At the bottom of the lake, Luo Tong saw a black thing about a foot in diameter. If it weren't for the fact that a big fish had just passed by and lifted the sediment at the bottom of the lake, Luo Tong would not have seen this.

After all, it was not very clear to see on the shore, Luo Tong subconsciously wanted to reach out and fish, but he couldn't touch it for a long time with his arm down, and Luo Tong knew that this small lake was far deeper than what he saw.

"What are you doing?" Sheng Qiwu watched Luo Tong's arm flung in the lake for a long time, the look of disappointment on his face was obvious, and he couldn't help asking.

"There's something about a foot at the bottom of the lake, and I wanted to see if I could get it out, but the water was too deep to reach. ”

Luo Tong shook the water droplets on his hand, a little regretful. Sheng Qiwu came over and took a look, it was not far from the shore, and the bottom of the lake was a little muddy, I don't know how Luo Tong could see this.

He took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and prepared to go into the water. Luo Tong grabbed him: "Do you know how to swim?" Why don't we go back and ask Zhuoma to see if she has any nets or something like that, and see that the lake is still very deep." ”

Sheng Qiwu touched her hair: "Don't worry, I used to be in the swimming team, so it's okay to have such a little depth." ”

He warmed up a few times on the spot and slowly walked into the water. The lake water is still a little cool, and Sheng Qiwu shivered unconsciously.

Luo Tong looked frightened on it, "Come back, let's go back and think of a way." ”

Sheng Qiwu waved his hand at her, this shore is actually not deep, the height is only about his chest, and after a few steps forward, Sheng Qiwu's feet stepped on a hard shell.

That's it, Sheng Qiwu was overjoyed, took a deep breath, and got into the lake. Luo Tong stood on the shore, nervously clenching his hands into fists, his eyes unblinking at the place where Sheng Qiwu had just disappeared.

Ten seconds later, Sheng Qiwu stood up from the lake, still holding a black thing in both hands, which looked like a river mussel. Luo Tong didn't have the heart to see what he had fished up, so he hurriedly asked him to come up.

Sheng Qiwu shook the drops of water in his hair, and walked towards the shore with that thing in his arms. When he approached, Luo Tong hurriedly reached out to pull him, and as soon as he got his hand, he found that Sheng Qiwu's hand was cold.

This made Luo Tong's heart feel distressed, "I asked you to come back a long time ago, but you didn't listen, let's go back, hurry up and change our clothes, so as not to catch a cold later." ”

Sheng Qiwu was very happy in his heart, Luo Tong was caring about him.

"It's okay, if we really use a net to come and fish, we won't be able to catch it, a large part of this thing is still buried in the mud, and I took a long time to dig it out. ”

Sheng Qiwu was talking and wearing shoes and socks. Luo Tong stood aside with the river mussel he had fished back, watching her movements with a good eye.

Sheng Qiwu smiled bitterly: "I'm really fine, this lake is very comfortable...... Ahh

Before he finished speaking, Sheng Qiwu sneezed, and Luo Tong looked at him with his eyebrows twisted, his face full of disapproval. Sheng Qiwu touched his nose and sped up the movements of his hands.

Sheng Qiwu, who returned to the yurt, was driven back by Luo Tong to change into clean clothes, which was also very uncomfortable in wet clothes. Luo Tong put the river mussels caught by Sheng Qiwu into a wooden basin and went to find Zhuoma's aunt by himself.

The weather in the evening is still a little cool, after hearing about Luo Tong's intention, Zhuoma's Ama made a bowl of hot butter tea, drinking some hot tea can effectively remove the cold in the body.

Sure enough, a bowl of steaming butter tea went down, and Sheng Qiwu felt refreshed. Luo Tong, who settled down, went to see the river mussels he fished back, Sheng Qiwu raised his eyebrows on the spot, and followed Luo Tong's footsteps unhurriedly.

When Luo Tong came back, he casually put the mussel in a large wooden basin in the yurt room, and Zhuoma added a lot of water to the wooden basin, while she and Danzhu squatted in front of the wooden basin with their heads touched.

Uncle Dorjee and Danzhu had already returned from grazing, and as soon as Danzhu came back, he saw the big river mussel brought back by Luo Tong. Children have never seen this thing, so they are curious.

Luo Tong also walked over and squatted down, looking at the river mussel carefully. The whole mussel is like a triangle, the color is black, and the shell is large and flat, about a foot square.

Seeing Luo Tong coming, Danzhu blinked his eyes: "Sister Tongtong, what is this?"

Luo Tong smiled: "This is a river mussel, Brother Sheng just fished it from the small lake, this river mussel is really big, I have never seen such a big river mussel." ”

"River mussels?" Danzhu wondered, "What is this?

Dolma knocked on his head: "Can you think of anything else in your head besides food?"

Danzhu touched her head embarrassedly and smiled out with a mouthful of white teeth. He was subconsciously questioning, and he really didn't mean anything else.

Luo Tong also thinks this kid is very funny, "River mussels are naturally edible, steamed and braised are fine." ”

"Sister, how can there be a circle of lines on the shell of this river mussel, it looks like a ...... It's like ......"

Danzhu touched his head, he couldn't say what he wanted to say for a while, and couldn't help blushing, "It's like the rings of a tree!"

In the end, when he finally said what he wanted to say, the child couldn't help but feel a little shy.

Sheng Qiwu walked over and patted Danzhu on the shoulder, and praised: "That's right, Danzhu is so smart, the age of this mussel is to look at the lines on its mussel shell, a circle is one year old, Danzhu, how old is this mussel?"

The boy was praised by the adults, and his eyebrows were overjoyed, and he immediately looked down at the river mussels in the wooden basin, stretched out his fingers, and counted the lines carefully.

"Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, ah, is this mussel twelve? older than my age. ”

The child screamed as if he had discovered a new world, Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu glanced at each other, and a smile spread to the corners of their mouths.

The corners of Zhuoma's mouth, who was squatting across from them, twitched, do you want to be so affectionate? No wonder Song Xiaoxiao always said that she could eat dog food all the time with them.

"Yes, this river mussel is twelve years old, so do you want to eat this river mussel?" asked Zhuoma without looking at the two people opposite, looking at Danzhu.

Danzhu pursed her lips, "It's not easy for it to grow so big, Sister Tongtong, let's not eat this river mussel, okay?"

Luo Tong couldn't bear to refuse the request of the child opposite, and she didn't want to eat this river mussel, "I just fished it back to see, but I didn't see it clearly at the bottom of the lake at that time, and I was going to take this river mussel back and raise it in my lotus pond." ”

"Bring it back?" Sheng Qiwu was surprised, I'm afraid it's not very easy to bring, if you drive back, you can still put it in the car and keep it with water. But when they came, they came by plane, how did they bring this river mussel?
