Hongrui knew that Li Xiaofei wanted to be quiet and sort out his chaotic thoughts, so he didn't stop him: "It's okay if you go to the river for a walk, remember to bring a few people", Li Xiaofei nodded: "Yes, I was not afraid of anything when I was a grass farmer, but now I am a little afraid of death, mainly because I am afraid that I will not see my sister again", Hongrui sneered: "Go quickly, don't be poor."

Li Xiaofei took five people to the street to buy fishing rods, hooks and other utensils and materials, and the store sang praises for virtue, Li Xiaofei threw down the usual money and left.

There is a Wabu Lake outside Shou County, Huainan grain field irrigation mostly depends on Wabu Lake water supply, the fish and shrimp in the lake are fat, and there are many fishermen. Li Xiaofei and his entourage rode to the lake and found a shallow beach for fishing.

From time to time, there are white cranes, sand gulls, cormorants, etc., diving and fishing, and jumping on the lake. In the distance, a few fishing boats are parked in the middle of the lake, and fishermen spread their nets to catch fish.

Li Xiaofei had no intention of fishing, let the fish bite the hook but couldn't get the rod, and looked at the fishing boats and fishermen in the distance in a daze. Suddenly, a few eight or nine-year-old children came over with a few thick bamboos and shouted: "Look at that fool, the fish bite the hook and don't know how to start the rod, and even the fishing rod will be ripped off by the big fish after a while", the child led by the child stopped in front of Li Xiaofei with a slender bamboo pole against the bamboo under his feet. Li Xiaofei came back to his senses and reached out to pick up the rod, but before his hand could catch it, the fishing rod flew straight out of the water. Several of the children laughed, and the leader fell into the water unsteadily, and the rest of the children followed suit.

After a while, the children swam back with fishing rods and a large carp. Li Xiaofei also laughed when he saw this scene, and ordered his entourage to give money to the children. The children went ashore one after another to pick up the money and thanked Li Xiaofei. Li Xiaofei suddenly remembered that there was no boat to cross the river in Lishui a few months ago, so he asked a few children: "Can adults learn from you that a big bamboo floats on the lake?" The child at the head smiled: "We are also taught by adults, we have no big trees in Zhangjia Village, we can't build boats, we all follow this trick learned by an old gentleman, so that we can fish in the lake." Li Xiaofei came to the spirit: "May I ask this old gentleman with a big name, where is he now, I want to visit", the child pointed to a shoal next to him: "Mr. Qi Nian is fishing over there."

Li Xiaofei got up and straightened his clothes, washed the soil with lake water, and walked towards Mr. Qi Nian with the carp handed over by the children.

When Mr. Qi Nian saw someone coming, he collected the rod and waited for someone to come. Li Xiaofei walked up to the front and handed the carp with both hands: "The kid has seen Mr. Qi Nian, the carp he just caught, it is not a respect, please Mr. smile", Mr. Qi Nian took off the bamboo basket on his back: "You can drink a few pots of wine tonight, and after fishing for a day today, it can be regarded as a bait", Li Xiaofei put the fish into the fish basket and waited for Mr. Qi Nian to continue talking. Mr. Qi Nian put the fish basket on his back and walked straight away.

Li Xiaofei followed behind, and neither of them spoke all the way. After walking a few miles, I came to Zhangjia Village, which is full of bamboo forests and bamboo houses. When the people in the village saw Mr. Qi Nian coming, they all saluted and greeted, and there were also melons and vegetables in the fish basket for Mr.

After walking for a while, I came to the end of the village, and a small bamboo building surrounded by a bamboo fence was Mr. Qi Nian's residence. A big yellow dog wagged its tail and yelled at Li Xiaofei at the door, and a raccoon cat jumped on Mr. Qi Nian's back and scratched its paws in the fish basket. A few Luhua chickens also followed him, and he sat on the stone steps downstairs, and pulled out a straw-woven bag from the fish basket, opened the bag, and shook out the small fish and shrimp inside, and the raccoon cat jumped down and pounced, and the Luhua chicken retreated to the side and pecked. Mr. turned out a river mussel and broke it and fed it to the big yellow dog, and then beckoned Li Xiaofei to sit down as well: "Dare to ask Lord Taishou what he has gained along the way?" Li Xiaofei said without thinking: "Mr. is indeed a master in the world, and he can let everyone in the village live and work in peace and contentment with his own strength, I am ashamed to say that Li did not know that there was such a village not far from the city", Mr. Qinian shook his head and smiled: "It seems that there is still a harvest, and it is said that the whole world is not the king's land, but the people on this king's land still hope that the adults will treat them well." Let's just say that some time ago, the city opened a warehouse to release grain, and no one in this Zhangjia village got grain. But when you pay taxes, you still have to pay them", Li Xiaofei was surprised: "Sir, do you mean that someone has embezzled?" Then I will go back and investigate thoroughly", Mr. Qi Nian touched the head of the yellow dog: "It seems that Lord Taishou is not familiar with the rules and regulations of this dynasty, this Zhangjia Village is not a registered household in this dynasty, so there are no people from Zhangjia Village in the household registration register of Shou County, and the people in Zhangjia Village are all working in the mountains and forests of the Xiao family, and they have to pay taxes to the Xiao family", Li Xiaofei sighed: "It seems that this Xiao family is the master of the world", Qi Nian stretched out his hand and beckoned the raccoon cat: "My lord, you are wrong, The lord of the world has never been a king and those big families, the world, the world is the world of the people of the world. Li Xiaofei was a little puzzled, Mr. Qi Nian pointed to the big waterwheel by the lake: "Look at this waterwheel, help people to scoop rice, for irrigation in the distant fields", and then pointed to the half-cut bamboo connected pipe in the yard: "So that you don't have to carry water, there are many tools and many things, not those princes and generals can do it, what can be done is these lowest-status untouchables, they are the most powerful people in the world, they are the real masters of the world", Li Xiaofei will be suspicious: "What Mr. said is admirable, I have been in the army since the army, It's all about princes and generals, and only Mr. treats these untouchables as human beings, and respects them to discover their strength, Mr. is really a master. What does the gentleman want me to do? Mr. Qi Nian laughed: "In your life, you can't get rid of the monarch and the ministers, and I don't expect you to raise your arms." I just watched the sky at night and found that there would be heavy rain just now, and I was afraid that you would get caught in the rain, so I called you to come and take shelter from the rain", Li Xiaofei also laughed, at this time the dark clouds were thick, the thunder was loud, and the raindrops quickly hit the ground.

Mr. Qi Nian led Li Xiaofei into the bamboo building, Li Xiaofei looked at the heavy rain outside the building, Mr. Qi Nian closed his eyes: "Lord Taishou, I'll sleep first, I have tea, dried fish, dried meat, and cold porridge here, if you are hungry, you can take it yourself."
