Chapter 422: Boating on the River (1)

So after Chen Zhuang woke up early in the morning, although his mind was still not clear, but for some reason, he insisted on going to the river to fish, and his henchmen were stubborn, so he could only go with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After the two came to the river, they found a quiet place, but all anglers, so as to choose a quiet place facing the sun, if it is too noisy, there will be no fish at all. However, at this time, the henchmen realized that they were in a hurry, and there was no fishing gear at all, so it was estimated that it would be very difficult to find it at this time.

Now that the two armies are fighting, it stands to reason that no one will be fishing, but despite this, the henchmen still have the attitude of giving it a try, looking around, hoping to find some fishermen. Sure enough, on the surface of this river, there is indeed a fisherman, driving a small boat, fishing on the river, the fishing method in this Bashu land is very peculiar. It is not like the fishing of the coastal people, and it is not a one-rod fishing like Jiang Taigong, but with the help of an animal, the fishing.

Cormorant, also known as water crow, osprey, duck, black ghost, its body is narrower than a duck, the body feathers are metallic black, good at diving and fishing, flying in a straight line, in the dim water, the cormorant can do a hundred shots with the help of a keen sense of hearing. However, the cormorant must surface to swallow after catching the prey, and it is for this reason that the ancestors of Bashu began to domesticate the cormorant to fish.

Although the speed of cormorants is not as fast as that of fish, the water temperature is low in winter, the fish do not swim very much, and it is relatively easy to catch, and most of the females at this time still have eggs in their abdomen, and the speed of swimming is slower, so it is not difficult for cormorants. I saw that the old man put all the cormorants on the bow of the boat into the water, and the cormorants' necks were wrapped with thin hemp ropes, so that even if the cormorants did not rise to the surface, they would not swallow the fish.

"Old man! Come and talk! The henchman shouted from the shore.

But the fisherman did not seem to hear these cries, and waited slowly for the cormorant to return. The henchman didn't react at all when he saw the fisherman, and then looked at Chen Zhuang beside him, with a look of anticipation, after Chen Zhuang suddenly suffered such a major blow at this time, the whole person fell into a kind of loss. At this moment, Chen Zhuang is demented, like a child of several years old, and he has no scheming at all.

"Old man! Come and talk! The henchman shouted several times, and the fisherman finally heard the shouts from the shore.

"But is it because the old man speaks?" The fisherman then replied.

When the henchman heard this, he said happily:

"Exactly! The old man rocked the boat over! When the fisherman heard the shout, he quickly withdrew the cormorant and rocked the boat over. But the two officials want to cross the river? The fisherman asked in a loud voice as he rocked the boat closer. In this chaos, many people have fled to the south bank of the river after leaving the city under the pretext of leaving the city. The fisherman is also idle these days, so when he hears the shouting, he thinks that there are people fleeing again, and it seems that he has a lot of income today.

When the henchman saw the fisherman's question, he immediately said:

"Old man! My master, I want to fish, and I hope that the old man will let me wait for the boat! ā€

When the fisherman heard this, he actually wanted to fish, and then looked at the two of them very confused, and asked:

"The two of them are well-dressed, they must be nobles in the city, how can they still have the heart to come out to fish when this army is in chaos?"

Seeing this, the henchmen couldn't answer for a while, so naturally they couldn't identify themselves, but it seemed that they didn't tell the reason, and the fisherman naturally refused to let them get on the boat. The henchman thought to himself, "It's still the old way," no matter when, in his arms, there is always indispensable gold and silver, which is caused by his own identity, and he often accompanies Chen Zhuang on trips.

There are naturally not a few places that need to be dotted on the road, so the gold and silver that are indispensable in his arms, the henchman took out a piece of gold cake with his hand and served it casually.

"It's convenient for the old man, my master, I am depressed and need to find a quiet place, and I hope the old man will be successful!"

When the fisherman saw it, he was in a good mood immediately, and quickly took it, and then said very gratefully:

"Little Lao'er has seen so much gold before, if it weren't for the fact that the family still needs food, he wouldn't come out at this time, it's just that! That's it! In that case, come up to the two of you! As he spoke, he flicked the oars forward and leaned ashore. The henchman hurriedly mixed with Chen Zhuang's boat, Chen Zhuang sat on the side of the boat, unconsciously closed his eyes, the fisherman shook the oars, and the boat ran away to the heart of the river.

Chen Zhuang closed his eyes and concentrated, his body was on the boat, swaying with the waves, the breeze on the river, clear and clear, Chen Zhuang took a deep breath and slowly spit it out. In his mind, like a pulp, he began to slowly wake up, reminiscing about everything that happened, feeling the touch between the iceberg and the sea of fire. I really didn't expect that overnight, from the top of power back to the starting point, or not even the starting point, it was even more depressing than that.

At the same time, the fisherman continued to put the cormorant into the water, and the cormorant flew out with a chirp, and the sound of the chirp woke up Chen Zhuang who was in deep thought, and when Chen Zhuang opened his eyes again at this time, he suddenly felt that between heaven and earth, the wind was clear, and the depression in his chest was gone.

Looking at the cormorant in front of him, he tried his best to catch the fish, but the fish did not reach his mouth at all.

"In the end, it's just the beauty of adults, making a wedding dress!" Chen Zhuang said helplessly.

"Why does the gentleman say that?" The henchman said on the side.

Chen Zhuang didn't seem to hear his hints, and said to himself:

"Poor little brute! Risking your life and diving into the water, and in the end you get nothing, it's really pitiful! ā€

When the fisherman heard Chen Zhuang's emotion, he knew that these people were extraordinary, so he naturally couldn't ignore them, and hurriedly catered to them:

"Sir's words are wrong, all things in this heaven and earth are born with their own duties, how can they be said to be pitiful? If the little old man was born in a princely family, he would not have to go out to fish for the family's food and clothing at this time. And today, there is a big chaos, the princes are strife, where is there a place for the common people to live! Everything is predestined, don't force it! ā€

When Chen Zhuang heard this, he immediately felt like waking up from a dream, and he never thought that this old man who was fishing was so smart, and his words were full of philosophy.

"The old man is reasonable, he is reasonable! Everything in this world seems to have a fixed number, and I can't force it! As he spoke, he stood up and looked at Chengdu, the capital of Bashu. The towering city wall, the wide moat, the panoramic view, the warriors above the city, all dressed in linen and filial piety, such a scene made Chen Zhuang very surprised.
