Chapter 48 Fishing

Then, she clapped her hands and called out in a baby voice, "Let's go!"

The voice was clear and loud, echoing in the air, and the excitement seemed to overflow from her.

Qian Jingyao's sky-blue eyes were full of smiles, just like the clear sky reflected in the azure lake. He turned his head again, with concern in his big eyes. Seeing that Xia Yuke was sitting firmly, he spread out his four hooves and ran.

His body was light and graceful, and he created a breeze as he ran towards the river in the misty forest, raising a small cloud of dust behind him.

When we arrived at the river at the edge of the misty forest, the water was crystal clear.

There are lots of fish in it!

Moreover, it had a strange appearance, and Xia Yueke couldn't take his eyes off it.

She saw a fish that looked like it had wings. The wings were colorful and flashed with light when they flapped. The body was covered with hard scales. The fish had a big, round head and eyes that bulged out like copper bells.

"Yaoyao, look at this fish. Is it the legendary flying fish?"

Xia Yueke looked at Qian Jingyao with sparkling eyes, as if she wanted to ask Qian Jingyao if he knew.

Qian Jingyao pulled Xia Yuke away from the river, as if afraid that she would fall.

"This is finfish! Beneath the scales of this fish is tender flesh. The scales fall off automatically after steaming. The flesh is translucent and melts in your mouth, with a light fruity aroma!"

"I came here this time to get some fish like this, so I can make soup for you, Coco!"

Xia Yuke nodded to show that she understood, but she was still staring at the fish under the water, because she had never seen this kind of fish before and couldn't help but feel curious.

“I want to go fishing, too!”

Qian Jingyao looked at Xia Yueke helplessly, but couldn't resist her expectant look, so he nodded in agreement.

He first carefully observed the river and the movements of the fish, then calmly took out a small, fine net from his bag and handed it to Xia Yueke, saying in a serious tone:

"Just stand here and try to scoop some fish with the net. If anything happens, call me. Don't run around. The river may look shallow, but it's actually very deep in some places."

Xia Yueke couldn't wait to take the net, and then carefully approached the river.

She stared closely at the colorful finned fish in the water, spotted a slightly smaller one, and thought it would be easier to catch, so she suddenly thrust the net into the water.

But those finned fish were like clever little ghosts in the water. They were so smart that they just swung their tails lightly as if they were installed with springs and easily avoided Xia Yueke's "net".

This dodge was terrible. The river water was like a bomb explosion, splashing a large amount of water, all of which hit Xia Yueke, soaking her clothes in an instant, making her look like a drowned chicken.

That’s not all. There was a very naughty fin fish that jumped out of the water with a "splash" and did a difficult three and a half somersaults in the air.

After drawing an incredibly beautiful arc, it actually flew straight towards Xia Yueke's head.

Xia Yueke was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her originally rosy lips lost their color.

The big blue eyes opened wide, full of fear, and screamed at the top of their lungs:

"Yaoyao, help me—this fish is trying to kill me!

Qian Jingyao was laughing at Xia Yueke's miserable appearance, but when he heard the cry for help, he rushed over with a mixture of laughter and tears.

He reached out and caught the finless fish that was still in free fall, then used his other hand to pull Xia Yueke to safety like a chicken.

"Hey, Coco, are you being bullied by a fish? Look at you, you've lost your soul to being scared by a fish."

Qian Jingyao laughed as he spoke, and that smile was full of helplessness and doting.

At this time, Xia Yueke's hair was messy and stuck to her face, with water droplets constantly sliding down from the ends of her hair. There was still a trace of panic in her blue eyes, but also a sense of relief at having survived the disaster.

"I was so scared. I almost thought I was going to die at the hands of a fish so soon..."

Xia Yuke patted her chest. After all, that big fish must weigh at least 20 kilograms, right?

If she gets hit, her head will definitely be broken open!

Qian Jingyao squatted in front of Xia Yueke and said, "Watch me."

After saying that, he first rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms, then squatted down, staring at the water surface, not missing any movement.

Suddenly, his hands reached into the water as fast as lightning, drew a graceful arc in the water, and accurately picked up a finned fish.

The fish kept struggling in his hands, flapping its colorful wings wildly, creating a small splash of water, trying to escape the sudden restraint.

Qian Jingyao stood up carefully with a smug smile on his face.

Xia Yueke screamed excitedly: "Yaoyao, you are so awesome!"

Qian Jingyao put the fish into the stone bucket prepared on the side and said to Xia Yueke with a smile:

"Come on, let's catch a few more."

Xia Yueke tried again, this time she was fully focused.

I finally caught a finless fin fish in the net and was feeling very happy, but I didn't notice there was a piece of moss under my feet. My foot slipped and I fell backwards.

Fortunately, Qian Jingyao was quick-witted and grabbed her, but the fish took the opportunity to escape.

Xia Yue was so angry that her face was puffed up. "Humph! I don't believe I can't catch any fish!"

Xia Yueke was encouraged by Qian Jingyao's successful fishing and approached the river again with full confidence.

She imitated Qian Jingyao and squatted quietly on the shore, her eyes fixed on the finned fish swimming in the water.

She took a fancy to a finless fish that was wandering by the water plants. The fish seemed to be looking for something and was swimming a little slower.

Xia Yueke widened her big eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly put the net into the water, trying not to make any big noise.

The net approached the target silently in the water. Just when it was about to touch the finned fish, Xia Yueke's heart beat faster with nervousness.

In a flash, she lifted the net suddenly, and at this critical moment, she slipped away from the edge of the net, bringing with her a string of crystal clear water droplets.

Maybe Xia Yueke was too focused and didn't notice the moss under her feet that was as slippery as if it had been greased.

His body suddenly tilted, and with a "splash", he fell into the river.

This time, the river water was flowing so fast that Xia Yueke didn't even have a chance to react.

She was so panicked in the water, struggling desperately like a headless fly.

The river water kept pouring into her mouth, blocking all her cries in her throat, and she couldn't even shout out.

Perhaps because he was too scared, Xia Yueke actually turned into a furry little fox cub.

That little thing looked so cute and funny, splashing around in the water even more happily, like a furry ball rolling around in the water.
