Huo Jiaju was silent again. This time there was a longer silence.

"Your hook is moving." When he spoke again, it was the same sentence. Liang Jian came back to his senses and looked at his fishing line, which was trembling, and the ripples were spreading out one by one.

Liang Jian hurriedly went to collect the hook and put it away, but found that it was empty, and the bait on it was gone. At this time, Huo Jiaju said lightly beside him: "You are slow. ”

Liang Jian looked at the empty fishing hook swaying from side to side in the cold air, and smiled nonchalantly, the purpose of his coming here was not to fish, whether he could catch it or not, it didn't matter to him. However, it seems that Huo Jiaju doesn't think so.

"This closing rod also has to pay attention to timing." Huo Jiaju said.

Liang Jian took the bait and put it on the hook again, and then took over: "I think the time is right now." ”

Huo Jiaju stared at the lake in front of him, pursed his lips, and did not answer. Liang Jian smiled, shook his hand and threw the fishing line into the lake, watching the hook slowly sink, and the lake surface rippled in a circle, sparkling in the moonlight.

"You've been in Xiling Province for four years, right?" Liang Jian asked casually.

After seven or eight seconds of silence, I heard Huo Jiaju's slightly deep voice: "There is still a month, and it will be four years." ”

Liang Jian raised his eyes and cast his gaze on the green mountains on the other side of the lake, and in the moonlight, the huge mountain was like a squatting giant beast, silently watching them.

"Are you willing?" Liang Jian suddenly turned his head and asked him.

Under the moonlight, Liang Jian clearly saw Huo Jiaju's hand holding the fishing rod tremble, and where the fishing line entered the lake, there were several circles of ripples scattered.

After a while, Huo Jiaju suddenly opened his mouth and yawned, and stood up. Liang Jian frowned slightly, and heard him say, "I'm a little tired." That's it for today. ”

Liang Jian sat there and didn't move, looking at the fishing rod that Huo Jiaju had confiscated in place, wondering in his heart, what was this provincial elder who had been in the air for nearly four years hesitating in his heart?

In Liang Jian's opinion, he has no reason to hesitate.

The fire was lit not far away, Xiao Ye was sitting next to him and didn't know what he was messing with, Huo Jiaju walked over, called Xiao Yang who was sitting together and said a few words, and then Xiao Yang walked away, Huo Jiaju sat down next to Xiao Ye. The two didn't know what to talk about, and it didn't take long for Xiao Ye's laughter to sound, and in the silent night, in the cold mountain wind, it looked particularly crisp and cheerful.

Liang Jian sat by the lake where the fire did not shine, sitting quietly alone, looking at the lake surface that was wrinkled by the mountain wind from time to time, and the thoughts in his mind drifted farther and farther away.

He remembered a lot of things, a lot of things from a long, long time ago. The most of them is Lu Yuan. thought of what Lu Yuan's father said before divorcing Lu Yuan.

In the eyes of Lu Yuan and his father, he used to be a wreck. They think he is not enterprising, inflexible, selfish and stubborn. Liang Jian didn't know what she and her father were saying about themselves now. But for Liang Jian, the evaluation made many years ago still seems to be very suitable for himself today.

Liang Jian looked at the black lake and sighed. As soon as the sound landed, the fishing line, which had just been as stable as a mountain, suddenly moved. Liang Jian thought that he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes, and then looked closely, he was really moving. Liang Jian became nervous all of a sudden, and the chaotic thoughts in his head just now were instantly left behind, thinking about what Huo Jiaju said before to pay attention to the timing, Liang Jian pondered in his heart for a few seconds what is the best time, and finally decided to care about the timing of the fuck, and then take it first!

The other end of the fishing line seems to be caught in the hands of a middle-aged man, who is playing tug-of-war with Liang Jian. Liang Jian gritted his teeth, his face turned red, and he didn't take back the fishing line with great effort. Just as he was about to call someone, Shen Lianqing took the initiative to come over, and when he saw the situation, he hurriedly helped Liang Jian to collect the fishing line together.

When the harvest was almost complete, a large fish nearly a meter long suddenly jumped out of the water, and the splashing water reflected the glittering brilliance in the moonlight.

The big fish struggled in the air without giving up, and the water splashed Liang Jian and Shen Lianqing. Xiao Wu and the driver also heard the movement here, and they all came over, and the four of them took a lot of tossing to put the big fish in a fish box that was not suitable for it.

Xu is movement was a little bigger, Huo Jiaju, who had already entered the tent to rest, also walked out, walked to the fish box carried by Xiao Wu and the driver, took a look, and exclaimed: "Such a big one? ”

Liang Jian heard the voice, took a towel and wiped the water all over his body, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that there are few people who come to fish in this mountain, and this fish should have been in this lake for some years." ”

Huo Jiaju looked at it a few more times and said, "Such a big fish is still relatively rare. As he spoke, he suddenly changed his words and said, "It's not easy for it to live so big, let it go." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Liang Jian and asked, "You have no opinion, right?" ”

Liang Jian didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment.

After being stunned for a moment, Huo Jiaju asked again: "You won't be reluctant, right?" Liang Jian reacted at this time, and hurriedly replied: "How come?" You said let it go, then let it go. After speaking, he asked Xiao Wu and the driver to carry it back and put the fish in the lake.

