Under the cover of the fisherman's fishing net, dozens of exhausted carp were immediately trapped in the net. The green tendons on the back of the fisherman's hands have burst out one by one, the soles of his feet make a sound of rubbing, and the originally straight back has been arched, and it is the fisherman who is struggling to collect the net.

Although the carp in the net were on the verge of exhaustion, they were caught in the net, and they all tried their best to ram the net and try to break through the siege.

The fisherman's net was very fruitful, and although it was difficult to collect it under the struggle of the fish, a smile was already evident on his wrinkled, swarthy face. The harvest of this net has at least dozens of fat carp, which can be sold in the market for 2 taels of silver, and then buy back four piglets, and after autumn, a pig can be exchanged for ten loads of rice.

Long Xiaoyao had already come to the fisherman's side at this time, watching the fisherman pull the fishing net out of the water with great difficulty. It's not that he doesn't want to help, but he's just a powerless scholar, and I'm afraid that even if he does, it will be a disadvantage.

Nearly half a cup of tea, (one cup of tea is equal to ten minutes) the fisherman dragged the fishing net ashore with difficulty, and the fisherman did not care about fatigue, and hurriedly put the carp in the fishing net into a huge fish basket one by one.

Long Xiaoyao saw the golden carp at a glance, and at this time, it was also beating helplessly and struggling in the fishing net. The reason why Long Xiaoyao came to the shore was to see if the golden carp was caught in the fisherman's net. He looked at the golden carp, and suddenly felt that the golden carp's eyes were like human eyes, which seemed to contain unwillingness and stubbornness.

Long Xiaoyao suddenly felt that this golden carp was just like himself, knowing that it was impossible to cultivate immortals, but he still insisted on not giving up. He had a strong sympathy for the golden carp, took out 20 copper coins from the money bag around his waist and said, "Uncle Zhang, can you sell me this golden carp?"

The fisherman also knew Long Xiaoyao, since the Long family became the richest man in Longmen Town, the people of the Long family were too high-minded, and they no longer disdained to associate with the poor people in Longmen Town. Only this son, who was called a waste by the Long family, maintained a polite attitude towards everyone, so this fisherman also had a good impression of Long Yao.

In this season, a carp can only be sold for 5 copper plates in the market, and the golden carp is scarce, although it can be sold more, but it will not reach 20 copper coins, so the fisherman said: "Xiaolong, you don't need so much, ten copper plates are enough." ”

Without further ado, Long Xiaoyao stuffed all 20 copper plates into the fisherman's hand, and then leaned over and picked up the golden carp from the fishing net.

The golden carp, which was originally struggling, seemed to have no strength at this time, and only twisted its body slightly in Long Xiaoyao's hands, but those radiant eyes stared directly at Long Xiaoyao.

Long Xiaoyao cautiously held the golden carp and said to the golden carp, who didn't understand human language at all: "Little carp, don't you know that no carp has ever been able to jump onto the dragon gate? In the future, you should be careful not to be caught by others. ”

After speaking, Long Yao gently put the golden carp back into the river. The fisherman was stunned when he saw this, he didn't expect that Long Xiaoyao spent 20 copper plates to buy the golden carp, but it was just to release it.

However, the fishermen were busy picking up the remaining carp in the nets one by one into the basket. The usual behavior of the son of the Long family is strange in the eyes of the fisherman, no matter what Long Yao does, he will not surprise the fisherman, but thinks that it is just a rich man's ruined behavior.

The golden carp was released back into the river, and instead of immediately moving away, it swam around the shore and jumped up from the water, bobbing its head and tail in the air, as if nodding and thanking the dragon.

Long Xiaoyao waved at the jumping golden carp and said, "Little golden carp, you don't have to be polite, you have to take care of yourself in the future." ”

The golden carp seemed to understand the dragon's words, and swam around the water again, and then swam into the distance. At this time, the fishermen also put all the carp in the nets into the basket. He had already caught two nets of fish, but now that the two large fish baskets were full, he put away the fishing nets, carried the two heavy fish baskets on his back, and went home happily.

The fishermen of Longmen Town are very simple, they are not greedy, although Longmen gathers a large number of carp, but they only make two baskets a day. Maybe they don't know what it means to fish with all their might, but they know that if they catch the carp this year, there won't be so many carp for them to catch next year, and beyond.

After another meal, the other two fishermen on the shore also returned with a full load, and the noisy riverside had regained its calm, and only the sound of surging water could be heard in the ears. Long Xiaoyao picked up the book again, turned back and walked back to the dilapidated pavilion where he had been reading, intending to read the rest of the content before dark.

But at this moment, Long Xiaoyao suddenly found that the golden carp that had just been let go by himself had returned to Longmen Waterfall and rushed upwards with difficulty.

The golden carp's path this time became like a folding ruler, its body twisted and swayed, and one tail kept swinging vigorously, sometimes out of the water, and the scales on its body shimmered like gold in the sun.

Long Xiaoyao put down the book in his hand, unconsciously took a few steps forward, stared straight at the golden carp struggling in the Longmen Waterfall, couldn't help but shook his head slightly, and said to himself: "Hey, what a tenacious little guy, he actually came up with a way to fold the line, but the leaping dragon gate is just a legend, but you are still so persistent, I really don't know if you are smart or stupid!"

At this time, the golden carp has risen more than half of its height, but with the upward movement, the strength of the golden carp continues to be consumed, and its upward speed is getting slower and slower, and it is becoming more and more difficult.

Although Long Xiaoyao thought that the golden carp would not be able to jump onto the dragon gate at all, he still hoped that the golden carp could succeed in his heart, just like he still fantasized about becoming an immortal cultivator to this day, although he knew that there was almost no possibility, but in his heart he never gave up, and always looked forward to a miracle to come one day.

After half a cup of tea, the golden carp came to the position where he was exhausted last time. This time, the golden carp did not stop because of the twists and turns, and reluctantly marched up half a foot again.

But the golden carp can only do this, it has once again lost the strength to move forward, although it is still stubbornly swinging its golden tail, but it is difficult to move forward.

This time the golden carp did not hesitate, it suddenly jumped up, its body jumped out of the water, the golden body twisted and swung in the air and flew upward, at this time it was already like a golden bird, it was about to fly over the dragon gate in front of it.

Long Xiaoyao's heart also rose with the golden carp, and his hands clenched his fists nervously, as if he was also helping the golden carp to exert his strength. This time, the timing of the golden carp jumping was just right, and it jumped onto the dragon gate like a skyrocket.
