Chapter 31: Fishing

Gao Jing They had lunch on the boat and sat on the side of the boat with a fishing rod to fish, I don't know if the traversers are all the sons of God or the favor of the god of luck, in less than an hour Gao Jing caught more than a dozen fish, others only caught two or three, Xu Qing did not catch one.

Gao Jing saw that the fish was almost fishing, so he put away the fishing rod and said, "The fish is almost finished, let's go back to the dock!" ”

Xu Qing looked at his empty fishing basket and said angrily: "You guys go in first, I'll fish for a while!" As soon as the words fell, the others handed the fish basket to the boatman and went directly to the dock. Xu Qing looked at the empty deck and muttered angrily: "A group of unrighteous guys! After saying that, they ignored Gao Jing, and they were angry and fished on the deck by themselves.

Gao Yu was a little worried when he saw Xu Qing fishing on the deck alone, "It's okay for us to leave Brother Xu on the deck alone, right?" ”

"Don't worry, it's okay, Brother Xu's self-healing ability is super strong!" Gao Jing comforted.

Gao Yu was about to speak when he suddenly heard Xu Qing shouting outside: "Come out and see, I have caught a big fish!" Gao Jing and the others heard Xu Qing's shout, and came out with a lot of face to pay tribute to Xu Qing's big fish.

"Come over and help," Xu Qing shouted at Gao Jing and them. Gao Jing and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help pull the fishing rod and dragged the big fish out of the lake little by little. When the big fish revealed the true face of Lushan, Xu Qing was so frightened that he sat down on the deck, Gao Jing immediately helped Xu Qing up and ordered: "Mingquan, hurry up and report to the Yamen!" Ming Song, you go and ask the boat lady to go into the water and fish the girl up! ”

The boat lady fished up the girl in the lake and pressed her chest desperately to press out the stagnant water in her stomach, but Gao Jing stopped: "Boat girl, stop, this girl is dead!" Disbelieving, the boat lady put her hand under the girl's nose for a while, before she was sure that she was really dead, and sat down on the deck with a bang and sighed, "It's a pity for such a handsome girl! ”

At this time, a group of servants rushed onto the boat, walked quickly to the deceased, and after making sure that she was dead, they asked, "Is it the deceased you found?" ”

"We caught the dead while we were fishing!" Gao Jing replied.

"We're not sure if you have anything to do with the death of the deceased, so you're going to come back to the yamen with me!" The head of the shop said.

Gao Yu was angry and wanted to come forward to theorize, Gao Jing grabbed him and was about to appease him, and the person who checked the corpse reported angrily: "Li Zhutou, the deceased died by drowning, and the time of death was around last night. ”

"Li Zhutou, we are all students of Songshan Academy, we were all in the academy last night, and the masters and students of the academy can testify!" Gao Jing hurriedly explained.

At this time, Cui Yuan walked up to the boat and interjected: "Li Zhutou, Gao Jing and I are roommates, and they slept in the dormitory of the academy all night last night, I can testify to this!" ”

Li Zhutou immediately replied respectfully: "Since Cui Gongzi testifies for you, then you don't have to go to the yamen." After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to carry away the corpse, and respectfully said goodbye to Cui Yuan and left quickly!

Cui Yuan saw that the corpse was carried away by the officials, and after nodding to Gao Jing and them, he was about to leave, Gao Jing quickly stopped him and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Cui, who is the deceased?" What does it have to do with Brother Cui? ”

Cui Yuan glanced up at Gao Jing, and said expressionlessly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's better for you not to meddle in your affairs!" ”

Gao Jing nodded knowingly and said, "Thank you for reminding me, thank you Brother Cui for testifying for us just now!" ”

"You saved Jin'er this morning and saved her reputation, and I repay you as well! I used to offend a lot in the academy, and I still hope for Haihan! After Cui Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left!

"No, what does he mean?" Xu Qing said a little dazed.

