Bathing animals is not a simple job, and this must have a strong resonance for those who have ever had a cat.

A small animal of cat's size is so difficult to serve, not to mention the mud fish dragon that is a hundred times larger than it.

Even when Rove drove the mudfish dragon into the beaver dam, it was met with the strongest resistance.

But the more it resisted, the more excited Rove became, and he even used tying, whipping, whipping, and other means to get this guy into line.

In short, bathing the mud fish dragon is a process of old sins for both parties!

Of course, the beaver family who lives here is even more guilty.

Their family of four originally had no worries about food and clothing, and they were happy, but then the lake at the door became a stinky ditch, and the lake-view house was collapsed by the mud fish dragon...... What a tragic word!

Therefore, after cleaning the mud fish dragon, the boy did not leave in a hurry, but stayed to do the aftermath work.

When Shirley arrives at the beaver dam, she sees Rove crouching on a pile of trees floating on the river, chatting with two baby beavers.

After Shirley appeared, the slightly older sister beaver was extremely vigilant and immediately jumped into the water with a thud.

When he saw that his brother was still stupidly climbing on the branches, and did not follow, he bit his brother's tail and dragged him into the water.

However, the two little ones did not dive underwater, but appeared together and secretly looked at Shirley with their small eyes.

The ponytailed girl walked up to the young man and wondered, "Off, what are you doing here?" ”

"The mudfish dragon washed away the beaver dam, and I'm mending it." Rove pointed to the two little beavers and smiled, "They are overseers. ”

A beaver dam is a kind of "special reservoir" formed by the beaver staggering saplings, branches or shoots stacked on top of each other in the river channel.

Like human-built dams, these reservoirs store large amounts of river water, and if the dams are destroyed, they can cause floods and damage downstream ecosystems.

As the initiator, of course, Rove cannot let the "flood discharge" go unchecked, and must take on the heavy responsibility of repair.

"Did you get it?" Rove asked.

Shirley hummed softly, took out a handful of white plants from her pocket and handed it to Rove, and said softly:

"I've picked a lot of ghost grass, and when I see Hermione and Fleur, I can give them some so they don't have to bother to come over."

Rove took the ghost grass, looked up at Shirley, and said, "We probably won't have time to find the two of them today. ”

Shirley glanced at the sky and wondered, "Isn't it still early?" ”

"It's still early." Rove picked up a branch and stuck it in the water, explaining:

"But I have to repair the dam, and I have to help the beaver family fix their nest, and by the time I'm done, I guess it'll be evening."

"We still have to collect dragon crystals, and then go to Hermione and Fleur, we may be busy until late at night, why don't we go again tomorrow morning, what do you think?"

Shirley was stunned and said, "You mean, the two of us are going to camp here tonight?" ”

"Hmm." Rove nodded.

The ponytailed girl's eyes lit up, "Just the two of us?" ”

"That's right." Rove smiled, "But I basically didn't bring anything, I thought I would be able to end the game during the day, I didn't think I was going to spend the night here, and the box was left at Margaery's......"

"It's okay!" Shirley's eyes widened, she tugged at Rove's sleeve, and said with a radiant expression:

"There's wood everywhere, so it's okay if we don't have boxes, we can build our own makeshift shelter."

"By the way, I still have toiletries and a clean change of clothes."

Shirley raised her purse made from the skin of a shape-shifting lizard, and said with a little smugness, "Including your clothes." ”

"Why do you still have my clothes?" Rove's face was full of surprise.

"Have you forgotten?" Shirley smiled, stuck out her tongue and said:

"During the summer vacation, you went to the convent for a few days, and I helped you wash the clothes you changed into, and you stayed with me all the time."

Rove remembered that there was such a thing, and he was still trying his best to oppose it at the time, after all, let the little girl help you wash your underwear, what's the matter?

Seeing the young man looking directly at herself, Shirley blushed and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"I wonder if I can't let you wash it for me." Rove smiled: "That's it, I'll wash the clothes you changed tonight, so that the two of us can settle down." ”

The ponytail girl glared at her. "Don't think!"

Seeing what Rove wanted to say, the shy Shirley hurriedly got up and said, "I'm going to build a shelter, so I won't talk to you." ”

She took three or four steps, suddenly remembered something, turned around again, and blinked:

"By the way, Rove, I was just passing by a depression when I saw a flock of wild ducks......"

Rove smiled knowingly and said, "When I finish repairing the dam, I'll catch the fattest wild duck and make you a roast duck to eat tonight." ”

Shirley's eyes were smiling like crescent moons, and her steps were cheerful and lilt, running off into the distance, looking for a place to build shelter tonight.

The beaver siblings, who had climbed to the trunk of the tree again, threw themselves into the river with another thud, and the corners of Rove's mouth curled, and said:

"If you don't eat the two of you, what are you afraid of?"

When Rove and Shirley chat, they would use magic to block out their sounds, and the students in the Quidditch field could only see them talking and laughing, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

But as Shirley cleared the fallen leaves in the woods and collected the dead branches and broken trees, Ludo gradually came back to his senses and wondered:

"Swinton looks like she's going to set up a shelter, are she and Scamander going to stay overnight?

But it's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and if they move quickly, they will definitely be able to collect the dragon crystals before evening and complete the first project first.

This will be much faster than other warriors, and the score will be a lot higher. Isn't this more important than camping? How can they just give up a great advantage? ”

Ludo's tone was very anxious, like a gambling dog.

When the students heard Ludo's words, they also talked to each other, like a swarm of bees buzzing.

Whether it's Rove or Shirley, there are plenty of admirers at Hogwarts.

Now I saw that the two of them were going to camp together, in the wilderness, and they were lonely men and widows.

Thinking of this, this group of students scratched their hearts and livers with jealousy, and they wanted to rush into the competition scene and burn this heretic with an obvious sour smell to death.

Unbeknownst to Rove, a group of schoolboys at Hogwarts were already thinking about assassinating him, and he continued to strengthen the dam and help the Beaver family repair their nest.

By this time, the mud in the river had settled, the surface of the river had become clear again, and Rove also dived to the bottom of the river and caught two fat trout.

Rove went to catch the ducks again, picking berries and mushrooms on the way, and by the time he got back to the lake, it was late afternoon.

As the twilight grew, darkness seeped into the forest emptiness.

Shirley, who had already built the shelter, sat by a campfire and waited quietly for Rove, as if waiting for him to come home.
