Chapter II

Zhang San'er didn't care about the strangeness of the fishing boat, this time it was close, he was dizzy by the dead fish, until it was far away, it was better, he lived and sorted out the fishing net, and the fishing net was full of it, and the net was really good-looking, but when he was full of hope, he didn't even see half a fish in the net, fortunately, he seemed to have expected such a result, and still tirelessly cast more than a dozen nets one after another, and the result of each net was the same, more than a dozen nets came down, his mouth was panting wildly, and sweat beads were rolling on his handsome face. I haven't eaten for many days, and who suffers from the benefits of physical wear.

He sowed a net and a net, and devoted all his energy to the net. He didn't notice that the boat was swaying slowly in the wind. It's as if there's no weight. It's weird...... Zhang San'er was frustrated, scolded 'Damn' and cheered up again, casting the net again and again. Helplessly, Lihuahe is like a little daughter-in-law who has been stripped naked today, sleek and naked. He was busy for a long time, but he didn't catch a single fish.

Tired enough, Zhang San'er sat on the boat to rest, motionless looking at the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky, the white expanse in front of him, and the lightning-like scenes of his mother Liu's work appeared in his mind, and he was sad for a while. As the saying goes, 'the children of the poor are in charge of the house early', and Zhang San'er came out to help her mother with household chores and fish in the river when she was six or seven years old. Everything is done in a good way. Everyone who saw it said that the Liu family was blessed to have such a filial and sensible son.

"Filial piety and sensibility." Zhang San'er smiled bitterly, if you were like me since you were a child, you would probably be more capable than me. The thought turned to this, and the body seemed to be full of strength. After resting, you should continue to cast your net and fish.

"God, if you have eyes, give us poor a way to live; Dad, you are only free in the sky, my mother and I are about to die, why don't you come to save us. Zhang San'er felt bitter and resentful in his heart, and unconsciously spoke up. Lifted the fishing net and made a gesture to scatter it......

"Little brother, God can't scold you casually......" A voice sounded in Zhang San'er's ears, he couldn't distinguish between men and women, and he didn't know where it came from.

Also, on this snowy day, he rowed alone in the middle of the river, how could anyone talk to him in his ear, Zhang San'er shook his head. He stopped his hand and continued to look at the sky blankly, letting the snowflakes fall quietly on him.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you, do you want to catch a fish?" After Zhang San'er relaxed, someone suddenly spoke in his ear. "Want to ......"

This time it was very real, and it was definitely not misheard. After answering, Zhang San'er jumped up in shock, and the fishing boat was shaken several times. Hurriedly stabilized the boat, and swept his eyes around, the boat was still floating in the middle of the river, but where was the person who spoke? The voice is so real, it must not be that I heard it wrong.

"Who the hell are you, stop kidding, come out and talk." Zhang San'er still thinks that someone is playing tricks on him, he has been messing around on the Lihua River since he was a child, and he is not very afraid except for being surprised at first.

"Hee-hee, good-looking little brother, are you sure you want me to come out?" This time I heard it really, the voice actually came from mid-air, ethereal without a trace, but it was extremely clear, as if he was chatting with Zhang San'er. It was clearly transmitted into Zhang San'er's ears.

"Who are you, don't play it, okay, people will be scared to death?" Although the sky was already dark, there was still no one on the river, so Zhang San'er felt that something was wrong. Courageously yelled.

"Hee, hee, hee....... the voice suddenly looked like a naughty girl." Your voice is too loud and scares me, so you won't come out, and you'll look at me anyway. The voice was in tune, ignoring men and women, surrounding Zhang San'er's head. It made every pore of him explode. Zhang San'er looked left and right, but couldn't find out where the voice came from. Many strange folk legends poured in, and large drops of sweat dripped down their heads.

"Little brother, don't be afraid, hehe, tell me, what's your name?" The voice was crisp and loud, but Zhang San'er was covered in cold sweat when he heard it. The courage was gone, and he replied involuntarily: "I... My name is Zhang San'er, and I used to live in Lihua Village by the river."

"Oh, the little third brother of Lihua Village, on such a cold day, why did you come out to fish alone?" The voice seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang San'er's answer, and became gentle, gentle as if to soothe his nervous heart, Zhang San'er was full of distress, forgot all about the strangeness in front of him, wiped the sweat on his head, and explained the reason why he came to fish clearly.

"Hey...... The voice sighed. After pondering for a long time, he asked, "Little third brother, do you want to catch a lot of fish?" ”

"Of course I think about it, if I catch a fish, I can buy medicine for my mother to see a doctor."

"Little third brother, you go straight forward and row a hundred meters to cast a net." As soon as Zhang San'er heard that he could catch a fish, he cheered up in disbelief and cast the net according to the position that the voice had to command.

