The scorching sun gradually sets in the west, and the breeze blowing through the forest becomes cooler.
Su Mu's rough fingers slowly touched the corners of his eyes, and he murmured softly, "It's just that the color is lighter, it doesn't mean it's completely impossible to have children. Maybe... maybe it's possible."
The dampness on his forehead seemed to still be there, and Su Mu couldn't help but touch it again. His beautiful deer eyes lit up with a bit of anticipation.
Suddenly, a nimble grass carp jumped out of the turbulent river, attracting Su Mu's attention. He collected his scattered thoughts and walked to the place where he had cast the net in the morning.
The net knot that was pressed down by the big rock has loosened a lot, and it seems that there are quite a few fish in the net.
Su Mu quickly rolled up his sleeves, rolled up his pants to his knees, moved the big rock with great effort, and began to pull the fishing net towards the shore.
Although he was small, he worked in the fields all year round and was quite strong. He gritted his teeth and slowly pulled the fishing net out of the deep river.
Many smart fish in the net took advantage of the gaps in the net to jump out of the net. Seeing this, Su Mu quickened his pace. Many of the fish in the net were just caught and were still struggling hard to try to escape.
This net is not very big and can only cover a small half of the river surface. The river is quite turbulent. Su Mu is afraid that all the big fish in it have escaped, and he looks a little anxious.
When Lin Mo came with the bucket, he saw Su Mu's small back pulling the fishing net towards the shore.
The little guy was obviously struggling, and his hunched body seemed to be about to be pulled back into the river by the fishing net.
Lin Mo immediately ran over, dropped the wooden barrel, grabbed the net with his big hands, and pulled it forward with all his might. He was tall and strong, and now he was much stronger than Su Mu, a little boy.
Soon the entire fishing net was pulled ashore, and the fish inside were huddled together, moving their bodies and bumping around in the net. Some big fish even jumped up, twisting their bodies violently, and hitting the ground with a crisp "pa pa" sound.
"You should wait for me to come and pull the fishing net together. The river is rushing fast right now, and you can't pull such a large net by yourself."
Lin Mo raised his hand naturally and gently wiped the sweat from both sides of Su Mu's cheeks. When he touched his forehead, Su Mu did not move his body, but his head reacted quickly and tilted back to avoid it.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead stiffly and said dryly, "I...I thought there weren't many fish and I could pull them out."
Lin Mo didn't point it out, but nodded with a smile, "We've got quite a good catch today. We don't have to go to the village to buy fish for the next few days. Lao Gu and the others can use these fish for practice. We'll keep them in the water tank at home first."
Su Mu glanced at the fishing net and suggested, "There are more big fish. Why don't we release the small ones? Otherwise, the two wooden barrels won't be able to hold them all."
Lin Mo nodded. People here eat less fish, the water quality of this river is good, and the aquatic plants on both sides are lush. Although the fish in the river are not extremely abundant, there are still quite a few.
"I have a knife with me, and I'm right by the river, so there's plenty of water. Let's kill two right here and take the rest back to raise."
Lin Mo stretched out his hand pretending to touch something, but in fact he took out the old but sharp knife from the space, then he opened the fishing net, picked out two of the fish that were twisting the most vigorously, knocked them unconscious on the head and threw them aside.
"I'll take care of the two fish. You put the big ones in the bucket and throw the small ones into the river."
He took two empty buckets to the river, filled half of them with water, and brought them to the side of the net. He also picked up a relatively smooth stone, wiped it clean, and put it aside.
"Sit here and pick the fish. We'll go home after I finish cleaning them." After saying that, Lin Mo picked up the two fainted fish and went to the shore.
Su Mu looked at Lin Mo's back, then looked at the clean and smooth stone, and slowly sat down on it with red ears.
Obviously, what Lin Mo did were very simple little things, but for some reason, his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
Lin Mo deftly scraped off the scales and gills, then quickly gutted the fish with a sharp knife. He only kept the fish bladder and threw the rest into the river.
Finally, quickly scrape off the black mucous membrane inside the fish belly, then wash it and it's done.
After dealing with both fish, he pulled out a piece of long grass, passed it through the fish's gills and mouth, and lifted it up.
Turning around, I saw Su Mu sitting obediently on the rock. The fish had already been picked, and the little guy was skillfully arranging the fishing net.
The sun slowly sets, and a light orange color gradually appears on the horizon.
The cool breeze blew through Su Mu's long hair, and the hair danced in the air for a few times, and finally stuck softly to Su Mu's flushed face, and was pushed to the side by his shrug shoulders.
Looking down, Lin Mo couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and looked at Su Mu's calves exposed to the air with a burning gaze.
Unlike other parts of her body, Su Mu's calves were glowing white, with crystal clear water droplets dripping down along the texture of her delicate skin.
Lin Mo's mind suddenly recalled everything he saw outside the bathhouse that day, and his mouth suddenly became dry.
"It's getting late, let's go back."
Su Mu put away the fishing net and swiftly lowered his trouser legs. He looked up and saw Lin Mo still in a daze. He continued, "I'll carry the bucket. Can you hold the fishing net?"
He could barely carry a bucket of fish in one hand, but he couldn't carry a fishing net.
Lin Mo waved his hands hurriedly, "How can I, a grown man, let my husband do this? You mention this, and I'll take care of the rest."
Handing the two fish on his string to Su Mu, Lin Mo took the folded fishing net and tied it around his body. He held a wooden bucket in one hand, shook it deliberately, and grinned, "It's not heavy at all. I can still carry two more buckets."
Su Mu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and was amused by Lin Mo. His usually cold and hard facial features showed a smile, which immediately made Lin Mo's eyes stunned.
"You look beautiful when you smile. Smile more often in the future."
Hearing Lin Mo's voice, Su Mu blushed in embarrassment, but nodded slightly towards Lin Mo.
He seldom smiles, because he is ugly, and when he smiles he is always laughed at by others. But Lin Mo likes him to smile, and Lin Mo does not mind his ugliness.
"Let me help you carry a bucket of fish. It's inconvenient for you to walk like this. I'm strong enough to lift it."
Lin Mo was reluctant to let him work, and he was also reluctant to let Lin Mo do these things. Lin Mo had been sick before, and now he had finally recovered. He shouldn't have done such hard work.
"If I had a spare hand, I would help you carry those two fish. Silly boy, just follow me home. Your husband can carry such a small amount."
Lin Mo's ruffian voice sounded, and the word "husband" made Su Mu blush completely, and even the usually honest Dai Mu couldn't help but get angry.
"Don't say that, I...we're not in that kind of relationship!"
