Chapter 387: The Vine That Leads the Fish
"I know that a lot of inexplicable vines have popped up on the riverbank recently, but they haven't grown much, so I don't particularly care." Murong Lin looked at the snake-like vines that seemed to be hovering together in the distance, and he was almost speechless in surprise.
"Besides, some people will come over and cut down the vines and go home to dry them to make firewood, which can also play a certain role in prevention, but I didn't expect it to grow so crazy today, and the speed is a little scary."
Such a strange scene made people puzzled, and Murong Lin really couldn't hold back, and thought about it in the direction of some conspiracies.
"Could it be that the old man took us up the mountain and took down this kind of tree just to make a disturbance in the vines in the domain?"
Feng Xiaoyue listened, but shook her head lightly, "It shouldn't be, even if he has such a plan, as long as he ignores this big problem, it will be enough to exhaust us." The growth of this vine looks amazing, but as long as the pattern is found, it is still easy to reconcile. ”
"Don't tell the people of the city about today's events for a while, lest they cause panic." Feng Xiaoyue said and turned her head to look at the old horse, and the old horse understood it in her heart and nodded. Feng Xiaoyue retracted her gaze and put her hand in the crook of Murong Lin's arm.
"While it's still raining and no one is going out, after going back for a while, you only discuss it with Zhang Fengyu, and when the rain stops, quickly dispose of all the extra vines, and we'll take a look at the rest."
Murong Lin understood what Feng Xiaoyue's arrangement meant, although he didn't agree with it a little, but for the time being, he could only decide like this, but his lover had just finalized the plan, and suddenly he heard a series of fluttering sounds coming from the river.
Hearing the sound, it turned out to be small fry that had only grown in the river in the last few months, and I don't know what stimulated them, perhaps in order to adapt to the happy atmosphere of today's rain, one by one, as if they were dying, they jumped out of the river suddenly.
If it is just a simple carp jumping over the dragon gate, the key is that these fish jump in the air, inevitably collide with each other, and a large part of the small fry fall into the mud pit where the diving is spreading.
The small fry are too small, and I am afraid that the organs are not fully developed. Falling into this mud puddle, like a loach, instantly makes people invisible and unable to catch it.
Feng Xiaoyue deeply felt that the situation was not good, the purpose of the excavation of this boundary mountain and river was not only to solve the problem of water for the people who ploughed the land, but its associated effect could greatly improve the lives of the people in the domain.
Not to mention how many merchants can be facilitated by the transportation of waterways, and the aquatic products in this water, what small fish and shrimp are caught, can not only promote the trade of aquatic products in the areas on both sides of the strait.
Among them, the protein of fish and shrimp can also greatly improve the physical fitness of the people in the domain, so that some people who do not have land can have another way to live.
But now, if all these fish are stranded in the mud puddle on the shore for unknown reasons, it will be too wasteful, and it will delay the rapid growth of the domain.
Murong Lin also saw that this situation might not be normal, and after exchanging a look with Feng Xiaoyue, they both saw the same thoughts from the other party's eyes. Murong Lin was relieved, so he opened the oil-paper umbrella and led Feng Xiaoyue all the way to the river.
It's just that the old horse was anxious when he saw it, and he bought himself and pressed it on his head, and followed behind. "Lord Shizi, Princess Shizi, these fish have to jump up by themselves, there may be other reasons, and we can't go against this providence."
"Besides, don't you two already have an idea? Can't you just do what you just meant? It's so dangerous by the river, it's raining again, the road is slippery, and it's easy for you to fall down if you're so close. If you make a mistake, how should I explain it to the palace. ”
"When it comes to the livelihood of the people of the domain, how can I make such a hasty decision. Is it just for your own safety to put the lives of so many people at risk? ”
Murong Lin said, suddenly stopped, it happened that at this time, the old horse failed to stand, and was almost slipped by a puddle of soft mud under his feet, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the person.
"I know you mean well, but if this person is alive, if he is afraid of danger, he will not be able to grow so big. We'll be careful ourselves, but you're old now, so be careful not to fall. Otherwise, I'm afraid we don't know how to go back. ”
What Lao Ma said to Murong Lin couldn't be refuted, and listening to a joke behind him, it was funny and embarrassed, so he had to pat his thigh in annoyance, followed behind them resignedly, and carefully guarded him.
When we reached the river, the banks of this company were covered with small saplings and wild vines, and the land was relatively strong, but safer than the fields.
