Chapter 60: Family Curse
"Oh, Childe is talking about that little fish pond! ”
Zhaocai slapped his head, and then he knew what Xu Yixi was talking about. However, he always felt that his son-in-law was very strange, and he was not interested in the big business, so he had to go to study hard to test what kind of fame, and every time the master did not allow the son-in-law to go out, the son-in-law would go to the back garden of the family where a rockery quietly enjoyed the fish.
"Oh, I'm going to add water. ”
found that Xu Yixi was looking at him with slanted eyes, and Zhaocai reacted from his thoughts. I went to the kitchen and got a wooden bucket, ran to a deep well in the courtyard, filled it with a bucket of water, and carried it to the back garden.
"Don't be so careless next time, you must always keep water in this small pool. ”
Staring at the two golden koi fish in a small pool carved out by hand on the rockery, Xu Yixi commanded.
Seeing Zhaocai's obedient nod, Xu Yixi took the wooden bucket from his hand, picked up the bottom of the barrel, and slowly poured the water into the small pool.
In the scorching sun, within half a day, the water in the pool was evaporated, and the two little koi fish were churning around with the little water left, just wanting to keep wetting their bodies, otherwise they would be turned into a koi grilled fish by the scorching sun at any time.
When the cool water of the well slid down to their bodies, the two koi fish swam happily, because they knew that someone was adding water to the pond as usual, and they could finally swim around happily as before.
They've been rescued!
"Childe, it's a hot hour, you see that this water has also been added, so let's go to the house to escape the heat!"
Zhao Cai wiped the sweat oozing from his face, and subconsciously looked up at the sky, the light of the sun was so shakable that he couldn't open his eyes. Closing his gaze, he hurriedly suggested.
"Go get my umbrella. ”
"...... this?"
Could it be that you have to stand here and enjoy the fish?
Just guessed for a while, and as soon as he looked up, Zhaocai met Xu Yixi's sharp eyes, pouted, and hurried away.
Sure enough, Xu Yixi stood in the pond with a bamboo umbrella to enjoy the fish.
At noon, facing the sun, holding a bamboo umbrella, and appreciating fish, Zhaocai always felt that his son-in-law's behavior was too unbelievable, and among the hundreds of people, I am afraid that there will not be one.
"Childe, that's... I'll step back first?" wiped his forehead and whispered tentatively.
It's also strange that he was about to sweat, and he inadvertently glanced at Childe, but Childe was not as sweaty as he was. In his life, he hated the scorching sun the most, in previous years, whenever he sweated and was hot like today, Zhaocai always hid far away, and he hated to live in the deep mountains and old forests, because the mountains and forests were the most shady.
"Go ahead!"
Xu Yixi waved his hand casually and looked at the koi in the pool again.
Seeing Gongzi standing in place in a daze and staring at the two koi fish, Zhao Cai didn't feel worried, and left step by step.
The koi fish happily wandered in the pool, frolicking, so that Xu Yixi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but have a ripple at the corner of his mouth.
"Shui Jing, it's this stupid melon again! But thanks to him every time he brings well water to feed us. ”
"Li Xi, you're talking stupid again. When we first left Grandma, what did Grandma warn us, and you forgot it so quickly?"
"Hmm... Grandma said that our koi clan is different from other fish clans, we have spiritual roots. If you are obedient, do not cause trouble, calm your mind, dispel distracting thoughts, and pray for mankind wholeheartedly, one day you can also have a statue of yourself like your grandmother, which is a symbol of glory and faith. On the contrary......"
Speaking of this, Li Xi suddenly pouted and blew a blister, looking at her sister who was a fellow mother, and looked a little embarrassed.
"Well, Li Xi, your memory is good, these are almost repeated word for word, but the important thing is the next words! Our koi people are born to pray for the blessings of human beings, and I only wish them good luck every year. But it can't have any intersection with humans, and it's not allowed to have any distractions other than praying for blessings, otherwise it will be cursed by the koi family. ”
Shui Xi kept wandering around Li Xi's body, looking at her sister to death, calm and capable, and telling Li Xi about the benefits and disadvantages.
As a sister, she really didn't want Sister to step into that cursed forbidden area. Although Grandma only casually mentioned the family curse, Shui Jing remembered it.
When she was very young, her Apu once told her a story about the curse of the family, saying that many years ago, there was a son in the family who was playful by nature, but his character was not bad, and he was also talented, and he didn't know what method to use, and he won the favor of a human woman.
The woman then raised him with special utensils, and collected the dew drops of the early morning for him to collect them into a full set of water, and this was the case day by day, until in the end, the koi boy actually unbelievably transformed into a human form. However, he had distracting thoughts and wanted to be an affectionate couple with that human woman in the world. However, the family did not allow it, and as soon as the curse came out, he ended up with a god and a god......
Regarding the curse of the koi family, Shui Wei didn't know if it was true or not, Apu said it was quite mysterious, but Apu mentioned it casually, she was young at the time, but Apu's words were imprinted in her mind and took root. She firmly believes that the legend exists......
Suddenly, a big white hand flicked into the pool, lightly touched Li Xi's beautiful and light tail, which made her "whoosh" startled, fluttered a small splash, and coldly hit the head of the water wattle, the two sisters grinned in pain, and drank a lot of cool well water, almost choking.
"Sister, will this stupid melon have malicious intentions towards us?"
Li Xi shook her pectoral fins a few times and swam to the innermost part of the pool. She was a little afraid, worried that Xu Yixi in front of her would make some bad moves.
"Probably not, Grandma said, human beings are very friendly, if it's really bad, after death, you will fall into the prison realm and cannot be reincarnated. ”
Shui Jing raised his vigilance, protected Li Xi with his body, glanced at Xu Yixi, and pretended to be calm and said to Ah Mei.
"Oh, then I'm relieved. ”
After listening to Sister A's words, Li Xi slowly swam out of the pool boldly.
Swimming, there was a purple petal floating on the top of his head, red and gorgeous, really beautiful, so that Li Xi couldn't help but play back and forth with the petals.
"In the middle of summer, the oil is green, and the only thing is itchy and red!"
Hearing this, Li Xi stopped, not playing with the beautiful petals. As soon as I looked up, I saw Xu Yixi by the pool, looking at his shoulder with a dull gaze and muttering poetry.
It turned out that there was an itchy flower on his shoulder, and the itchy flower was crape myrtle.
I saw Xu Yixi raise his hand, take the crape myrtle flower off his shoulder, gently rest it in his palm, and then look at the red and gorgeous flower in a daze......
The courtyard of the Xu family is quite large, there is a slightly larger back garden, there is a small rockery in the garden, a pond is chiseled on the rockery, and two small koi are placed in the pool.
Just as the summer heat is scorching, all the flowers have disappeared, except for the crape myrtle flowers in the garden transplanted last year, which are blooming in the scorching sun, red, purple, and a cluster of flowers.
A cool breeze blows, and the crape myrtle tree sways its smooth branches, showing off its charming colors. On the ground, small flowers fall, accompanied by a little petal.
"Ahh
When she was looking at the crape myrtle flower in this courtyard, Li Xi was completely unaware that the red and gorgeous crape myrtle flower in the palm of the person who had been standing in front of her for a long time was being blown down by the wind and smashed straight on her head.
