167 Returns, When I Visit Immortal Friends, I Don't Recognize The Road, Long Yingu Befriends Hu Chun

167 times, I met a friend who was visiting me and I didn't recognize me on the way, and Long Yin Gu got along with Hu Chun

"Is there a real immortal family living in seclusion? Could it be the master who helped to catch the Five Demons the night before?" Mei Zhenyi asked in surprise. Longgan Lake is not too far from Daguan Lake, but only about a hundred miles away. If there were any immortal masters nearby who helped that night, they might have lived here.

"Master, do you know this immortal family? I also think this place is unusual, but I didn't notice the traces of immortals." Zhiyan also said on the side.

"If you don't want people to notice, you will naturally not reveal any traces. Zhenyi and Zhiyan, since you have passed by here, you may have helped us. Do you want to make a fairy relationship?" Zhongli Quan asked, shaking his fan.

Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan said in unison: "Of course I thought about it, and I was about to say thank you, so I don't know how to make this immortal relationship?"

Zhongli Quan smiled and said, "This kind of thing is impossible. Let's see if they are willing to show up. Let's go to the lake to take a look."

Zhang Guo and others drove their cars and horses along the lake to play by themselves, and waited by the official road north of Longgan Lake. Zhongli Quan led Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan along the other direction, and saw a fishing village a few miles away.

The village is built on the high ground, with many bamboo poles on the lake beach and many nets. There are more than a dozen boats next to the lake, and someone is on the springboard. Zhongliquan walked over and asked, "Boatman, I have traveled here. Can I take your boat into the lake for a trip?"

After asking several of the boats, the boat owners said that this was a fishing boat and they wanted to go into the lake to fish and could not bring idle people to enjoy it. Until the end, a young man in his twenties was wearing coarse cloth clothes with patches and was moving fishing nets on the boat. Seeing Zhongli Quan asked, he replied: "Master, it's okay to take you a few on the boat. As long as it doesn't prevent me from fishing, my boat is both broken and small, and if there are big waves when you walk to the middle of the lake, I'm afraid it's not safe."

Mei Zhenyi: "It's okay, we all have good water skills. I'm afraid that on the boat, I'll delay your fishing. If you take us out of the lake, I'll give you twenty kilograms of fish to compensate."

The young man glanced at them, thought for a while and said, "Are you tourists passing by? The scenery of this lake is really good, it doesn't cost twenty kilograms, and ten kilograms of fish is enough."

After discussing it, it was about to board the ship. The young man stopped them and handed over a few things and said, "Tie this to your body, and you can still maintain peace if you fall into the water together."

Mei Zhenyi saw that the young man handed over three "life jackets". Don't think that life jackets were only available in modern times. In ancient times, fishermen had this kind of thing. There is a plant called gourd, which is long like cucumbers, but it is much longer than cucumbers. After it grows, it will be like a gourd, and the flesh inside is very light.

Hang two gourds on one left and right in front of the shoulders. Tie them with a thin hemp rope, which is an ancient life jacket. Generally, fishermen with good water properties do not use them themselves, but when there are children on the boat to help, parents usually tie two gourds on their children to prevent them from falling into the water.

Mei Zhenyi did not refuse. She took the gourd with a thin hemp rope tied it to Zhiyan first. She then fined it for the master. The three of them looked quite strange, and they were laughing secretly at a glance. Give the young man ten cents, and the three of them boarded the boat and rowed towards the center of the lake.

I learned about it while chatting on the boat. The young man was named Hu Chun. His parents died early and he was the only one in his family. He usually made a living by fishing. Hu Chun collected money and moved the fish nets and ropes on the boat, so that the three tourists could have a clean place to settle down. He first left the shore and then rowed forward, but did not fish, but went directly to the depths of the lake. He also explained the scenery and folk legends of the lake.

Mei Zhenyi advised: "We just go to the lake to see the scenery. You don't have to deliberately greet us. If you need to fish, fish, and don't delay your livelihood."

