Chapter 24: The Legend of Chaohu Lake

The moon shines like water, and the earth is vast.

There was a blue silk soft sedan carriage in Luzhou City, and the man who drove the car was dressed in green clothes and was emaciated.

Da Kui and the Pan family agreed that when the chariot and horse traveled to Dahu Village south of Chaohu Lake, they would settle in the village, and that Dahu Village was where Mrs. Pan's maiden home was located.

Before Da Kui left, Zhu Shouren instructed Da Kui to 'hand' over the surrender and the roster to Mrs. Pan for safekeeping. If Da Kui made a mistake, he would not 'reveal' his intentions.

Da Kui knew the stakes well, so he locked the roster in a wooden box according to Zhu Shouren and 'handed it over' to Mrs. Pan. As far as Mrs. Pan was concerned, as long as she could be with her husband, it didn't matter where she went. As for Da Kui's identity, Mrs. Pan did not have any suspicions.

From the first time she saw Da Kui, Mrs. Pan knew that Da Kui was definitely not a villain. Pan Lei had made the news of the Quanzhou prefect, and Mrs. Pan knew it.

Zhu Shouren and his people are scheming, Yuan Ting and Ming are flattering each other, and they cannot offend each other. Da Kui's coming can be regarded as being reconciled from the middle. Zhu Shouren is from the trend.

The carriage and horses traveled to the north shore of Chaohu Lake, and there were already boats and boats arranged by Zhu Shouren waiting. Although the Yangtze River has river defense, Chaohu Lake is windy and 'waves'.

Da Kui, Mrs. Pan and her young son Pan Yue got on the big boat.Da Kui went to the bow of the boat.After the mother and son of the Pan family entered the cabin, the chariots and horses also got on the big boat.The white sails of the big ship were raised.Several captains set sail.

Chaohu Lake lies north and south for 800 miles, and through the moon's 'color', you can see that the lake's 'waves' are sparkling and vast like smoke.

The boat traveled for a while, and an island could be faintly seen in the lake.

Hearing this, the captain said with a smile: "The strong man doesn't know that this is Laoshan Island on Chaohu Lake."

Da Kui was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why is this island called Laoshan Island?"

The captain chuckled and said, "Since the strong man asked, the old man will tell a story." Speaking of this father-in-law, he told a legend: A long time ago, Chaohu Lake was a basin, there was a city called Chaozhou in the basin, one day, a fisherman caught a thousand catties of fish, and transported it to the city to sell it cheaply.

An old man couldn't help but be curious when he saw it, and walked up to Jiao Ma and Aunt 'Yu' and said: "This fish is my son, your mother and daughter don't eat his 'meat'. I am very 'excited'. I will definitely repay it in the future. There is a stone fish in front of the 'gate' in the east of the city. If you see the stone fish's eyes are red, it will be a great disaster. You need to leave Chaozhou as soon as possible." After the old man finished speaking, he drifted away.

After a few days, Jiao Madame really saw the stone fish at the 'gate' in the east of Chaozhou, and her eyes were red. Jiao Madam couldn't help but feel anxious. Ran through the streets and alleys and told all the people she saw to leave Chaozhou for refuge as soon as possible. Wait until all the people in the city were gone. At the critical moment, a little white dragon suddenly appeared in the air, and the little white dragon hurriedly cast a spell, grew three mountains in the lake, and lifted the lost shoes of his mother and daughter out of the water.

Da Kui couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, he also listened to his mother's stories when he was a child, and there were many myths and legends. The people of Li always spread the deeds of good people, which was also the desire of the people. After another moment, the captain of the boat said warmly: "Strong man, there is still a long way to go to the north shore, and the fastest may be until tomorrow morning.

Da Kui couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but in the cabin was Mrs. Pan and her son Pan Yue.

Da Kui immediately smiled and said: "Brother is too worried, I'm not sleepy......."

Seeing that Da Kui was not sleepy, he did not bother anymore.

When the sky was slightly bright, the boat had reached the ground, and several captains disembarked the carriage and horses. Da Kui immediately disembarked with Mrs. Pan's mother and son.

Pan Yue is only three years old, and he is very similar to Pan Lei. Although he is young, he is not naughty. Da Kui likes children. It should be said that as long as he is a man who is old and has no heirs, he will like children.

