Chapter 44: Fishing Alone in the River

The two Yin cha hurried all the way, and after returning to the Yin Division, they looked at the Chenghuang of Jinghai County who was sitting on a high position, and the two of them hugged their fists and said: "Lord Chenghuang, the two of us just toured Jinghai County, and found an edict in a family's house, and I came to report it, I don't know if it was left by the master who ordered the investigation by the adult." ”

"Oh, the edict, you two are not mistaken?" asked the city god of Jinghai County, looking up.

"That's right, the edict is flowing above the rhyme, and we can't look at it directly. The two replied.

Chenghuang of Jinghai County pondered for a moment, and then said to the second judge of civil and military: "You two go with me to see if the edict is true or false." ”

The second judge of civil and military affairs bowed down, and then said to the two parade yincha: "You two lead the way." ”

A group of five people walked through the streets and alleys and came to the tavernkeeper's house, and then the five people saw the rice paper lying on the table, Jinghai County Chenghuang's eyes shrank, and said secretly: "Sure enough, it's an edict!"

Jinghai County Chenghuang stood aside with his eyes closed and pondered, while the second judge of civil and military affairs looked at the rice paper on the table, and there was a flash of amazement in his eyes, even if the two of them saw this kind of treasure, they didn't see much, let alone watch it so closely.

After half a ring, Jinghai County Chenghuang opened his eyes and sighed: "Such a master comes to my Jinghai County, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?"

When Wen Juan heard Chenghuang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My lord, are you worrying too much, look at this edict, the rhyme of the Tao flows, and there is also a vast immortal aura hidden in it, not like it is written by a treacherous person." ”

Jinghai County Chenghuang sighed and said, "I hope so." ”

Then, as if thinking of something, with a wave of his sleeves, a mana was struck, enveloping the entire room, and then the sleeping tavern owner felt a chill in his body, and then woke up leisurely and turned around, his eyes swept the room, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Who are you?"

It was obviously dark all around, but he could see the five people in Jinghai County clearly, so he hurriedly asked.

Jinghai County Chenghuang put his hands behind his back and said to the tavern owner: "I am Jinghai County Chenghuang, how did you get this ink treasure on your table?"

When the tavern owner heard this, he hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, looked at the five city gods, and sure enough, he saw that three of them were quite similar to the three golden bodies in the city god temple, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Meet the city god master." After a pause, he continued: "That ink treasure was left by a drinker today. ”

The tavern owner told the story of what happened during the day, and after listening to it, Jinghai Chenghuang was silent for a while, and said, "Do you remember the appearance of that gentleman?"

The tavern owner thought back for a moment, but he couldn't recall Mo Chen's appearance, and could only recall that the guest official was extraordinary, polite and reasonable.

Looking at the appearance of the tavern owner, the five city gods knew that they should not remember the appearance of the master, Jinghai city god sighed, and was about to speak, the tavern owner seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "The guest officer seems to say that his surname is Mo, as for the appearance, the little old man really can't remember." ”

Jinghai Chenghuang nodded, and then said, "The ink treasure left by that gentleman is a treasure, so you must treasure it." ”

After speaking, the figure flashed, the figure of the five disappeared, and the tavern owner kowtowed a few times on the ground again, trembling and returned to the bed, secretly thinking that it was time to go to the City God Temple tomorrow to put incense, and then thought of the Mr. Tsing Yi in the daytime, and fell asleep after a long time.

Mo Chen practiced for a night, and after getting up in the morning, he left the inn and walked around Jinghai County at random, looking at the Huangzhu River not far away, and muttered to himself: "Near the riverside, if you don't go fishing, you can't say anything." ”

I bought a few buns at a stall, then came to the Huangzhu River, bought a fishing rod and bait, found a shady place, threw out the fishing line, and then put the fishing rod aside, took out "Travels in the Mountains and Seas" and read it, and then took out the remaining jade elixir from last night, while reading and drinking, while waiting for the fish to take the bait.

At noon, Mo Chen looked at the fishing rod that was not moving, shook his head and smiled, and was about to take out the buns for lunch, when an old voice with a slight accent came from his ears: "This gentleman, you can't catch fish here." ”

Mo Chen turned his head to look and saw an old man about fifty years old standing three meters to his left, not tall, dressed in sackcloth, with white hair and white beard, looking at him with a smile at this time.

"In the next fishing for the first time, I also asked the old gentleman for some advice. Mo Chen stood up and hugged his fists with a smile.

The old man in Mai replied: "Sir, you are polite, the main reason is that there are a lot of passenger and cargo ships anchored on the riverside, and the fish on the riverside are scared away, if you want to fish, you still rent a small boat and go to the depths of the Huangzhu River to fish." ”

Mo Chen looked down, and sure enough, some passenger and cargo ships on the riverside shook and rippled, Mo Chen sighed secretly, but he didn't care about this detail.

Seeing Mo Chen's appearance, the old man in Mai smiled and said, "Sir, I have a small boat here, and the rent is only twenty yuan a day." ”

When Mo Chen heard this, he glanced at the old man funny, but he didn't expect it to be sold to his own family, so he immediately picked up the fishing rod on the ground and said, "Okay, Mo will rent it for five days." ”

When the old man in Mai heard this, a smile appeared on his old face.

......

Mo Chen stood on top of a small boat, looked left and right, and really lived up to the name of the boat, except for him, there was no more person who could not squeeze it, shook his head and smiled, picked up the big oar placed in the stern, and learned from the fishermen around him to shake the oar, shook it, and suddenly the boat moved forward, Mo Chen seemed to have found some interesting toy, and kept shaking the big oar in his hand, which was very interesting.

The surrounding fishermen looked at the appearance of this Mr. Sven, and they all let out bursts of good-natured laughter, Mo Chen also laughed, shook the big oar, and rowed towards the depths of the Huangzhu River, half an hour later, looking at the empty river around him, Mo Chen threw out the fishing line again, looking forward to whether he could catch a fish for a while.

Time slipped away inadvertently, and at night, Mo Chen looked at the Wupeng built on the boat for people to sleep, and said to himself: "It's not bad to sleep on this river for one night." Then he took out the leftover buns, shook the remaining about one-third of the jade elixir in the wine jug, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the river while eating.

At this time, there are already several huge painting boats on the river in the distance lit up with lanterns, with extraordinary ear power, you can hear how lively the sound on the painting boat, Mo Chen turned his head, looked at the full moon of the stars reflected on the river, took a sip of wine, and suddenly understood the meaning of the sentence "I don't know that the sky is in the water when I am drunk, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy".

Suddenly, Mo Chen's heart moved, poured the remaining jade elixir in the wine pot into the river, and said with a smile: "Mo Mou didn't get any harvest after a day of fishing, and finally attracted you little guy." ”

As soon as the words fell, a carp still with a little smell of wine jumped up in the river, jumping from the left side of Mo Chen's boat to the right, stirring up a splash, and by the moonlight, the golden scales on the carp's body could be seen clearly.
