Zheng Bajin took Qingqing and Xiaocao and ate up two large bowls of fragrant potatoes.
The two of them still wanted to eat, especially Xiaocao. They licked their lips and said, "This is the most fragrant potato I have ever eaten. It's my mother's loss if she didn't eat it."
Zheng Bajin smiled and said, "Do you want something more delicious?"
"There are more delicious ones!" Xiaocao's eyes lit up.
Zheng Bajin nodded and said with a smile: "Trust me, just follow me." Two bowls of potatoes brought Xiaocao closer to him. It was really easy.
Xiaocao was so happy that she took Qingqing's hand and followed Zheng Bajin out the door.
Zheng Bajin took a look and found a basket in the corner of the door. He picked it up and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to get something delicious. Xiaocao, go pick up an empty bucket!"
Xiaocao stumbled back to the penthouse and took out an empty bucket filled with water. He was startled when he saw Zheng Bajin lifting a stick.
"Take it!" Zheng Bajin handed the stick into Qingqing's hand and stepped forward to lead the way.
After a while, the three of them arrived at a rice field in front of the village. There was a ditch less than one meter wide in the middle. The water in it was crystal clear and there were swarms of fish.
Xiaocao already understood. He looked at the fish in the ditch and said disapprovingly: "I thought you brought us to catch something delicious, but it was just a few fish. I have done that before."
Qingqing was very happy. She had not been out for several years. Looking at the blue sky, the huge stone weighing on her heart became lighter.
Several men who were pulling weeds in the field looked at the two adults carrying the grass in surprise and couldn't help but shook their heads: "It's a good time to work in the fields, but you don't do your job properly. It's really embarrassing!"
"Isn't this Xiaocao from Nian Jian's home? Who is the man next to her?"
"Who knows? He must be a bastard. Oh, by the way, I heard that a man who calls himself a half-immortal has come to their family and is treating Xiaocao's sister Qingqing."
"It happened. I heard that it was cured. Isn't that big girl just Qingqing? She hasn't been out for several years. Is it really cured?"
Several adults stopped what they were doing, straightened up, and looked at Zheng Bajin and the other two people strangely, and couldn't help but talk about it.
A few good-hearted people actually walked over to Zheng Bajin and others, wanting to see what was going on.
Qingqing became nervous again when she saw someone. Watching these people look at her and keep pointing at her, she felt like a light on her back, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you again." Zheng Bajin looked at her and encouraged her, thinking to himself: Qingqing must make up for her lost childhood and regain her morale.
Qingqing didn't know what Zheng Bajin was thinking. Looking at his confident eyes, she was still worried that these people would cause trouble. Coupled with the fact that the weather was hot at this time, sweat flowed down unconsciously.
Zheng Bajin frowned slightly, secretly hating these troublesome people for ruining his good deeds.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a lonely willow tree, and suddenly he had an idea. He looked at Xiaocao and said, "I'll leave the fish in the ditch to you. Let's see how many you can catch."
Xiaocao looked at the adults walking by without any fear. After listening to Zheng Bajin's words, she took off her shoes and jumped into the ditch and started catching fish.
Qingqing was startled, and when she was about to step forward, Zheng Bajin held her hand.
Her whole body couldn't help but trembled, and she resisted instinctively.
Zheng Bajin didn't expect that she was still so repulsive to him, so he quickly let go and said, "Don't be afraid, the water is not deep, Xiaocao will be fine."
Qingqing looked at Xiaocao in panic. Seeing that she was really fine, she even caught a small fish and raised it up to show her: "Sister, I caught one."
"The grass is really good. Put it in a bucket, add some water to keep it, and keep catching it!" Zheng Bajin said.
Seeing that Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Bajin said hurriedly: "It's too hot here. I'll take you to rest under a tree for a while."
Qingqing didn't want to see those people, so she was naturally happy to follow them and walked together to the tree.
