designer who lives in the next room

"A divine beast." Li Zixi waved his hand, "I mean you are very powerful, as powerful as a divine beast."

After Li Zixi finished speaking, she hugged Nana and ran back to the bedroom. She knew that if she continued to stay in the living room, Nanako would have to force her to ask her what a Pixiu is.

She wasn't worried about Nanako looking it up, after all, even Li Zixi couldn't write those two words, let alone Nanako.

"You can go out and play next week." Li Zixi lifted Nana into the air and looked at it, "Would you like to go with me, Nana-chan."

Volume [-]#Crab Box

When it comes to fishing, you have to take good sun protection measures, and use large and small cans of skin care products to rub on your face. Nanako doesn't want to become a "purple potato" again.

Having bought fishing rods and some simple baits earlier, Nanako and Li Zixi only wanted to go for an outing in late spring.A while ago, I have been busy in the city, and I see modern facilities and high-rise buildings every day. Now the two of us are sitting on the bus to the countryside, looking at the scenery of the villages and towns that is different from the city. It really has a special flavor.

There were very few people on the bus, and some of them were elderly people who had just visited relatives in the city. Each of them was carrying big bags and small bags, and they didn't know what was in them.Probably because the two are about the same age as their children, these old people are very concerned about them. At first, they asked them why they came to the country, and politely shared some country specialties with them.

These people were too enthusiastic, which made Nanako dare not collect their things in the end. The two people who traveled lightly now had two more plastic bags full of them.

The bus was driving slowly on the country road, bumping occasionally, turning a few turns, the vision in front of it suddenly became clear, a small river like a blue ribbon appeared in everyone's vision, next to it was green grass, and in the distance Mountains are also reflected on the river.

This is the destination of Li Zixi and Nanako, and it is very close to the bus station, which is very convenient for the two who didn't plan to spend the night here.Saying goodbye to the old people who had chatted with me just now, the two got out of the car with big bags and small bags.

The sun immediately sprinkled on the body, warm and comfortable.All the nose can smell is the fragrance of flowers and plants, and some green weeds are still stained with some wet dew.The two of them picked a place with low weeds and walked slowly. There seemed to be a small road before this place. Nanako walked in front and poked a few times with a wooden stick, and an uneven and bare land appeared.

"There won't be snakes here, right?" Li Zixi was also poking the grass on both sides with a wooden stick. This is a wild field in the countryside, so some weeds are quite tall.

"That's why I use wooden sticks like this." Nanako straightened her waist and stretched it a little. "Isn't there a saying in your hometown called 'beating grass to startle snakes'?"

"There is indeed such a saying." Li Zixi nodded, she remembered that she told Nanako a long time ago, "If I had known it was this kind of ground, I wouldn't have come here wearing white shoes."

"I reminded you." Nanako walked forward and said to Li Zixi without looking back. The road here is full of dew falling from the leaves of weeds. If it is wet and greasy, it will bring up some mud .

The hem of Li Zixi's little white shoes has turned a mud color, and she can even feel that her feet have become much heavier.But fortunately, the distance between the country road and the small river is not much, so even if the road is difficult, it only took the two of them ten minutes to walk there.

When we got to the riverside, the ground became much harder. There were no weeds here, and there were more pebbles washed up from the river, some of which were round and beautiful.When Nanako prepared her fishing rod and tied the bait, Li Zixi picked a few pieces from the ground and threw them into her schoolbag.

In her opinion, these are good decorations, much better looking than those bought in craft stores.

"Here." Nanako handed the fishing rod to Li Zixi, pointing to a place by the river, "Go and play, just be careful not to fall into the river."

Li Zixi, who had been preparing for fishing a few days ago, couldn't wait. She looked up a lot of fishing knowledge without telling the "fishing champion", trying to surprise her.

According to what was said in the book and the video, Li Zixi chose a place, took out the ponytail and started fishing.

The season is gradually approaching summer, and the water temperature has risen a lot. The fish are indeed much more active than in winter.In addition, this is a wild water area, no one will feed these fish, they have been hungry all winter, and they rushed over immediately after smelling the aroma of the bait.

