Chapter 196 The unlucky brother and sister, special fishing bait and red croaker
But after some hard work, the fish still ran away. Looking at the empty fishing rod, Xiao Qi wanted to cry but had no tears.
Xiao Lin patted her brother's shoulder with a concerned look on his face, she understood.
……
I don’t know what happened, but all morning, the two brothers Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin kept repeating the process of fish being hooked and then running away. They spent a lot of money on bait and were exhausted, but in the end, there was no fish at all. Catch it.
Looking at the fish in the other mermaid buckets, the two brothers and sisters turned dark and silently squatted aside to draw circles.
What's going on?
Are these fish playing tricks on them?
It's too much!
Why didn't they catch any fish? !
……
"Okay, don't be angry."
Xiao Xiao walked over and patted the two brothers and sisters on the head.
“I’ll fish somewhere else this afternoon.”
"Pfft~ What's your expression?"
Seeing the brother and sister turning around, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile.
"We are so sad and angry!"
"Those fish are so bad!"
"You are all going to eat them, why don't you allow them to spoil?"
"But..."
Xiao Lin puffed up his cheeks.
"Then if they can, they won't eat our bait."
"This behavior of running away after eating is so cunning!"
Xiao Qi was still aggrieved.
"That's right!"
Xiao Lin nodded fiercely.
……
"Well, brother, are there any transparent fish here?"
Xiao Lin asked hesitantly.
"Transparent fish? What's wrong?"
"Whether it was the fish I caught or the fish caught by Xiaoqi just now, I noticed that there was nothing on the hook, but there was a lot of force coming from the water."
"Is there really nothing?"
"There are no fish or aquatic plants or anything?"
Xiao Xiao confirmed.
"Hmm~"
Xiao Lin was a little hesitant.
"The sun must be too big and you are dazzled."
Xiao Qi didn't take it seriously.
How could there be nothing on the hook? Who would eat the bait? Who is competing with him?
"Yeah, too."
Xiao Lin thought it right and stopped worrying.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoqi, Xiaolin, it's time to eat."
"Hey, here we come."
As soon as they heard that it was time to eat, the two brothers and sisters immediately regained their strength and ran over happily.
Xiao Xiao looked at the calm water of the stream thoughtfully.
"Xiaoxiao?"
"Brother?"
"Coming."
……
What we had for lunch was the fish caught by a few people.
The three brothers and sisters of the Xiao family were satisfied with the fish soup and grilled fish. Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin were even more happy, and even the sullenness before had disappeared.
……
"Okay, we must catch fish this afternoon!"
"Yeah."
"Let's go!"
Looking at the two brothers and sisters who were full of fighting spirit, Xiao Xiao and several elderly people couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's go, we old guys can't lose to the young people."
"That's right, we are veterans."
"Haha."
……
Xiao Xiao specially chose a location close to Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin in the afternoon.
If you have any doubts, confirm it.
He could always sense something here.
Now that Feifei and Taotie are around him, some weaker demonic spirits can easily be ignored by him unless he senses them carefully.
In particular, water has the function of concealing breath.
Monsters in the water are more difficult to detect.
Moreover, he was also a little strange, why did Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin encounter this situation?
Do monsters also know how to pick on novice fishermen to bully?
..."Hey, Xiaolin, your bait seems different from the one I gave you?"
Xiao Xiao took Xiao Lin's bait box with some strangeness.
"Hey, this is my specially processed Xiaolin bait."
"This is also a specially processed unicorn bait."
Xiao Qi also came over, holding his own bait box and showing it to Xiao Xiao with a proud look on his face.
"What did you add?"
Xiao Xiao took out a fish bait and smelled it. It had a sweet and refreshing smell. Is this mint?
Sure enough, "I added mint flavor and sugar." Xiao Lin was the first to reveal the secret.
"I added mung bean powder and sugar."
Xiao Qi said immediately.
Xiao Xiao was a little dumbfounded. Are you making pastries?
Even if additives are added, most people add shrimp powder and the like. How can anyone add sugar like you do?
However, the suspicion in his heart became more and more certain.
No wonder it was only the brother and sister who suffered.
"Can you give me one of your baits?"
"Okay."
"Brother, you can take whatever you want."
"You can also try my fishing bait."
"Oh, I think our bait is pretty good."
Xiao Lin muttered, looking at Xiao Xiao's bait and then at his own bait.
"Didn't you catch any fish?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and pointed out the "cruel" fact.
“Yeah, it’s not that I didn’t catch anything, it’s that they all ran away!”
Xiao Lin was furious.
"The result is not the same?"
"Uh..."
Xiao Linyan was stunned.
"How about we use brother's bait?"
Xiao Qi suggested that he really wanted to catch a fish by himself and avoid the shame of the morning.
"...Hmm." Without hesitation, Xiao Lin decisively abandoned his bait.
No matter what, a good bait is a bait that catches fish!
……
Xiao Xiao hung the bait he got from Xiao Lin on the fishhook.
"Poof~"
The fishhook enters the water.
At first, there was no movement at all.
Xiao Xiao was not in a hurry. He sat on the chair and closed his eyes slightly.
The gentle breeze blew from the treetops, swept across the water, and then brushed against his cheeks, eliminating the dryness, and Xiao Xiao felt completely comfortable.
Your breath is filled with the faint fragrance of vegetation and the cool smell of water vapor.
……
Are you here?
Xiao Xiao slowly opened his eyes. As he felt carefully, he saw that there was indeed a looming evil spirit gradually approaching.
A faint golden glow appeared in his eyes, and the situation near the fishhook in the water was clearly visible.
This is... Red Rooster?
……
It looks like a fish with a human face.
Its sound is like a mandarin duck.
……
The red croaker is quite large, with a circle of fins around its gills. The color is clear and quite beautiful.
But when Xiao Xiao saw its human face, he couldn't help but hold his forehead a little.
It was a beautiful face, yes, but it looked a bit weird on a fish's body.
And, did this monster eat too much? Looks a little chubby?
This is also a so-called mermaid, right?
No, no, Xiao Xiao felt that it was better not to ruin the beautiful memories of his childhood.
The mermaid princess in the fairy tale is definitely much cuter than this monster.
……
The red turtle didn't know Xiao Xiao's inner struggle, and happily swam towards the bait on Xiao Xiao's hook, his big tail swaying gracefully behind him.
"Ah woo~"
The red turtle swallowed the bait on the fishhook in one gulp.
The slightly sweet taste made him narrow his eyes in satisfaction.
tasty.
Today, I was accidentally attracted by this smell that I had never smelled before. After hesitating for a while, Chiguo took a tentative bite and was out of control.
And it’s fun to play tug-of-war with humans every time.
Especially when I saw the expressions on the two humans' faces that were gnashing their teeth but helpless.
It was so much fun.
Chiqu feels that today is a really pleasant day~