The net was cast, Zhang San'er didn't take it seriously, and after the net went down, he looked at the river and began to collect the net. How do you know that when he mentions the net, he feels different, and his heart suddenly has hope, and the hand that closes the net trembles slightly, this weight is obviously the weight of a lot of fish.

The fishing net was slowly pulled up, and when it was pulled onto the boat, Zhang San'er was stunned by the red light, and there was a net full of red carp. It is estimated that there are at least thirty or fifty. The harvest of this net made Zhang San'er smile. At that time, there was no such thing as fish farming, and the fishermen had never seen this kind of harvest in their original fishing and hunting, and red carp was very rare. If the fish are sold, they can barely survive the winter. Zhang San'er was overjoyed.

"Little third brother, are you happy?" The voice asked suddenly.

"Happy, why are you not happy, you are amazing. It is estimated that even the most powerful master will not be able to catch so many carp in one net. Thank you, thank you, you can find such a secret carp nest" Zhang San'er's thanks came from the heart, extremely sincere.

"Then do you want to get out of the net again?" That person seemed to be infected by Zhang San'er's happiness, and became very tempting. It's like an old pervert with a lollipop who is seducing a little girl.

"Can I do it again? Of course I did. Tell me, where to sprinkle? The excitement of the harvest made Zhang San'er completely forget his fear. The people who don't know where they seem so close.

"Then I'll help you catch a net of fish, and I'll go home with you, okay?"

Zhang San'er heard that he could sprinkle the fish again, and said without thinking: "If you can let me sprinkle the fish again, you can go home with me." He only noticed that the front was once again sprinkled with fish, but he did not notice the sentence behind him.

Cast the net again according to the instructions of the voice, but I didn't expect that this net would be full again, Zhang San'er didn't wake up from a big dream until this time, and the two nets were too much. The mysterious man who instructed him to fish has not been seen until now......

Zhang San'er was too worried, and the voice never sounded again, Zhang San'er scratched his head for a long time, thinking that he had gotten rid of the entanglement of the voice. Wiping the cold sweat on his head, he wanted to go back quickly, but he had no intention of taking a look at the shore. Hey? No, why does the shore seem to be familiar with the Ewha River. Settle down, and determine your position again, it's broken, it's really not the Pear Blossom River that you are familiar with.

There are many more people on the riverbank than in Ewha Village. The houses are also much larger than Ewha Village. This isn't the Ewha River at all.

When he encountered a ghost, Zhang San'er's heart was cold, and he tried to scream a few times with a trembling voice, but the voice never sounded again. Zhang San'er let out a sigh of relief, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed, such a mysterious person, it would be better to leave.

Zhang San'er was very sure in his heart, in this short period of time, he would definitely not leave the Pear Blossom River too far. At this time, it should be the first way to sell the carp on the boat, and it is true to help the old lady see a doctor, Zhang San'er made up his mind and slowly brought the boat to the shore.

Zhang San'er just arrived on the riverbank, raised his feet and went ashore, a figure ran from a distance on the river beach, wiping tears with his hands while running, and rushed straight into the river. When Zhang San'er was about to jump into the river, he stopped his waist and hugged him, and the man kept crying and saying, "What are you doing to save me, you let me die, let me die." The voice was a young woman.

It's really a young woman, looking fifteen or sixteen years old. Seeing that there was a girl of the same age as herself in her arms, Zhang San'er panicked and subconsciously let go of her hand, and the girl fell to the ground. He sat on the ground and wept bitterly. Keep saying "let me die, let me die......"

At that time, the society was still a feudal society, and it was important to pay attention to whether men and women were close to each other, although Zhang San'er was a wild child who grew up in the village, but he had no chance to communicate with the girl.

"You...... What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you, why do you want to die at a young age? "The girl just cried, which slowly turned into sobs. Zhang San'er finally opened his mouth to ask.

"My father and mother are dead, and there is no one left at home...... "The girl said that she had come to life, and she cried loudly again with grief and indignation. Zhang San'er felt pity and was a hard-working girl.

"My name is Zhang San'er, and I am sixteen years old this year (the sixteen said by the children in the township is a virtual age, it may be fifteen or fourteen years old) is from Lihua Village, Qingzhou Prefecture...... "Zhang San'er really explained himself." Xiaohua, which village are you from, why haven't I seen you? ”

"My family lives in Zhengzhou Fucheng and is fifteen years old this year."

"Zhengzhou Mansion City, why did you come to Qingzhou Mansion to seek death?" The distance between Zhengzhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion is in Zhang San'er's mind, and I am afraid that it is not thousands of miles away.

"Qingzhou Mansion? No, this is the city of Zhengzhou, I came here from home, but it was only half an hour. ”
