I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 44 Wonderful
The sky is getting late, but the sky is not yet dark, the mountains have become deep black shadows, the sky is also yellow and blue, and the silhouette of the mountains is reflected in the water, and the river is also dyed.A small boat sailed along with the waves, and the lights on the boat were not much bigger than a grain of soybean when viewed from a distance, and they were reflected in the water, wrinkled by the evening wind.

The boatman sat on the bow, holding a long pole in his hand.

The fishing line is like water, with little ripples.

The boatman suddenly raised his pole and reached out to catch it at the same time.

Seeing that it was just a small fish, it was thrown on the cabin.

"Pop puff..."

Fish danced in the cabin.

The boatman just smiled and said to Sanhuamao:
"For you."

"Meow~"

Sanhuamao thanked it, then bowed its head and began to eat.

The scholar also sits on the side of the boat blowing the wind, watching the boatman fishing, and stretching his hand down from time to time. This place is close to the water, and he can touch the water without stretching his hand.

Suddenly he smiled, pointed to the side and said to the boatman:

"Look, old man, you've worked so hard to fish, and you've only caught one fish that's less than the width of two fingers, but there's a fish floating here, and it's all coming to me! This is mocking you..."

As he spoke, he used his other hand to support the window sill so that he could lean out and stretch out his hand, as if he wanted to catch the fish.

"Don't take it!"

The boatman immediately turned his head and said.

"Ok?"

The scholar retracted his hand like lightning, and looked at the boatman:

"Why?"

Only then did the boatman's face soften, and he also smiled, and said to the scholar:

"Guest officer, don't go and get it."

"What's the point?"

"It's not too particular. Even those of us who run boats and fish at night, we don't touch fish like this kind of fish floating on the water's edge, not too far away, as if we can catch them with a little more stretching." The boatman said. Sitting on the bow of the boat and continuing to fish, the voice came from the night wind, "I just got used to it."

The scholar seemed to be interested.

"Old man, please explain in detail."

"What's there..."

"There must be something special!"

"Guest officer, don't embarrass the little old man."

"Don't make things difficult! My husband doesn't know something. I love to hear stories and rumors about ghosts and ghosts all my life. Please tell me."

"It's nothing else, it's just that although the fish looks close, it has to stretch out its hand more. If it stretches out more, it will increase the risk of falling into the water."

"That's all?"

"Guest officer, how can there be grains falling from the sky these days? Most of the things that come for nothing are not simple." The boatman sat motionless, only concentrating on fishing, "It's like the fish in front of the guest officer. You can get it with your hand, but if you bend down, if there is a little demon and a little ghost below, if you are not careful..."

Halfway through the talk, the boatman laughed and remained silent.

"Oh?"

The scholar raised his eyebrows, fearful and excited again: "On the Liujiang River, has such a thing happened before?"

The boatman still smiled and said nothing, only concentrating on fishing.

"Old man, don't be stingy."

"It's really insignificant."

"If the old man wants to say, I can pay for some tea."

It can be seen that the scholar really likes to listen to stories, since that is the case, it is not easy for the boatman to refuse, and after a moment of pondering, he patiently told it.

"When I was young, I heard people say that it is best not to touch the fish that can be picked up by taking one step into the water, or the herbs that can be collected by taking one step to the edge of the cliff. However, young and energetic, It’s not that I don’t believe in this kind of statement. I usually believe it, but it’s my turn. At that time, I can’t remember it until I see this kind of incident with my own eyes.

"..."

There are really many strange stories on this Liujiang boat.

The boatman talked several times in a row.

It's nothing more than being like a scholar, greedy for cheap, thinking that it's good luck, or walking by the river in the middle of the night and seeing someone fall into the water, or something else, and then being killed by a ghost.

Song You was also listening quietly.

Before I knew it, the fish that floated close to the surface and was half a meter away from the boat was no longer there.

Most of the monsters and ghosts in this world are like this.

There is no need to say more about ghosts and ghosts. Unless the Taoism is advanced, it takes some thought to harm people.

Monsters are too different, it's hard to say.

Like the fierce tiger I met a few days ago.The tiger is the king of the mountain. Even if he has not yet developed his spiritual intelligence, he is only a little smarter than his peers. He knows how to bully the weak and avoid the strong, and distinguish traps. He has already made a group of young men and hunters in Lijia Village have nothing to do with it. If it harms people Heart, the consequences are unimaginable.

But if it's a rabbit, even if it becomes a spirit and has enlightened wisdom, it may be beaten to death by a stick, or accidentally caught by an eagle.

Another example is the common fox in the story.

It is more or less a carnivore, but many foxes have become spirits and transformed into human beings. Before their morality is not high, they mix into the world, and they have to go around when they encounter sharp village dogs.

This is an innate difference, and there are subtleties in it when you think about it carefully.

Little ghosts and demons are not strong enough, and if they want to harm people, they have to rely on deception and temptation to make people relax their vigilance and fall into a trap.

But it doesn't necessarily mean that you want to hurt people.Many aquatic animals have gained wisdom and will use fish to catch birds or other fish. It is just a coincidence to catch people.It doesn't necessarily mean that it must be the work of ghosts.This boat travels hundreds of thousands of miles on the water, and there are many uninhabited places in the middle, and sometimes the boatman has evil intentions and kills the guests, alleging that ghosts did it.

After the boatman finished speaking, the scholar was hooked.

"The little old man can't speak..."

"Old man, don't say that. This kind of story is the most touching when it is told in the most simple tone, as if it happened around you." The scholar said, and quickly turned back into the boat, "I have to write it down quickly. If you forget, you will lose my Wuwen tea money."

A few stories and five Wen tea money are worth it.

At night, it was cold on the river, and it was cold outside.

