Chapter 47: The Old River God
Xuan Xuan stretched her body and leaned on the seat of the cabin, looking at the blue sky intently, and only breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's life! It's so comfortable. ”
With that, she closed her eyes and lazily let the sun shine on her.
Just after the tense midterm exam, in order to reward me and Dong Si for our outstanding results, Dong Si's father specially rented a speedboat to prepare for camping in the lake. And even Xuanxuan's family was called together.
The three of them traveled together lively, and the most hilarious was us. Isn't that what the adults were looking for to set up camp for, and we took the opportunity to get back on the speedboat, either lazy or giggling. Completely forget all the nervousness of the exam.
"And what about fishermen fishing?" Dong Si shouted excitedly, and even Xuan Xuan, who was napping on the side, came over to watch curiously. For those of us who live in cities, fishing is a novelty, so how can we not arouse our curiosity?
But I don't know why, a large net on the fishing boat went down, but when it was pulled up, there was no net full of scales and fish and shrimp as we imagined. A few fish that could only be counted on one hand in the huge net were dying and struggling, and this was not a picture, but a net.
"What, it's not fun at all, I thought I could see the big scene of fish and shrimp filling the cabin."
Xuan Xuan soon felt bored, muttered back to her seat, and continued to close her eyes and bask in the sun.
"It's so hard! For most of the day, you can only exchange a small amount of fish, and it is estimated that you will only be able to feed your family. Dong Si said that there was no lack of sympathy between words.
"Yes, life is not easy!" I said it in the same way as my parents, even though I didn't really understand how difficult it was.
Soon it was noon, and even Xuan Xuan's stomach, which had been sleepy on the saddle, began to "gurgle". In the morning, when I learned that we were camping today, we were excited and didn't have much breakfast when we were at our respective homes. No, now the stomach is starting to protest.
"Let's go back to the camp, I guess the adults should set up the camp properly, let's go back and eat delicious food, we're going to starve to death." Xuan Xuan was the first to jump up and shouted.
Dong Si smiled, turned the steering wheel, and sailed the boat to the shore. In fact, sometimes I admire Dong Si, she is the kind of person who can be proficient in all kinds of weapons. Many times, as long as she observes a new thing for a while, she will be able to familiarize herself with the road and grasp it thoroughly. Just like this yacht, she was able to take us on a solo boat just by watching her father sail it once. Alas, when would it be nice for me to be as smart as she was.
After going ashore, just as we were about to go back to camp. I was hooked by a conversation.
"Dad, I'm so hungry, let's grill a fish to eat, shall we?"
"No, these are dedicated to the old river god, only if his old man receives our tribute, we can live a stable and happy life here."
"But I'm starving, Daddy!"
"Hold on a little longer, good son, good."
The father and son who spoke happened to be the fisherman we had just seen, and their boat was also parked not far from us. Actually, there was nothing wrong with that, but their words caught my attention.
"The old river god? What exactly? It seems to be a little interesting to make a guy who can make a father endure starving his children and pay tribute sincerely. ”
Dong Si also heard the conversation between the father and son, and with her understanding of me, she probably guessed my thoughts.
"Let's go back to camp first, don't let your parents worry. It's never too late to talk about the rest. ”
I nodded, not holding on to anything. Since I was a child, Dong Si has been very thoughtful, and in comparison, I have often played the role of a stunned young man. So sometimes I still listen to her words with an open mind.
It turns out that listening to Dong Si is definitely a wise choice. In the camp, the mothers have already prepared delicacies, in addition to the barbecue necessary for camping, the surging salad on the table with a complete set of meat and vegetables is piled up like a hill, which is the mother's big handiwork. and the sweet, soft and glutinous, sesame-scented baked meat foam pumpkin is Dong Si's mother's masterpiece. There are even desserts such as coconut sago and apple muffins. Well, the mothers are really eight immortals across the sea, each showing their magical powers.
As for the dads, they have already talked about wine and wine over there, and they have talked about the sea and the sky, and they have the meaning of seeing each other late and hating each other, and they are like old friends at first sight. The most pitiful thing is my brother, who is alone playing with his mobile phone, drinking drinks, and looking like he has no belonging. I knew that it would be good to take him with us when we went out just now, but looking at Xuan Xuan's shining eyes, I thought about it, forget it, anyway, in front of adults, this perverted girl can still be more restrained.
After seeing us come back, the dads, who were already a little drunk, immediately became excited and beckoned everyone to start the picnic. He also vowed that everyone was waiting for us to come back for dinner, and no one moved the chopsticks first.
Looking at the piece of land they were sitting on just now, there was clearly a garbage bag, in which all kinds of chicken bones and sheep ribs were clearly visible. Xuan Xuan and I glanced at them with disdain.
Hmph, they really didn't move the chopsticks first, but they all grabbed them first.
Only Dong Si moved the convenience stool with his usual smile and pulled all the parents to sit around the table. In contrast, I'm a little embarrassed.
Look at Dong Si, this is my mother's intimate little padded jacket, my father's little lover in his previous life. And what about us? I looked at Xuan Xuan and examined myself. We're afraid that we have added a black-hearted cotton jacket, and we owe a debt in our previous life.
Anyway, the picnic was a success, the dads were very happy, the mothers were very happy, except for the fact that I had to bother to control Xuan Xuan's eyes during the meal, everything else was perfect.
After a full meal, the dads made tea contentedly, and the mothers gathered together to talk about the clothes and makeup of the children.
I quietly dragged Xuan Xuan, who was trying to rub against my brother's side, and called Dong Si to find a hidden bush together, and talked to them about the fisherman's father and son.
In fact, since I met Xuefei, I obviously feel that I have an inexplicable premonition many times, and as long as this premonition appears, something unusual will happen. And this time, when in the vicinity of the father and son, the feeling reappeared, and it was extremely strong. So I'm sure the island, and the old river god, must have an unusual secret.
So, I told Dong Si and Xuan Xuan all these 1510 to know what they proposed.
"I don't have any ideas, but there is one thing, if you want to do something, you have to take me with you, how can I be left behind?" Xuan Xuan said casually.
I'll take a look at Dong Si.
"Listen to you." Concise and neat answer, Dong Si has always been like this when it comes to my affairs.
"Alright! So let's take action, Ice Crystal Sisters! ”
Hey? Why do I say that?
