Chapter 132: The Baby Fish
The hostess wanted to tell me a story, and of course I listened to it. The boss and the proprietress have always treated me well, although I am a Maoshan warlock, but the monsters and ghosts and zombies are different, the spirits and humans interact, as long as they are not vicious, not only will not be harmful to people, but will be beneficial.
People are divided into good people and bad people, and demons are divided into good and bad demons, as long as the boss lady has no intention of harming people.
"When I met Lao Gan, he was only twenty years old at the time, and I had already cultivated into human form."
The first sentence of the proprietress dispelled the idea that the proprietress was grateful because the boss had saved the proprietress and promised her.
Next, the proprietress carefully told her the whole process of interacting with the boss, and when she said it, she had a happy smile on her face.
The boss's name is Gan Lijun, in the old society, joining the army was more valued than taking the university entrance examination, and the boss's parents hoped that their son could win glory for the country when he grew up, so they took such a name.
Who knows, after the boss was born, his physical condition was not good, and at that time the civil war had stopped, but the people's living standards had not been greatly improved, and they still belonged to the stage of collective society.
In order to improve his life, the boss of the poor family began his career at the age of fourteen with the help of his parents.
The boss was relatively weak, and he became a carpenter master to learn carpentry, and after learning to barely leave the school after the age of seventeen, he began his journey of part-time work. Three years of development have improved the domestic consumption level to a certain extent, and the first wave of part-time jobs has begun to come.
When the boss went out, his parents gave him ten yuan, and he took the carpenter's tools with him and began his part-time career.
Ten yuan, for today, the fare from the countryside to the county seat may not be enough, but at that time, eggs were a penny, and one dollar could buy a large piece of pork, and the price was so low.
When the boss went out, he took his tools with him, as well as his ambitions!
A child from the countryside, the greatest quality lies in hard-working and thrifty, the boss from the moment he went out, estimated that like me, he wants to lay down a piece of his own country in the big city, not seeking to leave a name for eternity, but to return to his hometown.
At the age of nineteen, the boss moved to a thousand-year-old town - Shibao Town (Shibao Town is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, now part of Zhongxian County, Chongqing).
Shibao Town is the most famous is Shibaozhai, at that time coincided with the renovation of Shibaozhai, the boss with a warm blood, joined the renovation team, Shibaozhai is a tourist attraction, although the scale is not large, but there are a lot of highlights, one of the most popular is a thousand-year-old fish in Shibaozhai, where is the ancient fish, called the baby fish.
The baby fish is named because of its similar appearance to the appearance of the doll.
When the proprietress said this, I smiled slightly, didn't I say that the proprietress was a carp essence? Could it be the baby fish essence?
However, then, the proprietress expressed my doubts, in order to increase the highlights, so in the fish pond out of the placement of some baby fish and small shrimp, but the owner of the village may have forgotten a fact, baby fish... It is a carnivore.
Moreover, the illusion of carp growth is not the same as that of the carp, which is a freshwater fish, but it is a deep-water fish, and the baby fish is a diving fish.
At that time, there were a lot of fish in the fish pond, carp, grass carp, crucian carp, etc., and it has to be said that after putting more fish in it, the pond looked very impressive.
After putting a large number of fish and shrimp in the fish pond, in broad daylight, the baby fish is chasing a large group of fish and shrimp swimming in the pond, after the tourists see it, they all feel funny, although the owner of the village also found his mistake, but I have to say, this can indeed attract more tourists to come, so not only did not stop the fish, but increased the intensity of the fish.
The boss works as a carpenter in Shibaozhai, so naturally he has seen a lot of baby fish, and even paid out of his own pocket to buy bait and throw it to the baby fish.
This renovation work lasted for a whole year, and when the renovation was almost over, it happened to be the boss's twentieth birthday, and the boss was in a good mood, so he bought a lot of bait and came to the doll pool.
When I heard this, I knew at the time that the proprietress was either a baby fish in the pool or a carp in the pool, but I was wrong!
The proprietress is not a baby fish, nor is it a carp in the pool, but a real half-human and half-immortal, the reason why it is called a half-immortal is because the proprietress at that time should only be cultivating the human body, and there is no big ability, but there are barely some little demon methods, so it can be called 'half-immortal'.
Immortal is just an honorific title, in fact, there are no immortals in the world, and immortals are just mythologies.
The proprietress went to Shibaozhai to play and saw the baby fish in the pool, and she was angry at this time, because the whole pool was very clean, almost crystal clear, and the water was not very deep, she could clearly see that the baby fish was chasing a carp.
It was also a carp, of course the proprietress was unwilling, and hurriedly jumped into the water to rescue, and the boss at that time finished feeding the food, just about to leave, saw someone jumping into the water, hurriedly ran over, and rescued the proprietress.
Some people may ask, since the proprietress is half human and half immortal? Can the boss be saved? I also asked at the time, but the proprietress said that there were many people nearby at that time, and it was inconvenient for her to cast spells, for fear of hurting others.
After the proprietress got up, she was naturally unwilling, not only did she not be grateful to the boss, but she counted the boss down. And the boss was young and vigorous, so he quarreled with the boss.
Quarreling and arguing, others also joined in the dissuasion, and pointed out that the proprietress was unreasonable, and the proprietress was a little embarrassed for a while, so she said: "Do you think that you are very happy to see that vicious fish chasing a weak fish?" Is there no pity at all? ”
"This is a world of the weak and the strong, people are like this, fish are like this, and countries are like this!" The boss spoke.