Hu Chun shook his head and said, "I have to take your fish money and play with you. The fish splashed with water. Don't dirty the clothes of the three of you."

Zhiyan also asked: "We came from Shuangfengji and saw the Lake God Temple Fair. There are many temples here. Are there any gods in your Longgan Lake?"

Hu Chun shook his head honestly again: "No. At least I haven't heard of it."

As a country fisherman, Hu Chun is quite clever in speaking and speaking and behaves well. He has never seen a fairy-like figure like Zhiyan. He secretly peeks at Zhiyan from time to time. Mei Zhenyi is smiling secretly and blinking at Zhiyan, and the meaning is as if saying: "Zhiyan, that young man peeks at you, are you beautiful?" Then he looks like Fairy Zhiyan is hanging two gourds with hemp ropes on his shoulder, which is really funny.

Gradually the boat had already sailed into the lake. The fishing village on the shore looked like a small dot on the horizon. Hu Chun asked again: "Three guests, where do you want me to shake the boat? There are several islands nearby, and the flowers and birds have a good view."

Zhong Liquan waved his hand and said, "No need, just pass through the lake, we will get off the boat on the other side."

Hu Chun: "This lake is very big, and it may be dark when you go there."

Mei Zhenyi: "What, is it not convenient for you to go back? I'll add more money to you."

Hu Chun quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I mean. I'm easy to deal with. Just stop the boat and rest overnight. I'm afraid you will miss the Sutou."

Mei Zhenyi: "Don't worry about us, the official road is not far from the lake. Just shake it slowly. We just want to see the scenery and don't rush to rush."

Seeing that it was already noon, the boat stopped to the center of the lake and had a rest. The cool breeze blew and felt very comfortable. Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan both looked at Zhongli Quan with inquiring eyes - why didn't they notice any traces of the immortal family wanting to show up?"

Zhongli Quan touched his beard and thought for a while, and said to Hu Chun: "Young man, since you are not in a hurry, just throw a net, anyway, you are idle."

Zhiyan also advised when he heard this: "Hu Chun, I have never seen a fisherman cast a net before. It is rare to have a fishing boat tour the lake. Just cast a net to open my eyes."

Hu Chun stood up and clapped his hands and said, "The water here is deep and too clear, so fish may not be able to be caught. Since the Taoist priest and the girl want to see the casting net, I will cast it once... The three of you stood firm, and the boat would shake when casting the net."

Hu Chun stood still, stepped onto the boat gang with one foot, held the knot with his left hand, held the fish net with his right hand, twisted his waist and turned around and stretched it very beautifully. The fish net flew out and spread out in the air to cover the water surface, very clean and neatly. The boat shook slightly, and Mei Zhenyi saw that his master also raised the fairy fan and waved it into the lake. I don’t know what he had pounded.

Hu Chun carefully closed the net and tried not to let water droplets splash on Zhiyan and others. There was no fish in this net, but there was something in the fish net.

This is a wooden agarwood box with very exquisite patterns on it. Although it was made from the water, the box was not wet at all. Hu Chun was also stunned when he hit such a strange thing in the net. Zhongli Quan said on the side: "Young man, this may be more valuable than fish. Open it quickly and take a look."

Hu Chun opened the wooden box and immediately shone brightly in the sun. He saw a box of longan-eye-sized pearls. Mei Zhenyi was born in a wealthy family and had never seen so many, such big and beautiful pearls!

Hu Chun opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time. Mei Zhenyi was also surprised. Could it be that the master was playing the trick of "turning stones into gold"? He carefully sensed it with his spiritual sense, but did not find any flaws. At this time, Zhiyan quietly said with his spiritual thoughts: "This is not an illusion, or a real box of pearls. I wonder what articles the master is doing?"

Zhongli Quan patted Hu Chun on the shoulder with a fan and said, "Young man, don't be stunned. What a good luck, you're rich today!"

