The old man from the Xie family, who was born and raised in Dongting, and will have his bones buried in Dongting in the future, gradually became rickety from his straight body, his knees were slightly bent, and he stopped on a muddy beach where he could barely stay on. There was a rush of blood in his heart. The old tears flowed freely and lingered for a long time.
The Xie family has gone through four generations and five generations from being a fisherman who was bullied by others, and finally has an immortal at the age of twenty-four. Looking at the entire world, it is unprecedented.
The water of Dongting Lake is still stretching, and the lake shore has no end in sight. A sea breeze blows from the center of the lake, lifting the old man's thin green shirt.
The wind was noisy, and the old man's smile bloomed amidst his crying. He felt free and happy as never before. The cold and wet lake water flowed through his trousers, reminding him of the time when he was a child and went to other places with his grandfather to catch the waves and watch the tide.
"Kuan Chao, you must practice boxing well, and also tell your sons and grandsons that you need to be diligent in practicing boxing in the future and cannot relax for a moment. Only my Xie family is famous in the world, so I will not be bullied by others."
Xie Guanchao, who is already the eldest of the Xie family, vaguely remembers the ancestor of the Xie family who stood on the woodcut stone and watched the stormy waves crashing on the shore, feeling secretly sad. The old man never told anyone how humiliated he had been, and would only urge his children and grandchildren over and over again. Practice boxing, practice boxing, practice boxing...
The Xie family grew up in Dongting, and their souls will return to Dongting after death to protect their descendants. The old man whose long-cherished wish has not been fulfilled is now sleeping peacefully in this lake.
Xie Guanchao bent his knees and landed on the mudflat. He bowed his body respectfully and piously towards the center of the lake, and told the spirits of Xie family ancestors floating in the lake what he saw.
The things that were pressing on his mind were over. Xie Guanchao, who was seventy years old, looked a little tired and kept nagging and showing off, "Grandpa, you were still thinking about it when you closed your eyes. Now, our Xie family has really reached the realm of immortality. Twenty-four In the realm of immortality, our Xie family will never be bullied again. Your wish has come true."
Xie Guanchao burst into tears, thankful that his eyes were not dim yet, but his ears and eyes were still sharp. In his later years, he was able to see the prosperity of the Xie family with his own eyes.
The old man smiled more and more happily, but the tears in his eyes could not stop, dripping from his cheeks into the lake water, causing ripples.
On the island in the middle of the lake, all the Xie family members who were busy running for their lives had stopped, looked up at the green shirt hovering in the middle of the lake, and knelt down to worship.
"He has entered the realm of immortality and cannot stay here for long."
April, who was dressed as white as snow in the middle of the lake, shouted out, reminding May to leave quickly with her.
A killer's instincts are always sharp.
May, with a cheerful smile, changed her face, and a ray of moonlight emerged from under her feet, carrying April and escaping into the distance.
In the far away moonlight, April, whose face was still frosty, turned back and stared at the center of the lake until the blue shirt was no longer visible.
The punch that gathered in the bones of his fist did not come out. Xie Husheng took a deep breath after taking half a step, and took a half step back. The endless Dongting Lake began to ebb, shrinking from thousands of miles away to the majesty of eight hundred miles again.
The moonlight is like water, spreading over the lake, and the cave is silent.
Xie Guanchao, who was awakened by the receding tide, stood up from the mud, stretched out his withered fingers, and asked angrily: "Why are you retreating?"
Xie Husheng, who was overlooking all living beings, ignored it and walked step by step to the center of the lake. He carried the broken boat with its keel broken to a clump of reeds on the shore. Among the reeds there was a low bamboo building. There was an open space in front of the building, and slender bamboo poles were hung to dry. With salted fish and sea vegetables.
"Why did you retreat?" Xie Guanchao caught up with him in a few steps and asked in front of the open space.
Xie Husheng remained silent, as if there was no one else in his eyes. He gently put down the boat keel, shook off the water vapor from his body, looked up at the bamboo tower, and curled up the corners of his mouth.
