Chapter 79 Cute Wangcai
Fortunately, Wangcai was not a fragile dog. He was not angry when Cui Qingyi kicked him out of the car. He wagged his tail and placed the small basket in his mouth at Konjac's feet. He arched his mouth twice to signal Konjac to take good care of his precious basket.
Konjac rolled his eyes speechlessly. The dead dog would bring the little basket woven by the girl to her several times a day to show off.
Humph, the girl will make one up for her later, as if to see who doesn’t have one.
Li Shun was watching from the side in amazement. Ever since Li Miao went to Cui's house, he would come home every day and tell people how smart Cui's Wangcai was. Before, he didn't think a dog could be that smart.
But today he really saw it. It's not just smart, it's almost a spirit. The two moves of its mouth just now were too magical.
Li Shun was surprised to see this and wanted to touch Wangcai's back, but the big black dog dodged him by turning sideways.
Wangcai refused to let him be touched, but Li Shun was not angry. He smiled and watched Wangcai running to the other side of the donkey cart.
The donkey cart started moving, and a group of people with a dog headed towards the bay pier.
On the way, Li Miao kept talking excitedly. Because there was a little kid making jokes in the middle, the adults didn't feel any restraint and laughed all the way.
The donkey cart had been traveling for less than half an hour when Cui Qingyi gradually smelled the unique smell of sea water, which was a little salty and a little astringent. It went straight from the tip of her nose to her chest, making her feel open-minded.
Gradually, voices could be heard, and it seemed that someone had arrived earlier than them.
Cui Qingyi kept sticking her head out to look forward, which made Mrs. Li laugh and feel a little envious at the same time.
They recalled that when they were very young, their father had not yet become a scholar, and all the family's output throughout the year was used to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone for their father.
The sisters lived a hard and miserable life, and she took her younger sister to the beach to pick up seafood almost every day to supplement the family income.
She wasn't so happy then. She was so sleepy every morning that she couldn't even open her eyes. In order to let her sister sleep a little longer, she often carried people on her back. In winter, the seaside was so cold that people shivered, but they could only endure the biting cold and wade in the water.
The past always makes people sad, but in just a moment, Sister Li put the past behind her.
“Ouch~”
As Li Shunle stopped the donkey cart, Cui Qingyi couldn't wait to jump off the carriage. Her agile movements made Konjac's eyelids jump, and he kept shouting, "Ancestor, can't we be more steady? The sea is there and won't run away."
Cui Qingyi nodded randomly, reached out and handed Wangcai's small basket to its mouth, and the man and the dog ran towards the direction where there were the most people on the beach.
Li Miao followed closely behind, carrying his own small bucket and shovel.
With so many people here and Wangcai following them, Konjac was not afraid that anything might happen to her, so he stayed behind and walked slowly with Mrs. Li and her family.
Looking at the people in front, Sister Li smiled and shook her head, "Miss Cui really has a childish mind. She can be so happy even when she is fishing."
Konjac smiled and nodded: "That's good too." People should live happily like this.
People who come to the beach early are busy picking up seafood left behind by the receding tide, such as kelp, crabs, and clams.
The man who picked up a big crab stood up happily and was about to show off his catch to his companions when he was caught off guard and let out a cry of surprise.
"Wow, whose big dog is this?"
With this exclamation, more and more people saw the big black dog Wangcai, and also saw the two figures, one big and one small, following behind the big dog.
Knowing it was a large domestic dog, everyone was relieved and no longer paid attention to the combination of the people and the dog. The beach after low tide is full of treasures, but if you don't seize the opportunity, the treasure will be picked up by others.
Wangcai stopped moving forward when his paws dipped into the sea water. A madly fleeing prawn appeared in front of him. The big black dog opened his mouth and bit it excitedly, but he forgot that he was still holding his beloved little basket. The basket fell into the sea water with a snap and was about to float away.
Wangcai suddenly became anxious. He frantically flapped his claws and stretched his head to grab the basket. When he finally grabbed the basket, he found that the shrimp had already run away with its claws waving. The big black dog hurried to chase it. For a while, he was so busy that he was overwhelmed.
“Hahahahahaha…”
Cui Qingyi held Li Miao in her hand and laughed loudly. Li Miao even bent over with laughter. If Cui Qingyi hadn't held her, she would have dived into the water.
In Cui Qingyi's eyes, Wangcai has always been a steady big dog, and his occasional mischief is just because he is playing with konjac, so it is particularly novel to see the flustered big dog at this moment.
Wangcai finally gave up the prawns and kept his beloved little basket. He came to Cui Qingyi with the basket in his mouth, all wet, and handed the basket to Cui Qingyi with his mouth. It was obvious that he wanted Cui Qingyi to hold the basket for him.
Cui Qingyi looked at its pitiful appearance and took the basket in her hand. "Go and play, and don't eat anything."
Cui Qingyi has never been to the beach, but she has seen some videos of people doing so. In the videos, it was mentioned that when the tide recedes, poisonous jellyfish from the deep sea may remain. If a sting is not treated in time, it may be life-threatening.
She was afraid that Wangcai would be curious and take a bite of everything he saw.
At this moment, Konjac and Mrs. Li also rushed over.
Knowing that it was Cui Qingyi's first time to go to the beach, he hurriedly reminded her: "Don't grab anything you don't recognize, and be careful not to get bitten by anything."
Cui Qingyi nodded obediently. She had never been a reckless person and would listen to words that were good for her.
Several people went in their respective directions to look for it, and Cui Qingyi followed behind Wangcai, carrying Wangcai's small basket.
The beach was still wet and soft as the tide had just receded. Cui Qingyi walked very carefully. She put any clam shells she saw into the bucket. When she was concentrating on searching, she was startled by a jumping shrimp that suddenly jumped up. By the time Cui Qingyi reacted and tried to catch it, it had already burrowed into the mud and disappeared.
When she came across a small hole emitting bubbles, she would squat down and dig with a small shovel. She would not be disappointed if she didn't find anything. She saw a slowly moving starfish and immediately ran after it. This was the first time she had seen a live starfish.
Not knowing whether this thing was edible, Cui Qingyi didn't try to catch it, but just followed it and watched it for a long time.
Wangcai was running in front. After running for a long time, he found that Cui Qingyi did not catch up with him with his little basket, so he turned back to look for her. When he saw the starfish crawling at a snail's pace, he wanted to stretch out his claws to grab it.
Cui Qingyi stretched out her hand to block it, and Wangcai no longer insisted. Instead, he squatted down and stood with Cui Qingyi to look at this colorful marine creature.
The sun gradually peeked out from the sea level, and the fiery red color covered the junction of the sea and the sky, bringing infinite vitality to all things in the world.
Bright colors were sprinkled on the man and the dog. Konjac, who was not far away, suddenly thought that she would go back and embroider this scene into her embroidery and keep it forever, and take it out to look at it when she and the girl were old.
