Chapter 23 18 It is very dangerous to fish in the river
It was another sunny day, and Bai Le woke up in the morning and stretched comfortably. When little Snape saw Bai Le lazily sunbathing his belly in the sun, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he spoke in a good mood. mocked,
'I've never seen a little fox as lazy as you'
After hearing this, Bai Le was still lying sprawled on the bed basking in the sun, wagging his tail, as if saying to little Snape, "I'm just lazy, what can you do to me", the corners of Little Snape's mouth curled up more obviously , still holding the high-level potion, walked out of the house, and said to Bai Le in an indifferent tone, "If you continue to lie down, stay at home today and don't follow me."
After listening to little Snape's words, Bai Le immediately jumped off the bed, followed behind little Snape, and complained aggrievedly in his heart, why don't you just let me be lazy on the bed for a while?
Little Snape looked down and saw the angry look of the little fox following him, knowing that it must be scolding himself in his heart now.
"It's not nutritious to bask in the sun through the glass, it's better to go outside to bask in the sun," said little Snape expressionlessly.
Bai Le looked up at little Snape, wondering if this man was doing his own good?Thinking of this, Bai Le felt very happy in his heart. He ran and jolted beside little Snape, his tail flicking.
Little Snape was surprised why the little fox was so happy all of a sudden, but unconsciously he felt much more relaxed.
On the way to the park, when passing the turbid and polluted river, Bai Le suddenly had an idea, that river was polluted by the factory drainage not far away, so would the upper reaches of the river be clearer? Maybe there will be fish!Thinking of this, her heart immediately became alive, and she grabbed Snape's trousers with her little claws.Little Snape saw the little fox who stopped suddenly and looked at the river, and then saw the little fox grabbed his trousers, and pointed to the path along the river with his other little paw.
'You want to walk along that side of the river? ' Little Snape asked a little surprised.
Bai Le nodded, and looked at little Snape expectantly, as if to say is it okay?
Little Snape was a little helpless because of Bai Le's sudden curiosity, but he couldn't bear to hit Bai Le, so he walked over to the small river.
Little Snape seldom comes here, because the sewage in the river is turbid and even black, and the garbage everywhere on both sides of the river also exudes some pungent smell. Little Snape frowned as he looked at this corrupt, even Some depraved and ominous scenes, he walked to the outside of the little fox and protected the little fox inside.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Bai Le couldn't help being a little shocked, but not too scared, because the sun is very bright today, even such a devastated scene wouldn't be so scary under the sun.It's just that the pungent smell is really not that pleasant. Bai Le thought to himself, wouldn't the residents of this neighborhood or this town think of a way to deal with it? !
The two walked for about half an hour, and finally walked out of the drainage area of the factory to the other side of the small town.Little Snape noticed that the upper reaches of the river here were obviously different: clear river water glistening in the sun, fresh and humid air with a taste of sunshine, and occasionally birdsong could be heard in the sky.Little Snape felt that this place was the opposite of the area he lived in. It was alive rather than dead.
Bai Le was also pleasantly surprised to discover the changes in the small river, but her focus was really on, are there any fish in this river?
Then they continued to walk along the river for 20 minutes. The two of them reached the outskirts of the small town. There were no residential houses on both sides. Surrounded by tall trees and lush bushes, Bai Le was pleasantly surprised to find that the river had widened. Many, the river gradually deepened and the flow rate slowed down.Bai Le stopped in his tracks and looked down at the muddy river water. Bai Le noticed white bubbles popping up from time to time on the surface of the river.
'Great, there are fish! ! Bai Le felt that the circles of her eyes were red with joy, she grabbed the hem of little Snape's trousers, and pulled it back and forth vigorously to express her inner joy.
Little Snape looked at Bai Le's unusually excited behavior after observing the river surface, and then thought of Bai Le's usual character, a guess that he thought was very possible came to Little Snape's mind.
'Isn't it because you have traveled so far to catch fish? Little Snape asked Bai Le helplessly and speechlessly.
Bai Le, who didn't hear Snape's mocking tone, nodded her head vigorously, then she got into the nearby bushes, found a branch of moderate thickness, and broke off one end, exposing the pointed, sharp end. Bai Le tried to feel it with his small paws, and felt that it should be sharp enough, then he jumped on little Snape, and took out a small piece of bread that he hadn't eaten in the morning from Snape's pocket.Holding a slice of bread in one hand and a counting stick in the other, Bai Le strode confidently towards the river.
When little Snape saw Bai Le's series of actions, he found it quite amusing and comical. At the same time, he was a little curious about what this little fox's life was like before, how he climbed trees to dig out birds' eggs, and went down rivers to catch fish. The skills are so familiar, could it be that he was raised in a free range? (Professor, you are the truth)
Bai Le sprinkled the slices of bread into the water near the river, then held a branch in one hand and prepared to spear the fish.After waiting for only a few minutes, several crucian carp swam over. Bai Le picked up the biggest one and stabbed it down with quick eyes and hands.
