Because Leng Hua had followed them onto the boat, Bai Qingcheng did not follow. Instead, she stopped at the shore and watched them get on the boat and row into the lake. The joyful laughter of the children on the boat spread like silver bells, echoing in the air and reaching everyone's ears.
On the boat, two children were sitting at the bow, watching the fish swimming in the water and laughing happily. Little Yue'er leaned out and stretched out her hand to catch some, but was stopped.
"Yuer, you can't do this, you will fall into the lake." Xuanyuan Moze said in a calm voice. After watching his daughter retract her hand, he relaxed his expression with satisfaction and said, "Just sit on the boat and watch."
As he spoke, he looked towards Leng Hua.
Leng Hua smiled slightly and asked the boatman for a long bamboo pole with a pointed end that could be used to catch fish.
"Watch carefully." Leng Hua said as he stood by and looked at the fish in the water beside the boat. When he found a larger fish, he thrust the bamboo pole in his hand into the water. With a whoosh, the sharp bamboo pole pierced through the water and into the bodies of the swimming fish.
"Ah! I caught it!" Yue'er clapped her hands with joy, a surprised smile on her little face.
When little Muchen saw that the bamboo pole had pierced a fish, he couldn't help but smile, and kept his eyes on the fish on the bamboo pole.
“Crash!”
Leng Hua lifted the bamboo pole, and the palm-sized fish that had been stabbed began to struggle in the sunlight until it became motionless.
"There's a fish basket here." Little Muchen quickly handed the fish basket to Leng Hua.
After putting the fish in, Leng Hua looked at them and said, "Do you want to try it?"
"think!"
The two children responded at the same time, looking at Leng Hua expectantly. Before they finished, they looked at Xuanyuan Moze who was standing with his hands behind his back and asked, "Daddy, can we give it a try?"
"Yeah." Xuanyuan Moze responded, "Be careful and don't fall into the water."
"Yeah." The two children nodded quickly.
They stood by the boat, and Leng Hua led them in catching fish. Some were big, some were small. The water splashed and wet the corners of their clothes, but the two children still had a lot of fun.
When it was getting dark, they took a carriage to the pastry shop in the city.
"Lord Yan, can I go buy some cakes and bring them back?" Leng Hua looked at Xuanyuan Moze. Seeing that it was getting dark, he thought it would be better not to stay outside for too long. It would be no different if he bought cakes and brought them back to eat.
"It's okay, let's go down together! We'll take them to the night market later." Xuanyuan Moze said, and got off the carriage first, then got off with the two children in his arms.
"I'll stay and guard the carriage, you guys go in!" Bai Qingcheng said as he drove the carriage to the back.
The two children held Xuanyuan Moze's hands, one on each side, and entered the pastry shop, heading to the second floor. Leng Hua followed behind them. After sitting down on the second floor, Leng Hua ordered some signature pastries and tea, then waited on the side.
"Daddy, I need to go to the bathroom." Little Muchen said, looking at Xuanyuan Moze.
"I want to go too, I want to go too." Little Yue'er raised her little hand and said with a smile, walked forward and held her brother's hand, saying: "Yue'er will go with brother."
Xuanyuan Moze glanced at the two of them and said to Leng Hua, "Take them there! Let Qingcheng follow Yue'er."
