After that, everyone quietly ate the porridge in their bowls, and no one said anything.

Qingyan still observed Xiao Danniang and saw that she did not keep serving rice and vegetables to Li Laifu like she did yesterday.

Now he eats his own food quietly, which is very different from yesterday. He finishes his meal quickly, and after they all finish eating, he starts clearing the table, dishes and chopsticks.

Qingyan was a little happy, it seemed to have worked, because this situation made the old lady and Li Laifu look at Xiao Danniang several times while eating, and Li Huier also looked at her mother several times.

He didn't know why she was so different today. Li Laifu worriedly asked her if she felt uncomfortable and if she wanted to go to the medical clinic and see a doctor.

When she saw Li Hui'er this morning, Qingyan remembered that she had forgotten something yesterday and did not hypnotize her together. The two women's temperaments were so similar that Xiao Danniang might have successfully brainwashed her.

Then I thought again, now Xiao Danniang has changed, maybe in the future, Li Huier will also change subtly. When the time comes, letting her mother slowly teach her may be better than hypnosis. That is sincere and I think from the bottom of my heart. What needs to be changed is that hypnosis is an external force after all.

After confirming that his wife was indeed fine, Li Laifu cleaned up after dinner and went to the shop. Although Xiao Danniang also asked him to pay attention to safety, she did not send him to the courtyard door as diligently as usual, but directly Went into the kitchen and got busy.

Aunt Xiao looked at her daughter-in-law with a thoughtful look on her face.

Qingyan deliberately asked Aunt Xiao: "Auntie, what's wrong? But what's the problem?"

Aunt Xiao looked at her and said directly: "Danniang is a little strange today. I don't know if she was worried about the bandits not coming back a few days ago. It's not right. She wasn't like this yesterday. It's quite normal. Today Why did it change all of a sudden?"

After all, no one changes overnight, so Aunt Xiao didn't think that Xiao Danniang had changed. First of all, she thought that there was something wrong with her body, so she suddenly stopped focusing on her son.

Afraid that she would have random thoughts, Qingyan comforted her: "Maybe Sister-in-law Danniang suddenly figured out that she shouldn't neglect her own health to be good to Brother Li, not to mention that she wanted to give Brother Li a son as soon as possible.

Aunt Xiao shook her head. She had known Xiao Danniang for more than a day or two. If she wanted to have a son, she would have changed her mind. After all, she had said this often.

Anyway, she couldn't see anything right now, so she decided to take another look and talk about it, so she could always figure out what was going on.

"Forget it, leave her alone. Today I will take you to play. I won't take them with you. Just let them look after the house at home."

We had agreed before that we would take them fishing in the Congzhu River and the Wawa Lake. They planned to go fishing in the Congzhu River in the morning. If they caught fish, they could add a side dish to their meal at noon. All the fish they bought before were Already done.

After lunch, we will go to Wawa Lake to play in the afternoon, so we have plenty of time.

Aunt Xiao didn't plan on staying with them for just one day. After visiting these two places, it would take at least two days. She couldn't rush at night. She would definitely have to stay one more night.

Qingyan also knew that she had previously thought of leaving after visiting the Congzhu River and Wawa Lake here, but now that she thought about it, it was not realistic, at least she would definitely not be able to leave today.

As for Wawa Lake, they don't necessarily have to waste time exploring there today. They can pretend to leave first, and then go back there to see what's going on there, or they can just let Chou Chou use his spiritual sense to explore, which is just more troublesome. .

After all, Chou Chou's formation attainments are not as high as Jin Yang's. If there is any formation barrier there, you have to go there in person to discover it. Otherwise, there will be no situation where the spiritual consciousness has been isolated several times before.

Of course, it's possible that they were overthinking it. Maybe there was nothing there, just a legend, a stone shaped like a doll.

This kind of coincidence is not unheard of. For example, in the stone forest scenic spots of later generations, the stones there are all kinds of strange, and not all shapes.

After putting on the clothes for going out, they took the boom and the wooden bucket and set off. As for the bait, they didn't need to bring it at all. They just found a place to dig a few earthworms when they got there. The land near the water was relatively moist, and it didn't freeze here. , the ground can be dug even after the New Year.