The fish float was shaking up and down on the river surface, but no matter how Li Zixi lifted the pole, he couldn't fall into a fish.Nanako was quietly observing Li Zixi's movements. She thought that Li Zixi would become irritable if she lifted the pole a few times, but she seemed to have underestimated Li Zixi's endurance. Li Zixi never showed any signs of irritability. The more she couldn't catch the fish, the more she worked hard. With a serious face, she didn't even notice a small fish on Nanako's hook.

Nanako breathed a sigh of relief as she threw the fish into the bucket, temporarily retaining her title of "Champion Fishing".

Li Zixi finally became a little impatient after many, many attempts to raise the pole to no avail. She imagined Nanako asking for help, but she swallowed the words again.

If she wanted to surprise Nanako, she had to rely on herself.

But she is really a little irritable now, and Maza is not very comfortable, even her buttocks are numb after sitting for a long time.So she put the fishing rod aside, left the place and walked around casually.

The scenery in the countryside is very good, and fishing is not a hard target. Walking around here, taking pictures to see the beautiful scenery, this is the real purpose of coming here to relax.

"Tired?" Nanako turned her head to look at Li Zixi who ran to the side of a small river, still holding the fishing rod.

"A little bit." Li Zixi yelled at Nanako without turning her head, she seemed to have found something interesting, and then she squatted down, "I'll take a rest first, my back hurts."

The place here is small and relatively flat, as long as it is not close to the river, there will be no danger.Li Zixi is not a child anymore, she can distinguish what is allowed and what cannot be done, as long as she is still within Nanako's field of vision, there is nothing to worry about.

So Nanako enjoyed herself, she couldn't remember the last time she was so relaxed, three years ago or five years ago?The sun was shining warmly on her body, and there was also a breeze of nature blowing from the river. At this time, Nanako had completely ignored the float in front of her, and calmed down to look at the distant mountains.

The fish bobbed up and down on the water for a while and finally became silent, but Nanako didn't notice it at all.She stared blankly at the distant scenery, not knowing what she was thinking. From a distance, she seemed to blend in with the mountains and rivers, like a painting.

Such an exquisite picture continued until Li Zixi let out a scream.

The sudden sound made Nanako shudder, almost falling into the river with her fishing rod.Nanako, who stabilized her figure, immediately looked behind her. Li Zixi was sitting by the small river, shaking her hands vigorously.

All sorts of bad thoughts flooded Nanako's mind in an instant, she threw down the fishing rod and ran towards Li Zixi, praying in her heart that nothing would happen.

Nanako may have never run so fast in her life, when she got to Li Zixi's side, she took her hand to check without even asking.No trauma, only a red mark,

"Nanako?" Li Zixi looked at the flustered Nanako, the pain in her hands had already dissipated a lot.

"What happened?" Nanako was in a hurry, and even her voice was much louder.

She originally thought that Li Zixi was bitten by something like a snake, although there was no external injury, she was still worried.

"No, it's nothing..." Li Zixi withdrew her hand and shook her head, "I just got pinched."

"Caught it?" Nanako was puzzled.

Li Zixi took out a box from behind and handed it to Nanako. When she saw what was in the box, Nanako finally relaxed.

There is some river water in the box, and a palm-sized crab.

Li Zixi found it in this small river, it was lying under a rock.

Li Zixi, who had never caught a crab before, reached out to grab it, but she obviously underestimated the power of the pair of pliers.

The moment he took it out of the water, the pair of pliers grabbed Li Zixi's index finger tightly, and Li Zixi's scream was also because of this.

"Scared me to death." Nanako sat down on a stone slab and returned the box containing the crabs to Li Zixi, "How dare you reach out and grab this guy..."

Li Zixi, who now knows how scary crabs are, shook her head, "There will never be a next time, this thing is much scarier than watching it on the dining table."

An accidental episode, it was almost noon, Li Zixi made some bento before coming, and it was not completely cooled yet.Originally, Nanako wanted to help, she wanted to fry at least one egg, but she couldn't even crack an egg shell, so she was pushed aside by Li Zixi in the end.

The lunch I brought along with some specialties given by the old man on the bus, sitting by the river, this meal has a special flavor.

Li Zixi kept the caught crab by her side all the time, it was her trophy, and she wanted to take it home.

