Walking through a low mountain beam, through the woods, I saw a small courtyard on the opposite hillside, and it was from this small courtyard that the smoke rose.

In front of the courtyard there was a gurgling mountain stream, and on the mountain stream there was a small bridge made of wooden sticks, and on the small bridge sat a young man fishing with a fishing rod made of branches.

The glow of the setting sun shone from the treetops, and the river seemed to be filled with countless pieces of gold. Fan Li praised in his heart, what a picture of sunset fishing in the mountains!

Fan Li was overjoyed in his heart, tonight's dinner was over. He led the horse down the ridge and walked towards the stream.

Getting closer and closer, Fan Li couldn't help muttering in his heart: What's the matter? It was so familiar, the boy seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Oops, I finally remembered. Isn't this young man Zimei's younger brother Shaohua? But isn't that right? Shaohua and his father Hu Qiu, because Zimei taught Xi Shi Zheng Dan the art of fox charm, has been beaten back to its original form by the god of thunder, if it were not for tightly hugging Fan Li's legs, Zimei would have suffered the same fate.

Zimei said that her father and younger brother still need a thousand years of cultivation to transform into human form. That being the case, how could Shaohua appear here in his original form?

Maybe it's another teenager who looks similar to Shaohua, right? Fan Li gave up the plan to say hello, don't be reckless, wait until you get closer and see clearly.

Leading the horse forward, the horse's hooves made a "stampede" sound on the mountain, which alarmed the fishing boy, he raised his head, couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Brother Fan Li!" ”

Sky! What a Shaohua!

Fan Li was overjoyed and shouted, "Brother Shaohua! ”

Shaohua dropped the fishing rod, jumped up, and ran to Fan Li: "Brother Fan Li, it's really you." When my father got up this morning, he said, "There is a distinguished guest coming today, and it turns out that it is you." Take the reins and "Go home." ”

Fan Li said: "Is my uncle at home?" ”

Shaohua said: "I am at home. ”

Fan Li saw Hu Qiu's family for the first time, they lived in a grand palace called Tucheng, when Hu Qiu and his son Shaohua returned to their original form, the palace disappeared, only to see two small beasts "squeak" screaming into the small hole under the tomb of King Yu.

This time his home became a small farmhouse courtyard, and he crossed the small bridge and came to the door of the small courtyard. Shaohua took the bag off the horse's back, patted the horse's back gently, and the horse went to graze on the hillside.

Shaohua shouted to the small courtyard: "Father! Brother Fan Li is here! Big brother, please come in. ”

entered the small courtyard. An old man on crutches rushed out of the hall. It is Hu Qiu Lao Xian.

Fan Li took a step forward, bowed, and said, "Fan Li has seen Uncle Xian!" ”

The old man returned the salute with crutches in both hands: "It turned out that Engong was here, fortunately!" ”

Fan Li said: "Uncle, after so many years, the old man should not say anything about his kindness." ”

The old man said, "Then how to do it, the grace of recreation, will never be forgotten." ”

Fan Li said: "Don't call it that, Fan Li can't bear it." ”

The old man smiled: "Okay, I'll call you sir," and shouted into the kitchen: "Ruiyun, come out and see Engong!" ”

"Hey!" The kitchen agreed, and out came a tall, delicate and handsome girl, with a sea blue dress, reflecting a white and tender face. When he saw the living person, he seemed a little shy, and then said, "I've seen Engong." ”

The old man said: "This is the great benefactor Fan Li I often talk to you about, Ruiyun, you are the same as Shaohua, call him big brother." ”

The girl named Ruiyun blushed and smiled slightly: "Brother Fan Li is good!" ”

Fan Li looked puzzled: "Uncle Xian, you have another daughter or-"

The old man Hu Qiu stroked his beard and smiled "hehe" and looked at Shaohua. Shaohua's face flushed slightly: "This is cheap." ”

