Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 311
All the way up the canal, the migrating fish are crowded under the one-meter-square waterfall, constantly surging.

The bicycle was parked by the side of the road, and the four of Zongya were either standing on the concrete ditch or stepping on the mud by the stream, watching the fish below.

The bluish-black fish bodies were out of the water, crowded with each other, densely packed, the closer to the bottom of the waterfall, the fiercer the competition.

"A lot of fish..." Akane Kirino was the closest, and she didn't know how many times she repeated the same words.

Hongzi stood beside her, also staring at her intently: "It's really so many, it feels a little disgusting to be crowded together... goosebumps are about to stand up."

Sogu glanced at her, "Then you still watch."

It seemed that she had been staring at it for too long, and her eyes were dry. She finally blinked, "Although it feels a little disgusting, I just want to keep watching."

"I understand, I understand." Akane Kirino nodded repeatedly with a sympathetic look, "This is the so-called 'surprise hunting psychology'."

"Uh-huh."

Zongya looked down, there were at least hundreds of unknown fish gathered here along the water flow, and they were not small in size, crowding the source of the canal, and many fish were lining up and crowding forward behind.

The height difference forms a waterfall, and he can step up such a drop with one foot, but it is a natural barrier for the fish swimming in the water, and no fish can jump over the waterfall.

"what fish is this?"

"Wild crucian carp, right?...It's not carp anyway...it shouldn't be?"

Crucian carp and carp are of the same class, order and family, and are very similar. Akane Kirino didn't know much about them, and she couldn't be sure.

After looking at it for a while, she said, "Fill one up and have a look."

"I didn't bring any tools, how to fish."

Akane Kirino looked left and right, except for two bicycles on the side of the road, she couldn't even see a wooden stick.

"I'll go down and fish it myself."

The water in the ditch is very shallow, no more than half a meter deep, but slightly turbulent.

Zongya shook his head, knowing that she would not give up this plan easily, "Let me go down."

"Be careful."

He took off his shoes, supported the concrete walls on both sides, and slowly stepped into the ditch to stand firm.The bottom of the water was already crowded, but at this time two feet fell from the sky, and the surging fish crowded even harder.

After the heavy rain, the water flow was a bit turbid and he could not see clearly. The cold and greasy body of the fish stuck to his calf and kept rubbing against it. Sogu immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him standing still, Akane Kirino asked.

"fine……"

Sogu bent down, took a few glances, reached out his hand into the water, and easily grabbed a blue-black fish by his leg.

Afraid that Akane Kirino would not be able to catch it, he specially selected it. The fish he caught was not too big, and the strength of the body swing after being caught by him was also within the controllable level.

The body of the fish was slippery, he grasped it with both hands, and observed it for himself first.

His interest in aquatic life is only in the desire of tongue, and he also doesn't know any fish, he just feels that it is not like the carp that he usually sees more.

He was observing, and the fish eyes were also staring at him, the body kept swaying, the fish lips were wide open and slightly opened and closed.

"Put me back, you stupid human, the ocean will conquer the world..."

"..."

Soya glanced at Akane Kirino, who was pinching her throat, and passed the fish over.

"Catch it."

"Uh-huh!"

She also grabbed it with both hands, for fear that it would break free.And the moment she touched it, the cold and slippery feel still made her tremble.

"Wow... Hongzi, look..."

Exposed to the air, the fish swayed violently, and Akane Kirino couldn't hold it with both hands, so she had to put it on the ground and watch it bounce continuously on the ground.

"It should be crucian carp." Hongzi searched for pictures of crucian carp on her mobile phone, compared them, and found that there was not much difference.

"It's crucian carp." Akane Kirino came to a conclusion, then held down the fish on the ground, grabbed it with some difficulty, and threw it back into the ditch.

Just as Zonggu was about to come up, she suddenly had another idea: "I've seen on TV that salmon migrate to lay eggs. Are these crucian carp swimming up to reproduce upstream?"

"probably."