"Just because of this wild girl, you don't have to live in immortality anymore." Xie Guanchao was annoyed and cursed at the top of his lungs.
Xie Husheng put away his smile and responded coldly.
For a moment, Xie Guanchao felt as if he had fallen into an endless ocean, being dragged and torn apart by the waves. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape.
Xie Husheng withdrew his gaze and took one step away from Dongting.
Xie Guanchao coughed several times, took a few quick breaths to calm down, took a few steps back, realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly called out to him, changing his tone, "From now on, Miss Amo will be the mistress of my Xie family, you don't have to Worry, there is an old man lobbying the Xie family, and if anyone dares to object, I will personally expel him from the Xie family."
Xie Husheng hung in mid-air, overlooking Xie Guanchao. The cold water of Dongting Lake finally felt a touch of warmth lingering in his heart. He pretended to be calm and said coldly: "I will go to Jinling Wang's family to find her. When I come back, I hope the second grandfather has convinced the Xie family members."
Xie Husheng flicked his sleeves and walked away from the Dongting. He had never called Grandpa Xie Guanchao, and today he made an exception for Ah Mo.
Amo is everything to him.
Xie Guanchao stopped in front of the bamboo building, stepped on a row of footprints, stopped in front of the slender bamboo pole, stretched out his hand to untie a half-dried salted fish, pulled off a piece of fish meat and put it into his mouth, sucking out the thick salty taste.
In the past, the Xie family lived in a bamboo house built among reeds and relied on salted fish. They had not tasted this taste for a long time.
"I put too much salt. This girl's cooking skills are indeed the same as her mother's back then."
Xie Guanchao, who was slowly getting older, was hooked by a salted fish and the tenderness in his heart for a long time was wiped out. The corners of his mouth were split and he burst into tears. He stood on a stone in front of the bamboo building.
After chasing fame and fortune for many years, it’s time for the Xie family to find the forgotten and lost human touch.
On Poyang Lake, the moonlight was divided into several rays, passing through the ruins of Yanhan Shuizhai, evoking countless white light and shadows on the lake.
Ah Mo, who had been unconscious for a long time, was awakened by the sound of water. He stood up suddenly and almost fell into the lake. He stopped in panic, stepped back a few feet, found a place to lean against a low wall, and looked around at the scenery.
What you see is not Dongting.
I vaguely remember that I was kidnapped. The desolate scene around me looked like a place where people killed people and dumped their bodies. Suddenly panicked, Xie Husheng swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva to force himself to calm down. Xie Husheng walked away from the rivers and lakes. He could not rely on him to save him, so he could only rely on himself now.
In the low wall behind, there are bamboo strips that support the wall and serve as bones, which can be used as sharp weapons.
Fortunately, I have been fishing in Dongting Lake for many years and have plenty of strength.
Ah Mo took a deep breath without spitting it out. He raised his foot and kicked hard on the low wall. A section of the crumbling low wall was kicked away, revealing a few feet of bamboo bones. He selected a section that was strong and sturdy and folded it down. Hold three feet in your hand.
Bamboo sticks are not as handy as paddles, but they can also be used for self-defense.
"Old Huang, do you think this bamboo strip looks like the long sword used by swordsmen that we saw in the fish market before?"
Ah Mo followed suit, pulling out a not-so-perfect sword flower and lowering his head to show off at his feet. In the past, there was always a lazy bark in response.
After a moment of silence, her eyes could not help but become foggy. The old yellow dog who accompanied her on the Dongting fishing trip had sunk to the bottom of the Dongting Lake.
Two fresh whitebait were thrown ashore from the lake, flopping and bending, and getting wet.
Being here, he couldn't show his timidity. Ah Mo wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and turned around to protect the bamboo stick in front of his chest. There was a sharp end at the front of the bamboo stick.
Jiang Yuanshan, covered in water, walked out of the lake, half of his face covered with ferocious scales.
Jiangyuan Mountain stood on the water, with several seaweeds hanging from the top of the head. The whole body was wet with water, and he opened his mouth and spat out jerky and intermittent words, "Eat fish, live fish, delicious."
