Thinking of this, Qi Qingyao instructed the three children.
"Mommy will carry the two buckets home first. You stay here and guard this big fish! Mommy will fetch you later, okay?"
"Okay, we will help Mommy guard this big fish."
"Very good children."
Qi Qingyao carried a bucket and headed home first. The little children silently and obediently guarded the "big fish" at his side. Erniu's big, round eyes blinked. With her small, fleshy hands, she held her round and meaty cheeks as she watched the man who seemed to be dead lay on the ground.
"Big brother, although Mommy said we should save him, but…"
"But what?" Dabao asked.
"But we already don't have enough to eat, now there's one more to feed…" Erniu retorted, the corners of her mouth flattened.
Dabao thought for a moment, then said, "We have more than ten fishes now. There's enough to eat."
Xiaobao also patted Erniu's head and said, "Mommy just said that he is a big fish."
