Chapter 312 The Use of Fishing Nets

The old woman glanced at her and said nothing.

Luo Mingchuan didn't mind either, she stared and looked around.

The whole house is built of wood, and although the roof and walls can be seen mottled by the years, they have been cleaned cleanly.

Through the small window on the wall, you can see the rolling green hills in the distance.Coupled with the sound of waves coming from time to time, it can be guessed that he is at the seaside.

However, this is also normal.If you are not a fisherman by the sea, how can you find yourself by the sea?
"Cuckoo"

A growling stomach broke the silence in the room.

"Hungry?" The old woman asked without raising her head, then put down the fishing net in her hand, got up and went outside.

When he came back, he was holding a black earthenware bowl in his hand.

Looking at the rice soup with a few grains of rice floating in it, Luo Mingchuan didn't say much, supported his body with his arms, took the bowl sideways, and finished it in a few sips.

After drinking it, not only did the stomach feel no comfort at all, but it made me even hungrier.

After the old woman delivered the bowl, she sat there and continued to play with the fishing net.

Luo Mingchuan's eyes flickered at her, and he swallowed the words when he reached his mouth.

She rested her arms on her pillow, and watched the movements of the old woman's hands without blinking her eyes, "Auntie, how many years have you been fishing with uncle?"

Old woman: "..."

Luo Mingchuan hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled warmly, "Auntie, how much money can you earn in a year like this?"

"You are like this, is it enough for life?"

"That's right, they all rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the sea to eat the sea. People like you, don't you just make a living by fishing?"

"By the way, ma'am, what day is it today? On what day did uncle pick me up?"

"Have I been falling asleep these days? Did I talk in my sleep or something?"

"Then has anyone come to see me? Or, has anyone inquired about me?"

No matter how dry Luo Mingchuan's mouth was, the other party still didn't respond.

"Mother, when will uncle come back?" She still asked unwillingly.

The old woman paused, pursed her lips, and continued to straighten the broken fishing net.

Luo Mingchuan: "Ma'am, isn't your net used for catching fish?! It doesn't matter if you don't talk, let me guess. Look, there are a few black spots on your net that have a Strong smell of blood."

The old woman was startled, she looked at Luo Mingchuan in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"

It seemed that he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly corrected it: "Hehe, are you hungry?!"

"Auntie, look at what you said." Luo Mingchuan complained as usual, "If I'm hungry, all I can smell is meat. How could it be blood?!"

The old woman looked at her fixedly, "Then why do you smell blood?"

"It's really blood?!" Luo Mingchuan raised his brows, and teased in a relaxed tone, "I just said that casually. I didn't expect it, but I really guessed it right. Whose blood is this?"

The old woman's eyes flickered, and her words flickered: "The blood of fish, whose blood can it be?"

Luo Mingchuan's eyes widened in surprise, "Ma'am, fish still bleed?! Could it be a mermaid?!"

A smug flash of the old woman's eyes said, "That's right, it's a mermaid."

"Really?" Luo Mingchuan's eyes widened in surprise, "Then how many mermaids have you caught so far?"

The old woman put down her work, turned her head and glanced at her, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Luo Mingchuan asked curiously, "Should I be afraid?"

The old woman looked at her seriously, her eyes full of scrutiny, "Are you really not afraid?"

Luo Mingchuan looked blank, "Auntie, what exactly are you trying to say, why can't I understand?!"

The old woman suddenly became interested, "You really don't understand?"

Luo Mingchuan shook his head honestly, "I really don't understand."

"Hehe!" The old woman chuckled and walked out.

Luo Mingchuan put down his arms and lay flat on the bed.After staring at the roof for a while, he looked out through the small window.Looking at it, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Is this girl stupid? !
When the old lady came in, she saw a pretty girl with a smile on her mouth, lying peacefully on the bed.

Looking at her carefree appearance, the old woman didn't know whether to laugh at her for being stupid or for being stupid.

The old woman sneered, then regained her composure, "Get up and eat something."

"Sure!" Luo Mingchuan's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Auntie, you are so kind!"

The old woman curled her lips, and a sarcasm flashed from her mouth, "Eat!"

"Is there any more?" Luo Mingchuan cleared up the rice soup in the bowl with two slaps, touched his shriveled stomach, "I'm not full."

The old woman said indifferently: "That's all!"

"That..." Luo Mingchuan opened his mouth, but couldn't say the words after that, "That, let's forget it."

The old woman snorted coldly and walked out with the bowl in hand.

"Sigh, if I lie down like this, my whole body will fall apart." Luo Mingchuan lay on the bed and hummed.

The old woman kept her head down and continued to straighten her net.Since the end of the conversation that day, the old woman has not spoken again, just like a mute.

Luo Mingchuan lay there, humming, but no one paid her any attention.

"Ma'am..." She was really bored, "You should say something!"

The old woman seemed to have no long ears, concentrating on tinkering with the fishing net in her hand.

"Ma'am." Luo Mingchuan asked unwillingly, "Why are you tinkering with fishing nets all day long?"

Old woman: "..."

"By the way, when will your fishing net come in handy?!"

The old woman turned her head to look at her, with a slightly picky tone, "Want to know?!"

"En!" Luo Mingchuan nodded vigorously, "I'm very curious!"

The corners of the old woman's mouth slowly raised, revealing a very creepy smile, "You'll know right away."

Oh!
Luo Mingchuan said lazily with a long voice: "I thought I had already used this net."

The old woman narrowed her eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"

Luo Mingchuan said with a sweet smile, "I thought you knew what I meant!"

What is this girl trying to say?
The old woman turned her head and glanced at her, but she didn't understand, so she turned her head and continued with her work.

"dong dong dong"

There was a sound like falling logs outside.

The old woman went out and came back with a black kiln bowl.

The bowl is still the same bowl, and the person serving the bowl is still the same, but the food inside is different.

"Wow, is there some rice to eat?" Luo Mingchuan's eyes almost fell out of excitement.Regardless of the image, he grabbed and ate it with his hands.