"Who do you think is more powerful, Nana or this guy?" Li Zixi asked suddenly, she remembered Nana's fearless appearance, since he had never seen a crab before, he would definitely go up and touch it with his claws.

"I think you'd better keep Nana away from it." Nanako raised her eyebrows and glanced at the clawed crab, thinking about Nana's little claws, "I don't think Nana will be the opponent of this thing."

"Then you think this crab should be edible?" Li Zixi changed the subject.

"I don't know." Nanako shook her head, "Most of the crabs I eat are from the sea, but the water here is quite clean and there is no pollution. As long as it is steamed and there are no parasites, there should be no problem."

"That's right." Li Zixi's eyes suddenly lit up. She doesn't like fish very much, but she likes crabs. If she can bring a bucket of crabs home, it would be a big meal. "Do you want to go home to eat tonight?" Crab?"

"Just this one?" Nanako shook the crab box disdainfully, "It's so small that it's not enough to fit between the teeth, and it's not the season to eat crabs, and river crabs don't have much meat."

"Nonono..." Li Zixi shook her head, "It's just that you don't know how to eat it. There are ways to eat meatless crabs, and who said that there is only such a crab in that river."

Volume [-]#She doesn't apologize and I decided to ignore her

Although this is a small river just above the ankle, it is also quite difficult to walk in it.

The stones here are not like the pebbles on the shore, not all of them are round and smooth, Li Zixi has to be very careful not to let her feet be scratched by the sharp stones.

Nanako is not very interested in catching crabs, but rather curious about another way of eating crabs that Li Zixi mentioned.This girl from the land of gourmet food always comes up with something that catches her eye.

She was still fishing, and her catch rate was not very high as she was not a veteran, but at least she had some harvest, and there were three or four fish in the bucket at her feet.From time to time, Nanako would turn her head to look at Li Zixi who was busy. She was groping underwater with the bucket in one hand, and was almost knocked over by the current occasionally, looking silly.

I don't know how many crabs Li Zixi can catch, maybe two or three.Time passed slowly, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

Surprisingly, Li Zixi really caught a lot of crabs, carrying a heavy bucket, and she kept showing off to Nanako.

Ever since Li Zixi discovered that crabs could be caught in the small river, she never went fishing again. Compared to the river where she could not see the bottom, she preferred to play in this clear small river.

If it was later, they would not be able to catch the bus home. There were only a few buses a day from the countryside to the city. Nanako and Li Zixi hurriedly packed up their equipment and returned by the same route, standing under the tree with the station sign and looking into the distance.

Although today is very relaxing, I am really tired after playing all day.It was better for Nanako to sit all the time, but Li Zixi, who had been running in the river all afternoon, was not so energetic.

She and Nanako found a clean big rock and sat down, Li Zixi leaned against Nanako and stretched out her hand, she couldn't open her eyes while she was carrying the bucket.

"When the car comes...remember to call me." Li Zixi didn't even have the strength to carry the bucket, so she simply put it on her feet, patted Nanako's hand and said to her.

Nanako nodded in agreement, thinking that the car would arrive soon, so it wouldn't be a problem for Li Zixi to sleep like this for a while.So she agreed to Li Zixi, held her hand and watched Li Zixi fall asleep beside her.

Originally, she thought that she would be able to get on the bus home after waiting at most ten minutes, but Nanako never thought that the wait would be more than an hour.No matter how far I looked toward the end of the road, I couldn't see the bus.

Nanako felt strange, she took out her notes to confirm, the last bus for today should have arrived four or ten minutes ago.

Li Zixi was still asleep, but Nanako couldn't hold on anymore. She had been sitting in the same position for more than an hour, her back was sore and her butt was numb, and she couldn't wait for the bus, which made her feel very flustered, so she had to shake awake Li Zixi.

"The car is coming?" Li Zixi asked before opening her eyes, but she couldn't hear the sound of the car.

So she opened her eyes and looked around. It was the same scene as before she closed her eyes, and there was no bus at all.

"It's not here yet, why did you wake me up?" Li Zixi didn't get enough sleep, she muttered to Nanako who woke her up.

"Wake up, wake up." Seeing that Li Zixi was about to fall asleep again, Nanako quickly shook her shoulders.Li Zixi shook her eyes a few times before she finally opened her eyes, and in front of her was Nanako with a slightly anxious expression.

