Muzhen is divided in two by a small tributary of the Yangtze River, and the Mo loser is in Beizhen.

Although the river that crosses Muzhen is already in the flood season, the boats built by Mocheng are extremely stable and can still pass.

Two and a half people took a boat to the south of the town, but the market here was not very lively.

Li Congwen carried the box that he hadn't taken out for a few days, and looked at Ju Yeqi and Xiao Di as if he was not very happy, so he said: "Let's go and borrow a boat and go to Chihu Lake to have a look." ”

Ju Ye's eyes lit up, remembering the boat he stepped on with his feet, and looked at Xiao Di.

"Okay, okay, I remember there are still birds on the lake!" Xiao Tu swallowed the sugar gourd in her mouth and said happily.

When a few people came to the Red Lake, they borrowed a boat and a fishing rod from an old man who had never been able to catch a fish.

"This ship is made by our small losers, and it doesn't rely on pulp. There are two pedals over there, and you just need to step on them with two feet in turn, and it's very light. That handle is used to control the direction, and it doesn't take any effort at all, and I can even break the old man. ”

Li Congwen laughed and stuffed the old man with a pot of good wine, and the old man smiled even more happily, and even said that he would tell a few people to have fun.

The boat was a bit larger than what had been seen before, and there was still a lot of room for the two to sit.

It was just after noon, the sky was cloudless, and the sun was hot.

Li Congwen casually stretched out the flower umbrella, felt the coolness at once, and took out the melons and fruits and put them on the board.

With one hand, he threw the fishing rod out at will, and with the other hand, he leisurely took the flask and drank the wine.

The Red Lake is not far from the river, and if you listen closely, you can hear the roar of the river, but you can feel a sense of peace on the lake.

While eating the melons and fruits handed over by Ju Yeqi, Xiao Di looked at the fish and birds swimming together, and asked curiously, "Why is this place called Chihu? Isn't it good to call it Fish and Bird Lake?"

Ju Yeyan sneered, and just wanted to explain, he heard Li Congwen say: "Then you call it Fish and Bird Lake, but there are shrimp and crabs in the lake, what should they do?"

Xiao Di was obviously stumped by this question, "Then it's called Fish, Bird, Shrimp and Crab Lake." ”

After a moment, she shook her head again, "No, this name is too long, and it doesn't sound good, it's still good to listen to Fish and Bird Lake." There is no way to do it with shrimp and crabs, who told them not to show up?"

She spat out the kernel into the lake, saw a fish swimming over, and shouted at the water, "Ah, you are not allowed to eat it! You must wait until it grows up and bears fruit before you can eat it, so that you can all eat it!"

Obviously, the fish couldn't understand or hear Xiao Di's words, and still circled around the core and spit bubbles.

Xiao Di just wanted to talk about them again, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the waterfowl poking its head under the water, and in a moment it took a small shrimp in its mouth and swallowed it.

"Ah, you bad bird, you're going to eat the shrimp when they show their heads! I'm going to change the name of the lake to Fish and Shrimp Lake!" Xiao Tu shouted and flew over, talking about something around the water bird.

Ju Yeqi shouted not to fly far, then let out a long breath and stretched out his hand to pluck the water, "Do you say that Xiao Di's body can be made?"

Li Congwen yawned, set up the fishing rod, turned over, knocked down the wine jug and didn't care, and let the wine in the jug spill.

He said casually: "I can't do it, I give her my body." ”

Ju Yeqi smiled and shook his head slightly, listening to the laughter like a silver bell in the little one, and sighed again.

......................................................................

Twenty-five years of Anyan, winter, southern Xinjiang.

Yang Qi and Nanwang Xiang Wudaunt returned to the camp side by side, they had just carried out a harassment, but this time the Chu army seemed to be prepared, and they were not successful this time.

There was an arrow stuck in the iron armor on Yang Qi's chest, and the arrow had already passed through the iron armor and stabbed his body, but fortunately, it was not deep, and there was no big problem.

Xiang Wuxing found a military doctor to treat Yang Qi's injuries and left, telling him to rest well.

As soon as the military doctor left, a messenger asked to see him, "General Yang, this is a letter from a village in southern Xinjiang, saying that General Yang knows someone." ”

Yang Qi glanced at the wound that had stopped bleeding, took the letter and asked people to retreat.

The letter was not signed, but Yang Qi could tell at a glance that it was written by Chu Sleeve.

"Yang Qi, Xiaoyang is already quite old, but he only moves occasionally, and he doesn't react most of the time. I asked my grandmother, and she said that this is normal, but I wonder if this little yang is a virtue with you? Is it too lazy to move?"

Yang Qi smiled, imagining in his mind the appearance of Chu Sleeve quietly writing lively words.

"Recently, my grandmother didn't let me go out to find bugs for her, so I had to walk around the village, but I was too familiar with the village, and there was nothing to see, so I had to feed the pigs.

