Chapter 143: He Doesn't Believe It
They went back to the family compound and got their tools. Then they went to the forest.
Because it had rained recently.
The place where Ying Sisi had marked was washed away by the rain. They could only carefully explore as they went.
Qin Yanci inconspicuously observed his surroundings. The trees outside were bare, but the trees inside were unusually lush.
The ground was covered with moss, and the humidity inside was very high.
The mud on the ground was loose and soft.
It left deep footprints when you stepped on it.
There were strange cries coming from the depths every now and then. They were chilling when you first heard them.
She's not afraid to go fishing in this kind of place.
“Sisi, let me walk in front.”
Ying Sisi said, “You've been here less often. You're not familiar with the terrain. You should walk behind me. If I get stuck in the mud, it will be easier for you to pull me.”
Qin Yanci's heart warmed. I already knew she was considerate. I didn't expect her to be so thoughtful. “What if I can't pull you out?”
“Then you'll be a widower.”
Qin Yanci took her hand and held it in his palm. “Then I'll have to hold you tight.”
Ying Sisi smiled back. “Okay.”
They reached the edge of the stream.
They looked at the schools of fish in the water.
Qin Yanci was amazed.
He thought the “plenty” she mentioned meant easy to catch.
It turns out that they're everywhere. Do you even need to fish if you can hit them with a stick?
Ying Sisi used a small hoe to dig a small hole by the bank. She saw out of the corner of her eye that he was walking in that direction. She called out to stop him. “A-Ci, we're going fishing, aren't we? Don't wander around.” She had come here several times. She wouldn't dare take a step without a stick to explore.
He, on the other hand,
Was striding forward. What if he gets stuck in the mud and I can't rescue him?
What if I become a widow?
Qin Yanci thought she was afraid. He stopped and went back to guard her. “What are you digging?”
Ying Sisi didn't look up. “Eel. This small hole looks like an eel's hole. My villager friends said that eels are very nutritious. I'll dig them out and nourish your body.”
Qin Yanci: "." Aren't eels aphrodisiacs?
Nourish my body?
Does he not perform?
He doesn't believe it!
“I don't eat them.”
Ying Sisi continued to work diligently to enlarge the opening of the hole. She saw that the eel was shrinking back into the hole. She was even more excited. She dug with her bare hands. Finally, she caught one. It was the size of two of an adult's fingers. It was enough for a pot of soup. “I finally caught one.”
Qin Yanci repeated. “I don't eat them.”
Ying Sisi thought, I'm not going to shove it into your mouth. Why are you stressing it? “Aren't you going to fish? If you're not, let's go home.”
We woke up so early today.
I'm tired now and want to rest.
Qin Yanci said, “I'm not going to fish. There are too many fish. It's not challenging.”
Ying Sisi: "." Didn't you enjoy fishing very much that time we sold fish? “You can eat it.”
“I don't want to eat it.”
Ying Sisi: "." Isn't he a big fish fan?
He doesn't have amnesia. Why has his taste changed?
They went back the way they came.
Qin Yanci carried the bucket and walked ahead. He stopped after a few steps.
Ying Sisi was in a hurry. She bumped into his back and her nose hurt. “Ouch! It hurts.” Why don't you say anything when you stop?
“There's a snake ahead.” Qin Yanci looked for a stick.
“Wait, I have a way.” Ying Sisi took the menthol balm out of her pocket and sprinkled it on the ground.
The wind blew, and the snake immediately turned around and left.
Qin Yanci's pupils dilated. She can drive snakes away: “How did you know that menthol balm can drive snakes away?”
Ying Sisi said proudly, “My grandpa taught me.” She always brings menthol balm with her every time she comes here after encountering the snake that time.
Qin Yanci wanted to hear her talk about her experiences, but he was worried that the other guy had asked her. He had to hold back.
They didn't get home until evening.
Ying Sisi made noodles. After they ate, she tidied up briefly and went to the bathroom to shower and prepare for bed.
Qin Yanci listened to the sound of the water rushing. His whole body was hot.
Another sleepless night.
