Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

A Chinese quintessence almost burst out from Shi Li's small body.

She barely managed to hold back the words that were about to come out of her mouth, her heart pounding. She turned around quickly and saw a "person" standing behind her.

It should be considered a human being.

The boy had changed little, almost nothing, since the last time we met.

It was still the same stunning face, with a clean and innocent expression, as if it shouldn't exist in this dirty world.

Last time it was too dark and she couldn't see clearly, but this time Shi Li could see clearly that he had a scarlet mole above his eyebrow, which looked extremely bright and dazzling in the sunlight, making it difficult to look away after just one look.

So, this is the "water ghost"?

Shi Li was a little confused. She blinked and asked carefully, "Do you... remember me?"

The boy looked at her and nodded slowly, his voice a little hoarse, as if he was not proficient in it.

"I, remember, what are you doing here?"

Shi Li was silent, thinking, shouldn't I be the one asking this question? Why would a Nian beast like you come out? It's the beginning of spring.

It would have been fine if he just ran away, but he was actually considered a water ghost. What kind of mysterious operation is this?

Of course, it was enough to just complain in her heart. Shi Li still remembered the horror she felt when her waist was hoisted, and she was still full of awe for the young man in front of her.

Answer truthfully: "I want to catch two fish."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a splash and a big fat carp jumped out of the water and landed directly at Shi Li's feet.

Shi Li looked at the big carp flopping on the ground, then looked at the young man, and his brain went blank for a moment.

The young man misunderstood and turned his gaze to the frozen river surface, only to see two more carp jumping out of the water one after another and also landing at Shi Li's feet.

"Enough, enough, no more." Shi Li finally reacted and quickly stopped the boy's "arrogant" behavior.

Shi Li felt a little embarrassed to receive such a big gift. Seeing that the boy seemed confused, she started to find topics to talk about.

"Where do you live now? Can you come out whenever you want? I thought you could only come out during the Chinese New Year."

The boy looked at her seriously, as if trying to digest and understand what she said.

After a while, he slowly replied, "I can't come out all the time. I live in the mountains, so you can't see me."

Shi Li listened carefully and understood what he said. She couldn't help but chuckle and tilted her head and said, "Then try not to let others find out. It will scare them."

The boy listened, nodded, then looked at the river and said something that made Shi Li's hair stand on end, "There are people in the river, don't come here all the time."

In the weather that was still cold, Shi Li was frightened and broke into a sweat. He subconsciously looked back at the frozen river.

"You mean... a water ghost?" She really thought that the "water ghost" was a teenager, but it seems that they are not the same thing.

The boy probably didn’t know what a “water ghost” was. He didn’t say anything for a long time and just looked at the river quietly.

The peaceful and beautiful scene made Shi Li feel a little uneasy.

"Then I'll go back today and see you next time." She picked up the fish on the ground, thought for a while, and picked up the biggest one and threw it back into the river.

If she brings back three such big fish this time, her mother might ask her to fish every day in the future. She can't do it without the boy's help, so it's better not to create a "surprise" from the beginning.

The boy heard her words clearly, but did not answer or nod. He just looked at her quietly.

There was a rustling sound of wind all around.

Shi Li looked into his eyes and read a hint of loneliness and reluctance in them.

My heart softened.

The legendary beast Nian was tyrannical and could eat people, but the boy she met was simple and innocent. Although it hurt a lot, he never hurt her and gave her such a big gift.

"However, when can you come out again, you can come and talk to me quietly, but don't let other people in my family see us." Shi Li said in a low voice.

The boy's eyes lit up visibly, and this time he nodded without hesitation or reaction.

"it is good."

Shi Li felt that she had been deceived by his cute appearance. Why did he suddenly react so quickly?

But never mind, she got some benefits after all.

Holding two not-so-small carps, Shi Li said goodbye to the boy and walked home.

Before I reached home, I met two villagers.

When they saw Shi Li holding two carps, they were all stunned.

One of them asked cautiously, "Did you go to the river?"

Shi Li: ...

She seemed to be showing white.
