Volume 1 Chapter 17 Eaten
"Are you sure it's your fish?" The fish thief asked.
Mu Jinxi sneered: "It's not mine, is it yours?" The third watch dressed like this in the middle of the night is either to rob money or steal people, but it's none of my business, I just want to do my own thing. So this ...... Childe, you should hurry up and leave at this time. ”
Robbing money and stealing people?
The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth twitched, making sure that the woman in front of him was not an ordinary village girl.
In fact, he wasn't going to expose himself, but then he couldn't help it, and it was the first time he'd seen such a - well, funny woman.
He was the one who came to the river first, but when he saw that the night was fine tonight, he suddenly became appreciative, so he lay down on the tree, admiring the moon, and thinking in his heart what he should tell the man after returning to Beijing. Before he could come up with a reason, he saw a peasant woman by the river.
His first reaction was that this woman came to the river alone in the middle of the night because she was going to do something shady, such as having a private meeting with someone, cheating or something.
It's just that he didn't expect that this woman didn't come to cheat or have a private relationship, but to catch fish! It's really strange, in the middle of the night, the third watch doesn't sleep but runs to catch fish, and talks to a fish, this behavior really looks like a madman.
But what she said was not what a madman would say, and judging from what she said, she was not only not a madman, but a rather intelligent woman, and quite bold, to dare to speak to him like this.
Isn't she worried that she'll kill her? He's wearing a night walker, isn't he? She herself said just now that he is either robbing money or stealing people.
"Why should I leave? Even if I did do something bad tonight, I was sure that nothing would happen to me, but you, a woman, came here in the middle of the night without sleeping at home...... Isn't it you and I who are in the same way? Mo Qingcang didn't know why he wanted to talk to this woman, this was completely inconsistent with his previous style!
"Who are you like-minded? Hurry up and put my fish down! "If he does anything to her fish, she's going to fight him.
Mo Qingcang shook the fish in his hand and said, "Don't you want to kill this fish?" But you don't seem to have a knife or anything like that, so I'll help you clean the fish, how about it? ”
Mu Jinxi stared at him suspiciously and asked, "And then?" What are your requirements or conditions? She wouldn't believe he would kill fish for her for no reason.
Mo Qingcang raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, you can just share a little fish with me, isn't that too much?" ”
He found that the woman was very nervous about these fish, which made him a little curious, but it was just a fish, and there were many in this river, even if he took this one, she would catch another one, but she was very nervous, and if he touched her fish, she would fight with him desperately.
Is there something special about these fish that makes this woman so nervous? Mo Qingcang guessed, although he felt that this possibility was very small, he had eaten all kinds of fish, but he really couldn't see anything different about the fish in front of him.
"That's it?" Mu Jinxi asked suspiciously.
"That's all."
Mu Jinxi quickly analyzed the situation in front of him, and then made a decisive choice: "Since this is the case, let's do it, you cut the fish and clean it, you must clean it." ”
Mo Qingcang raised his eyebrows again, and found that he was instructed by a village girl to work, this was the first time in history! But forget it, he is a big man and doesn't care about a weak woman.
After shrugging his shoulders, Mo Qingcang took the fish and walked to the river and squatted down, Mu Jinxi did not follow to supervise, she believed that he could clean up the fish.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to come over with the cleaned fish. Mu Jinxi's eyes were firmly fixed on the fish in his hand, and as he got closer and closer, the light in her eyes became more and more intense, and finally Mo Qingcang's heart was a little hairy.
"Hey, why is this fish so strange, I've never seen a red fish, are you sure it's a fish?" Mo Qingcang asked strangely.
He was really startled when he cut the fish just now, he had never seen the red fish before, he didn't expect the fish to be red, no wonder the woman was so nervous, there must be some secret on this fish, right?
"Give it to me!" Mu Jinxi said hurriedly, like a starving ghost.
Mo Qingcang hesitated, but Mu Jinxi couldn't wait to snatch it up, and took a look at the moonlight-
"Hahaha......" Hibiscus couldn't help laughing.
Salmon, it's salmon!
Mu Jinxi didn't care whether his hands were dirty or not, and there was no condiment around him, so he tore off a piece with his hand and put it in his mouth without hesitation.
Mo Qingcang on the side couldn't stop it even if he wanted to, "Hey, why did you eat it!" ”
Mu Jinxi didn't hear Mo Qingcang's voice, she only had one feeling, that is, fresh! The fish is delicious! If she has condiments by her side, she guarantees that it will be the most delicious salmon she's ever had!
While chewing on the unusually delicious fish in his mouth, Mu Jinxi had already knocked the abacus in his heart at the same time.
As soon as she was in a good mood, Mu Jinxi became much more talkative and generous, she handed the fish over and said, "Come, share half of you!" ”
Mo Qingcang looked at the fish that looked a little weird, and didn't reach out to pick it up, but asked, "What kind of fish is this?" Can you really eat it? But I've never seen a red fish before, let alone eaten it. ”
Mu Jinxi glanced at him, like a bun. "Don't worry, this fish is not only possible to eat, but also very delicious, but now there are no seasoning ingredients, which makes the taste a little inferior." Mu Jinxi felt a little pity.
Mo Qingcang no longer doubted anything when he heard her say this, took the fish she handed over, and tore a piece and put it in his mouth like her, his eyes lit up.
"It's really delicious!" Although there is no taste, but the kind of freshness he picks his picky taste buds still tasted, different from ordinary fish, the meat is tight, the taste is delicate and elastic, and it is also very smooth, he has eaten this fish for the first time.
Mu Jinxi smiled, "It would be better if there was a spice." "But it doesn't matter, she still has two, grab them and take them home to get them.
"What kind of fish is this? I see a lot of them in this river, don't the people in your village catch them and eat them on weekdays? Mo Qingcang asked strangely.
Because he could see that if the villagers would catch fish from the river to eat on weekdays, it would definitely not be this amount, and at a glance, he knew that no one had caught them for a long time, so he bred so much.
Mu Jinxi shrugged his shoulders and said, "You also saw that the flesh of this fish is red, and everyone has never seen it, so ......"
People always have an instinctive rejection and fear of the unknown.
"Then how dare you eat it?" Mo Qingcang looked deeply at the woman in front of him.
Although she is a villager in this vicinity, she should not have reached the point of panicking, right? So how did she know how to have the guts to try to eat the fish here?
Mu Jinxi squinted at him, "Does it have anything to do with you?" ”
Mo Qingcang choked.
Mu Jinxi ignored him, got up and went down the river, ready to catch the two trapped fish and take them home.
Mo Qingcang followed behind her and watched her hold a branch to spear a fish, and with a compassionate wave of his hand, the two fish were sucked up alive and jumped on the ground.
Mu Jinxi stared at the fish on the ground in amazement.
