There are also many families in the lower reaches of the Sanmen River. Although they are far from the scale of villages and towns, they are still much richer than those in the villages at the foot of Nangong Mountain. Most of them have been fishing for generations. Although It's a bit harder, but the money you earn after hard work is really quite a lot, not to mention that it's quite hard to earn this money. In addition, every time there is a flood, you have to resist the torrent of the river. In a dangerous situation, it is a lot of relief to be able to support a family and a small family.
Moreover, if one is lucky enough to catch the old fish king that is always wandering back and forth in the river but is rarely seen by anyone, he can be an ordinary fisherman and fly to the branches, buy a mansion in an ordinary city, build a store, and never see the fish again. There is no need to cast a net in the middle of the river looking for fish all day long with sore legs that are heavy with moisture.
There are thousands of professions, most of which are nothing more than pursuits and expectations, life is the foundation, and success is the peak, it is nothing more than this.
The same goes for Xu Yi, whose parents made a living in the Sanmen River for half their lives. In his spare time, he always thought that one day he would be able to fish out two king fish from the Sanmen River that had been flowing for thousands of years; the smaller one would be sold to The dignitaries seeking auspicious omens, the slightly larger one, wanted to dig a canal to raise it themselves. After marrying a wife and raising children, I can brag to my descendants that my father started his business with two fish kings and bought such a nice mansion. It would be better to add more details and talk about the troubles it took to conquer the fish kings. , I have never walked on the river in vain in this life.
However, the Sanmen River has turned around thousands of times, and the fishery has been around for hundreds of years. The fish king at the bottom of the river is caught only six or seven times. Even though Xu Yi boasts that he is very lucky, he wants to take advantage of the fish king Qingyun. , easier said than done.
So Xu Yi, who was nearly 20 years old and industrious, still had not married a wife. She was so worried that her father's temples turned gray, but she still had to hold on to her shaky waist and legs to go fishing, which was very troublesome.
But today, Xu Yi bundled up her bamboo hat early, put on her shabby raincoat, walked out quietly, closed the shabby wooden door, took the boat to pole, and headed toward the center of the river alone. Even Xu Yi herself didn't know why she had to go out today before the sky became clear. She was confused and confused, and walked away with her pole in the mist.
At a time when the sky is not yet bright, the clouds are dim and heavy, and there is no trace of gold at the end of the sky. The water vapor is extremely heavy. Although the water flows slowly by, only the ink color overflows the center of the river, and the floating light moves slightly, like fireflies dying in the night.
"Brother, the shore is over there, you've gone too far." It wasn't until someone spoke slowly that Xu Yi suddenly trembled, as if waking up from a dream, he didn't even bother to pick up his pennant, and said in panic, "This Master, I haven’t done anything harmful to the world, and my life span has not been exhausted. Master, please don’t seize my soul and suffer.”
After saying that, he trembled with his hands and groped into his arms, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find a single copper coin. He was so shocked that his two legs trembled and he almost fell into the boat.
The person in the mist earlier seemed a little helpless, "Brother, I think too much. There are no impermanent ghosts in the world. Even if there are, they should be assigned to those nobles who are doing evil and are about to expire. What does it have to do with you? I just came to fish when there are few people around, so there is no need to panic.”
Xu Yi was so shocked that she couldn't stop panting. He was timid when he was young, and he only knew how to talk about a fight. If two groups of children really started fighting, Xu Yi would definitely be running in front, with the wind on his legs, and in the astonishment of everyone around him, in an instant Run without a trace. Perhaps it was due to deep luck. Although Xu Yi was weak, he had never been beaten once in all these years, which was quite strange. I don't know where the courage came from, Xu Yi took up the pole again and rowed towards the middle of the river. However, he saw that the fog was gradually thinning. There was indeed a handsome man with a long rope in his hand sitting in the boat, concentrating towards the middle of the river. Look.
"How's it going? I'm afraid he's not as handsome as me with his impermanent appearance, right?" The man couldn't help but smile when he saw Xu Yi approaching. He loosened the long rope on his hand and continued to look at the river attentively. But with this posture, who could People don't look like they are just fishing.
Xu Yi was furious and cursed, "Brother, if you go fishing in such weather, you are not afraid of losing your footing and falling into the water. Although the flow in the lower reaches of the Sanmen River is slow, it is still the beginning of the flood season." However, maybe the first undercurrent under the river will carry people far away. No matter how good your swimming skills are, you still need to have some snacks, right? Besides, the heavy color of the fog will surprise others. Look at you, it's probably someone else. The rich and powerful people here come here to enjoy the river breeze, but they have to follow the rules, right?"
No matter how much Xu Yi became angry and ridiculed, the man always kept a smile on his face, took the long rope in his palm, and slowly lowered it down. He didn't seem to remember it in his heart and was quite indifferent.
