Encountering the Koi

Chapter 17

In June, the lotus fragrance fills the lake, and the red clothes and green fans reflect the clear waves.

One morning, when Shen Yingqiu just woke up, Meng Qingsheng came to him early in the morning.

"Qiuzi, the weather is fine today. It's perfect for enjoying the lotus and fishing in the lake. Let's go."

Shen Yingqiu stared at Meng Qingsheng who was in a hurry, smiled and said: "I just got up and haven't eaten, why are you in such a hurry?"

Meng Qingsheng said: "Go early to get a seat, you don't know, there are so many people enjoying lotus fishing, if you go late, there will be no room."

"Okay, then wait for me." Shen Yingqiu said, picking up the washbasin: "I'm going to wash my face."

When he came back from washing his face, he glanced at Shui Qianmo lying on the bed from the corner of his eyes, and gave him a wink, which means you are still asleep, and I will go to appreciate the lotus later, do you want to go together?

Shui Qianmo waved his hands, turned over and continued to sleep.

Shen Yingqiu walked to the bed and whispered: "Are you really not going?"

Shui Qianmo glanced at him, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Shen Yingqiu curled her lips unhappily, and muttered: "I don't want to drag you, I thought I would take you there, and you can go back to your hometown by the way." After a while, she looked at him: "Then I'm leaving, I'll be back at night .”

Hearing this, Shui Qianmo raised her eyebrows slightly, then stretched out her hand to hold Shen Yingqiu's hand, not letting him go.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yingqiu laughed in her heart, thought childishly, and said: "Let go, Qingsheng is waiting for me."

Shui Qianmo is not loose.

Shen Yingqiu was speechless, and said: "Don't play tricks, let go, or go with me."

Shui Qianmo ignored.

Shen Yingqiu frowned.

Meng Qingsheng, who was outside the room, couldn't help being curious when he heard the whispering voices in the room. He poked his head out and asked, "Qiuzi, who are you talking to?"

Shen Yingqiu was taken aback, and hurriedly shook off Shui Qianmo's hand and said, "I'm talking to myself."

Talk to yourself?Meng Qingsheng blushed and said, "Let's go."

"En." Shen Yingqiu responded, without bothering to deal with the monster on the bed, and went out with Meng Qingsheng directly.

The burnout on the face of the monster on the bed faded away and turned livid.

The two talked to Shen's mother and left the house.

The carriage bumped all the way, and it stopped by Mochou Lake not long after. Meng Qingsheng got out of the carriage, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, but he saw a green gauze robe, long black hair, slightly brown eyes, and a sickly white face , Shen Yingqiu was supported by Qing Sheng to get out of the car and looked at the lake, raised her feet and tried to make her walk as natural as possible.

There were indeed quite a few people playing by the lake, some pedestrians were already looking at them, Shen Yingqiu felt a little unnatural.

"Qiuzi, you are so pretty." Meng Qingsheng said with a smile.

Shen Yingqiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Just now when you got out of the car, many people on the shore of the lake looked at you."

Shen Yingqiu's expression froze, she lowered her head and said, "They don't see me as pretty, but they see me as a disabled person..."

Meng Qingsheng patted him on the shoulder: "Qiuzi, you have to be more confident, you are just good-looking, if you want to know this way, don't care how others look at you, you are the protagonist at this time, you know?"

With these words, Shen Yingqiu couldn't help but look at Meng Qingsheng gratefully.

Meng Qingsheng chuckled: "Am I right?"

"En." Shen Yingqiu responded and nodded.

Standing by the edge of Mochou Lake, looking at the lake, under the shade of the trees, the summer wind blows, driving away the summer heat, just watching quietly like this, Shen Yingqiu feels relieved.

Suddenly, for no reason, he thought of the monster at home.

This stupid monster is too lazy, such a good day, such a beautiful scene, he didn't come.

I also thought, if Qian Mo is willing to show up in front of Qing Sheng, wouldn't it be more pleasant for the three of us to swim in the lake and enjoy the lotus together?

But after thinking about it, it's better for that monster not to show up. Qing Sheng is timid, and I'm afraid I'll have to scare him...

The flowers bloomed with the red trees and the warblers crowed, and the egrets flew in the grass Changping Lake.

The wind and the sun are fine and the people are happy, and the sunset and the drums return with a few boats.

Looking at the beautiful scenery of Mochou Lake, both Shen Yingqiu and Meng Qingsheng sighed again and again, and Meng Qingsheng couldn't help but chant poems.

Looking at the brightly blooming lotus in the lake, Meng Qingsheng said: "Qiuzi, how about we take a boat to enjoy the lotus?"

Shen Yingqiu smiled and nodded.

"The boat is coming, let's get on board." Meng Qingsheng helped Shen Yingqiu onto the boat.

Not long after, the boat sailed to the lake.

The lotus in the lake is blooming brightly, and there are some flower bones that have not yet grown up between the green leaves. It looks like it will bloom in full bloom in a few days.

The wind blew, and there was a burst of fragrance.

It's been a long time since Shen Yingqiu came out to play like this, and for a while, the joy was evident.

"Qingsheng, look, the flowers are blooming so beautifully; and the faint fragrance of flowers is really pleasant."

After Shen Yingqiu finished speaking, she looked at Meng Qingsheng with a smile.

It never occurred to him that Meng Qingsheng was asking the boy to help him with the fishing rod, ready to go fishing.

Shen Yingqiu's expression froze, this Qingsheng, it's a promise to enjoy lotus.

"Qiuzi, sit down. Let's go fishing on the boat. The fish in the lake are big and plentiful." Meng Qingsheng said with a smile: "Today, I have to catch a lot of him before going home."

Shen Yingqiu frowned, Yu, Qianmo's kind.

