There are many reasons why horse-drawn carriages go slowly.

The horse is an inferior horse, and it is already old, but it is good to know the way.

Fifth Uncle Lu had already considered changing horses, but he always felt that the old man could go a few more times, so it was delayed again and again, and two or three years passed in the blink of an eye.

The road was mountainous, and it was a mountain road that almost no one walked except them.

The mountains seemed to be endless, and it was not easy to pass through a mountain beam, and when the road stood on a high place and looked out, they found that there were more mountain beams on the opposite side.

Although winter is coming, the climate in the south is warm, and except for a few deciduous shrubs, most of them are lush bamboo forests.

On this day, the convoy passed through a stream, and there was a roaring sound of water in the ears, and when a ridge was turned, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, and a snow-like waterfall poured out from the halfway point of a big mountain opposite, and the waves at the foot of the mountain were rolling, and the thick water vapor was felt in the distance.

"After crossing the river and climbing over the opposite hill, you can see the town of Fubo. ”

Fifth Uncle Lu pointed to the waterfall in the distance, and said with a happy look on his face.

More than ten days of Xiaoxing overnight, a few people seem to be isolated from the world, there will always be something called loneliness around everyone, seeing that they are about to arrive, everyone can not hide the joy in their hearts.

Lu Yi or three teenagers had already jumped out of the carriage and galloped to the river, first scooping water to wash their faces, and then giggling and drifting with thin pieces of stone.

Xiao Yu'er stood beside Uncle Lu and looked at the three carefree teenagers from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's still their age. ”

The fifth uncle laughed and said:

"You weren't any less mischievous at the time. ”

"Not naughty, where is worthy of that age. ”

Seeing the little fish with a nostalgic look on his face, Fifth Uncle Lu patted him on the shoulder.

Suddenly, a burst of singing faintly floated over, the voice was old, and it should be the most ordinary woodcutter tune in the mountains, with a low tone and frustration, but it had a kind of indifferent dustiness.

Lu Yi was the first to hear the singing, and when he followed the sound, he saw a figure in a robe, fishing on a large bluestone on the edge of the downstream of the deep pool.

Dressed in a straw hat, a slender green bamboo pole, the angler is singing leisurely, looking at the back, it should be an old man.

Lu Yi greeted the two partners, followed the stones by the water, and walked over step by step, and when there were still seven or eight steps away, he arched his hand:

"Old man!

The water was so loud that the old man couldn't hear it even after shouting several times.

Lu Yi's young man's temperament, he climbed up by himself, the big stone was covered with thick moss, and when he was about to reach the top, his feet slipped, and his figure fell rapidly, causing Lu Yiwen and Lu Xiaobo, who were standing below to look around, exclaimed.

Lu Yiqiang took a breath of true air, his toes were a little on a slightly protruding stone, and his whole body took advantage of the momentum to flip forward and landed steadily on the top of the stone.

When the road stopped, he found that the old man who was fishing was staring at him up and down.

The old man's snow-white hair, chubby figure, white and clean face, and a pair of small and round eyes look a little funny and cute.

Lu Yi clenched his fists a little embarrassed and said:

"I've seen the old man. ”

"Young man, what a handsome kung fu. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, a little trick to make you smile. ”

"Well, what's the matter with me?"

Lu Yi shook his head and said respectfully:

"There is nothing special, passing by here, hearing the old man's singing, and seeing you fishing, curious for a while, come to see, and hope that the old man understands. ”

The old man looked at Lu Yi curiously, and the look in his little eyes was a little curious:

"You don't know me, didn't you come to look for me?"

Lu Yi shook his head again, his expression calm.

"And you know how to fish?"

Speaking of fishing, Lu Yi is really a middle and high master, and besides, where is there a fishing village where there are people who can't fish? From the elderly, women and children, to at least the elderly, children, they grew up by the sea when they were young, and they always had a lot of harvest every day on the reef beach and wharf, and a thin fishing line hung with a fishing hook.

At this moment, Lu Yiwen and Lu Xiaobo climbed up with their hands and feet, and their bodies were slightly embarrassed Hearing the old man's question, Lu Xiaobo couldn't help but shout:

"Our Lu Yi is the number one fishing master in Lujia Village! Do you think he can fish?"

