After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn~

The Qianling River runs through the main beam, and there are many tributaries, and after passing the Gangneung Mansion, the water potential has also slowed down.

There are often boats chasing the river on the river, there are ferries that go out of the waterway, flat boats that fishermen fish, flower boats that large families play, and water boats used for water transportation...

All kinds of things, but they don't have anything to do with each other...

An old ferry boat ripples along the river.

Xu Boqing was half-nestled in the bow of the boat, with a hat made of bamboo strips on his head, an empty fishing basket beside him, and a yellowed fishing rod in his hand.

Perhaps because the fish in the river were too difficult to catch, he still held his cheek with his other hand on the deck, squinting, and napping...

At some point, there was an extra fishing boat on the river.

At the bow of the boat stood a few pelicans with their heads tilted to observe the surface of the river, and after finding the fish, the pelicans jumped into the water, and soon surfaced with a tender and lively big fish in their mouths, and held their heads high in front of their owners.

It looks like a normal fishing boat, the only difference is that the owner of the boat is a middle-aged woman dressed modestly......

The fishing boat didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and slowly approached Xu Boqing's boat as it rippled on the river.

Wait close to a few feet.

The middle-aged woman on the fishing boat glanced at him, saw him squinting and napping, frowned, and smiled as if reminding: "Little brother wake up, a fish has been hooked~"

As she spoke, the drift that had never moved sank sharply, and the line was straightened......

"Huh?"

Xu Boqing was shocked, and woke up from his sleep, seeing the fishing line moving, he smiled meaningfully: "This is really a fish bite, rare~rare~~"

With a flick of his wrist, the fishing line broke through the water and made a 'gargling' sound, and a fat and tender big perch broke out of the water.

The amount is less than seven or eight catties~

He reeled in the rod and line, caught the fish, took out a nail-like straight hook from the fish's mouth, turned sideways and threw the rod and hook back into the cabin.

Then he looked at the middle-aged fisherwoman on the side with his gills, and said with a slight smile: "Sister-in-law is really a lucky star, I have been fishing here for a few days, and there are no fish to bite the hook...

When you come, there will be fish biting the hook, or such a tender and fat big fish, this lunch is settled. ”

"How can I not bite the hook after a few days of fishing?"

The middle-aged woman on the fishing boat smiled and said in a teasing tone, "I'm afraid you're napping when the fish bites the hook." ”

"Hahaha... It's extreme~~"

Xu Boqing smiled inexplicably, arched his hand and said: "This fish is fat and beautiful, and it is because of my sister-in-law's words, it is a pity to eat alone in the next person, I wonder if my sister-in-law can enjoy her face and move to a step?" ”

“……”

The woman on the fishing boat was slightly stunned...

Seeing this, Xu Boqing arched his hand and smiled bitterly: "It's Xu Meng Lang, my sister-in-law has any doubts, and Xu can understand it, so don't do it." ”

"Little brother misunderstood..."

The woman on the fishing boat approached, and when the two boats approached, she stepped onto the ferry, and said with a smile: "The country woman doesn't know the general situation, and I hope the little brother will not blame her." ”

"Hahahaha..."

Xu Boqing stood up with a hearty smile, made a gesture to sit down, and said: "My sister-in-law and I hit it off at first sight, and I am afraid that my sister-in-law will blame me for a little Meng Lang's words." ”

"That's a big deal..."

Seeing that he was still carrying the fish in his hand, the woman asked tentatively, "Do you need help with this fish?" ”

"Sister-in-law, you can sit down and ......"

Xu Boqing waved his hand, took a knife with him, and on the side of the boat, he removed the scales of the big fish in his hand and removed the internal organs...

"I know that my sister-in-law has lived by the water for a long time, and she must be tired of eating the river fresh at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, but today, you have to try my craft."

"Oh?"

The woman was shocked and said with a smile: "Could it be that little brother, your way of making fish is different?" ”

"That's not it..."

Xu Boqing took out the carbon stove in the cabin, lit the fire and set the pot before he said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, there are thousands of people in this world...

The way to make fish is basically the same, but I'm a different person, and the taste of the fish is definitely different. ”

“……”

The fisherwoman was slightly distracted.

First, I heard his words;

The second is that she just looked at the cabin along with the person, and also saw the straight hook thrown in the cabin...

Straight hook??

Fishing!?

She said with a slight movement in her eyes: "I can see the difference of the little brother, and he actually fishes with a straight hook..."

"Some people fish for fishing, some people fish for entertainment, my straight hook fishing is just for fun, but it makes my sister-in-law smile."

Xu Boqing replied casually, as if he didn't know anything, he concentrated on steaming the fish, stirring the charcoal in the furnace, adding water to the pot, and blowing the fire, it seems that there is really such a thing.

And although the woman was suspicious in her heart, she didn't ask anything when she saw this, and only pretended not to know and diverted the topic: "Take the liberty of asking the name of the little brother?" ”

"Xu Boqing."

"Good name~"

The woman bowed slightly, and then asked tentatively, "How old is the little brother?" It doesn't look big, how did you come to this river to beg for a living? ”

"Age ......"

Xu Boqing paused slightly when he heard this, secretly thinking that he had the memory of being a human being in two lives, and denying that neither of them was wrong, so it was really hard to say at this age...

Then he replied vaguely: "At my age, I should be older than my sister-in-law expected, and I just came to this riverside to pass by, not to make a living here." ”

“……”

When the woman saw that he was a little distracted when he said his age, she sighed, 'Sure enough,' and when she heard the phrase, 'It should be older than my sister-in-law expected,' she strengthened her suspicions...

She bowed her head slightly, and said in a teasing tone: "Then you shouldn't be called little brother, you should be called sir~"

"My sister-in-law tortured me..."

Xu Boqing waved his hand again and again, and then seemed to think of something, and asked, "Take the liberty of asking my sister-in-law's name?" ”

“……”

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Ao Lan." ”

"Ao Lan ~ Extravagance is hard to hide, good name ~"

Xu Boqing sighed in admiration, still pretending not to know her identity and asked: "I didn't mean to offend, but my sister-in-law is a daughter, how could I come to this river to beg for a living?" ”

“……”

Ao Lan seemed to think of some past, some nostalgia, and some helpless sighs, and said: "My husband's family died early, and there is a disobedient rebel in the family, if I don't come out to beg for a living, both of us will starve to death." ”

“……”

Xu Boqing's cheeks stiffened, and he knew that he was a little abrupt, and said sincerely: "Xu didn't mean to reveal his sister-in-law's scar, I'm really sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter."

The woman smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's been so many years since you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it..."

After that, both of them fell silent...

A few days ago, when the Jiang Shrine was punishing demons, Xu Boqing vaguely felt that someone seemed to be secretly watching him...

It's just that at that time, the qi was chaotic, and the rainy night was mixed, and even the eyes of the Heavenly Eyes could not see anything.

At first, he thought it was the toad's helper, or some other demon...

Therefore, when he started, he did enough to make a big move, and even borrowed the divine power in the water god rune to break the river and punish the demon.

In order to make the watcher jealous!!

The effect has also been achieved...

After the demon was punished, no other demon jumped out until he left, but the feeling of being watched by others has always existed.

Considering that he could occupy water conservancy on the river and could use the divine power of the water god talisman, he wandered on the Qianling River for several days, not hesitating to use his body as bait to fish out the existence of the peeping himself.

Now, the existence of secretly watching is fished out, but it is a little different from what he imagined, neither a human nor a demon in the conventional sense...

But...... Dragon!!

Real Dragon!!
