Seeing that the topic was about to head towards the topic of "Is there anyone who would use the constraints of rules as an excuse to do bad things?", Bai Yu quickly coughed twice and brought the topic back to its original direction.
"Captain Chu, that's not the case. Dark Night Crow originally wanted to take me home to celebrate the New Year, but I don't think his family would agree, so he wanted to take me to the streets to stroll around and experience the New Year atmosphere."
After hearing these words, Lin Mo was immediately moved. He grabbed Bai Yu's hand again: "Xiao Bai, you are the only one standing on my side and protecting my innocence. It's not in vain that I made friends with you, unlike someone else."
After saying that, Lin Mo raised his chin and looked at Chu Zehuai, and added: "Brother, you have nothing to say this time."
Chu Zehuai didn't care about his brother at all. He looked at Bai Yu for a few seconds and whispered, "I don't disagree."
Bai Yu slowly typed out a question mark.
"I actually want to...well, I mean, if you want to go, I can take you there."
**
Bai Yu was dragged into the car heading to the Chu family's old house without knowing what was going on.
He still hasn't figured out how things turned out like this. He just didn't refuse in a firm attitude, so the other party seized the opportunity and took him directly into the car.
...
...
Bai Yu leaned back in the soft fur chair and looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window: "Won't your grandfather be angry?"
"No, he is actually a kind old man who likes to be lively and he is eager for me to bring more people back."
Originally there were many people in the house, but now some are dead and some have fled, leaving only four people, and it suddenly became much quieter.
The three of them could still meet frequently at the Investigation Bureau, but Grandpa Chu could only stay alone in the empty old house, planting vegetables and fishing, hoping that they would be free to come back.
"I see. By the way, isn't the gift I brought a little light?"
Bai Yu recalled a book about Dongzhou customs and habits that he had read before. It was necessary to bring gifts when visiting someone's home for the first time. As time was tight, he simply took the New Year gift package distributed by the Investigation Bureau.
The New Year gift package was also very rich, containing some shellfish and various nuts, but compared with the fine wine and ginseng brought by the other two, it did seem very shabby.
"No, you and my grandfather are not related by blood, so you can just bring some. It's okay if you don't bring anything. He doesn't care about this kind of thing."
Bai Yu and Chu Zehuai were sitting in the back chatting idly. Lin Mo, who was driving, saw them through the rearview mirror and felt a complex emotion in his heart.
It was clearly he who invited Xiaobai first, but Xiaobai ended up chatting enthusiastically with his brother.
Lin Mo sighed, knowing that if he interrupted now, his brother would only say "drive carefully", so he simply turned his eyes away from the rearview mirror and concentrated on the scenery in front of him.
As the number of pedestrians around became fewer and fewer, the roads became narrower, the woods became more numerous, and the recreational buildings became increasingly rare, the Chu family's old house gradually became visible.
prick--
The sound of brakes suddenly rang out, and the black SUV drifted and stopped in front of the old man at the door.
Bai Yu was caught off guard and was thrown directly onto Chu Zehuai by inertia. His teeth knocked a small red mark on the other's neck, and blood spread out. The sweet taste went from the tip of his teeth to the tip of his tongue. He licked it reflexively before he could react.
Chu Zehuai, who was about to help him up, froze for a moment.
"Um....I'm sorry."
Bai Yu blinked when he came to his senses. He rubbed his head and sat up.
"fine."
Chu Zehuai pursed his lips, he shifted his gaze away from the other person's lips, his golden-orange eyes cast a deadly gaze forward.
But Lin Mo didn't have time to care about his brother now. He jumped out as soon as he opened the car door: "Grandpa! I'm back! Are you waiting for me on purpose?"
The thin old man smiled and patted his shoulder: "No, how do you know I just caught a 20-pound fish?"
Lin Mo: .......
Chu Zehuai in the back seat also opened the car door, first reaching out to give his younger brother a popcorn, then took the gift down: "Grandpa, here, this is for you."
Grandpa Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "It's Xiao Huai, how did you know that I caught a 20-jin fish this morning?"
Chu Zehuai:.......
Bai Yu got off the car behind, briefly introduced himself, and then handed the things over.
Grandpa Chu's eyes lit up: "Oh, after so many years, I finally learned how to bring people back. No wonder I caught a 20-jin fish this morning. This is a good sign!"
Bai Yu: .......
**
The three people didn't even enter the Chu family's gate, but Grandpa Chu stuffed a fishing rod into each of them and forced them to go ice fishing in the lake together.
The ice drill drilled four manhole-cover-sized holes on the ice surface. The fishhook with bait drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and with a "plop", it fell into the cold lake water.
On the shore, four people brought small stools and sat in a row.
