------------------------

After the four knights left, Xu Zheng was really bored, and he couldn't find anything to do, but the servants of this Samus Castle were very polite and formal, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he was depressed for a while. Looking up and seeing that it was still early, he put behind what Agasi had told him not to wander around, led Lulu out of the reception hall quietly, stepped on Lulu, and flew quietly out of the castle with one man and one beast.

Swept out of the city wall low, Xu Zheng descended, firstly, he didn't want to alarm the guards guarding the castle, and secondly, he also wanted to take a good look at this majestic castle.

Xu Zheng led Lulu and walked slowly along the castle wall, savoring the different customs of the Imperial City of Samus, and unconsciously walked farther and farther, and had bypassed the part where the military elements were quite strong, and came to the part of the lake that was built by the water and suspended on the surface of the lake.

In the distance, he saw a person fishing by the lake, dressed but not a guard of Samuel, Xu Zheng was overjoyed and led Lulu over.

When I got closer, I saw an old man, sitting there with a fishing rod that looked like a bone but not a bone, a branch but not a branch, his eyes seemed to be closed, and his expression was very leisurely. Seeing Xu Zheng coming, the old man only looked up for a moment, and then returned his attention to his fishing rod.

After only glancing at the old man, Xu Zheng already felt that although the old man was dressed ordinarily, as if he was wearing cloth clothes to make it more comfortable, he was very noble and had the momentum of a person who had been in the top position for a long time. Since this man can go in and out freely, he can fish in the royal city of Samus. has an extraordinary temperament, and his identity must be either rich or expensive. But there was no guard around him, and he was dressed so peacefully, Xu Zheng really couldn't guess what the old man's identity was, and when he led Lulu to nearly ten meters in front of the old man, he hesitated, not knowing whether to go over or not.

Originally, I was just happy to see someone who was not a guard, and I thought that someone could talk to someone and share the excitement of seeing this ancient castle. But seeing that this old man felt that it was not ordinary, Xu Zheng thought about it. After that, he still didn't want to alarm him, and led Lulu to turn around and change directions to leave.

"What's the matter? I'm leaving?" the old man raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng turned around, scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are fishing so seriously, I am really embarrassed to disturb you." ”

The old man smiled slightly and said, "It's because I can't tell what my identity is." Don't you dare to come up and talk to me, do you?"

Xu Zheng smiled and said frankly to the old man: "Yes." This is the Imperial City of Samus, but it is not the lower city I am used to, and I still know the truth of being cautious in words and deeds. I don't know your exact identity, but I can see that your identity is extraordinary, and I really don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. If you can, please allow me to retire. ”

The old man was stunned. This is the first time that he has seen through his identity as either rich or noble, but he does not come to flatter. And his demeanor and expression are calm and natural, not pretentious, pretending to be high, and he is paranoid to trample all the power under his feet, but he is as light as a breeze and has a stubborn attitude, and his demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant. Generous and casual, such a desireless and rigid response is also the first time I have seen it. I was immediately interested in this young man, and I groaned for a while, and said, "I am accompanied by a wind-based winged tiger, and it has a special appearance of black hair, black eyes and black eyebrows, if I guess correctly." You're Xu Zheng?"

Xu Zheng stopped. Nod. "Who are you?"

The old man put down the rod and smiled slyly. The old man had a childlike expression on his face, and said, "I won't tell you! or ...... Guess?"

Xu Zheng suddenly froze in anger, turned around and left.

As soon as he raised his feet, he saw the old man behind him and said in a long voice: "Hey, people now, they are really ruthless and unjust, leaving me a lonely old man here and ignoring them." Hey, it's really cold."

Xu Zheng paused, and then walked again.

The old man said: "Alas, people are old, but they are not willing to talk with me, everyone thinks I am trembling, they think I talk too much, I just want to find someone to talk to, but no one will pay attention to me." Finally, a person appeared in front of me, but he ignored me, an old man, when I was a useless waste wood, I was old, and the evening scene was so bleak. Hmph, now the young man has his eyes on the top of his head, and he doesn't know how to talk to the old man. ”

The voice was like a cry, as if there was such a thing.

Xu Zheng was immediately annoyed, Huo turned back and said, "Yes, I see that you are very leisurely and comfortable, and you are worried that no one will talk to you, who will believe it?"

