Chapter 15 Saving the Carp
Liang Lan has not yet realized the approaching killing machine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoLife is very simple on a daily basis.
Get up early and practice diligently, and then read books seriously for the sake of autumn. With the wonderful Taoism taught by Taiyi Zhenren, Liang Lan is now unforgettable, and it has become a very simple thing for him to study and take the exam.
The only fly in the ointment is calligraphy, crooked and slanted really doesn't look like a scholar who has studied hard for many years, but fortunately, he has been practicing every day recently, and it looks a lot more upright.
Today's spring breeze is blowing and the sun is shining. After staying at home for more than half a day, Liang Lan decided to go out to breathe. His home is not far from the Qingshui River, where trees stand between the paths, and in early spring, you can see a few small flowers that are not afraid of the cold, which is a good place for walking.
Qingshui is a small city, only a few streets, and in about half an hour, Liang Lan came to the water's edge.
Fishermen who have gone out to fish during the day have just returned from a full load, parked their boats at the water's edge and started selling their stalls.
"Sell fish, delicious live fish!"
Seeing Liang Lan approaching, the fisherman shouted even louder.
Liang Lan paused and stopped in front of the stall. Two bamboo baskets with fat bellies and small mouths, because they are sticky and drain oil, do not leak. There are more than 10 fish in each, because there are few fish in the water, the fish are crowded together, and from time to time there is a strong "flutter" to provoke, stirring up a splash.
It can be seen that the fish are freshly caught and very vibrant, and this fish tastes the most delicious.
Liang Lan already likes to eat fish, but she is a little tired of coarse tea and light rice these days, so she just bought a fish to improve her life.
"Uncle, how do you sell this fish?"
Liang Lan asked.
The fisherman also lived nearby, and knew that Liang Lan was the stupid young master of the Liang family, so he replied with a smile: "Sell it to other people, eight cents a catty, sell it to your son, and five cents will be fine." ”
Selling things will generally raise the price to make it convenient to bargain, in fact, the normal market price of carp is only three or four pounds.
After Liang Lan came here, he hadn't bought two dishes in person, where did he know the market, seeing that this fisherman was loyal and honest, he didn't bargain: "Uncle, bring me two." ”
"Okay."
Seeing that Liang Lan was so generous, the fisherman was even more enthusiastic, and skillfully probed into the fish basket, fished out two fish, and pierced the gills with a thin piece of grass.
These two fish belong to the smallest of the fish baskets. One of them, the body surface is red, very bright, but it is a red carp, the body is the width of the palm, less than half a catty.
Liang Lan counted out a string of copper coins, then carried the fish and walked back.
The fish that was pierced through the gills did not die, and its tail shook vigorously, struggling, hoping to get out of it and escape.
Liang Lan lifted the fish and put it in front of him, just looked at the red carp, and saw that the fish's eyes were quite different, and he showed a rare agility, and in an instant, clear water droplets flowed out of his eyes.
This red carp seemed to be crying.
Teardrops fell to the ground one by one, moisturizing things silently, but they were like splashing down the heart, which made people feel compassion.
Liang Lan was stunned for a moment, looking at the dying and struggling fish, with the illusion of a trance, feeling that this was not a fish, but a poor person, grieving for survival.
"My brother is a cultivator, and God has the virtue of a good life, so I beg my brother to spare ......"
A gentle and beautiful female voice really sounded in my head.
Who is it?
Liang Lan took the fish around in place, and found no one else except for the old fish seller and the new neighbors just now.
Is it a hallucination?
Liang Lan lowered her head and saw that the red carp in her hand was crying even more, and even a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.
It turned out to be you, Liang Lan's eyes rolled, knowing that the carp in his hand might have been psychic, not an ordinary thing.
Ordinary cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks, and fish, Turin has not yet opened its consciousness, and only has the most primitive instincts, so it will only be human ingredients. But if there are a few extremely lucky guys who have a chance to get a glimpse of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and open their spiritual sense, then they are no longer ordinary mortals, but intelligent beings like human beings.
Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and since you have this opportunity, then I will send you to continue your cultivation.
He turned his feet and came to the edge of the clear water. At this moment, the Qingshui River is like a turquoise jade belt, lightly buckled around the waist of the county. The Wenxian Bridge that I walked before spanned the north and south of the river, and the large stone bridge body was covered with green moss, showing a mottled ancient meaning.