After a long time, Hu Chun let out a long breath and said, "Pinch me, is this dreaming?"

Mei Zhenyi stepped forward and pinched him so hard that he screamed, and said with a smile: "It's like a broad daylight. It's really true." He said to the master with a divine thought: "Can you always steal the things from that immortal family? If someone comes to the door, what do you do?"

Zhongli Quan returned to his senses and joked: "Don't you want to see if the immortals in seclusion here will appear? It's good to have a relationship with immortals. If you can't afford to pay Mingzhu, you will pay you to others. The eldest master of Duke Nanlu is much more valuable than a box of Mingzhu."

Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan knew that the origin of this box of pearls was abnormal, so they were waiting for an immortal to appear, but they waited until the fishing boat docked at dusk. Nothing happened! That afternoon, Hu Chun looked a little dazed and very absent-minded. It was not until the boat was docked that he woke up and said, "Several people, the place has arrived, please get off the boat... There is a small road ahead leading to the official road. I will send you a ride, and I will also go to the nearby town to buy some oil and salt, and do something by the way."

Mei Zhenyi and others took off their "life jackets" and got off the boat. Hu Chun put the box of pearls in his arms. He found a big stone on the shore to tie the boat and followed them to the shore. Zhongli Quan smiled and said, "Young man, don't you be afraid of being stolen if you throw the boat like this? Don't care if you make a fortune?"

Hu Chun replied: "I usually stop the boat like this, no one will steal it here."

There were flowers and plants on the shore of the lake, and there was a bamboo forest in front of it. There was a curved path in the forest leading to the official road in the north. Everyone followed Hu Chun into the bamboo forest and heard the crying of a woman coming from the front. Hu Chun's face changed: "This is in the wilderness, how could a woman cry? Did something happen?" He quickly accelerated and ran over.

A turn in front of him was sitting on the side of the road, wearing a squid hairpin and a lake blue lichen dress, covering her face with her hands and crying. Hu Chun stepped forward and said, "Miss, why are you the only one in this wilderness? What happened?"

The woman put down her hand and raised her eyes. The tears on her face were not dry, but everyone felt her eyes lit up. She saw her bright eyes, white teeth, beautiful and elegant face. She was about twenty years old. Mei Zhenyi had never seen a beautiful woman, but she was surprised to see such a woman in this wilderness.

What's more special is that with spiritual sense, the fluctuations in her spirit were unable to detect the fluctuations in her body. There was only one explanation - this person was not a mortal! He discovered the abnormality, and of course Zhongli Quan and Zhiyan also discovered it, and both of them stood still and stopped talking and just looked at it.

The woman replied, "My surname is Long, and my little name is Yin Gu, so I live by Longgan Lake. I accidentally fell into the water while traveling by the lake this morning and was washed away by the waves. I have been walking by the lake for most of the day, and I don't know how to find it. I saw that it was getting late and lost, and I was anxious and afraid."

Mei Zhenyi understood what was going on when she heard this. Zhongli Quan made Hu Chun throw a net and take away other people's land. Now Long Yin Gu appeared to block the road. The three of them looked at Hu Chun to see how he answered?

Hu Chun was stunned and bowed to ask, "What does the box the girl threw out looks like?"

"One foot long, more than six inches wide, one inch thick, agarwood carved... Did this elder brother see it?" Long Yingu stood up and nervously grabbed Hu Chun's sleeve.

Hu Chun: "I cast a net in the lake today and I did make a box. I would like to ask the girl more. How many pearls are there in the box?"

Long Yin Gu: "No more, no less, exactly ninety-eighty-one! Since you have found it, please give it back to me."

"Slowly, I need to point it out clearly... Three, please come and testify. I haven't taken one of the pearls in the box." Hu Chun took out the wooden box and put it on a stone beside the road to open it, counting it in all fourteen, and there were only 81 pearls. Then he closed the box and handed it to Long Yingu: "Girl take it back. It's all here, don't lose it again."

