Chapter Twenty-Four: Catching Fish in the Middle of the Night

Hehuan wanted to speak and stopped.

"You should say it quickly! Could it be that there is a ghost!" the young man urged.

"Hehe......" He Huan said with a smile: "What did the young official say? Where can there be ghosts? That is, the room where you live is relatively close to the door of the organ, and this door is crackling all day long, and the concubine is afraid of disturbing your rest, so she told you in advance." ”

"Organ Gate?" Shao Liang said, "Could it be that it is also one of the five gates on this Yin Xuan Mountain?"

He Huan nodded and said, "Yes, the master of the organ gate is Shi Feizi. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I remembered, this Yin Xuanshan will swim on its own, it is from the hand of this Shi Feizi, right?"

"Uh-huh, yes, young officer. ”

"That's kind of interesting. ”

As they spoke, the two came to a house with a single courtyard, which was located on the edge of the canyon, backed by a steep cliff, facing all the houses in the Valley of Love, condescending, and even had a sense of seclusion.

Shao Qi was quite satisfied, so he smiled unconsciously: "Not bad, this room is good!"

He Huan smiled and said, "If the young official likes it, then the concubine will retire first?"

"Go, go, go!"

Watching Hehuan twist his fat buttocks and sway away, Shao Liang stretched out and yawned.

Pushing the door in, the empty room, although the furnishings are simpler than Liu Hanxian's room, but compared to their own tailor shop, it is still relatively luxurious.

Suddenly quieted down, Shao Liang was still a little unaccustomed, the sky outside the window had darkened, a bright moon had hung high on the top of the mountain, the bright moonlight was like a cold blade, cutting Shao Liang's heart at the moment, for the emotion of this trip, Shao Liang didn't want to say much, but for the past, Shao Liang was thinking, maybe he really couldn't go back.

After lighting the oil lamp next to the bed, Shao Liang lay down on the wooden bed peacefully, but he didn't feel sleepy, remembering what sound Hehuan had said about the back mountain, at this time Shao Liang was a little curious, but after a while, the sound did not wait, but waited for the knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Young official, the concubine is here to bring you dinner. A crisp woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, good!"

Shao Liang got up and opened the door, and saw a plain-looking, but clever and lovely woman, waiting quietly with a meal.

"Thank you. The young man took the meal, and the woman bowed down and saluted, then turned and left.

Shao Liang didn't think much about it, turned around and went back to the house, put the food on the wooden table, and studied it carefully, there were two small dishes on the wooden plate, a bowl of rice, and a pot of unopened wine.

"There is wine, Lao Liu still has a heart!" Shao Liang suddenly came to the feeling, opened the wine seal, and drank half a pot in one go.

"Tut-tut, what wine!"

Shao Liang tasted the wine, forgetting for a while that he was in a different place, but he really learned to be at peace when he came.

After three rounds of drinking, Shao Liang's cheeks flushed, but he didn't feel sleepy, just at this time, there was a sound in the back mountain, it was a series of crackling sounds, vaguely, it seemed that someone was talking, but the distance should not be close, and I couldn't hear what was said.

Driven by curiosity, Shao Liang immediately stood up, opened the door, turned around and walked towards the depths of the cliff, until he came to the side of the cliff, there was no way out, Shao Liang stopped, by the moonlight, Shao Liang saw that at this time under the cliff, there was a gurgling river, and on the bank of the river, you could see someone walking, and the voice of talking should come from the mouth of that person.

Shao Liang wanted to go down the cliff and go to the small river to see what was going on, but thinking of Hehuan's persuasion, Shao Liang became entangled again, after all, he was not familiar with life, if he was according to Liu Hanxian's words, if something happened, he would not be able to save his life, with this melancholy, Shao Liang stagnated on the edge of the cliff, in a dilemma.

But the man under the cliff was still going on with his own business, and he didn't notice Shao Liang's overlook at it at all, Shao Liang squinted his eyes, and the man seemed to be catching fish in the river, but judging from the person's behavior, it was a little different, because the man had no harpoon in his hand, let alone a fish hook, how could he say that he was catching fish? However, from the reflection of the moonlight, Shao Liang could clearly see that the fish with white bellies were eagerly jumping to the man's side, what was the situation? Shao Liang became more and more curious.

Finally, Shao Yu shook his head magnificently and said, "No matter, who can trap Lao Tzu?"

As soon as the words fell, Shao Liang looked for a hanging ladder that went straight up and down, and slowly moved towards the bottom of the cliff.