It was colder by the water than in the town, so Aunt Xiao still asked them to put on thick clothes.

Xiao Danniang and Li Huier did not follow them, only Aunt Xiao took them alone.

Qingyan also understood that after all, they couldn't delay other people's business. They were just having fun, and they couldn't stay with them all the time. The two of them might have to go to the shop to help clean up.

He and the others followed Xiao Danniang and left first, but Qingyan also kept observing Xiao Danniang with her spiritual consciousness to see if there would be any changes in her today.

As a result, she discovered that Li Hui'er went to the store with her father, but Xiao Danniang did not. Instead, she washed her hands and face again, and rummaged through the cabinets to find an unpatched piece of clothing and put it on.

Qingyan was still thinking, could this be the first step in changing and knowing how to treat herself better? I haven't seen you wearing tattered clothes.

It turned out that it was not the case. After getting dressed, she walked to the bed and took out a statue of a god from a box next to it.

He placed the idol on the table, took out an incense burner, a candle and three incense sticks, then lit the candles and started to light incense. After lighting the incense, he inserted it into the incense burner, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed while chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Is this bathing and changing just for the purpose of burning incense and worshiping Buddha? When Qingyan took a closer look at the statue, she almost laughed out loud.

Okay! This guy was pretending to be a concubine, and she understood that he was eager to have a son. After all, even if he was hypnotized and treated her well, it would not be inconsistent with the idea of ​​having a son.

In ancient times, only by giving birth to a son could one establish a firm foothold in the husband's family, have someone to rely on in the future, and also leave a brother to help Li Hui'er.

This was understandable in ancient times, but the question is, what Buddhist scriptures are you reciting to Bixia Yuanjun!

Bixia Yuanjun is a Taoist. If you recite Buddhist scriptures to him, it would be strange if he really has a spirit and can bless you.

Thinking about it, it seems that I have to remind her in a subtle way when I go back. Of course, it is more realistic to tell her directly that she should improve her nutrition and condition her body. As long as her body is well, having children is natural.

However, it is good to have sustenance and faith in your heart. For a person, if you have faith in your heart, you will not be too arrogant.

But Qingyan was really anxious to find someone to share this joke about the couple reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Then she started communicating with Jin Yang and Chou Chou Huang Jin and said this. Jin Yang and Chou Chou laughed in the space, while Jin Yang glared at her with smiles in his eyes.

Seeing Aunt Xiao standing next to her again, she held back her laughter, otherwise Aunt Xiao would have thought she was crazy, so she suddenly burst into laughter.

Jin Yang held Yuan Bao in his arms when he went out. He felt Jin Yang suddenly shake twice and looked at it inexplicably. If it hadn't known that Jin Yang's true form was the Golden Crow, it would have thought it was cold. The Golden Crow is the sun, so it won't be cold even if someone is cold.

Just being held in its arms feels warm and a bit hot. If it hadn't been for its short legs, which made it difficult to move around quickly, it would have asked itself to get off.

The group of people quickly walked out of the town. There was a path heading north. They walked on the path for another ten minutes and arrived at the Congzhu River.

The place where Aunt Xiao took them should be a place where people often come to fish or catch fish. The place walking towards the river is paved with stone slabs, like steps, but wider.

In this way, it will be more stable to stand on it and avoid being slipped into the water by the mud on the riverside.

There are even several stone piers not far from the water. The tops are very flat. You can put a cushion on them and use them as stools.

Qingyan thought, if she had known there were stone piers here, she would have just brought a few cushions, but now they came almost empty-handed, with nothing else except fishing rods and buckets, and suddenly a few cushions appeared like Not quite right.

As a result, Aunt Xiao walked to a willow tree not far away, untied a hemp rope from the trunk, and then a bamboo basket with an oilcloth cover fell from the tree.

Judging from the appearance of the bamboo baskets, they must be old and dark gray.

Aunt Xiao directly opened the lid and took out a few straw mats. The straw mats looked like they were often used by people, and they were quite clean.

Just listen to Aunt Xiao say: "This is a place where people in our town often come to catch fish. There is no village nearby and it is relatively remote, so there are basically no other people coming.

I haven't been here for a few years, but it's still the same here, nothing has changed.