"Lujia Village, I haven't heard of it! I am also the number one master, and the young people nowadays are really big enough!"

Lu Yi shook his head helplessly, and he didn't need to introduce himself now.

The old man glanced at Lu Yiwen and the others, who were a little embarrassed, and looked at Lu Yiwen with a pouting and asked:

"Two braggarts are your friends?"

Lu nodded and replied seriously:

"It's my brother, and they're not bragging, I'm really good at fishing. ”

"Oh, would you like to try it?"

The old man lifted the fishing rod in the water and waved to the road.

"Try it!"

Lu Yi noticed that the old man's breath was calm and long, he should also be a person who practiced martial arts, and his face was kind, giving people a sense of peace, and he met in Pingshui, and he didn't ask for anything.

Therefore, the young man's strength to admit defeat rushed up again, took the fishing rod handed over by the old man, and looked up and down.

The old man stared at Lu Yi with interest and said with a smile:

"It seems that he is really a fisherman, not bad. ”

Lu Yiwen walked up to the old man with a big grin, patted the old man on the shoulder and said:

"That's nature, he is the first person in Lujia Village who has fished more than 40 catties!"

When Lu Yiwen's palm touched the old man's shoulder, there was a strange look in the old man's small eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and he looked at Lu Yiwen's clear and innocent eyes, and laughed instead:

"Groupers of more than forty catties, that are only found in the sea, young man, it seems that you have walked a long way!"

Lu Yiwen nodded, and echoed with deep feelings:

"It's far away and it's boring. ”

Lu Xiaobo coughed suddenly, and Lu Yiwen hurriedly put away the idea of continuing to chat, and stuck out his tongue at the old man.

The old man didn't care.

At this moment, Lu Yi opened his mouth and said:

"Uncle, please tell me what kind of fish you are catching in this deep pool?"

The old man became interested, walked to Lu Yi's side and asked:

"Is this still important?"

Lu Yi smiled and said:

"That's natural, different fish have to use different baits, and different fish are in different depths in the water, if you don't ask clearly, you will definitely get twice the result. ”

"Haha, little brother, it seems that you are really a master of fishing, come on, come on, tell the old man carefully!"

Lu Yiwen rolled his eyes on the side and said mockingly:

"In Lujia Village, five or six-year-old children know this. ”

The old man didn't care, and said happily:

"Young man, there are clouds in the book, and the master is the teacher, what's so strange about this. ”

Lu Yi glared at Lu Yiwen, who was unabashed, and the latter touched his head in disdain.

The old man saw Lu Yi's eyes and said open-mindedly:

"It's okay, it's okay, this little brother speaks innocently and straightforwardly, but it is very much to the old man's appetite. ”

Lu Yiwen clasped his hands to his chest proudly.

"Yiwen, you go and talk to the fifth uncle and them, we will camp around here in the evening, and I will accompany the old man to fish! I will invite everyone to drink fresh fish soup tonight!"

Along the way, more than ten days a few people have finished talking about the topic, the little fish really can't think of a fresh story, it is rare to meet an old man, but also fishing, the road is itchy, was aroused fishing addiction, naturally some do not want to go, anyway, they are not in a hurry, rest for half a day and do not delay anything.

"Gotcha!"

Lu Yiwen turned around and quickly slipped down the big rock, and jumped away.

The old man looked at Lu Yiwen's back, then at Lu Yi and Lu Xiaobo, and asked:

"You three little guys, you have all practiced good internal skills, and your future is immeasurable. ”

Lu Yi didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he didn't answer, squatted down, took the two bamboo tubes on the side of the old man's seat, opened the lid and looked inside, one bamboo tube contained dozens of earth dragons, and the other bamboo tube contained a dough with moderate hardness and softness, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

When the old man saw Lu Yi's expression, he ran over, and squatted down curiously and asked:

"You see, I have prepared two kinds of bait, the earth dragon is dug out by me, and the dough is made by me with good white wine, but it is really strange, the fish in the pool just don't know how to lift, and I haven't caught a single fish in the morning. ”

Lu Yi bent down, stretched out a hand, his fingers were cold in the water, and he quickly straightened up and smiled:

"The water in this pool is very fast and the water temperature is very low, and the fish in it should be a very tasty freshwater freshwater, but if you don't do it right, it's extremely difficult to fish. ”

The old man looked shocked and admiring, clapped his palms and walked around the road several times, his beard trembled happily, and finally stretched out his thumb and said in admiration:

"Little brother, you are really a master, hahaha, you are all right by you! My two old friends heard from my friend that there is a kind of fish in the cold pool behind Fubo Mountain, the largest is only two or three two, called Yinshuo, the taste is extremely beautiful, and they also said that the fish that I, a glutton, have eaten in my life are not as good as the taste of this Yinshuo! The old man dare not say that he enjoys all the glory and wealth, but it is delicious, and there are really few who have not tasted it!"

