The night is as cool as water, and stars are dotted across the vast sky.

This night seems particularly quiet.

With the faint light in Zhang Rishan's hand, Yin Xinyue only saw a petal sticking to her body.

The petals seemed to emit a light blue glow under the light. She wanted to ask what kind of flower it was that was so magical and more effective than mosquito repellent. But when she saw Jinnian's happy back, her curiosity was instantly replaced by laziness. It didn't matter what kind of flower it was, as long as it was useful.

Jinnian squeezed his palms excitedly, recalling the wonderful moment just now.

He could have directly helped Yin Xinyue to fix the bump on her arm, but he felt that would be a bit strange, so he used a little force and stuck the small petals that had had close contact with him onto Yin Xinyue's body.

He felt that doing so would make Yin Xinyue happier than solving the problem directly.

And the fact was just as he expected. Yin Xinyue was not bitten by mosquitoes in the second half of the night. She was in a good mood. However, the pleasant fragrance made her move her nose. She was not sure whether it came from the petals on her arm. She did not dare to touch the petals easily, for fear that it would lose its effect after falling off.

"Give."

Zhang Rishan's voice broke the silence of the night, and he handed over a few small fishing rods.

Jinnian quickly took it and then handed one to Yin Xinyue.

Yin Xinyue shook the fishing rod in her hand, her face full of confusion, completely not understanding what they were going to do.

"What do you want to play?"

Yin Xinyue asked, she looked at the thing and it seemed to be a fishing rod.

"Are you going fishing?"

"Yes, have you seen the fish raised in Buddha's pond?"

There was a gleam of anticipation in Jinnian's eyes, and her big eyes blinked.

Yin Xinyue stopped and fell into deep thought. After a while, she slowly spoke: "I saw it when I was strolling around the other day. There should be a lot of fish there, right?"

In fact, she did not observe carefully, and she was not very interested in these things. However, Jinnian was full of curiosity about the fish in the pond. There was nothing fun to do if she went back now. She could only wait for her brother to come back, so she might as well come out and see the fish.

Zhang Rishan walked in front, holding a lantern.

The lamp was not big, but it emitted a warm yellow light, enough to illuminate the winding path. The light was sprinkled on the road, and the shadows of the trees beside it swayed gracefully, no longer looking scary and ferocious, but rather like a kind soul.

The breeze gently brushed across their cheeks, gently lifting the robes of the three people, as if urging them forward.

"Can you fish?"

Yin Xinyue swung the fishing rod in her hand and asked curiously. She had never even seen this thing before, let alone learned how to fish with it.

Jinnian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Yin Xinyue hesitated to speak and looked at Zhang Rishan who was walking in front and leading the way.

"Adjutant Zhang, can you?"

Yin Xinyue asked with a little expectation.

"will not."

Zhang Rishan's answer was concise and clear.

Yin Xinyue was speechless. What were they doing here? Waiting for the fish to jump up? But she didn't say it. After all, she didn't want to spoil everyone's fun. At most, she would just accompany them to paddle in the water with a fishing rod. As long as Jinnian was happy, that was enough.

The three of them walked slowly along the path and soon came to the edge of a small pond. There were specially built lights around it, illuminating the surroundings. Only the pond seemed a little dark, but it still aroused people's interest.

If there is only one person, he might be afraid and go around it, but if there is a group of people, it will be different. He will wish it was darker.

"Rishan, can you do this?"

Jinnian looked at the somewhat professional fishing tools on the ground, and after rummaging around for a while, he couldn't help but ask Zhang Rishan for help.

Zhang Rishan took the fishing rod. Although he had never learned how to fish, he knew a little bit about it. After all, even if you haven't seen a pig run, you have eaten pork. Although he didn't know how to fish, he had bought fish caught by others, so rounding it off, he was also involved in fishing.

He tied the bait carefully, his eyes focused and serious. During the process, he kept studying it. After looking around, he almost got it done. It was still easier than playing with a gun.

When Jinnian was tying the fishing bait, he leaned over the railing and looked down. At that moment, the scene of himself falling into the pond at Wu Ye's house emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

Finally, I learned my lesson and didn't dare to get too close. I just watched from a distance a few dark shadows swimming underwater.

"Yes, there are a lot of fish. It feels like there are more fish than in Master Wu's house."

Jinnian said excitedly, pointing to a dark shadow emerging not far away. Yin Xinyue squinted her eyes and looked over, but saw nothing.

Yin Xinyue and Jinnian each held a fishing rod. Seeing Zhang Rishan still concentrating on helping Jinnian with the fishing rod, they also became interested.

She took the fishing rod that Zhang Rishan had just tied the bait to and tried to cast it down. However, Yin Xinyue seemed to be unlucky. As soon as she cast it out, she didn't know if she had made a mistake in the direction and it went directly into the bushes behind her.

Jinnian heard the sound of a fishing rod being swung, and when he turned around, he saw Yin Xinyue's embarrassed look. She was pulling the fishing rod in panic, her face flushed. Fortunately, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly. Jinnian blinked, smiled and walked over to help her untie the fishing line tangled in the grass.

After finally getting everything ready, the two of them cast their rods one after the other, and then stood there quietly waiting. Jinnian asked Zhang Rishan to hold the fishing rod, while he himself held a lantern, squatted in front of the railing, and looked at the water intently.

The warm yellow light sprinkled on the water, causing slight ripples, but soon it calmed down and was swallowed up by the darkness in the distance.