Huo Jiaju said in the back: "There is a saying in Buddhism, which is called that all things have spirits. This fish can grow so big, maybe it already has spirituality, and we bring it back, just to satisfy a appetite, a bit of a pity, it is better to let it go, as a good deed. ”

"Do you believe in Buddhism?" Liang Jian asked in surprise. In fact, there are many officials who believe in Buddhism and Taoism. Moreover, the more officials are in charge, the more they believe in this kind of thing. However, Liang Jian had not heard of Huo Jiaju's belief in Buddhism before, so he was a little surprised.

Huo Jiaju smiled and said, "People in the family believe in this. ”

Liang Jian was about to answer, and Xiao Wu, who went to release the child, walked back with the driver. Huo Jiaju said to the driver who came over: "Since this one is released, let the others be released." ”

Liang Jian didn't say anything more. After watching Xiao Wu release all the fish, Huo Jiaju told Liang Jian to rest early, and got into the tent. Liang Jian looked at the time, it was already past three o'clock. It wasn't early, so I didn't delay any longer, so I quickly washed up in the cold wind and got into the tent. Xiao Wu and the driver take turns keeping vigil.

I don't know if it's because I'm tired, or because when I got to the mountains, my mood was quieter with the change of the environment, and I slept peacefully for a long time. When I woke up, it was already bright outside. Liang Jian got out of the tent and looked around, except for Huo Jiaju and Xiao Ye, the rest of the people had already gotten up and were making food.

Shen Lianqing saw Liang Jian come out and hurriedly walked over. When he approached, Liang Jian asked, "What about Governor Huo and Xiao Ye?" Haven't gotten up yet? Shen Lianqing replied: "They went to climb the mountain." Said it would be back before 12 o'clock. ”

Liang Jian frowned. This Huo Jiaju and Xiao Ye went to climb the mountain together, and neither the secretary nor the driver followed, the meaning of this seems to be obvious.

Liang Jian asked Shen Lianqing: "Where did they go from?" ”

Shen Lianqing turned around and pointed to the back. Not far from the edge of the woods, there was a faint path, and the half-dead shrubs on both sides of the road invaded most of the road with teeth and claws, making the already small path even narrower.

Liang Jian hesitated, he was a little worried about Xiao Ye. After all, this girl was brought out by him, and if something happens, he can't get over it. However, think about it again, this Huo Jiaju can achieve the position of governor, and he may not be such an anxious person. Moreover, he had never heard of any rumors about Huo Jiaju's women.

Liang Jian thought about it and asked Shen Lianqing: "How long have they been going?" ”

Shen Lianqing looked at the time and said, "It's about half an hour." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yang not far away came over and smiled at Liang Jian: "Secretary Liang, breakfast is ready, let's go have breakfast." ”

Liang Jian smiled and nodded, and while walking with him to the breakfast side, he asked casually: "I heard Xiao Shen say that the governor and our Xiao Ye went to climb the mountain together?" ”

Xiao Yang smiled: "That's right." Xiao Ye, this girl is really different from other girls, and there are really not many girls who like to climb mountains now. I can't help it, I have a severe allergy to maple trees, maybe there are in this mountain, I didn't dare to go. ”

Liang Jian glanced at Xiao Yang, and listened to what he meant, as if Xiao Ye had offered to climb the mountain. However, Liang Jian is not easy to confirm with Xiao Yang, if he says this too clearly, it will not be good.

Liang Jian paused and said, "Then wouldn't it be safe for the two of them to go?" There are no snakes or anything like that in winter, but there may be other beasts in this mountain. Or, I'll let Xiao Wu chase them? ”

Xiao Yang waved his hand as if he was not worried, and said, "It's okay!" Our governor is no ordinary person. ”

Xiao Yang's self-confidence, although Liang Jian couldn't believe it, but he said so, if he still insisted on letting Xiao Wu go to them, this meaning would be too obvious and not good. Liang Jian had no choice but to say no more.

However, I was always at ease.

This god seemed to be considerate of Liang Jian, and when he was about ten o'clock, a dark cloud floated from nowhere, and the sky, which was still clear just now, suddenly became gloomy. When Liang Jian saw it, he immediately found Xiao Yang and said, "Look at this weather, it may rain." Did Governor Huo bring rain gear? ”

Xiao Yang looked at the sky, frowned, and showed a trace of worry between his eyebrows, and said, "It should be that I didn't bring it." ”

"Then you should contact them quickly. Xiao Wu and I brought rain gear and went to them now. Liang Jian said immediately.

When Xiao Yang heard this, he hurriedly said, "I'd better go." ”

Liang Jian said: "You are allergic to maple trees, so let me go." Xiao Yang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Then it's hard for you." ”

"It's fine." After Liang Jian finished speaking, he hurriedly went with Xiao Wu to get rain gear, and then rushed to the path.

Luckily, there are no forks in the path. Huo Jiaju and Xiao Ye didn't seem to have gone far, Liang Jian and they didn't have long gone, and they happened to run into them walking back, and before they could speak, the rain crackled down. However, the foliage above the head was dense, and there was not much rain falling. The four of them hurried back to the camp, and Shen Lianqing and them were busy packing their things. Seeing the four of them return, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Jian had the opportunity to look at Huo Jiaju and Xiao Ye, and they kept a certain distance between the two and couldn't see anything. However, all the way back, Huo Jiaju took care of Xiao Yeduo. Liang Jian felt a little unsteady in his heart, and vaguely felt that there was something changing between the two, but he couldn't be sure.
