Night.

The smell of grilled fish fills the small hut again.

Jin Man couldn't eat it anymore.

The two people lying on the plank bed couldn't eat anymore.

These two people, up and down, were wrapped in cloth bands, and only two eyes were exposed. There were also red blood stains on the cloth band.

These two people are Ziling and Bingyang, who are living under the mouth of the fish for the rest of their lives.

Jin Man sighed and said, "Grandma, I'll never see a fish again!"

Ge Ying was boiling herbs on the side, and sighed and said, "It's strange, I haven't heard of fish biting in this Qionghu Lake before." ”

The muffled Ergu spoke: "Water, strange. ”

When Jin Man heard this, he jumped up and shouted, "Ergu, you're too boring." You know that there are water monsters in this lake, why don't you tell us? Look at my little master, I almost fed the fish!"

Ergu was also a little anxious, and stammered to explain: "Water monsters, don't hurt, people." ”

Jin Man was even more angry: "It doesn't hurt people, it only bites, right?"

Ge Ying saw that Jin Man was angry, and hurriedly helped Ergu and said, "This kind of water monster is a sacred thing in the eyes of our Nuosu people. We don't hunt water monsters, and water monsters rarely hurt people. ”

Ge Ying glanced at the two Zi Ling who were lying on the bed, and continued a little apologetically: "This red fish only lives near the Qinglong Temple. I didn't know where you were going, so I didn't tell you. ”

Ergu interjected coldly: "Can't, rob, something." ”

Ge Ying listened to Ergu's words, seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, this kind of red fish has a special hobby. They like to collect shiny things. Did you take any of their stuff?"

"Something shiny?" Jin Man was a little puzzled, he touched his round head, glanced at the stone tablet he had pulled back with great difficulty, and asked, "Do you mean this?"

Jin Man stood up, dragged the stele over, and studied it carefully.

He looked at it again and again for a long time, wiping the mud off the surface of the stele with his hands.

The stele revealed its original appearance, and it was actually a piece of green jade!

After Jin Man wiped the surface of the green jade several times with his clothes, the green jade flashed a faint green light.

Jin Man took a breath and suddenly said, "Sure enough, it's a shiny thing!" Little Master, you have robbed the treasure of the red fish, no wonder they want to bite you!"

Ge Ying also said: "This kind of fish likes to dig holes under the water as their nests. Then, they like to pile up the shiny things they find in their nests. If you rob them of something, they may indeed fight with you. ”

Zi Ling and Bing Yang lay upright on the bed, unable to move, unable to speak, and unable to see their expressions.

This lay down for half a month.

Half a month later, Ziling and Bingyang were only removed from the cloth strips wrapped around their bodies, and they could barely get out of bed and walk around.

The first thing the two of them did after getting out of bed was to hold the stone tablet made of green jade and look at it for a long time.

"Sure enough, it is engraved with my departure exercises. Bingyang said.

"It's a pity that there are only a small part. Zi Ling sighed.

Bingyang blinked and said, "I know where the rest is. ”

Jin Man was curious and asked, "Where is it?"

"Have you forgotten what Ge Ying once said?" Bing Yang said with a strange expression on his face, "Red Fish likes to pile shiny things in their nests. ”

Zi Ling suddenly jumped up and said with a pale face: "Could it be that the upper part of the stone tablet is still in the nest of those strange fish?"

Bingyang nodded with difficulty.

Zi Ling waved his hand and said, "I won't go again anyway!"

Bingyang looked at Zi Ling helplessly: "I won't go either." ”

Jin Man was a little frustrated: "If you don't go, the stone tablet won't be available." ”

Bingyang blinked, looked at Jin Man, and said slyly, "That's not necessarily. ”

Jin Man was a little weak by Bingyang's staring, and said in a panic: "Why are you looking at me? Is it for me to go? I can't swim!"

Jinman's concern is justified.

Three days later, it was Jin Man who went into the water!

Jin Man was stuffed into a piece of armor made of bamboo strips.

Then, on his foot, a large stone was wrapped around him and thrown into the water.

He was upset.

He held his breath, and his round face quickly turned red.

He was quickly sunk to the bottom.

He dragged the stones and walked around the water with difficulty.

He discovers the legendary fish nest.

Not just one, but many.

There are many large circular pits at the bottom of the water. Inside each big pit, there are really all kinds of strange things.

The big red fish swam around the big pit, staring at Jin Man vigilantly.

Jin Man rummaged around the fish nest with a big grin.

Redfish gathered around dissatisfied, and began to frantically bite Jin Man.

Fortunately, the armor made of bamboo strips is strong.

But Jin Man was a little scared and immediately pulled the rope.

Zi Ling and Bing Yang, who were standing on the boat, quickly pulled Jin Man back to the water.

Zi Ling carefully inspected the armor made of bamboo strips, and then happily comforted Jin Man: "Don't worry, you are safe inside the armor!"

Without waiting for Jin Man to express his displeasure, he was ruthlessly thrown back into the water.

It went back and forth like this, tossing and turning for days.

Jin Man was very angry, he was simply tossed and lost a lot of weight.

However, he finally snatched the upper half of the stele back from the nest of the big red fish.

Jin Man became a great hero.

Ziling rewarded him with a whole fish meal.

Jin Man sternly questioned the sincerity of the little master.

.

.

The next day.

The three of Zi Ling waved goodbye to this magnificent sacred mountain and holy water, and said goodbye to Geying and Ergu, who were brave and guarded in this landscape.

Ziling was a little reluctant.

"Let's come here in seclusion in the future. Bingyang saw Ziling's reluctance and looked at her and said.

"No, my heart can't stand it, it's too exciting here. Jin Man immediately objected.

"If you don't agree, they throw you in the water and feed the fish. Bingyang viciously threatened Jin Man.

Jin Man fought a cold war, and quickly set up his sword light and broke through the air.

Only this vast landscape is left, hidden in the desert smoke waves.

Seclusion is probably a peach blossom source that is difficult to reach in everyone's heart.

From princes to commoners, tough as heroes, weak as rats, there will always be a thought of seclusion at some point.

Find a place where no one knows me.

Since then, the tired bird has returned to its nest.

From now on, don't stir up dust, don't ask the West and the East.

But when and where to live in seclusion?

But it is the answer that many people have been looking for all their lives.

Probably when you see all the prosperity and hardships, it will be the time of seclusion.

This may have become an excuse for those who are persistent, one after another, to fight the rivers and lakes again, and let the poor people be entangled in hardship and not suffer themselves.

Needless to say, seclusion must be a more important ultimate goal than fame.

The ordinary, as if, is more unattainable and elusive than the extraordinary.

Indifference often tests cultivation and people's hearts even more.
