"Hahaha, you are actually afraid of this..." Shi Qiuqiu did not expect that Sheng Lijue was actually afraid of earthworms, and he burst out laughing.
Sheng Lijue's face darkened, but when he saw Shi Qiuqiu pick up an earthworm and put it on the fishhook, he felt that he would never be able to do such a thing.
Seeing that he had retreated far away, Shi Qiuqiu was a little amused, but she didn't tease him anymore. She just said: "Okay, okay, if you throw it into the water now, some fish will get the bait."
As she spoke, she gave Sheng Lijue a demonstration. The fishhook drew a graceful arc in the air and sank into the river.
"Try it quickly." Shi Qiuqiu sat on the chair and looked at Sheng Lijue with a smile, and his tone was a bit suspicious: "Or do you dare not?"
After hearing this, Sheng Lijue walked over and said somewhat displeasedly: "What am I afraid of?"
"Nuo, then you give it a try." Shi Qiuqiu handed him the fishing rod, along with the box of bait.
Sheng Lijue looked at the earthworm in front of him and felt that threading it onto the fishhook would be more difficult than the most difficult customer he had ever talked to.
But Shi Qiuqiu was watching him, how could he not do it?
Sheng Lijue suppressed his disgust and quickly took one out of the box.
Feeling the squirming movement on his fingertips, Sheng Lijue subconsciously waved his hand and threw the earthworm out.
Seeing him like this, Shi Qiuqiu couldn't help but laugh. Finally, she stopped forcing him and quickly put on the bait for him.
Sheng Lijue's face turned even darker.
"Okay, the most important thing is to see how many fish you can catch. Bait and the like are just trivial matters." Shi Qiuqiu suppressed a smile and comforted her kindly.
Sheng Lijue pursed his lips tightly and threw the fishing rod back, but he didn't want to grab the branch behind it and couldn't pull it down for a long time.
He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have come here to fish.
"Qiuqiu..." Sheng Lijue was a little helpless. After pulling for a long time, the fishhook still couldn't come off.
Shi Qiuqiu was paying attention to the water, and then she realized Sheng Lijue's embarrassment.
"Let me help you." Shi Qiuqiu asked Sheng Lijue to hold her fishing rod and loosen the hook with three taps along the fishing line.
At this time, the fishing rod in Sheng Lijue's hand suddenly started to move!
"Ah, a fish is hooked!" Shi Qiuqiu exclaimed softly and said quickly: "Pull the fish over slowly, don't use too much force, otherwise the fishing line will break."
Sheng Lijue nodded. Although he was not good at preparation, he could still fish.
He felt the pull of the fishing rod, and slowly took in the fishing line.
The last fish broke through the water and reached Sheng Lijue's hands.
"What a big fish, Li Jue, you are really awesome!" Shi Qiuqiu praised Sheng Lijue endlessly and re-baited him.
This victory obviously allowed Sheng Lijue to recover from his previous setback, and he immediately became more interested.
So for an afternoon, the two of them stayed by the river.
Fortunately, the big trees by the river are dense, and there are still cool breezes blowing. It is not hot at all in autumn.
But why did the fish go to Sheng Lijue?
Shi Qiuqiu looked at her bucket with some depression. There were only a few fish swimming happily in it.
Sheng Lijue's bucket is almost full and can't be squeezed anymore.
It's obviously the same fishing rod and bait, so why are they so different?
At this time, Sheng Lijue caught another fish. He untied the fish and put it into the bucket. He glanced at Shi Qiuqiu's bucket and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"No more fishing, go home." Shi Qiuqiu was a little embarrassed, so he just threw the remaining earthworms into the pit and let them go back to their homes.
"Yeah." Sheng Lijue's lips curled up, feeling a little happy.
However, Shi Qiuqiu soon ran into trouble. Sheng Lijue was injured and it was impossible to lift such a heavy fish bucket. If he had to lift it back by himself, he would probably be exhausted to death.
"You caught so many fish, how are we going to get them back now?" Shi Qiuqiu couldn't help but give Sheng Lijue a rolling look.
Sheng Lijue pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you put some in."
Shi Qiuqiu thought about it, they couldn't eat so much anyway.
Just as they were preparing to release the animals, Uncle Liu and Sister-in-law Liu happened to pass by. When they saw Shi Qiuqiu, they came over and greeted them warmly.
"Oh, I caught so many fish." Mrs. Liu was a little surprised, and then she noticed that Shi Qiuqiu looked a little embarrassed, and she suddenly understood: "Is there too much stuff that you can't get back? It's okay, we will help you carry it.
"
As she spoke, she picked up the fish bucket effortlessly, and Uncle Liu took all the rest in his hands.
Shi Qiuqiu was a little embarrassed and wanted to help get something, but they refused to let her go: "You little girl, take something, don't get your clothes dirty."
Shi Qiuqiu had no choice but to follow them and couldn't help but sigh: "They are really nice people."
Sheng Lijue responded lightly, and his expression softened.
No wonder the farmhouses here are the most popular. It turns out that it’s not just the location, but more importantly, the people here.
After arriving home, Shi Qiuqiu gave the bucket full of fish to Mrs. Liu directly.
"Just take it, how could the two of us finish so much?" Shi Qiuqiu said nothing this time to stop her from carrying the bucket of fish through the door.
Sister-in-law Liu also refused to accept her life or death, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time.
"Sister-in-law Liu, let's go to the back mountain to pick mushrooms tomorrow." A woman passed by the roadside and greeted Sister-in-law Liu when she saw her.
"Okay." Mrs. Liu agreed simply.
Shi Qiuqiu had an idea and said, "Are you going to pick mushrooms tomorrow? Why don't you take me with you?"
Sister-in-law Liu was stunned for a moment, then readily agreed: "Okay."
"I don't know how to recognize mushrooms yet, so I'll just treat this as tuition." Shi Qiuqiu pushed the boat along and pushed the fish bucket to Mrs. Liu.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu was still waving her hand, Shi Qiuqiu quickly said, "If you don't accept it, I will send it directly to your home later."
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to accept it, and couldn't help but talk about how good Shi Qiuqiu was.
Shi Qiuqiu saw off Mrs. Liu and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the people here are warm, they are also too polite.
"Sister-in-law Liu is gone?" Sheng Lijue raised his eyebrows. Seeing the two of them being polite at the door for so long, he felt helpless for Shi Qiuqiu.
Shi Qiuqiu nodded, sat on the sofa and stretched out. He was exhausted from standing there since noon.
While eating, Shi Qiuqiu kept holding dishes for Sheng Lijue.
"Li Jue, try this, it's very fresh." Shi Qiuqiu said as she picked up another chopstick for him, and then realized that his bowl was already full.
Sheng Lijue glanced at her and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, don't leave any ink."
Shi Qiuqiu smiled and then said: "Sister-in-law Liu and I have made an appointment to go to the back mountain to pick mushrooms tomorrow."
