My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 10, Spring for Anglers

After leaving the ranch, Jiang Simiao took the path along the bus stop.

Birds flying in the morning sun, wild flowers and grass, roads and trails.Compared with the previous trail in the woods, this is a different scenery.

Jiang Simiao walked in front of Shi Lai, looking left and right, still using the illustrated book to look for any special spiritual plants.

Shi Lai was walking slowly behind, his eyes always staying on Jiang Simiao, his ears straight up, and he was carefully observing the surroundings.

This path is directly connected to Ou Niao Town, but looking at the weeds breaking out on this path, you can also realize that no one has taken care of it for a long time.

Ou Niao Town is a remote town in Xiandu, the nine major cities of Xia Kingdom. It is surrounded by mountains and close to the sea. There is only one road leading to the outside. Therefore, the life here always has its own flavor, with its own traditional festivals and festival celebrations. .

Mysterious forests, unknown wilderness, warm sunny coasts, canyons and mines, surrounded by nature, Ouniao Town is like a peach blossom garden, and everyone in the town has their own flavor of life.

Usually there were few outsiders in the town, and only during festivals would some travelers come here. So Jiang Simiao didn't meet anyone along the way in the morning, so he walked quietly with Shi Lai.

"Meow."

When he was approaching the town, Shi Lai suddenly patted Jiang Simiao on the shoulder and shook the 500 yuan that Jiang Simiao had given him before.

"You said you would buy the vegetables yourself?"

Jiang Simiao was stunned and turned to look at Shi Lai.

"Meow~"

Otherwise, are you going to buy it?
Shi Lai sighed, stretched out his hand and put it on Jiang Simiao's head.

Jiang Simiao:......

He raised his head slightly and realized that he usually squatted down slightly when talking to him.

At 1.8 meters tall, he is indeed much taller than himself.I heard from the old mayor that Shi Lai seemed to be only four years old?
After giving Shi Lai another 500 yuan, Jiang Simiao walked behind Shi Lai. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

What a loss for being teased by Shi Lai!Gotta tease him back!
Looking at Shi Lai walking slowly in front of him, Jiang Simiao suddenly had a malicious smile on his face. He rubbed his hands, tiptoed and approached quietly, then jumped up suddenly and hugged Shi Lai. neck.

"Meow!"

Jiang Simiao jumped directly on Shi Lai's back, reached under Shi Lai's neck, and kept rubbing its soft chin flesh with his fingers, while his face kept rubbing its fur.

Shi Lai's body suddenly froze. Although he wanted to shake Jiang Simiao away with his tail, he hugged him too hard and could easily hurt him with force, so he could only freeze in place motionless.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Simiao felt that it was almost done. He lifted his face from Shi Lai's neck hair, squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

On the way down, he quietly rubbed Shi Lai's belly, and then ran towards the beach without hesitation, fearing that Shi Lai would chase after him.

"It's time to go shopping. The grocery store is right in front. You should be able to find it by yourself. I'm going to the beach first."

Jiang Simiao turned his head and shouted while running, grinning, then turned back and accelerated again, disappearing from Shi Lai's sight.

"Meow..."

Seeing Jiang Simiao finally running away, his body that had been tense relaxed and he straightened out the messed up hair on his body.After everything was ready, I headed into the town, followed the road signs, and found the grocery store.

Jingle bell~
The grocery store owner was playing with his little electronic cat. When he heard the sound of the wind chimes when he pushed the door, he raised his head with a smile. He was about to say welcome, but the words got stuck in his throat when he saw it.

He looked down at the little electric cat in his arms, and then at Shi Lai who was selecting goods, a little suspicious of his own eyes.

Shi Lai just faced the surprised looks of the store owner and customers, while Shi Lai selected the products with a normal expression.

"Meow~"

When Shi Lai put the selected condiments on the table, the shop owner suddenly came to his senses and took the money he handed over: Abba, Abba, Abba.

……

Following the road from the town to the seaside, it didn't take long for Jiang Simiao to see the warm sunny coast.

