Chapter 51: Fishing for a Living
was going to say goodbye and leave the bamboo house, but Huo Xingmali packed his luggage, which made Gan Ningyuan stunned on the spot.
"Seniors are leaving?" asked Gan Ningyuan tentatively, with a bad premonition in his heart.
"Since you are Old Man Sun's apprentice, then I have to follow you, my old bones must be served. Huo Xing smiled, looking at the way he cleaned up his things was a little funny.
Gan Ningyuan was speechless in his heart, and he had nothing to say for a while.
"Senior Huo, I'm going to be rugged and narrow all the way, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to walk with me, so it's better for you to live in this bamboo house first, and then come back to visit you when my matter is over." I really didn't want to bring such an old man, Gan Ningyuan politely refused.
"It's okay, you go yours, I'll follow behind. Huo Xing didn't know if he was thick-skinned or really didn't understand, and replied, looking like he could be on the road at any time.
Since this is the case, Gan Ningyuan is not good to say anything more.
Next, Gan Ning went into the bamboo house, not wanting that the furniture decoration inside was already empty, he guessed that Huo Xing had resold it, but he was suffering from no evidence.
In desperation, the two left Anjiang City, and Gan Ningyuan was angry in his heart, and deliberately slowed down the speed so that Huo Xing's old bones could not keep up.
In the end, he was young and strong, and after walking seven or eight miles out of the city, he had already left Huo Xing behind.
Seeing that Huo Xing was thrown away, Gan Ningyuan's heart was relieved, even if the former had some friendship with the master, he would not have to support the elderly by himself.
After walking for most of the day, he did not stop until dusk, and then he made a fire in the woods, and picked some wild fruits near to satisfy his hunger, and the night was over.
Early in the morning of the second day, Gan Ningyuan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and stretched his waist, and was startled when he was calm, because Huo Xing was seven or eight feet away from him, and he fell asleep by the fire.
"How did he catch up?" Gan Ningyuan was puzzled, looking at Huo Xing's embarrassed appearance and a little unbearable.
However, Gan Ning was far from waking Huo Xing up, but got up and tiptoed away, there are too many suffering people in this world, if they all need to be taken care of, even if he gives birth to a few more hands and feet, he can't take care of it.
Although he was ruthless when he left, after walking some distance, he felt a little ashamed in his heart, thinking that if Huo Xing caught up again, it would be okay to take him to Qingfeng Town to settle down for the time being.
But all the way down, Huo Xing didn't catch up again, the road was very wide, and he only occasionally encountered a few irrelevant pedestrians.
There are many things on his mind, and he arrived in Qingfeng Town in a few days, and his mood is finally better, this is where he grew up, although he has no relatives, but he is always his hometown.
After not returning for several years, Qingfeng Town has not changed much, this remote place, the development is naturally slow, and it is precisely because of this that Gan Ningyuan reminisces.
When he entered the town, there were a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and he could occasionally see one or two familiar faces, but for Qingfeng Town, he was already a stranger that no one knew.
I bought some fruit with two pieces of broken silver on my body, and went to the halfway slope of the mountain behind Qingfeng Town, where the tombstone erected for the beggar's grandfather had arrived, and the grave was overgrown with weeds, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't find a place.
"Grandpa, my grandson is not filial, I haven't come to see your old man for so many years. Gan Ningyuan put down the fruit, knelt down and saluted, his eyes a little moist.
In the future, if there is a chance, the master's grave will also be moved here, and the two of them will have a companion.
After sitting in front of the grave for about an hour, Gan Ningyuan came down the mountain and came to the lake, only some broken wooden houses, many of which had been deserted, he came to the house where Han Yizhong and others lived, and cleaned up for a long time before stopping, in addition, he re-woven the broken nets in the house, planning to fish for some livelihood.
He didn't know the people who lived around him, and he couldn't help but feel a little desolate, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, this place would already be a place of people.
What he didn't know was that two years ago, a mysterious person came and took away all the people from the Qingfeng Gang that day, and this time, Gan Ningyuan naturally had no acquaintances to meet.
Without thinking much about it, Gan Ningyuan found a broken boat outside the house that had been thrown away, leaking everywhere.
It took a lot of effort for the boss to repair the fishing boat, and he went into the water to fish that day, but because he was empty, the silver had already been spent.
Gan Ningyuan's fishing skills are not very good, but his martial arts are not weak, and he can often find a place for fish in the water to live, which makes up for the technical flaws.
At the end of the day, I caught more than 40 catties of fish, which is a big catch.
When he returned to the lake, seven or eight men had gathered in front of his house, and their eyes were full of hostility when they looked at him.
"Brother, you came here to fish without saying a word, you can't help but ignore us!" The leader of the eight is a bald head with a hideous scar on his forehead, which seems to have some stories.
"The eldest brother has misunderstood, the younger brother has lived here for a few years, but he was forced to leave for a few years, and he didn't visit you when he came back today, it's mine. Gan Ningyuan said with a smile.
Seeing that he showed weakness, the faces of several people became even more unkind, especially the scar's bald head, touched his unscathed head, and took two steps forward.
"Since you lived here back then, then I won't pursue it, but half of the fish you catch every day must be handed over to me, this is the rule. The bald head said coldly, as if he was giving an order.
"Big brother, the fish in this water are natural things, how can the fish I call be handed over to you. Gan Ningyuan knew that these people thought they had a lot of people, so they pressed him.
"Boy, don't be ignorant, letting you live here has already given you enough face. The bald head continued, this time viciously, saying that the green tendons on his neck rose up, and he had the meaning of doing it.
"This big brother, in the future, we will all be neighbors, and it will hurt and anger if we continue to talk about it, why don't we make a bet, if I lose, I will naturally pat my ass and leave, but if I win by luck, don't hand over half of the fish to you." Gan Ningyuan thought for a while and replied.
"What's the gambling method?"
"It's very simple, you can send five people at will, as long as you force me out of this circle, even if I lose. While speaking, Gan Ningyuan picked up a wooden stick and drew a small circle on the ground that could only hold two people.
In fact, he had already secretly looked at these people, none of them had martial arts, only a few big guys had brute strength.
"Boy, you're not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue. The bald head immediately called out five people, but he himself did not go, which means that he lost his identity by doing it himself.
Gan Ning saw that the other party agreed, but he just smiled and said nothing.
The five people each shouted and rushed out together, the small circle was already extremely narrow, and just these five people joined forces to push over, and they also forced Gan Ning far outside the small circle.
But this is not the case, I saw Gan Ningyuan's body twist slightly, his left hand reached out, and then he hooked his feet, and the two fastest people flew behind him, and with the help of his strength, they all fell heavily to the ground, so they were not embarrassed.
The other three wanted to stop their feet, but they rushed too hard at that time, and they were all thrown out by Gan Ningyuan.
The five people got up from the above one after another, reinvigorated their strength, and this time formed a joint encirclement, thinking that Gan Ningyuan's two fists were invincible to the four hands, and forced him out of the small circle under the sneak attack.
This time, Gan Ningyuan's fingertips quickly pointed, and he actually pointed at the waists of five people at a galloping speed.
The five of them fell to the ground and hummed, but none of them were injured.
At this time, everyone was really convinced, and the eyes that looked at Gan Ningyuan were less contemptuous than before.
