"Moonlight, oh, shine on the ground, shrimp boy, you fall asleep obediently; Ming Dynasty grandma wants to rush to plant seedlings, grandpa drives cattle to go up the hill... The harvest of grains is piled up, and the old and young are full of joy~~~" There is a long and long old song from the Lan Lake, full of self-sufficiency and joy in the quiet.

The night sky is cloudless, white as washing, the stars are scattered and shining, and the upper moon hangs high in the middle. On the moonlit night on the lake, the two-leaf flat boat is moving slowly in the opposite direction of the lake. By the moonlight, it was seen that one of the boats was at the helm of an old man, and this ballad was sung by him.

The boat that was going in the opposite direction slowly approached it, and out of the cabin came a man in white, stopped at the bow of the boat, waved his hand to the old man and asked gently, "Old boatman, this ballad you sing is very good, I don't know what the name is, maybe you know it?"

"Haha~" The old man fixed the boat and replied, "The little boy praised it falsely." This song was made up by Xiao Lao'er himself, and it was very vulgar, and it was called a joke of the Fang family! As for the title of the song, Xiao Lao'er couldn't think of any good words, so he took the first prize and called it 'Moonlight'. ”

"'Moonlight'?" said the man in white softly, and then said to the old man, "Old boatman, are you going fishing?"

The old man who sang said with a smile, "Hehe, it's ugly time, I've collected the net this morning, and I've caught a few fish and a few mandarin fish, and I'm going back!"

"Oh, that's right! Xiao Kejiu smelled the lake fish and mandarin fish here delicious and boneless, elegant and sweet, and I wanted to buy a few to eat! Old boatman, can you give me a few tails?" said the man in white happily.

The lake is wide, spanning three counties, and there are many people in the vicinity who rely on the lake to make a living, among which they are ferrying, fishing, and making grass the most. These livelihoods are all work without capital, and the most important thing for ordinary people is strength, which is quite cheap with ferries, fish, and straw sandals. The old man was dressed in rags, and he wanted to come and his family was not rich, and when he heard that there were customers buying fish, he said happily, "Why can't this be?

"No need to bother, Xiao Ke has a lot of friends with him, if the uncle is reluctant, he will give me as much as he wants, how about it?" the man in white laughed loudly. Under the moonlight, I saw him standing at the head of the boat, dressed in white and snow, his hair was like black silk and his face was like a crown of jade, the breeze was blowing, his hair and clothes were swaying lightly with the wind, so he was described as handsome and handsome.

"The little boy is really handsome and kind-hearted! The little old man fishes in exchange for some money, so why is there anything to be reluctant to. There are nine tails of the Mulan Lake and six tails of the Jihua Mandarin Fish, all of which are one and a half to two catties, well, even if it is a penny of silver, okay?" the old man touched the slag, estimated it, and calculated the price of the goods according to the market price of sixty percent, and said.

The man in white waved his hands and smiled, "That's the best." There was a water tank at the stern of the boat, so I bothered to catch the fish. ”

The old man turned the boat around, lined it up with the boat where the boy in white was, fixed the boat with an anchor hook, and caught the fifteen fish one by one to another water tank.

"Old boatman, Xiao Ke will give you money!" Seeing that the old man finished the fish, the man in white saw a broken piece of silver the size of a fingernail from his waist pocket, and said to him.

The old man stretched out his hand to wash in the lake, wiped his clothes dry, and was about to reach out to receive the money, but when he got closer, he was stunned, and said in a serious voice, "Yo, this is not easy to do! You have three or four coins for this broken silver, and I, the little old man, can't redeem it!"

"Haha, old boatman, you are too worried! Xiao Ke has been playing in the lake for four days, and he has a lot of conversations with the fishermen here, and he knows that the lake fish and mandarin fish are not easy to find. Usually the big lake fish is only twelve or three taels, and your nine-tailed lake fish are more than a catty. This season there are fewer mandarin fish and they are harder to catch. The old boatman is the price of a penny of silver, how can Xiao Ke dare to take advantage of it? Please accept it!" the man in white smiled heartily, and took the silver grain in his hand and sent it to the old man.

