Chapter 137 Harvest and Return to School

Xiao Xiao looked at the two bighead carps in the glass jar and smiled with satisfaction.

"Awoo~" Taotie lay on the glass jar and looked at the rich fish inside with a greedy look on his face.

"Giggle~"

The minnows were frightened and ran around in panic.

The veins on Xiao Xiao's forehead jumped, "This is not for you to eat."

"What?" Zhuge Yun, who happened to be walking over, asked in confusion, "Old Third, what did you just say?"

"Nothing, just talking to myself." Xiao Xiao was startled, but quickly calmed down and said casually.

"Oh, have you finished filling the water? If so, let's go back."

"I'm so hungry." Zhuge Yun looked pale.

“.…..Let’s go back.” Xiao Xiao actually wanted to ask, how could a guy who ate so much for breakfast have the nerve to say he was hungry so soon?

However, Xiao Xiao swallowed his complaint in the end.

"Let's go, let's go." Zhuge Yun called out loudly.

Xiao Xiao took one last look at the lake. It was as calm as ever. The clear blue water was like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds.

Schools of bighead carp swam leisurely among the sky and cloud shadows, swinging their long bird-like tails.

Their figures appear and disappear in the alternating flickering state, as if they are traveling between virtuality and reality.

If it weren't for that striking red touch, they would seem to melt into the water.

The minnow regained its composure, as if the previous shock was just an illusion.

“Chuckle~Chuckle~”

……

"You think it won't take so much time for us to go out?" Zhuge Yun was a little worried.

The excitement before departure, the nervousness and anticipation while searching, the trembling and fear when hearing the laughter, and the irrepressible excitement when coming to terms with it, the ups and downs of emotions, coupled with walking so many mountain roads, made me feel tired.

Zhuge Yun now wanted a bed or a chair so that he could lie down and relax.

"Who knows." Zhang Bo shook the mineral water bottle in his hand and asked on a whim, "Do you think there is a water ghost in my water bottle?"

"Haha." Zhao Luzheng grinned, "Do you want to try drinking it? If you get sprayed with water again, it means there is a water ghost in your bottle."

"Forget it then." Zhang Bo thought about it but still couldn't drink the lake water in the bottle without feeling disgusted.

"You think, is that really a water ghost?" Zhuge Yun became uncertain again.

"Didn't you say that?" Zhang Bo said that you have a really good memory.

"I'm just asking." Zhuge Yun smiled awkwardly. He was actually just talking nonsense at that time and couldn't take it seriously.

"Boss, you really didn't see it? I think it might be some kind of fish." Although Zhao Luzheng is very interested in the supernatural, he understands that this is a technological society and everything can be explained by technology. How can there be any real mysterious events?

"Didn't you just search in the lake for a long time, but found nothing?" Zhang Bo was not very interested in ghosts and weird things.

In fact, if he were to say, it might really be a fish that sprayed water on his face, but the fish hid it too well and they didn't notice it.

"However, if we really talk about the person who brought the water ghost back..." Everyone looked at Xiao Xiao in unison.

It is possible that such a big glass jar could actually contain a water ghost, right?

"Really? Maybe I really did pretend to be a water ghost."

"No, maybe more than one."

Xiao Xiao grinned at Zhang Bo and the others, but they couldn't help but feel a chill running up their spines.

"Hehe." Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng smiled unnaturally.

"Lao San (Third Brother), you really know how to joke."

Are you kidding? Xiao Xiao shrugged, "Who knows."

……

"It's out!" Zhuge Yun cheered. Unlike the previous silence, the sound of birds and insects could be heard continuously, and the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the branches was particularly clear and pleasant.

Even the sunshine is warm and comfortable.

It's not like near the lake, where the sun is shining on your body but there is no warmth at all.

"That's great." Zhang Bo wiped his sweat.

Zhao Luzheng also breathed a sigh of relief. "I almost thought we were going to run into a ghost again."

Looking at everyone's relieved expressions, Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Let's go, it's already noon, uncle and aunt are waiting for us to eat."

……

Xiao Xiao and his friends stayed at Zhang Bo's house for two nights.

It was already Sunday afternoon when I returned to school.

As the sun sets, the sky and the earth are filled with a brilliant red glow.

Large patches of fiery clouds are beautiful and magnificent, spreading to the distant horizon.

"It's so beautiful." Xiao Xiao and others who were walking on the campus exclaimed in admiration.

Zhuge Yun also took a few photos and uploaded them to his own space.

……

The beautiful scenery seemed to bring some comfort to their tired bodies and minds from the journey.

"Hehe, many people said they want to learn from us, and they will also drink some lake water when they hear laughter at Mengzi Mountain in the future."

Zhuge Yun was looking through his phone and was somewhat amused when he saw these replies.

"Third brother, you still have an idea."

Xiao Xiao: ...

Xiao Xiao felt that if they really did this, rumors might soon spread that Meng Zishan's laughter had disappeared.

……

After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Xiao took out the glass jar first. He felt relieved when he saw the two bighead carps swimming around energetically.

He put the jar on the desk.

Now he has a fish tank and two glass jars on his desk.

"Third brother, half of your desk is occupied." Zhuge Yun glanced at Xiao Xiao's desk and said jokingly.

"Who told the third brother to buy not only a big fish tank but also such a big glass jar?" Zhang Bo was puzzled by Xiao Xiao's hobby. "If I hadn't only had mineral water bottles with me, how could I have brought back so much water? I could have just used a small bottle. It would have looked better."

"Indeed, the mineral water bottle is a bit ugly." Zhuge Yun frowned in disdain, "I'll buy a glass bottle online."

"Hey, I have it." Zhao Luzheng took out a glass jar that used to hold scented tea. This was a glass jar of chrysanthemum tea that his mother insisted he bring when he went home one day because she saw that he was getting angry.

The chrysanthemum tea had been finished long ago, but he still kept the glass jar.

I think about taking it home someday, but I always forget.

It just comes in handy now.

This glass jar is short and fat, with a capacity of 500 ml, which can almost hold a whole bottle of mineral water.

Zhao Lu was unscrewing the cap of a mineral water bottle and pouring water into it. When it was almost full, he put on the glass lid and fastened the metal button with a "click".

"All right."

Zhao Luzheng also pasted a label with the words "The Mysterious Lake of Mencius Mountain" written on it.

"Youngest, you have everything." Zhuge Yun leaned over and picked up the glass jar, looking at it from left to right.

“I want to buy a glass jar like this too.

"Please bring one for me too." Zhang Bo also felt that this looked much better.