Of course, the proprietress was stunned when she heard this, but then said: "Since it is the law of the jungle, should you humans stand in the perspective of God and look at the cannibalism of fish like a good show?" This is what you humans call forgiveness to others and self-interest? Hoeing the strong and helping the weak? ”
The boss didn't say anything at the time, and the proprietress jumped into the pool again in a huff, and really saved the carp and released it in the Yangtze River.
However, when the proprietress did not expect it, after wandering to Mianxian County, she met the boss again, and the boss at that time worked in a furniture factory with his own craftsmanship, and the two met unexpectedly again.
At this time, they can be said to be enemies who are very red when they meet!
Originally, it was okay to ignore each other, but the boss at that time was over twenty-five years old, helpless, and the fighting spirit that had just gone out was almost polished by life, plus he had just fallen out of love and was in a bad mood, so he took the initiative to find the boss lady, and the two of them drank while talking back, and while drinking, the boss drank high!
"I remember when you released that carp, in fact, you were not saving it, but harming it!"
The boss used alcohol to tell the proprietress a fact!
It turned out that the carp had been living in the pond for a full year, and in the past year, the carp and the baby fish had to fight so many times almost every day, and the boss felt that the carp was definitely not the opponent of the baby fish, so he brought bait every day, and when the baby fish was full, the carp would be safe.
Within a year, it was enough for the carp to get used to life there, and even the keeper would prepare a portion for the carp when preparing the bait, in other words, the two fish had to work several times a day after they were full.
Fish and people are actually similar, it is always good to have an opponent, and the purpose of the long-term war, so that the two sides are fighting, is more about the situation, as for the result, I am afraid I don't care much about it.
For more than a year, I believe that the baby fish has long given up the plan to eat the carp, and just uses the carp as a sparring partner every day.
And the proprietress rescued the carp and released it, which not only put the carp into a greater crisis, after all, there are many kinds of aquatic goods in the Yangtze River, and compared with the single natural enemy of the baby fish, the carp may have more natural enemies.
Moreover, carp have lived in the pond for so long and have long been accustomed to the water in the pond, and may not be able to adapt to the water in the Yangtze River.
And the proprietress indiscriminately released the carp self-righteously, but in fact, not only was it not released, but it was killed.
When I heard this, I asked the proprietress at the time, "Aren't you a carp spirit?" Didn't you even ask the carp what it was saying? ”
The proprietress replied that she was angry at the time, and she could take care of so much there, so she didn't bother to ask and did it.
Because of this incident, the boss's impression of the boss has changed greatly, and then, the estrangement between the two has been eliminated, and they have become acquainted with each other, the boss has no water and is not happy, and she has to drink a large basin of water almost every day, and the boss's greetings mainly revolve around 'drinking water' to care for the boss.
After getting along for a long time, it is inevitable that they will fall in love for a long time, and they tried their best to have all the processes that ordinary couples should have, and talked about a marathon love that lasted for seven years.
During this period, the boss had proposed to the boss more than once, but the boss lady knew that the ladyboy had different paths, so she refused every time, until one time, Mian County encountered a major drought, at that time, the whole Hebei was in a drought, the water source was extremely scarce, and the boss lady had no water to drink, and she was sick at that time.
In order to cure the boss's wife, the boss carried the boss lady through thousands of miles, almost crossing the entire Hebei region, everything has the opportunity to get water, the boss did not hesitate to buy it, and even robbed it. When it really didn't work, the boss cut off his own arm and made the boss suck blood and thirst.
This walk, from Hebei to Guangdong, Guangdong is a seaside city, the water source is naturally sufficient, the proprietress got a full supply of water, and her body got better.
People, animals, and demons all have hearts, and if they have hearts, they will be moved.
Just because of this time, the proprietress spun around and promised to marry the boss, the boss at that time was ecstatic, penniless he did not choose to take the proprietress to live in Guangdong, but took the proprietress back to Shibao Town.
This time, it took several months to walk from the coastal area to the Yangtze River, and then to the source of the river!
I think it was very likely that the boss was short of money and couldn't afford to sit in the car, after all, men would carry everything by themselves, and the proprietress liked to drink water, and there was no shortage of water when she walked by the river.
However, the proprietress is a woman, she doesn't think so much, her heart is full of emotion.
After they arrived in Shibao Town, they held a small wedding, on top of the wedding, the proprietress drank water, the boss drank, there was no food, no food, and even the wine was stolen by the boss.
This so-called naked marriage, the place where it was held was Shibaozhai, Shibaozhai at that time was actually not very famous, except for those foreign tour groups, others did not charge admission fees (now 30 yuan per person).
The scene of the wedding is next to the baby fish pond.
The proprietress sighed and said lightly: "There is indeed a baby fish in the pool, but it is not the same baby fish as before!" ”
"What about the old one?" I asked hurriedly.
The proprietress was full of sadness, "There are two theories from the people there, the first one is: less than a month after the carp was released by me, the baby fish went on a hunger strike and died!" The second theory is that less than a month after the carp was released by me, the baby fish disappeared and is said to have jumped into the Yangtze River. ”
"After getting married, Lao Gan said, 'I will never be allowed to suffer in the future, let alone have no water to drink', he took me back to Mianxian County, worked in the former factory to earn money, because my cooking skills are very good, so he took me, with the funds in hand, opened this restaurant for the elderly." The proprietress continued.
I nodded, and breathed a long sigh of relief, the true love of freedom in the world, whether it was the proprietress or the boss, or the baby fish and carp.
"Does the boss know you're a carp spirit?" I asked.