He thought silently, looked at Meng Qingsheng for a while, and saw that he had started fishing, and he looked very happy. In the past, although he didn't like fish or fishing, he would have fun with him, but today But how can not be happy.

Just as he was thinking wildly, he saw Meng Qingsheng caught a fish, and shouted happily: "Look, Qiu Zi, what a fat koi."

Koi? !

Shen Yingqiu exploded immediately: "Let it go!" She gave a low voice, although the volume was not loud, but it still surprised Meng Qingsheng, stopped her voice, and stared at him blankly.

Shen Yingqiu noticed that her tone was a bit aggressive, she blinked her eyes, and hurriedly said carelessly: "I'm just hearing, there is a saying that carps are released, and koi are not representative of auspicious things, if you eat them, it may be unlucky."

Hearing this, Meng Qingsheng smiled: "There is no taboo, just eat it, I have eaten it before, the taste is not bad."

"what?"

These words made Shen Yingqiu's mouth wide open, thinking of Shui Qianmo being eaten by someone, she couldn't help frowning and staring at him blankly.

Meng Qingsheng continued: "However, I usually catch koi for viewing at home. This koi looks good, so it's perfect for viewing."

"Oh."

Shen Yingqiu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Meng Qingsheng looked at him and asked, "Look at you, it's just a fish, it makes you nervous."

"...I, I'm not..." Shen Yingqiu scratched her head and said in a little embarrassment, "I'm not afraid that eating koi will cause harm."

Meng Qingsheng couldn't help laughing when he saw his faltering, thinking, Qiuzi was just too soft-hearted.

He said: "Sit quickly, or your legs and feet will hurt." After a pause, he hurriedly said: "Sit inside the boat."

Ever since Shen Yingqiu fell into the lake that time, he now has lingering fears, so nothing can go wrong.

Shen Yingqiu smiled silly, the boy moved the chair and put it in the middle of the boat, he thanked him and sat on the chair.

Meng Qingsheng was fishing, Shen Yingqiu was enjoying the scenery, and from time to time the two of them chatted one after another.

"Qiuzi, let's have lunch here, how about grilled fish?" Meng Qingsheng said, "These fish are fresh, they must be delicious when grilled."

Shen Yingqiu's heart sank, she wanted to eat fish, Qianmo's kind.

So, can't eat.

After a while, the boat docked, and Meng Qingsheng really caught a lot of fish. The boy helped to pick up materials to make a fire, disemboweled the fish, and cleaned it.

"Today, you should try this grilled fresh fish." Meng Qingsheng said.

Shen Yingqiu stared at the disemboweled fish, her heart tightened.

Many people on the shore are fishing, and they also eat grilled fish. Shen Yingqiu feels that it is pitiful to be a fish.

Meng Qingsheng turned the twig in his hand intently, and after a while, the fish on the twig released a burst of fragrance.

"Is it fragrant?" Meng Qingsheng sniffed and smelled it vigorously.

Shen Yingqiu listened to him and watched the fish gradually cook, but couldn't say anything, so she could only look at Meng Qingsheng stupidly.

Meng Qingsheng didn't get a response, so she turned her head and saw Shen Yingqiu's foolish look, holding up the freshly grilled fish to the tip of his nose, leaning closer to him and asking, "Is it delicious?"

Shen Yingqiu came back to her senses, sniffed, nodded and said: "Scent."

Meng Qingsheng laughed, tore a piece with his hands, and handed it to Shen Yingqiu's mouth: "Taste how it tastes."

Shen Yingqiu kept her mouth shut, extremely conflicted in her heart, I'm sorry Qianmo if you eat, I'm sorry Qingsheng if you don't eat, she looked down at the cooked fish next to her mouth, wanted to open her mouth, but didn't want to.

"I said you open your mouth." Meng Qingsheng said with a smile.

Shen Yingqiu was in a dilemma, she pursed her lips, but still opened her mouth, just when the delicious fish was about to enter her mouth, suddenly a gust of wind blew up.

In an instant, the sky became dark, with flying sand and rocks, strong wind howling, overwhelming and frightening, and then the heavy rain poured down violently and urgently.

The wind was heavy and the rain was so fast that people couldn't open their eyes and couldn't make a sound. Shen Yingqiu only felt that she was about to be blown into the air.

Subconsciously, he wanted to grab something, and within reach, he grabbed a strong arm. Before he could react, his whole body was hugged horizontally, and then the sound of wind and rain whistling past his ears.

After a while, when everything was quiet, he opened his eyes to see clearly that it was Shui Qianmo who was hugging him.

Shen Yingqiu just wanted to call him happily, but seeing his frighteningly dark face, she stopped talking.

Shui Qianmo kept a dark face and didn't speak, just hugged Shen Yingqiu and walked among the green mountains and green waters. Along the way, there were high mountains, streams, green trees and wild flowers. Shen Yingqiu was hugged by him, feeling his coldness. The breath, the atmosphere dare not breathe.

Not without fear.

You should know that he is a demon. It is generally recorded in the books that when a demon gets angry, it is very scary, and he might even risk his life.

Closing her eyes and sniffing her nose, Shen Yingqiu was about to speak, but she heard Shui Qianmo say coldly: "Don't talk."

Shen Yingqiu immediately closed her upper lip, trembling slightly, not daring to speak.

Not long after, Shui Qianmo stopped under a willow tree by a lake, and gently placed Shen Yingqiu on the ground.

Shen Yingqiu adjusted her breathing, her eyes wandered, and she timidly stood beside Shui Qianmo.

There was silence.

flustered?Well, yes, not only flustered, but also scared.

Shen Yingqiu wondered in her heart, wouldn't this monster want to kill people to silence her?