The old man pulled up the fishing rod, looked at the empty hook, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "It's boring, you can see it, I've been fishing here all afternoon, and I haven't caught anything." He beckoned to Xu Zheng and said with a smile: "Young man, come and talk to me for a while." ”

The smile on his face was the same as that of an old fox, Xu Zheng was alarmed in his heart, and said vigilantly: "What do you say? I am just an ordinary citizen in Xiacheng District, I have always had no ambitions, I just want to be a happy idler, what national affairs do you want to talk to me about, or what lofty words, sorry, I am not very interested." ”

The old man snorted and said, "Come on." With the titles of Magical Boy, Star of the Imperial Capital, and Dark Gold Beast Envoy, you still want to be an ordinary person, so you can slowly become whimsical. ”

Xu Zheng was annoyed by what he said, and he turned around and wanted to leave again.

The old man hurriedly said: "Hey, young man, why are you so angry, come, accompany me to fish and gossip." Hey, don't go, do you have to work my old bones to chase you?"

The dead old man who is entangled...... Xu Zheng turned around stupidly, walked to the old man and sat down, patted the ground beside him, and let Lu Lu sit down, and said, "What do you say?"

The old man rolled his eyes, revealing an expression of an old naughty boy who was completely inappropriate for his age, and said, "Why don't you teach me how about fishing?"

Xu Zheng looked at the fishing rod in the old man's hand. "Who made this thing for you?"

The old man said: "Someone else sent the ground, it turned out to be a weapon, but I am an old bone."

Go, of course, for fishing. ”

Xu Zheng couldn't stand it and said: "I don't really know much about fishing, but I also know that if you want to fish, it will definitely not work without a pair of fishing rods." As for the broken thing in your hand, it's okay to kill fish, and fishing is free. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. ”

The last sentence was said by Xu Zheng in Chinese. The old man was stunned. What does it mean to be busy. Xu Zheng explained, and the old man repeatedly tasted the meaning, and suddenly laughed in a low voice, and said: "Incisive! Quite incisive! The name of the Star of the Imperial Capital is indeed worthy of its name." Come, boy, tell me how to sharpen your tools. ”

I talked to the old man for a while. I think this old man is quite funny. Xu Zheng is a Ma Daha character, after feeling that this old man is very calculating, his vigilance suddenly disappeared, and his eccentric style came out, and he smiled at the moment, and he was no longer hypocritical with this old man, and said directly: "You close your eyes." ”

"What?"

"Shut it up, please. What's the matter? You're afraid I'll assassinate you in the back?"

"Cut! I'm also a saint-level swordsman, so I'll kill if I say I'll kill you?" the old man feigned anger, but still closed his eyes.

"Holy level, you just blow it! With your virtue that can be blown down by the wind, you are still at the holy level. If you're a saint-level, I'm a young sword god!" Xu Zheng laughed, taking advantage of the old man's eyes to close his eyes, and took out a few things from his personal space.

"Alright. Open. ”

The old man opened his eyes and saw that Xu Zheng had a few more things in his hand. Surprised: "Where did you get it?" Looking Xu Zheng up and down suspiciously, he couldn't detect the slightest trace of magic fluctuations, nor could he see the existence of magic props, and he was even more surprised: "There is no space magic, and there are no space magic props, where are you hiding this thing?"

Xu Zheng smiled whimsily, and also learned from the old man's long voice: "Where is it hidden, I won't tell you!"

The old man was stunned. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, good! It's really quick to get retribution. It's coming right away. You tell me, what are these things. Always, right?"

Xu Zheng smiled happily and said, "This is the most convenient fishing tool." Bruce, do you know you?"

The old man was taken aback and said, "You call him by his name?"

Xu Zheng shrugged: "I still call him by his nickname Blue like his younger brothers and sisters." What's the big deal, it's just a prince. Maris, God of War, I still call him an old man. ”

The old man was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, interesting! Interesting! Aren't you afraid that the god of war will be condemned?"

Xu Zheng said nonchalantly: "Maris, his old man is busy, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to me, a little person." He's a big god, and he has so much trouble all day long, this little bit of sesame mung bean size, if you change it, do you care about it?"

