The sky is still blue and deep, but the sun is not high anymore.
Ji Qingbai looked at the fluttering clouds and asked Lu An, "Aren't you going to get those shoes?"
"I'm so scared, I don't want it anymore."
"I'm sorry." Luo Yan pursed her lips and smiled, but found that her face was a little stretched and the soil was cracked.
"It's okay, it's just a shoe. Just let my brother take me to find it another day."
"I'm so hungry...are you going to go back like this today?"
"No," Ji Qingbai stood up and looked at Lu An, "Do you still remember that Fatty Liu?"
"You know Fatty Liu who shows off his wealth every day in school and says his father makes a lot of money in the province? You know him? He's from the next class. He wears a red collar badge every day and acts like a bully at the school gate. He wants to deduct some points from anyone he catches. He's such an annoying person."
"I heard that his rice field fish is a new species and very plump..."
"you mean?"
When Luo Yan heard this, he was a little worried, "It's not good to steal other people's fish..."
"We are pretending to be naughty, but Liu Xiaopang is really naughty. He bullies classmates at school. He also likes to beat dogs after school. If he sees a dog on the road, he will throw stones and beat him severely. If a bicycle is parked in front of a neighbor's house, he will be shocked when he sees it.
If he had to go up and kick him, I would have grown tired of him."
Even beating the dog, Luo Yan's worries disappeared in an instant, this man is indeed hateful.
Every household in Chunshui Town raises cute farm dogs. They are honest, loyal, and very spiritual. They will not bite neighbors or scare the elderly and children. This little fat dog is just itchy.
The rice grows high in the Liu family's rice fields, and the water up to the knees is covered by the hanging rice leaves, which is a hiding place for rice field fish.
The three of them picked up their trousers and all got into the water, hunched over and groping in the water. The fish's body was very slippery, and sometimes if you touched it, it would just sway and slip away from your hands.
"I saw a golden carp in front of me!" Ji Qingbai lowered his voice and directed his team to surround it from three directions.
Maybe it was the compatibility that the team had developed from previous crimes, or maybe it was because the feeling of letting the duck go was too heart-wrenching. The three of them were hungry after working all day. They were determined to get this fish, and finally succeeded in catching a two-pound fish.
rice field carp.
Escape from the crime scene.
By the stream, Lu An carefully disemboweled the fish, while Luo Yan went to find dry firewood to light a fire for Ji Qingbai.
When the sun sets in the west, smoke rises smoothly from the creek, and the fish grilled by firewood is fragrant. The original fish meat is delicate, tender and refreshing, and the taste is unexpectedly good.
After enjoying the feast, the sky gradually darkened, and Luo Yan realized that all of his clothes were extremely dirty.
"Your fine goose-yellow satin is so stained by the mud that it will definitely not be clean."
Lu An looked at the people bending over and trying to clean their clothes in the stream. It didn't help that they were all wet.
"Forget it, Aunt Lu has such a good temper, she will definitely not complain about you. Just say that you accidentally fell into the mud while playing outside."
In the night, the moonlight is like water, the bugs in the grass begin to play and sing, and Mr. Frog leads the summer concert to every turning point.
The moonlight flows down and pours into the winding stream. The stream is dressed in silver and disguises itself as the Milky Way, rushing into the dark wilderness into the depths of the night.
Two little girls were bending down to clean their clothes by the stream. Lu An was lying on the grass with his hands on his hands and looking at the stars. When the frog croaked, he would croak too.
Suddenly, a shadow fell over my eyes.
He spat out the grass roots in his mouth and looked at the upside-down man, "Si, Brother Si!"
Lu An rolled over and shouted to the people by the stream: "Luo Yan, your brother is here."
Luo Yan, who was holding water to wash his face, paused and looked sideways. Under the moonlight, Qi Si, dressed in white and cold, stood very straight.
"Back." He said.
"oh."
Luo Yan stepped forward and said, "Lu An Qingbai, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
Along the way, the little girl followed him obediently, feeling a little scared. This was the first time she had come home so late from playing.
She was worried that Qi Si would say something about her, so she walked away for a while, but he didn't say anything.
"Did Aunt Lu ask you to come to me?"
"Um."
She was at a loss for words, "...have you eaten?"
He tilted his head slightly and said, "Eat."
"Oh..." She tugged at the corner of her clothes and asked tentatively, "Is Aunt Lu asleep?"
"At the Lin family."
"Really!" She got excited and realized that her voice was a bit loud, so she silently shut up.
The person in front didn't answer her nonsense.
I couldn't see anyone clearly outside before, but when I arrived at Qisi's home, I found that she was covered in mud.
"I did it accidentally, I fell into the mud..."
Luo Yan took the bucket to the well to fetch water, preparing to clean herself up before Aunt Lu came, but she was weak, so every time she fetched water, she had to drag it for a long time before tremblingly lifting it up.
The bathtub was in the side room, and she was exhausted from going back and forth several times.
Qi Si was enjoying the cool air on a wooden chair under the jujube tree, holding a small dried fish in his hand and teasing the little yellow dog again and again. Luo Yan looked at him for a while and then walked over.
"Can you help me fetch water? I am weak..."
Qi Si raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Aunt Lu is coming back soon. I have to wash it quickly. Please help me. I...I will buy you candied haws on another day..."
He gave some small fish to the little yellow dog and stood up.
The tub was quickly filled with water. Luo Yan had a gentle look on his face and said thank you softly before he went out.
Before Aunt Lu came back, she managed to clean herself up and wash her clothes without being seen in any mess.
This was thanks to Qi Si's help. She was very grateful and reluctantly bought him a candied haws with her own money the next day.
"Who said I want to eat candied haws?"
The little girl blinked, "Don't you want to eat?"
"I don't like sweet things."
“The candied haws on a stick are delicious.”
Qi Si continued to water the flowerbed, "You eat."
Luo Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, swallowed her saliva, and confirmed again: "Are you really not going to eat?"
"Um."
She was overjoyed at the moment, enjoying the sweet and sour candied haws under the grape trellis, her eyes following Qi Si who was busy in the flower garden.
Those flowers were planted by Aunt Lu. Clusters of hydrangeas and roses were blooming very well, and there were some that she couldn't name. He raised them very well.
What Luo Yan likes most is not the ones in the flower garden, she likes the roses spreading on the fence.
The roses cover the entire circle of wooden fence, the vines stretch upwards into the greenery, and the light pink roses are dotted among the green leaves. Every corner is beautiful.
After finishing the candied haws in her hand, she stood up, patted her clothes, and walked straight to Qi Si, "Then let me help you water the flowers."
He didn't refuse, handed her the kettle and ran to enjoy the shade under the grape trellis.
There was a cicada hidden in the grape trellis, and it screamed loudly. He tilted his head and looked among the leaves, and finally followed the sound and found the hidden cicada.
Luo Yan suddenly felt that his ears were clear. He turned his head to look at the grape trellis and saw Qi Si holding a black cicada in his hand.
Her pupils opened slightly, and she trotted over, her voice unable to contain her excitement, "Did you catch a cicada?"
The little guy in his hand flapped its wings slightly and made another cicada chirp.
"Are you going to raise it?"
Qi Si moved his lips, "I heard cats can eat."
Luo Yan:?!
"No, no, cats don't like to eat this! Cicadas are so cute, let's raise them, right?"