Song You patted the bay red horse's neck: "I've wronged you to stay here these few days, so don't make a sound easily, but if something happens, just call me loudly."

The bay red horse stood still and said nothing.

But the scholar's laughter came from behind: "Mr. Xiao is really interesting. It is quite common to talk to cats, but now you are talking to horses. Could it be that your horse has become a master and can understand human speech?"

Song You smiled and turned to look.

When the boatman was telling stories earlier, he had already caught several big fish and made soup in advance. Now the small stove was steaming hot, and in the heat, the scholar used a clothes box as a table, spread toilet paper, and carried a Put the writing brush in your mouth and wet it, and write with your head buried in it.

Song You also entered the cabin and took a casual look.

It was the story the boatman told just now.

After that, the scholar buried his head in writing and stopped talking.

Looking at the boatman again, he first used the soup made from fish bones and fish heads, and the meat of the fish was carefully packed and cut into thin slices. After the fish soup was boiled, only the translucent and delicate fish fillets were poured into In the pot, it becomes as white as snow after only one roll, and the aroma becomes more and more attractive.

"There's nothing to eat on board, it's all there all day long, guest officers, don't be offended."

The boatman took the bowls and chopsticks from the low cabinet.

The scholar had just finished writing, so he was not polite, and immediately went to get a bowl, and like the owner of the boat, he greeted Song You and the family of three, and served them soup.

Song You also got a bowl and thanked him.

The coldness on the river is heavy, and the heat in the bowl is thick.

Before he finished his mouth, he felt the temperature in the palm of his hand, which was in contrast to the temperature outside, and he already had some feelings.

"Um!!"

The scholar's voice sounded first.

"Old man, good craftsmanship!"

"But it's not considered a craft, anyone who makes it tastes like this." The boatman smiled, "The guest officer just took the first sip and felt comfortable. It will be like this for the next few days. It is either fish soup or fish mixed with a pot of porridge. , it will be annoying after a few more meals."

"The old man is humble. He went upstream from the Liujiang River to Yizhou before next year. The boatman on that boat did the same thing at that time, but the taste is not as good as the old man's."

"Don't dare to say that!"

Song You listened, and bowed his head to take a sip.

Almost only salt and ginger are added to the fish soup, which tastes a bit salty, and the fishy smell has gone. The freshly caught fish is delicious, but there is no other smell, so far it is normal.

Mainly fish fillets that were placed afterward.

The fish fillets are very thin, and none of the fishbone is missing. It takes some knife skills and patience.The fish that was put in last was very tasty. It only rolled twice in the pot, and even the skin of the fish was still a little crispy when you first ate it.

This boatman is modest.

Even if it is true that there are not many fancy things, sometimes it is more difficult to do simple things well. Isn't this a kind of skill?
"call……"

Song You exhaled hot air, feeling extremely comfortable.

Then he lowered his head and aimed at the three-flowered cat next to him.

"Does Empress Sanhua want to eat?"

Sanhuamao didn't speak, but shrank back.

The scholar looked amused again.

After finishing the fish soup, he came to talk to Song You again:
"Where is Mr. from?"

"People from Yizhou."

"Oh? Where is Yizhou?"

"Lingquan County."

"Lingquan County?"

The scholar suddenly became interested: "I have been to Lingquan County during my trip to Yizhou."

"One step is..."

"You haven't reported your family name yet, it's really rude!" The scholar hurriedly smiled and cupped his hands, "My surname is Fu, Taifu's Fu has a single name of Yu, and his name is Wendong. He is from Luzhou County."

"Song You, courtesy name Menglai, is from Yishan, Lingquan County, Yizhou."

"Mister is practicing in Lingquan County?"

"I am amazed."

"It's not surprising, but I just want to ask you something." The scholar cupped his hands again and said, "Since Mr. is practicing in Lingquan County, have you heard of Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain?"

"I've heard of it."

Song You still looked at him indifferently.

"To be honest, I went to Yizhou this time to visit relatives and friends, and to visit Fulong Temple in Yinyang Mountain." The scholar couldn't help shaking his head, showing regret, "But I went to Lingquan County I searched many ways, but I found Yinyang Mountain, but I searched the whole mountain, not to mention the palaces and temples, and I didn’t see a single brick or tile on the mountain.”

"Is Fulong Temple famous? Where did you hear about it?"

"It's not famous, but I like this Taoism. I like to collect legends about ghosts and monsters. I accidentally found that this Taoist temple happened to be mentioned in several good rumors I collected. Out of curiosity, I took this opportunity to think about it. Going to search, but returning in vain, wasting many days in vain."

As he spoke, he looked at Song You.

"Isn't Fulong Temple on Yinyang Mountain? Or is there another Yinyang Mountain? Am I wrong?"

"You don't know what you're doing."

Song You still said to him indifferently: "The Fulong temple is quite strange. Even if the pilgrims want to offer incense, they can only find the Taoist temple when the temple owner wants to open the door. The rest of the time, even if they walk along the familiar road , can only return in vain.”

"really?"

"You can't fake it."

"There is such a miracle!!"

"I heard that the master of Fulong Temple is lazy by nature, and there is only one disciple who is still hardworking. Maybe it's not that he didn't find the position, but he just didn't go at the right time."

"Wonderful..."

The scholar opened his eyes wide and clapped his hands.

"Since there is such a magical place, it must be a famous palace in Xianshan. If there is another chance in the future, I will go and look for it again!"

"What year is it in the future?"

"I'm afraid it will be many years later."

"May everything come true with one step."

"Thank you very much..."

Song You was leaning in the cabin, Mistress Sanhua was already lying beside him, and he put his hands on Mistress Sanhua's back, passing body temperature to each other, and gradually became sleepy.

　Thanks to the leader of the "talking plastic" boss, bowing and showing his chest.

　　Chest is so cold.