The distant horizon meets the sky, a vast expanse of blue.The fine white sand on the beach is gently beaten by the waves, making a faint and pleasant sound.There are strings of small shells left on the clean beach that the waves forgot to take away, like strings of treasures scattered on the beach.The vegetation on the shore is vibrant and green.Tall palm trees sway their crowns, casting mottled shadows.

A girl with braids stayed in the shade of a tree, holding a drawing board and facing the sea. There was a three-color parrot on her shoulder. Every feather seemed to be stained with paint, and the one beside her was lying on her back. An ink-colored snake seems to prevent anyone from disturbing her owner's painting.

A painter who collects styles?

Jiang Simiao didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, people who are willing to live in this town for a long time always have their own characteristics.

He looked into the distance and saw a fishing tackle shop built on the beach. It looked small and made of pure wood. The roof was mainly covered with a layer of straw, and it was also a bit shabby.

Jiang Simiao walked over and watched a man walking into the house carrying a bucket of fish.

He was dark-skinned and burly, wearing a loose fisherman's clothing stained with salty water.Her hair is already gray and draped casually on her broad shoulders. Sometimes it is blown by the sea breeze, revealing a few strands of snow-white hair.

I was holding a fish bucket in my hand, and there were only a few small fish in it. It seemed that the harvest was not very satisfactory.

"Hey, you have a strange face." He saw Jiang Simuu walking up and grinned, "He is Mr. Jiang's grandson, hey, when I heard that you were coming back to inherit the ranch, all the guys in the town were very kind to you. Interested."

"I am Zhang Haiyu, the owner of this fishing gear shop. Did you come to me to buy something?"

"Well, I want to buy a fishing rod." Jiang Simiao nodded and directly explained his purpose.

However, after hearing Jiang Simiao's words, his movements froze.

"Buy a fishing rod?" His voice was shaking a little, and the hand holding the bucket was shaking, too, and the water spilled out.But his eyes were still fixed on Jiang Simiao, full of eager anticipation.

"Ah."

After receiving a positive answer, he seemed to be suddenly relieved, turned around immediately, and spoke quickly: "Then wait outside for a moment, I will pack my things right away."

After saying that, he closed the door. Jiang Simiao was a little confused and could only turn his head to look at the sea: blue waves were rippling and everything was calm.

There are also many extraordinary fish inside.

Jiang Simiao was stunned, but he was silently looking forward to the fishing situation in the future.

After all, no matter what game he played, fishing was Jiang Simiao's favorite part. Even though real fishing is definitely different from the game, the things he catches when fishing like this must be very interesting.

Not long after, I heard a voice coming from inside: "Come in!"

Jiang Simiao looked back, turned around and opened the door.I wanted to directly ask about the purchase of fishing gear, but I was completely frozen in place when I saw what was on the wall.

"This...this, you caught all this yourself?"

Jiang Simiao swallowed and pointed to the wall tremblingly.

From the outside, this house was small and looked very old, but the interior decoration was particularly exquisite, especially the decorations hanging on the walls.

Each photo shows Zhang Haiyu holding a unique fish, and the fish in the photo hangs next to it.

"Hahaha, these are my most proud decorations." Zhang Haiyu's face flushed with excitement. He seemed to especially like seeing other people's surprised expressions, and he led Jiang Simiao around with great interest.

Every time he passed a painting, he would talk about what happened at that time.

"The fish on the wall are all models. After taking photos of the children I caught, I put most of them back into the sea. After all, I don't lack the money from selling fish. I just enjoy fishing purely."

"You don't know, spring is a perfect season for fishing! Because the life energy on land is the most abundant, most extraordinary fish are active in spring. Catching these extraordinary fish without the help of pet beasts is like fishing with the entire land. Fighting in the sea, the surging and endless power really fascinates me."

Recalling the pleasure of fishing, Zhang Haiyu forgot himself and subconsciously opened his arms, as if he was already in the sea and fighting against the waves.

After a long time, he gradually calmed down, opened his eyes, picked up a fishing rod and handed it to the dazed Jiang Simiao, grinning with a row of white teeth.

"So, let's go fishing together, kids! Spring is the spring for us fishermen!"
