Zhuo Ran walked for a long time, feeling a little tired, then he saw a small boat slowly rowing along the river, on the small boat sat a beautiful boat lady, holding a fishing net in her hand and casting a net to fish.

Zhuo Ran looked very kindly, reminded him of the past, standing on the side of the road and staring at it in a daze, when the boat rowed in front of him. The boat lady also found him, picked up the fishing net in her hand, combed the hair that was somewhat disturbed by the river breeze, and said in a loud voice: "The offspring on the shore, what do you want to do when you look at me so stupidly?"

Zhuo Ran felt a little embarrassed, and quickly smiled and said, "I was just passing by, and I wanted to find water to drink by the river." ”

The boat lady said: "The water in the river is not as clean as you think, I have water on the boat, can you drink it?"

Zhuo Ran nodded, hurriedly went down the mountain road to the river, and said, "That's very good, thank you eldest sister." ”

The boatlady giggled again, showed a mouthful of neat teeth, then turned and went into the cabin, took out a small water hyacinth, and said, "Catch!" and threw the gourd over.

Zhuo Ran caught the gourd lightly, opened the stopper, and drank several big sips without saying a word, and then said, "Thank you for this eldest sister." ”

The boat lady snorted and said, "Thank you for what I'm doing? The water is poisonous, you have been poisoned, just lie on the ground and wait for death." ”

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "The eldest sister has no grievances with me, so why should you harm me? ”

"Who is joking with you? I am interested in making money, can't I kill people and plunder goods? When you are poisoned and die, I will rob you of your money again, you should have a lot of money on you." ”

Zhuo Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Eldest sister, you are such a kind and beautiful person, how can you learn from others to rob money?

The woman sighed and said, "Identity, how much is it worth? I want money, well, you have two choices now, first, take the money out to me, and second, I will sit here and wait for you to die, and then take the money from your corpse." ”

"Is there any difference between the two?"

"There is no difference. ”

"Then I'm still too lazy to do it, just wait for the eldest sister to bother you and come and get it yourself. ”

The boat lady was stunned for a moment, then giggled, laughed wildly, and said, "You are really interesting, well, for your sake, get on the boat, I'll take you away." With that, the boat lady took a pedal from the bottom of the boat and threw it down to carry it to the shore.

Zhuo Ran walked up to the bow of the boat along the pedals and arched his hand: "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

"What's your name?"

"In the lower Zhuoran, drifting all over the world, there is no fixed place. ”

The boat lady giggled again and said, "I didn't even ask you where you came from, why did you say it yourself?"

"Anyway, I don't say that the eldest sister will ask too, so as not to make the eldest sister tired. ”

"You're getting more and more interesting, I have to take you away, I hope your daughter-in-law won't come to me. ”

"I still hope that my eldest sister can tell me a daughter-in-law. ”

"Okay, then it depends on whether you are sincere or not? If you can afford a dowry, I can find you any kind of beauty. ”

As she spoke, the boat lady put the deck of the boat in place, and with a bamboo pole, the boat floated downstream along the river.

Zhuo Ran said: "Why did the eldest sister make that kind of joke with me just now?"

"How do you think it's a joke and not true?"

"I just saw the eldest sister's face that seemed to be very proud, but you didn't have it in your eyes, which means that you just played a trick on me, and you didn't really want to rob. ”

The boat lady smiled: "I can't see that your observation is still very strong, are you really drifting around the sea and living in a fixed place?"

"Yes, I'm actually looking for someone, she's my daughter-in-law, fiancée to be exact, I don't know where she went, I looked for her to take her away, but I don't know where to look. ”

"You have a fiancée and asked me to introduce you to a daughter-in-law, you men, hehe, there are really few good things. ”

"Hearing this, it's a pole that overturns a boatload of people, isn't it possible that the husband of the eldest sister is not a good thing?"

"That's right, I'm talking about him, the worst thing in the world is the first. ”

Zhuo Ran stopped talking, she could put her husband first, such a woman couldn't be provoked.

The boat slowly floated forward, and the boat lady saw that Zhuo Ran suddenly stopped talking, a little strange, turned her head sideways and looked at him and said, "What's wrong?

"How so? The eldest sister is telling the truth. ”

Seeing that Zhuo Ran didn't raise the bar with her, the boat lady felt a little embarrassed, smiled and changed the topic, and said, "Don't you ask us where we're going?

Zhuo Ran said: "It's okay, I don't have a place to go anyway, besides, I've been to the Sword Mountain, Fire Sea, and Hell on Earth, what's so scary?"

What Zhuo Ran said is, of course, that he entered the Flood Desolate Continent, and even passed through the time tunnel, rode the Dapeng bird, spread his wings and soared in the sky, and after a terrible thunderstorm, it can be said that there is nothing he has not experienced, and of course he doesn't care.

