Bai Qiyun wiped the water stains on his face with his right hand.

The water that just splashed directly buried his whole body, and his eyes were covered with mist, making it impossible for him to see anything clearly.

If it weren't for the sound of singing birds around him, he would have thought he was taking a bath.

"Sorry, big brother..."

Keli, who knew she had done something wrong, froze on the spot for a while, then quickly ran over to wipe Bai Qiyun's body.

But he didn't have the bad taste to let the little girl do such a thing, so he waved his hand to indicate that she didn't have to do this.

The drowned boy walked to his backpack and took out some materials for making a fire and a new set of clothes.

As a qualified traveler, it is reasonable to put a spare set of clothes in your backpack.

Flint and stone intertwined, and soon, flying sparks were running around under the clothes that were hung up, and hot flames began to rise.

Although it is not uncomfortable to be shirtless in the hot summer, there are still children around, so Bai Qiyun had to put on another set of clothes.

"Kelly."

The little guy's hair stood up when his name was called.

——What should I do? What should I do? I am probably going to be reprimanded.

Keli lowered her head and walked to Bai Qiyun like other children who had made mistakes, waiting for the other party to respond.

"That bomb of yours..."

Bai Qiyun, who was sitting casually on the ground, recalled the scene just now. It seemed that when Keli took action, she shouted...'Bounce bomb'?

Did that kind of bomb actually have a name?

Eh, no, where did she get that thing from?

With suspicious eyes, Bai Qiyun looked up and down Keli, making her panic.

If you want to train people, then train them. Now it is much scarier to just stare at people without talking than to train them.

Keli swallowed, suppressed her restless heart, and clutched her schoolbag strap tightly with her little hands, feeling a little nervous.

Hmm? Schoolbag?

Bai Qiyun looked at the little guy's schoolbag.

Could it be that that thing was taken out from here?

Um, so is the entire backpack...

"Ahem, Keli, you know that using bombs to blow up fish can accidentally injure people."

In order to protect his own personal safety, Bai Qiyun decided to persuade Keli to give up the idea of ​​using bombs to fry fish. After all, it would be too annoying if a round bomb exploded in front of you.

As a civilized person, how can you use such vulgar methods?

"Keli knew she was wrong. She set off bombs in the city to report to the solitary room. A bomb injured Qin and came to the door. She set fire to the mountain and Keli was finished."

The elf muttered a lot of things, which made Bai Qiyun a little confused.

"Wait a minute, aren't those regulations in Mondstadt?"

"Regulations? I don't know, that's what Brother Kaiya told me anyway."

Kaia, that man looks very dangerous.

A strange face with dark skin and an eye patch appeared in Bai Qiyun's mind.

Even though the other party hid the powerful ice elemental power very well, Bai Qiyun still discovered it when he first met.

Is that the captain-level strength of the Knights of the West Wind? It's really terrifying.

"In this case, there is no need for you to be downcast. You haven't touched any of these three things, haven't you?"

Although we are already walking on the edge of them.

The originally dry firewood gradually turned into broken branches after burning for a long time, and finally made a breaking sound and lay among the ashes.

"Then...brother, aren't you angry?"

As soon as the clever Keli heard this, she knew that Bai Qiyun did not mean to blame her, so she immediately answered.

"Angry? Why are you angry? I didn't plan to come back clean when I went into the water to catch fish. I would have to change my clothes whether you threw the bomb or not, but you moved the time a little earlier."

This is a lie.

If it weren't for Keli, and based on Bai Qiyun's ten years of undefeated fishing experience in Liyue Harbor, how could a small Xingluo Lake have made him like this.

But in order to take care of Xiao Keli's mood, Bai Qiyun didn't mind telling a little lie here.

Since you are called a big brother, you should take on the responsibility of being a big brother.

However, this matter is nothing to him, but he must let Xiao Keli know that this is wrong.

In other words, there needs to be punishment.

Otherwise, children will get into trouble easily if they are spoiled.

"But, as punishment for getting me all wet, I won't use bombs anymore when catching fish."

"Eh?!"

Without the bomb, Keli doesn't even know how to catch fish. Is it possible that she has to go into the water too?

The little guy glanced at the lake and found that the depth of the water was higher than his whole body, so he quickly looked back in fear.

"Big brother~"

"no."

Without her opening her mouth, Bai Qiyun knew what this little guy was going to say.

It's nothing more than using only one or two bombs or using less, but punishment is punishment, and it's not like buying vegetables at the wet market, so you can't bargain, otherwise the punishment will be meaningless.

"That...okay then."

After being rejected by the stern-faced Bai Qiyun, Keli walked to the shore with her calves and her head lowered, and placed her bomb on the ground together with her backpack.

But when she looked at the clear water of Xingluo Lake, her whole body was still a little numb.

This may be the innate fear of land creatures towards the underwater world.

"Snapped."

Another piece of firewood was burned, and Bai Qiyun stood up and walked towards Keli.

"Well, although you are not allowed to use bombs, going into the water is not the only way to catch fish."

After all, he is still Keli's temporary guardian. How could he let a child go into the water by himself, even in front of his eyes?

Bai Qiyun turned his attention to his backpack again.

As a qualified traveler, it is never too much to pack more things in your backpack.

He put his hand into his bag and searched for a long time. Finally he took out something like a stick, and then he took the top and pulled it hard.

Immediately, the ‘wooden stick’ was stretched.

"Wow, big brother, what is this."

Keli, who had never seen this thing before, immediately came forward.

Children always like strange and strange things that they have never seen before.

"This is called a 'fishing rod' and is used for fishing."

He specially went to the blacksmith shop to commission this before leaving home, just so that it could be used for fishing in some special places where water is not allowed.

"Oh, right."

Remembering that there was still something he had not done, Bai Qiyun ran back to his backpack and took out a small box.

Only he knew that it contained fishing bait.

Don't ask why he brought these things with him when he came out, just ask that he is a "qualified traveler".

"Look, put the bait on it and find a spot..."

The slender fishing rod was swung into the pond in his hand.

Bai Qiyun was naturally aiming at the original target, the bitter pufferfish.

"Each fish has different requirements for bait. Like the puffer fish in front of us, it likes a kind of bait called 'fly bait'."

While paying attention to the movements of the fish, Bai Qiyun explained in a low voice to the little Keli beside him.

He bought this purple bait after a lot of effort. He heard that the raw materials used are Liyue’s specialty horsetail and Inazuma’s Hizakura hydrangea. These two specialties are not common in the market.

The amount in circulation is also far less than that of minerals with a fixed output like Shipei.

I don't know if the fish was hungry, but not long after Bai Qiyun threw the fishing rod down, the light green puffer fish swam towards the fish with its tail swaying.

Seeing this scene, young Keli felt her heart in her throat.

Although it was just a fish, and although she had fried many fish, Keli couldn't help but become nervous when she saw Bai Qiyun fishing.