However, Feng Xiaoyue knew that her physical fitness was not very good, and she didn't plan to be strong, when she should snuggle up to Murong Lin, she still had to learn to rely on it, so as not to solve the problem, but to put herself on it.
Murong Lin held Feng Xiaoyue's waist with one hand, watched her step on the tree, stood firm, and then asked her to grab her belt, so that with one hand, he could tear off a section of the vine that was rolled on the sapling.
The vines on the trunk of the tree were still very immature, the tender green leaves, looking very fresh, Murong Lin only folded this small section, and his fingertips were dyed with a puddle of green juice.
Feng Xiaoyue supported the small sapling with one hand, and with the support of this trunk, her body stood more stable, but this action really startled Murong Lin, and she hurriedly threw the vine away and pulled her back.
"You don't get too close to these trees, don't look at them and think they're growing well, they really feel strong. They can step on you, but you can't, so it's better to stay away. ”
As soon as the words landed, the small fish churning in the river seemed to want to show their existence, and immediately a fatal one hit Feng Xiaoyue's feet.
Although Feng Xiaoyue was not frightened by such a small fish, the small fish fell to the ground, and the splashed muddy water directly hit the place on the knee of her skirt.
Fang Cai walked all the way, and the skirt was already stained with enough mud, and Feng Xiaoyue didn't say anything. After all, it's a complete place, and it's easier to clean, so it's a big deal to cut that part.
But now that it's hit in a high place, it's not so easy to wash it off, especially if it's wet, it's easier for people to ignore it, so Feng Xiaoyue, who has a slight cleanliness habit, finds it so unbearable.
"Look, there are still these little fish attacking from time to time, do you think you should listen to me?" Murong Lin said, seeing Feng Xiaoyue's mixed expression, he couldn't hold back a little smile in his heart, and symbolically patted her.
"Yes, I was negligent." Feng Xiaoyue pursed her lips, nodded helplessly, tilted her chin again, and suddenly saw so many vines under her feet that she vaguely felt very familiar.
At the same time, Murong Lin noticed that Feng Xiaoyue's gaze seemed to be looking at the small piece of vine that he had just lost. He looked around with his eyes open, and naturally it was impossible to pick it up again, so he folded another one and brought it over.
"I know you're very good at these flowers and plants, could it be that this vine can also arouse your interest?"
Murong Lin handed over the tree vine, Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help but have a faint smile on her face, she reached out to take it, and by the way, she twisted the tree vine on her fingertips and shook it gently while her broken hair was wet by the rain.
"I'm not interested, it's just that it looks very familiar, do you remember that I lived on Luofeng Mountain for a while?"
"This is the vine on the mountain?" Murong Lin thought about it, and remembered that when he and Feng Xiaoyue followed Shu Lao to go up the Wind Mountain together, he inadvertently paid attention to the bottom of the mountain, and in that black canyon, there seemed to be a lot of green vines coiled on the mountain wall.
"Well, I'm just like you, I only think that those vines grow from their own roots, who would have thought that they were actually brought from these trees." Feng Xiaoyue nodded. "Besides, I think I can understand why these fish are so crazy."
"You know in the mountains, if the hunters don't want to eat the flesh of the animals, they will go to the springs to fish, and they will use these young vine teeth as bait, and they will try everything."
As soon as these words came out, Murong Lin didn't speak for a long time with his mouth open, and he looked very unbelievable. "Aren't you kidding me, aren't all fish baited with loaches and bloodworms and some soft stuff, and I've never heard of anyone catching a fish with leaves."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. It seems that this kind of leaf has a special aroma in it, and it is most likely to attract fish in the spring water that comes down from the mountain. ”
Feng Xiaoyue didn't rush to corroborate with Murong Lin, she only took the vine in her hand and tentatively stretched it out to the bank of the river. "If you don't believe me, let's try it and see if any fish will bite the sprouts on this vine."
"Okay." Murong Lin agreed, and at the same time, he didn't forget to hold Feng Xiaoyue's waist in his hands. He only thought that Feng Xiaoyue was joking with himself on a whim, it was rare to be so naughty, but he didn't want her to fall into the river after letting go in order to prove that she was right.
This kind of behavior can be regarded as a love affair between Murong Lin and his wife, but he was stunned by the old horse who was waiting on the side, and he didn't understand the significance of what they were doing.
Just when the old horse was puzzled, suddenly the highest fish jumped on the water and bit on the leaf.
