The wind chimes trembled and was helped up, patted his heart, and said with palpitations: "It's scared to death." Fast! Close the door! There will be no business tonight. ”

The poor guy who was stamped by Zhan Ning'er was carried out with all hands and feet, and he was healed. Feng Chime called two people to help, returned to the small hall in the back garden, sat on the chair and poured three bowls of cold cups, and then relieved his breath.

"Huh?"

Feng Chime'er came back to her senses, saw the clothes on the table, and suddenly remembered Ye Xiaotian: "What about people? Let's go? Hey! It's really a few poor bones, hard enough. But...... What about the silver? ”

Feng Chime got up and took a closer look, not only was the silver ingots gone, but it seemed that a set of clothes was missing. The two people who came back with him saw that he was acting strangely, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Wind Chime, what are you looking for?" ”

Feng Chime was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Well...... there's a young man in this house, does it look like...... The mouth is especially good-looking, do you know who his surname is and where he lives? ”

The two looked at each other, then at the empty hall, and their faces changed color: "Yo! Brother Wind Chime, what are you talking about, don't be joking at night, it's scary. ”

Wind Chimes: "......"

……

When Ye Xiaotian returned to the Land Temple, it was already dark. Huxian is a mountain city, half flat, half hillside, there is a river between the high mountain and the flat land, and the land temple is on the slope of the mountain.

When Ye Xiaotian is under the mountain, there are lights to illuminate, and when he climbs the mountain, he looks at the distant mountains and stars, all of which are light or black ink, but fortunately, there is a big bright moon in the sky, sprinkled with frost all over the ground, and he can see clearly in the near distance.

Ye Xiaotian stopped and looked back at the bottom of the mountain, but when he saw the lights lit, as bright as the stars in the sky, he was in a high place and a dark place, looking at the soft red ten-zhang and the world, that wonderful feeling was something he had never had when he was in the capital.

In such a quiet and beautiful atmosphere, Ye Xiaotian, who was optimistic by nature, had long forgotten his troubles, he pinched the two silver ingots in his sleeve, and touched the set of women's clothes with excellent materials in the crook of his arm, hehe smiled, and climbed the mountain faster.

When he was about to reach the mountain temple, Ye Xiaotian suddenly stopped. There is a mountain stream next to it, the creek is not wide, but the riverbed is very wide, probably when the flash flood bursts, it is always turbulent here, and now the riverbed is exposed at this season, and there is a large area of pebbles.

There are no shrubs on both sides of the riverbed, the moonlight reflects the flowing water, turning into ten thousand streamers, the river looks far away, like a silver shining jade belt, on this jade belt, there is a young man with a bamboo basket on his back.

The boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was still very immature, but his body was already stronger than many adults. He carried a bamboo basket on his back, a torch made of dry reeds in his left hand, and a thin-bladed knife two feet long in his right hand, and stood in the stream with his trouser leg in his hand.

On such a night, in such a mountain stream, a young man holding a torch, holding a knife in his hand, standing in the stream like a jade belt, such a picture made Ye Xiaotian very curious, but he immediately understood what this young man was doing.

The young man was too focused and didn't feel Ye Xiaotian, he held a torch in one hand and a thin knife in the other, bowed his back slightly, and walked slowly in the gurgling water. Suddenly, his arm flipped over, and he saw a flash of cold light, and the straight and narrow knife slashed into the water, splashing a splash.

When he lifted the knife, there was already a fat fish hanging on the knife, and the blade had cut deep into the fish's body. The fat fish wagged its tail desperately, but before the fat fish could break free from the knife, the young man raised the knife sharply and threw the fat fish into the back basket behind his shoulder.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but exclaim softly. He knew how to fish with nets, he had seen fishing with rods, and he knew people spearfishing, but it was the first time he had seen fish with a knife.

The fish were frightened by the sudden light and swam away, and the fisherman stood in the flowing water, his hands and eyes were quick, and he slashed the fish swimming at the bottom of the water with a knife.

Hearing the exclamation, the young man turned sharply, the torch in his hand still held steadily, and the sharp knife was already across his chest.

Ye Xiaotian said hello: "Hi! My name is Ye Xiaotian, friend, you are so clever in fishing. ”

The young man looked at him vigilantly: "In the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”

Ye Xiaotian pointed halfway up the mountain and said, "I live there." ”

The boy still didn't let his guard down: "Living in the Land Temple? Up the mountain at this hour? ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled: "Isn't it strange? You don't fish during the day, you have to catch it at night, and you don't use a spearfish net, but you have to use a knife, which I think is very strange when you look at it. ”

The young man stared at him for a moment, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes: "This method of fishing was learned by me from the mountain tribes. ”

He turned away, casting his gaze on the sparkling water again.

Ye Xiaotian's heart suddenly moved, although he has money now, although there is no curfew in the mountain city, because of the thin profits, no one comes out to do business at night, because he came all the way and didn't buy any food. Now seeing this young man catching fish, Ye Xiaotian suddenly thought of a way to barter.

Ye Xiaotian raised the clothes on his arms and said to the young man: "Little brother, I haven't eaten today, if it's just that I haven't eaten, but there are still three mouths waiting for me in the Land Temple." ”

The boy straightened up and listened to him with a calm face.

Ye Xiaotian said: "How about I exchange this set of clothes for your fish?" It's the finest silk. ”

The boy shook his head and said, "This is not the clothes that a working person should wear. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "I can wait for you to get married and give it to your bride." How can the bride wear coarse cloth clothes and a silky silk, then it is beautiful. ”

The young man's eyes lit up, and he waded ashore in the river, but he didn't get close to Ye Xiaotian. Although he believed that Ye Xiaotian was not dangerous to him, he instinctively kept a distance, which was a habit peculiar to hunters.