And my grandmother made me worms every day, and although it tasted good, I couldn't stand it all the time. But my grandmother said that the worms she made were good for Xiaoyang, so I put up with it.

Oh, by the way, grandma also gave Xiao Yang a Gu, saying that she could protect him, the same as the one on me. Did Mother ever give you any worms? Maybe it's the same as ours, it is said that the Gu worm activation can make you King Kong not bad. ”

The corners of Yang Qi's mouth twitched, he looked at the wounds on his body, and remembered that he had really eaten insects. But that worm was swallowed by itself, so it wouldn't be ineffective, wouldn't it?

"Oh yes, the bird you caught for me ran away the other day, what a guy he can't raise. But it's okay, there's nothing to do in the cage all day, this kind of life is only something like you people will like, eat to open your mouth, and stay motionless all day long. ”

Yang Qi tried his best to think about Chu Sleeve's complaining appearance, but he really couldn't imagine it, shook his head with a smile, and looked at the last sentence.

"You fight well, take care of yourself, Xiaoyang and I are all fine, don't worry. ”

Yang Qi carefully stuffed the letter and lay flat on the bed.

However, after not seeing him for a few months, he found that the faces of Chu Sleeve and Yang Xiaoyang were already a little blurry in his mind.

I don't know when I'll see you again......

.........................................................

In the secret room, Mo Yi came to the wall and pressed a mechanism, and with a bang, a secret door opened.

Mo Yin walked into the dark room, and there were a lot of things in it, including iron, stone, wood, and many things that Yang Xiaoyang couldn't bear.

Mo Yi glanced around, frowned and asked, "How big is Xiao Di's body?"

Yang Xiaoyang thought for a while, "It's almost as high as my chest, and it's about the same size as an ordinary little girl in other places." ”

Mo Yi was stunned for a moment, "I don't think Xiao Di should be very old, right?

"Xiao Di, Xiao Di, if she wants to grow up, let's make her a bigger body. Yang Xiaoyang smiled warmly.

Mo Yin looked at him deeply and took a piece of wood from the shelf, "This is catalpa wood, which grows in northern Xinjiang." The weight is very light, but it is very hard, tough, moisture-resistant, corrosion-resistant and moth-proof, it should be the most suitable for the body, even if it is used for decades. ”

Yang Xiaoyang didn't know how to do it, so he didn't have any ideas and nodded.

After Mo Yi finished selecting the wood, he started to make it, and Yang Xiaoyang didn't bother him, but he would point it out when Mo Yi occasionally had a problem with his choice.

Mo Yi knew that Yang Xiaoyang cultivated immortals and had a strong control over his body, so he carved threads on some wood and asked Yang Xiaoyang to carve them according to the threads, which greatly accelerated the progress.

There was no sunlight in the chamber, and I don't know how long it had been.

Only the candle flame flickered slightly.

Yang Xiaoyang finished carving the wood that Mo Yi handed over to him, it was all strange things, obviously what he carved should be the simplest things, but he just couldn't bear what part it was.

He gave up recognition and looked at Mo Yi.

I saw Mo Yi staring at the wooden carving on the neck, but he kept carving with a knife on a small wooden block in his hand, and the speed was extremely fast, Yang Xiaoyang was afraid that he would cut his hand.

Yang Xiaoyang didn't dare to speak out, for fear that he would lose a finger as soon as he made a sound. It took a while for Mo Yi to stop, frowning at the wood in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xiaoyang asked.

"Alas, this organ at the neck is the most difficult to do, and it is the key to controlling the whole body, but this neck is really difficult to borrow, you can't tilt your head when you take a step, right?"

"Is there any other way?"

Mo Yi was silent for a while, then shook his head, "That's it, let's make the rest of my body first, maybe I'll think of it while doing it." ”

Yang Xiaoyang had no choice but to watch Mo Yi do the trick on the side. The light brown catalpa wood was carved into strange shapes by Mo with a knife, and he spliced them together seemingly randomly, so that Yang Xiaoyang could see that this was something from that part.

After the body was finished, the wood that Mo Yi took out was almost used, and there was no waste, but Mo Yin was not happy, but sighed, "There is still no way to drive the body by the neck." ”

Yang Xiaoyang hesitated, "Why don't you rely on swinging left and right to drive the mechanism?"

"Yes, you can, but in this case, you can't control your body finely, you can only wave your hands and feet. Mo Yu paused, and then continued, "And if you keep swaying from side to side on the road, will you be misunderstood by others?"

Yang Xiaoyang was dumbfounded, pursed his lips, and indeed as Mo Yi said, walking like this will definitely attract strange eyes.

The atmosphere in the secret room suddenly became low, and suddenly, a bell sounded from outside the room.

Mo Yi pushed open a dark grid on the wall, there was a bronze mirror inside, he looked at it, and smiled slightly, "Someone is coming." ”

He pressed a mechanism on the wall, and the door opened.

Yang Xiaoyang looked at the door curiously, but a figure appeared in a moment.

Yang Xiaoyang couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the person who came: "Senior brother?"
