Naturally Precious

Shen Xuan never thought that such a scandal would happen in the Shen family's backyard. Apart from being angry, she was even more afraid that Shen Ruiqing's eyes would be burned by the filth. returned to the bedroom.

There was no longer Lu Fu in the room, and the guard outside was replaced by other maids.Bao'er glanced in the direction of the bathroom in a daze, then looked at the still ugly face of her elder brother, finally said nothing, climbed onto the bed obediently, and snuggled into Shen Xuan's arms as usual.

For some reason, the eldest brother hugged him extra tightly today.

He had already slept for a while before, and then he was so startled again. At this time, when it was time to sleep, he didn't feel sleepy.But Shen Ruiqing didn't want to disturb Shen Xuan, so she just closed her eyes and fell asleep.It was hard to get rid of the scene of Lu Fu and his elder brother being entangled in his mind before, and he suddenly remembered that his elder brother was different from the men and women he said earlier, and the roots of his ears burned.

Is... that kind of thing?

Although he didn't understand anything, he also vaguely knew that there seemed to be something between men and women that was particularly shameful and unspeakable.The roots of his ears were so hot that even his hands and feet felt a little helpless. He suddenly felt that Shen Xuan's embrace was really hot, and that big hand seemed to burn him through the clothes.

Xu's nervousness made his hands and feet stiff, and Shen Xuan didn't get much sleep at first, so he easily noticed Bao'er's weirdness.Slowly opening his eyes, he called out "Bao'er" in a low voice, and then moved the arm that was pillowed on the other's neck.

"Don't want to sleep?"

"No...no," Shen Ruiqing hurriedly shook her head, "I'll fall asleep right away."

"Good." The man smiled, but stretched out his other hand to touch his forehead, "It's true that it's not hot anymore, but just in case, I still have to take the medicine for tomorrow, you know?"

"Brother has pushed the matter away in the past few days. How about taking your medicine obediently and taking you to swim in the lake tomorrow?"

Thinking of the bitter medicinal soup, his face subconsciously wrinkled, but when he heard that he could go swimming in the lake tomorrow, he suddenly became happy, and looked at the other person eagerly, "Really go to the lake? Fishing by boat? "

"Well, whatever Bao'er catches, he will use for lunch."

The two made an appointment like this, and the next day, after breakfast, they set off directly to the lakeside.The weather is beautiful, the scorching sun that has lasted for many days is slowly covered by the clouds, and accompanied by the gentle breeze, it is extraordinarily cool and comfortable.

Shen Xuan and Shen Ruiqing sat beside the boat, each wearing a straw hat and holding a boom.

"Brother... are you really going to put this earthworm into the hook?" The earthworms were just dug in the yard by the servants in the morning, and they were all fat, thick and long, wriggling non-stop, it was really disgusting to look at.In the past, he used to directly take the processed boom, but now he had to watch Shen Xuan put the earthworm into the hook alive, it was really unbearable.

"Of course. Otherwise, if there is no bait, how can we catch fish?" Shen Xuan smiled, "If Bao'er doesn't want to watch it, then don't watch it. Big brother can do these trivial things, so as not to scratch your hand."

"...Be careful, brother, the hook is sharp."

After all, Bao'er was still young, so she didn't want to see such a cruel thing, she kept bowing her head and silently recited "Amitabha", as if she could save the earthworm that died tragically.The young master glanced at him, just pursed his lips and smiled, but his subordinates quickly put on the earthworm, washed it with clean water, and handed it to the other party.

That earthworm didn't look like a human being, it didn't have a single drop of blood after being pierced through its entire body, instead it kept wriggling its body there, very dexterous.Shen Ruiqing was taken aback, and took the fishing rod tremblingly, staring at the fishing line that was constantly swaying by the wind, for fear that the hook wearing the earthworm would float on her body.

"Brother... can I throw it into the lake?"

