The stretching Lilegula Mountain has always been the mother peak in the minds of the six people of Peking University.

This mountain range has given birth to at least four large rivers that water the lands of numerous countries, including Reims, Franck, etc.

The Harvest River, the second largest river in the Lilgula Mountains, is formed by the convergence of twelve tributaries, it is not as turbulent and fierce as the first major river, the Gula River, nor is it as remote as other major rivers, it stretches for a long time, crossing the entire Reims Empire, creating the richest piece of land in Reims. From the name, you can see the gratitude of the people of Reims to the river.

The rushing river tumbled over the white waves, ran freely through the terrain, and after rushing out of the steep peaks, it washed out a vast plain, and this was the Utubra plain.

The water gradually slows down here, like a beautiful ribbon, floating on the plain, and the jungle beasts on both sides of the river are rushing and insects are singing, and the vitality is high. Farther afield, there is a large field of farmland, where the crops have grown and the fields are green.

There are not only farmers but also fishermen who depend on the harvest river for their livelihood. This season is the time when longfin fish return to spawn in the harvest river. Experienced fishermen cast their nets during this period. The delicious meat of albacore has always been a favorite delicacy on the table of nobles, and the fillets made from albacore are even eligible to be served in the palace for His Majesty the Emperor to taste.

However, albacores are very fierce and have sharp teeth, and even if they are caught, they will often bite through the nets and escape, or they will suddenly burst out after being caught on the boat and bite the fishermen.

Every year, fishermen die due to albacore attacks.

Simone sat at the bow of the boat, her hands dancing nimbly on a fishing net, as if she were dancing, and a low hum came out of her throat, singing a beautiful tune from the local area.

Soon, she turned back to the cabin and shouted, "Grandpa, the nets have been repaired!"

An old voice came from the cabin: "Oh, yes, my Simone is the most capable, let me see." ”

An old man came out of the cabin, dressed in the cloak that fishermen often wear, and his cloudy eyes first rested on his granddaughter, showing a loving smile, and then took the fishing net with a trembling smile.

Rubbing his bark-like hand over the fishing net, the old man said, "Well done, my child." You've patched this net no less than ten times, right? But it still looks like new. ”

The girl's expression was very proud: "I'll lay out today's first net." ”

The first nets that fishermen start fishing have always been of particular importance. Fishermen believe that the harvest of the first net directly determines their harvest this season.

The old man solemnly agreed.

The girl took back the fishing net and leaned her hands on her chest: "Great God, it is you who have given us food, you have given us possessions, it is you who have taught us how to live, you have given us sweet waters, and you have guided us in the darkness to find light. Your reward, we accept, your punishment, we dare not refuse, your instructions, we dare not disobey ......"

After praying silently, the girl spread out the fishing net in her hand.

Catching albacore is both easy and difficult.

As long as the net is placed, all that remains to do is wait for the albafinfish to crash into the net by itself. Its gills will hang on the net, causing it to be unable to retreat. Whether or not you can break free from the nets depends on the fish itself, the quality of the nets, and luck.

It didn't take long for the net to shake dramatically, which meant that a fish had entered the net.

You can't expect to catch albacore, and if you can catch one in each net, you can expect to catch a satisfying harvest.

Simone ran over to collect the net, excited and nervous at the same time.

She hoped she would succeed in getting the net down, pulling desperately with her left hand and holding a harpoon in her right hand.

"It's so heavy, we've caught a big fish, grandpa!" the little girl called back.

The old man also ran over excitedly.

The grandfather and grandson worked together to close the net.

However, when the net was closed, Simone froze.

Where there are fish in the net, there is a bald man.

"Oh my God, it's a man! ”

Simone closed her eyes and shouted, the man was naked.

"A wounded man. The old man's expression was very serious, and he could clearly see that this man had a black long sword stuck in his lower abdomen.

The old man quickly opened the net and put his face on the man's chest to listen: "Hell, he's still alive." Look at his skin, he's been soaking in the water for at least a day, he's been so badly injured, and he's not dead, is this guy beaten with iron?"

"He's still alive, so what are we going to do?" Simone stole into the man's fingers, oh my God, he's so strong, but ...... But what is that thing down there?

She saw that the man was covered in strange tattoos.

"Maybe we should throw him back. The old man said very seriously, as an old man who has lived for decades, he knows very well what this kind of thing means.

Trouble, trouble with a samurai, even a lowly-level samurai, is not something that a person like him can afford to provoke.

