It was getting late, but the sky was not dark, the mountains became a deep black shadow, and the yellow and blue light on the horizon was reflected in the water with the silhouettes of the mountains, and the river was also dyed. A small boat sailed with the waves, and the light on the boat was not much bigger than a soybean from a distance, and it was also reflected in the water, and was wrinkled by the evening breeze.

The boatman sat on the bow of the boat with a long pole in his hand.

The fishing line is like water, with ripples.

The boatman suddenly lifted the rod and reached out to catch it at the same time.

Seeing that it was just a small fish, I threw it on the cabin.

"Plop Plop ......"

The fish were jumping in the cabin.

The boatman only smiled and said to the three-flowered cat:

"For you."

"Meow~"

Sanhua Cat thanked him, and then lowered his head and began to eat.

The scholar also sat on the side of the boat to blow the wind, watching the boatman fishing, and from time to time he stretched out his hand to go down, which was so close to the water that he could touch the water without stretching his hand straight.

Suddenly he smiled, pointed to the side and said to the boatman:

"Look, old man, you have been fishing so hard that you have only caught a meal less than two fingers wide for so long, and as a result, there is a fish floating here, and they have all come to me! This is mocking you......"

So saying, he propped himself on the edge of the window with his other hand, so that he leaned out, and stretched out his hand as if to catch the fish.

"Don't go get it!"

The boatman immediately turned his head and said.

"Huh?"

The scholar retracted his hand like lightning and looked at the boatman:

"Why?"

Only then did the boatman's face soften, and he also smiled, and said to the scholar:

"Don't go and get it."

"But what's the point?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just those of us who run boats and fish at night, and we don't touch this kind of fish that floats on the water's edge, not far away, not close, and seems to be caught with an extra hand." The boatman continued to sit on the bow of the boat fishing, and the voice drifted from the night wind, "I'm just used to it." ”

The scholar seemed to be interested.

"Uncle, please elaborate."

"What's ......?"

"There must be something special!"

"Don't embarrass the little old man."

"Don't dare to be embarrassed! My husband doesn't know anything, and I like to listen to some stories and rumors of such gods and ghosts in my life, and I ask my husband to tell me about it. ”

"There is nothing else, it's just that although this fish looks close, it has to stretch out an extra hand, and this extra hand will increase the danger of falling into the water."

"That's all?"

"Guest officer knows, where will the grain fall from the sky? Most of the things that come plainly are not simple. "The boatman sat motionless, concentrating on fishing," just like the fish in front of the guest officer, the guest officer thinks that he can get it by leaning over and reaching out, but this leaning down, if there is a little demon and little ghost below, take advantage of your carelessness ......"

Halfway through speaking, the boatman smiled and said nothing.

"Oh?"

The scholar raised his eyebrows, afraid and excited: "On this Liujiang River, this kind of thing has happened before?" ”

The boatman still smiled and remained silent, concentrating on fishing.

"Don't be stingy."

"It's really insignificant."

"If the old man wants to say, he can pay for some tea."

It can be seen that the scholar is really a lover of stories, and since this is the case, the boatman is not good to excuse himself, and after a little muttering, he will speak patiently.

"When I was young, I heard people say that it is best not to touch the fish that can be picked up by taking one step into the water and the medicinal herbs that can be picked up by taking one step further to the edge of the cliff. However, he is young and vigorous, and he can't talk about not believing this kind of statement, he usually believes it, but it is really his turn, and when that time comes, he can't remember it until he has seen this kind of incident happen.

“……”

There are really a lot of strange stories on this Liujiang boat.

The boatman talked about several in a row.

It's nothing more than a scholar like this, greedy for cheapness, thinking that it is good luck from heaven, or walking by the river in the middle of the night and seeing someone fall into the water, or something else, he is harmed by demons.

Song You also listened quietly beside him.

Before I knew it, the fish that had floated near the surface of the water, half a meter away from the boat, was gone.

