Nannan had a feeling something was amiss and wanted to switch mounts with Xiao Liu.
She just got second place by relying on her sister's twisted logic, so she has to keep up with her sister.
The result of the competition was: the third-place finisher removed fish bones for the first-place finisher, and the fourth-place finisher removed fish bones for the second-place finisher.
With just her two little paws, she couldn't possibly serve so many contestants on the bamboo raft.
Xiao Liu's eyes darted around, glancing at the wisps of smoke rising from his father's side. He decisively nodded in agreement to switch places with Nannan, not forgetting to remind the troublemaker who had added a rule on the spot.
"Mom, you can't go back on your word."
Shishi raised her hand to assure everyone, "Let's follow the rules of the game we just played."
After one round...
"Hahaha, I'm number one again, and Nannan is number two."
“This time, the big fish and the little fish swam three times, while you only went once. Even if you doubled the number, it would only be one round trip. I’ll give you one more trip.”
Zhou Dayu and Zhou Xiaoyu stared with innocent little eyes.
Little master, I'm sorry, but the master said fiercely that if we dare to slow down, he would cut off our fins and break our tails so that we would lose all speed. We dare not gamble.
Yu Sheng has once again learned a great lesson: when it comes to humans, you should listen to your parents; children have no say.
Shishi patted Zhou Dayu's head repeatedly, looking quite smug.
Little brats, do you think I don't know you two little guys are telling the big fish and the little fish to take it easy?
Should we take it easy?
This is cheating.
When I lied to your father, you weren't even born yet. It's immoral for you to compare yourself to me; you're still too green.
"Hey, is the fish ready?"
"The grilled fish is ready. I added pickled radish to the fish soup, but it will take a few more minutes for the soup to become flavorful. Would you like to come up and eat the grilled fish first?" Anbian replied truthfully.
"Eat, children, remove the fish bones."
Riverside.
Three tigers, three chickens, and four black and white bears stood in a row facing the riverbank, with two large golden basins in front of them, filled with fragrant roasted fish.
Two enormous pythons were coiled up opposite them, lounging like old men, their mouths agape, waiting to be eaten.
Zhou Dayu and Zhou Xiaoyu lay on the bank, their big tails occasionally splashing the river water, creating a joyful melody for the riverside restaurant with the sound of the waves.
Tiger and Chicken serve Zhou Dayu and the Second Brother, while the Bear family serves Zhou Xiaoyu and the Eldest Brother.
As it turns out, taking sides is very important.
Stand in the right spot and you'll get to eat; stand in the wrong spot and you'll become a servant.
With a fierce expression, Miao bit the head of a fish, removed the fins on both sides with its sharp claws, then pierced the flesh with a chopstick, pressed and pulled, leaving only the fish bones below the head.
The fish heads and bones are for the fishmongers, and they have to be saved up until a whole basin of fish has been cleaned before they can eat them.
Meow~ (Second Uncle, please have your meal.)
Uncle Er opened his mouth, ah~~
The fish we won was delicious.
Its companions did the same. If they didn't have enough claws, they would team up with each other. Anyway, they had to peel all the fish in the pot, so how they peeled them was their business.
Following Miao Yi's actions, Xie Daxue put the fish head in his mouth and gave the fish meat he had peeled off to the eldest brother.
The eldest stared intently at its mouth, hissing as it spat out its head.
Xie Da shook his head hesitantly, his silly and simple expression indicating that he was an honest fellow.
The eldest brother lashed out with its tail, then hissed and complained, "Master, it stole some food!"
Shishi brought over a bowl of fish, picked up a piece of fish belly, and said, "Thank you, open your mouth, ah~"
Xie opened his mouth wide, and the fish head fell out. He sucked it clean, leaving only the fish head skeleton.
The evidence of the theft is complete.
Shishi used her chopsticks to steer the fish into her mouth.
"Xie Da broke the rules and implicated his whole family. Xiong Jiacu peeled an extra basin of fish. Zhou Dayu and Zhou Xiaoyu, you go catch more fish. Catch as many as you want to eat."
Xie Da: ...Master is so heartless.
Tuesday, caught in the crossfire, and the chattering bear stared wide-eyed, playfully punching the culprit with their little fists.
Okay, okay, you'll get away with sneaking a bite.
The cook, also surnamed Xie: ...
"Shishi, put away the charcoal for grilling fish."
"It's okay, you can keep burning it. Games have penalties and rewards; your reward is a piece of boneless fish, ah~"
To his delight, Xie Lin opened his mouth and took the food in one gulp. "No problem, start the furnace right away."
"Sour grapes," Xie Da muttered, pouting.
It must be because the male homeowner's mouth is bigger than mine, yes, that's it.
While everyone was enjoying the whole fish feast, Guagua went to work. When the camping trip by the river ended, it returned with good news.
"Thanks, you found the cave. It's huge, but it might have been visited before. You'll have to figure out how to cover up what you left there."
There's a big Buddha statue here. "Visited" means "I've been here before." Those who know, know.
Is it close by?
“There are caves nearby, but the one I was looking for was on the other side of the mountain.”
"That's fine then. There's nothing to explain. We're not gold-producing machines. We keep our harvests to ourselves. Who would announce it to the world?"
Practice makes perfect, and he quickly put his valuables away.
The next day, Shishi skillfully dialed a surprise phone call and made up a story.
"Grandpa, we've struck it rich! We're camping on the mountain. We woke up this morning to watch the sunrise, and then our little girl fell into a pit. What a coincidence! The pit is connected to a small hole, and if you crawl through the small hole, you'll find a big hole with lots of big gold ingots and gold bricks inside."
The top leader was speechless with astonishment, asking, "How many boxes?"
“There’s more than last time. There’s a big Buddha statue here, and we suspect it’s money from the construction of the Buddha statue in the past.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a voice said, "Is it well-hidden?"
Oh, that means...
"It's very deep, a cave within a cave. You won't find it unless you search inside, and even if you search, you might not find it. The exit is on the edge of the cliff."