The old man was stunned again, and then burst into laughter. Xu Zheng was startled, and hurriedly went to pat him on the back.

After laughing, the old man stared at him for a while, and only after a while did he say, "You young man is really weird." ”

Eccentric? Xu Zheng secretly thought, this is called eccentric? It's just that the concept of equality of all beings is deeply rooted in his heart, and the concept of rank and class is relatively weak, which is not strange.

Thinking in his heart, he picked up the few things in his hand and said with a smile: "Since you know Bruce, it's easy to say." Today is his grandfather's birthday, and this bastard has to let me make a fool of myself and show it as an exhibit. I can't come empty-handed, and ask people about it, and say that old Rex Samuel likes to fish when he has nothing to do, but his fishing skills are very bad, so I made these few things to honor his old man, and by the way, I scolded him, and issued my resident card quickly. I heard that the old man was very strange, and I, a commoner, couldn't come up with anything good, so I had to make something uncommon to coax him. ”

Listening to Xu Zheng's words, the old man showed a strange expression, angry and funny, an expression that wanted to attack but forcibly held back, and said, "How do you know, that old ...... That's what Rex likes. ”

Xu Zheng Dale: "I heard Ajiaxi say that his fishing skills are terrible, but he likes to fish very much, if he sees this thing, he will definitely like it!"

"Oh?" the old man squinted his eyes and said, "I also like fishing, and my skills are terrible, so why don't I like that thing of yours?"

Xu Zheng laughed: "Whahahaha! It turns out that you are as bad as you." You deserve not to catch fish in the afternoon! Come, old man, I like you, and I'll give you a pair, and you'll know what they're good for. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the things in his hand and explained the same.

First, a small stool, connected by two X-shaped brackets, is propped up. The lower four points of force are firmly supported on the ground, and there is a solid cloth made of ground tension on the top, which is just right for sitting. Then take out two brackets and install them on it, like two flagpoles to support the flag. After putting it together, it looks like a small chair that can be sat on and rested on. The old man looked at this thing and found that it was not only lightweight, but also easy to take apart and carry. When using the land, it is easy and lightweight, it is very good, and it is really a favorite of anglers. I took the small chair, sat and tried it, and then leaned on it and tried again, and it felt quite comfortable. The old man couldn't help but be full of praise.

Then there was a fishing rod, the old man didn't recognize it as a fishing rod first, but saw that Xu Zheng had a cylinder with a dense silver pattern in his hand. When Xu Zheng took this cylinder and shook it into the wind, the whole cylinder was immediately thrown out, and many knots stretched out from it, one section after another, stretching forward from thick to thin, and it was nearly four meters long when it was fully extended. That's when it really comes into being. The old man was surprised to find that the whole picture of this cylindrical thing was a tenacious fishing rod.

The old man took the fishing rod and was praising its toughness and elasticity, as well as its advantages of being light and not tiring and easy to carry, when he saw Xu Zheng hit a small box.

This small box is completely different from the kind of gondola that common fishermen see, it looks small and lightweight, and the volume is not large. Wait for Xu Zheng to open it. The old man found that there was another mystery in it. It turned out to be layered, and it can also be pushed and pulled. It has a total of five floors. You can open the lid and push it away from the center line to both sides, revealing a row of square boxes inside.

The old man looked at it, and saw that there were all kinds of fish fishing, bait, fishing line, and fish feed neatly stacked inside, and the bottom few squares were empty, as if they were used as backups, and there were a few things The old man couldn't recognize what they were.

Xu Zheng pointed to one of them and explained: "This is fluorite, it can shine at night, many fish like light, with this thing, it is also very interesting to fish at night." ”

The old man looked at a few things repeatedly, and he looked like he couldn't put it down. He asked, "These strange things can be made, and you really deserve to be called a magical boy! Well, it seems that you are also very good at fishing?"

Xu Zheng touched the back of his head awkwardly and smiled dryly: "Hey, hey, I'm sorry, I know a lot about fishing, but I haven't fished yet, and I can't fish." I'll do these things, but let me sit quietly by the lake and fish...... Come on, that's worse than killing me. ”

The old man looked at Xu Zheng in a daze for a long time, then began to laugh again, and said, "You young man is just interesting." I like it! Haha! Come on, let's try these things to work. ”

Xu Zheng nodded yes, and went to dig earthworms with Lulu happily. For this man and beast, digging earthworms is obviously much more interesting than fishing.

