Healing Hotel

Chapter 18 The Fish

Since Huang Xingxing, Lao Tao didn't go up the mountain anymore, he just lived in the old house, drank tea with Yu Qing every day, chatted with the folks in the village, went fishing by the river when he had nothing to do, and soon regarded this place as his own home.

Yu Qing watched him fishing, and also thought about the fish pond outside the house.Wild fish can indeed be caught in the small river outside, but they are relatively small, there are not many types, and the fish schools are also cunning and difficult to catch.

Besides, the abandoned fish ponds are covered with weeds, which is also a bit unpleasant.

Yu Qing planned to dig some fish and raise a few ducks on the surface of the water, so he can eat ducks or fish as he wants in the future.

He was still worried about what to do with the grass in the big pond, and how to dig it.Unexpectedly, when Second Uncle Liu heard that he was going to dig a pond to raise fish, he immediately discussed excitedly, saying that he could help him with it, but he wanted to join a team.

The Liu family's farmhouse is very popular, and they even opened one in the Wangquan scenic area, which needs a lot of ingredients.However, the collective fish ponds in the village are only open for fishing once a year, and fishing in the small river every day is not realistic.He often has to travel long distances to buy fish. He has long wanted to raise fish, but there is no suitable place.

Yu Qing just figured that he could eat whatever he wanted, and thought it would save trouble, so he handed it over to him.

Second Uncle Liu chatted with him about the gossip in the village again, and whispered: "I heard that the couple from the Li family next door quarreled again. Did you hear that last night? It made their kid run away from home, and he hasn't seen anyone for two days! Hey, I don’t know where I’m going. It’s okay if I sneak into the city by car, but I’m afraid of going into the mountains. These wild boys don’t know the heights of the sky and the earth, so it’s okay to get lost, just in case something happens on the mountain..."

Yu Qing really didn't know about this, he slept well at night.If there is no important situation, the old house will generally not wake him up.

"Let me help to pay attention too." Yu Qing said.It would be easy to go into the mountains, just let Hu Er make a trip.but……

"Did you call the police?" Yu Qing asked again.

"Ah?" Second Uncle Liu hurriedly said, "That's not very good, the police are there to catch bad people. Maybe this kid just went out to play for two days. If the police come...the old Li's family will lose face. .”

"People are more important than face?" Yu Qing asked.

But he probably also guessed the reason.People in the village are in awe of the police, and their understanding of calling the police is still limited to punishing criminals.I just feel that if the police come to the door, it seems that someone in the family has done something bad.

After Yu Qing gave some popular science, Second Uncle Liu hesitated to go to Li's house to persuade him to try.

Yu Qing went back to the courtyard to look for Hu Er, but he couldn't find him.

"I went to walk the chicken up the mountain." Zhang Shu said.

This foodie!How big is the chicken cub, let's lead it to the mountains!

But it doesn't matter, the fox will definitely show up on time when it's meal time.

Yu Qing saw that it was still early, so he wandered around with the little rooster in his vegetable field.When the rooster catches insects, he loosens the soil, waters it, and doesn't feel tired, just enjoy it.

Zhang Shu is well managed, the water and fertilizer provided by the old house are also good, and the vegetables are growing well.Now there is no shortage of vegetables at home.Especially leeks, which have grown tall in the past two days, so Yu Qing decided to cut some and skewer them for barbecue tonight.

He had cut a basket and was washing it when Hu Er came back with the staggering chicken cubs.

Seeing Yu Qing washing the vegetables, the fox immediately ran over and asked expectantly, "What's for dinner tonight..."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly became vigilant, looked in the direction of the courtyard door, narrowed his eyes and said, "A new guest has come to the house?"

Yu Qing also took a look to make sure there was no one there. "without."

"There is a strange smell." The fox showed a fierce look, and whispered, "Old house, what's the matter with you, someone sneaked in and didn't make a sound."

"Hey... I thought he wasn't a guest." The old man said aggrievedly.