Perhaps the bait was not to the fish's liking. For a long time, there was no movement on the water surface. Only occasionally a few dark shadows jumped back and forth under Jinnian's feet, as if they were playing with him.

"How long do we have to wait?"

Yin Xinyue supported her waist and complained that there was no seat here. She was originally very happy and wanted to try to catch a fish, but after standing for a long time, her legs were numb and a trace of impatience gradually arose in her heart. The most important thing was that her waist hurt a little.

Zhang Rishan was fine. He had good physical strength and didn't feel tired after standing for a while. He stood with his thin waist straight, as if he took this as an important task. But if you look at him closely, you will find that his attention was basically on Jinnian by the water. He would only occasionally glance at the fishing rod. He didn't care much whether there was any fish hooked or not.

Time passed minute by minute, the night grew deeper and deeper, and the tranquility around seemed to be infinitely magnified. Yin Xinyue swung the fishing rod boredly, muttering to herself why this fish was so difficult to catch.

Jinnian was standing by the water, tapping the water surface with her fingers out of boredom. The water surface was covered with small ripples, like blooming flowers.

There was no movement over there for a long time. Yin Xinyue couldn't stand it anymore, so she handed the fishing rod in her hand to Zhang Rishan. Zhang Rishan took it casually and still stood straight.

Yin Xinyue walked to Jinnian's side, watched him put his hand through the railing, gently stirring the water, and also curiously poked his head out.

"Did you see any fish?"

"No, do you want to see it?"

"Yes I do."

"Then please wait a while for the new moons. I'll call them."

Yin Xinyue stood up and stretched. She didn't quite hear what Jinnian said. She just squatted for a while and stood up to move around.

Seeing that she was no longer interested, Jinnian shook his fingers on the water and then put them directly in.

The water was originally cold, but when Jinnian put his hand in, a warmth surrounded his hand.

As Jinnian tapped his fingers, a group of black shadows suddenly appeared on the water surface, growing bigger and bigger, and it looked like they were about to float to the surface.

They seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force and swam towards Jinnian one after another. Jinnian was smiling with surprise in his eyes. He was very happy because it turned out that the small fish here would pay attention to him.

Yin Xinyue thought she had seen it wrong, but when she really saw a large number of black shadows, her eyes widened in surprise and the lamp in her hand almost fell to the ground.

She thought it was something scary, so she quickly grabbed Jinnian's collar and pulled him up from the ground.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Jinnian was pulled up, and his outstretched hand dropped down, with a few drops of water still on his fingertips. They fell drop by drop onto the stone road, and some of them fell in the wrong direction, wetting the tail of Jinnian's robe.

"What's this?!"

Yin Xinyue frowned as she looked at the large black shadow approaching.

Jinnian patted Yin Xinyue's shoulder comfortingly and consoled her as if nothing had happened.

"Because I couldn't catch them, I called them out for a while."

"?"

More and more black shadows were agitating, filling up the place where Jinnian had just squatted. It was swelling like a shadow, forming a large area of ​​black.

"Rishan Rishan, we don't want to fish anymore, come and see the little fish!"

Jinnian called Zhang Rishan, and Zhang Rishan put down his fishing rod without much hesitation and came over.

Yin Xinyue almost grabbed Jinnian's arm to prevent herself from retreating.

Jinnian approached with a lamp in his hand, his eyes full of excitement. Yin Xinyue glanced at him and suddenly discovered that under the warm yellow light, Jinnian's eyes turned...gold?

Before she could ask what was going on, Yin Xinyue's attention was attracted by the sound of water splashing.

She turned her head, her pupils dilated, and the white moonlight and the warm yellow light intertwined, allowing her to see a scene that she would never forget.

One after another, the fish jumped out of the water, like lotus flowers struggling out of the mud.

Under the light, the fish sparkled with colorful light, which was extremely beautiful. They jumped up one by one, scrambling to make beautiful splashes of water. The water splashes, refracted by the light, looked like dazzling gems, emitting charming light.

Ripples appeared on the water surface. Jinnian stretched out his hand and raised it in the air. Fish jumped up one after another, trying to touch him.

Yin Xinyue and Zhang Rishan were also stunned by this sudden scene. They stared blankly at those seemingly happy fish, and more importantly, they were looking at Jinnian.

Jinnian smiled widely and lowered his hand a little. The fish's snout touched his palm, feeling icy cold. His eyes were full of admiration. Rather than watching them jump up, he wanted to go into the water and have a closer contact with them.

"How is this going?"

Yin Xinyue finally closed her open mouth, but she was still a little surprised and couldn't help asking Zhang Rishan.

Zhang Rishan looked at Jinnian thoughtfully, and noticed the abnormality in his eyes, and seemed to have some guesses in his mind.

The night wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if playing a beautiful melody for this wonderful scene.

The sound of plops continued. Yin Xinyue was shocked at first, but later became numb.

She heard Jinnian muttering and counting softly, and guessed that he was probably counting how many fish there were.

How can she count them? She looked at these fishes...they all looked the same...

Jinnian was tired of raising his hands, so he gently stretched out his hands, placed them in the water, and tried to touch those beautiful fish. They seemed to understand what Jinnian meant and swam around his hands.

After showing off her beautiful figure, light came from nowhere, following the movement of the school of fish, and surrounded Jinnian's hands bit by bit.
