Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Fishing Competition

Today's weather is also surprisingly good, sunny and sunny.

Small flowers and grass have also sprouted, and a hint of green can occasionally be seen emerging from the ground on the roadside.

Achilles and Ajax walked one after the other on the way to Little Pat's house, but now the situation seemed a little awkward.

Achilles seems to be lost! Little Pat's house he hasn't been to!

After wandering around for a long time, Ajax, who was following behind, finally couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

"It's coming, it's coming. Achilles replied calmly on the surface, but in fact his heart was already on fire.

What did Makaon say last time?

But where is the north?

"Up north, down south, left west, right east?" Achilles muttered secretly, and then subconsciously looked up.

Phew, there's only blue sky and white clouds on it.

Achilles felt as if his IQ was a little insufficient, why didn't he find out that he was a confused teenager with no sense of direction before?

"Ajax, do you know where the north is?" After thinking about it for a while, Achilles decided to ask Ajax for help, otherwise the two of them might have to bask in the sun until noon and then go home.

Ajax glanced at him speechlessly, glanced back at the direction where the sun was rising, and reached out to the right and pointed, "Right ......"

"Ah, yes, yes, I remember this is the north. Before Ajax could finish speaking, Achilles immediately pretended to have a flash of inspiration in his head and walked in the direction to the right.

Ajax wanted to go home directly after Achilles, that is, he didn't have the slightest experience of scolding people, if he was Achilles, he might have blurted out a sentence of MDZZ.

After walking for a while to the north, he finally saw the outermost fence wall of the tribe, and from there was the place where Macaon had built thatched huts for the people.

Achilles and Ajax looked closer to the wall, the first thatched hut was so close that even Achilles could see little Pat sitting in front of the door in a bored daze.

"Hey, Patroclus!"

Little Pat looked up and saw two figures running over the fence not far in front of him.

Little Pat immediately stood up, "Achilles, why did you turn it over?"

Achilles ran up to little Pat, "Hehe, isn't this trying to play with you?"

"No, no, no. Little Pat waved his hand and pointed in a direction behind the two of them, "I mean, isn't there a door? Why did you two turn it over?"

Achilles and Ajax looked back, and there was a small closed door in the fence wall!

No, no, I must have an IQ offline today. Achilles reached out and covered his face, which was simply humiliating.

Ajax gave Achilles a cool look with a blank face, and then unconsciously began to blush......

......

"Going out to play?" Little Pat looked at the two of them in surprise, "Achilles, do you know where to play?"

After Achilles and Ajax were embarrassed just now, they immediately explained their intentions to little Pat.

"I just didn't know how to come to you. ”

Achilles shook his head, he just wanted to go out for a walk and make sure Ajax wouldn't be left home alone. Staying in the house all day, he felt like he was getting moldy.

Ajax still had a cool face and didn't say anything.

"Then let's go fishing. Little Pat clapped his palms and said, "There seems to be a stream on the edge of the forest to the west, where we can go and catch fish." ”

"Are you sure there will be fish now?" Achilles confirmed, and winter had only barely passed.

"Don't worry, there must be. Little Pat said firmly, "A few days ago, there were adults who went inside to catch fish and come back to eat." ”

"Let's go. Achilles decided that this was it.

"Wait for me, I'll go get the frame. Little Pat hurried into the house to find the basket for the fish.

Achilles was in high spirits and ready to go into the water to catch fish later, but Ajax behind him did not look good.

But after a moment's hesitation, Ajax said nothing.

Little Pat ran out of the house with a basket and closed the door with his hand, for neither Menotius nor Philomena were at home.

"Let's go. ”

Achilles glanced at him and blurted out, "Such a big basket?"

Little Pat's basket is huge, and it must be no problem to pack a little Pat.

"There's nothing else at home. Little Pat said innocently. The family didn't prepare a basket for him to catch fish, and it was good that he didn't carry a clay pot.

The group set off in a mighty manner, with little Pat walking in front, Achilles in the middle, and Ajax following behind.

After walking for about ten minutes, the three of them finally reached the side of the stream, and on the west bank of the stream was the forest, and many trees had already spit out their buds.

The creek is really not wide, it is just over three meters, much narrower than the river in front of Achilles' previous house.

Little Pat picked up his trousers and jumped in first, ready to fish up a few large ones to show off in front of Achilles and Ajax.

