Chapter 196: Unlucky Brothers and Sisters, Special Fishing Bait and Red Crooks
But after a lot of hard work, the fish still ran away. Looking at the empty fishing rod, Xiao Qi wanted to cry but had no tears.
Xiao Lin patted her brother on the shoulder with a concerned look on his face, she understood.
…
I don’t know what happened, but all morning, the two brothers Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin kept repeating the process of fish being hooked and then running away. They spent a lot of money on bait and were exhausted, but in the end, there was no fish at all.
Catch it.
Looking at the fish in other mermaid buckets, the two brothers and sisters' faces turned dark, and they silently squatted aside and drew circles.
what happened?
Are these fish playing tricks on them?
It's too much!
Why didn't they catch a single fish?!
…
"Okay, don't be angry."
Xiao Xiao walked over and patted the two brothers and sisters on the head.
“I’ll fish somewhere else this afternoon.”
"Pfft~ What's your expression?"
Seeing the brother and sister turning around, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile.
"We are so sad and angry!"
"Those fish are so bad!"
"You are all going to eat them, why don't you allow them to spoil?"
"But……"
Xiao Lin puffed up his cheeks.
"Then if they can, they won't eat our bait."
"This behavior of running away after eating is so cunning!"
Xiao Qi was still aggrieved.
"That's right!"
Xiao Lin nodded his head fiercely.
…
"Um, brother, are there any transparent fish here?"
Xiao Lin asked hesitantly.
"Transparent fish? What's wrong?"
"Whether it was the fish I caught or Xiaoqi's caught just now, I noticed that even though there was nothing on the hook, there was a lot of force coming from the water."
"Is there really nothing?"
"There are no fish or aquatic plants or anything?"
Xiao Xiao confirmed.
"Hmm~"
Xiao Lin was a little hesitant.
"The sun must be too strong for you to be dazzled."
Xiao Qi didn't take it seriously.
How could there be nothing on the hook? Who would eat the bait? Who is competing with him?
"Yeah, that's right."
Xiao Lin thought it right and stopped worrying about it.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoqi, Xiaolin, it's time to eat."
"Hey, here we come."
As soon as they heard that it was time to eat, the two brothers and sisters immediately regained their strength and ran over happily.
Xiao Xiao looked thoughtfully at the calm water of the stream.
"Xiaoxiao?"
"elder brother?"
"coming."
…
What we had for lunch was fish caught by a few people.
The three Xiao brothers and sisters were satisfied with the fish soup and grilled fish. Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin were even more cheerful, and even the sullenness they had felt before disappeared.
…
"Okay, we must catch fish this afternoon!"
"Um."
"Set off!"
Looking at the two brothers and sisters who were full of fighting spirit, Xiao Xiao and several elderly people couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's go, we old guys can't lose to the young people."
"That's right, we are veterans."
"Ha ha."
…
Xiao Xiao specially chose a location close to Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin in the afternoon.
If you have any doubts, confirm it.
He can always notice something here.
Now that Feifei and Taotie are around him, some relatively weak evil spirits can easily be ignored by him unless he senses them carefully.
In particular, water has the function of concealing breath.
Monsters in the water are more difficult to detect.
Moreover, he was also a little strange, why did Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin encounter such a situation?
Do monsters also know how to pick on novice fishermen to bully?
…
"Hey, Xiaolin, your bait seems different from the one I gave you?"
Xiao Xiao felt a little strange and took Xiao Lin's box containing the bait.
"Hey, this is my specially processed Xiaolin bait."
"This is also a specially processed unicorn bait."
Xiao Qi also came over, holding his own bait box and showing it to Xiao Xiao with a proud look on his face.
"What did you add?"
Xiao Xiao took out a fish bait and smelled it. It had a sweet and refreshing smell. Is this mint?
Sure enough, "I added mint flavor and sugar." Xiao Lin was the first to reveal the secret.
"I added mung bean powder and sugar."
Xiao Qi said immediately.
Xiao Xiao was a little dumbfounded. Are you making pastries?
Even if additives are added, most people add shrimp powder and the like. How can anyone add sugar like you do?
However, the conjecture in his heart became more and more certain.
No wonder it was only the brother and sister who suffered.
“Can you give me one of your baits?”
"OK."
"Brother, you can take whatever you want."
"You can also try my fishing bait."
"Oh, I think our bait is pretty good."
Xiao Lin muttered, looking at Xiao Xiao's bait and then at his own bait.
"Didn't you catch any fish?"
Xiao Xiao pointed out the "cruel" fact with a smile.
"Yeah, it's not that I didn't catch anything, it's that they all ran away!"
Xiao Lin was furious.
"The result is not the same?"
"Well……"
Xiao Linyan is gone.
"How about we use brother's bait?"
Xiao Qi suggested that he really wanted to catch a fish by himself and avoid the shame of the morning.
"...Hmm." Without hesitation, Xiao Lin decisively abandoned his bait.
No matter what, a good bait is a bait that can catch fish!
…
Xiao Xiao hung the bait he got from Xiao Lin on the fishhook.
"Pfft~"
The fishhook enters the water.
At first, there was no movement at all.
Xiao Xiao was not in a hurry. He sat on the chair and closed his eyes slightly.
The gentle breeze blew from the treetops, swept over the water, and then brushed against his cheeks, eliminating the dryness, and Xiao Xiao felt completely comfortable.
Your breath is filled with the faint fragrance of vegetation and the cool smell of water vapor.
…
come yet?
Xiao Xiao slowly opened his eyes. As he felt carefully, he saw that there was indeed a looming evil spirit gradually approaching.
A faint golden glow appeared in his eyes, and the situation near the fishhook in the water was clearly visible.
This is... red turtle?
…
It looks like a fish with a human face.
Its sound is like a mandarin duck.
…
The red croaker is quite large, with a circle of fins around its gills. The color is clear and quite beautiful.
But when Xiao Xiao saw its human face, he couldn't help but hold his forehead a little.
It's a beautiful face, yes, but it looks a bit weird when it's on a fish's body.
Moreover, has this monster eaten too much? It looks a little fat?
Is this also a so-called mermaid?
No, no, Xiao Xiao felt that it was better not to ruin the beautiful memories of his childhood.
The mermaid princess in the fairy tale is definitely much cuter than this monster.
…
The red turtle didn't know the tangle in Xiao Xiao's heart, and happily swam toward the bait on Xiao Xiao's hook, its big tail swaying gracefully behind it.
"Ah woo~"
The red croaker swallowed the bait on the hook in one gulp.
The slightly sweet taste made it squint its eyes with satisfaction.
tasty.
Today, I was accidentally attracted by this smell that I had never smelled before. After hesitating for a while, Chiguo took a tentative bite and was out of control.
And it’s fun to play tug-of-war with humans every time.
Especially when I saw the expressions on the faces of the two humans gnashing their teeth but feeling helpless.
