"Sis, what are you tying up like that?"
"Hmm? Raw pig liver."
"Um, okay."
Mu Liuyun felt somewhat speechless, not because Sister Wang used raw pig liver to catch lobsters, but because she couldn't understand why there was a bag of raw pig liver behind Sister Wang's shop counter.
"Alright, let's watch!"
After everything was ready, Sister Wang threw the end of the cotton thread tied with the raw pig liver into the waterway at the edge of the field.
Before long, there was movement on the branch. With a gentle lift, Sister Wang revealed a crayfish that was seven or eight centimeters long to Mu Liuyun.
Seeing the crayfish struggling to grip the cotton thread, Mu Liuyun's eyes lit up: "Sis, it's huge!"
The crayfish from Northeast China were different in color from those Mu Liuyun had eaten before, and they were also much larger in size.
Sister Wang touched her nose smugly: "Big? This is considered small!"
"Our crayfish, if they didn't grow so slowly, would have been popular all over the country long ago!"
"Find a stick too, and I'll teach you how to fish!"
Upon hearing Sister Wang's words, Mu Liuyun immediately sprang into action, squatting down beside Sister Wang and joining her in fishing for crayfish.
"Sister Wang! This is ten centimeters long! Is this considered big?"
"No, I've caught one that was twelve centimeters long before!"
Like this?
After a short while, looking at the full bucket next to Mu Liuyun and the crayfish that was a whole handle long in his hand, Sister Wang fell silent.
Is this scientifically sound?
Is this reasonable?
It's one thing to catch a lot, but can you even call a crayfish that long a crayfish?
She'd never seen anything like it before.
"Damn it!"
Once again, Wang Jie's competitive spirit was aroused. She gritted her teeth and cast her line again. When she felt a movement, she immediately put the line back.
"..."
This time, seeing a small stone tangled in the cotton thread, Sister Wang completely lost her temper and snapped the branch off hard: "These beasts, they just love Little Nanniang!"
...
After coaxing the distraught Wang Jie home, Mu Liuyun finally lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) that she had spent half the day tidying up.
Because Wang Ma was afraid that Mu Liuyun's delicate skin wouldn't be able to withstand a hard bed, she laid out several layers of mattresses for him and also inserted an electric blanket.
Although the kang (heated brick bed) had been prepared, it was still summer, so it was impossible to actually heat it up right now, which made Mu Liuyun feel a little regretful.
After watching the light in Sister Wang's room go out, Mu Liuyun also wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and lay down on the bed.
Overall, he was very satisfied with everything that happened in Beiji Village today.
Fresh vegetables, delicious food, a sky full of stars—no matter what it was, Mu Liuyun was completely captivated.
For a moment, she even forgot what she had gone through to get here. Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun looked out the window at the stars in the sky.
He wasn't particularly interested in astronomy, but the starry sky was so beautiful that even someone who wasn't an astronomy enthusiast could appreciate it.
Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun couldn't help but show a longing expression.
"The stars here are so beautiful. If only I could bring Chu, um, Xiao, um, Xiao Yu, oh..."
The more he spoke, the more Mu Liuyun frowned. In the end, he simply shut his mouth and didn't speak again for a long time. He muttered to himself, "If only I could bring Grandpa along so we could all see this together."
It's alright, Xiaoyun, you still have Grandpa.
Because of her self-talk, Mu Liuyun's brain cells became active again, and she needed to find something to calm down.
The ever-optimistic Mu Liuyun would never choose to immerse himself in online venting late at night. He prefers to read novels at such times, especially Tomato Novels, which are practically his magic weapon for banishing loneliness.
After opening the app, Mu Liuyun was about to find a novel on the bestseller list to read when she discovered that "The Gu Family's Tomb Raiding Family," which she was following, had been updated.
Because the name was not very coherent, Mu Liuyun couldn't remember for a long time why such a terrible book would appear on her bookshelf.
Curious, Mu Liuyun flipped through a couple of pages before realizing, "Isn't this Gu Nan's book?"
I added it to my bookshelf a month ago, and I've only updated less than twenty chapters. You're really diligent!
"Fine, I guess I can take a look at this crime record book."
With a sigh, Mu Liuyun began to read Gu Nan's novel.
"...This is really not something a human being can watch."
The more Mu Liuyun read, the more her brows furrowed. It's no exaggeration to say that if he read Gu Nan's novels for a month, he would definitely be able to shed his current effeminate identity and turn into a little old man.
"Gu Nan decides to dig up the family treasure in order to fulfill his mother's wish? What kind of elementary school student's diary is this?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Mu Liuyun was about to switch to another book when she saw this.
"Is the secret treasure buried in Beiji Town?"
What a coincidence?
That's something I could go check out.
Just as she was about to perk up and watch for a while longer, a wave of drowsiness washed over her. Mu Liuyun hugged the blanket and closed her eyes, not even noticing that her phone had fallen to the ground.
In her dream, Mu Liuyun returned to ten years ago, a time when her family was going through the most difficult period, but it was also the happiest time for Mu Liuyun.
He has two older brothers and sisters who love him dearly, and a younger sister who needs his love and care.
The older brother's name is Mu Jianghe, and the older sister's name is Mu Pingxi.
When they were together, Mu Jianghe was more like an older sister, while Mu Pingxi was more like an older brother.
Besides these former family members, Mu Liuyun also saw Chu Yaqin, Shen Lanxin and others, but they were not the shrewd and capable career women they are now, but rather young students.
The people who appeared in her dream made Mu Liuyun, who was still asleep, smile.
...
...
"President Chu? What a coincidence."
"President Shen? It's quite a coincidence."
In the first-class cabin of the plane flying from Jincheng Airport to the Northeast, Chu Yaqin and Shen Lanxin looked at each other in surprise, then nodded to each other.
"President Chu, you don't need to call me President Chen anymore."
Chu Yaqin raised an eyebrow, guessing that Shen Lanxin's words were about her own family matters, and didn't say anything more.
She wasn't surprised that Shen Lanxin would be here, after all, she was able to find out that Mu Liuyun had taken a plane to the Northeast, so it wasn't surprising that Shen Lanxin had found out as well.
"Then I'll call you Lanxin. We're competitors, but we're also friends."
"No objection."
After exchanging a few words, the two sat down close together.
"Lanxin, do you have more information?"
Shen Lanxin shook her head: "I only know that he went to the Northeast, but I don't know exactly where."
Even if they had connections and influence in Jincheng, it was impossible for them to monitor Mu Liuyun, who had no criminal record, the entire time.
"We can only search one place at a time."
Shen Lanxin lowered her head slightly. Normally, she would never do something so inefficient. But since Mu Liuyun was involved, she had no choice but to do her best.
"It would be great if there were one more person."
Chu Yaqin sighed and turned her gaze to the boarding gate, where she saw a tall young girl wearing a baseball cap walking onto the plane.