"Wait, first sprinkle a handful of rice into the water, and the fish will come." The red rice specially designed to lure fish had already been prepared, and he grabbed a handful and sprinkled it into the lake, and the water splashed immediately.Bao'er was terrified of the earthworm, so he didn't make a swing, and threw the hook into the water with a light push forward.This stupid look made Shen Xuan chuckle, and pressed his straw hat twice hard.

After both hooks enter the water, all that needs to be done is to wait.

Fishing is a matter of patience, Shen Ruiqing did not dare to act rashly, so she was cautious when speaking with Shen Xuan, for fear of scaring the fish in the lake and losing today's lunch.

In the distance, someone was standing on the shore, raised the fishing rod, and did not put it into the water, but stared at the lake.When there was any abnormal movement, he suddenly threw out the boom and slammed it on the water surface.

Bao'er's eyes widened, she had never seen such a way of fishing.

"Brother...Look, what is that man doing? Why is it different from us?"

"Huh?" Shen Xuan had been looking down at Bao'er all the time, and after hearing his question, she raised her eyes to look at the shore not far away.The fisherman seemed to have harvested something, so he took a long pole with a net bag out, stretched it into the water, and dragged it all the way back to the shore.

"Oh...that's turtle fishing, which is naturally different from fishing."

"Turtle?" Bao'er blinked, "It's the bastard?"

"Well, it's the bastard." He replied in a serious manner, and explained to the younger brother carefully, "When the fisherman saw the bastard poking his head, he immediately hit the bastard with a hook and hammer... After the bastard was knocked out, he could be caught with a net."

"That's it..." Shen Ruiqing had never seen such a strange thing, his face was full of surprise, and he was very excited for a while, and wanted to get a boom to beat the bastard.But as soon as he thought of knocking that small hammer on the bastard's head with great precision, he suddenly became discouraged and gave up the idea.

But at this moment, the hook that had not moved all this time suddenly sank.

Shen Xuan has been paying attention to him all the time, and when he saw the fishing line dipped into the water, he immediately reminded Bao'er to pull the hook.Bao'er reacted suddenly, stood up from the small stool all at once, and pulled it up vigorously.Seeing that he was struggling, Shen Xuan realized that the fish might not be small, so she hurriedly put down her fishing rod and helped him pull it together.

"I'm afraid it's a big fish! Bao'er, you don't need to raise it any more, slowly retract the rod...that's it..."

He listened to his elder brother's words, but his subordinates did not dare to neglect at all, for fear that the half-curved pole would be broken.The big fish was still struggling underneath, and the strength was really not small. Seeing this, Shen Xuan stopped procrastinating, simply wrapped Bao'er's hand, and threw the fish onto the boat with all his strength.

A solid crucian carp was flopping non-stop on the deck of the boat.

Bao'er's eyes widened a long time ago, and she couldn't believe that she caught it by herself.On the other hand, Shen Xuan was much more stable, holding down the head of the fish, swiftly took off the hook that had been eaten so hard, and threw it into the bucket.

"Bao'er, I roasted this crucian carp for you at noon, how about it?"

"Ah...well, Baoer hasn't eaten grilled fish yet." Shen Ruiqing squatted down beside the small bucket happily to look at the big fish with a smile, "It turned out that Baoer's pole caught the fish first... really unbelievable!"

"Bao'er is so smart and cute, so naturally he should be caught before Big Brother." Shen Xuan dotes on him, boasting very capriciously, as if Bao'er is the most pleasing child in the world.Bao'er is not as easy to deceive as she was when she was a child, she gave him a shy look, and continued to look down at the big sparkling fish.

"Hey...why is there blood, brother, the fish's lips seem to be broken."

"It swallowed the bait with the hook before, and the hook pierced its lip before being caught by Bao'er."

"Ah..." Shen Ruiqing was speechless in a daze.

Seeing his bewildered appearance, Shen Xuan couldn't help stroking his head, knelt down and said: "In this world, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and the big fish grow up to be so big after eating the small fish...Brother knows that Bao'er is kind , but Bao'er should understand these truths?"

"I understand...but, I still can't bear it, it always feels like it hurts..."

"Then don't look at it, huh?"

"……it is good."