"That's all, you rich people are always willing to do rare things." Now that her heart was broken, Xu Yi felt a lot of sleepiness and waved her hands to the man, "Don't fish. The first time I saw him, I saw a bare rope. The fishermen just go back and forth as soon as possible. Do you really think you can catch any fish?" Then he picked up his pennies and rowed towards the shore.
Xu Yi's disdain for Xu Yi is not groundless, but any three-year-old child in a fishing village knows that without a fishing rod and only fishing line, even an experienced fisherman with superb fishing skills can only catch a palm-length fish at most. Fish, right now this man actually wants to use a long and thick rope as a fishing rod, not to mention a fish as long as a hand, even if it is as long as a finger, I am afraid he won’t be able to catch one, which is so ridiculous.
The man was playful, "Brother, I'm talking, but I'm taking it for granted. If I said I could catch all the king fish in the river with this rope, would you believe it?"
Xu Yi, who was about to paddle off in the boat, seemed to have heard something ridiculous. Then she looked back at the man's uncertain face. She laughed so hard that it almost took her a long time to stop laughing. "Brother, isn't it the former man?" I had a bad cold a while ago and burned my head. I don’t believe such big words. You might as well wait until someone destined to come here to watch the fun, see you later.”
After saying that, Xu Yi punted the boat and left, not daring to stay any longer.
God knows if this lunatic bites anyone?
But just when Xu Yi turned around, he discovered that there were dozens of bright and flickering lights on the dark river surface, and in the distant mist, there were thousands of streams of light coming together.
Bright as stars shaking down.
Xu Yi came from a poor family and had never attended a private school. At most, she only listened to a few plays. However, when she saw this scene, these words suddenly came out of the mourning platform, and she froze in place.
There are no stars falling into the river, but a school of fish that looks like a huge tide, with their backs exposed from the water, and the stars are dotted like broken silver.
But the man stretched out his hand and patted the fish spines lying beside the boat, "Don't be impatient, come one by one, it's still early."
After a long time, Xu Yi opened her mouth and slowly closed it, feeling even more shocked. There are rare fish tides in Sanmenjiang River after the spring floods. Fish tides are most frequent only at the junction of summer and autumn, and most appear at midnight. As for the spring floods, they are rare in several years, and the time is also wrong. Is it possible that this man is really called Caught the fish tide?
But now he couldn't help but think about it any more. There was money in front of him, so there was no reason not to pick it up. So Xu Yi quickly grabbed the boat, pulled out the fishing net, and threw it towards the place where the phosphorescence was the brightest, not forgetting to talk to the man. The last two sentences: "Brother, you are so lucky. Don't talk about the fish tide at this time. Even if you can get rid of the net, it will be all in vain, so I have to be shameless. You took advantage of my brother’s luck, don’t blame me.”
The man still looked at Xu Yi calmly, "I'm here for the fish king. Ordinary fish can't be seen, so you can just take it."
Xu Yi was disdainful, but she relaxed and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely be able to catch a few king fishes. I will help you catch these fish that you don't like. It's very, very good."
After a while, the man really put away the long rope, but there was only an inch-long black-tailed crucian carp hanging at the end of the rope. It was placed in the water as soon as it entered the man's palm.
"It's not you."
Xu Yi had already logged in two or three times, looking at the man who was still indifferent with a horrified expression. Just because the end of the rope held by the man had no bait at all, it was just a plain yellow rope.
In less than three sticks of incense, the man reeled in the rope several times. The fish gradually grew in size, from an inch short to an arm's length, but it was still far from as heavy as the King of Fishes. However, just with these ten or so fish biting the rope, Xu Yi's expression on the side became more and more horrified, and he did not dare to speak anymore.
"This Sanmenjiang is really very particular, that's all, it's just a waste of time." The man stood up, but the boat under his feet did not shake at all, like goose feathers on the boat suddenly rising up due to the wind, without ripples. Immediately afterwards, the yellow rope entered the water on its own, like a long snake, and swam very deep in the water, which made Xu Yi feel horrified again.
This man with a handsome face is probably not an ordinary person. He is probably the same as the immortal family who knows supernatural powers in the play, or even worse.
It's not that Xu Yi never thought of escaping hastily, but that the fish around him almost completely covered this section of the river, and trying to hold on to the pole was in vain. The boat could travel smoothly on the waterway, but now that the fish were spread out, so what? Can earn half a point.
So Xu Yi could often see this scene in her dreams for the rest of her life.
In half an hour, the man raised his arms and caught a total of eighteen fish kings, all of which were two people tall and short. Six were returned to the river, and the remaining twelve were all tied up with ropes, and the man was asked to turn his handle Go up, as if catching a white dragon in the river.
If you use the heavy fish power as a staff, you can disturb the old dragon palace at the bottom of the river.
Immortal means are nothing more than this.
Xu Yi, who was cold not long ago, was already paralyzed in the broken boat, trembling all over.
The man turned his head and, seemingly without much effort, put the yellow rope that tied the twelve fish kings on his shoulders and said with a smile, "Little brother, I will give you a fortune today. Do you want to do this with me?" It’s a deal, what do you think?”
