Chapter 3: Red Carp Sheds Tears, Princess of the Dragon Palace

Jiangzhou, located in the southern water town of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is rich in products, there are three seasons of rice a year, the yield is amazing, three thousand miles of Dongting Lake water, not only feeds the 200,000 people of Jiangzhou City, but also bears a quarter of the grain tax of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, is the veritable granary of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After all, it is a water town, and the most important thing is food and aquatic products. In Jiangzhou City, there are ten largest aquatic product markets, which are the most frequented places by the people.

There is a big bazaar in the city, and all aquatic products have a fixed chain of interests, and ordinary fishermen can't enter at all, so they can only go to the outside of the city to find a place to sell fish and shrimp at a scattered price.

Zhang Laosan is such an ordinary small fisherman, three generations have been fishermen, although poor, but the daily harvest of fish and shrimp is quite abundant, can barely feed a family of five, not starve to death on the streets.

"It's been three days, and I haven't caught any fish for three days, and the dragon king won't give me a way to live. ”

Anyway, I don't know what happened, in recent days, Jiangzhou City is very evil, for three days, no fisherman caught a fish, there are rumors that the fisherman hurt the real dragon, the dragon lord is angry.

"I haven't finished the fish I caught a few days ago, so if I take it to the market, I should be able to sell it for a good price." ”

Zhang Laosan was very happy in his heart, fortunately, there were many fish caught last time, and one of the fish was red all over his body, and his little daughter liked it very much, so he became the pet of his little daughter and can live until today.

"Oh nan, if it's not for my father's cruelty, our family has run out of food, if we don't go to the city to try our luck, we will starve to death. ”

During the special period, now he can't care about the prayers of his little daughter, he can only ruthlessly bring this fish with him, and walked a full three miles on foot, taking advantage of the fact that there is no fish in the city, he wants to sell it at a good price and buy some grain to support his family, they are just fishermen, there is no land, and there is no surplus grain at all, so they can only rely on the harvest of fishing in exchange for food, which is really hard.

"Sell fish, delicious live fish!"

Although he hadn't entered the city yet, Zhang Laosan knew that there were many villagers nearby, and it would be best if he could directly exchange live fish for rice grain here, so he couldn't help but shout.

"Hey, sell fish, and wait. ”

At this moment, a slightly anxious voice came, as if it was chasing something, as if it was not missing.

"It turned out to be Xiao Langjun, I don't know if Xiao Langjun wants to buy the old man's live fish, and it can be exchanged for rice and grain. ”

Zhang Laosan knew the young man in front of him, he was a famous scholar nearby, I heard that it was Wenqu Xingjun who went down to earth, and he was going to be the champion in the future, he was a great nobleman, and he didn't dare to offend.

If the people from Qingxi Township were here, they would find that the young scholar in front of them was none other than Ye Luo, who had just woken up.

"Live fish?"

Ye Luo's eyes lit up, "I've stopped three fish sellers, none of them are the people I'm looking for." ”

"Looks like this is the person......"

With a plan in his heart, Ye Luo raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Laosan's bamboo basket.

Two bamboo baskets, fat belly and small mouths, are full of drainage, no leakage, to prevent fish from dying of thirst and not being able to sell at a good price, this is the usual method used by fishermen.

"Finally found ......"

Ye Luo saw at a glance that there were only three fish swimming in it, and one of them was red all over, without the slightest variegation, shining under his eyes, so beautiful that it took away Ye Luo's gaze at once.

It is a red carp, about four fingers wide, weighing about a catty, the body surface is red, flowing with water waves, very strange, a pair of humanized eyes, revealing a desperate look of sadness and pain, which makes people can't help but feel a little pity when they see it.

"Xiao Langjun, look at it, these are all red and fresh fish, not those stinky dead fish, just suitable for people like you to eat, fish eyes can be bright, eat these fish, Xiao Langjun will definitely be able to get the top prize." ”

Seeing that Ye Luo was interested in buying, Zhang Laosan was excited, and kept saying flattering words, he knew that these readers liked to listen to these things the most, and maybe they would give him more money.

"Look at how beautiful this red fish looks, if it weren't for the lack of food at home, I would never have been able to sell it. As if to increase his persuasiveness, Zhang Laosan lifted the red fish that Ye Luo had been watching and handed it to Ye Luo's eyes, so that he could see clearly.

The red fish that was picked up at random not only did not struggle desperately like other fish, but remained motionless, docile as a domestic cat, looking at Ye Luo with blank eyes, revealing a rare spirituality, as if he had thoughts.

With the mist in the eyes flashing, drops of clear water flowed out of the eyes.

This red carp is actually crying!

If it were someone else, you would have to be scared out of the disease.

"Uncle, I don't know how much this fish sells?"

Deliberately putting on a literary appearance, Ye Luo opened his mouth and asked, he didn't want Zhang Laosan to see anything, and deliberately pretended not to understand the world.

