Chapter 649: Fighting
The two of them were sandwiched between Bai Shan, one on each side, and were making so much noise that he slapped the water with his wooden board and shouted, "Stop making noise! I'm going deaf."
The water flew over and splashed all over Manbao's face.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were both stunned.
Manbao closed his eyes and wiped his face with his hand, looking at Bai Shan with water dripping from his hair.
Daji was startled, his gut feeling that he was doomed. Sure enough, before the thought even crossed his mind, Manbao had already stretched out his hand and splashed water towards Baishan...
The water not only splashed on Bai Shan, but also on Bai Erlang, so the three of them immediately started to quarrel, and even Daji, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, was implicated.
Daji wiped the water off his face, silently moved a little, and ignored them.
If he wasn't afraid that the boat would capsize and he wouldn't be able to save three people at once, he would have wanted to stop paddling the boat and just let them capsize.
The splashing water hit her face, making Manbao unable to open her eyes. She simply closed her eyes and waved her hands vigorously, splashing water in the direction she had aimed at before...
Bai Shan moved nimbly to the other side and was only slightly affected. The largest stream of water rushed towards Bai Erlang's face.
Bai Shan saw Dale and laughed, clapping his hands and saying, "You deserve it, you deserve it..."
Bai Erlang was furious and hit Manbao back while giving him a hand full of water.
Manbao also opened his eyes, and while fighting back against Bai Erlang, he also gave Bai Shan a handful of water. Sitting in the middle, Bai Shan, who was trapped on both sides, was splashed with water all over his body and face...
When the three of them rowed the boat back to the shore laughing, not only were their clothes wet, but Daji's clothes were also mostly wet.
They pulled some grass from the roadside to tie up the lotus pods and gave them to Daji to take out. They aimed at the wall connecting Yan's house and their own house, jumped up, stepped over the top of their own wall, and then looked at the flowers blooming below. Bai Shan supported himself on the wall and walked down two steps quickly, then closed his eyes and jumped down, stepping on three or two flowers.
Zhou Lijun turned around after hearing the noise and saw Bai Erlang also jumping down from the wall and stepping on her aunt's precious flowers and plants. She immediately shouted, "What are you doing, aunt? They took your flowers..."
Before he finished speaking, Manbao also appeared on the wall. Zhou Lijun: ...
Manbao also saw the flowers and plants he had destroyed, and pouted, "Can't you be more careful?"
Bai Shan said to her, "If you have the guts, don't step on it."
Manbao took a look and found it a bit difficult. Finally, he sighed and jumped down the wall. He didn't land on the place where Bai Erlang had just stepped on, but stepped on a flower next to it. Fortunately, the roots were okay, so it looked like it could still be saved.
Daji also jumped onto the top of the wall. He glanced at the flowers and plants below the wall, and also saw everyone looking at him.
He paused, turned around, stepped on the wall and jumped onto the roof, then leaped down from the roof like a roc spreading its wings...
Everyone's mouth opened wide and they couldn't help but clap their hands softly.
Zhou Lijun didn't care about them stepping on the flowers they had worked so hard to grow. Instead, he ran to Manbao and asked, "Auntie, I want to learn."
Manbao nodded repeatedly and looked at Baishan.
Bai Shan sighed and said, "That's probably difficult. I didn't learn it when I was younger."
Zhou Lijun was surprised, "If I didn't learn it when I was young, I can't learn it when I grow up?"
Bai Erlang said, "Learning martial arts is different from studying. The earlier you start learning, the better. It's written in the storybooks."
"That's not right," Manbao hesitated, "Shouldn't it be that whether it's studying or martial arts, the earlier you start learning, the better?"
Bai Erlang choked and said, "Anyway, he didn't learn it when he was a kid, and he's even less likely to learn it now. And if he can't learn it, then we can't learn it either, so let's forget about it."
Zhou Lijun was unconvinced, "Just because you can't learn it doesn't mean my aunt can't learn it. She's very smart."
Bai Er thought for a moment and said, "I don't think she can learn it either. Look at us learning to climb the wall. Bai Shan and I are better than her. We climbed up half a day earlier than her."
With this interruption, Zhou Lijun no longer remembered about practicing martial arts. Daji untied the lotus pods and handed them to them, then he took one and squatted on the steps to eat it.
Manbao picked out the two largest ones and gave them to his husband, then ran out to peel lotus seeds and eat them.
Zhou Lijun then realized that their clothes were all wet, and he quickly grabbed Lianzi and said, "Hurry up and take a shower and change clothes. What if you catch a cold and get sick?"
The lotus seeds were very sweet. Manbao didn't even dry his hair. After taking a shower, he found a secluded place to peel and eat lotus seeds.
Zhou Lijun sat next to her and grumbled, "Aunt, don't go to the Yan residence next time. I heard that the Yan residence is about to be sold."
"Who said that?"
"The neighbors said they'd run into the county government several times when they were out and about. They brought people in to look at the house. Didn't you see that hole in the wall in the alley was torn open and carefully re-bricked?"
Manbao thought about it seriously and said in surprise: "It's true."
Ever since County Magistrate Tang knew that they would go there to play from time to time, he ordered people to simply block the hole with gravel to prevent people from going in there again.
Manbao ran out with the lotus pod and took a look at the hole. In the light that was not yet completely dark, Manbao saw that the wall was built relatively flat. He didn't know if there was any shoddy workmanship, but the wall of the hole on this side was retracted half a finger, so Manbao and the others never noticed that the blockage in the hole had been replaced.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also came out to take a look, and then the three boys and girls with wet hair turned around and went back without looking back.
The three of them sat down on small stools and discussed the matter. Bai Shan said, "The grass on that house is still so tall and messy."
Bai Erlang: "No one came even though we were laughing and making noise. Obviously, no one wanted to come."
Manbao: "So it must not have been sold yet."
The three of them said, "So, while it's not owned by someone else, let's eat some of the good lotus pods and other things inside?"
Zhou Lijun also peeled several lotus seeds and ate them. She was tempted and said, "I'll go with you and bring the basket with me."
"That's too much to take back, right?"
Zhou Lijun said, "Don't worry, we can just use a rope to hang it on the wall. The lotus pods aren't heavy, so we can bring a few extra baskets."
Manbao also nodded. "Lotus pods can be kept for several days. Although fresh ones are more delicious, I don't mind if they are not fresh."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly.
Manbao glanced down at the lotus pods at his feet, picked out two large ones, handed one to Bai Shan and said, "Keep this and give it to Mr. Wu tomorrow."
Mr. Wu was the person in charge of the library. Although Manbao had never met him at the front door, he had run into him several times among the bookshelves.
She felt embarrassed to read books secretly, so she would often ask Bai Shan to bring him some things. Of course, Mr. Wu didn't know that it was her who asked him to bring them, and he just thought that it was Bai Shan who sent them to him.
