Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 216 A Shocking Glimpse of Huaqing Pool (Part )
In the courtyard.

After Liu Xi and the other two left, Aunt Sun glanced at the paper in her hand.

Instant time.

Her body trembled, her face suddenly looked at a loss, her hand loosened, and the paper slowly fell to the ground in the yard.

The paper that was mostly written on was undoubtedly the detailed summary of Liu Xi's remarriage that he had obtained from his teacher Yan Yong.

Among them, in the column for remarriage, it was clearly written: Wuyang City, Otto family, grandson of the second elder Otto, Otto Dang.

Liu Xi's move was undoubtedly intended to get straight to the point!
……

Outside the courtyard, Liu Xi held Liu Xiaowen's hand and walked out of the Liu family under the attention of clan members along the way.

During this period, Liu Xiaowen was a little silent. I wonder what the reason was?
Or maybe, even this nine-year-old girl is a little sensitive in her thinking?

Noticing his sister's silence, Liu Xi pondered for a moment and decided to tell her some necessary things.

After all, a nine-year-old girl is not considered old in this world, but she is still young and has gradually entered the age of understanding things.

However, when Liu Xi tactfully told Liu Xiaowen that her mother might remarry, she did not seem surprised.

"Brother, Xiaowen actually knows."

"Know?"

Hearing this, Liu Xi was the one who was surprised and couldn't help asking:

"But did your aunt tell you about it?"

Liu Xiaowen shook her head slightly, looking hesitant as she walked on the busy street outside the family mansion. Her petite figure subconsciously moved a little closer to Liu Xi, which made it difficult for the two siblings to move their hands freely.

"Mom didn't tell me, but Xiaowen could guess, and... could also feel that in the past few months, Mom's mind has been almost entirely on the outside..."

Liu Xiaowen leaned against Liu Xi, half lowered her head, and whispered softly:

"Actually... Xiao Wen saw that man once, about half a year ago, on the street in the north of the city. He was only a few years older than you, brother, with brown hair... But at that time, I was probably not very familiar with him, and I might not even know his name... But the man was very proactive and gave me a gift...

After I went back, my mother was absent-minded for more than half a month. Later, she started to leave me at home every few days like today, going out in the morning and coming back in the afternoon...

Some time ago, when the tribe was testing the progress of cultivation, I heard some people in the tribe talking about my mother. What they said... was not very pleasant. When they saw me, they pointed fingers at me..."

By my side.

Liu Xi listened to Liu Xiaowen quietly, but he didn't know what he felt at the moment.

His adopted sister, who is only nine years old, has already begun to come into contact with and understand some of the deeper aspects of the interpersonal circles. He really doesn't know what to say at this moment.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that her mind was as clear as a mirror, why would he have said that?
Under Liu Xiaowen's slightly puzzled gaze, he slowly stopped by the roadside and paid a few copper coins to the street vendor selling snacks. Then, Liu Xi had a bag of hazelnut crisps covered with a layer of fruit paste in his hand.

Of course, this can also be called the "sugar beans" of this other world.

He let go of her hand and then "stuffed" a temptingly colored candy bean into her little mouth.

The sweet fruit pulp on the surface of the sugar beans gradually melts in your mouth.

Liu Xiaowen chewed slowly with her small mouth, the candy beans were crushed, the crunchy texture of the hazelnut inside, the aroma of the hazelnut kernels, and the sour and sweet taste of the melted fruit pulp mixed together, spreading in her mouth, throat, and lungs.

On the face that had originally revealed a hint of depression, a unique childlike smile that belonged only to a little girl of this age slowly blossomed towards Liu Xi.

"Brother is so kind!"

Liu Xi smiled gently, handed the oil paper containing several candy beans to Liu Xiaowen, and said:

"Let's go to Huaqing Pond in the east of the city to see the koi."

"Ok!"

Liu Xiaowen nodded her head vigorously, her big eyes narrowed in a smile, looking so adorable and endearing.

……

The brother and sister walked and stopped along the way. When they arrived at Huaqing Pool in the east of the city, Liu Xiaowen's arms were already filled with large and small bags of snacks, as well as some relatively rare toys for a little girl of her age.

Huaqing Pool is actually a small stream that branches out from the Canaan River outside Hechuan City and spreads to the east of the city. With human intervention in the city, a magnificent pool with a radius of nearly one mile was formed in the low-lying areas.

There is an underground river flowing under the pool, and there is no siltation, so the water is clear and transparent. In the daytime, the water ripples under the sunlight, and it is called Huaqing Pool.

In the huge pond, there are thousands of koi fish naturally breeding. Under the control of the five major families in the city, no one dares to pollute the water quality or blatantly catch the ornamental fish.

Walking on the huge stone arch bridge that spans the entire Huaqing Pool, the sun in the sky has already set most of the way to the west, and it seems that it will not be far from setting. There are many people walking on the bridge. The brother and sister stopped at the highest railing in the middle of the bridge. Liu Xi took out the big bag of fishing bait that he had bought before climbing the bridge, grabbed a handful, and sprinkled it into the pool below.

Wow~
Wow~
Hundreds of granular fish baits fell into the water of the pond with a splash.

next moment.

The brother and sister and people passing by on the bridge saw that the moment the bait was thrown into the water, koi with colorful scales from the deep and distant parts of the pond rushed to the shallow water area, came under the stone arch bridge, and swallowed the bait.

Perhaps because they had never been hunted by people in the city, these koi were not afraid of people at all. After scrambling to eat the bait scattered by Liu Xi, they gathered into a group, jumping out of the water and falling down again. The scene was quite spectacular. They must be hoping that the people on the bridge would scatter more bait.

"Come on, try it..."

Liu Xi said to Liu Xiaowen beside him with a smile.

As he spoke, he was about to hand a large bag of bait into his arms.

However, in a moment, when he saw Liu Xiaowen, whose arms were full of bags and whose hands were busy taking the bait, and a hint of resentment in her big eyes, he couldn't help but laugh.

He put those things into the ring. Liu Xiaowen happily took the bait from him, and couldn't wait to grab a handful with her little hands and throw it under the bridge.

A handful.

Take one.

All of a sudden, in the Huaqing Pool below, more and more koi fish came to the bait, and a spectacular scene appeared as thousands of koi fish jumped to the surface of the water and swallowed the bait.

On the bridge, people passing by on both sides of the bridge saw this scene and looked at the two figures, one big and one small, in the center of the bridge arch with some toothache.

You know, the fishing bait sold exclusively by the five major families is not cheap. Just one handful will cost you several gold coins. Ordinary people can't afford it at all.

Of course, after they saw clearly that Liu Xi was wearing an alchemist's robe, they all withdrew their gazes at the same time.

Well, let’s just do our own thing and go our own way!
