Chapter 321: Cherish the Fish
After Xu Yuan finished his lunch, he cleaned and marinated the bamboo rat and then went back to his room to rest.
Half asleep and half awake, I felt the place next to me sink a little, and a pair of large hands came over me.
Xuyuan suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the arm around his neck.
A chuckle sounded in my ears, "Ayuan, why are you so anxious?" The tone was low and contained a hint of teasing.
Gu Qinghan raised his hand to tidy up Xu Yuan's hair that was covering his face, leaned over and kissed Xu Yuan's cheek, then buried his head in Xu Yuan's neck.
I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really miss you.
"How did you get here, in the daytime?" Xu Yuan pushed his head buried in his neck and asked softly.
"We are staying in the county town now. When the time comes, we will go back to the village. They are all sleeping now. There is nothing wrong. They will come naturally."
"By the way, Ayuan, Junyong said he felt dizzy when he woke up. Did it have any effect on him?"
Gu Qinghan turned his head to look at Xu Yuan, took Xu Yuan's hand, and clasped their fingers tightly.
"No, just let him take it easy."
Hearing that there was no impact, Gu Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief, "
Ah Yuan, you take a nap, I will leave in a while. "
"I don't want to sleep anymore. I want to get up." Xu Yuan broke free from Gu Qinghan's hand and sat up.
Gu Qinghan then sat up, grabbed Xu Yuan's hand, and pulled Xu Yuan, who was about to get up, to sit down on the edge of the bed.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yuan turned his head to glance at Gu Qinghan and asked in confusion.
"I'll help you."
Gu Qinghan stroked Xuyuan’s long hair with his big hands, combed her hair with his slender fingers, and tied it up.
Xu Yuan was a little surprised, "You also know this skill?"
"It's my first time too, Ayuan. Don't be angry if it doesn't look good."
Gu Qinghan paused, hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth.
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and turned his head away, "Then do it, I'm not angry."
My skills aren't that great, I just simply tied my hair into a bun and then tied it up with a cloth strip.
After getting permission, Gu Qinghan curled his lips and smiled softly, and gently played with Xu Yuan's hair with his big hands.
"Okay. Ayuan, take a look."
Gu Qinghan took the bronze mirror from the side, handed it to Xuyuan, and said with anticipation.
Xuyuan looked left, right, and up and down.
Quite firm, not loose.
She had a braid on both sides of her head to make it fluffy, and all her hair at the back was pulled up and tied with a cloth strip.
It was much better looking than what he had done. Xu Yuan touched his head and exclaimed: "Gu Qinghan, you are so good."
"As long as you're satisfied."
Seeing Xu Yuan’s satisfied look, Gu Qinghan was also happy in his heart. His hand unconsciously touched Xu Yuan’s earlobe and pinched it.
"Ayuan, has anything happened in the village recently?"
Xu Yuan patted Gu Qinghan's hand that was pinching his earlobe and said, "I'm fine. Nothing serious happened."
"Gu Qinghan, wait a moment, I'll get you something."
Without waiting for Gu Qinghan's reply, Xu Yuan stood up and walked out quietly.
Gu Qinghan looked around the room and found that the books that had been piled beside the bed were no longer there.
"Heh, be on guard against me." Gu Qinghan muttered, then stood up, dusted the quilt and folded it.
After a while, Xu Yuan pushed the door open with two bamboo tubes and a bowl of warm water and placed them on the table.
"Here's some water, and take this with you when you leave."
Gu Qinghan picked up the bowl and took a sip of water, then laughed and said, "Are you so anxious to get me out?"
"How could I chase you away? You have come here uninvited so many times, how could I ever chase you away?" Xu Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Then he teased, "Besides, do you dare to go out?"
Gu Qinghan pursed his lips. He really didn't dare. After all, he didn't want people to gossip about his wish.
"Okay, Ayuan, I'll go first. Thank you for the things." Gu Qinghan hugged Xuyuan and touched the head of the Wishing King, feeling a little reluctant.
"Sister, are you awake?"
Many loud voices came from outside the door.
Xu Yuan gently pushed Gu Qinghan away and shouted to the door, "Get up, I'll pack up and come out."
"Okay, big sister, hurry up." Many people replied loudly.
"Ayuan, what are you going to do?" Gu Qinghan lowered his head and whispered in Xuyuan's ear.
Xu Yuan felt something itchy near his ear and turned Gu Qinghan's head away, "Don't talk near my ear, it's itchy."
"Then I should pay attention next time?" Gu Qinghan chuckled.
"Okay, I won't say any more to you, let's go fishing."
Xu Yuan quietly opened the door of the room a crack, and seeing that there was no one outside, he quickly walked out of the room, turned around, waved to Gu Qinghan, and then closed the door.
Gu Qinghan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, then took out a small package from his arms, placed it on the cabinet beside Xu Yuan's bed, picked up the two bamboo tubes on the table, and disappeared in the room in an instant.
……
"Sister, sister, we are ready and waiting for you." Manyu was holding a small fishing net, carrying a small wooden bucket in his hand, wearing a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and had rolled up his trouser legs in advance. He said excitedly.
Guozi and Xu Zhi were dressed in the same way.
"Well, it is indeed complete. Let's go."
Xu Yuan took a hoe and a fishing rod and took a few people to a small ditch west of the village.
……
"Yuan girl, why don't you go to the big river east of the village? Why are you going to the west of the village? The fish in the ditch over there are not big." On the way, they met a villager who saw Xuyuan walking in front of them with a bucket and a fishing rod. He knew what she was going to do and kindly reminded her.
"Uncle, we just want to go fishing for small fish." Xuanyu smiled sweetly at the uncle and replied.
"Ah? You have big fish instead of small ones?"
The uncle couldn't help but be stunned. It was a really strange behavior.
Xu Yuan explained: "Uncle, we just want to try another river. It doesn't matter if the fish are big or not."
After hearing Xu Yuan's explanation, the uncle said no more. He said hello to Xu Yuan and the others and left.
……
West of the village
The river is clear and shallow, with shade from trees and lush weeds.
No one has been here for a while, and small fish are swimming happily on the water surface.
Just like this, the harvest was quite rich.
"Sister, this fish is so small, why don't you let it go?"
Xu Zhi asked uncertainly when he saw the three or four small fish the size of his little finger caught in the fishing net.
In my opinion, this is no longer a small fish, it is a fish fry.
A small fish should be the size of your palm.
Xu Yuan glanced at it and nodded, "It's best to have one of this size. We want to get some dried fish as a snack."
"Snacks?"
When many people heard this, their eyes lit up and they fished faster, without any mercy on the "fish", and put the fish into the wooden barrels as soon as they caught them.
