Chapter 5 Flying Birds
During the days in Ningfu, Steward Feng would take Mo Hansheng to Hantan every day to catch fish, and he got something every time.
Steward Feng was very satisfied with this, so he did not arrange for him to do other chores, and the reward would be issued in time.
Mo Hansheng would wrap the reward money he got in cloth and go home in person every few days, and then rush back to Ning Mansion overnight.
On the one hand, it is to hand over the silver to the family, and on the other hand, it is also to pay attention to the condition of the mother.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and her mother's body has been fine, but every time Mo Hansheng leaves, she will always stand outside the fence and look at the entrance of the village, and she will stand for more than half an hour.
As for the main owner who loves to eat fish, Uncle Ningfu, he has always lived in a shallow way, and he has never shown up once.
During this period of time, Mo Hansheng had seen Steward Feng the most and Ning Dan Ninger, who often followed him, followed by the pink-clothed girl, who had already heard her name from the yellow-clothed maid Xiao Ju.
Ningxi peach.
People live up to their name.
On this day, Ning Xitao practiced swords under the peach tree as usual, and Mo Hansheng squatted in the corner as usual to watch her practice swords.
From the mouth of the maid Xiaoju, Mo Hansheng learned about some trivial past events of Ning Xitao.
She does not love piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like ordinary ladies, but likes to dance with guns and sticks since she was a child, and yearns for a happy life in the rivers and lakes.
When he grew up, he tried to run away from home more times to wander the rivers and lakes, but he was naturally forcibly kidnapped back by Uncle Ningfu.
The wind rises in the courtyard and blows down a tree and flies flowers.
Ning Xitao jumped forward, turned around in the air, and the long sword pierced more than ten petals.
"Beautiful!" The maid Xiaoju walked to Ning Xitao's side and clapped her hands, "What a trick 'Snow Swallow Returns to the Nest', Miss is very powerful." ”
"Is it amazing?" Ning Xitao glanced at her and said suspiciously, "I hope you are not flattering me on the surface, but you are secretly sarcastic in your heart." ”
"No, how can I be sarcastic, Miss, for your fists and legs." Xiao Ju waved her hand again and again, and her face was full of expressions that were pierced through her heart.
"Huh?" Ning Xitao raised her eyebrows angrily, and she was about to clean her up with a fist.
"Look, miss, that kid is peeking at you again." Xiao Ju hurriedly led the water to the east, stretched out her hand and pointed to the corner of the yard.
Seeing that the two of them looked at each other, Mo Hansheng smiled bitterly and was about to speak, when Ning Da's voice suddenly came from outside the wall.
"Hansheng, it's time to go."
"Here we are."
Mo Hansheng hurriedly answered and walked out of the courtyard quickly.
"Hmph, that's pretty fast." Ning Xitao chuckled lightly and said, "I saw that you and that black charcoal boy had a good relationship these days, but I didn't expect to betray him so easily, it is really a natural little girl." ”
"It's just a few more words of love for a while, where can we talk about each other." Xiao Ju explained.
"I was so easy to be bribed by him with a few pastries, and even Lu Shaotang's matter was shaken out for me, right?"
"Miss, I was wrong, spare me this time."
"Dead girl, look at the sword!"

Sunset over the West Mountains.
Steward Feng's face was gloomy, as if he was in front of him, and Ning Daning Er, who came with him, stood aside obediently and did not dare to make a sound.
After a while, there was a wave of fluctuations on the water surface, and Mo Hansheng broke through the water and went ashore with difficulty with the support of Ning Dan and Ning Er.
Steward Feng looked at the empty fishing net in Mo Hansheng's hand, and his face became more and more ugly.
In three hours, more than 40 times of water was poured, and still nothing was found.
Mo Hansheng felt physically exhausted, took a few breaths, and staggered to Steward Feng.
"I can't hold it anymore, so I'll come back tomorrow."
Steward Feng glanced at him indifferently and said, "We must catch a fish today." ”
"After so many days of catching, there are not many fish in the water." Mo Hansheng hesitated for a moment and said, "If you catch it any longer, I'm afraid it will be extinct." ”
Steward Feng was expressionless, just repeating Fang Cai's words.
"We have to catch a fish today."
Mo Hansheng didn't speak, stared at him for a while, picked up the clothes on the ground and planned to leave.
The sound of the wind swept past his ears, and Mo Hansheng didn't have time to react, and a sharp pain came from his shoulder, and he almost fell to his knees.
