"Brother, would you like a piece of snow from Baishui Lake?"
The fisherman gently slapped the fish body with his knife and enthusiastically promoted Lin Feng. Behind him, there was a lively winter fishing scene in Baishui Lake.
"Brother, I don't have enough money, can you have a session?"
Lin Feng's eyes were frank, and the fisherman was taken aback for a moment, but soon his expression became natural.
He also wore an animal skin coat, which was much thinner than the locals.
"You have already called me big brother. Of course you can do this business. How much do you want?" The fisherman laughed and put his knife into the middle of the fish body.
With a slightly troubled look on his face, Lin Feng shook his head and the fisherman moved his position further back.
It was still a bit difficult, and the young man shook his head again.
This time, place the knife at the tail of the fish.
"Brother, you will have to buy a whole pair from now on!"
As the fisherman was talking, he saw him nodding and took out four copper coins from his inner pocket.
Seeing the fisherman's enthusiastic and joking expression, he also felt relaxed.
"Thank you, brother!"
"Hey, why are you so polite!"
The fisherman chopped hard and one fish tail was cut off.
However, when Lin Feng reached out, the fisherman took the fish tail back teasingly and put it on the table, holding four shabby copper coins. Lin Feng was stunned.
"You're such a big boy, how can a fish tail be enough for a tooth ceremony? Here, this is for you!"
The fisherman's cunning enthusiasm caught Lin Feng off guard, and he looked at the other half of the fish that was pushed in front of him.
"Now, if you feel embarrassed, just come to me to buy it next time. It depends on your strength, brother. Don't be afraid that you won't have the money to pay it back."
The fisherman had good intentions. Lin Feng shook his head and put the money on the chopping board.
"Thank you for your kindness, brother. I only have so much for now."
The fisherman smiled and said it didn't matter, and asked him to come often in the future, but unexpectedly, Lin Feng still chose the fish tail with the same price and money, and there was at most two taels of meat on it.
In this winter hunting season, it is really not worth it.
No taking advantage, no favors owed.
The fisherman looked at Lin Feng and suddenly felt that this young man was more pleasing to his eyes.
"Brother Lin!"
At this moment, a female voice came from behind Lin Feng. Bai Xue frowned and lightly covered her heart.
Everyone else here was blushing from the cold, but she looked pale.
His expression stiffened, and Lin Feng was about to turn his head, but the fisherman quickly caught him with his sharp eyes and hands.
"Take it, if you don't want it, I'll tell you!" As he said that, the fisherman nuzzled in Bai Xue's direction.
Suddenly being grabbed, Lin Feng subconsciously wanted to fight back, but the fisherman's lowered voice made him relax.
"Hey, I bought this one, and this one was given as a gift by Duan Tail, let's go!"
The fisherman let go of Lin Feng and gave him a whole fish besides cutting it into two. The man in his thirties turned around, wiped off the copper plate on the table, and continued to shout and sell.
Without any time to think about it, Lin Feng took a deep look at the fisherman, whispered thank you, and quickly turned back.
"Why did you come out?"
He approached Bai Xue with a nervous look on his face, but she focused her eyes on the fish he was holding.
In order to save time, the whole fish has long been strung up with straw ropes, making it easy to handle; the fish that was divided into two could not resist the fishermen's quick tricks, and Lin Feng's expression did not change.
"That big brother gave it to me!"
Brother Lin is so honest. Aren’t we already at the end of our rope?
Rolling his eyes, Bai Xue smiled slightly.
Lin Feng also felt relieved, but she suddenly bent over and covered her mouth.
Cough cough cough!
After a few suppressed coughs, there was a pool of blood in her cold palms, and she had to use local materials to rub the blood away with snow.
"How are you?"
"Brother Lin, he's having another attack. I might not be able to stand it any longer!"
Bai Xue swayed, trying hard to hold on, reaching out to gently support Lin Feng's arm.
"Let's go home first!"
Holding two fish in his hand, Lin Feng felt confident. The Baishui Lake not far away was crowded with people, and the fishermen were still doing business as usual.
The snow was heavy in the forest, and the two returned to their residence. There was a new grave in the courtyard.
"The Snow Demon has spent so much time on his skills, I don't know how long he can last. Miss Bai, the Pearl of Thousand Miles, can anyone write to me?"
The flying snow rustled, and Bai Xue shook her head silently.
"excuse me!"
It was about twenty steps from here to the eaves, but Lin Feng picked her up by the waist and put her on the bed.
"Don't worry, with me and the Snow Demon guarding us, the sky won't fall!"
After covering her with the quilt, Lin Feng turned around, but was pulled by the corner of his clothes.
"Brother Lin, I can't survive anymore. Please tell me, brother Lin, to tell my father that none of the children of the Bai family have lost his face. There are no survivors."
Her footsteps were heavy, but Lin Feng did not turn around. He just gently untied her hand and lifted the snow strips on the table to the woodshed.
Slowly closing his eyes, Bai Xue had already begun to recall the various scenes he had experienced in his life, especially the chase half a year ago that left them wandering by the white water lake.
Emperor Xuehe has become a god, and the world is about to face a catastrophe.
Smoke began to rise from the small courtyard in the bamboo forest. People by the White Water Lake were so frightened that they knelt down when they saw the practitioners falling from the sky. No one even dared to take a second look at the fish that was about to be pulled ashore.
"Have you ever seen these two people?"