Lin Mo had a bored look on his face, with all his feathers drooping. Under the warm winter sun, his head nodded slowly, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second.
Chu Zehuai seemed to be seriously accompanying his grandfather fishing, but in fact he secretly glanced in the direction of Bai Yu several times.
Having said that, he and the other person had been together for quite some time, but it seemed to have been all about work and tasks. This was the first time they were able to be together quietly and peacefully without any work distractions.
Grandpa Chu divided six points of his attention on fishing, and four points on Chu Zehuai and the friends he brought back.
The old peregrine, who had experienced more than seventy years of wind and rain, still had sharp eyes and soon discovered his grandson's secretive little movements. He moved his stool quietly a little further away to make enough space for the two young men next to him.
Among the four, only Bai Yu was concentrating on fishing wholeheartedly.
[This is my first time experiencing this method. The various human activities are really novel and interesting. If I have time, I would like to experience them all.]
If you just want to eat the fish, you can just use a net. Fishing takes a long time and the results are not good.
But it is this small rod, hook and bait that seem to have some magical power, enough to make people sit on the shore for a whole day.
[There are more novel activities. I have been reading the books that Ji Yue sent me recently. They have opened my eyes. I just hate myself for not growing any vines. If you have time, take a look at them. Don't waste your flexible vines. I think these books will be very helpful and inspiring for your future activities.]
The system imitated the rustling sound of "pages of a book" turning in Bai Yu's mind, and then many illustrations flashed in Bai Yu's mind.
Various genders, various postures, various scenes, various props...There is nothing they can't do, only what they can't think of.
[I can't even do one plant like this, I have to do another one. 】
Bai Yu took a quick look and didn't see any pictures of individual people.
【You can learn first and then practice. 】
Seeing that Bai Yu was not interested, the system simply changed the subject.
[In addition to these, I have been browsing the human library recently and saw a lot of books on flower arrangement techniques, so I downloaded them for you. ]
[Flower arrangement? Is it just putting different flowers directly into the soil? ]
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows. He had no interest in other kinds of flowers. Not crushing them directly was already considered friendly and kind of him.
[No, even if it is the same kind of flowers, choosing the right location and container for flower arrangement can create a stunning effect. ]
The system recalled what it had just seen and explained to Bai Yu.
For plants like white iris, the flowers can be divided into two categories.
One type is flowers that have various functions, including but not limited to hypnosis, poisoning, hallucinations, swallowing, etc. These flowers are stimulated by energy and are an important means of attack.
The other type is the flowers that bloom during the flowering period. This type of flowers comes from the instinct of reproduction and has the functions of aphrodisiac and pollination.
But for Bai Yu, the latter kind of flowers are basically useless. They just bloom a few to soothe the restlessness during the flowering period. Over the years, they have not really played a role. They are just right for flower arrangement activities.
But we'll have to wait until May to talk about all this.
[We'll talk about flower arrangement later. I have to wait until the flowers bloom and then choose a good container.]
Bai Yu responded with a few words and then focused all his attention on his fishing rod.
[System, please help me find some information about fishing. I need it now.]
[Okay, I just found some of the best posts from the phishing guys, and I'll send them all to you. ]
After learning a lot of fishing skills, Bai Yu continued fishing with confidence... and then he didn't catch a single fish.
“This doesn’t make sense!”
A certain plant watched in shock as the other three caught fish one after another - even if they were just small fish.
It would have been fine if Grandpa Chu could catch some fish, after all, the old man had been fishing for more than 10 years and must be more familiar with this place. But even Lin Mo, who was bored to the point of falling asleep, and Chu Zehuai, who was not interested in this at all, caught two small fish.
[System, I seriously suspect there is something wrong with the fishing information you provided.]
Bai Yu looked at the various messy things he had caught, including shoes, plastics, leaves, drink bottles, etc., with a sad face.
With the experience of the angler, he caught everything except fish.
[If it's really not the case... let's just cheat. ]
This was the first time the system encountered a situation where the data it collected had a counterproductive effect, he said after a while of contemplation.
Bai Yu nodded to show that he understood. He said that the stool was uncomfortable and sat down on the shore, holding the fishing rod in one hand and supporting himself on the ground with the other hand.
In this posture, the palms supporting the ground silently stretched out several vines, which drilled into the ground and then into the cold lake water.
Hiss, the water is indeed a bit cold.
The vines that swam into the lake from underground were startled by the cold, but they didn't care about that. They quickly grabbed a carp weighing more than ten pounds and forced it onto Bai Yu's fishing hook.
Before the carp had time to wonder why the water plants in the lake were so strange today, it was hoisted out of the lake by a silver hook. The silver fish hook reflected a shining light in the sunlight, and a series of water droplets hit the ice surface with crackling sounds.
"Look! I caught a big fish!"