It wasn't Cui Pengshan who kidnapped her. The person in front of him was even more terrifying.
Ah Mo didn't know the details of Jiang Yuan Mountain, so he wanted to escape from danger, so he held the bamboo stick guarding his chest tightly and stabbed towards Jiang Yuan Mountain.
Jiang Yuanshan didn't hide, he stood straight on the spot, the bamboo knot stabbed into his heart, but he couldn't get in anymore. White flowers bloomed from the bamboo knot in his heart, and the white flowers climbed up the bamboo knot, and the three-foot-long bamboo knot bloomed into a shower of flowers. Fall into the lake and wither.
"This fish is delicious."
A Mo's hostility was minimal. Jiang Yuanshan pulled off the seaweed above his head, stepped ashore, squatted down, picked up a fresh fish and gnawed it to demonstrate.
Fishermen who rely on water all eat raw fish, but they will peel off the scales and bones, rinse them clean, and leave no odor behind.
Jiang Yuanshan was eating it alive like this, and the fishy smell wafted away, causing Ah Mo's stomach to twitch and twitch, and he ran to the side to vomit.
"Eat fish and you won't go hungry."
Jiang Yuanshan gnawed the whole live fish, licked the blood from his mouth, picked up the remaining live fish, and threw it at Amo's feet.
The fish danced happily, but Ah Mo looked disgusted. He dodged a little further and went to get some clean water to rinse his mouth elsewhere.
Jiang Yuanshan grinned. The moonlight shifted its position and reflected on his face. His eyes were illuminated by the light. He seemed to be a different person inside. A stream of water vapor evaporated from his clothes, drying them.
He crawled to the shore with difficulty, rummaged his stomach and vomited out a few balls of bloody surimi, and then punched the reflection in the water.
After waiting for a long time, he stood up, glanced at A Mo in panic, and then turned away half of his body, fearing that the half of his face that was not visible to others would scare her. After being silent for a long time, he finally said, "You are the woman that Master Xie Hu likes."
Ah Mo had already vomited and was weak. He was leaning in front of a low wall with no wind. The moonlight was shining on his feet, white and soft.
The man suddenly spoke eloquently, and there was no hostility around him, which made Ah Mo feel much more relaxed, "I don't know Master Xiehu, I only know a man named Rotten Crab."
Jiang Yuanshan smiled and bowed half of his body towards A Mo, "My name is Jiang Yuanshan. I was born on the Fairy Island of Taihu Lake in Suzhou. I have a daughter named Jiang Xiaoyu under my knees. I was taken in by Lord Xie of the Lake. He recognized her as a master and taught her martial arts. In the future, when the girl marries Master Xie Hu, I hope to treat my daughter better. Without her parents, her life will definitely be very difficult. She has to eat three meals a day and pay for clothes. Just don’t let her suffer."
A Mo's face was already dark, hidden in the dark, and his expression was even more invisible, "Aren't you alive? Why do you say your daughter has no parents?"
Jiang Yuanshan turned around slowly, revealing a ferocious face, and laughed at himself: "It's not convenient for me to see her in this state."
Ah Mo poked his head out from the darkness, raised his voice, and defended him, "There is no child in the world who despises the appearance of his parents."
Jiang Yuanshan remained silent, walked to the lake, turned around and said: "I am no longer a human being. The kindness of raising the girl is greater than that of heaven. To save the girl today is to repay some favor in advance. My daughter has been pampered since she was a child. In the future, It will inevitably cause trouble for the girl and Master Xie Hu. I hope you two can be more attentive and educate her well. I can’t see her growing up.”
The foot of Jiangyuan Mountain was covered with lake water, and a green mountain rose from the bottom of the lake, holding him up. Jiang Yuanshan bowed his body and bowed to the wind again. The green mountains were tall and long, reaching straight into the night sky.
Countless white flowers bloomed at the border of the green mountains and lakes. The white flowers fell, the green mountains gradually disappeared, and the lone shadow in the night sky disappeared with the wind.