"Then don't let him in. What if the chicken is stolen?" Hu Er angrily sniffed all the way, and ran over to the kennel at the courtyard gate.

The Shiba Inu stood up vigilantly, and made a fierce "barking" demonstration twice.

Hu Er: "..."

The fox nimbly raised its paw and patted it on the head, then lowered its head, and bit the Shiba Inu's neck——

Yu Qing said nervously: "Xiao Er, don't fight!"

The fox, like a cub, put the Shiba Inu aside and stared at the three-headed dog's cabin.

Only then did Yu Qing know that he wanted to move the three-headed dog away.

"There... is there someone inside?" Yu Qing hesitated.

The kennel made by the old house for the three-headed dog is a log cabin, half the height of a person, quite spacious.He looked, and there was no one there.

But there was a boy behind the house, holding a bulging backpack, and was sneaking up with a branch to pretend.Seeing that he was discovered, he stretched out his head and stared at Hu Er.

It wasn't until he saw Yu Qing that he looked around vigilantly and said in a low voice, "Are you the owner of the haunted house?"

"Hotel." Yu Qing corrected, looking at his appearance, unsure: "Are you... looking for a place to stay?"

The boy didn't answer, but stared at Hu Er closely, and asked, "Are you fierce, you dog?"

Yu Qing: "..."

How does this sound like deja vu...

"It understands human nature and is not fierce. Puppies are more fierce." Yu Qing said, rubbing the fox's head.

"The yellow dog is too small." The boy snorted, "I bought it with a meaty bone last night."

Yu Qing: "..."

"It's called the Three-Headed Dog, and it only cooperates with you if it likes you. Don't underestimate it, in fact, it is very fierce." Yu Qing gestured, and the Three-Headed Dog performed another convulsive vicious dog show.

"Wow wow wow!"

The boy stroked the dog's head appreciatively and said, "Okay, it looks like it has potential, I'll live!"

Yu Qing took someone to the house to register, only to find that he was only 16 years old and a high school student.And...he looked at the address on the ID card, isn't it right next door to him? ?

Li Qiuyou.

Li's next door.

Uncle Li's house in the upper reaches of the river where several high walls were built to isolate the old house.The Li family lost their baby.

No wonder the old house didn't treat him as a guest.

Yu Qing put the ID card in front of his eyes, shook it and said with a smile: "Neighbor?"

Li Qiuyou: "..."

Yu Qing asked again: "Why don't you go home? Do you know that your family is looking for you?"

Li Qiuyou said angrily: "It's none of your business! Just say whether you will live or not!"

Of course Yu Qing had no reason to refuse customers.Even if the guest is a neighbor.

So he scanned his ID card, and said, "It's 200 yuan a night here, half price for a student card, 100 yuan a night, do you have it?"

Li Qiuyou's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, yes, yes!!"

Then he hesitated and said: "You won't turn around and betray me, secretly call my dad to arrest me and go back."

Yu Qing said: "No. Can you say why you didn't go home now?"

"It's nothing." Li Qiuyou snorted, "The family is not harmonious, so let's run away from home."

"..."

It's true that he ran away from home, but... the child ran away from home and went to the neighbor's house? ?

Yu Qing laughed and said: "Okay, go up. You can take the leaves down now."

"Oh oh oh!"

The young man went upstairs happily.

Hu Er curled his lips and said, "You really don't intend to tell his parents?"

Yu Qing smiled and said, "Of course."

However, he did not promise not to tell others.

He went to Liu's house, intending to ask his second uncle to cooperate, and said that Li Qiuyou could hide in Liu's house.

That's not a lie to a child, is it?Yu Qing thought so.

Unexpectedly, the second uncle said: "I just went to ask, and I was going to talk to you. Lao Li knew that he was at your house, and he said that he saw the baby slipping in yesterday."

Yu Qing said unexpectedly: "He saw it, why didn't he come in and look for it?"

"He's afraid of ghosts, so he doesn't dare to enter." Uncle Liu said embarrassedly, "I told you, don't joke, if you hadn't come back, I wouldn't dare to enter your yard."

