Chapter 41 Catching Fish
According to Ouyang Hongye's plan, they later left the Zangquetai and set off for Xianhequan Township. At the moment of turning over the demon horse, a picture that had appeared when the soul was separated suddenly flashed in front of Xia Qiu. She almost didn't hook the sickle. She took a deep breath to find her balance, and then quickly looked around. Fortunately, everyone was thoughtful and didn't notice herself.
Her heart is far stronger than her appearance. She is always afraid that she will become a burden to others. Now she is even more afraid that she will cause Ouyang Xiaoceng's trouble because of her cowardice. To some extent, she is somewhat happy to know the potential of those who have the ability to leave the soul. If she can develop this ability smoothly, she will definitely become the strength of her companions.
After running out of the gate, they coincidentally looked back at the small city behind them again. The exquisite sparrow houses stacked in the towering trees looked more and more dreamy and peaceful. When the demon horse began to run, all this soon disappeared from sight.
After walking for more than half a day after leaving the city, everyone took a nap and drank horses in the mountain stream. Ouyang Hongye took out the map and discussed the next route with everyone. If there is no accident, they will enter the Golden Firefly Maple Forest tonight. If they can cross the forest overnight, they can reach Xianhequan Township at noon the next day.
Just hearing the name of Jinhuafenglin is enough to arouse the interest of several teenagers. Ouyang Xiaoling remembers that Grandpa Yong once said that although there were so many prosperous and beautiful cities in the demon world at its peak, his favorite is Jinhuafenglin, which is the place where he often lingered when he was a teenager. In the ever-none red maple forest, tens of thousands of fireflies after night are like beating elves, and like the stars in the night sky, bright and fantastic. The most wonderful thing is that these fireflies have souls when they gather together. They will choose to communicate with the noblest souls who pass through the forest and arrange beautiful patterns for this person in their way.
"I'm not interested in these romantic things. At most, I can coax children." Speaking of the golden firefly maple forest, Fenghuo said disdainfully.
"Anything that is beautiful may not interest you, because you have nothing to do with the word beauty." Everyone can hear that Wang Yue is deliberately making the wind and fire angry.
"Although I can't compare with you beautiful men like flowers, looking at the whole demon world, I'm also tall and handsome." Feng Huo argued, and sure enough, he looked at the moon again.
"There are few tall people who can match you, handsome..." Wang Yue deliberately lengthen her voice.
"Let's be the only girl among us to judge. Why am I not good-looking?" The wind and fire still unrelented and turned to Xia Qiu to ask.
Xia Qiu didn't say anything, but couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, why don't you answer?" The wind and fire are a little anxious.
"We have all lived to this age, and you have to ask a little girl to evaluate your appearance. You really risk it. You scared a child yesterday, and today you want to scare another!" Ouyang Hongye explained for Xia Qiu.
"Haha, that's right. Why didn't I think of it?" Fenghuo remembered that he had scared Qianqi yesterday, so he smiled casually, which made everyone laugh.
After a few days together, Ouyang Hongye felt more and more the simple impatience and innocence of Qianqi seemed to be the seasoning in this journey, so that everyone can occasionally put aside the vast road ahead, unknown dangers and huge crises. It's too rare for them to have a good smile. The pressure and invisible fear that have been accumulated for too long will make people collapse, just like the strings that are too tight and will eventually break.
Everyone talked and laughed, and even Ouyang Xiao Leng's eyes became gentle. The only one who did not enter the state was always the most cheerful. He picked up the oval stone from the river and played the game of floating by himself. His face was rare deep and quiet, which made people a little worried.
"What's wrong with that child?" Wang Yue asked Ouyang Hongye.
"Isn't it that I'm scared and haven't recovered?" The wind and fire are still a little uncomfortable.
"No, I'm afraid it's his discovery yesterday that finally got nothing that made him a little unwilling. He's losing his temper!" Ouyang Hongye seemed to see through him at a glance. After all, Qianqi is the son of the Amber Dragon King. Usually, everyone in Dongyao City is centered on him. Even if he seems very easy-going most of the time, it is difficult to stop the occasional small emotions.
He remembered that he had been like this when he was young. At that time, as a descendant of the red-haired fox king, he wandered around. Compared with the luxurious life of his childhood, he seemed to have fallen into hell at the beginning of his youth. No one listened to him much, and no one cared about what he did or where he went. That kind of psychology Today, hundreds of years later, he still can't forget it.
Now he has been relieved for a long time. Perhaps from the moment he met Ouyang Xueye, he was destined to make him understand a truth. He found the only person worthy of his follow. He would rather be behind him, or even only be the cornerstone of paving the road under his feet. He found the most suitable position for himself and his best friend in his life.
He can always see the shadow of himself and Xue Ye in Qianqi and Ouyang Xiao Leng. Although one of them is too fierce, the other is too silent, compete with each other, and they are not convinced of each other, it is easy to see the pity between them. Of course, there is also Xia Qiu. The roulette of fate chooses them to walk with each other, and they will walk side by side, and eventually they will become each other's support, so that even if they can't accompany them to the end, they can feel at ease.