Mei Zhenyi and others were secretly surprised and nodded repeatedly. Unexpectedly, the fisherman in the mountains and fields had no desire to take possession, so he returned a box of pearls to Long Yin Gu so happily, and did nothing vaguely. Long Yin Gu took the wooden box and fell down and bowed: "I would like to thank you for your name in the future."

Hu Chun quickly reached out to help him: "My surname is Hu, my name is Hu Chun, and I am a fisherman in Hujia Village. Girls don't have to be polite. Who has not been in trouble, but just happened to help you. It's almost dark, so go home quickly."

When Long Yingu saw the sky, she almost cried again: "I'm lost and don't know how to go home."

Hu Chun asked: "I am familiar with the area around Longgan Lake. Where is your home?"

Long Yingu: "I can't explain it clearly. I only remember that there are three large camphor trees on the shore of the lake, and I just walk ashore from there."

Hu Chun thought for a while and said, "I have an impression that I saw three big camphor trees from afar when I was fishing in the lake. That place is not close. I have to bypass most of the lake. It is too late to walk today."

Long Yin Gu was anxious and opened the box and took out a pearl and said, "I beg Brother Hu to send me a trip. This is a little thank you for the little girl."

Hu Chun looked at the sky and said, "It's sunny. When it's dark, you can watch the starlight boat. It doesn't matter if you don't walk into the lake. Girls don't have to give me this pearl. Five cents of money is enough. If it's inconvenient to bring money today, it's not too late to pay when we meet again." Then he turned around and said, "Everyone, I won't accompany you to walk forward. I'm going to send this girl home. You can't let her sleep in the wilderness. You can't walk along this road. It's the official road."

Zhongli Quan clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, this guy!" He stepped forward and bowed to Long Yin Gu and said, "I am known as Mr. Donghua. I am destined to meet the girl today. It's so lucky to meet!" Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan also bowed together and said, "Miss Long. Good to meet!"

Long Yin Gu looked at Hu Chun and asked weakly: "Brother Hu, these three are..."

Hu Chun: "These three are passing tourists. They are all good people... Miss Long, it's going to be dark soon, let's go quickly."

Long Yin Gu bowed back and returned a bow. As Hu Chun left, the two of them disappeared at the turn of the road. The three of them stood there and watched. After about a cup of tea, Mei Zhenyi laughed out loud: "Master, I have appeared, and you have also signed up for the title, but Long Yin Gu ignored you!"

Zhongli Quan knocked on his apprentice's fan: "Why are you laughing at? Don't they ignore you?"

Zhiyan pursed her lips and said, "We are visiting the lake to visit fellow Taoists of the Immortals, but Long Yin Gu appears, but it seems that she is not here to see us."

Mei Zhenyi: "Today is not our immortal fate, but Hu Chun has an immortal fate."

Zhiyan punched him gently and joked: "Why, are you disappointed?"

Mei Zhenyi: "No, no, no, I'm just happy for Hu Chun. That person is very good."

Zhongli Quan: "It's not just good! Seeing that he was not a simple and ignorant person, he was smart and did things carefully and appropriately, and he was even more rare. No wonder Long Yin Gu took back Mingzhu and asked him to send him a trip, just to take this opportunity to get to know him."

Zhiyan: "Master, you can sign up for your name, and then Long Yin Gu should be able to see our identity, but ignore it. She doesn't even reply to the secret divine thoughts. This is a bit strange."

Zhongli Quan pondered and said, "Maybe there is her own reason. The one who helped to get the monster the night before yesterday should be this Long Yin Gu. He did not show up at that time, and today he would not say that he had the identity of the immortal family. Since that is the case, we should not force others to do so."

Mei Zhenyi smiled and said, "We are not in vain today. The master waved a fan and helped Hu Chun get that box of pearls. It was also his chance to get to know Long Yin Gu."