Most of the monsters and ghosts in this world are like this.

There is no need to say more, unless the Tao is profound, if you want to harm people, you have to put some effort into it.

The monsters are too different to say.

It's like a tiger I met a few days ago. The tiger is the king of the mountain, even if he has not yet opened his spiritual intelligence, but he is just a little smarter than his peers, knows how to bully the weak and avoid the strong, and distinguish traps, so that a group of young people and hunters in Lijia Village can no longer take it, if it is harmful to people's hearts, the consequences are unimaginable.

But if it is a rabbit, it is a spirit and has opened its mind, or it may be knocked to death by someone with a stick, or accidentally taken by an eagle.

Let's take another example of the fox that is common in the story.

It's more or less a carnivore, but many foxes have become sperm and have been transformed, and before the Tao is not high, they will blend into the world and meet the keen village dogs, and they will have to walk around.

This is an innate difference, and there is a beauty in it.

The little ghosts and demons are not strong enough, and if they want to harm people, they have to rely on deception and temptation to make people relax their vigilance and fall into the trap before they can succeed.

But it doesn't necessarily mean to hurt people. Many aquatic animals have gained wisdom and will use fish to catch birds or other fish, and it is just an accident that they catch people. It doesn't necessarily have to be the work of demons. This boat is hundreds of thousands of miles away on the water, and there are many no-people on the way, and some of the boatmen have bad intentions and kill guests, using the excuse that demons and ghosts have done it.

After the boatman finished speaking, the scholar was hooked.

"Little old man can't speak......"

"Don't say that, my husband, this kind of story is the most touching when it is told in the most simple tone, as if it happened around you." The scholar said, and hurriedly turned around and got into the boat, "I have to write it down quickly, I forgot it, but I will lose my Wuwen tea money." ”

A few stories, Wuwen tea money, is also worth it.

At night, it was cold on the river, and it was cold outside.

Song You patted the neck of the jujube red horse: "I have wronged you to stay here for the past few days, so it's easy not to make a sound, but if something happens, just call me loudly." ”

The jujube red horse stood still, silent.

But there was a scholar's laughter behind him: "Little gentleman is really interesting, talking to cats is quite common, and now talking to horses, are you a horse who has also become a fine man, can you understand people's words?" ”

Song You smiled and turned his head to look.

In the past, when the boatman told the story, he had caught a few big fish and boiled the soup in advance, but now the heat rose on the small stove, and in the heat, the scholar used the clothes box as a table, spread straw paper, put the brush in his hand into his mouth to wet it, and buried his head in writing.

Song You also entered the cabin and took a casual look.

It's the story that the boat family tells.

After that, the scholar buried himself in writing and did not speak again.

Looking at the boat again, the first thing used is the soup boiled by the fish bones and fish head, and the meat on the fish body is carefully packed up, cut into thin slices, and when the fish soup is boiled, only the translucent delicate fish slices are poured into the pot, and then they become as white as snow after rolling around, and the aroma becomes more and more attractive.

"There's nothing good to eat on board, it's all this all day long, don't be surprised by the guest officers."

The boatman took the dishes and chopsticks from the low cupboard.

The scholar had just finished writing, but he was not polite, and immediately went to fetch the bowl, like the owner of this boat, and greeted Song You, and the family of three, and served them soup.

Song You also got a bowl and thanked him.

The cold on the river is heavy, and the heat in the bowl is thick.

Before I could put my mouth down, I felt the temperature in my palm that contrasted with the outside, and I already felt a little bit.

"Hmm!!"

The scholar's voice was the first to sound.

"My husband is a good craft!"

"But it's not a craft, and whoever makes it tastes like this." The boatman smiled, "The guest officer just took the first sip and felt comfortable, and it was like this for the next few days, either fish soup or fish mixed with a pot of porridge, and it would be annoying to eat a few more meals." ”

"The old man is modest, and he only went upriver from the Liujiang River to Yizhou before the next year, and the boatman on the boat did the same at that time, but it was not as good as the old man's taste."

