Chapter 1 Disasters are not only murders

On the shore of Dongting Lake, the water is rippling, and a well-established little red carp is swimming on the shore, lazily basking in the sun.

Far away, by the lakeside came a handsome scholar, the scholar walking, looking elegant and extraordinary, outstanding demeanor, the little red carp looked at the scholar walking towards her, the eyes were firmly attracted by this scholar.

Immediately afterward, her little heart seemed to stop beating.

"Who is he? How do I feel so familiar with him?" The little red carp looked at the shadow of the scholar who was getting closer and closer, and couldn't hold back her excitement in her heart, she tried to think about everything in her memory, but after thinking about it, she couldn't find the slightest memory of this scholar.

From the first time she saw the scholar, she was sure where she had seen him, the long black flowing hair like a waterfall, the long and straight majestic figure, the beautiful face as white as jade, and the affectionate and charming eyes like stars, which made her never forget.

Although Childe is dressed plainly, there is an indescribable dusty temperament on the whole body, which fascinates the little red carp.

Seeing that the scholar was about to pass by him, the little red carp simply jumped out of the water in a hurry to attract the attention of the child.

Maybe it was too panicked, maybe it was too hard, the stupid little fish jumped on the dry mud of the lake in front of Gongzi, and couldn't move, because of the lack of water, the little red fish opened its mouth wide and breathed rapidly.

The scholar was startled by the little red fish that jumped out of the water, and then he squatted down to save the little red fish.

"Playful little fish, why are you trapped here alone?" When the scholar saw it, he quickly lifted his clothes, squatted down, rescued the little fish trapped in the dry mud, and turned around and threw it into the rippling blue water.

"Go, don't get any closer to the shore!" the scholar waved his hand at the little fish and left on his own.

This is a little fish in the water, she can obviously change into a human form, but in front of the child, she doesn't dare to transform indiscriminately, for fear of frightening the other party and making the other party treat her as a monster.

Thinking of this, she could only hide silently in the water, and when Childe was far away, she quietly went ashore, changed her human form, and followed behind Childe.

The little red fish had the heart to help the child, but he didn't know what the boy was looking for, so he could only accompany him silently all the way and watch the changes.

Childe searched for a long time, but found nothing, so he had to sit on the rocks by the water to rest exhausted.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, the little red carp heard a cry of pain.

"Ouch! it hurts!" Childe frowned as if he had been bitten on the ankle by something, and then kicked a black and yellow snake aside with his foot.

The fisherman's daughter, who had turned into a little red carp, hurried forward and asked her son with concern.

"Childe, are you alright? You seem to have been bitten by a poisonous snake just now. Seeing that the wound on Childe's ankle was red and swollen, the little red carp hurriedly squatted down and bent down to help Childe.

"No, no!" The child's face turned crimson, and she stretched out her hand to stop the little red fish, but the little red fish was willing to listen, she tore open the child's trouser legs with her hands and feet, and squeezed out the poisonous blood on the child's ankle. Immediately afterwards, she took out a small medicine bottle from the placket of her clothes, poured out two white and lovely pills from it, and urged her son to take it.

"Swallow it quickly, you can unravel the snake venom, this is a unique antidote medicine prepared by my master, keep the medicine until the disease is cured. ”

After speaking, Xiao Hongyu handed the medicine into Childe's hand, and Childe looked ashamed, so he had to take it in his hand and swallow the pill hard.

As soon as he took the pill, he suddenly felt that the pain had dissipated a lot, and the redness and swelling had magically healed slowly.

Seeing that his leg injury was healing so quickly, Childe knew that he had met a master, so he hurriedly struggled to get up from the stone and thanked the little red fish for the fisherman girl who had transformed into a fisherman.

"Thank you for the girl's life-saving grace, I don't know who the girl's surname is, and where she lives?

Hearing Gongzi's words, Xiao Hongyu couldn't help but smile, she thought in her heart, she lived in the rippling water palace, and she had been dependent on the master and her old man since she was a child, how could she promise a mortal family to visit?

But when I thought of the scholar's kindness, I also understood it.

"Childe doesn't need to say thank you, my name is Red Scale, and I am a fishing daughter of an ordinary family, but I just happened to pass by and helped you out. Thinking that Childe had been looking for a long time on the shore with an anxious look just now, it must be for some kind of distress, so Little Red Fish couldn't help but ask Childe, "I just saw Childe walking in front of him, as if he was looking for something, you might as well come and listen, maybe the little woman can help you with one or two." ”

"Hey, it's a long story, my father also fishes for a living, but a few days ago he came out to fish in the rain, suffered from the cold, bedridden, the family was surrounded by walls, and there was no money to buy medicine, so I had to try to pick some herbs by the lake to treat him, but I didn't expect that I was reading poetry and books, and it was useless.

I had asked my neighbors about the appearance of the herbs, but when I came to the lake, I was so dazzled that I couldn't distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and I couldn't even collect the herbs.

Unexpectedly, when he just sat down to rest, he was bitten by a poisonous snake on the ankle again. Hey, I'm a useless person. The scholar looked ashamed and explained to Red Scales.

"Oh, I see, Childe doesn't have to blame himself, as the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, you only read the books of sages and sages, and it's normal that you don't know herbs and don't know how to pick herbs. I have ready-made pills here, you can take some back to your old father to treat his illness, I am sure that the medicine will be cured. After Red Scale finished speaking, he handed the medicine bottle he was holding tightly in his hand to the scholar.

"How can that be? The incorruptible will not be fed by the mouth, how can I take your life-saving medicine for nothing. The son pushed his hand to stop him, but was stopped by the red scales with his eyes, so he had to squeeze the medicine bottle tightly in his hand, and said gratefully: "The girl is very kind, I am unforgettable, my name is Zimo, I live on the shore of Dongting Lake, although the family is poor, but there is still a valuable object in my hand, carry it with me, it is better to give it to the girl, to thank the girl for saving her life." ”

After speaking, he took out a crystal clear jade bracelet from the placket of his bosom and handed it to Red Scales.

The red scales are not the greedy for money, but the jade bracelet in front of them is also so familiar, but I can't think about it, where have I seen it, so I have to take it in my hand in a daze, and said to Childe, "Childe is such a valuable thing, I shouldn't have accepted it, but I just read Childe's sincerity, I will stay, and if Childe wants to get it back in the future, you can come to the lake at any time to find me and get it back." ”

The boy was rescued by Red Scales, and his legs and feet bitten by poisonous snakes quickly recovered, and after he said goodbye to Red Scales, he rushed home with the medicine given by Red Scales like a gust of wind to treat his old father.

But when he arrived at the house, the door was unexpectedly open, and the son called out to the old father, but no one responded, and when he stepped into the inner room from the courtyard, he found that the old father was lying in a pool of blood, with a shiny knife stuck in his chest for some reason, and the blood was flowing on the bed, which had already congealed.

Looking around the room, the house was turned into a mess, and the perpetrator was nowhere to be found.

Looking at the home with four walls, now the only relative has passed away for no reason, the boy who has tears and does not flick can't help but cry, lying beside his father, crying.

After crying a few times, he suddenly remembered that his father died for no reason, and he had to rush to report to the official in order to avenge his father's grievances.

Thinking of this, Gongzi didn't care about sorting out his belongings, so he quickly closed the door and prepared to go to the yamen to report to the official.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the house, the messengers who had received the news from nowhere had already swarmed around him, and he could not move.

One of the messengers at the head waved his hand and shouted, "Take down the prisoner!" The officers mercilessly trapped and tied up the powerless son.