He looked at the crucian carp at his feet, and after only a few minutes, he got used to the cold and slippery touch, "It can't be for fun."

"But now they can't go up." Akane Kirino pointed at the turbulent waterfall, "What should I do?"

"What else can I do, of course I can only accept it."

Soya looked at her, "This is just a choice. If Kirino hadn't been admitted to Dangao, he would have settled for the next best thing and went to another high school that is guaranteed."

Akane Kirino was taken aback.

"These crucian carp are the same, or it is more tragic, because Tongye can pass the Dangao through hard work, but no matter how hard they try, they can only get closer to the waterfall in the crowded waters. They are born in this piece of water that can't go back. fate."

She looked down at the crucian carp in the water, "It's really miserable..."

Zongya realized that he had said some redundant words, "Of course, this is just our human thinking. And these crucian carp are just acting according to their instincts."

"I want to change their fate."

"Only humans do this... what?"

Akane Kirino pointed to the natural moat on the waterfall, "I want to help them turn over."

"..."

Looking at the hundreds of crucian carp in the ditch, Zonggu felt that it would be more effective to let her retreat in spite of the difficulties, rather than persuasion.

"Come on, I'll be there to witness. Hongzi, remember to take a photo of Master Kirino, the savior of crucian carp, no, video."

Hongzi smiled, took out the phone she had just put away, and aimed at Akane Kirino.

"..."

Akane Kirino stuck out her tongue, made a face at the camera, and puffed her mouth at Soya, "Soya, come help me too."

Sogu bent down, picked up a lively crucian carp at her feet, and threw it into the upstream river with force, making a splashing sound, and then told her that this was all she could do.

"Another one?"

Sogu ignored it, supported it with both hands, lifted his body up, and climbed up.

After putting on his shoes, he said, "Unless the embankment is dug, this is the end of the migration of these crucian carp."

"Can't you dig it out?" Akane Kirino asked.

"Are you ready to be sued?" Soya asked back.

She curled her lips and muttered something, but he didn't catch it.

Chao Wuling, who had been squatting by the ditch watching, picked up a thin wooden stick with chopsticks and threw it into the ditch: "Building a channel in the water can change their fate."

Akane Kirino was startled, then her eyes lit up, "Yes!"

"However, what are we going to use to build the passage?" She looked around, from the side of the road to the bicycle, and then to the raincoat in the basket, "There seems to be nothing here."

Chao Wuling stood up, raised his finger and pointed to the road he had just passed, "There is a wooden plank in the grass over there, I noticed it when I came here just now, maybe it can be used."

Akane Kirino nodded, got on her bicycle and passed.Her eyes swept across the grass on the side of the road, and she soon gained something.

Clipping the short plank she picked up behind her, she rode back again.

"This is it."

"Ah."

The wooden board in her hand seemed to have been removed from an old door panel. It was more than ten centimeters wide and less than half a meter long.

Akane Kirino took a wooden plank and walked to the diversion of the canal to have a look, thinking about how to build the passage to change fate, "One wooden plank seems not enough..."

"Stone?" Hongzi behind him suddenly said.

She turned her head and saw Zongya moving a heavy stone from across the road.

Putting the stone by the side of the ditch, he took off his shoes and went down again.

"give me."

Kirino Akane handed him the board.

Put the wooden plank on the exit of the cement culvert pipe, and the falling waterfall immediately becomes much smaller, and most of the stream flows down the wooden plank.

"Sure enough, it's still a little shorter." Kirino Akane said.The length of the wooden planks is limited, one end is placed on the cement culvert pipe, and the other end is placed in the water channel, forming a steep angle.

"enough."

Soya stepped on the wooden board with one foot, fixed it, and lifted the stone.

"Not every salmon can return to the place where it was originally born as it wishes. Luck is very important, and its own ability is even more important."

Akane Kirino seemed to understand, "Oh..."

Before the wooden plank was placed, some crucian carp had already swam upwards along the current, but most of them were washed down by the current halfway, or lost their way, stuck their heads in the air, and fell into the ditch again.

