"Mom, please take this book back for me and put it on the table in my room. I'm going to watch Dad fishing."
Mother Xiao flicked the dried fish in her hand and threw it to Lai Fu at her feet. Ever since the calico cat left, Lai Fu had been staring at the dried fish in Mother Xiao's hand, drooling all over the floor, but he didn't dare to step forward to grab the food.
Laifu was specially trained by Xiao's father. When Laifu was very young, he would put food in front of him and train him to eat. He would not eat unless Xiao's father called him to eat. Without Xiao's father and mother's permission, Laifu would not dare to eat anything at home or outside. When Laifu wanted to eat, he would act like a spoiled child to Xiao's father and mother, and would never steal food from home.
Mother Xiao patted Lai Fu's head, took the book from Xiao Bai's hand with one hand, pushed Lai Fu's head with the other hand, and said:
"Take Lai Fu with you. We haven't walked the dog yet today, so take Song Bao out for a walk as well." Mother Xiao grabbed Song Bao, the little squirrel sleeping in her hair.
"Mom, walking a dog is fine, but walking a squirrel is out of the question. Be careful, Lai Fu might eat you up."
"Go, go, go, Lai Fu is smart, and our Song Bao is even smarter. Let's go quickly. You just made the nest more than an hour ago. Now is a good time to fish."
Xiao Bai held the sleepy Song Bao in one hand and called Lai Fu with the other, and walked along the track across the road to the river bank, then walked downstream along the long river bank.
Dad Xiao also has his own particularities about where he fishes. It's a small puddle by the stream that's neither too deep nor too shallow, and the water is neither fast nor slow. Dad Xiao said that fishing actually requires some skills. He started by watching others fishing, and as he watched, he figured out some tricks. Then he bought a fishing rod and bait, and started trying to fish himself. At first, he couldn't catch any fish, but after trying more, he gradually figured out his own fishing methods, including where to bait and nest, how much bait to put, what kind of fishing rod to use, and how deep the water should be. Different fish live in different depths of water, so it seems that the fishing methods are also different.
Xiao Bai didn't know much about fishing, but he always heard his father muttering about it.
While thinking about this, Xiao Bai used his left hand to push away the reeds blocking the way on the river bank, and called out to Lai Fu who was rolling in the grass on the river bank.
The little squirrel Songbao had no interest in the riverside. After all, it was a wild squirrel before, and it was also an experienced squirrel. Xiao Bai tried to put the little squirrel on the ground and let it play on its own. After trying a few times, she gave up, put the little squirrel on her shoulder, and left it alone.
After passing another reed marsh, not far ahead on the river bank, Father Xiao was sitting on a huge rock, concentrating on fishing.
"Dad~"
"Keep your voice down! Don't disturb the fish."
Xiao Bai then shut up and began to look around the river.
Mother Xiao mentioned that this section of the river should be in front of the house, but as she walked along, she deliberately slowed down to observe the river and the plants on both sides of the river.
The river water was still clear, neither too deep nor too shallow, the aquatic plants in the river were no more lush than before, and the vegetation on both sides of the river had not changed much.
No, there are still changes. Xiao Bai looked at the upper reaches of the river not far away, then turned his head to look at the lower reaches of the river on the other side. In this section of the river, the grass and reeds on both sides seemed to have become more withered?
This shouldn't be the case! If asteroid debris really did fall into this river, shouldn't the water plants in the river be more lush and the reeds on both sides be greener and more lush? Why is the grass and trees looking more withered and yellow instead?
Xiao Bai quietly walked forward, approached Xiao's father, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, have you always been fishing here? Are the plants and trees here always like this?"
"Shh~ Keep your voice down, you're scaring the fish away! Go away, go play somewhere else and don't disturb me fishing."
Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows and called out to Lai Fu, who was rolling on the riverbank not far away: "Lai Fu, come and play ball."
After Xiao Bai finished shouting, he threw a tennis ball towards the river in front of him. This was a game that Lai Fu often played, so Lai Fu was familiar with it!
When Xiao's father realized that something was wrong, Lai Fu had already jumped into the river with a splash.
Father Xiao was furious: "I'm talking to you, kid! How could you...how could you...be like this...Hey! Lai Fu! Lai Fu! You silly dog! There will be no dried fish for you later!" Father Xiao couldn't bear to blame his daughter, so he could only yell at Lai Fu.
Lai Fu was swimming in the river and brought back a tennis ball in his mouth: ······
Xiao Bai laughed heartily: "Dad, I won't bother you now, do you have time to answer my question now?"
Father Xiao had no choice but to pack up his fishing rod while angrily saying, "There's nothing abnormal about it. I think you're the most abnormal!"
"Dad, don't be like this. You can come fishing again tomorrow, ah! Lai Fu!" Xiao Bai shouted in surprise. He saw Lai Fu, who was swimming back with a tennis ball in his mouth, suddenly dropped the tennis ball in his mouth and dived into the river.
The next moment, Lai Fu was seen swimming towards the river bank with a black piece of clothing in his mouth.
Xiao Bai quickly ran over and tried to tear the clothes out of Lai Fu's mouth: "Who knows how long these clothes have been soaking in the river? They are so dirty, throw them away quickly!"
Xiao Bai pulled the corner of the clothes in Lai Fu's mouth, and felt his hand sink. When he looked, he found that what Lai Fu was holding in his mouth was not a piece of clothes, but an unconscious man in black clothes!
