The old man snorted coldly and said, "What Yangjia Village, this is Lingyin Village!"

When Luo Xiaotian saw the old man's appearance, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask why. The old man of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info obviously didn't like the name Yangjia Village, or rather, the older generation in the village insisted on calling this place Lingyin Village.

The old man sighed again and said, "The unfilial children have forgotten their roots." I forgot my roots!"

As he spoke, the old man shook his head and stopped talking about the topic.

Luo Xiaotian pursed his lips, he had heard of the origin of this village.

It is said that many years ago, there was a great danger in this village, and in this lake, there was a fish, the most ordinary carp. However, it has lived for many years and has become a sperm. Some people even say that the carp is about to cross the dragon gate and turn into a real dragon.

One day, the fish came out and made a big storm here. The village was to be submerged, but at this time, a Taoist priest came to the village, called Lingshang Taoist. He tried his best to seal the king of fish in the lake, and he also died of exhaustion.

In order to commemorate the Taoist priest, the people of the village renamed the village Lingyin Village.

Now, the village has been renamed Yangjia Village, but many old people in the village are dissatisfied.

But legends are just legends, not to mention how an ordinary carp became a fine, let's just say that the terrain here, even if all the water in this lake is extracted, it will not be able to flood the village. The terrain of this lake is too low.

The fishing rod in the old man's hand suddenly moved, and it seemed that a fish had been hooked.

But I didn't see the old man pull up the fishing rod for a long time, and Luo Xiaotian looked at it for a long time, thinking that the old man was asleep.

Finally, when the rod stopped moving, the old man pulled the rod up. But when he saw that the hook was empty, he was eaten up by the fish and fled.

Luo Xiaotian opened his mouth and said, "Old man, you can't catch fish like this." ”

But the old man did not listen, as if he was accustomed to not being able to catch fish, so he hung new bait on the hook and threw the hook into the water.

Luo Xiaotian pouted, this is really feeding the fish.

But I heard the old man say, "Why do you want to catch the fish?"

Luo Xiaotian was stunned.

"I'm fishing for fun, not to eat or hurt fish. Why do you want to catch them?" continued the old man.

Forehead...... It feels so reasonable, Luo Xiaotian doesn't know how to refute.

However, even if you enjoy fishing, if you don't catch fish, where is the fun?

The old man said slowly: "I fish for fun. What are you fishing for?"

Luo Xiaotian said: "Of course, it's for eating fish. If you don't have money, you can't buy food, so you can only fish and eat it. ”

The old man nodded, and said, "Since it's for satiety, don't hurt the other fish." Enough to eat, enough is enough. You've got enough fish, go put away your fishing traps. ”

Luo Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man suspiciously.

But I saw that the old man took back the fishing rod, and the bait on it was gone, and there was still no fish on the bait.

Wang Ni stretched out her head and looked into the trap, her voice was as loud as a mosquito, and said to Luo Xiaotian: "Fish, there is." ”

Luo Xiaotian felt a little strange in his heart, normally, it is difficult to catch fish in such a trap without an afternoon. Is it because of the fish in this lake?

looked at the old man again, but saw that the old man had already put away his things and was ready to leave.

Luo Xiaotian didn't plan to catch many fish, just enough to eat, and saw that there were already three big fish in the trap, so he went to put the trap away.

Wang Ni also went over to help Luo Xiaotian collect the trap.

After collecting the trap, the little girl looked up at the middle of the lake with a sense of feeling, and she seemed to see a huge scale falling into the water, rippling in circles. But when I rubbed my eyes and looked, I couldn't see the huge silver scales, nor the ripples. The surface of the lake is still calm.

Luo Xiaotian gently patted the little girl's head: "Don't rub your eyes with dirty hands." ”

Wang Ni nodded, and looked up at the center of the lake again, but she couldn't see the previous scene again, it seemed that it was just an illusion.

At this time, Luo Xiaotian said strangely: "Eh, what about that old man, and he was going to give him a fish to take back to eat, why did he disappear so quickly?"

Wang Ni looked up at this Luo Xiaotian and shook her head.

Luo Xiaotian pouted: "Forget it, we'll eat it ourselves if we don't see it." I didn't eat anything in the morning or noon, so let's eat more in the evening. Well, I'll go to the shopkeeper and borrow it from the kitchen later. If he doesn't provide food to the guests, he has to eat it himself. He should have something to cook in his kitchen. Nini, gone. ”

Luo Xiaotian beckoned Wang Ni, not understanding why Wang Ni kept looking at the center of the lake, as if she was looking for something again.

Wang Ni couldn't find the silver scales she had seen before, so she gave up and helped Brother Xiaotian carry a big fish, so she followed and walked to the town.

After Luo Xiaotian and Wang Ni left, the calm center of the lake suddenly rippled in circles. A silver scale floated out of the middle of the lake, as light as nothing, and the silver scale floated into the air, and then fell towards the shore, and landed at the feet of a man.

The scales fell to the ground with a faint halo, and then the scales began to deform into a silvery carp.

The carp was jumping and trying to get back into the water.

The old man sighed softly, picked up the fish, and put it back in the water.

He took out his rod and hung it with bait, to fish, or rather, to feed the fish.

