Qi Qingyao’s instincts told her it was pure luck that she had found firewood and pheasants previously. That had been unexpected luck, the remains left behind by powerhouses at the scene after a fight. There was no way that more than a dozen pheasants were still waiting for her to gather them up, right?

It was winter, so there were no wild fruits for them to collect.

Even less so any grains…

In that case, the only thing left was the river.

Although it was not the flood season, catching a few fishes was “the only feasible operation”, aka Plan C!

Linquan Village was nearby Jiuli River.

Jiuli River was a river that flowed through the entire Qingzhou City.

Women in the village often went downstream to wash clothes in the summer, while some people liked to go upstream to fetch water! Following the route in her memory, they walked to Jiuli River, and choose a spot.

At a glance, the whole river was shrouded by fog. She could not see how wide the river was.

Qi Qingyao put her wooden buckets, axe, and fis.h.i.+ng rod down.

Then, she settled down the three little ones.

“The riverbank is cold and dangerous, so the three of you just sit here under the tree and wait. Mommy will fish there alone.”

“Okay, we’ll wait for Mommy obediently!”

The three little ones sat tightly next to each other.

Seeing that the children were being so obedient, Qi Qingyao was able to leave them with ease and went to one side of the wetland with her axe to dig for bait.

She had to get some earthworms.

If there was no bait, then there would be no fish that would get caught!

She was not Grand Duke Jiang, after all…¹

After digging up a large nest of earthworms, Qi Qingyao happily hooked the earthworm on as bait and started to swing the rod!

As the saying goes, one has to be patient when fis.h.i.+ng. After casting her fis.h.i.+ng rod, she turned her head and glanced at the little children who were obediently sitting in their spots, and thought to herself that as an adult, she could not be impatient. She had picked up some fis.h.i.+ng skills while in Alaska in her previous life! This time, it finally came in handy.

She had to sit tight and fish, just like Grand Duke Jiang!

Qi Qingyao held the fis.h.i.+ng rod tightly and waited patiently.

She felt that everything was difficult at the beginning. She had to wait at least ten minutes for the first fish to take the bait, but within two minutes, there was a fish biting the bait!

Qi Qingyao was dumbstruck for a moment, but she quickly pulled the line, then stood up abruptly to lift the fis.h.i.+ng rod up.

She saw a golden light pa.s.sing by in front of her eyes.

Qi Qingyao stared at the koi fish, startled.

The three little ones had not expected that their Mommy would catch something so soon. They stood up excitedly and rushed over. Erniu’s dark eyes were wide open. “Mommy, it’s a golden fishy!!”

Qi Qingyao scratched her head, looked at the Jiuli River, and muttered, “Koi fish. There are koi fishes in this river?”

“Koi fish??” Xiaobao did not understand what a koi fish was. In his eyes, this was just a golden carp.

“What’s a koi fish?” Erniu asked as she tilted her head.

“I know!” Dabao remembered something suddenly, and said like a little adult, “Grandfather once said that there are four koi temples in Qingzhou City, and one of them is in Baishui Town! According to the rumors, whoever is able to catch a koi fish will be able to receive supreme fortune! They’ll receive the blessing of the Koi G.o.d.”

“Is there such a legend?” Qi Qingyao asked with a smile as she looked at the koi fish with its mouth still hanging open.

“Is this type of golden fishy a koi fishy?” Erniu asked extremely innocently and cutely.

Dabao drawled with a thick nasal sound, “I also don’t know… Anyway, there’s a temple fair at the koi temple every month. Grandmother used to go shopping with Auntie-in-law and the others at the temple fair and wors.h.i.+pped the Koi G.o.d while they were at it!”

Erniu smiled particularly happily. “Mom Mom Mom~~ Mommy, we have Mommy, so we’re very blessed babies.” Every sentence was like candy dripping with honey.

“That’s right, we don’t need the blessing of some Koi G.o.d, we have Mommy!” Xiaobao also agreed.

Qi Qingyao smiled and said, “You guys don’t need the blessing of the Koi G.o.d, but Mommy needs it! ~~Come on, I’ll put this koi fish in the bucket first.”
