"Qing is here."
Qi Hang picked up a dragon fruit and walked to the front yard. He handed it over casually. "Come and have a taste. It's not bad."
Fang Qing's eyes immediately lit up. She quickly peeled it and took a bite. Immediately, she revealed a satisfied expression. In just a few bites, she ate the entire dragon fruit.
She licked her lips, looking as if she was still not satisfied. Curiously, she asked, "Where did you get this fruit?"
"I planted it." Qi Hang thought for a moment and changed his words. "I transplanted it. This courtyard has just been cleaned up, so there are quite a lot of empty spaces."
Fang Qing nodded and did not continue asking. Instead, she said, "I heard from brother Yizheng that you have a cormorant here. Grandfather specially asked me to tell you about the special method to tame a cormorant in our Gu Fan Village."
"There's also a special method to tame a cormorant?"
Qi Hang was puzzled. "Why haven't I heard about it?"
"I already said it's special. How could an ordinary person know about it?" Fang Qing raised her chin and said proudly, "How about it? Do you want to learn it?"
"Of course."
"You want to learn it?"
Fang Qing's bright eyes rolled around as she bit her lower lip. "Then... I have to consider it."
Qi Hang looked at her speechlessly. This little girl was actually being arrogant!
"In exchange, you can come to my place to eat fruits anytime. How about it?"
"Deal!"
On the island, there were not many types of fruits. If one wanted to eat many different types of fruits, they had to go to Egret city to buy expensive products that were transported from other places.
Fang Qing's family was not wealthy, and she liked to eat these things. Qi Hang also understood her idea very well.
After that, Qi Hang returned to the house and brought out the cormorant.
Fang Qing whistled as if she was demonstrating, trying to control the cormorant. However, this little fellow only understood a little and did not follow her instructions.
She tried a few more times, but all of them ended in failure.
"Stop, stop, stop. Qing, take it easy first. Stop whistling." Qi Hang had a constipated expression on his face. This series of whistling made him feel like peeing. He hurriedly said, "I'll go and Pee First. You can slowly train it."
With that, he handed the cormorant to her and hurried back to the house.
Fang Qing's pretty face blushed. She immediately understood why Qi Hang had asked her to stop.
"Hmph! King of pee!"
She spat and immediately turned her attention back to the cormorant.
Seeing how cute the little fellow's eyes were blinking, she could not help but reach out to touch its body.
As expected, it was dodged.
Fang Qing did not believe it and started whistling again.
However, the cormorant just ignored her like it did not care, but it was not completely unresponsive.
"Strange, what's going on?"
Fang Qing could not help but wonder if the special method that her grandfather had mentioned was useful.
At this moment, Qi Hang walked out after he was done.
"It won't listen to anyone without my consent."
"Really?" Fang Qing's eyes were full of doubt.
Qi Hang stretched out his palm, and the cormorant immediately flew up. Then, it made a few movements in front of its eyes and then pointed at Fang Qing.
"Go."
This time, the cormorant took the initiative to fly onto Fang Qing's shoulder, giving her a fright. It was afraid that the cormorant would scratch her.
However, the cormorant's movements were very gentle. She could not even feel the soles of its feet on her shoulders exerting force due to the grip, so she could not help but feel relieved.
Then, she tried to whistle again.
This time, the cormorant immediately reacted and made some simple movements according to what she had said.
"It's effective, I say!"
Fang Qing was happy now. Her hard work had finally paid off.
However, Qi Hang spread out his hands. "It's not effective yet. You have to teach me how to whistle."
Fang Qing pursed her lips and kicked the stone in front of her with one of her small feet. Instead of answering, she asked, "do you think... that us fishermen blowing the whistle is very barbaric and rude?"
"No." Qi Hang laughed lightly. "I'm also a fisherman now, not to mention that this is wisdom passed down from generation to generation. It's worth me learning and passing it down."
"You city people are so glib-tongued." Fang Qing snorted twice and then pretended to be angry. "At least you answered well. Open your mouth."
Qi Hang did not understand, but he still opened his mouth.
Fang Qing suddenly put her finger into his mouth. Qi Hang subconsciously licked it, and a light saltiness of seawater instantly melted in his mouth.
Fang Qing's pretty face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand. "What are you doing!"
Qi Hang only then noticed that there was a whistling object in his mouth. It seemed that Fang Qing had just put it in.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice, I didn't notice..." He hurriedly apologized.
Fang Qing snorted lightly and put her hand behind her back. Then, she explained, "this is the sea breeze whistle. With this, you can control the cormorant. It was taught to the villagers by your parents."
"Mom and dad left it behind?"
Qi Hang could not help but be startled. Then, he tried it out. It was indeed very useful.
Through this, he could blow out different tones and make the cormorants make the corresponding movements.
Qi Hang familiarized himself with it and roughly grasped it.
"Alright, my mission is completed. It's time to go back. You can slowly practice by yourself." Fang Qing immediately planned to go home.
"Wait a moment."
Qi Hang called out to her. Then, he turned around and returned to the house. He brought out the other three-bladed emperor fish that he had caught yesterday.
"Take it back and eat it with Grandpa. He should know how to cook it. Otherwise, come and ask me."
Fang Qing's attention was immediately attracted by the beautiful patterns on the spot-tail morwong. She stared at it in a daze, unable to recognize what kind of fish it was.
Qi Hang explained with a smile, "this is the spot-tail morwong commonly known as the three-bladed emperor fish. You should have heard of this name."
Three-blade emperor fish?
Fang Qing searched in her mind for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She blurted out, "is it the one with the best taste, the one with the rule that you can't order if you want to eat it?"
"I'm not sure if the taste is the best, but I definitely won't let you down."
"Where did you get it? It Won't be cheap if you sell it."
"Here, this little fellow got it." Qi hang smiled and said, "there are only two in total. There's no need to sell it."
Fang Qing was surprised. "This is good stuff. If you don't keep it for yourself, are you going to give it to me like this?"
"I'm not afraid that I won't have a chance in the future on the island." Qi Hang rubbed her little head. "If you want to eat fruits in the future, you can come to my house to get it."
Fang Qing was touched. She bit her lips and thought for a long time. "Recently, the ebb tide is the season for green crabs. If you need crab cages, come to my house to get them."
Qi Hang nodded with a smile.
"Okay."