Dahu Village is located in the north of Chaohu 30 miles, the scenery is beautiful by the mountains and the lake, there are about 300 households in the village, there are nearly 1,000 men and women, old and young, this is already a big village under the rule of Luzhou, there are many people with high surnames in the village, there is a local custom, those who die at the end of their lives, their families must plant pines and cypresses in their burial place, in order to mourn their deceased relatives, this custom continues to this day, the hillside green space near the left of Dahu Village has been densely covered with evergreen pine forests in all seasons.

Therefore, the surname of Dahu Village is related to the green trees, and Dahu Village is also known as Gaolin Village.

Mrs. Pan's maiden family is one of the few people in the village surnamed Feng, who moved here from Shanxi decades ago.

At that time, Mrs. Pan's father fled here, and later learned to make a living by fishing with the local villagers, and then he got married here and settled down. Mrs. Pan's father, Feng Biao, only had such a 'daughter' under his knees.

Pan Lei was on a tour of the lake when he met Feng Biao, who fished for a living, although the age was different, but it was like old at first sight. Pan Lei was invited to Feng's house, and he took a fancy to Feng Biao's 'daughter' at a glance.

Because of Pan Lei's relationship, the Feng family is now a big local family, a big mansion in Sanjin, and a courtyard in the east and west.

Da Kui escorted Mrs. Pan's mother and son back to her parents' house.That night, Da Kui stayed in the 'gate' room of Pan's house.Da Kui was dressed as a subordinate.But he was a little condescending if he didn't live in the 'door' room.Mrs. Pan knew that Da Kui needed to be very careful about what he was going to do, so he didn't say anything to his father.

On the second day, Da Kui said goodbye to the Feng family, Feng Biao according to the meaning of 'girl', Ben 'wanted' to give the green horse pulling the cart to Da Kui to ride, but Da Kui politely refused, said goodbye to the Feng family, Da Kui went all the way to the south, and Pan Lei made an appointment for a month.

For today's plan, I can only take one step at a time, and I can only take one step at a time. Da Kui unfolds his foot strength and runs all the way to the south. Along the way, he encounters a slope and crosses the river.

Since his own accident, the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River have been full of sea fishing documents, and Da Kui's detectives have been out in all directions, but until now there is still no news.

From the Yuan Dynasty to the fourteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1277), there was a soldier and horse division in the boundary of Wuwei Prefecture, the people called it the Wuwei Army, and now the war in the south and north of the Yangtze River is imminent.

(In ancient times, it was different from today; in contemporary times, military subordination was to politics; in ancient times, military power was greater than politics; in ancient times, no matter how big an official was, without military power, it was a paper tiger.

Wuwei County set up the General's Mansion, and Dutton's main army was stationed in the county.

Da Kui entered the city, and saw that the small county town was already a barracks, but the ordinary people did not live in the city, so when I looked at the streets, except for the patrolling Yuan soldiers and generals, there was not a single common man.

Fortunately, these soldiers have a good temper, and they just punch and kick when they speak. If they meet someone with a bad temper, they are afraid that they will 'dew' the stuffing.

If you want to enter the city during the day, it will be even more difficult. Da Kui went out of the city to find a place where someone could live in peace, and then he thought about a plan at night.

Although Da Kui was resentful in his heart, he could only settle down in this empty and dilapidated village.

Although the four fields are barren, but Da Kui has reached two hares with the skill of flying stones, and returned to the village to find the broken pot and fire sickle.

There is nothing lacking in the village, that is, there is no shortage of grass. Da Kui found some hay, found a sheltered hut, laid the hay on the wooden bed, and then fell on the grass bed, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Out of the house to identify the direction, and then think about Wuwei county gallop away, just arrived at the west of the county 'gate', actually saw a team of horses from the east from the distance, it seems to be a dart board of the dart game, but in the distance can hear the laughter of the 'woman'. Da Kui was curious, so he secretly followed the back of the convoy, until he was about to enter the city, he didn't understand that this is the dart team, but it was a group of Qinglou courtesans from nowhere.

There is a way to be full of thoughts of 'lewdness'.' This Wuwei County has now become a barracks, and the generals stationed here are also ordinary people.

Da Kui was worried that he couldn't enter the city, and when he saw this convoy, he immediately thought about it........
