They scolded like that, and I slowly began to believe it. ”

Qiu Tongqi asked, "Can they really only live to be fifty years old?"

The old man said: "Without exception, half a hundred died." I don't know if I'm really immortal, but in my current situation, it will be a long, long time before I die. ”

Everything the white-haired man said was too absurd and bizarre, and it was difficult to accept Qiu Tongcoffin for a while.

At this time, the river was flooded again, and the fish floated.

The old man put away the rod and picked up the fish, and it was a red carp again.

Qiu Tongqi looked at the red on the back of the fish, stunned, if he hadn't seen the first fish that the old man had caught just now, he really couldn't believe that a person could catch the same fish in such a short time.

The old man carried the fish and shook it in front of his eyes: "Now you believe it?"

Qiu Tongcoffin muttered: "This is impossible, this is impossible." ”

A person can only catch the same fish in his life, and no one can believe it when he says it, let alone say anything about immortality, and he will die in half a hundred.

Seeing that the old man was about to release the fish back into the river, Qiu Tongcoffin said loudly: "Don't worry, why do you always have to put it back in the river, if you put it... If you eat it, then you can catch new fish, right?"

The old man smiled and handed him the fish, motioning for him to dispose of it himself.

Qiu Tongcoffin carried the fish and sighed in his mouth: "This fish is still really fat, if it is roasted now, it will be very delicious." ”

The old man silently wore bait and fished, Qiu Tongcoffin made a grilled fish rack with branches while lighting a fire, his hands and feet were clean and powerful, and he had to wait for him to eat the fish, after all, the beggar's temperament is like this, eat first when there is a meal, it doesn't matter whether the brain turns or not, when eating, there must not be a trace of distraction in the mind, otherwise it is the biggest blasphemy against the rice.

Soon the firewood had already burned the red carp to the ground, but the sky was not beautiful, the black clouds on the horizon condensed, and the thunder continued, as if it was going to rain.

The old man stared at the river and said, "It's about to rain, why don't you pack up and hide from the rain?"

Qiu Tongcoffin stood up and crossed his waist, looked at the sky, and then said very old-fashionedly: "This rain will not fall for a while and a half, even if it really wants to fall, this fish will be well soon, and if the fire is withdrawn at this time, the fish will be wasted." ”

Qiu Tongqi jumped to the old man's side with a thief smile on his face and patted him on the shoulder: "The fish I grilled is really the best in the world, one person and half for a while." ”

The old man shook his head: "I haven't eaten fish." ”

Qiu Tongqi exclaimed: "You haven't eaten fish? How is it possible, fishermen don't eat fish? You are really strange, so why do you want to fish?"

The old man said: "It's just fishing for fishing's sake." ”

Qiu Tongcoffin sighed: "I'll tell you, just tell me what you say, don't mutter, if you let others listen, you will definitely think that you are a wave of goods." ”

The old man said: "What is the wave urging the goods?"

Qiu Tongcoffin said: "The old beggar once taught me that if you don't eat food, you don't pick up, that's a wave of goods!"

The old man nodded as if he didn't understand.

Qiu Tongqi's nose moved, he took a sharp breath, and said happily: "The fish is good! As long as it smells like this, the fish will definitely not be wrong." ”

He took the fish from the shelf, and directly divided half of the fish to the old man, he took a bite of the roasted fish, the tender and smooth taste, it really made him want to stop, and even a little regret that he divided half of the fish to the old man, if he didn't eat a whole fish, he always felt a little indebted in his heart.

Qiu Tongcoffin ate deliciously, but the old man was completely unmoved by his half of the delicacy.

Qiu Tongcoffin hurriedly shouted: "You really don't want to eat it? ”

The old man waved his hand: "You can eat this half together in a while." ”

Hearing such good news, Qiu Tongqi's eyes were about to jump out of joy.

At this time, huge water bubbles suddenly surged on the surface of the river, and the sound of the water bubbles bursting on the water surface was like a cannon battle.

Immediately afterwards, a red-faced man came up from the face. The big man had long hair growing from the back of his head, and the sides were empty, and his upper body was naked, but the lower half of his body was wearing a pair of curtain armor.

The red-faced man ran all the way on the river, straight to Qiu Tong's coffin, and when he ran closer, Qiu Tongcoffin realized that it was a red face, which was clearly a face that was red with anger.

Although he didn't know why the red-faced man was angry, out of the nature of protecting food, Qiu Tongcoffin hurriedly hid the half of the fish in front of the old man's noodles into his arms, took two mouthfuls of three, and ate the fish in his mouth.

As soon as he finished eating, the big man had already come to the front of him, pinched Qiu Tong's chin, and shouted angrily: "Spit it out for Lao Tzu!"

This is very similar to the situation when other beggars were in the same coffin as Qiu. How could it be spit out when it came to his mouth, and the fish meat in Qiu Tong's mouth was not chewed, and he swallowed it directly into his stomach.

The red-faced man scratched his head angrily, and scolded in his mouth: "Good boy, you are really not taboo, you dare to eat causal fish?"

Qiu Tongqi opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, as if telling the red-faced man that he not only ate the fish, but also ate it very cleanly.