Pressing the lower end of the plank with a stone, Soya bent down and made some minor adjustments to ensure that the plank would not fall off in a short time, and then climbed ashore again.

"Satisfied."

"I still think the plank is too steep." Akane Kirino looked at the plank that diverted the stream, "Is there really a fish that can swim upstream at this angle...Ah!"

A crucian carp swam up in front of her, plunged into the concrete culvert, and disappeared.

She hurriedly ran to the exit at the other end of the cement culvert, and waited with her head down. Soon she jumped up and down, looking back at the other three people.

"Swim up!"

Nodding towards Kirin, Soya smiled.

She came back here and continued to observe.

Sensing the change in the water flow, crucian carp swarmed under the boards and rushed upstream. Few of them managed to swim to the highest point and slip into the cement culvert pipe.

"Just a little bit, just a little bit... Hey."

thump.

Another crucian carp fell down.

Akane Kirino's heart also fell to the bottom, and she forgot about it in the next second, worrying about another fish that was competing for a swim.

"It would be nice if the board was bigger." She kept saying this, even though the people around her didn't respond.

Zongya was judging whether his actions would affect the smoothness of the canal. After all, he threw a large stone into it, and when the water flow became smaller, it was easy to cause blockage due to various garbage washed down from the upstream;

Hongzi frowned, and was wiping the rainwater on the grass blades by the roadside with his fingers, wiping off the mud spots on his thighs, and looked at Wuling beside him.

"Forget it, the stones and boards are not fixed anyway, and it's easy to clean them up, so it shouldn't matter much..."

You can't have your cake and eat it too, right now Akane Kirino will not agree to withdraw this "bridge", Soya can only comfort herself like this.

"Six." Akane Kirino said suddenly.

Zongya understood that this was the number of crucian carp that swam up smoothly, which was pitifully small compared to the total number of hundreds.

"That's it." She stretched her waist, as if watching them work hard, she also paid corresponding hard work, "Although it is difficult, at least it is not as hopeless as before, right?"

Soya nodded.

"Then go back, Savior."

"Hee hee, good."

They stayed here for more than ten minutes, then got back on their bicycles, and Hongzi sat on Zongya's back seat.Chao Wuling didn't say anything, turned around and sat on Akane Kirino's bicycle.

Turn the corner and go straight ahead is the way back.

After riding in the muddy fields for more than half an hour, the return road was wide and flat, and naturally it was easier to ride. In less than 10 minutes, a few people returned to Yuanqiao's house.

Soya and Akane Kirino went to the back to park the car, and Hongzi went to say goodbye to her grandmother when she got home, and then learned that her mother had called just now.

She kept her mobile phone with her all the time, and her mother didn't contact her, so there was nothing urgent, but she still used her grandma's landline to make a call back.

"Mom, I'm back... Well, I went out. I went out after the rain stopped, so I didn't play in the water."

Holding the phone, Hongzi wanted to go to Yuanside, but seeing Chao Wuling sitting there, she walked back to the living room.

After saying a few words, Mrs. Yoshikawa asked without reason: "How is it?"

Hongzi: "...what."

Mrs. Yoshikawa: "What does Hongzi think?"

Hongzi: "..."

Hongzi: "It's still the same."

Mrs. Yoshikawa: "Sure enough... just remember enough is enough."

Hongzi: "Enough is enough, it's really over."

Mrs. Yoshikawa: "If it's too ugly, maybe you won't even have to be friends? It's embarrassing to stay in the same class for at least two semesters. If the second grade is also assigned to the same class..."

Hongzi: "Ah, stop talking!"

She stamped her feet, Kirino Akane and Soya, who had just come back from behind, stopped to look at her for a while.

"..."

Hongzi took the phone and walked out of the living room.

Mrs. Yoshikawa: "Okay, I won't talk anymore. Take care of grandma. Dad and I will pick you up the day after tomorrow."

