The mist on the river surface is shrouded, like a beautiful woman's face covered with a scarf, hazy, as if it is not invited, it seems to be present, it is amusing and confusing.

Jin Wansheng saw that Zhao Ada arrived earlier than them, so he said with some reluctance; "Big brother, I've kept you waiting, I'll give you a bowl of wine in a while."

Zhao Adaa said; "You've all had breakfast, I'm still hungry."

Jin Wansheng said; "I haven't eaten anything, I'll bring dry food and wine and food on the boat, and we'll get to the edge of the reeds in a while, and we'll eat enough before we beat the reeds."

The three friends rowed three small boats, on the river in the early morning, through the mist, breathing the fresh air on the river, facing the clouds that rose faintly from the water, listening to the sound of the river in their ears, looking at the splashing waves on the river from time to time, hoping that the fish could fly out of the waves, and then fall into the boat they rowed, but, thinking about it, among their three good friends, only Jin Wansheng had this situation, and the other two had never encountered it.

They rowed to the reeds on the edge of Jiangxin Island, first dragged the boat to the island, tied the cables, each picked up two dry food, and after eating a few bites, they came to a spring and drank enough water, and then officially began to cut the reeds.

The reeds on the edge of the isolated island grew thick and tall, three people picked up the woodcutter, and worked all morning, one person cut a dozen bundles of reeds, and at noon, three people sat on the bundled reeds, bathed in the sunshine in the sky, blowing the river breeze, drank a jar of old wine, and there was no food left, after the wine and food were full, the three people lay on the very wet reeds and squinted their eyes and took a nap.

The three of them didn't straighten up all morning to catch their breath, and they drank a lot of wine, so they just closed their eyes and fell asleep.

For a moment, the three people were already snoring like thunder, at this moment, from the depths of the island crawled out of a blue and white python, a foot long, the head was as big as a dog, staring at two deep eyes, the mouth kept spitting out the letter, as if looking for information ahead, suddenly, there was a smell that it was very interested in attracting it, and I saw that the blue and white python had crawled silently to the side of the three people between breaths, it first circled around the three people, and then leaned out of the letter above everyone's head and sniffed, Then it came to the feet of the three of them and sniffed, and finally, it came to the bundle of reeds under Jin Wansheng's body, and began to twist its body, which is strange to say, I saw that in the process of twisting the body of this blue and white python, the huge body was getting smaller little by little, and finally shrunk to only half the thickness of the reed pole, less than half a foot long, and then it picked the thickest reed and drilled into it.

An hour later, Zhao Ada woke up first, he looked up at the sun in the sky, felt that it should be around the time, and woke up Jin Wansheng and Zhang Youwang, who were still asleep, the three of them turned over from the reeds, came to the edge of the spring, drank enough water, and then went into the reeds to cut the reeds, until the sun was in the west, the three people began to load the ship, after an hour, three small boats full of reeds, from the reeds on the edge of the isolated island in the middle of the river back to the home of Jin Wansheng in Zhangwan Village, and waited until they unloaded the reeds, He also dried the reeds in the courtyard of Jin Wansheng's house, and the sky was already dark.

Jin Wansheng looked at the sky and said to Zhao Adaa and Zhang Youwang; "Two brothers, while it's not too late, let's row a boat to the market to drink, and it's still too late."

It turned out that the bazaar was less than three miles away from Zhangwan Village, and if the three of them caught too much fish on weekdays and sold them at a high price, they would meet up to go to the bazaar to drink, so as soon as Jin Wansheng's words of proposing to go to the bazaar to drink fell, Zhao Ada and Zhang Youwang immediately agreed; "Great, I didn't drink all the fun at noon, and I can find it in the evening."

The three of them rowed Jin Wansheng's boat and took advantage of the excitement to the market, Jin Wansheng in order to avoid the entanglement of the shopkeeper in the tavern last time, proposed to go to a newly opened tavern called Jiang Zhongyue, and still asked for a plate of fennel beans and a plate of dried tofu, and asked for two catties of boiled beef, the shopkeeper shouted and put two pots of old wine in front of each of them, and did not wait for the beef to come up, when the shopkeeper brought a plate of fennel beans and a plate of dried tofu, the three of them invariably picked up the wine jug, and tilted their necks, They drank the wine from the jug in their hands cleanly, and then put the flask down, grabbed the fennel beans with their hands, and chewed them with taste.

About just after the end of the day, the three of them felt that they had drunk all the fun, so Jin Wansheng paid the bill, and the three of them rowed back to Zhangwan Village in a small boat, according to the old way, Zhang Youwang returned to his home, and Zhao Adaa slept directly in Jin Wansheng's house.