"That's just a remnant of its soul, so why waste your time here?"

The old man didn't look back, and he didn't have to look back to know who was behind him.

"Aren't you the same?" said the old man, "and I'm the only one wasting my time here?"

The shopkeeper's silence.

The two have known each other for a long time, and they are two people who share the same disease.

After a long time, the old man took back the fishing rod, loaded it with new bait, and continued to feed the fish.

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "I'm leaving." ”

The old man made a movement in his hand, moved the fishing rod again, and said, "You...... Have you given up?"

The shopkeeper's face showed a look of pain, and he said, "Why give up? I never had hope. ”

The old man was silent, back then, the man had said that only one of the two of them could fulfill his wish. However, it is not him who is most likely to succeed, but the treasurer. But now, the most promising people are giving up.

The shopkeeper crouched down and grabbed his head, full of pain.

It took a long time for the shopkeeper to raise his head and say with a firm face: "I will forget her." ”

“...... But you haven't forgotten her. ”

The old man lifted the fishing rod, and the bait had been eaten.

"You...... It is impossible to forget her. It's like I can't forget this fish. She is a fish, you are water, and without a fish, you are dead. ”

The shopkeeper suddenly laughed miserably, and said with a pale face: "All these years...... Am I still alive?"

The old man's face changed suddenly, he looked back at the shopkeeper, and said solemnly: "You...... Already ......"

The shopkeeper suddenly tore open his clothes, revealing his chest, but saw a blood-colored line on his chest, which was not painted, but carved out with a knife, little by little. There seems to be a strange power on it, so that the wound cannot be healed, but there is no blood flowing out.

The shopkeeper laughed miserably and said, "There is no turning back." ”

The old man looked at the blood-colored lines on the shopkeeper's body, with this thing, then, what the shopkeeper wanted, he would never be able to get. Even, will lose more.

The old man sighed, "Why do you bother? You know...... Those things will only be destroyed. Eventually, you too will be destroyed. ”

The shopkeeper closed his clothes, his face gradually became normal, and said, "However, I don't want to wait any longer. After waiting for so many years, Luo Tianzong still refused to make a move, and it was impossible to make another move. And I went to the highest place and raised my wife from the dead. ”

The old man shook his head and sighed, waved his hand behind him, and said, "You go, I won't tell others." You...... Shape up or ship out. ”

The shopkeeper said, "No, I am not afraid of anyone. No one can stop me, no one can destroy me. I'm going back, and no one can stop me. ”

The old man was silent for a long time, and then Cai said, "That kid...... You got it?"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly and said, "There are not many people who know, even among the other seven sects, there are not many people who know what happened to Luo Tianzong. You don't have to worry, I won't tell you what happened in Luo Tianzong. Hmph, in such a sect, there is only one child left to support alone. How long will it last? I don't need to say, sooner or later it will be discovered. ”

The old man sighed again, shook his head, and didn't want to speak.

The shopkeeper was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I'm here to say goodbye to you, maybe ...... We will never see each other again. And thou shalt guard here the prophecy which has become empty words, and guard it yourselves. When those two children are gone, I will be gone. Farewell. ”

With that, the shopkeeper turned around and left without hesitation.

Only the old man was left alone, fishing.

After a long time, night fell. The old man raised his head and looked at the bright moon, which was extremely round, and it was already the most complete time.

The old man's body suddenly began to melt, turning into a stream of water, which melted into the lake without the slightest disharmony.

The old man is this lake.

In the middle of the lake, there seemed to be a sigh, like the sigh of the old man.

――――――――

The moonlight is very good.

Luo Xiaotian looked up at the moon.

According to the time, in this world, it should already be August 15.

Mid-Autumn Festival......

However, there is no such thing as the Mid-Autumn Festival in this world.

Moreover, Luo Xiaotian didn't have moon cakes to eat, so he could only nibble on grilled fish to admire the moon.

In the end, Luo Xiaotian couldn't find cooking tools in the inn, and he complained in his heart, doesn't this shopkeeper need to eat?

So, in the end, he could only grill three fish. Except for one fish on the ground, which was completely black, the last two were ...... There is no total black. Eat slowly, you can still find the cooked part.

Luo Xiaotian can only admit that he really doesn't have the talent to barbecue, and he can still eat other foods when he cooks some other food.

Of course, just to be able to eat.

Wang Ni looked at the moon in the sky with flickering big eyes, and leaned in front of Luo Xiaotian, her big eyes flashed with doubt: "Brother Xiaotian, why do I want to look at the moon?"

Luo Xiaotian gently rubbed the little girl's hair and explained, "Do you remember the story I told you about Chang'e running to the moon?"

Wang Ni's eyes flashed and she nodded.

Luo Xiaotian pointed to the moon and said, "This is the Mid-Autumn Festival." Today is the time when the moon is at its fullest, so I want to come to enjoy the moon. ”

Wang Ni thought about it with her little head, raised her head again, and asked, "But, didn't Brother Xiaotian say that you should eat moon cakes and admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Forehead......

Luo Xiaotian thought about how to answer.

Finally, he slapped the little girl's little head and said, "It's not early, go back to sleep." ”
