Chapter 35 Klee's Fishing Method

puff~
A dull sound was heard beside the Xingluo Lake. On the light blue fishing catch, a fat bass was struggling hard. Xiangling threw the bass to the shore with a smile on her face. She had already thought of the cooking method for the bass. It would be perfect if it was stir-fried with Jueyun pepper.

"Sister Xiangling, are you catching fish?"

After playing with Guoba for a while, Klee accidentally discovered several more bass on the shore. Klee came to Xiangling and looked at the catch in her hand curiously. In Mondstadt, people mostly rely on nets and fishing rods to catch fish. As for harpoons, not many Mondstadt people use them. It was the first time that Klee saw this kind of fishing tool.

"Yes, little Keri, do you want to try it?"

Xiangling wiped the blood of the sea bass off the tip of the catch and handed the catch to Klee. Klee's eyes lit up and an eager expression appeared on her face. Klee was very interested in this new thing.

However, Klee obviously underestimated the weight of the catch. When Xiangling put the catch in Klee's hand, Klee felt her hand sink. In a hurry, she could only hold the handle of the catch with both hands.

Looking up at the sharp point of the catch that was emitting a cold chill in the sun, Klee shrank her head. This tool was several heads taller than her, so Klee didn't know how to swing it like Xiangling for a moment.

Xiangling on the side scratched her head. It seemed too early to give this thing to Klee. However, Klee looked very interested in catching fish so Xiangling couldn't take the catch back immediately. So the situation fell into a strange silence.

"How about I get a smaller wooden harpoon for Klee?"

"There are quite a lot of trees around Starfall Lake. It shouldn't take too long to make a small branch harpoon."

Ruo Jin discovered that there were not only many trees but also abundant resources around Xingluo Lake. When he was collecting firewood, he also grabbed a lot of "ingredients" that Xiangling might need later.

Now, to make a small wooden harpoon, you can just use some branches. When Ruo Jin was a child, in order to practice the sudden increase in strength due to the awakening of the Rola Dragon King, he used to carve some strange little gadgets out of wood and stone to exercise his control. This method was told to him by the Rola Dragon King.

"No, no, brother Ruojin, there's no need to go through so much trouble."

"Sister Xiangling, can Keli help you catch fish?"

After returning the catch to Xiangling, Klee then remembered why she had sneaked into Xingluo Lake today. Sister Xiangling happened to want to catch fish. If she helped Xiangling fry the fish, Captain Jean would probably not lecture Klee, after all, Klee was helping others.

Thinking of what Kaeya had said to her about not being lectured by Captain Jean, Klee felt that there was no way she would be put in solitary confinement by Captain Jean this time. She, Klee, was doing a good deed today.

"Catching fish, this..."

Considering the depth of the Xingluo Lake and Klee's height, Xiangling hesitated. She was worried that Klee couldn't swim and would accidentally fall into the water. When she was a child, her father often scared her with lies like there were water monkeys in the water. The naive girl believed it, which led to her not daring to learn swimming for a long time.

"Little Keri, can you swim?"

"Swimming? Klee can do it." In the past, in order to be able to catch the fish that were stunned in the water, Klee went to Amber to learn how to swim and how to use the Wings of Wind. With these two skills, the anglers in Mondstadt have never encountered the "gift from the god of wind" flowing from the upper reaches of the lake to the lower reaches. Some anglers who have not encountered it even listened to this incident as a story.

"Well, since you can swim, Klee, let's go catch some fish. Brother Jin, please keep an eye on Klee."

"No, no, Sister Xiangling. Keli can catch fish without going into the water, and it's very easy. Sister Xiangling, you come up first."

Klee put her hands on her waist and acted like she was very powerful and asked Xiangling to go ashore first. Xiangling was a little confused when she heard that she could catch fish without going into the water, but seeing Klee's confident look, Xiangling still went ashore half-believingly.

Ruo Jin, who had built a simple stove with stones nearby, also turned his eyes to Klee. A cute little girl could catch fish so easily. Could it be that little Klee had mastered some advanced fishing techniques?
With doubts in her mind, Ruo Jin saw Keli put the small backpack she was carrying on the ground, and then took out a round object that looked like a small toy from the bag.

Could it be that the fish in the Starfall Lake have evolved to have the same hobbies as children? Instead of bait, they use small toys to bait the nest? Seeing Keli throw the small toy in her hand into the Starfall Lake, Ruo Jin suddenly had this question in his mind.

The next second, a loud roar interrupted Ruo Jin's doubts. He saw a column of water rising into the sky from Xingluo Lake. The huge column of water carried five or six bass and hit the shore. Only then did Ruo Jin understand that this was not a toy at all, but a powerful bomb.

This, Klee's parents are too confident in Klee. They put a bomb of this powerful in Klee's schoolbag and let her carry it with her. What if something happens?

"Jin, Jin brother, if I, I, I am not mistaken, the water column just now was caused by the explosion of the thing that Klee threw down, right?"

“Lululu!”

Xiangling and Guoba, who were startled by the sudden explosion, looked at Klee, who was having fun frying fish on the shore, with some horror. Why was this little girl, who was about the same age as Yaoyao, so skilled at using bombs to blow up fish? It looked like this was more than the first or second time she had done this.

Thinking about how she was still playing in the mud and collecting beautiful flowers when she was Klee's age, Xiangling felt for the first time that there was such a huge gap between children in different countries.

"Boss Ruota, are all the children in Mondstadt so wild? Why do I feel like I was a good kid compared to Klee when I was a kid?"

Ruojin swallowed deeply. When he was Keli's age, he could only play with small firecrackers. Moreover, his family didn't let him play with many of them, as they were worried that he would get blown up.

"Don't ask me. I don't know. I vaguely remember that Morax didn't mention these things when he talked to me about Mond."

Not only Xiangling and Ruojin were confused, but the Rhodo Dragon King in Ruojin's body was equally confused. This was the first time in his entire life that he had seen a child like Klee. The little girl who went up the mountain to collect herbs during the Demon War was not as wild as Klee.

Just when Ruojin and his companions were confused and Klee was concentrating on frying fish, the bass living in Xingluo Lake also gathered together. Under the leadership of a bass leader, the bass gathered together seemed to be discussing some plan. The target of the plan was Klee who was throwing bombs into the water on the shore.
