Chapter 43: Taihu Lake Water Village
In fact, this matter does not have to see the owner of the village, why not ask his brother-in-law, naturally you can get a definite answer, but Xu Zizhen thinks that the waters of Taihu Lake are vast, adjacent to the three prefectures of Suzhou Changzhou Huzhou, and you have to have a good relationship with both black and white to do business.
Moreover, a year later, the Jin State invaded, the two sects of Huiqin were taken into captivity, the Southern Song Dynasty officially began, the traitors in the court and the central government were in charge, and Qin Hui held power for decades.
The next day, Xu Zizhen got up early and rushed to the Taihu Lake, He Liangliang had been waiting there, and not long after, a small boat slowly shook out from the reeds, and there was only a man dressed as a fisherman on the boat, with a dark face and a strong body, and an honest villager.
"Brother-in-law." He Liangliang called obediently.
The fisherman nodded, glanced at Xu Zizhen, and said lightly: "Come up." ”
Xu Zizhen didn't say much, jumped on the boat, He Liangliang was just about to follow, the fisherman waved his hand: "Don't go, stay." ”
"Huh?" He Liangliang suddenly panicked a little and said hurriedly, "Brother-in-law, I'm ...... I'll just go and see. ”
His brother-in-law glanced at him and didn't speak, but Xu Zizhen didn't care, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You go back, they won't let this lake full of fish and shrimp eat me." ”
He Liangwu was not at ease, and whispered again: "Big brother, don't talk nonsense when you get inside." ”
Xu Zizhen didn't pay attention to it: "Okay, you can go back." ”
The boat sailed unhurriedly into the depths of Taihu Lake, and after an unknown time, it went around into a reed, and there were white flowers everywhere, Xu Zizhen saw this kind of beauty for the first time, and couldn't help but look around curiously, and admired it from time to time.
He Liangliang's brother-in-law saw that he looked indifferent, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart, Taihu Lake Water Village was well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't know if he really had the courage and courage, or he didn't know the power of Ludao Water Village at all.
Until I don't know how long later, the boat went around into a narrow waterway, after seven turns and eight circles, the eyes suddenly opened up, a wide water appeared in front of Xu Zizhen, a small island in the distance, the island is surrounded by thick wooden piles, and there are rows of sharpened bamboos on the shore, and the sharp pointed ends are facing the outer circle, obviously to prevent the enemy from attacking.
There is not a single ship in sight around the entire island, but Xu Zizhen believes that if there are really officers and soldiers to attack, I am afraid that as soon as a gong sounds, a fast boat will burst out from every invisible corner.
He Liangliang's brother-in-law rocked the boat to a fence on the edge of the island and shouted, "The guest is here, open the door!" ”
Xu Zizhen also looked up, and there was no human figure in the fence, but it still creaked and slowly opened, revealing a straight waterway inside.
The boat went straight inside, and as soon as it entered the door, the fence behind it was closed again, and at this time, countless figures suddenly appeared on the shore on both sides, one holding a long bow and a steel knife at the waist, the formation was neat and majestic, and the eyes were staring at Xu Zizhen on the boat.
Xu Zizhen couldn't help but secretly praise: "So domineering!" Is this really a water bandit? ”
After a while, a magnificent building appeared in front of me, with red bricks and green tiles flying eaves and dragon's back, like a miniature version of the palace standing in the center of the island.
He Liangliang's brother-in-law rested the boat and waved his hand: "Please." ”
Xu Zizhen stepped off the boat, looked curiously, and followed him inside, there were already two columns of fishermen with spears in their hands at the door, one by one, they stood like pines without squinting, and when Xu Zizhen came to the front, he suddenly shouted in unison, and the spears in his hands were two by two to set up a gun array.
Xu Zizhen had seen this face on TV a long time ago, and he had prepared before coming, but when this situation was in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a chill, and the bright head of the gun was above his head, this kind of pressure was something he had never had, but he had never been willing to give in, although there was a cold sweat on his back, he still pretended to be disdainful and smiled coldly, and walked forward with his head held high.
Not far from the door is the hall, there are more than a dozen fishermen dressed on both sides, just a full of energy, sharp eyes, obviously some leader-level figures, at the end of the hall in the center of the place is a yellow rosewood Taishi chair, on the chair sat an old man who was close to the sixtieth year, his eyes slightly squinted at Xu Zizhen who entered the door.
I don't know why, Xu Zizhen had an illusion at the moment he was seen, as if he was being targeted by a wild beast, Rumang was extremely uncomfortable in his back, but now he had to hold on, so he simply narrowed his eyes and looked back.
The old man suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Ha Lu Ha! Okay, this kid has a good guts, I like it! ”
With his smile, Xu Zizhen suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was lightened, he breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded secretly: Old bastard, do you want to give me a horse?
The old man laughed for a while, his face suddenly sank again, and he sneered: "Boy, you said that you want to buckle the basin of the fishing village on Lao Tzu's head, right?" It's not a small amount of courage! ”
Xu Zizhen smiled, sat down on a chair next to him, and said with a big grin: "Old man, you also scared me, I am a timid person, I can't be scared, this is what I said is true, but if I don't say so, are you willing to see me?" ”
The old man was obviously stunned, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Okay! It's been a long time since I've seen a kid as bold as you. He paused and said, "But you are wrong about one thing, if Lao Tzu hadn't known about your kid, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu would have thrown you directly into Taihu Lake to feed Wang Ba." ”
He was a Laozi boy, how could Xu Zizhen sound so awkward, but after hearing the most awkward, he was stunned: "My business?" Old man, what do you know about me? ”
The old man smiled: "Didn't Lao Tzu just say that you have guts?" Dare to go into the thief's cave alone and save so many girls out, this alone, Lao Tzu can't ask you to drink Taihu Lake water...... Come, get the wine! ”
Soon someone moved a big jar out, on a small table in front of the old man, the mud seal had just been opened, and a strong aroma of wine came out, Xu Zizhen sniffled and praised sincerely: "Good wine!" ”
The old man snorted: "Nonsense! This is kept by Lao Tzu to marry his daughter, how can it be bad? Pour the wine! ”
Someone next to him put a celadon bowl on the table, and the bowl was poured to the brim, and the old man pointed with his hand: "Come!" ”
Xu Zizhen put his palm up: "Wait a while!" ”
The old man raised his eyebrows: "What?" ”
Xu Zizhen said lightly: "I have to make sure that the robbery of the fishing village yesterday has nothing to do with you, so that I can drink this wine with you, otherwise...... I'm sorry, I can't afford to make your friend. ”
