Chapter 13: Save the Sick Beauty 1
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She put the golden carp into the bucket and thought to herself, ‘O, Koi God! Since you’re so awesome...
‘Bless me once more and let me catch a few more fishes later!
‘So that the four of us won’t go hungry these few days!’
Qi Qingyao muttered in her heart as she instructed the three children.
“If you guys want to watch, then stand behind.”
“Okay!”
The three little ones did not stand under the tree this time. They just leaned on the side of the bucket as they stared at the golden carp in the water. To the children, this koi fish was like a rare and peculiar toy.
They could not help touching it with their hands, but the water in the bucket was so cold that they retracted their little paws.
It was fine even if they could not touch it. Just looking at it was enough to make them feel how rare it was.
According to the story of the koi temple that Grandmother used to tell, this koi fish must be amazing!
When the three little children were watching the koi fish, Qi Qingyao—who was at a side—caught another fish, causing the three little buns to stare in shock. So quickly?
Never mind the fact that they were surprised.
Even Qi Qingyao herself was surprised.
Her fishing skills were average.
Could it be that the Jiuli River was full of fishes?
When she stuck her head out and looked into the water, the river water was fairly clear, but... it looked like there were barely any fishes! Could it be that the fishes in the river did not have any bait food in the winter, so when she cast her earthworm bait, the fishes took the bait immediately!
Qi Qingyao placed the crucian carp in another bucket, doubtful.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the koi fish that was in the bucket.
She furrowed her brows.
As a scientific pioneer and future successor of socialism, how could Qi Qingyao believe in such nonsense?
She put on more bait and continued fishing as if nothing had happened.
As a result, something dumbfounding occurred.
She caught a fish every thirty seconds on average. Basically, as soon as the rod was cast, the fish took the bait.
After a while, the bucket could no longer fit any more fishes, and seven or eight fishes were thrown on the grass next to the buckets.
Both Qi Qingyao and the three children were speechless.
They all stared at the struggling fishes on the ground, wide-eyed. Dabao scratched his head and said, “Mommy, this should be enough for us to eat.”
Qi Qingyao looked at the fishes and thought, ‘It’s fine even if the fishes die. In this sub-zero temperature, the whole world’s a “natural-branded freezer”. It doesn’t matter even if we leave it for a few days! Now, we finally got some “foodstuff” stored up.’
While feeling relieved, she glanced at the koi fish that was alone in the bucket.
Could this really be related to it?
No, no way.
There was no way she would believe in such nonsense!
Qi Qingyao counted the fishes.
“Except for this koi fish, we caught a total of thirteen fishes today, including crucian carps, grey mullets, common carps, and black carps. In short, we won’t have to starve for a few days!”
Looking at today’s harvest, the three little children showed the most satisfied smiles of their lives.
They were going to eat fish!!
And it was what they had caught with Mommy today!
Qi Qingyao decided to take the bucket back first, then bring a pack basket with her when they got home to pick up the rest of the fishes.
When they returned, Qi Qingyao decided to take a shortcut and walked past the bushes with her three little babies. When passing by a small pile of rocks, Dabao looked around restlessly. He had happened to see a pair of boots behind the rock pile, which made Dabao freeze in fear.
“Mommy, it seems like there’s someone behind the pile of rocks.”
His fingers trembled.
“What?” Qi Qingyao said.
Erniu reacted quickly. “Could they be out to rob our koi fish?”