The earthworm dug up, and a quirky boy and an old urchin sat on the shore fishing with a smile.

After a while, I don't know if I really want to do a good job, I must first sharpen the truth to play a role, or if the luck of the old and the young and the beast is too good, and the fish drift really moves.

Xu Zheng saw it first, and immediately couldn't help but cry out in shock. The old man was also quite excited, holding the fishing rod and throwing it violently, but saw that the fish had been dragged away from the water, but because of the lack of experience in carrying out the fish with too much force, he broke off the hook and fell back into the water. The old and the young looked at each other, and they all beat their chests for a while, saying that it was a pity, and then they laughed in unison. Lulu felt this joyful atmosphere on the side, and also jumped around with the girl, chased Xu Zheng for a while, and ran to the forest to toss.

Xu Zheng laughed and said, "***, bullying us won't fish, come again!"

The old man smiled and nodded, re-installed the bait and put it into the water again.

Xu Zheng bit a grass stalk, lay down beside the old man, looked at the old man with a side face, and said, "You say, will old Rex like this gift? He's a king, I've never seen anything, I don't think he will be able to look at these things." ”

The old man stared at the fish float on the surface of the water, and unconsciously continued: "I like it very much!"

Xu Zheng spit out the grass stalks, pulled out the roots and stuffed them into his mouth, and said, "I didn't ask you ...... again."

The old man smiled slyly, "I bet he will like it! There is no better birthday present than this! And you are so flattering as the giver of gifts." ”

Xu Zheng stretched his face: "Don't coax me, these things are a novelty at most, but they are not valuable." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Whether it is valuable or not depends on the heart of the person who gave it and whether it can bring joy to people, and the valuable things are not necessarily pleasing to people, and the invaluable things are not necessarily unpleasant." I just love this!"

Xu Zheng was about to speak, when the old man shouted, "Ha!

"Really?" Xu Zheng jumped up suddenly, but saw the old man lift the rod suddenly, and a silver-white fish dragged out of the water and smashed straight towards the shore.

"Ahh

"Very useful!" said the old man with a smile, and ran over to see his prey.

When he heard the cry, he flew out of the woods, threw himself on the ground, stretched out his nose and sniffed at the fish, and when he saw the fish fluttering on the ground, he quickly stretched out his foot and stepped on it, and stretched out his nose to smell it. After smelling it for a long time, he couldn't smell the aroma that Xu Zheng had cooked by himself, so he snorted and walked away disappointed. It's just that this fish has trampled a live fish into a dead fish after it stepped on it like this......

When Lulu walked away, the rest of the old and young stared at the dead fish on the ground, all of them were stupid for a while. After looking at it for a long time, the old man burst out laughing and said, "Your Warcraft is really ......."

Xu Zheng also smiled: "Yes." It's too much of a toss. ”

Both of them laughed, and the sun near dusk cast on the two of them, sprinkling a warm circle of light, and a harmonious and joyful atmosphere enveloped the old and the young under the aperture, like two silhouettes in an oil painting painted with the scenery of Tian Yuan.

I accompanied the old man to fish for a while, and the old man and the young were really laymen in fishing, and there was no gain. Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was not early, Xu Zheng said with some reluctance: "I'm going back." There was a dinner party at Samuel Castle in the evening, and it was not okay not to go. Let's go back together. I don't know if Lulu can ride two people. ”

The old man shook his head and smiled, "You go back first." I'll fish for a while, and someone will pick me up later. ”

Xu Zheng nodded, jumped on Lulu, walked a few steps, and turned his head again: "Can I see you again in the future?"

The old man squeezed his eyes at Xu Zheng, and showed that sly smile again: "Trust me, we will see you again soon." And...... I guess you'll be annoyed when you see me in the future. ”

Annoying? This old man is quite likable. Xu Zheng nodded, flew into the air with a pout, and shouted, "Goodbye, old man!"

The old man's hand shook, and he scolded angrily and funny: "Get out, stinky boy!"

Xu Zheng rode Lulu and laughed in mid-air, flying farther and farther away, towards the location of the reception hall.