At this moment, Zheng Bajin suddenly grabbed the trunk and climbed up the tree.
Qingqing was startled when she looked at the tree as thick as a bucket, and hurriedly said: "Be careful!"
"It's okay, I've liked trees since I was a child." Zheng Bajin said, breathless and heartbeatless.
Although this tree had no branches underneath and had been secretly cut down to make matches, it was no problem for Zheng Bajin, who had liked to dig out bird's nests in trees since he was a child and who liked to exercise in his previous life. After a while, he climbed to a height of two or three meters, reached out and grabbed the branches above, sat on it, broke off a few thin branches, and threw them down.
Qingqing stepped aside in fright, looked up at Zheng Bajin, and asked strangely: "What are you doing? Be careful!"
"It's okay, don't worry." Zheng Bajin said and slipped down the trunk of the tree. Qingqing was so frightened that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
Several good people watched Zheng Bajin climb the tree and said proudly: "This kid is half-immortal and as timid as a mouse."
The next moment, I was so surprised that my jaw almost dropped to the ground. People are not running away, they are climbing trees for a purpose.
"Wow, this guy is indeed very skilled. He deserves to be a semi-immortal!" said a man.
"Yeah, you see, it's normal to be innocent." Another man said, standing still and not daring to come forward.
Others also stopped and looked at Zheng Bajin and Qingqing in trance from a distance.
Qingqing stood by the tree, trying to stay as far away from those meddling people as possible.
Zheng Bajin picked up the branches on the ground, quickly knitted a straw hat, and reached out to put it on Qingqing.
Qingqing took a step back, her face a little red, she took the straw hat and put it on herself, deliberately covering half of her face.
"Hey, that's good." Zheng Bajin didn't forget to praise him, and complained in his heart: In the previous life, for the sake of career, he didn't care about the women around him, and he didn't know the sincerity of women. It turns out that coaxing girls is such a happy thing.
"Are you talking about Straw Hat being good, or something else?" Qingqing glanced at Zheng Bajin.
"The straw hat is pretty good, I knitted it myself." Zheng Bajin said. Seeing Qingqing's little mouth pouting, looking a little disappointed, he quickly added, "The person is even better!"
"Humph, you lied!" Qingqing said, her face turned red again, and she hid behind the big tree.
In this day and age, when praising a girl, you have to be as subtle as possible, otherwise, it will be considered frivolous.
"Let's go! Let's go see Xiaocao and see how many fish she caught. Don't worry about these meddlesome people. There is a saying, go your own way and let others see it!" Zheng Bajin smiled. explain.
"No!" Qingqing said.
"If you don't go, I will come to arrest you. Do you think you should come with me yourself, or should I force you to go?"
"No, I will leave after those people leave." Qingqing said firmly.
Zheng Bajin sighed inwardly. It seemed that it would take a certain amount of time for her to completely eliminate social fear. She could not rush for success, otherwise it would be counterproductive.
"Let's do this, I'll drive these people away!" Zheng Bajin said, walked towards a few men, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't go farming, what are you looking at here? Be careful, there's something wrong with your eyes. "
Several people looked at each other with doubtful expressions. He began to mutter in his heart: "This guy really healed Qingqing, which means he has some ability. If he is really a semi-immortal, he can't afford to offend him."
Thinking about it, some people feel uncomfortable with their eyes due to psychological effects. In fact, how did they know that eye discomfort is normal after standing for too long under such a hot sun?
Zheng Bajin watched people's psychology begin to waver, feeling amused in his heart. He walked to a few men and said coldly: "Qingqing has just gotten better. If he is frightened by you and relapses, maybe Nian Jian'an will... I am working hard with you, so I advise you to do less than to do more, and to walk around a little bit."
Several people looked at each other, Zheng Bajin's words were not unreasonable, why bother to offend Nian Jianan for no reason just to watch the excitement.
Nian Jian'an lives in the village and has a little money. In addition, most of the people in the village have the same surname and the same clan origin. No one wants to be blamed for slandering the clan members.
