Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Angler
Hulan River.
Next to the fishing pavilion by the river.
At this time, there is an old man fishing by the river in this cold winter wax moon at this time, the old man is dressed in a thatched robe, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and sitting barefoot on the snowy riverside fishing. The rod in his hand is made of an unknown tree, and the rod has a fishing line on it, but it has no hook or bait. Next to it is a bamboo basket full of water, and the woven gap of the bamboo basket is large, but it can hold half of the water. What's even more strange is that he keeps reeling the rod, and every time he retracts the rod, he can catch fish in the river, and finally put it in the bamboo basket, but the bamboo basket is never full.
Just as the old man looked at the two boys and girls who didn't see him, and the two left the place shortly after the boy was kicked and injured, the old man said to the air next to him:
"I said, uncle, what kind of trick are you playing, why are you trapping Jiang Yang's bloodline inheritor and Dongnu's inheritor in the snow?"
I saw that as soon as the old man's voice fell, the air next to him seemed to be torn apart, and out of it came a beautiful young man who looked like a handsome man, as soon as the young man came out, he went straight to the old man's bamboo basket, and then took out a fat river fish from it with his hand, only to see him fly left and right with his fingers a few times, and the fish in his hand turned into a thin row of sashimi in an instant, and finally he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and muttered in his mouth:
"Good nephew, what are you fishing by the river? Let's go! Uncle Shi, I'll take you to the East Girl Country to find a good match!"
"Uncle Shi, what the hell are you going to do!" said the old fisherman next to him looked at this unobtrusive Uncle Shi (helplessly).
"Look at you! Learn from your master's set of false and serious styles! You are not as good as the drunkard and the gambling girl! Even the bird walker and nephew are not bad!, what are you fishing here on this cold day? Where is the gentle village on the Tianlan Continent happy and comfortable、、、、、、、、、!
Looking at the young uncle next to him, who was stumbling and stumbling out of tune, the old man said angrily:
"Uncle Shi! If you do this again, I will send a message to Master! When the time comes, don't blame my master and nephew for not talking about uncle and nephew affection!"
"Don't、、、 don't! Let's leave your more hypocritical master alone! As for why? After saying that, he pointed to the young boy and girl who ran back in the distance and continued: "Good master and nephew! These two little ghosts are back again! You can help you take a closer look at that kid! I will go back as soon as I go! My beauty、、、、、、!
Looking at the uncle who disappeared from the sky in front of him, the old man shook his head and sighed. Then he turned his head to look at the three people who were walking towards him at this moment, and began to catch fish again.
After a while, Lancôme, who walked to the old man's side one step ahead of Li Su, looked at the fish in the old man's fish basket, deliberately put on his posture and pretended to be an adult, and said:
"Old man, do you know who the owner of the eight counties in the southern part of the sky blue is, and do you know who is under the jurisdiction of this Hulan River?"
After hearing the girl's serious inquiry, the old angler resisted the urge to laugh, and then said in the tone of an ordinary old man:
"This sky-blue southern eight counties must belong to the sky-blue Mu family! As for this Hulan River, it's really hard to say! I don't know why you came to me to watch the little old man fishing?"
After listening to the old man who didn't give herself what she wanted to hear, the girl didn't know how to take it down for a while, so she could only bite the bullet and say:
"I am the Lancôme County Lord of the Holy Sect of the Eastern Female Country! It is possible—of course, I must be the future Sect Master! This Tianlan Southern Eight Counties must belong to the Eastern Female Country, and both sides of this river are the land of my Eastern Female Country, do you say that this Hulan River belongs to the Eastern Female Country?
"What the girl said is very reasonable! The little old man has been taught!" the old man put away the fishing rod, and then bowed to the girl next to him.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Lan Kouer continued his crooked reasoning and said:
"You old man still has a lot of vision! Since you know that this Hulan River belongs to my Dongnu country, you still dare to smuggle fish for our country's fish here! But for the sake of not deceiving the lord of this county, I will collect two fish from you as a tax!
Looking at the eyes of the girl in front of him who had never left his fish basket since the beginning, the old man smiled knowingly and said:
"Lord County! What you say is reasonable! You just see that the fish here in the little old man has entered your old eyes, you can take it casually!