The practitioner's feet do not touch the ground, floating two feet in the air. He is dressed in dark red blood clothes and looks like a ghost.
Upon hearing the inquiry, the fishermen and traders cautiously raised their heads and looked at the woman in the painting.
The two women in the painting, one is young, like white dewdrops, with a round and mature charm that is unmatched by women of the same age, but they are dignified and bright, with extraordinary temperament; the other is like a woman walking out of the ice and snow, people can only do this Feel.
The two women are both Xian'er-like figures. How have you ever seen them before?
Among the crowd, a certain fisherman also carefully looked at the woman in the painting. He followed the painting towards the disciples of the Blood River Sect, and suddenly felt the gloomy and ghostly atmosphere, so he quickly lowered his head.
Seeing people hanging their heads and swaying, the disciples of the Blood River Sect looked unhappy.
"These two people, one is a snow demon, and the other is Bai Xue from Pearl City. They are important criminals of our Blood River Sect. Those who refuse to report the crime will be punished by the three clans. Those who report meritoriously can be appointed as the stewards of Baishui Lake!"
People raised their heads in confusion, and the leading Blood River Sect disciple said loudly: "You guys remember, from now on, White Water Lake is my Blood River Sect's territory, and the Thousand Miles Pearl has been wiped out!"
"ah?"
People exclaimed, the other party was very satisfied with the sensational effect created, nodded and continued: "From now on, I, the ghost, have the final say in the world. The Blood River Emperor has become a god and will tell the world soon. You untouchables, if Those who are double-minded, huh!"
The threat was obvious. People were just mortals and didn't dare to say anything.
"We, the fishermen, must abide by the law!"
The current steward of Baishui Lake took the lead, tremblingly, and said these words, and the Blood River Sect disciples were satisfied.
"In addition, from next year, 90% of the fish caught in Baishui Lake will be handed over, and you will handle the rest by yourself."
"I obey, villain!"
"Walk!"
A group of people come and go quickly, conveying orders, or showing off their power, making it difficult to distinguish priorities.
Baishui Lake does not have a radius of thousands of miles like Pearl Lake, but only a few dozen miles. Fish and aquatic products are the basis for fishermen's survival. If 90% of the fish is handed over, not only will the business not be successful, but even the fishermen's livelihood will suddenly become difficult. .
"Hmph, what's so great about the Blood River Sect? How dare a hundred or so people come into contact with the Bai family?"
"That's right, the Bai family can blow away the Blood River Sect with just one breath. It's such a big breath!"
The traders had seen too much and were humiliated and knelt down in vain. No one was happy. They were talking about the Blood River Sect, and the silver-haired old man, the steward of Baishui Lake, was also surrounded by fishermen seeking information.
The people here have no idea what it means for Emperor Blood River to attain enlightenment and become a god. They only know that their own livelihood and business will be ruined from now on.
The Blood River Sect is notorious for cannibalism and is located in the mountains to the west of White Water Lake. The hundreds of people, who are said to be cultivators, are actually similar to bandits who dominate the mountain. On weekdays, they would not dare to come to Baishui Lake to enjoy the autumn breeze.
The people around Baishui Lake are all under the rule and protection of the Bai family of Qianli Pearl Lake. The Blood River Sect brazenly came to Baishui Lake to show off their power, and they have not yet reacted; more people still feel that they are protected by Pearl City, and a small Blood River Zong didn't dare to cause trouble at all.
Otherwise, why would they leave in such a hurry?
After squeezing behind the crowd for a long time, Zhou Dayong didn't understand what the steward was saying to the fishermen. He just heard people talking about the fact that the Bai family disciples had not come to Baishui Lake for inspection half a year ago.
Feeling bad, he turned around and saw that the merchants from the city were spreading money.
They gave the fishermen as much as they wanted, without bargaining. In the past, they could handle the business for half a day, and it could be done in just a few words, which gave him an unreal feeling.
"No, these businessmen are as smart as mice. I'm afraid the news is really wrong. I have to pack up my things and go into the mountains quickly."
The spring breeze outside the mountains could not blow into the mountains, and it seemed that the disaster came later. A few days later, Zhou Dayong drove a group of pack horses to rest in a river valley.
"Brother Lin, that's really strange. What kind of fish is that?"
"I don't know either. The big brother has withdrawn his stall. People by the lake have stopped selling fish. There is no one around. I don't know what happened."
"Oh, maybe the sky is going to kill me, Brother Lin, it's getting dark!"
Bai Xue's tone was dejected, and the two of them walked on the snow slowly and quickly. Looking at the horse hoof prints on the ground, they became cautious.
"Huh? Little brother, is it really you?"
Just turning a corner, Lin Feng saw Zhou Dayong feeding the horse, and the other party seemed to have heard their previous conversation and was looking at them in surprise.
Lin Feng looked at Bai Xue and looked at Zhou Dayong.
"Big brother, what are you doing?"
After several days of marching in the mountains, Zhou Dayong had a lot to say. When he recounted what happened by the lake that day, Lin Feng and Bai Xue were shocked.
Looking at the chatty Zhou Dayong, Lin Feng looked slightly embarrassed, as someone noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong, little brother?"
"Brother Zhou, are there any snow strips on your saddle?"
Feeling excited, Zhou Dayong looked at Bai Xue.
He didn't know it by looking at it, but he was startled at first glance. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became. He hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Isn't this the bright and dignified fairy? Why is it so similar?