"Don't you dare to say that!"

Song You listened and lowered his head to taste it.

Almost only salt and ginger are added to the fish soup, and there is some salt, and the fishy smell is removed, and the fish that has just been caught is delicious, but there is no other taste, so it is normal.

It is mainly the fish fillet that is placed later.

The fish is very thin, and not a single bone is missing, so you have to test some knife skills and patience. The fish in the back is very delicious, only rolled in the pan twice, and even the skin of the fish is a little crispy when you first eat it, which is completely different from those who put the fish in the pot and simmer it together in the beginning.

The boatman is modest.

Even if it's true that there aren't many fancy, sometimes it's more difficult to do simple things well, and that's not a skill.

"Hoo ......"

Song You exhaled hot air, which was very comfortable.

Then look down at the three-flowered cat next to him.

"Do you want to eat it?"

The three-flowered cat didn't speak, only shrank back.

The scholar was amused again.

After eating the fish soup, he came to talk to Song You again:

"Where is the gentleman?"

"Yizhou people."

"Oh? Where is Yizhou? ”

"Lingquan County."

"Lingquan County?"

The scholar suddenly became interested: "I have been to Yizhou and Lingquan County. ”

"The foot is ......"

"I haven't reported myself yet, it's really rude!" The scholar hurriedly smiled and arched his hand, "The surname Fu is Fu, the Fu of Taifu, the single name is a feather character, the word Wendong, and he is a person from Xuzhou County." ”

"Song You, the word dream, a mountain from Lingquan County, Yizhou."

"Sir is practicing in Lingquan County?"

"I'm amazed."

"It's not that I'm surprised, it's just that I want to ask about something." The scholar arched his hand again and said, "Since Mr. is practicing in Lingquan County, I don't know if you have heard of the Fulong Temple of Yin Yang Mountain?" ”

"I've heard of it."

Song You still looked at him lightly.

"It's not a secret, in the next trip to Yizhou, one is to visit relatives and friends, and the other is to go to Yin Yang Mountain to find Fulongguan." The scholar couldn't help but shake his head, showing regret and remorse, "But when I went down to Lingquan County to look for it in many ways, I found Yin Yang Mountain, but I searched the whole mountain, not to mention the palace temple, and I didn't see a brick or tile on the mountain." ”

"Is Fulongguan famous? Where did you hear about it? ”

"It's not famous.,It's just that I'm in love with this.,Like to collect legends of gods, ghosts and monsters.,I stumbled upon it.,Collected several good rumors that happened to mention this Taoist temple.,Curiosity took this opportunity to want to visit.,But in vain.,Empty days for many days.。

As he spoke, he looked at Song You.

"Could it be that Fulongguan is not on the Yin Yang Mountain? Or is there another Yin-Yang Mountain? Did I make a mistake? ”

"I don't know what I do."

Song You still said to him lightly: "That Fulong Temple is quite strange, even if the pilgrims under the mountain want to incense, they can only find the Taoist Temple when the master wants to open the door, and the rest of the time, even if they follow the familiar road, they can only return in vain." ”

"Really?"

"You can't fake it."

"There is such a miracle!!"

"I heard that the Lord of Fulong Guan is lazy, and only one disciple is quite industrious, maybe he didn't find a position, but he didn't go to the right time."

"Wonderful......"

The scholar's eyes widened, and his hands clapped in a clapping motion.

"Since there is such a magical place, it must be a famous mansion in Xianshan, if I have another chance in the future, I should go to find it again!"

"What year will it be?"

"I'm afraid it's been many years."

"May all your wishes come true."

"Thank you, thank you......"

Song You leaned in the cabin, Sanhua Niangniang was already lying next to him, and he put his hand on Sanhua Niangniang's back, passing the body temperature to each other, and gradually became sleepy.
