After these days of recuperation, Feng Su's injuries from the prison have almost completely healed.
"Owner."
"Shh, don't talk, you've driven my fish away." I turned my head and put my finger to my lips, shushing him.
Feng Su covered her mouth to keep quiet, her eyes darting around before landing on me. She whispered, "Master, if you want to eat fish, just cast a spell, and the fish will fill this basket immediately." Feng Su pointed to the bamboo basket beside me. "Why go through all that trouble?"
I tapped Feng Su's soft, fluffy head and said, "So if you use magic for everything, life is so boring."
Feng Su received a solid tap on the head from me, and still muttering in confusion while rubbing her head, "But this is too slow. We've been waiting for so long, Master, and you still haven't caught a single fish."
I coughed lightly to cover my embarrassment, "It's all your fault for talking so much that you scared the fish away."
Feng Su protested softly in dissatisfaction, "I clearly..." but immediately fell silent after seeing my kind look.
Satisfied, I turned my head and began to concentrate on fishing, but why wasn't the fish coming out?
Is it that rare? I looked at the fishing rod, but I remember watching other people fish so easily.
"Never mind, let's fish slowly." I gently placed the fishing rod on the bank and glanced at Feng Su. Feng Su was lying on the grass, sunlight filtering through the leaves, leaving only dappled sunlight on Feng Su's face. Time was peaceful.
I lay down on the ground, mimicking Feng Su's posture. The sunlight was blocked by the shade of the trees, leaving only a faint glow on my face, warm and gentle. The fragrance of grass filled my nostrils, and gradually, I began to feel sleepy.
When I opened my eyes, the sun was already setting, and there was a slight chill in the breeze. I sat up and went to get my fishing rod.
Well, the bait I put at the end of the fishing line had long been eaten clean by the fish. I sighed. I hadn't caught a single fish all day.
As I sat up, Feng Su rubbed her eyes and woke up. Seeing my empty fishing rod, she smiled broadly and said, "Master, you caught a fish! Let me see." With that, she looked down at the basket.
The basket was clean and empty, just as it was when we arrived.
"Master..." Feng Su was a little stunned. She looked up at my depressed face and said, "Master, really? You didn't catch a single fish all morning?"
"I accidentally fell asleep..." I sighed, reeling in my fishing rod in frustration.
Feng Su scratched his head and comforted me, "Master, it's alright. At worst, I'll use my magic to catch a few fish for you right now."
"Forget it, if I can't catch anything, I'll just give up." I packed up my fishing rod, picked up the basket on the ground, and prepared to go home.
"Master, why?" Feng Su scratched his head in confusion. "Didn't you want to eat braised fish? Without fish, how can You Yuan make braised fish for you?"
"I'll come fishing again tomorrow."
"Alright." Feng Su glanced longingly at the fish swimming in the water.
Let's go.
Okay.
As the sun set, a graceful woman and a man with a full head of golden hair walked along the riverbank, laughing and chatting. Their laughter filled the mountain stream.
"You, I'm back!" As soon as I got home, I threw the fishing rod and basket on the ground and shouted for You.
Feng Su followed behind me and silently put away the fishing rod I had just dropped.
"Xin'er, you're back." You's voice came from the middle room. There were still some fine water droplets on You's hands. She was wearing a hat and an apron.
Judging from her outfit, I can tell at a glance that You was busy in the kitchen again.
I stepped forward to take You's hand.
Unexpectedly, You moved her hand back, her face serious, and asked, "Did you wash your hands?"
I withdrew my hand, opened my palm, and looked at it. It was quite clean, but I still nodded honestly, "Not yet."
"Go wash your hands, I'm cooking."
"Okay," I replied, and followed You to the backyard to wash my hands.
When I built this house, I didn't plan on having a pond, so naturally there was no well water either.
However, there are too many places in life where we need water. Fortunately, our house is built against the mountain, so we brought down the spring water from the mountain. We used bamboo made of jade as pipes to bring the spring water to our backyard, so there is a sparse sound of water in our backyard all year round.
The cleaner water flows into the distant river through a channel we dug on the left, while the water we used flows into a large pit we made of blue bricks through a channel on the right.
This bamboo in our backyard has been made so that it can sway flexibly. When not in use, the bamboo always leans to the left, and when we use it, it turns to the right.
Oh, and we also clean up the sewage regularly.
"Xin'er, where are the fish you caught?"
I was washing my hands when I heard You's voice coming from the kitchen.
"I didn't catch any fish today." After quickly washing my hands, I went into the kitchen, but I was hesitant to get close to You, because You had told me to stay away from the stove.
"Didn't catch anything?" You chatted with me as she quickly chopped the ingredients for today's meal. "Didn't you go out early this morning? Didn't you catch a single fish all day?"
Feeling a little embarrassed, my face flushed slightly, and I whispered, "I fell asleep while fishing."
You chuckled softly and didn't blame me. "Then what about your braised fish today?"
"We'll eat it tomorrow." I chuckled and ran out. I then went to the backyard and picked some weeds. Firstly, to help the vegetables in the field grow better, and secondly, to feed the rabbits in the front yard.
I ran towards the front yard with a big bunch of green grass in my hands. When I passed the kitchen, You saw me and nagged, "Xin'er, you just washed your hands, how come you got them dirty again?"
I spit out my food and cheerfully replied, "I'll go feed the rabbits."
I carried a large handful of grass and quickly arrived at the rabbit burrow. There were five white rabbits, three black rabbits, and one gray rabbit. The rabbits were huddled together in twos and threes. Some of the rabbits stared with red eyes, seemingly lost in thought, their little mouths moving and their whiskers trembling.
I divided the grass in my hand into several batches and placed them in the four directions of the enclosure, front, back, left, and right. Then I squatted down and watched the rabbits eat.
Looking at the rabbits' fluffy fur, I couldn't resist ruffling it a few times before I was finally satisfied.
Originally, these rabbits were raised for food, but as I kept them, I couldn't bear to part with them...
"Master, hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" Feng Su called from under the eaves.
