Jing Li was agile and one hit was not enough to quell his anger. He swung his tail quickly and slapped Chen Yanan several times in a row.
The water he threw splashed onto Chen Yan'an's face. The latter couldn't open his eyes at all, and couldn't see what hit him. He only heard a splash, and when he came to his senses, the water in front of him had returned to calm, and there was no shadow in sight.
"Did you see that? What was that just now—!"
The place on his face where he was hit was still burning with pain. Chen Yan'an was terrified and trembling with fear. Qin Zhao pressed his eyebrows helplessly and stretched out his hand to him: "Come up first."
Chen Yanan didn't dare to stay in the water. He quickly grabbed Qin Zhao's hand and rolled to the shore, hiding his short and fat body behind Qin Zhao. "Did you see it clearly just now? What the hell was that thing?!"
"No." Qin Zhao glanced at the bright red fish tail that flashed by the reef and lied without changing his expression, "I was scared and didn't see anything."
Chen Yanan looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.
Does this person look scared at all???
But he couldn't care less about these things now. Chen Yan'an was shaking wetly: "No, it can't be a water ghost. I heard that there is a kind of water ghost that can turn into a beautiful woman and lure people into the water, and they can never get out. Will I be targeted by a water ghost?" ㊣ωWW.メ伍2⓪メＳ.С○м҈
Qin Zhao: "..."
Chen Yanan didn't notice his expression suddenly becoming indescribable, and collapsed: "You have copied Buddhist scriptures before, please teach me, what should I do now!"
"..." Qin Zhao forcibly pulled away Chen Yan'an's hand that was holding his arm and said calmly, "Go home and fast for seven days, and recite scriptures for an hour every morning. Go."
"Will...will this work?" Chen Yan'an was skeptical. Seeing the other party's determined expression, he said, "I believe you this time, but please don't try to fool me. If I get caught by a water ghost, you'll be the first one to be caught!"
He finished speaking tremblingly and ran away in a hurry.
Qin Zhao stood by the water in silence for a moment before he said, "Everyone's gone, why aren't you coming out yet?"
The little koi swam out from behind the reef.
He floated on the water, his tail raised high, looking up at Qin Zhao.
A smile appeared on Qin Zhao's lips: "Why, are you still waiting for me to praise you?"
Jing Li wagged his tail proudly.
He originally didn't want to do this, but who made that person speak so nastyly? Qin Zhao was just too good-tempered and didn't get angry at all, which was why he was bullied by these people.
Qin Zhao could endure it, but he was unwilling to.
Qin Zhao bent down and put his hand into the water. The little koi rubbed his fingers obediently.
"He may be small, but he has a big temper." Qin Zhao touched his head and whispered, "Thank you."
You're welcome.
Jing Li shook his fin at him.
"It's just..." Qin Zhao paused, as if hesitating for a moment, before saying, "Just scare him, but don't tease him again next time."
Jing Li stopped moving, feeling somewhat unhappy.
If I don't fight back, am I going to let that guy bully me?
Qin Zhao didn't explain any further. He put the wooden barrel into the water and let the little koi swim in.
He walked back holding the little koi.
"Yan'an is not a bad person. There are just some misunderstandings between him and me." Qin Zhao said slowly on the way back.
Jing Li snorted in his heart, sank to the bottom of the water with his back to Qin Zhao, and his tail swayed unhappily.
"Listen to me," Qin Zhao said. "Three years ago, I was stranded here, and it was Chen Yan'an who rescued me from the river. That young man saved my life."
Jing Li was stunned.
Qin Zhao: "At that time, I was seriously ill and bedridden. I was fortunate to have the Chen family take me in and take care of me. They later rented their old house to me, allowing me to stay in the village."
So that's how it is.
But why now...
"They're doing a great deed by taking in a stranger of unknown origin," Qin Zhao said. "Good deeds can last only a short time, but not forever. Ultimately, I was wrong in this matter."