Coming to the bottom of the Wenxian Bridge, Liang Lan gently removed the grass that pierced the gills and put the fish in his hand into the water.
The fish got out of the water, and immediately swam away and sank away.
Standing by the river, Liang Lan smiled slightly and was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, the wind rose on the surface of the water, and the wind swept the water, and the river surface actually set off a lot of waves, which was quite strange.
Liang Lan probed her head and watched curiously, and saw a touching red among the waves, and the red carp released just now went straight to the head, looking as if the wind and waves were under her control.
In the blink of an eye, the red carp reached the water's edge, a stone's throw away from him.
The red carp stood up in the water, and somehow did it, its little head nodded at him, and its two pectoral fins were slightly closed and moved, as if a person was bowing his hand, and his demeanor was lively and childish.
Although Liang Lan was surprised, he soon realized that the three thousand avenues spread all over the heavens and the earth, and all living beings were naturally equal. Since you can cultivate the Tao, why can't you do flowers, trees, tigers, wolves, fish, and shrimp?
"It turned out to be a fellow Daoist," Liang Lan also returned the salute in the direction of the little carp: "Daoist friend is not welcome, you have to be careful in the future, don't be caught again." ”
Hearing Liang Lan say this, the little carp blinked, as if he also felt very moved by being treated so equally by Liang Lan.
"Go home, your family is waiting for you."
Liang Lan waved his hand, the red carp nodded, flicked his tail, and dived into the water. The wind and waves then dissipated, and on the surface of the water, only circles of ripples remained, and nothing unusual.
Hearing Liang Lan talking to the water several times, the people nearby looked at it with curiosity, and after watching it again and again, they finally confirmed that there was nothing on the water.
And, neurotic.
The rice digger next to her muttered quietly.
****************************
Inside Shimizu Castle.
Liang Wenyan sat in the room, picked up the tea bowl and just took a sip, then put it down again, and stood up and paced back and forth uneasily.
After a while, he lowered his head and clapped his hands, and asked the young man next to him again, who was a little clever.
"Liang Gui, let me ask again, the letter and the silver have been sent to the mountain?"
Liang Guigong looked cautious: "Young Master, last night, the small one was delivered and personally handed over to those heroes of Black Wind Mountain." ”
In his heart, he was slandering, young master, you have asked this dozens of times.
It's really strange to say, but it's obviously agreed to send someone over today to discuss big things. It's almost dark this day, and the bandits in Black Wind Mountain are still nowhere to be seen, could it be that something happened on the road?
Liang Wenyan is also most worried about this, the task document is written in detail, if he is really captured by the official army and the bandits who entered the city, he Liang Wenyan will inevitably enter the scope of investigation, the county order Zhou Ji is honest and honest, in case of a thorough investigation, it will be a huge trouble.
Collusion with bandits is a felony!
"No, I'm still not at ease," Liang Wenyan snapped his fan: "Liang Gui, you accompany me to the street to see if anything has changed." ”
"What the young master said is," Liang Guichen stepped forward with a smile: "Maybe the heroes of Black Wind Mountain haven't found a place, and it's not the first time they've done this, young master don't worry." ”
The two of them put on their robes and walked out of Liang Garden, all the way to the crowded downtown teahouse.
All kinds of people and horses have contacts here, and they are the most well-informed. After listening to it with his ears pricked up for a long time, Liang Wenyan didn't hear the rumors that any bandits had been captured by the official army recently, so he was a little relieved.
In the other corner of the teahouse, Liu Tong's group who was following all the way was bowing their heads, pretending to drink tea and chat.
"Brother Tong, what should I do, I see this kid in the portrait!"
"Do you want to go up and be him now?"
"Don't be in a hurry to do it yet, there are a lot of people here, let's look for opportunities."
Liu Tong touched the dagger hidden in his arms, and he was a little happy in his heart, without the task paperwork, he lost his contact information, and he was lucky like a headless fly along the way. Apparently lucky, they asked many people with the portrait, and finally determined the approximate location of the owner of the portrait.
Just walked out on the streets, hey, it's really hard to find nowhere to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.
All of a sudden, the sharp-eyed Wu monkey spotted this kid in the crowd.
"Don't blame grandpa for being ruthless with his sword, if you want to blame it, blame your own life."
Liu Tong grinned, revealing a sneer.
……
Liang Wenyan, who sat down to drink tea, suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he would never have dreamed that because of the blood relationship, he and Liang Lan looked similar, and the portrait was not particularly fine as a reference.