Steward Feng's originally white and soft palm was now clasped around his shoulder like an eagle's claw, and he said word by word: "You must catch a fish today!" ”
The cold wind was strong, and everyone present felt a strong chill in the air.
The two men were silent.
Mo Hansheng's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Steward Feng for a moment, pulled the palm on his shoulder a little bit, took a deep breath, and then turned around and jumped into the water.
Mo Hansheng sank quickly, and he didn't feel any movement until he dived into a deep place, and fell into a dilemma.
It is really immeasurable how deep this cold pool is, if he goes too deep, he may not be able to hold out until he goes ashore, but if he goes up empty-handed like this, Steward Feng will not let him go easily.
In this environment, a moment's hesitation could be fatal, Mo Hansheng gritted his teeth and slammed down.
A huge suffocating water pressure hit Mo Hansheng's heart and lungs, and he endured the discomfort and finally dived to the bottom of the cold pool.
His eyes seemed to be squeezed out of their sockets by ferocious pressure, and he couldn't discern his direction for a while.
At this moment, a faint white light suddenly lit up.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Mo Hansheng inexplicably felt that it seemed to be calling him, he didn't care about it, and swam desperately along the way.
He reached out to grasp the light, and after a moment of fumbling around, his palm suddenly touched an unidentified object in the shape of a triangle.
Can't hold it!
Mo Hansheng struggled to pull the thing out, and struggled to swim before he had time to take a look.
————
After a long time, a miserable white palm protruded from the water without warning, and a black fishing net was dragged in the palm of the hand, and a large fish in the net was constantly beating.
Seeing this scene, Steward Feng was about to rise a trace of joy in his heart, but found that the arm was still floating quietly on the water, and the owner of the arm was still soaked in the water.
His heart sank, and he was about to step forward to check.
Before he could get closer, Mo Hansheng rushed out of the water with a "whoosh", his wet long hair half-covered his face, and his cold eyes faintly revealed from behind the messy hair, like a miserable water ghost.
Ning Dan Ning Er quickly stepped forward and pulled him ashore.
A smile finally bloomed on Steward Feng's cold face, and he said in a harmonious voice, "Good job." ”
Mo Hansheng ignored him, opened his mouth and spit out a ball of ice water, clenched his left fist, and picked up his shirt with his right hand and draped it on his body.
Steward Feng frowned and didn't pay much attention to it, and said "Let's go back" and took the lead alone.
Mo Hansheng pushed away Ning Da, who came over to support him, and stared coldly at Steward Feng's back, his eyes full of vigilance.
Although the deed of selling on that day was deliberately deceived by the sister-in-law, if it wasn't for the golden egg inadvertently exposed, Steward Feng and Ning Da were clearly ready to push the boat down the river, and now they don't care about their own life or death in order to catch fish.
This person is too dangerous, like a cold poisonous snake, usually inconspicuous, if there is a conflict, he will show his fangs mercilessly.
"Hansheng, don't take it too seriously." Ning Da was relieved when he saw that Mo Hansheng was angry in his heart, but when he turned his head, he saw that he was not going in the same direction as the others, and hurriedly shouted, "Hansheng, where are you going?" ”
"Go home." Mo Hansheng didn't look back when he heard this, and said coldly.
Before he could take a few steps, he felt a phantom flash in front of him, and then he saw that Steward Feng had stopped in front of him.
"Go back." Steward Feng said lightly.
"I'm not from Ningfu, so there's no need to listen to you." Mo Hansheng was shocked at first, and then looked at him coldly.
"If you leave now, you won't get the reward. Come back with me, settle the money and leave. A chill appeared on Steward Feng's calm face.
Mo Hansheng said calmly: "I don't want it." ”
The chill on Steward Feng's face was even worse, as if it was about to condense ice.
Mo Hansheng looked directly at the other party, without fear, he had to be tough enough not to be led by the other party.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Steward Feng suddenly smiled and turned sideways to get out of the way.
Mo Han clenched his left fist and strode forward, and at the moment when the two passed by, Steward Feng's fluttering words came from his ears:
"Don't regret it!"
Seeing that Mo Hansheng was about to go away, Ning Er leaned over to Ning Da and whispered, "Just let him go like this?" ”
"Stewardship has its own measure." Ning Da glanced at him and smiled.
When Mo Hansheng's back completely disappeared into the distance, Steward Feng raised his arm, and a canary with bright wings flew out of his sleeve, flapping his wings a few times and flying in the direction that Mo Hansheng left.
No one noticed the slight curvature of the corners of Steward Feng's mouth.
No one noticed that the cold pool, which had never frozen all year round, had quietly begun to condense in just a short period of time.