After hearing the old man's words, I saw that the girl who was already hungry at this time quickly took out two fish from the old man's fish basket with her white and tender jade hands, picked out the largest one, put the small one back, and then took a delicate short knife from her arms, and quickly slashed over the fish. After a while, a fish went down, and Lancôme began to reach out and grab the fish from the bamboo basket again.
Looking at the hungry eating of the girl next to him, the old man turned his head and smiled and asked Li Su, who had already walked to his side at this time:
"Little brother is also here to collect taxes? Little old man remembers! There are no male officials in the East Female Country! Or are you the county attached to this little county lord? If not! Little old man can also give you two!"
I saw that after Li Su heard the old man's words, he was afraid that the old man would misunderstand his relationship with Shaolanchuang, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"No, I'm from the Azure Country! Grandpa, do you really want to give me two fish?"
"Little old man is a good talker! Besides, most of the fish in the world are for people to eat! The little brother can take it by himself!"
Li Su looked at the old man's affirmative eyes, so he reached out to the bamboo basket and picked out the two smallest river fish. I saw him walking towards the river with two fish, and when he walked to the river, Li Su put the fish to his mouth and whispered something, then released the fish, and then returned to the old man and stood and said to the old man:
"Old man, can I ask you something? Can you put the small fish back into the river next time you fish, and only the big ones will be left?"
The old man had been staring at the boy to complete these actions, and after hearing the boy's words, he replied:
"Little brother has a good heart, it will be a blessing for the common people in the future!"
"She's just a stupid boy! Li Su! If you don't eat it, you can give it to me! Why put them all away!" Lan Kou'er next to her said to Li Su as she ate sashimi in her mouth.
Li Su didn't pay attention to Lan Kou'er's words, only to see him bend down and salute the old man and say:
"I'll thank you for the fish! Grandpa! I can ask you where you went! We might get lost!"
"Yes、、、 yes, I just wanted to ask the visitor! It's not just about eating, it's forgetting!" muttered Lancôme, who kept eating sashimi in her mouth.
The old man looked at the boy and said with a smile:
"I don't know where you're going? I don't know if it's this Azure Eight Counties!
After hearing the old man's words, the county lord of Lancôme next to him hurriedly swallowed the sashimi in his mouth, and then hurriedly said:
"We want to go to Hai'an Chengmu's house! I don't know how to go, so you can tell us!"
After hearing the words of the girl next to him, the old man pretended to reminisce and said:
"There will be a lot of snow this winter! Most of the eight southern counties are covered with snow, and it's easy to get lost! I think you should still walk east along this riverside, so you will definitely be able to return to Hai'an City!"
"Why didn't I think of it! I came by boat when I came! Now it's okay! I can go back!"
As she spoke, the girl next to her pulled Li Su and ran east.
I saw that Li Su was pulled by him and kept moving forward, and then Li Su turned his head and said to the old man:
"Thank you, old man, remember what I said!"
Lan Kouer was in a hurry to go home at this time, but after hearing Li Su's words, she also turned to the old man and said:
"Old man, if you fish here in the future, if someone bullies you or collects your taxes, report me Lancôme's name! Just say that you are my cover!
Just after the two left, the old man who had been fishing for river fish here for five hundred years, but he had not caught a single fish in the following time. Just as he was about to say something, the lascivious uncle who had gone and recovered before walked out of the air just now.
looked at the uncle who was actually a thousand years older than him, but at this moment he was still a young face, and reappeared. The old man asked him suspiciously:
"Uncle Shi! That Li Su is obviously the inheritor of Jiang Yang! Why can't I feel a trace of his killing aura! Or that little girl is quite difficult to figure out!"
After hearing the words of the nephew next to him, the old man of Wujie Island next to him said: "Actually, I am also puzzled! But the fact that he is the body of all spirits can be determined! I think that you will definitely quit your fishing skills if you guard the domestic seal of this Dongnu country here!
After saying this, the old man of the color ring picked out another big river fish from the bamboo basket of the old fisherman, and then turned his head to the old fisher behind him and said again:
"Senior nephew, since the fishing has been ruined by that kid, why don't you go to the East Female Kingdom with me! Uncle Shi, I will find a good relationship for you again!" After saying that, the old man looked at the old man who was bowing his head and pondering, and he didn't take care of himself, so he went back from the hole just now.