The old man hesitated for a while, but he still stretched out his hands and took the silver grain. After thinking about it, he said, "Little boy, I listen to your accent like a foreigner." Can you stay here for a while? Little Lao'er can't take advantage of you in vain, these days, Xiao Lao'er's family will make a few more boats, catch more catches and send you more catches, to offset this extra money, okay?"

"Old boatman, old man, how did you take advantage of me. If you really don't want to go, I have some wine and food, and I'm bored eating and drinking, why don't you come and accompany me and gossip with me, how about it?" The man in white consulted with him, and when he saw the old man looking at the rough man who was rubbing the slurry on his boat, he seemed to have doubts, so he smiled and explained, "He is a small servant, and he is very stiff and old-fashioned, and he refuses to eat with me even after he has said everything." Seeing that the old man was a little moved, he said, "Xiao Ke likes to travel in the mountains and rivers since he was a child, and he is quite interested in local food.

The old man waved his hands and smiled, "Hehe, little old man is greedy!" The man in white made a gesture of invitation and led him up. An old man and a young man sat down on both sides of the small table in the middle cabin, and the old man looked left and right, feeling restrained.

"Old boatman, I have a jar of wine here, if I don't dislike the cold soup of wine, let's eat some wine and food! The man in white lifted a clay pot jar from the low table with his left hand, took a clay bowl and a pair of bamboo chopsticks from under the table with his right hand, placed the bowl in front of the old man, poured wine into it, and poured a bowl into his own bowl. For a while, the fragrance floated in the cabin, and the smell of wine was permeated. The man in white picked up the wine bowl and said to the old man, "Uncle, meeting is fate, you and I met by chance in the middle of the lake at night, and we were accommodated in the same cabin, it is really a division of thousands of years, why don't you drink a bowl?"

The old man trembled and picked up the wine bowl, and said with a smile, "This, it's very good!" The two bowls of "sonorous" touched, and each drank it all.

"This wine is so good!" a bowl of wine poured into his stomach, and the old man looked intoxicated, wiped the corners of his mouth, and sighed.

"Haha, good wine also needs to be accompanied by good guests to be interested. First of all, I ate alone, which was really tasteless and boring!" the man in white smiled, "Uncle, although the food is cold, I will eat some." Drinking on an empty stomach hurts your body!" After speaking, he took a mouthful of food and ate it.

The old man picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, "Little Lao'er lives a very rough life, and this wine and food are all very good!" After speaking, he took a piece of pig's ear from the dish in front of him and ate it.

The two were eating vegetables, drinking and chatting. From the abundant and poor years, the fertile fields, the cattle and mules and plough tools, and the people's customs and official governance, the two of them have questions and answers, and the more they talk, the wider they become, and they don't know that the East is white.

"Oh, it's so bright, the old woman is going to be worried! Little boy, the old man is bothered, can you leave it alone?" the two walked out of the cabin, and the fisherman and the old man began to realize that it was still not early, so he said.

"With Uncle Lao by his side, Xiao Ke is grateful. Uncle has something to do, please take care of yourself!" the man in white bowed and said. The old man of the fisherman thanked him, went to his boat, and set his way away. The rugged man who was carrying the boat for the white-clothed boy walked from the stern of the boat to the bow of the boat, and stood diagonally half behind him.

"Mu Wei, why does Dahua have such a rich and vast territory, and have such a vast and industrious people, but the people's livelihood is so difficult to rule?" said the man in white sadly, "I think of my country, located in the remote land of southern Xinjiang, with many mountains and few rivers and miasma everywhere, and natural disasters are constantly overturned. Why do the people of our country have to live in this wild land for generations?

"Young master, the Turkic country has been waiting for hundreds of years, and the success is in front of you! Mu Huan is willing to go to the soup for the young master and serve the dead!"

The boy in white stood on the bow of the boat, quietly looking at the boat that was far away, and was silent for a long time...

"Moonlight, oh, shine on the ground, shrimp boy, you fall asleep obediently; Ming Dynasty grandma wants to rush to plant seedlings, grandpa drives cattle to go up the hill... The harvest of grains is piled up, and the old and young are full of joy~~~" There is a long and long old song from the Lan Lake, full of self-sufficiency and joy in the quiet. The old man slowly departed and disappeared at the end of the lake in the morning mist.