"Geometry?price?oh, it's price. "I didn't understand Ye Luo's words for a while, Zhang Laosan was embarrassed, this is a natural respect for readers," this ...... A piece of sanmon. ”

"Or a meter or two of noodles, old man, I will sell all these fish to Xiao Langjun. ”

After saying these words, Zhang Laosan collapsed in an instant like a deflated ball, looking at Ye Luo with blank eyes, as if waiting for the trial. Sweating profusely, this was the first time in his life that he had spoken face-to-face with a scholar, and he was nervous in his heart, but he was worthy of being a Wenqu star, not comparable to ordinary people like him.

One or two rice grains and three fish, this is the usual price, and now when there is no fish in the city, Zhang Laosan is at a loss.

"Good. Without any hesitation, Ye Luo took out a string of copper coins from his pocket, "This is twenty wen, I want all these three fish and bamboo baskets." ”

Ignoring Zhang Laosan, who was stunned and hadn't reacted yet, Ye Luo put the money in Zhang Laosan's hand, took the bamboo basket, and left by himself.

walked calmly and awe-inspiringly, like Lei Feng who did good deeds without leaving a name, but no one knew that Ye Luo's heart was happy at this moment, if he didn't care about his image, he would have to look up to the sky and laugh a few times.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Luo came to a nearby river, which is a branch of the moat of Jiangzhou City, and it is said that this river has spirituality and can lead directly to the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake.

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, the earth has the thickness of loads, I, Ye Luo, read the books of sages, and I should release my life. ”

Ye Luo did not use these fish to satisfy his appetite as Zhang Laosan imagined, but walked to the river, took out these fish one by one, and put them into the river, which was about to be released.

"Boom. ”

The fish that got into the water threw out one wave after another, and immediately rushed to escape, as if they were afraid that Ye Luo would regret it at any time.

"Isn't it ......?"

Just when Ye Luo sighed and thought that he had misread again, another sound of rushing water came out, and there was a jet of water on the surface of the river as if there was a fountain.

Between the water waves, as if the stars were holding the moon, a crimson carp appeared in Ye Luo's field of vision, only to see it stand up, its pelvic fins raised, closed together, facing Ye Luo, nodding respectfully, as if it was saluting like Ye Luo, closing and closing its mouth, constantly highlighting the blisters, as if saying words to thank Ye Luo for saving his life.

After worshipping, the red carp sank into the water and swam a foot away, when it suddenly stopped and continued to repeat the salutation to Ye Luo.

This cycle was repeated three times for a total of three times, and the red carp swung its tail, threw out a beautiful splash, and completely disappeared from Ye Luo's sight, as if it was not a carp in the water, but a well-informed girl who was thanking her benefactor.

"Dongting Longjun loves his daughter Ao and listens to his heart. ”

Sure enough, it's you!

In a trance, Ye Luo remembered that in his previous life, there was a killing god who was hated by everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty, claiming to be a fisherman, who was not highly cultivated, but he was brutal and murderous, and he had been involved in several shocking killings in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A person whose cultivation is not high, but he is arrogant, can do whatever he wants is because of the support of Dongting Longjun behind him.

Legend has it that this person once accidentally caught the beloved daughter of Dongting Longjun, who was hunted down by the enemy, and brought her home to raise her. Later, after killing all the enemies, Dongting Longjun searched for the dragon girl but couldn't, and he was furious for a while, so that the fishermen in Jiangzhou's three thousand miles of water could not catch fish.

As a fisherman, Zhang Laosan naturally suffered from it, and had to take the fish left before to Jiangzhou City to sell, wanting to exchange for some food. But he didn't expect that rumors spread in Jiangzhou City, and no one dared to eat fish, and they were all afraid that they would evil Long Jun and cause disaster.

Zhang Laosan, who wanted to sell fish, naturally got nothing, and on the way back, he only felt that there was no hope of survival, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water with the fish, and wanted to die, but he didn't expect to be blessed by misfortune, and released the dragon girl Ao Tingxin, and became the dragon girl's life-saving benefactor.

So with the help of the Dongting Dragon Palace, Zhang Laosan naturally became a martial arts cultivator and became a notorious villain, who had opposed Ye Luo more than once, making Ye Luo hate it so much, but because of the power of the Dongting Dragon Monarch, he couldn't help him.

Now that Ye Luo has been reborn, he naturally will not let go of this opportunity. According to the rumored time, he was waiting for Zhang Laosan on the way into the city early, wanting to snatch his opportunity this time and gain the favor of Dongting Dragon Palace. And it can be regarded as revenge for Zhang Laosan's previous life against him.

A killing god who will roll up a monstrous wave in the future has been nipped in the bud like this.

"Take your opportunity today to avenge the great revenge of the previous life, Zhang Laosan, today you and I have clear cause and effect. ”

Looking at the direction in which the dragon girl swam, Ye Luo secretly said in his heart that he did not have the heart to kill Zhang Laosan, who had not yet become a villain.

However, Zhang Laosan, who was robbed of the opportunity, can only be an ordinary person forever, and he will never have a chance to make waves again. If Zhang Laosan knew that he had lost such an opportunity, he would have to vomit blood in anger, which would make him uncomfortable than killing him.

"Is Dongting Longjun's favor......"

Now that you have been reborn, of course, you must use all the resources you can use to strengthen yourself, better protect your relatives, and make up for the regrets of your previous life.
