Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 89 Jinxia
Jinxia Lake!
The mist is vast for three hundred miles, and the sunshine is as bright as brocade. It is the only beautiful landscape around Anping County.

The lake, which covers an area of ​​three or four hundred miles, is already a large lake with beautiful mountains and clear waters and rich products. Entertain tourists for a living.

Another morning, Su Wen held an umbrella and walked out of the town towards the lake. People on the road nodded their heads when they saw him.

"Mr. Su, are you going to swim in the lake again?"

"It's so elegant!"

"Yazhi, it's almost the twelfth lunar month, and I'm not afraid to freeze myself if I go to the lake to blow a breeze!"

"That's right, if you have the time to suffer, it's better to talk a few more times, and you can ask the shopkeeper to warm a pot of wine, and then serve it with a plate of snacks. The taste is not better than blowing air!"

"What do you know, Mr. Su went to swim in the lake, that's for marriage, haven't you heard the part about swimming in the lake and borrowing an umbrella?"

"Hmph, these poor scholars like to play this game, and they have high vision. After hearing the story of swimming in the lake and borrowing umbrellas, and seeing that he goes to the lake every day to enjoy the wind, several girls rushed to play with him. Swimming on the lake with a boat, but in the end, he didn’t like any of them, and took an umbrella to swim in the lake, whether it was raining or snowing, he really thought that there would be a white lady coming to meet him!"

"People look down on our fisherman girl..."

Some people greeted each other, while others talked about it later.

What are you talking about?
Naturally, it was Su Wen's flirtatious incident recently.

It has been more than half a month since he left Anping and came to this small town. Based on the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, he also opened a bookstore in the town. He spends some time every day telling stories with the people in the town, accumulating auras and promoting the tour. The story of Borrowing an Umbrella on a Lake and Promising Love on a Broken Bridge, so as to attract a girl to ride through the wind and rain with him and complete the demanding task of enlightenment.

This publicity effect is very good. The love story of the white lady has captured the reassurance of many girls. In addition, he is a free storyteller and behaves generously. Therefore, when he goes swimming in the lake every day, there will be bold and enthusiastic fisherman girls to accompany him. He swam in the lake, expressing his love openly and secretly.

In this way, it should be easy to complete the spiritual enlightenment task of swimming in the lake with an umbrella, right?

Su Wen felt the same way at first.

But God started a joke with him.

For the past half month, let alone rain, there is not even a cloudy day. Every day is a clear winter sky, with wind and clouds, but no rain.

How can I borrow an umbrella when it's not raining?

Even if Su Wen forcibly borrows it out, this task will not be completed!
Lingqi's mission was not completed, but it caused a lot of criticism, and was even called a "scumbag".

No way, you storyteller, you told the story of swimming in the lake and borrowing an umbrella, and you swim around the lake with an umbrella all day long. Doesn’t it make it clear that you are waiting for a beautiful woman, waiting for a marriage?
If you want a marriage, we will give you a marriage. Several girls in the town went on a boat trip with you on the lake, but you didn't give them your umbrella, and you didn't even talk to them on the boat.

What do you mean?
Don't like the girls in our town?

You scumbag!
Do you really think there will be a white lady coming to meet you?

Or do you hope that your stupid story can attract some rich ladies and powerful daughters?

Little white face!
In this way, because of love and hatred, Su Wen got the reputation of a scumbag who "shameless, daydreams, climbs high branches, and eats soft food". The method can only be discussed behind the scenes.

Why is there no way?
Because this is the territory of Jinjianmen!
As early as a month ago, Jinjianmen was instructed by Su Wen to expand its influence to Jinxia Town, and for this reason, it also wiped out a gang called the Jinlin Gang.

Wearing the tiger skin of the Golden Sword Gate, naturally no one dared to trouble Su, they could only talk about him behind his back.

Su Wen naturally didn't care about this point of criticism, left the town, came to the lake, and started a new day of waiting.

"Mr. Su, are you going to swim in the lake again today?"

There was already a boatman waiting here, and he greeted Su Wen aboard the boat with great enthusiasm, and then brought a small fire stove in front of him: "It just so happened that I caught a Jinxia carp last night, and I will cook it for you, Mr. Su." Come on, cook a pot of carp porridge, eat to warm up your body, and then go swimming in the lake, it's windy today, if you catch a cold and hurt your body, it will be bad."

"Oh?"

Su Wen also became interested, and asked while sitting down: "How does this Jinxia carp taste?"

"That's really delicious!"

The boatman smiled and said: "This fish is a special product of our Jinxia Lake. It is said that it contains a trace of dragon blood. Eating it can strengthen your body and make you look like blood. It is very good for those who practice martial arts. When the Jinlin Gang was still there, but The price of a fish is ten taels, although we poor fishermen are reluctant to eat it, but we have seen the nobles taste it, and they are all full of praise, saying that the fish is extremely delicious."

"Is that so?"

Su Wen smiled, took out a piece of silver, about 20 taels, and handed it to the boatman.

"It can't be done!"

The boatman quickly refused: "Mr. Su, you are an honored guest of Jinjianmen. The man in charge said that if you catch Jinxia carp, you must entertain it. They will pay for it. You, a little old man, would never dare Take it, or let the steward of Jinjianmen find out, and the little old man will not be offended."

Su asked with a smile: "How is this Golden Sword Sect compared to the previous Golden Scale Gang?"

"Of course it's much better!"

The boatman glanced around, then lowered his voice and asked Su, "The Jinlin Gang are skin pickers, and they will squeeze you three liang of oil for their bones, and they said they would take Jinxia carp for ten taels of silver, but in the end they would detain you instead." I even planted a crime on you, I don’t know how many fishermen have been persecuted to death, and now I have finally received retribution.”

Su Wen nodded, and said with a light smile, "Natural law recurs, retribution is not good!"

"That's it."

The boatman smiled, poured the killed Jinxia carp into the pot, mixed it with the boiling porridge and rice, and then closed the lid: "Mr. Su, this Jinxia carp is unusual, with firm flesh and restrained essence. , you have to boil it for a while to get the flavor out, just wait a moment!"

Su Wen nodded, then looked outside the boat: "Is it sunny again today?"

"is not that right!"

The boatman laughed at the bow of the boat and said, "Now it's November and winter months. It's either strong wind or severe cold. Mr. Su, if you want rain, I'm afraid it will wait until next year, but it's not sure. It depends on the weather. The mood of the Dragon King."

Su Wen looked at the oil-paper umbrella in his bag, shook his head, and said with a chuckle, "Then I hope the Dragon King's mood is a little darker today."

The boatman also smiled: "Mr. Su, I would like to ask you a lot, what kind of girl can catch your eyes? The girl from the Zhang family yesterday is the first-class beauty in our town, and everyone who proposes marriage I'm about to step through the threshold of her house, and yesterday I got on a boat to swim the lake with you, but you didn't say a word to her, telling her to go back and cry!"

Su Wen shook his head without explaining, "The one who is destined!"

"Someone who is destined?"

The boatman was puzzled: "How can it be considered destined?"

Su Wen said with a smile: "Standing in the same boat through thick and thin is fate!"

When Su Wen spoke like this, he did not intend to be mysterious, but wanted to use the mouth of the boatman to reveal this information, so as to complete the extremely demanding spiritual enlightenment task.

It is fate to be in the same boat through thick and thin, so please girls, come to the lake again when it rains.

Having said that, isn't he suspected of being a bit of a scumbag for deceiving people's feelings like this?

It's true, but there's no other way, I can only explain it clearly after the inspiration is completed, and give me enough compensation.
