The old man Fang's son reminded his father not to chew his tongue indiscriminately and beware of causing disasters for himself. This aroused Zhang Jingjiang's interest, and he hurriedly asked him what was going on.

After much hesitation, the eldest son told Zhang Jingjiang that there was a small island in the center of Pingshan Lake called Henggong Island. Two big fish fight each other, because these two fish are very strange in length and huge in size, it attracts many people around and in Pingshan Town to watch.

And Mrs. Bao's family is to lure customers to Henggong Island every month to earn a little money and food to live on. This business can be said to be the only source of income for Mrs. Bao's family since her husband's death. This was originally a fisherman here in Pingshan Lake. My own business, but due to the flock of tourists and spectators, this inevitably made some big forces in Pingshan Town envious.

Not long ago, some people came from Pingshan Town. After these people came to Pingshan Lake with a large number of men, they monopolized Henggong Island and began to collect money from tourists who came to see the wonders. But in this way, On the contrary, many people stopped coming. These guys saw that this was not good, and it was tantamount to cutting off their own money, so they thought of another idea.

They either bought or rented, organized a group of their own cruise ships, and set up a pavilion on Henggong Island. In this way, those tourists who want to go to the island to watch the wonders need to rent a boat. After arriving on the island, for The legendary spectacle can only be seen from a distance, but if you want to see it close, you need to pay, which is equivalent to two incomes.

However, there are still no tourists who buy it. In desperation, these people began to publicize and hype this wonder on Henggong Island in Pingshan Lake. There will be swarms in those few days of the month, so the business of cruise ships will be so good that some fishermen will also carry out passenger services.

But this touched the interests of others. In the end, the big power on Henggong Island said that it is not impossible for fishing boats to carry passengers, but they must pay a certain fee to the island. This rule also applies to those who used to The cruise ship used to carry passengers, Mrs. Bao's family is now under such exploitation, and life is getting more and more difficult.

The old man Fang’s eldest son told a very long story, and the tone of his voice was obviously very sympathetic to Mrs. Bao’s mother and daughter. When Zhang Jingjiang heard it right, she thought that although Mrs. Bao’s mother and daughter lived on this cruise ship, But now it is obviously more difficult, and my own ideas can help this Mrs. Bao.

But old man Fang's eldest son told very attractive stories, and even attracted Qingqing and Chuchu. Now he is asking around him, hoping to hear more exciting content.

"Did you really see two big fish fighting on Henggong Island?"

"Yeah, is the big fish on the island or in the lake? What did you call one fish just now, and what did you call the other set of fish?"

"Why do they fight?"

"Yeah, for such a long time, don't you know why they are fighting? They won't be fighting for no reason, right?"

……

Old man Fang's eldest son had never been questioned by two girls who were so beautiful and smart in his life. He answered patiently at the beginning, but in the end he was irritated, and finally was dragged away by old man Fang.

"Hey, it seems that there is a baby," Chu Chu said mysteriously to everyone when she came back.

"What treasure will there be?" Jiang Yiling asked strangely.

"I heard from that guy that the two big fish will appear at the end of every month. It seems that something will appear somewhere at the bottom of the lake at regular intervals. The two fish will fight for that thing. Do you think Let's see, unless monsters and beasts have intelligence, how can things like big fish take the initiative to fight against other species, they will only do things according to the nature of animals," Qingqing said.

"That's right, so we suspect that there must be treasures at the bottom of the lake," Chu Chu added.

After the two girls finished speaking, they found that everyone was looking at them with a strange expression. They couldn't help being a little embarrassed. They asked everyone strangely: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"The red chinchilla has a bald human face, four long beards, thick as arms, and a fan-shaped tail, while the horizontal male fish is red all over, has two horns on its head, and a tail like a snake's tail. These two fish are ancient strange beasts. , is a treasure in itself, but let's find that Mrs. Bao first," Zhang Jingjiang said.

In fact, he is not the only one who knows about this thing. Both Zhu Fakui and Jiang Yiling have read about these two strange fish in the Shan Hai Jing. Good medicine, Henggong fish is even more peculiar, its whole body is as hard as steel, and it will not die in boiling water, but as long as two green apricots and plums are put into it, it will be boiled immediately, and people who drink its fish soup will never lose anything in their life. Malignant gangrene.

"Aren't we looking for that carpenter? Why are we looking for Mrs. Bao again?" Qingqing wondered.

"We are in a hurry, sister," Zhang Jingjiang explained helplessly, "If the carpenter starts building a boat here, at least he has to wait for old man Fang's work to be completed, and then I don't know how long it will take for the carpenter to build a boat." It will be fine, instead of this, we might as well find a ready-made wooden boat,"

"You are going to buy a cruise ship for my sister-in-law, but we bought her boat. What do they do for a living?" Qingqing asked anxiously.