"That's right, third brother, he doesn't let you meddle in your affairs, it's obviously not a good thing, why do you thank him?" Gao Yu asked a little confused.

"He's reminding us that this involves a powerful person, and it's not something we can meddle in easily!" Gao Jing explained.

"What he said just now is reasonable, the grievances are clear, and he is not as weird as when he was in the academy, it seems that we were wrong to blame him before!" Gao Lang sighed.

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, maybe that is his protective color!" Gao Jing sighed.

At this time, the boat lady walked up to Gao Jing and the others with the cooked fish and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the fish you caught has been cooked!" The slave family has also prepared a few other side dishes for you, and they are all ready! ”

"Trouble the shipwreck to bring the meal to the table in the dock and put it away!" Gao Jing commanded.

"Okay, Childe!" After replying, the boat lady went into the dock with her meal.

"Third brother, can you still eat after seeing the corpse?" Gao Yu asked.

"What then? The boat lady is ready, do you want me to say no? This table of meals is just a table of meals for us, and it may be worth half a month's fare for the ship's mother! Gao Jing replied.

"Third brother, you really know about folk life, I think about this matter!" Gao Yu said with some shame.

Gao Jing smiled, it's not that he understands the folk, but that he lived in the folk in his previous life, and understands that it is not easy for the poor to survive, and this is still the case in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

"We all grew up in Yamen, who hasn't seen a corpse, and besides, there is only food in the world that can't be disappointed, let's go eat!" Xu Qing urged.

"What about Cui Yuan, what should we do when we meet him in the academy?" Gao Yu asked.

"How it was before, how will it be in the future!" Gao Jing replied.

"But he just helped us, and it's not good for us to do this!" Gao Yu hesitated.

"Friends don't care if they are usually close or not, the key is to help each other in times of crisis, we continue to keep our distance from him on the surface, if he encounters any hardships in the future, we will help him through it!" Gao Lang explained.

"Why should we keep our distance from him on the surface?" Xu Qing asked with some confusion.

Gao Jing sighed and explained: "Cui Yuan used to study in private school, he had a friend named Song Qian, who was a doctor and then named Song Qian, talented, enthusiastic and cheerful, and Cui Yuan was quite deed, the two of them have always been among the best in the private school, when the county school test, Cui Yuan was the first of the case, Song Qian was the second, Cui Yuan's stepmother was deeply jealous, afraid that he would threaten her son's status, and quietly drugged his food, so that he could not afford to be sick a few days before the hospital test, Song Qian came to visit the patient and found the cause, took Cui Yuan to his home to take care of him personally and asked his grandfather to diagnose and prescribe medicine for him, and finally let Cui Yuan recover before the start of the hospital examination and was admitted to Xiucai in one fell swoop. Cui Yuan had his grandmother and father follow him, and his stepmother didn't dare to act rashly, so she sent her anger on Song Qian's head, and found someone to frame his grandfather for selling fake medicine and eating dead people, so that in the end, the hospital was closed, his grandfather was sentenced to death, and the family sold their property and left Jiangzhou! Since then, Cui Yuan has become a yin and yang weird appearance! ”

"Third brother, how do you know? And Cui Yuan's stepmother made a game to frame Song Qian's grandfather, and no one cared about it? Gao Yu asked.

"Of course I asked someone to investigate." Gao Jing explained: "As for Song Qian's matter, think about Cui Yuan's father is the governor of Jiangzhou, where he is the most powerful, and who would dare to save the person whose wife hinted that he wanted to rectify it?" ”

"After all, this is a human life, so his father doesn't care about his stepmother?" Xu Qing asked angrily.

"I guess I can't control it, after all, his stepmother is the daughter of his father Shangguan, so we still have to keep our distance from him on the surface in the future, which is good for both parties!" Gao Lang sighed.

"Don't talk about these unhappy things, let's hurry up and eat, or the food will be cold!" Xu Qing urged.

Gao Jing, they nodded, and went into the dock to stay with the fruits of their labor today!
