Leisurely monastic life

Chapter 13 Raising Loach

When Luo Tianwang returned home, Luo Baolin smiled and showed him a basin: "Tianwang, look, what is this?"

Luo Tianwang stretched his head over to take a look, there was a bowl of loach in the basin.

"Did you catch so many loach again today?" Luo Tianwang blinked his eyes in surprise.What kid doesn't like fish?
"I'll let grandma fry it for you later. I'll let you eat as much as you want," Luo Baolin said.

"It would be great if I could raise it, raise a pond, and eat it whenever I want." Luo Tianwang said whimsically.

"This loach is not easy to keep. It will all run away once it hits the water." Luo Baolin shook his head.

"Then let's eat half and raise the other half, okay?" Luo Tianwang still wanted to raise loaches.The child's enthusiasm came, and he really didn't give up until he hit the south wall.

"Tianwang wants to raise it, so you let him raise it. When you turn around, you can tidy up the pond at the head of the house, close the water, and then you can raise loaches. If you want to eat, don't you know how to catch some?" Xiao Chunxiu now loves this grandson It has won by a few more points.I'm afraid that he will be wronged a little bit.

Luo Baolin smiled helplessly: "That's fine. If you want to raise it, you can raise it. But grandparents don't know how to raise loaches."

"I'm learning how to raise it." Luo Tianwang happily carried the basin and was about to walk out the door.

"Hey, what are you doing now?" Luo Baolin quickly stopped Luo Tianwang.

"Put the loach in the pond and raise it." Luo Tianwang looked at Luo Baolin with some puzzlement.

"If you raise it like this now, if it rains, all the loaches will run away. Let them be raised at home first. After grandpa fixes the pool, put the loaches in," Luo Baolin said.

Originally, loach has a strong vitality, and if there is a little water in the basin, it will not die.But at night, Luo Tianwang, who watched the loaches from time to time, found that there was something wrong with some of the loaches, maybe they were injured when they were caught.

Luo Tianwang can regard this loach as the beginning of his career. Is it easy for a kid to finally have a promising career?Luo Tianwang scratched the back of his head anxiously.

"By the way, since that character can heal wounds, it should also be able to heal these loaches." Luo Tianwang said to himself.

A green character condensed and melted into the basin containing the loach in a flash.

The loach in the basin immediately became alive as if it had been injected with chicken blood, and it kept turning in the basin.Those loaches that looked a little turned white turned out to be completely changed, not what they were before.

Luo Tianwang showed a smile on his face: It really works!
Xiao Chunxiu watched his grandson guarding the basin all afternoon, took Luo Baolin's hand, and said in a low voice, "Look at how caring he is. Hey, I haven't dozed off this afternoon."

"Maybe it's because the loach was so focused that it didn't doze off. He likes raising it, so let him raise it. The big deal is that this catty of loach was released alive. It's not a big loss anyway." Luo Baolin said with a smile.

In fact, loach is not cheap these days, it is even more expensive than meat.The eel that was thrown on the ground and no one picked it up was more expensive than the loach.Even in Shuikoumiao Town, the price is not cheap.Wild loaches like this one caught in the fields are not necessarily available for purchase.But for Luo Baolin and Xiao Chunxiu, a healthy grandson would not be exchanged for gold or silver.

Taking advantage of the free time in the evening, Luo Baolin took a hoe and repaired the pool at the head of the house.Mainly, the earth embankment around the pool was heightened and reinforced to prevent water leakage.Cleaned up the pool again.Then go to the canal to attract water.Fill up the pool.

"Now you can put the loach in." Luo Baolin didn't feel tired at all, as long as he saw the smile on his grandson's face, he would be motivated to do anything.

Luo Tianwang happily ran over with the basin, and dumped the loach in the basin into the pond.Interestingly, after the loach is poured into the pond, under normal circumstances, as long as the loach adapts to the water a little, it will quickly disperse and find places to hide.These loaches stayed together for a long time, as if they were reluctant to part.

Luo Baolin stirred the water with a hoe, and the loaches dispersed separately.After a while, the loaches jumped up excitedly in the water.

"Hey, why is this loach so lively?" Luo Baolin scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.But he didn't know that Luo Tianwang had used characters to heal the loach.

At night, Luo Tianwang couldn't fall asleep thinking about the loach.But after tossing on the bed for a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

When Luo Tianwang woke up in the morning, Luo Baolin and Xiao Chunxiu had already gone to the fields to harvest rice.As soon as Luo Tianwang got up, he ran towards the small pool.In the morning, when the loach is also very active, some loach jump out of the water from time to time.Luo Tianwang went back and got some rice bran, sprinkled it in the pond, a layer of rice bran floated in the pond, but the loach didn't have much interest in rice bran.Luo Tianwang washed his hands in the pond. Interestingly, some loaches swam over, kept swimming beside Luo Tianwang's finger, bumping into Luo Tianwang's finger from time to time.

What surprised Luo Tianwang even more was that more and more loaches swam over.They scrambled around Luo Tianwang's hands, and Luo Tianwang held several loaches with both hands. These loaches not only did not run away, but also enjoyed lazily lying in Luo Tianwang's hands.
"Tianwang, stop playing, come back and help grandma cook." Xiao Chunxiu yelled in the kitchen.

Then Luo Tianwang reluctantly put the loach back into the pond.

Luo Tianwang walked for a long time before the loaches that gathered dispersed.

They use a wood-fired stove for cooking. In fact, Xiao Chunxiu can do it by himself, but Xiao Chunxiu wants Luo Tianwang to do something.

Sitting in front of the stove, Luo Tianwang froze for a moment.There are so many red spots here.The red light spot seems to be dancing on the flame in the stove. The bigger the fire, the more active the red light spot is.It's just that these red light spots are too active, very few red light spots got into Luo Tianwang's air pocket, but quickly ran out again.Luo Tianwang couldn't keep the red light spot in the air pocket at all.

Luo Tianwang took a look at the place where the tortoise shell was placed before, and the tortoise shell was gone!
"Grandma, where did that tortoise shell go?" Luo Tianwang said anxiously.

"Isn't it under the cupboard?" Xiao Chunxiu glanced under the cupboard, and the tortoise shell was indeed gone, "Maybe it's where your grandfather took it."

Luo Tianwang immediately ran out and found Luo Baolin: "Grandpa, where did you hide that tortoise shell?"

"At home, I put it away, and I'll find it for you when I get home. You're so anxious. Let's go, let's go back and have breakfast." Luo Baolin packed up his things, and led Luo Tianwang towards the house.