Zhao Ada's snoring as soon as he lay down, disturbing Jin Wansheng's eyes, he had to turn over and sit up, at this time, he listened to the sound of the bamboo shed, Jin Wansheng then remembered that he hadn't looked at the little peach tree and the four flowers today, so he got off the bed and walked into the yard, first stared at the drying reeds, and then came to the bamboo shed.

As soon as Jin Wansheng walked into the bamboo shed, he saw that the little peach tree was shaking constantly, and the swishing sound was made by it. Seeing this scene, Jin Wansheng's feelings changed, and he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, after the cold sweat, the three points of wine and seven points of fatigue had already been thrown out of the clouds, and he saw him squatting down, stroking the poor little peach tree with his hand, and kept talking in his mouth; "Little peach tree, don't be afraid, with me born here, I see who dares to do anything to you."

Speaking of this, Jin Wansheng simply sat down, and held the trunk of the little peach tree tightly with his hand, at this time, Jin Wansheng found that the shaking of the little peach tree became slight, and after a while, it was not shaking at all, Jin Wansheng then remembered to see what the four flowers were, just when he stared at it, he found that the four flowers had grown to be more than two feet tall for some reason, and somehow, the branches of those flowers had been connected together, densely turned, as if a fence had been built with flower branches, It was only later that Jin realized that these four seemingly weak flowers were obviously trying to build a barrier around the little peach tree to protect the little peach tree.

Jin Wansheng looked around again, and didn't find anything abnormal, the big water urn that often had incredible scenes, still stayed quietly on the edge of the bamboo shed, Jin Wansheng saw that the little peach tree in his hand was no longer shaking, so he let go of his hand, he thought of the water urn to see if something abnormal happened, he was still thinking about the two koi in his heart, and he was also thinking about whether his brother-in-law could appear in the world.

However, at the moment when he let go of his hand, he found that the little peach tree shook again, and then the four flower trees that had been connected by flower branches suddenly grew countless branches, intertwined with each other, this scene made Jin Wansheng very surprised, he knew that there must be a danger to happen, so he squatted down again, and saw that the flower branches were entangled with him and the little peach tree.

Jin Wansheng's hand tightly grasped the trunk of the small peach tree again, and he also tensed his muscles because of nervousness, as if he was ready to fight at any time, and it was only then that he remembered that when he came back at night, he put the woodcutter on the edge of the water urn, in order to strengthen his courage, maybe to fight, in short, Jin Wansheng subconsciously looked for his own woodcutter.

Just when Jin Wansheng was anxiously looking for a woodcutter with his eyes, he found that the woodcutter was wrapped by a slender peach branch somehow, Jin Wansheng wanted to reach out and take the machete, but for some reason he just moved his hand forward, and the machete was wrapped around his branch and moved, which obviously didn't want Jin Wansheng to be vivid with the machete, Jin Wansheng understood the intention of the peach tree, so he no longer took the woodcutter, but asked the little peach tree; "What's wrong with you, why are you in this position?"

There was no sound of answer in the dark, and after a while, suddenly there was a sound of booing, Jin Wansheng suddenly smelled a fishy smell, this smell surprised him a lot, so he opened his eyes wide, and tried to look outside through the flower branches, he couldn't see anything in the dark, but felt that the fishy smell was getting closer and closer to him and his little peach tree.

What kind of smell is this, although Jin Wansheng couldn't see anything in the dark, but he didn't stop thinking, and gradually in the fishy smell, wrapped in a trace of crawling quiet, which made Jin Wansheng suddenly think that this smell was the smell of the water snake he encountered in the river, and several times he caught a water snake with the thickness of his arm in his fishing net, whenever he encountered this situation, he could accurately grasp the seven inches of the snake, and then shook it suddenly, shaking the water snake away and shaking it to death, Then put it back into the river and let it be turned into fish food to feed the fish.

Could it be that a water snake or something like poison wants to harm this peach tree and flowers, thinking of this, Jin Wansheng suddenly lost his nervousness, and he was quickly ready to catch snakes, at this time, a very unpleasant fishy smell reached Jin Wansheng's nostrils again, Jin Wansheng knew that the poison was coming, and it was not far from him.

It's too late, it's fast, before Jin Wansheng can see what is going on, he saw the peach tree branch wrapped in a woodcutter, dancing without wind, and the entangled flower branches spread out a gap, suddenly, I saw that the long peach tree branch was like a waving long whip, suddenly raised, Jin Wansheng looked along the branch, and saw that the branch was just wrapped around the handle of the woodcutter, and the branch was waving the woodcutter.