"Who said that after we bought her boat, they would not be able to live. We offer a better price. If they have money, they can go to Pingshan Town to live. If there is no man in the family, it must be difficult to live here. It is better to go to the town. ,” Zhang Jingjiang explained.

Jiang Yiling pulled Zhang Jingjiang's sleeve secretly, and said quietly: "Did you plan to do this a long time ago?"

Zhang Jingjiang didn't reply yet, but heard Chu Chu say: "It's a pity, we still want to see those two fish."

"Then let's rent Mrs. Bao's boat and go to Henggong Island to see it. I'm not in a hurry now," Jiang Yiling said with a smile: "Since the two younger sisters want to see the two fish, it's a good idea." It also made me curious, Sister Linglan, do you want to go and have a look?"

Ling Lan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look together."

Zhang Jingjiang heard what they said, so she smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, since you all want to go and see, A Biao, if you want to come, you also want to go, then let's go and have a look."

Zhu Fakui scratched the back of his head and said, "I don't care anymore. Since you all want to go, then go and have a look, but people say that the spectacle won't be there until the end of the month. Isn't it too late now?"

His words immediately reminded everyone, yes, people just said that the two fish must fight at the end of the month, if the time is not right now, it is useless to go, right, Zhu Fakui has a smart brain , One sentence hits the crux of the problem.

Qingqing rolled her eyes and said, "Who said we have to wait until the end of the month to see those two fish, we can see them when we have a way,"

"Yes, do you want to see each other," Chu Chu asked triumphantly, raising her chin.

"Okay, okay, since you have a solution, let's go to Mrs. Bao now, and we'll go to Henggong Island now," Zhang Jingjiang said with a wave of his hand. In fact, he had already thought of the two little girls, Qingqing and Chuchu, in Feipeng Island. The island is known as the Twins of Dingling, so they must have some skills, at least the two of them are better than themselves in underwater skills.

Everyone had no objection, and they went together to find the mother and daughter of Mrs. Bao. In fact, this family is easy to find. The cruise ship is tied to the small pier by the water, and the thatched house on the bank is Mrs. Bao's house. The six people went there. At that time, there happened to be a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl turning over some gray wild vegetables on the drying board at the door.

The girl was not tall, and her bones were relatively thin. The linen clothes she was wearing were also patched. It looked like she was from a poor family. In order not to scare her, Zhang Jingjiang signaled Jiang Yiling and Ling Lan to come forward for questioning.

Jiang Yiling and Linglan nodded and stepped forward, and asked softly, "Little sister, is this Mrs. Bao's house?"

Both of them are beautiful, and their manners are considered elegant. The little girl looked up and liked it, but she still asked suspiciously: "This is it. Are the two sisters looking for my mother?"

"Yeah, we have something to do with your mother, is she at home," Jiang Yiling asked.

"Well," the little girl nodded and said, "At home, wait a moment," she turned around and ran to the hut, shouting, "Mom, two older sisters are looking for you, come out."

The door was creaked open, and a woman in her forties came out. She was not very old, but her hair was already full of white hair. This might be Mrs. Bao, she walked out the door Come on, looked at his daughter lovingly, and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

Sister-in-law Bao's family, only mother and daughter, is indeed very hard-pressed, because they can only rely on carrying passengers at the end of the month to earn a little living expenses, but now they have to be robbed by people on Henggong Island for most of the money. , so their life is even more difficult.

As soon as Zhang Jingjiang and his party explained the purpose of their visit, Mrs. Bao was surprised: "It's only a few days until the end of the month to go to Henggong Island to see the wonders. Why are you going to Henggong Island now?"

"We are going to the island to do some business, not to see any wonders, but who knows that none of the nearby ferries and fishing boats go to Henggong Island. We only found you after someone introduced you. I wonder if my sister-in-law can do it. Why don't you take us to the island," Zhang Jingjiang said calmly.

"It's possible, but since tourists go to the island to see the wonders, we can charge a little fee. You are not tourists, so I shouldn't charge you for sending you to the island," Mrs. Bao said.

"It's okay, we will pay you the ship's fare. Seeing that your family is not very good, we can pay you more for the ship's fare," Zhu Fakui chimed in.

"That's absolutely not allowed. It's the duty of a fisherman to help people cross. We can't collect money," Mrs. Bao insisted.

Zhang Jingjiang and others insisted repeatedly, and Mrs. Bao finally reluctantly agreed to collect some money for rice grains, so everyone boarded the boat. Mrs. Bao asked her daughter to help, and with a light support of the bamboo pole, the cruise ship set off.