"So uncle, did you come over to fish?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't just run hundreds of miles to come, I just wanted to taste the silver barracuda here, this place is deserted, I looked for several days to find this place, I didn't expect the fish here to be not interesting, fishing for three days, not a single fish was caught!"

Lu Yi jumped off the big rock, came to the shore of the gentle gravel beach, lowered his head, and turned over the stones one by one.

The old man followed Lu Yi strangely, watching him twist an unknown water insect slightly larger than a mosquito fly with two fingers from under the turned over stone, and carefully put it into the bamboo tube that originally contained the dough.

"What kind of worm is this? Catch it and fish?"

"This freshwater fish is extremely vigilant and will only eat food from this river, so I think I can definitely find suitable bait here, and sure enough, I can find this water lice here, hehe, uncle, don't worry, I can let you eat this silver barracuda tonight!"

"Haha, if you can really let the old man eat this silver barracuda tonight, I will become brothers of the opposite sex with you!"

Lu Yi pursed his lips and said disdainfully:

"I've heard my mother say that if you become a brother of the opposite sex, you have to make the soil for incense, and you have to recite the incantation that you died in the same year and month, and I am only fifteen, so I don't want to worship you. ”

"This ......"

The old man's small eyes turned around and said with a wry smile:

"That spell can't be counted, little brother, you don't want to bow to me, hum, there are a lot of people waiting in line in the rivers and lakes. ”

In the end, the old man was triumphant again.

"I also want to see if I can catch this fish, and I want to eat fish from the sea every day, and I also want to taste what kind of delicious fish it is. ”

Lu Yi not only likes to eat, but also likes to cook, and always feels that the delicious food made by himself is particularly delicious.

Hearing Lu Yi talk about eating, the old man's eyes lit up, and he felt the same way as his lifelong confidant.

"That's it, fight and kill or something, where is the delicious food, let's go, you're almost done catching insects, let's go fishing!"

Lu Xiaobo also caught more than ten insects according to the gourd painting, and the three of them returned to the big stone, Lu Yi took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it, there were more than ten fish hooks in it, different sizes, thought about taking out the smallest one and replacing it, hung a water lice and gently threw it into the water.

The old man watched with relish, and squatted quietly beside Lu Yi, as well-behaved as a child.

Lu Yi did not fish like the old man, but the rod twitched rhythmically, and after a while, he felt the rod shake slightly, and then the fishing line was stretched straight.

The old man smiled and said:

"Hahahaha, little brother Luyi, you are really amazing! The old man is convinced!"

A fish that was slightly longer than the palm of his hand was pulled ashore by Lu Yi.

The fish scales are fine, the mouth is pointy, the eyes are red, and the fish god is slender.

Sure enough, it's like a silver shuttle!

"Good fish!"

Lu Yi sighed in his heart, the fish is not big, but it is fierce and powerful, and it is more urgent than the sea fish, and it has a different taste when fishing.

Lu Xiaobo plucked a few dog's tail grass from the weeds on the bank, skillfully used the grass to pass through the gills of the fish, and then put the fish in the river water next to a stone.

The old man kept rubbing his hands and urged:

"Don't stop, don't stop, keep going, where is this enough to stuff your teeth! Come on!"

Lu Yi smiled and continued to fish with a rod.

The sun is slanting in the west, and the forests are dyed.

More than 30 silver shuttles of different sizes were threaded into five strings by the dog's tail grass, and the three of them walked back from the edge of the cold pool with unfinished eyes.

Precisely:

Half of the sunset is red in the sky, and the blue waves and cold pools are rippling.

The green mountains and green people forget the old, and the silver shuttle delicacies are coveted.
