Chapter 206: Chapter 147: Did Mu Mingxuan Go Offline? (Three in One)_2

[666666666]

Huo Miao really couldn’t resist anymore. She stealthily sniffed the delicious scent of Jian Tiantian’s fish stewing downstairs and tugged at Mu Mingxuan’s arm to plead, "Brother Mingxuan, I’m really so hungry, look, I’ve gotten skinny from hunger. Can we go catch fish in the river too?"

Mu Mingxuan was also hungry, but fishing... he had never done it before, those things swimming around in the water weren’t so easy to catch.

Mu Mingxuan gently declined, "Miaomiao, we don’t have the right tools, we might not be able to catch any."

"Let’s just try, okay? If we can’t catch big ones, can’t we catch the small ones?" Huo Miao pouted, looking at him a bit aggrieved, "Jian Tiantian cooks fish every day in the kitchen, I even saw lots of fish in their fish tank. Director Wang sits by the river fishing every day, there must be lots of fish in the river!"

"We won’t catch many, just one or two. Your hand was dislocated by Jiang Ning that day, and we’ve only been eating wild vegetables these past few days, not getting enough nutrition to help you recover," she said.

By the end, Huo Miao already had a look of concern for Mu Mingxuan on her face.

Mu Mingxuan, hearing this, was slightly moved.

Of all the injuries Jiang Ning had inflicted, the dislocated arm was the most serious.

Moreover, he didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but so many days had passed, and his arm still throbbed with pain. Could it be, as Huo Miao said, because of a lack of nutritious food, it was causing lingering issues?

Mu Mingxuan’s heart chilled, and suddenly he grabbed Huo Miao’s hand, "Let’s go, we’ll go to the riverside to see. Even if we can’t catch fish, getting a few crabs to make soup should be doable."

The moment Huo Miao heard this, she was overjoyed.

The two of them headed to the riverbank together and unexpectedly saw several familiar figures there. Yuan Wei, Ling Bo, and Lin Qi were rolling up their trousers and searching around in the water.

They didn’t know when these three had decided to cooperate, but there was a small bucket by the river. Huo Miao couldn’t resist walking over to take a peek, and saw that inside the bucket, there were quite a few snails and crabs, as well as several goby fish as thick as fingers.

A hint of envy flashed in Huo Miao’s eyes. She picked up the bucket and, tugging on Mu Mingxuan’s sleeve, hurriedly went down to the river.

She specifically chose the spot upstream from Yuan Wei and the others.

[Is Huo Miao a bit foolish? The water in this part of the river is so green, is she sure she’s not dragging Mu Mingxuan to their deaths?]

[It should be fine, right? As long as they don’t go into the middle of the river, it’s okay on the side. They can see the stones on the riverbed; it’s not deep.]

[Ignorance is bliss.]

Seeing the two enter the water, Lin Qi, who was at the back, raised his head and couldn’t help but shout, "Young Master Mu, the water is deeper over there, you should come downstream."

"Miaomiao, let’s go downriver," Mu Mingxuan whispered.

Annoyance flickered in Huo Miao’s eyes. Downriver would surely have been picked clean by those three, what would be left?

What concern was Lin Qi showing!

Of course, Huo Miao wouldn’t show her displeasure. She just bit her lip and said, "I think it’s quite good here, let’s just fish and pick up snails around the edge..."

While she was talking, Huo Miao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed, "Hey! That looks like a snail!"

She bent down and reached into the water, and indeed retrieved a snail as big as a thumb.

And there wasn’t just one; Huo Miao saw many more.

She bent over and picked them all up, then boasted to Mu Mingxuan, "Brother Mingxuan, look, they haven’t picked here, so there are so many left! Let’s just pick here!"

Mu Mingxuan nodded, thinking that Huo Miao made sense, and the two of them began searching in earnest.

After Lin Qi had been picking for a while, he thought that after he had spoken, Mu Mingxuan and Huo Miao would come downstream, but when he looked up, he saw they were still up there.

Lin Qi: "..."

An expression of speechlessness crossed his face before he moved on.

After all, he had given his warning; he had done his duty.

After Lin Qi and the others had picked enough, they came up from the river, carrying the bucket back to the loft.

When Huo Miao saw their departing figures, she secretly snorted in her heart.

They had come to the river to fish and catch crabs without informing anyone; otherwise, why would she and Mu Mingxuan have only come now?

Who knew how much they had stealthily taken from the river these past few days.

While Huo Miao was thinking and turning over rocks, suddenly, a large crab appeared before her. Huo Miao was startled and immediately called out Mu Mingxuan’s name, "Brother Mingxuan! Come quick! There’s a huge crab here, I’m afraid to catch it!"
