Jiang Yao looked at the man who was concentrating in the water. After some thought, she couldn't help but defend herself. "I'm not thinking of anything. You're the one who's dreaming."
Lu Xingzhi turned around to look at Jiang Yao, then made a shushing gesture at her to be quiet and not to make the fish go away. However, when he turned back around, his face was full of ridicule.
Jiang Yao sat by the side and watched. Fish would follow the light at night. This was common knowledge that people who had lived in the countryside knew. When Jiang Yao was young, she used to catch fish at night with Jiang Lei. However, the largest fish in the river in Jiang Yao Village was only as wide as an adult's palm. However, the fish in this pool were quite fat, perhaps due to the good environment. They swam quickly in the water. Those with poor eyesight would think that there were monsters swimming in the water at night.
The two of them stared at the water quietly. After about seven or eight minutes, a black shadow gathered in the area where the flashlight shone. The black shadow seemed to be playing a game of chasing the light as it swam to Lu Xingzhi's side.
Jiang Yao only saw Lu Xingzhi's hand holding the military knife move quickly. The next time, half of his body was in the water. A few seconds later, when he raised his hand, there was a fish almost as wide as his palm on the military knife.
Lu Xingzhi took the struggling fish off the military knife and threw it ashore. Then, he continued to look for his next target.
Lu Xingzhi's movements were very fast. In just a few minutes, there were already three fish of different sizes lying at Jiang Yao's feet. Seeing Lu Xingzhi raise the military knife again, Jiang Yao mischievously picked up a small stone beside her and threw it at the spot where he was about to stab.
Unsurprisingly, he fell into empty air.
The stone she threw into the water created a ripple, scaring away the fish around Lu Xingzhi. The stone fell into the water and created a splash that wet his face.
Seeing him look at her with a frown, Jiang Yao giggled like a naughty child who had succeeded in a prank. She laughed arrogantly and proudly.
"It's just the two of us. Three is enough." Jiang Yao walked towards the pool and reached out to Lu Xingzhi, gesturing for him to be pulled up.
However, she didn't expect there to be moss on the stones beside the pool. She stepped on them and slipped.
"Ah!" Jiang Yao exclaimed in a low voice.
Lu Xingzhi quickly ran to the shore and raised his hand to support her upper body. That was the only reason she didn't fall into the water.
"There's moss on the stones beside the water. Hurry back to the shore and don't get close." Lu Xingzhi let Jiang Yao support him by the shoulders to regain her balance. Then, he immediately asked Jiang Yao to retreat.
After she retreated to a distance, he nimbly jumped back onto the shore and walked towards Jiang Yao. "Did you bump into anything just now?"
He wasn't sure if he had arrived in time, so he wasn't sure if she had been injured.
"I'm fine." Jiang Yao shook her head. "I was just shocked."
Jiang Yao shook off the water droplets on her hands. Although Lu Xingzhi supported her body, her shoes and hands were still wet.
However, it was also because of that fall that Jiang Yao realized that the temperature of the water in the pool at night was colder than during the day. It was clearly summer, but her wet shoes and hands felt that the temperature of the water was a little bone-chilling.