The boy put the torch on the soft grass beside him, and knocked the bamboo basket down, and there were five or six fatty fish in it, each of which was at least about one and a half catties. The boy snapped a few supple weeds, braided them neatly into a rope, and skewered the four largest fish from the gills through the mouth.

The young man put the rest of the fish back into the fish basket, carried it on his back, and lifted the knife, and then handed the fish strung with a straw rope to Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian happily handed over the set of clothes, and the young man shook his head and said, "The fish will be sent to you." I don't want clothes. When I marry my daughter-in-law, I will earn money to buy her a few pieces of silk and make new clothes. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, looking a little stubborn and a little proud, but it gave people a very sincere and natural feeling, without a trace of offensive arrogance, Ye Xiaotian suddenly had a good impression of him.

Ye Xiaotian thought about it, and then took out a small silver ingot, and spread it in the palm of his hand: "You don't want clothes, and I can't get cheap from you, I'll buy it with silver, borrow your knife, and split it." ”

The young man said lightly: "No need, I said to send you, then send you!" ”

Ye Xiaotian slowly tightened his palms, nodded and said, "Okay!" Today's four fish are regarded as a favor I owe you. If there is a chance in the future, Ye will definitely repay him. ”

There was a playful smile in the young man's eyes, isn't it funny that a hungry man whose whole family lives in a ruined earth temple even has to beg him for fish in the middle of the night when he is a fisherman, and he still talks about what to answer for the reward?

Ye Xiaotian saw the smile in his eyes, and Ye Xiaotian said loudly: "There is no dragon here, there is no dragon slaying skill, so it is naturally useless." If God could give me a place to show my skills, hehe, I would catch fish, but I wouldn't even use a knife. ”

Ye Xiaotian laughed, lifted the fish to climb the mountain, and said in a rambling voice: "Little brother, have you ever read a book?" That's what I was born to be useful! ”

The boy did not answer, but at last a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled and waded into the stream. Ye Xiaotian walked up the mountain road, walked more than ten steps and suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked, and saw that the young man was holding a torch, which was already more than 20 steps away from him.

Ye Xiaotian asked loudly: "Hey, little brother, what's your name!" ”

"Hua Yunfei!"

In the distance, the young man's voice came, Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly, and said to himself: "Hua Yunfei, it's really a good name." But...... It's better than my name. If you can fly again, can you still fly out of the sky? ”

There are temples and no monks sweeping the floor,

Incense is more candles and less moon lights.

A rather poetic temple couplet has been completely hidden in the night, and the moonlight only makes it glow with a faint trace.

There are no monks in the temple, and there are no candles. But the moonlight was not cold enough to brighten up the temple, so a bonfire was lit inside. Shui Wu sat cross-legged by the fire, one hand propped up on his thigh, holding his pink cheeks, looking thoughtful.

Le Yao lay on her lap and seemed to be asleep. The red firelight reflected Shui Wu's cheeks, like a seductive piece of red jade. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shui Wu Huo Ran raised his head, and when he saw Ye Xiaotian, his eyes showed joy.

It was getting late at this time, but Shui Wu did not go to the temple to look, she sat there quietly like a little woman waiting for her late husband. The ups and downs of this journey, sharing weal and sorrow, have already made her completely trust Ye Xiaotian, and she is never worried that Ye Xiaotian will abandon her.

"Yaoyao, come up, Brother Xiaotian is back. Far ...... away"

Shui Wu glanced at Ye Xiaotian happily, patted Le Yao's buttocks, and called her up.

Yaoyao was woken up, and before he could see Ye Xiaotian clearly, he shouted: "Brother Xiaotian, you're back." ”

Ye Xiaotian walked in with the fish and the palm of his clothes, and said with a smile: "Hmm! Brother Xiaotian is back, Yaoyao is almost hungry, come on, let's eat fish. ”

"Wow!" Yaoyao saw the fat fish in Ye Xiaotian's hand clearly, her eyes widened, revealing a salivating look, her two eyes widened, staring at those fish, it seemed that she couldn't wait to pounce on them and bite them twice.

Shui Wu couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face when he saw the woman's clothes in the crook of Ye Xiaotian's arm, but now was obviously not the time to ask the bottom of it. Everyone was indeed hungry, she meekly took the fish and said to Ye Xiaotian: "I'll go to the stream to clean up." ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "The black light is blind, what is there to clean up, just wear it with a stick, put it on the fire and roast it, and when the fish is cooked, the scales will fall off." ”

Ye Xiaotian said, sat down by the fire, and suddenly felt that something was missing in his heart, he glanced around, and then realized that Fuwa'er was gone. Ye Xiaotian said strangely: "What about Fuwa'er? It can't be because you're hungry and you run away by yourself, right? ”

Before Shui Wu could speak, Yao Yao had already preemptively reported: "Brother Xiaotian, Fuwa'er has gone to catch mice." ”

Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Does this guy still eat mice? ”

Shui Wu chuckled, "So we don't know either." At noon today, Fuwa was walking around the yard, and we didn't pay attention, but now it has gnawed up the bark of the two cedar trees in the yard, and then ...... Now it's catching mice. ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "No wonder it is said that 'the people take food as the sky'." Look, I haven't eaten for a day, let alone people, even the bears are hungry like cats......"