"But we can't do that, he's going to die. ”

"We don't say, no one knows. ”

Simone put down her hand to look at her grandfather, her expression serious: "But God knows." We accept the gift of the gods, and we do not shirk the punishment of the gods. Perhaps this is God's plan to send this man to us to save him. We cannot reject God's arrangement. ”

"Silly boy, there is no god in this world. The old man shook his head.

"But ......"

"I'm sorry, Simone, but I can't agree with you on this matter. You still don't understand how dangerous the world is, this guy has a sword stuck in his body, which means that someone wants to kill him. We don't know who is going to kill him, but we can't afford to mess with any of them. Throw him back into the water!" the old man said and looked at the man, and sighed: "I'm sorry, young man, if it were me, I would have saved you, but for my granddaughter......"

He grabbed the man by the shoulder, ready to push him into the water.

"No! grandpa!" exclaimed Simone.

The old man was about to speak, but the man who was in a coma suddenly opened his eyes.

The blood-red eyes made the old man's heart cold.

This look is clearly not possessed by human beings, it is like a devil, and it is terrifying. As for the tattoos on his body, they emit a strange light......

He actually stood up, stretched out a hand, and slowly pulled out the black long sword inserted in his abdomen, blood flowing down the blade.

The old man was stunned and knelt down with a plop: "Please...... Other...... Don't kill me...... No, no, it's all my idea, kill me if you want to, please spare my granddaughter......"

The pleading voice went unanswered, and the old man looked up dumbfoundedly.

He saw that the man in the water had fallen down again......

The old man and Simone looked at each other.

Simone dared to approach the man, and she saw that he was actually a very good-looking man, with an angular face, full contours, muscles full of explosive power, and even some strange tattoos full of special beauty......

"Are you sure you're going to throw him down? Simone asked softly.

The old man shuddered, and finally lowered his head.

He murmured, "This is God's will, and God's will must not be disobeyed......"

————————————

When the man awoke, he was in a cramped cabin.

Dried fish hung from the ceiling, the boat swayed slightly in the water, and the sound of people crunching on the board, and even the sound of the river could be heard.

There was no one but himself in the humble cabin, and he struggled to sit up, only to find that his abdomen and whole body were covered with bandages, which were made of strips of rags.

A little girl came in with a bowl of hot fish soup and was startled to see the man standing there, almost spilling the fish soup.

She hurriedly put down the fish soup and said in an excited tone, "Are you awake?"

Mu Ne's eyes scanned over the girl's body, and the man did not answer, but only showed a curious look, as if he was looking at some rare toy.

This made the girl's face flush a little, and she rubbed the corner of her clothes and whispered, "I hope you won't be angry at my grandfather's behavior, but at any rate, he finally didn't do that." ”

"Your ...... Grandpa?" the man snorted.

"Yes. The little girl nodded vigorously.

Then she was disappointed to see that there was no expression on the man's face, as if what had happened before had nothing to do with him.

After thinking about it, the girl picked up the fish soup and brought it to the man's mouth.

The man was a little confused, and looked at the girl, and he saw the sincere eyes.

So he picked up the fish soup and drank it dry.

"Be careful! it's hot!" cried the girl.

The man didn't feel it.

The girl gritted her teeth slightly, and the man ...... It's weird.

So she had the courage to ask, "Hey...... You...... What's your name, and how can you be in the water, and you're still injured?"

The man looked at the girl, said nothing, and walked straight out of the cabin.

"Hey, you're hurt, you're not well, you can't run around. ”

The man turned his head to look at the little girl, then untied the bandage that was wrapped around his body.

Watching his movements, the little girl shouted, "You can't do that, the wound hasn't healed yet." ”

The bandage was untied, the man's lower abdomen was smooth as a mirror, and the little girl was dumbfounded.

"You...... Your injury, alright?" she couldn't believe it.

The man didn't answer, just looked at the little girl.

The little girl's face blushed more and more, and she lowered her head and said, "So...... Well, you can go. But ......"

The man still didn't speak, and the little girl stomped her foot: "But you have to tell where you are from, and ask your family to bring you some money, anyway...... You're going to have to pay us for the fishing nets. ”

In the last sentence, the little girl spoke in a very low voice.

"Family......" The man chewed on this sentence carefully, his eyebrows showing thought.

"Don't you have family?" asked the girl, trembling.

"I ...... No...... Know...... Road. The man replied with great difficulty.

The girl was disappointed, this man who looked like steel turned out to be a stammer.

The other party's defects made the girl much more emboldened, and she asked:

"So, what's your name and where are you from?"

There was a puzzled look in the man's eyes: "I don't ...... the name?" Know...... I...... No...... Remember...... Finish. ”

The little girl was stunned.

She murmured, "God, what kind of man have you sent for us?"
