Volume 1: The Beginning of the Rivers and Lakes 12 Anglers

The sun shone in the forest, and in a willow forest in the distance, there was a young man riding on a donkey, holding a wine gourd and drinking wine comfortably.

"I'm so hungry, I don't have any dry food, so I can only drink and suppress it." Zhu Shun rubbed his stomach and sat on the donkey and walked slowly.

Zhu Shun glanced around and saw a watermelon field, Zhu Shun saw the watermelon field, looked around again, and muttered to himself:

"Sins and sins, there is no one around, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I will secretly eat some, which can be regarded as adding some merit to the melon farmers."

Zhu Shun got off the donkey, then tied the donkey under a willow tree, touched the donkey's head, and said:

"Red beans, help control the wind, I'll pick a few more and we'll be half of each of us, how about it?"

The donkey nodded, and Zhu Shun looked at the donkey with a smile and said:

"Okay."

Then Zhu Shun went directly to the melon field, smashed a big watermelon, took a bite, and said:

"I'll go, it's so juicy, sweet." Zhu Shun ate the same as the pig, and ate it in a big gulp.

Zhu Shun always felt that his back was leaning on a person during eating melons, Zhu Shun was startled, then slowly turned his head, and suddenly saw a big-haired man staring at him, and the two stared at each other for a long time.

The bearded man sweated on his face, looked at Zhu Shun and asked:

"Who are you?"

Zhu Shun stammered:

"I'm sorry, I'm just hungry to steal your melon."

The bearded man wiped his face and said, "It's fate to meet each other, and I am also a great benevolent person, allowing you to eat melons." ”

Then the bearded man broke a large piece of watermelon and handed it to Zhu Shun, saying:

"You're welcome, brother."

Zhu Shun was very moved and said:

"Thank you, big brother!" Then Zhu Shun brushed twice and ate the melon.

Not far away came a middle-aged man, the man held a steel fork, slowly walked in the direction of the melon field, the middle-aged man saw a donkey tied to the ground, first startled, and then hurriedly ran to the melon field, looked at the two strangers who were gnawing their watermelons, and then widened his eyes and scolded:

"Two bastards, dare to steal melons." Then he walked towards here with a fork.

Zhu Shun looked at the man and asked:

"Big brother, isn't this your land?"

The bearded man hugged a large piece of watermelon, looked at Zhu Shun and said:

"Brother, we'll see you again."

Then the bearded man ran away with a large piece of watermelon left, the melon farmer chased the man with a fork, and then Zhu Shun picked up a complete big watermelon, and ran away with the man's back, and then Zhu Shun held the watermelon and turned over to the donkey to untie the rope, Zhu Shun patted the donkey and said:

"Red Bean, run." Then the donkey quickly ran away with Zhu Shun.

The melon farmer tripped and fell without noticing, and then threw himself on the ground, watched the bearded man escape, and then scolded angrily:

", don't let me catch you!!"

The bearded man also ran in the direction of Zhu Shun.

Zhu Shun rode a donkey and looked behind from time to time, and then saw that there was no figure and lay down under a thick willow tree, there is a river here, there are wild ducks swimming in the water on the river, and the mountains are clearly seen in the distance, there are many fishermen rowing light boats on the river and then netting fish in the middle of the river, and there are two anglers, who are fishing.

Zhu Shun put the watermelon in the package, and then slowly walked to an angler, who was full of white hair and was about sixty years old. Looking at the angler's fishing basket, Zhu Shun said:

"Senior, the harvest is full."

The angler saw Zhu Shun and said with a smile:

"Why don't you give it a try?"

The angler added:

"Don't underestimate fishing, it can make people interrupt their arrogance, make people become objective and humble."

The angler muttered:

"It's coming!" Then the rod was lifted, a very large fish.

Zhu Shun walked to another angler, this angler was the same age as the other angler, he took a hat, held a fishing rod, and quietly looked at the river, Zhu Shun saw a basket with only two or three small fish, and said:

"Senior, today's harvest is a bit bleak."

The angler replied:

"Is fishing really about catching fish? Actually, no, I enjoyed the process of fishing, because I got great satisfaction from interacting with the fish, so I didn't care about the outcome anymore. ”

The angler said:

"For example, in terms of love between men and women, many people care too much about the final result, and this result will give rise to people's feelings of possession, and occupation is a kind of low-level love."

Zhu Shun was thoughtful, stunned, and looked at the river.

Zhu Shun hugged his fists and said to this old man wearing a hat:

"Thank you for your advice."

The old man with a hat took out a fishing rod, handed it to Zhu Shun and said:

"Why don't we join us and become fishing friends?"

Zhu Shun picked up the fishing rod and hugged his fists:

"Thank you, senior."

Zhu Shun picked up the fishing rod and squatted by the river, he remembered that when he was young, he and his partners had not parted ways, so they often went down to the river to fish, and now they have not fished for many years.

Zhu Shun looked at the fishing rod in the vibration, and then very excited, a big fish was caught with the rod, when Zhu Shun lifted the rod, he felt that he was fluttering, this feeling of harvest made him very satisfied, at this moment Zhu Shun seemed to fall in love with fishing.