In the past, my eldest and second son often came here to fish with their father. But then my old man passed away, so we didn’t come here much anymore.

Every year, many people from the town still come here to fish when they have nothing to do, but most of them come when the weather is warm, and very few people come at this time.

I was the first to make these things. Later, after they stopped coming, other people would come over and use them. When they were used up, they would put them back in their original places. If they were broken, someone would replace them with new ones, so everyone who comes here knows where these things are. "

Qingyan was just thinking that Aunt Xiao hadn't been back for a few years, and she actually knew that there were these things here. It turned out that they were all for public use here.

After looking at the wear and tear of the basket and the mat, I saw that the basket must be a few years old and the mat must have been there for less than a year at most. I thought someone must have replaced it in the meantime.

Taking the mat from Aunt Xiao, put the slightly dirty side underneath, with the clean side facing up.

Qingyan sat on it and tried it. Well, although it wasn't particularly soft, at least it wasn't ice-cold anymore.

After that, they all went to the land nearby and found a small stick to dig out earthworms. It was not far away, so you can just find a stick.

Yuanbao also went to the ground by himself, squatting next to Qingyan, sticking his butt out and digging a hole, working harder than Qingyan.

Although it's just spring, the land here is very soft and won't freeze at all, so it's still easy to dig earthworms.

It's just that the earthworms dug out are different from those in the north. The earthworms here seem to be thicker. If you didn't know that the earthworms you dug up are earthworms, you would have thought they were some kind of mutated bugs.

A few people dug a small pile and stopped digging. They used it first. There are a lot of earthworms down here anyway. You can dig them out at any time when you are done.

Qingyan returned to the river first, occupied a position at the edge, hung the earthworm on the fishhook, and threw it directly into the water.

The fishing rod in his hand is just a thin bamboo pole, and the fishing line is just a few strands of silk thread, which is relatively strong.

There is no fish floating in the middle. You can only tell whether there is a fish by feeling or when the fish runs along the line.

Anyway, it cannot be like fishing in later generations. You can put the pole there and wait for it to float before lifting it up. Now you have to hold it tightly at all times to prevent the fish from being pulled away.

I don’t know whether it’s because there are too many fish in the river, or because there are few people fishing here this month. Anyway, not long after I put it down, the fish bit the hook.

Because they wanted to experience the fun of fishing, neither Qingyan nor Jin Yang used their spiritual consciousness to observe the situation at the bottom of the water. Instead, they waited for the fish to bite the hook and run away with the fishing line before raising the pole.

With the strength of the two of them, of course they can pull it up easily, but the silk thread is not as strong as the fishing line after all, so they still have to slip the fish for a while, and then pull the fish up after the fish has no strength.

Qingyan was the first to catch a fish, and soon Jinyang also caught one. The fish were not very big, only weighing one or two kilograms, otherwise the fishing line and rod would not be able to hold it at all.

Although Aunt Xiao caught the fish behind them, she was the biggest. She caught a grass carp weighing nearly three pounds.

Yuanbao squatted by the bucket and watched the fish play, and from time to time he would use a small branch in his hand to pull it. Because Qingyan was afraid that it would wet her clothes, she was not allowed to use her hands and could only use branches.

When it was almost ten o'clock, they finally filled up the bucket. Because they only took one bucket, they couldn't continue.

But it's still a little early to go back now, and they plan to play here for a while longer.

Aunt Xiao said that sometimes you can pick up wild duck eggs in the reeds next to it. You just saw a few wild ducks flying away, so you can go in and have a look.

So they planned to go inside to find a "treasure", and if there was any, they could add another dish for lunch.

They put the mat back in place and placed the fish bucket and fishing rod next to the reeds. There was no one here anyway, and they were not afraid of anyone taking it away, so they went into the reeds together.

Although the reeds are green at this time, there are no reed flowers growing, so there is no need to worry about getting hairy on them.

Since it was a treasure hunting game, they had to have fun, so Qingyan and Jin Yang still didn't use their spiritual senses, they just pulled the reeds and looked for them with their heads down.

The same goes for Yuanbao. It followed Qingyan and looked for someone in a decent way, which made Aunt Xiao keep praising it.
