One of the monks came over, clasped his hands together and said, "Master Song, Master Yuanhui is in the side hall. You can go see him after you burn incense."
Old Master Song nodded and led everyone into the hall.
Except for An Lan and Eric, everyone else went to burn incense. After An Ci came out from burning incense, he looked around boredly and asked Song Yuan in a low voice, "Is there anything fun here?"
Song Yuan said, "There's a stream behind where you can catch fish and shrimp."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go together." Eric came over with sparkling eyes.
An Ci's mouth twitched. A dog's ears were not as useful as his.
"No, you have to ask an adult first." Song Yuan also wanted to go, but he was timid. "Xiao Ci, you go ask."
An Ci rolled his eyes at him, quickly ran to An Lan, and said directly, "Mom, we want to go play in the creek behind.
The old man and the others went to talk to Master Yuanhui, but it wasn't over so quickly. An Lan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you."
"I want to go too." Song Xi held An Ci's hand with a sweet and cute smile.
An Lan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."
There is a large pear blossom forest behind the temple. If you walk further back, you can see a slowly flowing stream. The sunlight shines on the water, and the clear stream is sparkling.
An Ci looked a little dazed. This place was very similar to the back mountain of Yaowang Valley, which also had such a beautiful and clear stream. When she was a child, she often liked to run to the stream and sit by it to read, sometimes staying there for the whole day.
"I'm going to catch two big fish and grill them."
Hearing Eric's bold words, An Ci regained consciousness and turned to look at him.
Eric took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs and was about to rush down.
However, An Lan caught him back the next second and said, "Wait, take off your coat, it will get wet."
The water in the stream is not deep and there is no danger, so it’s okay to go in and play for a while.
Eric couldn't wait to take off his coat. An Lan reached out to help him take it on and said softly, "Don't play too hard, you guys. You'll catch a cold if your clothes get wet."
"I understand." Song Yuan responded, took off his shoes, socks and coat, and followed Eric into the water.
It was the dead of winter and the stream water was very cold. Eric shivered as soon as he went in.
The next moment, he saw a small fish swimming past his feet and cried out excitedly, "Fuck, there really is a fish!"
"Xiao Ci, Xiao Xi, come here quickly." Song Yuan stood in the water and shouted towards them.
"Coming." An Ci quickly took off his shoes, socks and coat, and ran over with Song Xi.
The water in this stream is very clear and there are many fish and shrimps, but Eric couldn't catch them every time he saw them. After finally catching one, it slipped away.
He was furious. "These fish are not listening at all."
An Lan was standing by and couldn't help laughing when she heard his words. She suddenly thought of something and took out her cell phone to take a picture of them.
Then, she picked out a few personal photos of Eric and sent them to her sister who was far away in Country Y.
"Baby, you are so awesome." Song Xi's smiling voice sounded beside him, and his little hands kept clapping.
Eric and Song Yuan turned their heads and saw An Ci holding a fish in one hand and throwing it accurately into the bucket they brought. His casual movements were indescribably cool.
Eric's jaw dropped. "No, did you drug the fish?"
If he hadn't tried it himself, he would have thought catching fish was an easy task.
An Ci glanced at him and said with a smile, "Don't blame the fish for being disobedient, it's your fault."
After saying that, she bent down and continued looking for fish.
When she was in Yaowang Valley, not to mention fishing in the water, even hunting in the mountains was a piece of cake for her.
Accustomed to her sharp tongue, Eric no longer cared and moved closer to her to see how she caught the fish.
After a while, a small fish swam over here and hid in the crevice of the rock.
Eric got so excited that he couldn't control his voice and said, "There is one."
Before he could finish his words, the fish hiding in the crevice of the rock flicked its tail and slipped away in a flash.
An Ci's hand hit nothing, and he turned to look at the "culprit" with a half-smile, "If you yell at the fish again, you won't be able to eat grilled fish tonight."
No wonder he couldn't catch the fish. He just wasted all his energy on the fish.
Song Yuan and Song Xi burst into laughter. Eric avoided An Ci's gaze and coughed lightly, "I didn't mean to do that. I just couldn't help it."
An Ci was speechless and lowered his head to continue looking for fish.
An Lan held up her phone to take pictures of them when suddenly a phone call came in.
The origin of the incoming call is Country Y.
She walked to the side and answered the call, "Hello, sister."
"Xiao Lan, has Dad gone to the capital?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded tired.
"Yeah, I arrived yesterday." An Lan said, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you sound so tired?"
