The bells announced the dawn.
The bead curtain is rolled up early, and the fragrant fragrance curls up from the ring.
The big iron bell on the city tower was struck by the half-dead gatekeeper, emitting a half-dead and decadent bell sound. The morning bell and evening drum, the roar of the metal vibration woke up a sleeping lazy snake.
Get up, wash your face in a daze, and pop out the two sharp fangs to clean them to prevent tartar.
Drinking water, he raised his head and purred, gargling his mouth carefully. In the end, he felt that he could not waste the water, so he swallowed it with a gulp. In fact, the taste of water was insignificant to snakes. Bai Yu also drank water to replenish his body when he was bored after transforming. He was so young. After devouring prey every day, there is no need to find ways to replenish water.
I'm not doing business today, I'm going fishing outside the city, and I plan to stew fish for dinner tonight.
I have a big appetite, but the small fish basket is not enough to eat the fish, so I simply carry a big bamboo basket for harvesting, put on a straw hat, pick up a homemade fishing rod and go out, and draw a few symbols in the yard before setting off...
There is no need to set up a stall today. When closing the door, Bai Yu saw that the small dried fish left for the big-faced cat last night on the stone platform at the door was missing.
The grandma next door muttered.
"That's weird. Why are the two sesame seed cakes left yesterday gone?"
Bai Yu, who was wearing a straw hat, walked through the street with an expressionless face. When he passed by a muddy place, he crushed the footprints left by someone who didn't know who. Maybe it was unintentional or intentional, it didn't matter, the difference was not big anyway.
Holding the fishing rod and swinging on the road, taking your time, life is so long, swinging slowly...
The gangsters they met on the road ran away in fear. They were afraid that the girl who looked very weak and beautiful would break their legs.
He slowly walked out of the city gate, sniffed the traveling water vapor in the air, and walked in the exact direction of the river.
The river near the city gate is too busy and chaotic, and there are no fish. The pedestrians and boats coming and going disturb the fish, so you have to find a clean place to catch fish. Besides, the domestic sewage near the city gives the river a strange smell, and the fish Not tasty, better upstream.
We walked up the river and walked about five or six miles.
I found a deep river bank and used Zhan Zhanqi's skills to find a feng shui spot and start fishing.
Take out the bench and put it in place, put the bamboo basket in shallow water and press it with stones. When you catch the fish, you can throw it in to keep it alive. Cut a tree branch to use as a pole holder, and catch a few earthworms to make fishing bait.
Hang the bait, swing the rod, and then... be in a daze.
Wearing a straw hat and sitting on a bench to bask in the sun, I have been feeling dizzy for a long time. I am numb and dazed. Occasionally I am slightly interested in something around me. Most of the time I am in a daze, half asleep and half awake.
It's not that Bai Yu is depressed and doesn't want to seek immortality, but that his soul makes changes to adapt to the improvement in strength before turning into a dragon, which is an adaptive state.
Cultivation of immortality is a long, lasting and ever-changing journey.
When you are mad and noisy, you have to calm down and find some time to settle and think.
Cultivation of immortality is not endless fighting and killing. Fighting and killing are just fragments of the journey. The one who wins in the end will only be the master of the ring. Bai Yu doesn't know what the real cultivation of immortality is and is still looking for it.
Snake Naoren'er is very confused...
A dragonfly flew over and landed lightly on the tip of the toes, while a snake remained as still as a stubborn stone.
For a long time, the float swayed wildly and a fish bit the hook. I lifted the fishing rod lightly and saw a big grass carp.
The complex thoughts stopped temporarily, and after I picked up the grass carp and swung the hook again, I started to think again. The dragonfly that had just flown away came back and rested gently on the edge of the straw hat.
for a long time.
I rubbed my forehead and felt like my brain was going to explode. The more I thought about it, the more confused I became.
There are more and more fish in the bamboo basket. Fortunately, there are no advanced fishing gears in this ancient era. Big fish are very stupid. I caught half a basket of grass carp, carp, and crucian carp at noon. I also caught a fish spirit. It is not easy to practice cultivation, so Bai Yu let me go.