Fan Li was taken aback, and then smiled: "It turns out that my brother is married." Congratulations. I didn't catch up with the wine, and there was no congratulatory gift in the hurry. It just so happens that I still have some gadgets here, not too crude, and talk about it. ”

took the brain sac in Shaohua's hand, took a pearl necklace from it, and handed it to Ruiyun: "Little sister, do you like it?" ”

Ruiyun hurriedly took it, tried it under his neck, and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Fan Li." ”

Fan Li took out a turquoise jade pendant, handed it to Shaohua, and said, "Actually, you don't lack anything, I just mean to express congratulations." ”

Shaohua took it, immediately hung it on his waist, and said, "Brother Fan Li has made a fortune, so he gave us such a good thing." ”

Fan Li took out a pure white jade ruyi from his bag, handed it to Hu Qiu, and said, "Uncle Xian will keep this little thing to play." ”

Hu Qiu took it and said with a smile: "Good thing, it's much easier to scratch the itch now." Shaohua, how many fish did you catch? ”

Shaohua said: "That small fish is not easy to catch, and it takes three days to catch a small bowl." ”

The old man nodded: "That's pretty good." Ruiyun, cook the little fish and entertain your guests tonight. ”

Ruiyun said yes and went to the kitchen to work.

The old man Hu Qiu said, "Come into the house and sit on the ground." ”

After entering the house and sitting down for a while, Ruiyun put on the food, mountain fruits, wild vegetables, mushrooms, and a small plate of small fish that were several inches long.

Old man Hu Qiu put the fish in front of Fan Li and said, "We don't eat this, it's specially prepared for you, how about tasting it?" ”

Fan Li picked up a small fish and put it in his mouth, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and fragrant. Unconsciously praised: "What kind of fish is this?" So delicious. ”

Hu Qiu said: "This fish is born in the spring of the earth, flows out of the ground with the mountains and rivers, and it is only seen once in hundreds of years. A few days ago, I saw a few in the creek in front of the door, and I knew that a guest was coming to taste it, so I asked Shaohua to make a fishing hook to fish, and it took three days to catch such a little. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know if you can eat it in that year or month. ”

Fan Li said: "It's so precious, come, everyone eats some." ”

Hu Qiu said: "We have all eaten it several times, and this is for you, and it is all yours to eat." Eat, eat, you're welcome. ”

Fan Li said: "What are the benefits of eating this fish? ”

Hu Qiu said: "It's not good, it's delicious, people don't get sick after eating, and it's not easy to get old, and nothing else." ”

Fan Lixin said that the benefits were too great, and said that there were no benefits. Later, Fan Li died of 90 years of life, whether it was caused by eating this small fish, I don't know.

After eating, Shaohua and Ruiyun went back to the room. Hu Qiu spoke with Fan Li. This family is full of fairy spirit, this mountain hut, the handsome Ruiyun like a flower, the table of mountain fruits and wild vegetables, and the small fish that only appear once in hundreds of years, all of them are full of mystery.

Also, Fan Li saw Hu Qiu and Shaohua turn into two little beasts with his own eyes, and entered the tomb of King Yu, it is said that it takes thousands of years of practice to become human again, why did they change back quickly?

Hu Qiu Lao had a smile on his face and said, "I know that Mr. guessed in his heart, Hu Qiu was not subjected to a catastrophe, why did he live so well?" ”

Fan Li smiled a little embarrassedly: "I really think so." ”

Hu Qiu said: "Mr. is my benefactor, this matter is not a secret in the fairy world, you can tell Mr. that the Emperor of Heaven punished my whole family for teaching the art of fox charm to the little girl, but seeing that Xi Shi Zheng Dan has learned this technique and has been acting according to the way of heaven, there are no evil deeds, so he returned the fundamental Taoism that was recovered to us." In order to thank the Emperor of Heaven, my youngest son Hua and I never killed and changed to vegetarian food. ”

Fan Li said: "It's really good and good. I should tell Zimei the good news so that she will be happy and happy. ”

The old man Hu Qiu said, "How is the little girl? ”。

Fan Li said: "It's good, it's getting more and more beautiful." ”
