Chapter 168 - Live For The Moment (2)
"We caught a bit too many."
In the end, Feng Ao Si managed to catch four fishes with brute force while Nan Luo only caught three fishes. Feng Ao Kuai used the long fence once more and got another three, making it a total of seven fishes. Because of the size of the fishes, it would be a bit hard for them to finish it all.
"We can use salt to dry it for tomorrow, right?" Nan Luo tried to remember the survival lesson his grandfather taught him before.
"Yes, we'll eat half for today." Old Master Nan was amused. It seemed that there wouldn't be any problem for the brats if they had to survive in wilderness as long as they could find some river to hunt fishes.
"Alright! I'll roast it!"
"Hey, I want to be the one to do it!"
Hou Liang was the one who watched from a distance. One was to make sure that there wouldn't be anyone to disturb the old master and the young masters from having fun. The second was to protect them.
A servant came and gave some information to Hou Liang. He had no other choice but to call Old Master Nan and report.
"I'll be going for a moment. Brats, don't you dare to mess around."
"Yes, Grandpa!"
"Don't worry, Grandfather. We're not a kid."
"Uh huh." Old Master Nan glared at his grandchildren before he rushed back. It seemed that the officials in Heng Xing City was quite annoying. Some of them were not doing their work properly and now the villagers were making use of the fact that there were some important guests to make a mess.
He better warned them to not do anything unbeneficial to them.
"Grandpa is quite busy," Nan Luo commented.
Feng Ao Kuai passed a look. "He's the famous General Nan. There will be a lot of people who wish to make use of his position so that they could earn something."
"Being famous is not easy."
"If you wish to become a great general. You'll undoubtedly become famous."
Nan Luo's expression turned awkward. While it was true that he wanted to be a great general like his grandfather, he didn't really want to be famous. It was no wonder that his grandfather didn't like to stay in the Capital City.
It might be because of how famous he was.
"Hua'er do you want to try fishing too?" Nan Luo then recalled that Nan Hua didn't enter the water.
Nan Hua shook her head. She had already had her fair share of experience in her past life. There was no need for her to do it again.
"Really? It's quite fun, though."
Nan Hua: "…"
Feng Ao Si snorted. "While it's true that it's fun, but it takes quite some time. I would rather practice rather than fishing."
"If you're in a situation where you have to eat and fishing is the only method for you to find food, you'll no longer treat it as a game," Feng Ao Kuai remarked calmly. He tore another piece of the fish meat and chewed calmly.
This time, Feng Ao Si couldn't retort back anymore.
Nan Luo tilted his head. Indeed. They found it fun because they had never fished before. But if he had to fish all the time just to eat… even the most patience person would think that it was very tiring.
"Well, that's a situation for the future. We only live once, so just enjoy this moment." Nan Luo grinned. "Hua'er, do you want more? You can eat my share!"
"Hua'er can take my share first." Feng Ao Kuai glared at Nan Luo. Even though the latter was Nan Hua's twin brother, he would never ever allow anyone to take his position as Nan Hua's right hand.
Nan Luo rolled his eyes. "I'm her twin brother!"
"I'm her right hand."
"She never said that to you! You're the one who assume yourself to be one!"
"So what?"
Feng Ao Si watched from the side, feeling a bit astonished to see his younger brother acting so childish with Nan Luo. Even though Feng Ao Kuai was 11 years old, almost everyone had already known that this was a brat who didn't act like one.
In fact, many people often worry for Feng Ao Kuai because he always act more mature than his age.
But now, Feng Ao Kuai was fighting with Nan Luo childishly.
Feng Ao Si rubbed his nose, feeling a bit apprehensive. He thought that his younger brother might have a problem to express himself, but it seemed that his younger brother would only act childish at times. At the very least, he was glad that Feng Ao Kuai could act his age too.
He should tell this to his mother later.
Their mother had been very worried about Feng Ao Kuai for so long. It was because Feng Ao Kuai didn't act childish around her in the slightest bit.
Nan Hua also watched the two of them go on and on. The word that Nan Luo said was something that she had heard before. When she was placed in that institute, the professor once told her to live for the moment and just enjoy everything around her.
But back then, she couldn't understand.
As an assassin, she was the tool that would be used by the organization as they pleased. She would only do things that was beneficial for her.
Training, eating, resting, all were controlled strictly.
But coming to this world, there was no longer any restrain whatsoever. While she still maintained the same discipline for her training, there were times when she had the feeling of wanting to relax around her siblings.
It was a strange feeling.
'Can I relax?'
As the question popped out in Nan Hua's mind, an image appeared inside her mind. Nan Hua's body stiffened almost immediately and her expression resumed back to normal as the image disappeared.
She could treat Old Master Nan, her aunt, and these three as her family but she was not allowed to relax.