The river flowing slowly in the mountain stream is clear to the bottom. It is difficult to see such a clean river in the cities closer to the center of the demon world. The sound and touch of water will always arouse people's pleasure. Maybe it is because all life originally came from this kind of **. The water keeps flowing and temporarily takes away the future in everyone's heart. The uneasiness. Fenghuo lay down by the river, with his head on his arm and squinting at the sky.
"Some people are really old and lie down wherever they go." Ouyang Hongye sat down on the edge of the wind and fire and joked.
"Yes, he is the oldest among us." Wang Yue also sat aside.
Fenghuo stared and said unconvincedly, "It's rare to find such a quiet place. Didn't you just say that we are all at this age? Why don't you let others rest for a while? I'm not as old as you said?!!"
Wang Yue and Ouyang Hongye laughed at the same time. They just joked casually, and Fenghuo always believed it. These days, their relationship has become more and more harmonious. He remembered the years when he was hostile to the wind and fire in Wangcheng as if it were yesterday. At that time, they would never think that they would talk and laugh with the wind and fire one day.
After laughing, Ouyang Hongye looked up at the three young people who were thinking by the river. Suddenly, he had an idea and shouted to them, "Today's dinner is prepared by you!"
"You're not serious, are you?" Qianqi doubted that he had heard it wrong. He was the son of the Dragon King, who could not even distinguish between salt and sugar, let alone that he couldn't even find a serious tool in this wilderness.
Ouyang Xiao Leng was also at a loss, but he did not panic. He looked around and didn't have any ideas, so he turned to Xia Qiu silently.
Xia Qiu thought it was a good proposal. She thought for a moment and looked back at a few white fish swimming in the river. She had never seen this kind of fish. Although it was not big, it also looked fat. She pointed to the direction of the river and asked Ouyang Xiao Leng and Qianqi, "Can the fish in this river be eaten?"
"Hmm." Ouyang Xiao Leng looked in the direction she pointed and answered.
"Then let's catch the fish and roast it. As long as we can catch the fish, it will be easy to make it." Xia Qiu became excited and remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather often took him fishing by the lake. At that time, he could not resist the fragrance of grilled fish.
When it comes to catching fish, Qianqi's mood rose in an instant. He patted his chest and said, "Okay, okay, I'm the best at catching fish. Not to mention such a small fish, I can catch fish demons!"
"Then you and Xiao Leng are responsible for catching fish, and I will be responsible for setting up the stove for grilled fish." Suggestions for summer and autumn.
"No problem!" Qianqi rolled up his sleeves and trousers and walked to the other side of the river.
Although Ouyang Xiao Leng's face still has no expression, in fact, he also feels a little interesting in the bottom of his heart. Catching fish is something he has never tried at all. Since he can remember, he has been practicing swordsmanship and improving his demon power. No matter how harshly Ouyang Hongye asks him, he can grit his teeth and stand up. Although occasionally he will have the impulse to escape temporarily because of too strong pressure, it is just a thought. In addition to the innate talent and hobby of painting, There is nothing else in life. The word "play" is strange to him, and it is also a word that he thinks should not appear in life.
But as he met Xia Qiu, and even Qianqi all the way, he began to feel that even if this trip was to fulfill his responsibilities as a descendant of the demon king fox, it gradually became fun. He had a lot of feelings that he had never had before, and he also began to have the impulse to laugh, shout, cry, and even competitive and jealousy. While thinking about learning to ride, he also rolled up his sleeves and followed.
"There is no bucket here, so we need to dig a hole on the edge of the river first. After catching the fish, you can put it here first. You see it like this." Qianqi was very experienced in digging out a pit on the edge of the river and leaving a small inlet to connect with the river. After a while, the pit was filled with river water.
"When you wait for a fish, you should stand still, and when you catch a fish, you should be quick-sighted." Qianqi said and walked to the middle of the river and stood there for a while. When a fish swam by, he grabbed the fish in an instant, and then walked over and put it into the previously dug puddle. As soon as the fish entered the puddle, it began to swim. Qianqi looked at Ouyang Xiao Leng proudly, "How's it going? Can you do it?"
Ouyang Xiao Leng did not answer, but also walked to the center of the river. Just a few fish swam at the same time. He quickly grabbed two of them, and then walked to Qianqi in a hurry, deliberately raised them up to show him, and then put them into the puddle.
"Hey, it's really yours." Qianqi praised, but he was very unconvinced. As he spoke, he ran to the center of the river.
The two of them filled the puddles with the fish they caught in a short time. At this time, Xia Qiu had also built a stove for grilled fish with the stones by the river. Qianqi proudly ran over and pulled her to watch him and Ouyang Xiao Leng's success. She was excited to see that they had caught so many fish in such a short time. Already.
Qianqi unexpectedly bent down and splashed her body. She pretended to be angry and bent down as if to hit him back, but suddenly turned to the direction of flirting the water towards Ouyang Xiao Leng. Ouyang Xiao Leng hesitated for a few seconds and unexpectedly joined their battle. Although his face was not as bright as Qianqi and Xia Qiu, his eyes were much clearer.
The three teenagers formed the most beautiful picture under the sunset. Ouyang Xiao Leng and Qianqi were like ice and fire, but they couldn't help but be attracted by Xia Qiu. Around her, Ouyang Hongye and others were fascinated.
