Naruto: Tenten is my fiancée

Chapter 223: Small River

It is late July and the summer is hot and scorching.

Since Karin became her apprentice, she has been running to Maple Leaf Villa every day, and then meditating, practicing martial arts and reading with her master. Like Tiantian, Li Qing also made a study schedule and daily class schedule for Karin. The courses and study plans are not fixed and will be modified according to Karin's learning situation.

After a few months, regardless of her talent, her perseverance alone is enough to attract people's attention. She has a little bit of various talents, none of which are the best, but this is already very good.

This day was a rest day in the schedule, so he only needed to meditate and practice boxing. After doing his daily homework, Li Qing prepared to take a few little girls to the small river at the foot of the mountain to cool off.

There are several small rivers at the foot of Maple Leaf Mountain. When there is little rain, the small rivers become streams. Because it is upstream, most of the pebbles are washed smooth, and there is almost no sediment accumulation. This environment is the best for catching crabs.

At Tiantian's request, Li Qing changed out of her Taoist robe today and put on a set of shorts and a T-shirt that Tiantian bought for her. They were the same style as Tiantian's. I don't know who taught her how to buy couple outfits. Even her hair was let down by Tiantian and tied up casually at the back.

Seeing that Master and Tiantian were wearing casual clothes, the other two little girls also went back to change their clothes. Li Qing also gave each of them a sun hat.

After everything was ready, Li Qing led the group dressed in summer clothes down the mountain on foot. Li Qing held a bamboo pole, Tian Tian held a bucket, Karin held a fishing net, and Chun held some seasonings. At noon, Li Qing did not plan to go home, but to have a picnic outside.

None of them had ever experienced what a picnic was like, so Li Qing could be considered a teacher leading students in a summer camp today.

"We are going to go down to the creek to catch crabs. Let's sing a nursery rhyme about crabs! Actually, you are all still children now."

After saying this, Li Qing couldn't help but smile. Regardless of their age, they were still children mentally. Especially Tenten and Karin. If they were still raised in the environment of the Ninja Village, they would probably be dreaming of becoming ninjas now. But after a few years, their innocence would be completely wiped out.

Hearing Li Qing's laughter, the three little girls also laughed. Although they didn't understand why, they just wanted to laugh.

"Little crab, walk sideways."

After Li Qing sang the first sentence, several little girls started singing along.

"Little crab, walk sideways, you are free on the beach."

"Staring with wide eyes and waving fists, danger hides in the sand."

"A small crab with eight legs that can scare away fish and shrimp."

"Hide quietly in the cave, wait for food to come and bite it with pincers."

"It's a small crab, very nutritious, but it's bad for fishermen."

"Once you catch them in a fish cage, there is nowhere to escape. You boil, fry, stir-fry, and eat them as a snack."

......

Li Qing sang nursery rhymes with the three little girls as they walked, and they were very happy for a while.

Shilang, who was hiding in the dark, was confused. Which one was the real young master?

However, it was at this time that she realized that the young master was just a child who had just turned five years old. Seeing the young master's innocent side, Juro's expression, which had not changed before, seemed to soften a little.

Li Qing was going to lead them upstream from the downstream, so they had to walk a distance. They walked along the riverside path, and from time to time they could see a cluster of bamboo, which was planted by the river to stabilize the riverbank. Li Qing saw that the silt in the stream had increased significantly, so he stopped and continued forward.

"Let's start from here!"

The river channel is not narrow, but there is only a small stream of water in the middle of the river. There are pebbles of varying sizes in the river channel. From a distance, the water looks like it is jumping out from the cracks in the rocks. The gurgling stream sounds like the stream is singing, with a clear and lively voice.

Several people were wearing sandals, and they felt an icy cool sensation as soon as they touched the water, as if they were touched by a small icy hand. Tiantian jumped up as soon as it touched them.

"Wow! It's so cool!"

Tiantian couldn't help but shout out, and the other two little girls also felt very cool. This was the first time that Tiantian and Karin went into the river. The place where Tsubaki had stayed before was all water, and the environment was not much different from the river.

In places like this one, which are close to the upstream source, the water flows quickly, so almost all the mud and sand have been washed away, leaving only smooth stones. They are not only beautiful to look at, but also comfortable to walk on.

The crabs in the ditch were not as big as those in the water. They were all small and thin. They had all eaten crabs before, but had never caught them. Li Qing had to teach them first.

"Follow me! Catching crabs in the ditch is very easy. See these big and small stones? We just need to move them away, and then you can basically see the crabs."

As Li Qing spoke, the others followed his movements and watched his movements intently. Li Qing found a flat stone that was neither too big nor too small and moved it away. Sure enough, there was a small crab in the wet area below. Li Qing pressed the back of the small crab with one finger, and then looked at the little girls and spoke.

"When we catch crabs, we should be careful to reach out from behind and above to prevent them from pinching our hands. Our thumb and index finger should be in the shape of pincers, like this..."

Li Qing gently placed the thumb and index finger of his right hand on both sides of the crab's two erected eyes from behind. With his fingers closed, the crab was controlled and no matter how its two large claws shook, it could not get rid of it.

"This way, your hands won't get pinched. If you use the wrong method, your hands will easily get pinched. Remember that?"

"remember!"

The three little girls answered in unison, nodding their heads.

Kang dang

Li Qing threw the crabs into the bucket that Tiantian was holding. Once in the bucket, the crabs rushed around, but they kept spinning and couldn't find a way out.

"whee..."

Tiantian found this scene amusing and laughed out loud.

"Let's go together! It's still a long way to go!"

After hearing Li Qing's words, the others put down their things and prepared to turn over all the stones in this area. They started working as soon as they said they would.

Kang dang

Tiantian quickly caught a crab and threw it into the bucket. It was the same scene as before, and Tiantian smiled again.

Kang dang

Soon, Chun also caught a crab.

When the little crab raised its claws, it looked really cute. When several people were catching crabs, they all found it very interesting and laughed a lot.

After Li Qing moved a relatively large stone, he actually found several large items, including three crabs and a crucian carp.

"Look!"

Hearing the call, several little girls hurried over to see, their eyes suddenly brightened. The scene before them seemed to make them feel the feeling of a great harvest.

"Don't let them run away, let's do it together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing took the lead, and the others followed closely.

Kang dang

Kang dang

The sound of water entering the barrel was heard several times in succession, and it seemed like the sound of nature in everyone's ears.

This is a full sense of achievement!