Look up at the sun above your head.
"Noon, it's time to have lunch."
He reached out and grabbed a six or seven pound big carp from the bamboo basket. He raised his head and opened his mouth. His powerful devouring ability instantly swallowed the big carp into his belly. One carp was not enough to eat, so he swallowed half the basket again before he was full.
After eating, I sat back and fished, just like a tree stump by the water, thinking quietly...
By the river, the girl is quiet.
Shadows move from side to side...
The sun crossed a semicircle in the sky and appeared by the stream, getting closer and closer to the green mountains. An ordinary day was coming to an end. Bai Yu sat still except for the occasional swing of the pole.
Sighing, he put away his fishing rod and bamboo bench and prepared to go home and sleep. He had to go back before the city gate closed.
Carrying a bamboo basket on his back, he picked a few lotus leaves to cover his harvest, and headed toward the city.
When I walked back, I saw many martial arts masters and gang members searching everywhere. Every household in the village was uneasy and clamoring for a dark boy named Yu Xiao. Many poor boys from poor families were unlucky. Of course, these gangs were looking for someone. The molecule takes some advantage by the way.
The city gate.
The old guard of the city saw the sun setting and the sky getting dark, and shouted to close the city gate.
"The time has come to close the city gate~!"
A dozen or so free-spirited gatekeepers pushed hard against the dilapidated city gates and shouted slogans. The gates slowly closed, cutting off the inside and outside of the city into two separate worlds.
Seeing the city gate forming a crack and about to close, a small white hand appeared in vain and grabbed the city gate...
"Wait~"
Bang~!
The city gate trembled slightly, and the old soldiers who were pushing the door felt a surge of energy and blood and almost vomited blood. I don't know how much strength the owner of the little hand used. With a gentle push of the little hand, the city gate creaked and a slender figure squeezed in. A group of old soldiers were shocked and dumbfounded.
"Sorry for missing the time. I'll be careful next time."
He apologized and left, leaving behind a group of shocked guards.
Return to the courtyard.
I killed the fish, scraped the scales, cleaned it, and lit the fire. I made a pot of pickled fish with extremely quick hands and feet. The snake's sense of smell is too sensitive to always eat boiled fish and spicy fish. The pickled fish is good, and the small pot is steaming with the aroma of fish.
The big-faced fat cat kept digging into the bamboo basket to eat fish, meowing in anxiety, so Bai Yu had to pick a small fish and throw it to it.
Don't worry about fishbones getting stuck in your throat. That's a stupid thing that only cats who have been cared for by humans can do. Hunting in the wild is not easy. These cats, who rely more on hunting to survive, are very capable. They can eat birds and mice without even leaving a bone.
At night, light lanterns and hang them on the flower trees.
Bright lanterns lit up the small courtyard, illuminating the gorgeous flowers of the flower trees, and a few small mosquitoes flew around the lanterns.
Move a small wooden table and put it under the tree, set up a small bench, and then put the pickled fish pot and the small brazier on the small wooden table, and the strong aroma and heat will spread out.
It seems that the neighbor's big-faced tabby cat has chosen to defect and seek refuge with its new, loving owner.
I don’t feel any guilt at all, and my neighbors didn’t come to look for it. I guess it was just like this before in exchange for meal tickets. At this moment, this guy is squatting on the small bamboo stool on the other side, licking his paws and washing his face, cleaning the fish blood from the corners of his mouth. Don’t be fooled by his cute appearance. Confused, he is actually a real smart killer who eats meat.
The sauerkraut pot is bubbling, and the fish is filled with a rich aroma.
Let go of the entanglements that are getting more and more confusing in your head, stretch out your chopsticks and focus on eating fish. Don't rush to take one day at a time, you will always find the real answer.
The small quaint courtyard has slanting flowers and trees, hanging lanterns, small tables, benches and pickled fish, steaming...