He nodded obediently, took his elder brother's hand and sat down on the side of the boat again, and threw the hook into the water again.

Shen Xuan has always been busy on weekdays, and it is really rare to be so leisurely like today, and she gradually relaxed a lot; Bao'er, who is so pity and beloved, is beside her, and when she turns her head, she can see his smooth and soft side face, deep in her heart It is even more soft.

"elder brother……"

"Ok?"

"Yesterday, Sister Lufu did something wrong—hey, I seem to have another fish here!" The hook just thrown into the water was bitten again, Bao'er was startled, and forgot what she wanted to ask just now , quickly stood up and began to pull the hook.That fish wasn't very heavy, and it was much lighter than the one just now, as long as he picked it up with all his strength——

There was a red water snake biting the hook at the end of the fishing line!

The water snake was still wriggling its tail when it got out of the water, which made Shen Ruiqing scream in fright, and was about to throw the hook out violently.He seldom fished on weekdays, so naturally he couldn't control the direction, so he threw the water snake straight towards him.With quick eyes and hands, Shen Xuan swung the rod, and the snake was thrown off the hook, writhing and thrown onto the boat.

Xu Shi fell in pain, and the water snake struggled harder, crawling towards the person just by the water marks.Bao'er was terrified, and staggered back a few steps, her whole body shaking like chaff.

"Ahhh...it's coming up, it's coming up! Brother...it's coming towards me, ah!"

"Bao'er! Don't be afraid! Come to Big Brother!" The snake was red all over, and it was unknown whether it was poisonous, so Shen Xuan didn't dare to catch it with his hands rashly, so he could only turn the fishing rod upside down and hit it.But the snake itself was flexible, and it didn't stop even after being hit, but swam towards Bao'er even more hastily.

"Ah... brother, brother—"

Shen Ruiqing hid hastily, became unstable for a while, and fell directly into the water!

At this time, no matter what the water snake was making waves, Shen Xuan's eyes turned red, and he yelled "Bao'er" angrily and jumped into the lake.Bao'er couldn't swim, so she took several sips when she fell into it. She jumped on the surface of the water by instinct, and buried her head in the water many times.He wanted to call out "Brother", but there were blisters in front of his eyes, which did not allow him to make a sound.

A big hand pulled him out of the water.

"Bao'er! Bao'er!" There was not much distance at all, Shen Xuan pulled him into his arms, and dragged him on the water to breathe a few times. "Don't be afraid, don't move around, relax your hands and feet..."

"Brother...Brother..." Shen Ruiqing was so frightened that tears flowed down her face, but she still listened to the other party's words and relaxed there with all her willpower.

"Okay, good boy...that's it, Bao'er, you climb up, the elder brother drags you below, you climb up..." Even though it is summer, the lake water is still very cold for people.Shen Xuan pulled him with one hand, and supported the eaves of the boat with the other, "The clothes on your body will be heavy if soaked in water, but don't be afraid, Bao'er, brother is right below..."

"...Mmm..." With a deep crying voice, he nodded vigorously, and put his hands on the eaves of the boat.

The boat was not big, and it tended to turn upside down when he pulled it like this, so scared that Bao'er couldn't help whimpering a few times.But thinking of Shen Xuan who was still in the water, he didn't care about the snake still on the boat, and started to climb up using both hands and feet.The clothes were really heavy, and they were soaked and stuck to him.Pushed by Shen Xuan, he turned over with one foot, and his body grunted like a rolling wheel.

"Brother...Brother, I will pull you up..."

Shen Xuan was much bigger than him, but his hands and feet were strong, so he climbed onto the boat without much effort.Seeing the harmful water snake, the man frowned, picked up the harpoon at the side and nailed it tightly seven inches.

Bao'er was still sobbing.

Obviously he was completely fine, but the panic just now made him unable to help crying.Shen Xuan took a deep breath, ignored the dying red snake, and took Bao'er into her arms in three steps, holding her tightly.

"Don't be afraid...don't be afraid...the snake has been pinned down by brother, Bao'er won't cry..."

"Ugh..."
