Luo Yan was the last to join the organization, was unfamiliar with the terrain and town conditions, and had the worst hands-on skills, she was the one being cared for by the organization. They did not ask her to do anything, but were extremely tolerant and caring for this outsider.