Yu Qing: "..."

Although he was a little speechless...he who was once afraid of ghosts quite understood.

In particular, 586 analyzed: "The villagers' fear of the old house should not be the only reason for Xiao Er. According to Luo Sha's situation, the ghosts near the old house should be able to appear, and they may have seen it."

In this case, it is not surprising that the villagers believe that the old house is a haunted house... Yu Qing thought.

Now that the Li family knew about it, he didn't worry about it anymore, he just waited for Li Qiuyou to figure it out and go back by himself.

He didn't expect that the young man was so angry that he didn't show any intention of leaving after staying for two days.

He looked here and there in the yard, interested in everything.Come out on time every day to eat, stay in the room in the morning, saying it is homework.In the afternoon, pet the dog, help Zhang Shu, and then play "Eagle Catch Chicken" with Hell Chicken.

It looks quite carefree, Yu Qing can't imagine that such a child will run away from home.

"Host, didn't you see it..." 586 Youyou complained, "It's not that he didn't figure it out, he just couldn't think of leaving! People who live in the old house, everything that goes wrong will be resolved, have you forgotten?! You And let the hell chicken cooperate with him to play the hen and protect the chicks!"

Yu Qing: "..."

It was only after he said this that he remembered that he had forgotten to look at the small pool recently!

He was about to go there, when he saw Li Qiuyou running to the edge of the pool at some point, squatting there staring at it, and suddenly shouted in amazement: "Boss! Fish! Fish!"

"What fish? Where is it!" Hu Er rushed out immediately.

Yu Qing saw that there were indeed a few small fish in Yingying Pond.Very small fish, not even as big as a finger.The only thing special is that the whole body is transparent.

"It's so small, it's not enough to fit between your teeth." Hu Er sighed.

"Second brother, this must be a rare species, how can it be eaten!" Li Qiuyou stretched out his hand to protect the fish.

Hu Er rolled his eyes and said, "Then I've grown up, don't be so sweet."

"..." Li Qiuyou struggled inwardly, "No way! I won't be here until school starts."

Yu Qing coughed and reminded: "This fish should not be eaten."

The old house also laughed and said, "Yes, that's the child's little annoyance. I brought the water up from the ground."

Yu Qing felt strange.

"What happens if you eat it?"

"The president is not big, so don't eat it." The old house dissuaded, "In our world, many small people just ate such fish by mistake, and they have always been so small. They will always have the appearance and heart of children. "

"These fish are the same, no matter how you raise them, they won't grow up."

Hearing that it was not good enough to raise, Hu Er immediately lost interest and went back to the house to watch TV.

Only Li Qiuyou watched the little fish swimming around intently, very happy.Just watching them swim makes me happy.

Yu Qing found a glass bottle, picked up a few and gave it to him.

"The bottle is too small, don't you have a bigger bottle?" Li Qiuyou took it and said fondly.

Yu Qing smiled and said: "You can change the fish tank for them when you go back. When you have the ability, you can build a bigger pond for them. You can also put them into the river or the sea."

Li Qiuyou stayed silent.

The old house quietly reminded: "Xiao Yu, bad emotions cannot be exposed to sunlight, and neither can these troubled fish, otherwise they will dissipate."

Yu Qing thought for a while and said: "However, if you enter rivers, lakes and seas, as long as you swim deep enough, you should be able to survive."

"Well... I think it's ok." Lao Zhai said.

Yu Qing told the young man to pay attention to the fish.

After listening to this, Li Qiuyou was even more stunned, holding the small bottle of fish in a daze all afternoon.

"Why is he unhappy instead?" Yu Qing asked strangely.

"He is not unhappy. He is thinking." Lao Zhai said.

Yu Qing couldn't help poking him and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Li Qiuyou raised his head and looked in the direction of his home: "I was thinking, if what you said is true, what will happen if adults eat it? Will they have the same troubles as me?"

Now it was Yu Qing's turn to be stunned.