Unconvinced, he said, "What about the causal fish? I have also eaten crucian carp, carp and finless porpoise, but I have never eaten causal fish." ”

The red-faced man shook off Qiu Tong's coffin, squatted down and found some fish bones on the ground, held them in his hands, and cried and said to the fish bones: "Xiao Hong! Xiao Hong! You speak, you respond quickly!"

It's so good to die, at this time, Qiu Tongcoffin actually had a full burp, Qiu Tongcoffin's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "It... It should have been heard. ”

The red-faced man shouted and jumped up, and threw himself straight towards Qiu Tongcoffin, whose eyes were dark, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

A silver line flashed in the air, the old man threw up the fishing rod, caught the collar of Qiu Tongcoffin, just lifted Qiu Tongcoffin, and fished him back to his side steadily.

The big man stood up angrily, spit out the mud in his mouth for a long time, and yelled at the old man: "What do you mean, Lao Tao!?"

The old man sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and did not speak.

The big man muttered again: "Lao Tao! Xiaohong has been caught by you for hundreds of years, I don't know how many times, and the number of times I have seen you is probably more than all your grandsons, right? How can you be regarded as half of your little granddaughter? You are so cold-blooded, watching this kid spoil it." ”

The old man still fished his fish and practiced a closed-mouth meditation.

Seeing that the old man said not to move, the big man turned around and moved the knife on Qiu Tong's coffin.

"Xiao'er, do you know what the consequences will be if you eat the trapped fruit fish?"

Qiu Tongqi opened a pair of big eyes: "Yes. . Will you get fat? Such a fat fish will definitely gain more than ten pounds now. ”

The big man's face was as angry as a red-hot stove: "Fart!"

After the big man's chest rose and fell a few times, he slowly calmed down, and said with a sneer: "This causal fish is a creature of the Yin and Yin Realm, and mortals will gradually turn black when they eat it, and then their whole body will fester. ”

Qiu Tongcoffin raised his hand and said triumphantly: "Look, my hand... ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw that his hands slowly began to turn black, and then spread to his arms, Qiu Tongqi suddenly ripped off the clothes on his chest, and his chest also turned black.

His heart also thumped, and he kept patting his chest with his hand, as if he wanted to shoot off the black gas, but the speed at which the black gas spread faster and faster, and finally his whole face turned black.

If it is really as the big man said, then the next thing is that the whole body is festering, and Qiu Tongcoffin doesn't want to watch his whole body rot.

He looked at the old man with a frightened face, and slowly cried out two words: "Help... I. ”

But the old man, who was practicing the meditation of closing his mouth, still did not speak, but just fished wholeheartedly.

The big man laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, I want to see you pay a terrible price for Xiaohong's death! Xiao'er, do you regret it now? But it's too late! Then white smoke will come out of your body, and then your skin, your flesh, and your blood will all be mixed together, like a paste, and slowly flow down from your body! Hahaha!"

Dahan's first laughter was like a steel needle, piercing the most vulnerable place in Qiu Tong's coffin.

Qiu Tong wrapped his hands around his coffin, squatted down, shrunk into a ball, and trembled.

Suddenly, Qiu Tongxiang put his hand into his arms, threw the half of the fish that had just been left to the big man, and cried: "Give it back to you!

Dahan picked up the half of the fish on the ground, and said in a daze, "You didn't finish that fish?"

Qiu Tongcoffin cried: "Give it back to you, it's all back to you, I'll spit out the half I just ate to you!"

As he spoke, Qiu Tongcoffin put his hand in his mouth, ready to pick his throat, but after picking for a long time, he only spit out a puddle of sour water, and he didn't see any fish at all.

Dahan kept saying, "Why don't you finish it?" How can you not finish it, no, you have to finish it!"

The big man flew to Qiu Tongcoffin's side, pinched Qiu Tongcoffin's mouth with one hand, and was about to feed it to him, but Qiu Tongcoffin was willing to obey, constantly shaking his head and swearing to die.

The old man, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke: "Okay, everything that should have happened has happened, and forcibly changing the cause and effect will not benefit you." You want to kill him, but instead save him, which in itself is predestined. ”

The big man said puzzledly: "I save him? I.. Even if I cut off my hand, I won't be able to save him!"

The old man smiled: "If you don't come out of the water, he may have eaten the remaining half of the fish, right?"

Dahan sighed and threw Qiu Tong's coffin on the ground.

Qiu Tongqi hurriedly shouted: "You guys. . . What are you talking about? What half a fish can't eat? Old man, save me, I'm going to die!"

The old man stared at the river and didn't look back: "Don't worry, you can't die for the time being, this causal fish will die only if you eat one, but it's okay to eat half of it, it's just that your whole body is black." ”

Qiu Tongqi jumped up happily: "Haha, really? You didn't lie to me?"

Just half happy, Qiu Tongcoffin seemed to suddenly want to pour something, and asked angrily: "You just deliberately gave me that half of the fish? Do you want me to die?"

The old man's voice was calm: "Eating fish is your idea, it has nothing to do with me, I can't participate in your fruit, whether it is life or death, everything depends on your choice." ”

Qiu Tongqi scolded: "Nonsense! It's all nonsense! If you tell me in advance that this fish can't be eaten, I will starve to death, and I won't go to the idea of fighting this fish." ”