Realizing what might have happened, she immediately cheered up and jumped off the rock, "What's wrong?"

Nanako asked her to look at the watch on her wrist, "The last bus should have arrived long ago."

Indeed, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was strange that there was no car for such a long time.

"If we didn't miss the bus, then there must be some accident on this country road." Nanako said to Li Zixi in an unbelievable tone. She put her hands on her head and looked around, wild mountains, wild waters, wild woods, " We might be ready to spend the night here."

There are often some accidents on country roads, such as small car accidents or landslides. It is better if it is a small car accident. If there are no casualties, it usually only takes a few hours to solve it, but if it is a landslide, it may not be solved in a day or two. open to traffic.

After hearing Nanako's words, Li Zixi was startled, spending the night here?

The scenery here looks really good now, the sunset reflects the afterglow on the river, and the whole river looks red.But once it’s night, it’s definitely a different scene here. Leaving aside the wild animals that move at night, it’s very difficult to spend the night safely by the river without lights.

"Why don't we go back?" Li Zixi didn't want to stay here for the whole night at all, and when she thought of the poisonous snakes and insects hidden in the depths of the grass, she felt terrified.

"It took us more than three hours to get here..." Nanako looked at Li Zixi with a haggard face, "And I don't know the way."

"Then what should I do?" Li Zixi covered her head with her hands, her head ached.

Nanako stared at the map on the phone and was silent for a while before speaking, "There is a small village not far along this road, maybe we can go there to spend the night."

As soon as she heard that she could stay in a place with a roof, Li Zixi picked up the bucket and prepared to set off without thinking, but Nanako stopped her.

She took some food from her bag and handed it to Li Zixi, motioning for her to eat some first.

"I'm not hungry." Li Zixi shook her head, she just woke up and didn't want to eat at all.

"You should eat something." Nanako directly stuffed the snacks into Li Zixi's hands, and then pointed to the direction to go, "It will take more than two hours to walk..."

Li Zixi's jaw almost dropped in astonishment, she never dreamed that she would be trapped in this place where there was no village and no shop.

Luckily someone was with her...

Originally, this road was difficult enough, and Li Zixi was still carrying half a bucket of crabs.

"Throw it away..." Nanako couldn't even speak when she left, she glanced at Li Zixi who was also struggling, "No, let's go back and buy some..."

"I don't!" This is Li Zixi's spoils of war today, and she will never give up unless it is absolutely necessary, "I can do it."

She said so but her body was very honest, and after walking out for more than half an hour, Li Zixi almost put the bucket on the ground and dragged her forward.

The sun had completely sunk, leaving only the moon hanging in the sky.There is not even a house on either side of this country road, let alone a street lamp.Nanako had already thrown the fish she caught back into the river, and now she took a mobile phone to illuminate the road under her feet.

The mobile phone had already issued a low-battery warning sound, so Nanako could only turn the flashlight of the mobile phone on and off for a while.The moon in the sky is quite bright, and you don't need to keep lighting it all the way along the road.

But today, the good luck of the two of them seemed to be sucked away. The sky that was still clear just now gradually became blurred, the wind was blowing, and the clouds were getting thicker and thicker.

The clouds that gradually gathered completely covered the moon, and now it was difficult to see the road under our feet.

Nanako looked up, her heart was half cold.

"It's over." Her voice began to cry, "It's going to rain."

"How long will it take to get there?" Li Zixi's brain hurt even more after saying this, and she hurriedly asked Nanako to look at the navigation.

"Let's take an hour..." Nanako was already hopeless at this time, if she hadn't been sane, she might have planned to lie down here, "and we are walking more and more slowly..."

"I regret coming here more and more today." Li Zixi complained, exhausted physically and mentally, she couldn't move anymore.

"Obviously you said you wanted to come here to fish." Nanako, who was also tired, spoke in a somewhat aggressive tone, and she was a little dissatisfied with Li Zixi's words, "I told you to throw those crabs back, I'm already too tired , you can only walk slower and slower with those things in your hands!"

"I said I don't want it!" Li Zixi opened Nanako's outstretched hand, and put the crab bucket behind her, "And what does your tone mean, do you blame me if you can't go home?"