'Caught it! Bai Le raised the branch in his hand, and at one end of the branch was a fat crucian carp that had been stabbed.
Little Snape, who had been observing Bai Le's movements, was amazed at Bai Le's quick and precise fish spearing action. On the other hand, he saw Bai Le's extremely excited expression, and the corners of his mouth were also greatly curved. And... and facing Bai Le Le Ming's heart beat a little faster when she had a bright face.
Bai Le, who didn't notice Little Snape's abnormality, used the same method to change the location and stabbed a fish. He thought in his heart that he would give one to himself and two for Sev's Bai Le. Get another one in the same way.
Little Snape, who planned to ignore his abnormal heartbeat, looked at Bai Le, who was seriously fishing beside him, and thought that the little guy was going to grill fish later, so he turned around and walked to the nearby bushes, planning to find some branches to build a fire .
There was a sound of splashing water, and Snape quickly dropped the branch, turned around and ran to the bank, and saw the little fox in the river with only its head out of the water, holding onto the moving animal with both hands and feet. The branch, while trying hard to make the branch stop.
'This idiot' Snape reprimanded him, but he took off his shoes and coat immediately, jumped into the river, and swam to the little fox.After a while, little Snape caught Bai Le who was being led back and forth by the extremely tenacious fish, and one person, one fox, and a fish that was stuck in a tree branch and was still struggling came ashore.
Little Snape put Bai Le aside, Bai Le put down the fish that was still struggling, and carefully looked at little Snape with guilty eyes.
'Are you an idiot?Fall into the water and still hold on to the fish?I was even being carried around by this fish!If it swims back into the sea, do you want to go with it?Are you really risking your life just to eat? Little Snape yelled angrily while building a fire with branches (because Bai Le always likes to bake bird eggs, so little Snape is used to carrying a box of matches in his pocket).
Hearing Snape's accusation, Bai Le felt very aggrieved. In fact, he didn't risk his life for food...it was for his food.When I was catching fish, I saw this very plump and energetic fish and thought I must catch it for Xifu to eat, but I didn't expect this fish to be so lively that it still had the strength to swim around after being stabbed. , Bai Le originally wanted to let go, but when he thought that he wanted to catch this fish for Sev to eat, he was a little unwilling to let go like this, that's why he was seen by little Snape later.
Seeing Bai Le's aggrieved look with his head down, little Snape regretted that he might have been a little harsh just now. He squatted down and put the coat he had taken off before on Bai Le's body.Bai Le raised her head and saw the wet little Snape. She felt very guilty in her heart. She jumped onto the little Snape's shoulder and put her little head on the little Snape's neck. The eye circles are a little red.
Feeling the little fox's depressed mood, little Snape raised his right hand and patted Bai Le's back lightly. He opened his mouth to say that I would be worried, but when the words came to his mouth, it turned into,
'Be careful in future'
The warm fire quickly dried up little Snape's clothes and Bai Le's fur. Bai Le used branches to roast the three fish he had caught on top of the fire. The hot air floated out.Bai Le sniffed, and felt the roundworm in his stomach growl a few times.
When the surface of the grilled fish was golden, the skin was crispy, and the fish oil was continuously dripping down on the fire, Bai Le felt that it was almost time for grilling, so he took out the most plump crucian carp and handed it to Xiao Si excitedly Nepe.
When little Snape saw Bai Le handing him the fish that she had caught desperately before, she felt a little pain for some reason,
'Is this for me? '
Bai Le nodded, and pushed Snape with his little paw, signaling him to try it quickly.
Little Snape stared at Bai Le with deep and complicated eyes for a while, and Bai Le, who was stared at a little at a loss, saw the light of burning flames reflected in those black eyes.Little Snape opened his mouth and took a bite of the well-grilled fish. The first thing he entered was the crispy fish skin overflowing with fish oil. A little sweetness.
Bai Le looked at little Snape with expectant eyes, wagged his tail, and kept asking how it was, whether it was delicious.
Looking at Bai Le's expectant eyes, little Snape wanted to tease the little fox, so he replied,
'Well enough'
When Bai Le heard little Snape's answer, his tail froze for a moment. What, it's "okay"? !How is it possible, my grilled fish is top-notch, even sister Fengjiu said it was delicious after tasting it.Bai Le grabbed his own fish and took a bite, no, it was obviously delicious.
Bai Le raised his head to look at little Snape, who was looking at him jokingly, obviously his previous answer was to tease him.
But Bai Le, who was being tricked, didn't get angry, because she saw in the warm bright yellow firelight, the little boy's obviously upturned mouth, happy eyes, and only her own reflection in those eyes.