Achilles bent down and rolled up his pants to get into the water, when he suddenly saw Ajax behind him standing still with a cool face.

"Ajax, aren't you going to prepare?"

Ajax gave him a cool look, "I don't want to go into the water. ”

??EXM?

Why didn't you just say that you didn't want to go into the water? Achilles was a little confused, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he and little Pat went into the water to fish and Ajax watched from the shore?

"You're not afraid of water, are you?"

"How is that possible?" said Ajax, with a rare hint of mockery on his face.

Yes, the island of Salamis is surrounded by the sea, and it is full of water, and Ajax seems to be afraid of water.

Then why didn't he go into the water? Achilles suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head, "You're not afraid of the cold, are you?"

"Talent...... Not really. ”

Ajax took two steps back with his arms folded over his chest, a little strange as to how this dumb-looking cousin could have guessed?

Achilles had no idea that he was being despised, and he had grasped Ajax's weakness. The island of Salamis is in the warm south, and it has never snowed heavily, and Ajax seems to be afraid of the cold......

"Hey, hey, hey. Achilles deliberately sneered: "I didn't expect the dignified prince of Salamis Island to be afraid of the cold? ”

"I'm not afraid!" said Ajax's face turned white.

"Let's come together, and see who catches more fish. Achilles said defiantly, but he forgot that he was afraid of the cold.

Ajax didn't say a word, he rolled up his trouser legs and went into the water, he was a little afraid of the cold, yes, but it wasn't as serious as Achilles thought.

"Wow, good ice. Ajax hadn't spoken, but Achilles had just stepped into the water and felt that it was outrageously cold.

Ajax glanced at Achilles in surprise, thinking how powerful he was, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.

Achilles got used to it and felt better. In fact, it is not as cold as in winter now, and his physique has become stronger and more resistant to cold than in winter.

The water at the edge of the riverbed was not deep, probably only to their knees, and Achilles looked into the water, but found no fish at all.

"Patroclus, don't you say there are fish? ”

Little Pat bent over the water and turned the stones intently, and whispered, "There is also skill in finding fish, you have to go to places where the water is slow, like these potholes and under the stones......"

Achilles listened attentively, and Ajax pretended not to care, but his ears were already pricked up.

Little Pat was talking when he suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and swiped into the water, and shouted happily: "Look, I have caught it!"

Looking at the fish in Little Pat's hand, Achilles Khan came down.

The fish was only as thick as his little finger!

You're not kidding, are you? Catch such a small fish with such a big basket?

Achilles glanced at the basket silently, at least ...... 10,000 to fill up.

Glancing at the fish in Little Pat's hand again, Achilles reversed his guess again, these ten thousand must be dissatisfied!

"Little Pat, is there only such a big fish here?" If Little Pat said yes, Achilles felt that he should go back, this fish, just don't catch it.

"Of course not. Little Pat grinned and threw the fish back into the water, "Last time I saw those fish caught by adults, they were thicker than my arm, but they must all be under those big rocks." Little Pat casually pointed to a few large rocks jutting out of the water.

Achilles glanced back at Ajax, who happened to be looking at him as well.

The two men glanced at each other, and immediately moved, each picking a large rock and rushing over.

"Don't worry, even if there are fish under the stones......"

Before little Pat finished speaking, Achilles had already seen a big fish and immediately reached out to catch it.

However, the fish was very nimble, and with only a flick of its tail, it escaped from the palm of Achilles' hand in an instant.

“...... There is also a chance that it will slip away. Little Pat had finally finished speaking, but the fish in front of Achilles had slipped away.

"So you move a little quieter. Little Pat looked at Achilles and said helplessly.

Ajax turned his head to look at Achilles, with a mocking smile on his face, and a "big fish" about thirty centimeters in his hand.

At this moment, Ajax had already been caught, and he seemed to be ...... Mocked?!

Achilles' eyes lit up with a fierce desire to win, no matter how you say it, you can't lose to a little kid!

Achilles immediately touched the big rock in the distance, and Ajax continued to start the fishing trip, but little Pat walked behind with the frame on his back, specially releasing the fish and giving them two to calculate the score.

The three of them walked further and further downstream along the stream, completely oblivious to the fact that in the dense forest to the west, a pair of turquoise beast pupils were quietly watching them!