As a result, these people did not dare to get closer, but returned to their own fields, raising their eyes from time to time to see what was going on here.
If this outsider dares to do something shameful with Qingqing in broad daylight, they will definitely come forward, even if it is to protect the dignity of the family!
However, these eyes squinted back and forth, and they soon felt a little sore.
Everyone was shocked, thinking: Is this guy really unpredictable? Don't dare to look anymore.
Zheng Bajin watched the people disperse and happily walked back to the tree. He said to Qingqing behind the tree: "Come out, I am half-immortal. I am not calling for nothing. I can just say a few spells to them, and they will all go back to the fields." .”
Qingqing came out in disbelief and saw that people were really gone, so she followed Zheng Bajin back to the ditch.
At this time, Xiaocao caught five or six fish, which were very small and could not fit between the teeth of three people. But she looked at Zheng Bajin and Qingqing, and still shouted with a sense of accomplishment: "Look, I caught all this. Hey, sister, this pot ring is very beautiful, I want it too!"
"Pot ring?" Qingqing glanced at her sister.
"This is called a straw hat! If you don't understand, don't scream!" Zheng Bajin was speechless.
"Ha, this is obviously a pot ring. I saw my mother doing this. She would get a few wicker sticks and tie them into a circle. Put them in a place and press the pointed bottom pot on them. Then it would be very stable." Xiaocao wiped his face. Mud, seriously.
Unexpectedly, she swiped the mud on her hand and turned into a big painted face, which made Qingqing and Zheng Bajin burst into laughter.
"Haha, sister laughed! After all these years, you finally smiled." Xiaocao shouted excitedly.
Zheng Bajin was stunned. As expected, Qingqing did not have a happy childhood, so he also laughed and sang: "You look so beautiful when you smile, just like a flower in spring..."
"Sister, he is right, you look so beautiful when you smile. From now on, you are not allowed to cry anymore, and you have to smile for me every day." Xiaocao stood in the ditch, waving his dirty little hands, and was about to clean it up. Clear trousers.
"Okay, from now on, we will find a way to make your sister more happy, and she will naturally smile." Zheng Bajin seemed to be an ignorant guy, interrupting Xiaocao again and again, which made Xiaocao feel very unhappy.
However, seeing that he made her sister laugh and cured her sister, she didn't care about him and nodded instead.
"Okay, Xiaocao has caught so many fish, now let me show off my skills." Zheng Bajin said, put the basket in the ditch, pressed the mouth of the basket with mud, and said with a smile, "Qingqing, now hand over I give you a task, carry a stick upstream, drive the fish down, and let them get into the basket on their own."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Xiaocao understood Zheng Bajin's operation and happily landed on the shore, holding the stick and galloping forward.
Zheng Bajin sighed, running like this will only scare the fish away, how can you catch the fish?
As expected, what Xiaocao chased back were just some slow-moving fish, but she was still very happy. After one trip, she netted a dozen crucian carp.
Zheng Bajin didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, but said with a smile: "This time, let Qingqing come down and be responsible for collecting the net. After watching the fish run into the basket, I picked it up. Go catch the fish yourself.”
Qingqing was very excited, but after hearing what Zheng Bajin said, she still shook her head and refused, not to mention going into the ditch.
Zheng Bajin thought that she was just afraid of getting dirty, so he didn't force it anymore. Instead, he took them upstream and found a place with many fish. He laid out the baskets and let Xiaocao Xiagou take control of them. Went around from another field ridge to the upper reaches of the ditch water and drove down a large group of fish.
Xiaocao was so excited that she almost shouted.
Zheng Bajin hurriedly said: "Calm down, don't scare the fish away."
Xiaocao was so frightened that she closed her mouth until most of the fish ran in and lifted the basket with force.
Looking at the white fish, I was so happy that I couldn’t open my mouth from ear to ear.