Zhu Shun asked the old man with a hat next to him and asked:

"Senior, what kind of place does this belong to?"

The old man replied:

"This is the territory of Taishan County."

Then the old man pointed to a high mountain not far away, and said:

"This is Mount Tai, which is the only one of the five mountains."

Zhu Shun was very surprised, this was Yang Yunfeng's hometown, and he didn't know if he could see him.

Zhu Shun handed the fishing rod to the old man and said:

"Thank you, senior, I have to hurry."

Old man with a hat says:

"Take it, I still have a lot of them at home, I think you should be a ranger, you should have suffered a lot of sins along the way."

Zhu Shun replied: "It's okay." ”

The old man pointed to the other old man next to him and said:

"That old guy and I also fought together in the sword world back then, and slept in the open along the way, knowing that it was not easy."

The old man looked at Zhu Shun:

"Take it, do more good deeds, and you will be very comfortable."

Zhu Shun took the fishing rod and lowered his head and hugged his fist:

"The juniors are here to say goodbye to the two seniors!"

Then Zhu Shun led the donkey and continued this goalless trip.

After leaving, the two old men looked at each other and smiled, as if they remembered the good memories of their youth, fighting the sword world, and being happy with enmity.

Unconsciously, it was night again, the white moon in the sky shone on the earth, Zhu Shun found a cave, lit a bonfire in it, and roasted the fish, Zhu Shun remembered the girl who saw him that day, his face was full of smiles, I don't know when I can see him again?

In the depths of the forest not far away, there was a bearded man who was untying his big hands in the ditch, and he covered his stomach and muttered to himself:

"After the calf, I ate too much melon and had diarrhea."

Out of nowhere, a yellow dog, which could be from a nearby village, stared at the man, and the man and the dog stared at each other with wide eyes, and the man looked at the dog and said:

"Do you like to eat hot?"

The yellow dog stared at the man, and the man was stared at by a dog very unpleasantly, and then the man recited a poem affectionately:

If you want to drain the stomach with coarse sorrow, the obsessive dog salivates.

Clenched his fists to drive away the rebellious dog, but Xiang had already shown his head.

The yellow dog ran towards the man as if he had seen the delicacies of the world.

Seeing this scene, the man hurriedly picked the leaves of the willow tree, quickly wiped his cheeks, put on his pants, and then ran quickly.

As soon as the man walked away, his stomach growled, and he was sad, there was no food.

But he smelled the aroma of grilled fish and muttered:

"Be cheeky and beg for something to eat, others should give face."

Then he noticed a smoky cave and climbed into it.

As soon as the man entered the cave, he saw a familiar face, and the two of them stared at each other with wide eyes.

When the man saw Zhu, he said:

"Brother, we do have fate."

Zhu Shun looked at the man and looked incredulous, and replied:

"Brother, there is indeed fate, thanks to you for allowing me to steal the melon smoothly."

The man covered his stomach, scratched his head, and said:

"Brother, you're welcome, I'm hungry too, can you give me something to eat?"

朱顺 says:

"Of course you can, come here, big brother, let's be half of us."

The bearded man, about the age of his establishment, carried a big knife on his back, wore shabby rough clothes, had a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and was burly, the bearded man sat in front of Zhu Shun and said:

"My name is Wen Kui, from Chang'an, what is your name, brother."

Zhu Shun replied:

"My name is Zhu Shun, the Shun of Zhushun, a person from Langya, Shandong."

Then Zhu Shun tore half of the fish and handed it to Wen Kui, Zhu Shun said:

"Brother Wen, why are you here?"

Wen Kui took the grilled fish and replied:

"I want to see how big the world is, so there's no direction to travel, what about you?"

Zhu Shun was taken aback and said:

"We are like-minded people, and I also want to see how big the world really is."

Wenkui says:

"Why don't we work together, take care of each other, people must have their own way of living in life, and strive not to be full of regrets in their old age."

Zhu Shun clasped Wen Kui's hand and said:

"That's exactly what I mean."

Then the two of them burst out laughing, and the two of them talked a lot.

Late at night, Zhu Shun picked up a brush from the package and leaned against a big stone in the cave to record what happened today.

Wen Kui saw that Zhu Shun was writing, so he stood next to Zhu Shun and stared at Zhu Shun writing, so he asked:

"Brother Zhu, do you still have the habit of writing travelogues?"

Zhu Shun replied:

"Of course, record it, and after opening it again after many years, it will be very comfortable, as if you have returned to many years ago."

Wen Kui also took out a book from his package, and Wen Kui smiled: "I also like to make travelogues, hahaha." ”

Zhu Shun looked at Wen Kui's yellowed books, and said with a smile:

"Can I take a look? Vancou. ”

Wen Kui replied:

"Absolutely!"

Zhu Shun looked at the travelogue written by Wen Kui, and couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect such an old and coarse person, the travelogue was written so neatly, and people should not be good-looking.

Wen Kui's book is very carefully recorded and very delicately written.

Zhu Shun gave a thumbs up and said:

"Brother Wen, good literature!"

In this way, these two strangers gradually became familiar.

Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend.

In the night, they both fell asleep.

Memories are a wonderful thing that lives in the past, exists in the present, and can affect the future.