The boat lady pursed her lips and said: "You are not young, your tone is quite big, the place I took you to is definitely a hundred times more terrible than the most terrible place you go to, don't regret it then, if you are afraid, jump off the river and swim ashore now, otherwise you will really go forward with me into the white fog and regret it will be too late." ”

Zhuo Ran looked forward along her hand, and saw that there was indeed a thick white mist in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, because the white mist looked very familiar, wasn't that the kind of poisonous white mist that poisoned the bandits on the top of the mountain? He asked in a deep voice: "That white mist is poisonous." ”

The boat lady turned her head to look at him: "I can't see that you have a little knowledge, that's right, there is a miasma of smoke, it is poisonous, and it is very terrible, as long as you inhale it and die, the gods can't save it, fortunately, that kind of fog is just floating in a certain area, and it won't float around, unless there is a strong wind blowing it to other places, but it's also difficult to see, I've been rowing on this river for so many years, and I've seen once or twice the white mist drifting over that mountain to another mountain, and all the birds everywhere I went. When the poison was gone, the local people went up to the mountains to pick up the birds and beasts and went home, and they ate them but they did not die, and the taste was very delicious. ”

Zhuo Ran nodded, thinking, if this is the case, it means that the poison should be able to suffocate the animal, and the suffocated animal corpse itself is certainly not poisonous, and of course there is no harm to the body itself.

Zhuo Ran also understood from this that the white fog of the thief's cottage should be the smoke miasma mentioned by the boat lady. They were poisoned by the miasma of smoke wafting over the mountains.

Zhuo Ran asked her curiously, "Has the eldest sister been on this boat for many years?"

"Yes, I have been running on this river since I was eleven or twelve years old, and the fish in this river are delicious, there are no scales, the meat is very tender, and there are no small spines, if you like it, I will catch one for you later, and you will know the deliciousness when the time comes." ”

"Thank you, big sister, I'm really hungry. ”

The boatlady said, "How strange it is that you get on my ship and don't ask me where I'm going, but follow me as if you knew I was going to send you where you were going." ”

Zhuo Ran said: "No, I'm just drifting around the world, and I don't have a fixed goal, so my eldest sister asked me to get on the boat and I followed, to see if there is anything I can serve." ”

"If you really want to help me, okay, can you help me fish? There's a rod in the stern, you go and sit in the bow, the fish in this river are stupid, you can catch it without bait." ”

Zhuo Ran said: "Okay, I don't fish much, and it's a quick thing to learn how to fish from others." ”

He took a fishing rod from the cabin, and threw it directly into the river without hanging the bait, sat on the side of the boat, took off his shoes and let his feet step on the cool river water, which was very comfortable, and the boat lady held the fishing net on the other side and kept casting it to fish, almost every net could pull one or two fish, big or small, and there was already a small half bucket of fish in the bucket next to her.

Zhuo Ran was looking at it interestingly, and suddenly the fishing rod in his hand sank, and he quickly pulled the fishing rod with his hand, and the fishing rod was almost broken.

The boat lady giggled and said, "At first glance, you don't look like fishing, if you want to pull it like this, you will tear it off, take it easy, pull it forward first, and then put it down, and slowly lead it to the side of the boat, there is a fish pocket next to it, stretch it down and fish it up." ”

According to the professor of the boat lady, Zhuo Ran pulled the fish to the side of the boat, reached out and grabbed the fish pocket from the cabin, looked at the water nervously, and slowly pulled the fishing rod back, and sure enough, a five-finger-wide carp surfaced.

The boat lady happily grabbed it in her hand, carefully removed the hook on it, and said: "What a fat fish, you have never caught a fish, but you can drop such a fat fish at once, I really haven't seen it much, you are really amazing." ”

Zhuo Ran smiled, he was also very excited when he caught a fish for the first time, the fish was still jumping vigorously in his hand, Zhuo Ran couldn't catch it, although he had martial arts, but catching fish was skillful, and the fish was too slippery.

The boat lady hurriedly reached over to help, grabbed the fish and threw it into the bucket, and said, "Yes, yes, keep fishing, maybe you can catch a bigger one." ”

Zhuo Ran threw the hook down and continued to fish, after a while, his fishing rod sank down sharply, as if another fish was hooked, and kept shaking, he quickly retreated, this time the rod bent even more, but he couldn't feel any movement of the fish caught by the rod. He was in a hurry and quickly let go, for fear of tearing the rod off.

The boat lady happily came over to help and said, "God, you are really capable, after a while, you have caught a big fish, now we have a big harvest, I will help you." ”

He slowly pulled the fish back to the boat, trying to catch it with a fish basket, but Zhuo Ran felt that this time was not the same as the last time, because he could not feel the fish struggling and jumping underwater, and the weight was far greater than the previous fish had made his hands feel like before.
