章節 45: Chapter 45_1

With Gougou's "Emperor Ou" aura of blessing, Nanzhi felt a bit more confident. It wasn't that she was superstitious, but Gougou's luck was just so good, almost like the lucky koi fish characters she had read about in those novels.

Whether it was Gougou's words that had worked or the heavens didn't want to see mother and son starve, Nanzhi felt the weight when she lifted the fishing net again. The whole "net" was already covered with a layer of plump river shrimp, which remained still even out of water, waiting for Nanzhi to pour them into a wooden bucket with a grin, then they started hopping around as if they had just woken up.

"Wow, so many bugs." Gougou's eyes widened at the sight of the river shrimp in the wooden bucket.

Nanzhi continued to haul up another shrimp net, pouring the teeming river shrimp into the wooden bucket before calling Gougou to head home.

"Mom, are we going back to the river to catch bugs later?"