"understood……"

He deliberately came out to avoid it, but hung up the phone after only saying a word, and Hongzi stood alone in the corridor for a while.

How much does it have to be ugly?
Obviously he can't be ruthless enough to completely reject her. It's a natural choice to persist, right?
But failure seems to be doomed: he can't completely reject her, and he can't reject another person he likes at all.

And now there is another option, even if she can't monopolize him, she can still share it with them...

"..."

Hongzi suddenly woke up and patted his face.

"It's not good...I haven't given up yet. I can't give up yet. It's all because Ling said that strange thing...why can I say that so naturally."

She really didn't understand what kind of compensation was needed to allow Ling to share her beloved childhood sweetheart with them.

If the identities were switched and she was his childhood sweetheart, then she would definitely drive away all the other girls around him, and then monopolize him...

【"...If your good friend Qian also likes him, do you want to fulfill her, or fulfill yourself?"】

Another sentence she said suddenly popped up in her mind, and at the same time, all the things she witnessed with her own eyes yesterday, Hongzi suddenly felt powerless and didn't want to think about it any more.

She didn't expect that she would bear the consequences of her own actions so soon, and she suddenly understood Soya's thoughts.

"Perhaps maintaining the status quo is the best choice..."

After staying in a daze for a while, she put the phone back and planned to return to the living room, but remembered that the mud spots on her legs hadn't been completely cleaned up, so she turned and went to the bathroom.

After taking off the shower head and adjusting it to a suitable temperature, Hongzi rinsed her legs for a while, and there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

"Hongzi is indeed here." Akane Kirino walked in and smiled at her, "There is mud on my thighs, I have to wash it off too."

"it is good……"

Feeling that she was almost finished washing, Hongzi passed the nozzle over directly, and she took it, but she didn't start to rinse her body, but turned her around.

"It's also on the back of the thighs. Hongzi didn't notice it. I'll wash it for you."

Hongzi turned around, and Akane Kirino squatted down, holding the nozzle in one hand, and wiped back and forth with the water on her legs with the other hand, completely cleaning the mud spots.

"It feels so good..."

Her hands stroked the inner sides of her thighs, "It's neither skinny nor fat, with a little flesh. It must be very comfortable to hold your head between such thighs."

"Xi..."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Akane Kirino raised her head and smiled at her, "I accidentally said something strange. It's a good thing Soya is not here, otherwise I will be called nonsense again."

Just as Hongzi was about to say it's okay, when he heard Soya's name, he fell silent again.

"But I'm serious."

The mud on the legs had been washed away, Kirino Akane patted the softest part of the back of the thighs, stroking up and down.

"It feels really good...I kind of want to be pinched by Hongzi's thigh."

"...Let's talk later."

Hongzi pursed her lower lip, she didn't take it seriously at all, and she didn't have the heart to care, "It's my turn to help Qian wash."

"Okay."

Handing the nozzle to her, Akane Kirino stood up.

She rode the bike ahead and got even more mud spots. She didn't wash it on the way back, and it was still on her legs.Hongzi didn't care about anything else, and was going to clean her up first.

Akane Kirino was enjoying the service, and suddenly said, "Did Hongzi just call her mother?"

"Ah."

"Sure enough. Soya said that Hongzi was acting like a spoiled child to her mother."

"He doesn't know anything..."

"I think Soya looks a little envious."

"..."

Hongzi opened his mouth, and swallowed the rest of the words.

Akane Kirino continued, "For Soya, Suzu should be the only family member right now."

"Hmm..." She wanted to say that her childhood sweetheart and her family were still somewhat different, but then she thought that the two had lived in the same room for seven or eight years, so she fell silent again.

Thinking of the kind of future she was looking forward to, Kirino Akane's eyes were firm.

"When I get there, I will also be Soya's family."

"..."

Hongzi raised his head all of a sudden, and even raised the nozzle in his hand.

The determination on Akane Kirino's face turned into panic.

"Water, water, water!"
