Chapter 98: Living Spring Palace
It is said that Zeng Yifan, Zhao Dapeng, and Zhang Mengmeng, who knew almost nothing, decided to go to the waters of the Rose Garden villa area first and then explore the reality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Xixi Wetland is not a lively place, if there is really something strange in the water, there will always be other people who see it. The worst is that it is better to ask the staff there and understand the situation than to kill it without a head or a brain.
Originally, Zeng Yifan suggested that Zhao Dapeng rest at home, after all, he was hit by the soul separation spell, and it seems that the cold is real. But Zhao Dapeng felt that it was a matter of life and death, and now that he was in good shape, he insisted on going together.
A wooden boat was rented, and three men and a boatman were boated on the water.
"Xixi Wetland wasn't so deserted before, was it? Zeng Yifan asked the boatman.
"It's never been very lively, but this year has been very deserted, and I can't take a business for three days. There used to be two or three ships here, but now I'm the only one left. The boatman said unhurriedly, rocking his oars.
"Business is so bad, how do you make ends meet?" Zhang Mengmeng couldn't help but worry. It only costs 50 yuan to rent a boat to go around the entire Xixi wetland, if you can't take a business in three days, wouldn't you drink the northwest wind every day?
"My family lives on the side, and I also planted some herbs on the mountain, and caught some fish in the lake, so my wife and I have enough to eat." The boatman said this, his face was quiet and indifferent.
Zhang Mengmeng couldn't imagine that in this city, there are still such people who enjoy this kind of life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, boating on the lake, farming and fishing, and staying away from the hustle and bustle. Think of those bosses who are worth billions of dollars, who are not highly nervous, just for the growing wealth. Playing hard to make money, and using the money to go to expensive farmhouses.
"Can you fish in this water? Isn't it written that fishing is prohibited? Zhao Dapeng pointed to a sign erected on the water not far away.
"If you're on this water, you can't catch fish even if you want to." The boatman said, a smug smile on his lips.
"What's the matter, uncle, do you still have a trick at fishing? Take us with you. Zhao Dapeng looked at the clean water, pure natural and pollution-free, and heard that there were fish in it, and his soul had already flown to the braised carp, and he completely forgot that he only had seven days to live.
Zeng Yifan was quite speechless about this. Zhao Dapeng's nerves are deeply felt, but they are so big that they can't even compare to his own life, and he can be regarded as a model in the foodie industry.
However, the three of them came over today, and they didn't have any purpose, they just wanted to go around and see what was strange. It sounds like this rowing man has lived in the Xixi Wetland for some years, and maybe he can really find out some special information.
"There's no trick, those fish, they like to drill into the cave next to our house, I just need to lay a net at the entrance of the hole, and at the end of the day, it's okay to get dozens of catties."
"So powerful? And you still make money rowing? Zhao Dapeng opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"Haha, so I don't expect this to make money either. The fish swim in by themselves, and I don't need to guard them, you young people must have a boat if you want to swim in the lake. The boatman smiled proudly, quite the spirit of Lei Feng who does good deeds without leaving a name.
"Uncle, can you take us to the cave you said?" Zeng Yifan asked.
"Okay, it's time for me to close the net." The boatman agreed without saying a word. In his opinion, this is not a secret, the fish swim in on their own initiative, and it is not considered to be fishing privately. Moreover, in this Xixi wetland, the government has not released any fish fry, and all the fish are wild and not illegal.
"By the way, uncle, there are a lot of egrets here, maybe there are egrets here in Lingcheng." Zeng Yifan thought about how to cut the topic to the alien beasts in the water they cared about, and he couldn't ask openly, so he could only beat around the bush.
"It used to be more, but now it's less. After building a villa, the environment is getting worse and worse, and there are few egrets. The boatman sighed.
"I think the design of this rose garden villa is quite reasonable, it is built according to the original form of the wetland, and there is not much damage." Zeng Yifan said truthfully. At least from an architect's point of view, it's been well done.
"Reasonable fart!" The boatman suddenly burst into a foul mouth, and then realized that it was not very good, and stopped his mouth again.
"It's okay for you to say it directly, uncle, we just ask casually, it's quite curious." Zhang Mengmeng played a round, obviously, knowing more secrets will only be beneficial to their future actions. When it comes to the elderly, boys don't have as much affinity as girls.
"When this villa was developed, several people died." The boatman said.
"Anyone has died here? I haven't heard of it, don't they all say that feng shui is very good! Zhao Dapeng's attention immediately shifted from the fish to the dead man.
"Of course, this kind of dead person thing has to be hidden, otherwise how can the house be sold?" The boatman gave Zhao Dapeng a blank look. It's not that he talks about the dead, but the so-called feng shui. Xixi Wetland was indeed a place for good feng shui, but since the construction of this rose garden, feng shui has become worse and worse. It's really an evil developer, who only knows how to make money.
"Uncle, then tell us how the person died? Did it fall off when building a house? Zhang Mengmeng wanted to get away with it, and if he thought about it, he knew that it couldn't be that someone fell down and died when he was building a house. First, it is a villa, which is not easy to kill, and second, if someone dies during the construction, it is impossible to hide it. Therefore, the most likely is in the early stage of development, if someone dies at that time, find any reason, anyway, it has nothing to do with the developer, and it has nothing to do with the house.
"There is a water dragon king in this water, those workers did not worship the dragon king and began to fill the lake and dig the mountain, as soon as the dragon king was angry, he asked the shrimp soldiers and crabs to clean them up." The boatman said, looking righteous and Lingran.
The three of them were sweating when they heard this, this is telling a legend. Whether there were any dead people, and how they died, is still unknown.
As he spoke, the boat had entered a narrow waterway, and the trees on the shore were getting denser and denser, many reaching directly to the water, making the already narrow waterway even more difficult.
Fortunately, the boatman is more skilled, with one hand at the helm and the other paddling, and the boat moves through flexibly.
"It looks like a good harvest today." The boatman saw from a distance where he had pulled his net in front of him, and the net shook so much that it was evident that there were a lot of fish.
"Ahh Zhang Mengmeng suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Zeng Yifan asked.
"Just ...... There was a mouse ...... just now" Zhang Mengmeng was a little embarrassed, snakes, insects, rats and ants or something, girls are generally afraid, and the one that suddenly ran over just now was almost the size of a kitten, which was really terrifying.
"Haha, it must be that this fish is so delicious that even the mice are attracted to it." Zhao Dapeng looked at the shaking fishing net, and his saliva was already flowing at the same time, and he really wanted to grill a few fish on the spot to eat.
"By the way, there are a lot of rats here, and they're all very large." The boatman looked back and reminded.
"Roar, protect the tail if you have a tail, protect your feet if you don't have a tail, don't let the rats gnaw it!" Zhao Dapeng said, approached the boatman, ready to help him collect the net together, and at the same time discussed buying a few on the spot and roasting them on the spot.
