Chapter 848 Invisible fish?
did not expect-
“I saw the fish.”

The unexpected words that reached his ears made Father Xiao's eyes widen, "Where is it?"

"It's in the gap in the sunken wood."

Xiao's mother stretched out her hand and pointed in a direction.

Father Xiao squinted his eyes hard and finally seemed to see a little golden color where Mother Xiao pointed.

"Is that the golden one?"

he confirmed.

"Yes, they are the two fish that Xiaoxiao kept in his house before."

"One is gold, and the other is black."

"Look, it's right there."

Seeing Father Xiao's sudden realization, Mother Xiao turned to look at Xiao Xiao, her face full of wonder and confusion, "Xiao Xiao, didn't you say you wanted to raise other fish?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, his lips curled slightly, "I want to raise other fish."

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao looked at each other.

Xiao's mother spoke up, "Xiaoxiao, you have confused mom and dad."

"Where do the other fish in this pond come from?"

……

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Father Xiao suddenly shouted, "It's very dangerous."

He grabbed Grandma Xiao who was about to squat down and get closer to the pool to look.

……

"Old woman, what are you doing?"

Grandpa Xiao reached out and took Grandma Xiao's other hand, "Bend your waist carefully."

"You think you're still young."

The old man couldn't help but complain.

……

"I'm in good health."

Grandma Xiao glanced at Grandpa Xiao.

But she didn't force it and stood up with the help of the two men.

"I just wanted to see what kind of fish my grandson would raise if he dug a pond in the yard."

……

"Mom, didn't you hear what we just said?"

Father Xiao was somewhat helpless, "Except for the two small fish that Xiaoxiao had kept in the house before, we didn't see any other fish in the pond."

……

"Who knows if your eyesight is not good?"

Grandma Xiao's words made Father Xiao's face more helpless. "Since my grandson said there are other fish in the pond, there must be."

"You didn't find it, let me look for it."

"Perhaps I shall find it if I look for it."

……

"Okay, Mom, don't move. I'll find it."

Father Xiao took Grandma Xiao back a few steps and said, "I'll show you when I find it."

……

"You can't find it?"

Grandma Xiao asked back very naturally, with a puzzled look on her face.

Father Xiao:......

……

"I'll find it."

Father Xiao vowed, and said word by word, "Mom, don't worry."

……

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom."

“The fish are here, you just can’t see them.”

Xiao Xiao chose to tell the truth.

Ever since he learned about the existence of the Demon Master Alliance and realized that although he was special, he was not the only one, he had fewer concerns in his heart.

And the boss and the others already know that I am different.

So, what is there to hide from your family?
……

The Xiao family was stunned.

What do you mean?
……

"Xiaoxiao, why are your words becoming more and more difficult to understand?"

Xiao's mother was confused.

……

"Xiaoxiao, please speak clearly."

Grandpa Xiao frowned slightly, "It's better not to say anything vague."

……

"What are you doing, old man?"

Grandma Xiao glared at Grandpa Xiao and asked, "Why are you so fierce?"

……

Grandpa Xiao:......

Is he vicious?

He is obviously not vicious!
……

"Xiaoxiao, ignore your grandpa, he-"

"and many more!"

Father Xiao, who had been silent as if thinking about something, called out, interrupting what Grandma Xiao was about to say.

…Everyone looked at Father Xiao.

……

There was a look of sudden relief on Father Xiao's face.

He had always felt that Xiaoxiao's words were a little strange.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with this apparently ordinary sentence?
……

After thinking hard, he finally found out, "Can't see it?"

Father Xiao vaguely sensed what Xiao Xiao wanted to express, "Didn't you... not see it?"

The bright expression on his face was once again covered by doubt.

What do you mean you can't see?
He knew the meaning of these three words very well whether they were taken separately or put together.

This is how it should be...

However, he now found himself a little unsure.

……

After hearing what Xiao's father said, the others finally reacted.

The expression on his face was the same as that of Xiao's father before, first realization, then confusion.

……

"Xiaoxiao?"

Mother Xiao couldn't help but look at her son, "Did you say something wrong?"

"Or are we overthinking it?"

……

Xiao Xiao looked at his father, "Dad, you are very perceptive."

The implication is that they did not misunderstand.

……

"You mean... there are actually fish in the pond-"

Father Xiao confirmed, "But we, your mother, grandpa and grandma, can't see them?"

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

……

"Xiaoxiao, are you tired?"

Mother Xiao took a step towards Xiao Xiao and asked with a worried look on her face, "It's been a busy day."

"Kid, who told you to build two ponds in just one day?"

"No one is urging you to do it."

……

"mom."

Xiao Xiao listened to his mother patiently before he slowly spoke, "I'm fine."

"I am not tired."

"I'm fine too."

……

Xiao's mother was speechless for a moment, and the worry on her face became even more intense.

If there is nothing wrong, why would you say such a weird thing?
……

Xiao Xiao's eyes swept over his mother, father, grandfather and grandmother one by one.

Although the worry varied in depth, everyone's faces showed the same look of worry.

He curved his lips and put his finger in front of his lips, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, listen."

……

"..."

Although puzzled, Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao and the two elders all quieted down.

They pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

……

The breeze blew through the leaves and branches in the yard, making a rustling sound.

In the distance, the flapping of wings and the calls of birds returning to their nests could be heard.

They can clearly hear the people around them and their own shallow breathing.

……

They are all very ordinary sounds.

They didn't understand what Xiao Xiao wanted them to listen to?
……

Just when Xiao's mother couldn't help but want to ask a question, she noticed the actions of Xiao's father beside her.

She turned to look.

I saw Father Xiao walking step by step towards the pond under the paulownia tree.

……

They were now by the pond under the white plum tree.

……

The expression on Mr. Xiao's face as it turned toward her was very strange.

There is surprise and also doubt.

There is even some hidden fear and vigilance.

……

Mother Xiao swallowed what she wanted to say.

The two old people also noticed something unusual about their son.

They looked at each other, and like Xiao's mother, they followed Xiao's father quietly.

……

Father Xiao stood under the paulownia tree.

Then he squatted down and leaned his upper body forward.
