The figure in the lake gradually approached the shore, but there was not a trace of movement.

The woman in red was still concentrating on grilling the fish, and she didn't seem to notice it.

But the wicker strung with grass carp on it faintly flashed a glimmer of light.

Just as the figure in the lake gradually became clear and prepared to land, the door of a dilapidated wooden door not far from the wild stove was pushed open.

An old man came out of the house, carrying a flask. The old man rubbed his wistful eyes, and then walked towards the woman in red.

"Which girl's daughter are you, don't you know if you can't come here?"

When the old man opened his mouth, a smell of wine came out.

The figure in the lake hesitated, and then disappeared.

The woman in red looked at the old man seriously, and then replied, "If you have nothing to do, come to the lake for a walk." ”

Her voice was very crisp, and the old man was very comfortable to listen to.

"It's better to hurry up, haven't you seen the announcement issued by the Assassin's Mansion? There are demons in this lake, eating people, and ......" The old man thought for a while, and was embarrassed to say the rest of the words.

First, I was afraid of scaring the woman in red, and secondly, I felt that those common words had tarnished this beautiful and refined girl.

"I see. As she spoke, the woman in red took out a white jade bottle from her arms, pulled out the lid, and then took a small brush, dipped some yellow sauce from the white jade bottle, and evenly spread it on the grass carp that had been roasted.

For a moment, the fragrance overflowed.

The old man smelled the smell of fish that he had never smelled before, and his stomach could not help but growl.

"Let's eat together, I can't eat such a big fish. ”

The woman in red smiled.

Ten years ago, when the flood flooded the state city, he took his wife and son to climb to the head of the city to take refuge in the city, so he survived. But those relatives and friends were drowned a lot. Later, after the Ran Yan Dynasty took over the northern part of Yue, they moved the old man's family to the shore of this Yue Lake. The old man began to learn to fish. Within ten years, the old man's mother-in-law died, and his son married his wife and went to Linhu City to open a shop. Originally, this time the demons were in turmoil, and the old man's son was going to take the old man to take refuge in the city. But the old man didn't go, and he said, "I'm not a young girl, what did the demon do to me?" Yes, the demon harmed all young girls, and never killed a man. The old man's son was helpless when he heard this, so he had to follow his father. And the old man also fell quietly, drinking and sleeping at home all day. After all, the Assassin's Mansion said that they would pay for the living expenses of the past few days. Today, as soon as the old man woke up, he found a woman in red grilling fish by the lake, it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl, and he was worried that the other party would be killed by a demon, so he hurriedly reminded him. It's just that unexpectedly, the woman in red didn't seem to be afraid, but continued to grill the fish. Moreover, after this fish is smeared with sauce, it is really fragrant. Therefore, after the woman in red sent out an invitation, the old man sat down unceremoniously.

"Here you go. ”

The woman in red took the grilled fish from the wild stove and placed it on the tiles beside her, then tore the fish apart and divided the old man in half.

The old man quickly made two pairs of chopsticks out of bamboo and handed them a pair to the woman in red.

"Girl, she's from the city, right?" he took the grilled fish and sniffed it, but it didn't smell fishy, it was all that special fragrance. He saw that the woman in red had an extraordinary temperament, and it was estimated that she was the young lady of a powerful family in the city.

"Yes. The woman in red picked up a small piece of fish head and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it very gracefully.

The old man gulped and drank from time to time.

"How's it taste?"

At this time, the woman in red asked.

"Delicious. "The old man swears that he has never eaten such a good grilled fish. He had heard that the distant Zhongzhou Dynasty had a secret dipping sauce called 'Feiliu Butter'. It is said that if this dipping sauce is applied when grilling fish, the fish taste is comparable to that of dragon liver and phoenix gall. Of course, the old man with dragon liver and phoenix gall has never eaten it, what is he, how dare he go to slaughter the dragon and the phoenix. Moreover, the price of 'Feiliu Butter' is expensive, and it is a special supply of the Zhongzhou Dynasty, even if you pay a thousand dollars, it is difficult to buy. Therefore, the old man felt that he would never taste the grilled fish in his life.

How did he know that he had already eaten.

"It tasted good. The old man nodded repeatedly.

"I mean wine. ”

After speaking, the woman in red picked up a broken bowl on the ground and handed it to the old man: "Come, pour some with me." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment.

What is he?

How can such a strong liquor be given to a powerful lady in the city?

"I can't help it. The woman in red urged.

"Girl, this wine doesn't taste good. The old man suddenly remembered that he had hidden a bottle of good wine in the house, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and get it for you to drink." "But I don't think it's good to persuade other people's daughters to drink, don't go back to the door of other people's houses. When the time comes, it's okay to be beaten by yourself, but don't bother your son in the city. So, he said, "Why don't you take it home and drink it?"

"Just drink this. Seeing that the old man was a little verbose, the woman in red took the wine jug directly from the other party's hand, and then began to pour wine.

Indeed, the wine was very strong and somewhat cloudy.

But the woman in red still drank it all.

For a moment, her face became more crimson.

The old man looked at this scene, a little distracted, and then lowered his head to eat the fish, and at the same time scolded fiercely in his heart: "Zhang Laosan, you fucking count a ball, the daughter of the powerful family, can you watch it?"

"I'm sorry, I'm done. ”

The woman in red drank three bowls of wine in a row while Zhang Laosan was eating fish, and emptied the wine jug.

"It's okay, it's not worth much. Zhang Laosan also finished the grilled fish at this time, but the fish in the back didn't taste good. He put down the tiles and said, "Girl, let's go back to the city earlier." "In Linhu City, there are disciples of the Luoxia Sect guarding it, and no matter how bold the demons are, they don't dare to enter the city to make trouble.

"Do you have a boat?"

The woman in red asked.

Due to the rebellion of the demons crossing the lake, the Linhu City Assassin Mansion confiscated all the boats of the fishermen in the area under its jurisdiction, which was naturally to prevent anyone from sneaking into the water.

"Yes. ”

Zhang Laosan was careless, and told the truth.

Indeed, his fishing boat was taken away by the Assassin Mansion. But he still had an old ship under his bed.

Moreover, the ship can still be used.

"Sell it to me. After the woman in red finished speaking, Zhang Laosan was startled, he thought that this girl had drunk too much wine and wanted to go boating on the lake, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it with a thousand or ten thousand, if I know about it, I have to kill me." ”

"I said, sell me the boat. ”

The woman in red looked at Zhang Laosan as she spoke.

The next moment, Zhang Laosan, who was originally very nervous, was quiet.

He nodded a little sneeringly: "Okay." ”

The woman in red smiled with satisfaction: "Very good." ”

......

The old boat under Zhang Laosan's bed was washed clean by him, without a fishy smell, and it was also coated with anti-corrosion paint.

What he did was because he built the boat with his mother-in-law.

Now, the mother-in-law is gone, so I left this old ship to make a thought.

When the old boat was pushed down the lake, Zhang Laosan fell asleep in bed.

Next to his pillow, there was a gold ingot and a white jade bottle.