About half an hour later, Shao Liang appeared on the bank of the river, in order to find out who the other party was, Shao Liang chose to hide himself first, so Shao Liang found a stranded rock, and hid behind the rock, paying attention to the person's every move.

At first, Shao Liang was a little unimpressed, thinking that the other party was also a disciple of the five sects of Yin Xuan Mountain, and he had nothing to do to catch fish to improve his food, but after Shao Liang observed for a while, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.

I saw that this person's height was not very high, and he was even a little hunchbacked, his fluffy hair looked a little messy, and a few gray-black whiskers were irregularly born on his chin, which looked a little funny, but this person had a pair of eagle eyes and wolf eyes, especially when he was staring at the river, those eyes seemed to contain a thousand worlds.

What shocked Shao Liang was that this person was indeed catching fish, but instead of relying on harpoons or hooks, he was using some irregular small stones, only to see that he first put the stones in the gurgling river, and then posed for some strange patterns, with the flow of the river, as long as there are fish, those fish will take the initiative to drill into the stone patterns that have been placed, and the surprise is that the fish will not swim away after entering, but take the initiative to jump to the feet of this person, waiting for this person to harvest.

"There are such miracles in the world?" Shao Qi secretly admired in his heart, and then remembered that when he was young in Nanyaozhou, if he wanted to catch fish, it could be said that he had to work hard, not only to use harpoons and hooks together, but also to be very serious, and then look at the person in front of him, it is not a level at all.

As more and more fish jumped ashore, the man seemed to feel the same, so he said to himself: "Okay, okay, it's enough for today, fish, how about you satisfy the old man's hunger today, and build a temple for you another day?"

As he spoke, the man fell into the river again, raised his foot and kicked over the stones that had been laid out earlier, so that the passing fish would no longer linger, but swim away freely.

The man returned to the shore again, set up a grill, lit a fire, and prepared to barbecue the fish that took the initiative to send to the door, but during this period, Shao Liang finally regained some self-confidence, that is, on the basis of comparing his own barbecue skills with the other party, the half-grown old man in front of him seemed to not know how to barbecue at all, and his clumsiness was very funny. When I remembered that when I was in Nanyaozhou, I often took Zhao Er and Xiaoliu to catch fish and barbecue outside the city, the taste, the technique, I still think of it, and I can't help but smash my mouth.

Finally, driven by curiosity and competitiveness, Shao Qi stood up straightforwardly and jumped towards the half-grown old man.

"Hey, little old man, you can't do this! You didn't come here to barbecue like this! You are simply ruining the fish, you talk about you, just come out in the middle of the night to steal food, the key is that you don't have this craft at all, why do you learn to catch fish and roast it to eat!"

Faced with Shao Liang's sudden fall from the sky, the man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile and said, "Haha, little old man, if you say that, you are a master in this area?"

"Little old man, hey, hey, who are you calling the little old man?"

The man pointed to the young man's white hair and said, "It's true that the old man is a little old man, but you have white hair, aren't you also a little old man?"

"Cut!" Shao Yu waved his hand and said: "That's it, whatever you say, let's get down to business, in this way, I'll help you barbecue, let's divide the fish and meat equally, how about it?"

The man frowned and thought for a while, "If you can make it delicious, the old man will promise you." ”

"That's natural!" said in a swaggering voice, "and! you...... You'll have to teach me how to catch fish!"

The old man was stunned, but it was fleeting, and then he replied, "You want to learn how to catch fish from the old man? You have been peeking over there for a long time, haven't you? But do you know who the old man is? Besides, who are you?"

Shao Liang immediately said impatiently: "Oh, little old man, tell me about you, why are you so stingy? I just told you to teach me how to catch fish, you have so many questions, if you don't want to teach, just say it, and ask so many useless questions!"

The half-grown old man smiled ghostly and said, "How can it be useless to ask?" Well, since you don't know who the old man is, then you can tell the old man who you are, right?

Shao Liang thought for a while, and then waved his hand generously: "It's okay, what if I tell you? I'm from the Orchid Gate among the five gates on this Yin Xuan Mountain, besides, even if the matter is revealed, it's your little old man who is secretly catching fish, and it has nothing to do with me!"

"Orchid Gate?" the half-old man frowned and said, "But aren't all female protégés in this Orchid Gate except for Liu Hanxian?"

"Cut, you little old man, what do people are willing to take men and women to do with you?" Shao Qi said impatiently: "Let's get to the point, if I help you bake this fish, would you like to teach me how to catch fish like you?" ......
