Chapter 132 Just call me Xu Haolong (Additional update for bjwb Shixian Ruizhu)
The sunset is low.
Frightened fish jumped into the water, causing pieces of broken waves, and even the red-gold sunset seemed to be smashed by it.
The lake breeze blew, and the reeds on the shore fell side by side. A fishing boat emerged from the reeds and docked on the shore.
On the long shore of the lake, many buyers are already eagerly looking forward to the harvest brought back by this fishing boat today.
This lake is called Yuhuan Lake. It covers an extremely large area and is so big that you can’t see the end at a glance. From a distance, there seems to be mist in the center of the lake, and there are even rolling mountains, which cast a mysterious veil on the lake.
Everyone nearby knows that behind the looming fog and mountains is the abode of the immortals that is beyond their reach.
Legend has it that in the center of Yuhuan Lake, there is a lake within a lake. There is a real fairy pool called Yuhuan Pool. Even if an ordinary person is lucky enough to drink a sip of water, his life can be extended for decades. Compared with those spiritual fish in Yuhuan Lake that have been speculated to be priceless but have no market, that is the real fairy.
Fifty-four years ago, there were thousands of small boats on this lake, and countless immortals came and went on this lake, which was very lively.
Since fifty-four years ago, the number of boats on this lake has dropped sharply, and no immortals have visited here. Even fishing boats fishing in Yuhuan Lake will disappear mysteriously, and then the empty fishing boats will dock on their own the next day.
At first people thought that the disappeared people had entered the fairy gate in the center of the lake, but more and more rumors let people know that this fairy-filled lake might not be that simple.
"Lao Yu! Xiaoyu! What fish did you catch today?"
There was a strong young man among the buyers, shouting to the old man and the girl who had just landed.
Lao Yu and Xiao Yu are a grandson and granddaughter. They have been fishing in Yuhuan Lake for generations. When other fishing boats mysteriously disappeared into the lake, only Lao Yu’s boat remained strong. .
Before, jealous people robbed Lao Yu’s boat and went out to the lake to fish, but they could not escape the fate of disappearing. Only then did people gradually believe that Lao Yu was a fisherman appointed by the immortal sect in the lake.
"Brother Lin! Sturgeon, killifish, mullet, whatever fish you want is available!"
Xiaoyu said with a smile while helping his grandfather drag the fish basket.
“Oh, that’s great!” The buyers all exclaimed.
The restaurants in the cities near Yuhuan Lake all use the spirit fish in Yuhuan Lake as their signature dishes. The only fishing boat of Lao Yu's family that was safe from accidents naturally became the only fish supplier to all nearby restaurants. Every time the grandfather and grandson return from fishing, there will be people sent by various restaurants to buy spiritual fish at high prices.
Grandpa and grandson put a dazzling array of fresh fish on the shore, and specialists from various companies began to compare prices.
Obviously they are all mortals, but what they are comparing is not the gold and silver of the world, but the objects of the immortal family.
Lao Yu did not accept gold or silver from selling fish, but only items from the immortal family. People thought that he did this just to send his young granddaughter to the immortal family, and they all advised him to give up. Relying on this fishing skill, he can become a famous rich man in a hundred miles around, and Xiaoyu can also become a carefree young lady, not much worse than an immortal.
But Lao Yu is still stubborn in his opinion, turning a blind eye to the wealth of the cart, but does not refuse the tattered talismans, seals, and broken swords.
Soon, these valuable spiritual fish were sold out, and most of the crowd of buyers left with satisfaction.
Before leaving, Brother Lin who had called before quietly stuffed a few coins into Xiaoyu’s hand and warned:
“Xiaoyu, please also advise your grandpa not to exchange money for it. Why don't you find a good wife for these useless pieces of trash?"
Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just stuffed the money back, and then waved goodbye to Brother Lin.
The little fish is slim and graceful, with delicate skin. It has been fishing all year round, so it is a healthy wheat color. At this time, it picked up a pile of scrap metal obtained from selling fish, frowned its beautiful eyebrows, and murmured:
"Grandpa, are these things really useful?"
Lao Yu took a puff of dry cigarette, his cloudy eyes were looking where he was looking, and he said quietly:
"You have to give it a try. Let's go back."
"Oh..."
Xiaoyu reluctantly agreed and planned to follow his grandfather back to the cabin. "Old man, little sister, are you still selling fish?"
A clear voice sounded, and a young boy stopped the grandfather and grandson.
He was wearing a simple black robe, with a long black sheath sword hanging on his waist. His hair is a little messy and his temperament is a bit dusty.
For some reason, Xiaoyu felt her heart skip a beat. This was the first time she had seen such a young man who was as loose as ink in the whole day of being with the lake.
“There is also a killifish, do you want to buy it?” Xiao Yu said blankly.
"That's our dinner!" Lao Yu flicked the ashes from his cigarette, glared at his granddaughter, then glanced at the young man who suddenly appeared, and said: "Sir, please go, today's fish has already been eaten." It’s sold out. If you want to buy more, come earlier tomorrow.”
“Then I don’t want to buy fish, but just want a sip of fish soup? I’m a foreigner who came here because of the reputation of Yuhuan Lake. Please ask the elderly to make fresh fish soup.”
As You Su said this, he took out three spiritual stones with rich spiritual energy from his arms.
When Xiaoyu saw these three spirit stones, his beautiful eyes suddenly shone, and even Lao Yu, who looked impatient, was slightly stunned.
"Yes! Yes! The fish soup cooked by grandpa is the best! Sir, come up quickly!"
The little fish put down the rags in his arms with a clanging sound, and prepared for You Su I put down the boat plank, as if I was afraid that this "big fish" would run away.
Seeing his granddaughter’s enthusiastic attitude, Lao Yu had no choice but to take another puff of dry cigarette and said sadly:
“Get on the boat.”
……
Fishing boat It's not too big, but the cabin is well-equipped. When you walk in, the fishy smell hits your nostrils.
Lao Yu was cooking dinner at the bow of the boat, with smoke curling up.
You Su sat on the fixed stool, took the hot tea from the girl, and said thank you softly.
Xiaoyu felt a little feverish on her face for some reason. She sat opposite You Su and couldn't help but glance at this handsome young man from the corner of her eye.
"Where did the guest officer come from?"
"I come from Chuyun City." You Su replied with a smile.
"Izumo City? That's very far away." Xiaoyu thought for a while and exclaimed.
"Little sister, do you know about Izumo City?"
Yu Su was also a little surprised. Izumo City was not a famous city among the thousands of cities in Zhongyuan Continent.
"Don't call me little sister. I think you're not that old. Just call me Xiaoyu." Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue and said, "Do you think that I can catch the fish alone?" How could Yu’s black girl know a city so far away?”
“If I ask myself, I definitely don’t have such an idea. It would be better to say that I am amazed by Xiaoyu’s knowledge.”
Xiaoyu smiled shyly: "It's okay. It's just that my father often took me to see the map of Zhongyuanzhou. I always wanted to leave Yuhuan Lake and go out for a walk, so I remembered those places very much. Prison."
"Xiaoyu is very powerful." You Su praised him sincerely.
"By the way, what is your name?"
You Su thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Just call me Xu Haolong."
