Sitting in the chair in the small courtyard of the fisherman's house, Zhuge Chen looked at the crane-haired man beside him and said: "Daoist friends go to Yunmeng, what do you want? Is it that the realm has encountered a bottleneck, and you want to seek happiness and break through the realm in that treasure land, or simply go out for a walk?"

The crane-haired man didn't answer, but asked instead, "What about you, Taoist?"

"It's both, but the former is a bit more. Zhuge Chen took the glass of water handed over by the fisherman, thanked him and said: "Therefore, I will not stay in Yunmeng for a long time, I will leave after staying for a month at most, and then I will have to separate from my friends." ”

When the crane-haired man heard this, he said softly: "When you meet, you will talk about separation, Taoist priest, your thinking is really strange." However, although it is sad, there is no banquet in the world. I only hope that the mountain is high and the road is far away, and there will be a chance to see you again in the future. ”

Late that night, it was drizzling at the port. To make the weather even colder, Zhuge Chen, who had stayed in Dayan for so long, said with a smile that this is called the cold spring, which is the most difficult time of the year. If it is a rich and noble family, it is better to say, fill the furnace with coal, and the whole house will be warm. Just put on a thin shirt and wait until the willow tree buds are in season. But if the family is poor, it will be really difficult. Whether you stay in a house with leaky air on all sides, or outside, the cold wind is through the bones, and that feeling is really worse than death.

The house they were in was in tatters, and the rain was dripping through the eaves. The two practitioners sealed off the whole room with a qi machine, so that they would not suffer with it.

It's not that the two of them don't want to pick a good house, it's just that the fishing village is too small, and there are only a few palatial houses, and they are all seized by other boat passengers. Fortunately, these two people are used to hardships and do not have the luxury of a perfect and comfortable life.

Zhuge Chen sat on the bed, leaning against the window, squinting to see the Xiaoxiao rain curtain. If it is in Dayan, where can it rain at this time, the eyes are full of goose feathers and heavy snow, which has a unique flavor. However, the rain gathers in the small pit, and the ripples on it are not bad. The pot of wine that had been warmed handed over by the crane-haired man also made his mood gradually calm down.

"Two, it's time to eat. The owner of the house, a fisherman who looked at his old age, pushed open the door and entered.

Zhuge Chen smiled and said, "Come on, let's rush over." ”

Behind the fisherman cowered a child, who was grizzled but with big shining eyes. He looked curiously at the two people in the room, and finally fell on the crane-haired man.

"Grandpa, I've seen the clothes this man is wearing. The child blurted out.

For some reason, a trace of horror suddenly flashed on the old fisherman's face, and he immediately gagged the child's mouth and scolded him sharply: "You child, what nonsense are you talking about? How many years have we been in our village, and there have never been any outsiders, or any clothes or clothes. If you really want to change into a fresh outfit, grandpa will find a way, nothing more than asking the village chief to borrow two silver coins. ”

The old fisherman then apologized to Zhuge Chen and said, "Two distinguished guests, I'm really embarrassed. The child is not sure to speak, so don't take it to heart. ”

Zhuge Chen smiled and waved his hand and said: "What is this saying from fellow countryman, not only will we not take it to heart, but we have to thank you." If it weren't for a room like yours to shelter from the wind and rain, the two of us would have to stand in the cold wind and drizzle tonight. I look very cute at this child, here are a few copper coins, fellow you can take them to buy clothes for the child to wear! The weather is also cold, and frostbite is not good. ”

Saying this, Zhuge Chen couldn't help but stuff the copper coins into the old fisherman's hand. Picking up the flask, he thought about walking outside the house: "I heard that the taste of sea fish is more delicious than that of lake fish, and I have never eaten it before, so it seems that I finally have the opportunity to taste it today." Fellow, we have a good wine with us, so come and drink some too!"

The old fisherman grabbed the copper coin in his hand, and only when he heard this sentence did he tremble his lips and agree. But in his heart, he was constantly hesitating whether to tell the other party the truth about the village. After all, both of them are rare good people, and he feels guilty if he attacks them. What's more, from the beginning to the end, he was forced to do so.

Gently stroking the hair of the child next to him, the old fisherman sighed and said in his heart: "For the sake of grandchildren...... I'll just remind you once at most. If it's not good yet, don't blame me. ”

......

The four of them sat around the table, Zhuge couldn't stop praising the delicacy of the fish, and even more praised the old fisherman's cooking skills. And joked that if he was not a Taoist priest but a wealthy official, he would have to ask the old fisherman to cook in his home.

Because he doesn't like the fishy smell of seafood, the crane-haired man has some difficulty swallowing the fish. However, the village is close to the sea, so it is impossible to farm, and there is only an inexhaustible supply of fish, so there are no vegetables on the table. Fortunately, there are many mustard seeds in the crane-haired man's mustard meat, but unfortunately for mortals, the consequence of eating these things is to explode and die, otherwise the old fisherman and grandson can also feast on it.

While eating, Zhuge Chen said: "Look at the small port where the ferry boat we took docked is very dilapidated, has there been no other ships here for many years?"

The old fisherman nodded and said, "Indeed, it was once very prosperous here. As long as you want to go to Yunmeng, the only way to go is here. It's just that for various reasons, new routes have been opened, and the small port has been slowly abandoned. Because there were no guests living in the village, the income was low, so I had to go back to my old business and go to the sea to fish. Fortunately, the sea is abundant and can fill your stomach, otherwise it would be difficult to survive. ”

Although the old fisherman excused himself in every possible way, Zhuge Chen still poured him a glass of wine. The child also wanted to join in the fun, but was stopped by Zhuge Chen's joke: "When you grow up, you can drink, but now you are still too young to get drunk if you don't get drunk?"

The child retracted his hand in the eyes of the old fisherman, and the old fisherman said, "It's been so long, you are the first guests, to be honest, I am very strange......"

There was still an overtone in the words, Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes, glanced at the crane-haired man, and did not speak. Both of them were meticulous people, and they immediately understood the old fisherman's warning. It's just that the village may be full of ears and eyes, so I can't talk about it.

"It seems that this village is not simple. The crane-haired man said to Zhuge Chen in his heart: "I have long had this feeling, and I never thought that it would be confirmed by the old fisherman. ”

Zhuge Chen said for no reason: "I'm afraid that the mind of the Taoist friend is not simple, right?"

After eating, Zhuge Chen walked out of the house, held up an oil-paper umbrella that he had been carrying among mustard seeds, and looked up in the rain. At this time, he could no longer suppress his realm, but deceived the eyes that might be watching him with a mirror. What caught his eyes was the black mist, the flickering strange sheen revealing all the strange. He looked back and said to the crane-haired man, but it was just a line of voices. At this moment, if someone can't hold back and wants to steal what he said, it will definitely attract his attention: "Daoyou, this demon hunter, has a childish face, it's really not simple!"

"Aren't you too?" the crane-haired man laughed and said, "If my guess is correct, you should have used a bamboo basket trick, right?"

Zhuge Chen nodded lightly, then turned his head, and said loudly: "Who is snooping on the side, hiding, why don't you come out to see it?"

He walked like a fly, swept straight into the depths of the jungle, and when he looked down, he found a man lying in the grass. There is a black mist on its body to cover its qi, no wonder Zhuge Chen didn't find it at the first time. The man saw that he was exposed, and he panicked. It's just that his realm is not prominent, and after a round, he was bound by Zhuge Chen.
