Movie name: "Mysterious Visitor: The Old Man Fishing"

Director: Me, Screenwriter: Me, Actor: Several.

According to common sense, actors always listen to the director and screenwriter's words, or just explain it plainly, and they should listen to me.

But reality is not optimistic. So what? Even if you don’t obey, you have to follow my plot, okay...

In my guess, this old man should be a capable man, but reality slapped me hard.

"Why are you looking at me?" Old Master Zuo looked at us in confusion. He first checked whether the clothes were dirty, and then checked the zippers of his pants. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he became even more confused.

:"What's wrong?"

"Do you know what that is?" Hai Dongqing asked without missing a word, and did not ask about the liquor directly.

"I know, don't you know?" Old Master Zuo's eyes looked at us even more strange. Maybe Hai Dongqing couldn't understand his eyes, but Uncle Fat and I obviously understood it.

That's a kind of gaze that looks at fools.

I smiled dryly and shook my head: "What's that?"

"A century-pinous monster, I saw it once in the Yangtze River, but it is not as big as this size, at most it is only half the size of it." Old Master Zuo said with a smile, and walked back to the fire with a wine pot, tilted his head and whispered.

The fat uncle had already expected it.

I frowned and couldn't help asking, "Can you explain it clearly? This is the first time we have seen such a thing."

"Have you read "Canglan Zhi"? It is the book written by Xie Ninglan of the Ming Dynasty." Mr. Zuo asked.

Hai Dongqing and I looked at each other for a moment, shook their heads, and said they had never seen it.

The fat uncle had a little excited expression and asked tentatively: "Have you read that book?"

"Old man, I have only three hobbies in my life." Old Master Zuo laughed and gestured at us: "The first is to drink, the second is to eat meat, and the third is to fish."

According to Mr. Zuo, he likes to read books when he is bored, especially records like aquatic organisms. It is so embarrassing to say that he catches fish but cannot recognize the species of fish in the future.

It's strange that this old man was also idle. After reading modern records, he said it was the same. He thought it would be better to read some ancient records and would be of some interesting significance.

The book "Canglan Zhi" is one of his most interested books.

(Note: Canglan Zhi, written by an unknown literati in the Ming Dynasty. His surname is Xie, his name is Xie Su (the fourth tone of the su), and his courtesy name is Ninglan. He is also a person who likes water and loves fishing. From a certain perspective, he comes from

He can also be considered a powerful person, which is comparable to Yunyouzi. Of course, the fields they are studying are different, one is a water creature, and the other is an evil spirit.)

"I have heard of that book for a long time. I have always wanted to read it, but the four (yes) opportunity to apply oil! I can't find it!" Fat uncle said excitedly: "I also recognize this thing, four (yes) century-legged monster, but

Hunger knows too little about this kind of thing, why don’t you explain it to Hunger people (Part 2)?”

I have said that the fat uncle has two characteristics: one is eating, and the other is his curiosity.

He only told me afterwards that the book "Canglan Zhi" can be said to be out of print. The ancient books handwritten by later generations plus only dozens of original ancient books, so it was really difficult to find this book.

Don’t think this book is boring. It is actually a book similar to the classics of Shanhai, but there are many documentary contents in this book, and of course, there are also some unbelievable content.

The following are excerpts from the book a few years later and are for reference only.

"South of the Yangtze River, there is a red wood with clear celestial wood. Its body is like a wood. When it enters the water, it hides. It lives in the water. People cannot see it. If you knock it with a stick, the fish body will scatter. It will become a pearl in three days and will be born again in seven days. It will be life and death.

, it is difficult for people to understand."

"The Yellow River is long, and it is not a thousand feet long. The Hanoi monster is not a thousand miles away. There is a monster called "eye". Its body is round and white, and its body has eyes, like human eyes. When you look at people for three days, you will die and fly.

.”

"There is a strange pond in Qiongzhou, which is a hundred feet deep, and it is only one foot wide. There are no fish in the water. If a person enters the pond, he will be swallowed. The strange fish head and human body. When people see it, they all retreat three feet away.

Go forward without courage.”

It is difficult to find the information in this book. It can be said that many people who are interested in unofficial history have never heard of this book at all, and even the person who wrote the book has never heard of it.

Perhaps many people reacted this way after hearing the author's name: "Xie Ninglan, which grandson is Xie Ninglan?"

Let's go back first.

When Mr. Zuo heard the fat uncle's words, he did not refuse. He smiled and waved his hand, signaling us to sit down first, as if he was planning to eat and drink while talking.

"Old man, I have met many strange things in my life. The one I just came out is not too rare." Old man Zuo smiled while drinking, with endless nostalgia in his tone: "I remember when I saw him in the Yellow River, I saw him in the beginning.

Something is much more exaggerated than this one.”

Upon hearing this, my curiosity was immediately hooked up and I hurriedly asked: "Can you tell me?"

"If you have anything to say, I'll tell you about this monster." Old Master Zuo smiled.

"Isn't this a jellyfish?" I was puzzled.

Mr. Zuo shook his head: "It's a monster, not a jellyfish."

I frowned and said in confusion: "Don't that look similar to a jellyfish?"

"Bad, in those ancient stories, ghosts still look similar to humans. Are they humans?" Mr. Zuo had the potential to become the leader of the debate team. He was able to do everything from one to the fourth debate, so he didn't run away.

I smiled awkwardly and said, "You said, I won't interrupt."

"You can't get involved, either." Old Master Zuo laughed and drank a sip of wine: "A century-legged monster, also known as centipede peach blossom, is different from peach blossom jellyfish. It is something that eats plankton, and this one grows up by fish eating.

, when it grows to a certain extent, it can eat people."

According to Mr. Zuo, the first time this thing appeared in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, but there is no specific record. The most clearly recorded in Canglan Zhi is the second appearance of this thing.

The following content was recorded during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and was noted by Xie Ninglan.

"In the year of Hongwu, monsters appeared in the Yangtze River."

"The strange life is like peach blossoms, delicate and transparent, one by one, one by one, and one by one, leisurely and free, not afraid of being a living person, and have the courage to play between people's fingers."

"The strange life is three months old, and his body is like a huge tank, gathering and collecting, swallowing fish and eating shrimps, hiding it in the water, hidden in it, no one can see it, revealing its body and feet, everyone is afraid of it, and its feet are poisonous, if people approach it,

He will be poisoned by his monster with his feet and swallowed it into his stomach, and he will die without saying anything."

"The strange thing is alive for June, and his body is like ten cylinders. To the north of the Yangtze River, no one dares to approach his body ten feet. This strange foot can step on the shore and walk on the ground. When the water shore is ten feet, no one dares to approach him."

"The Taoist said that this monster is afraid of wine and grain Du Kang, and can be used to make monsters."

Listening to the explanation given to us by Old Man Zuo, the fat uncle became more and more excited. The expression on his face was like the expression he usually looked at the animal world, and his face was full of "I'm so hungry and curious."

Hai Dongqing is not as exaggerated as Fat Uncle, but it is almost the same as me. As I listened, I became fascinated. I just felt that these things should be legends, not real ones.

"Since someone wrote it, there must be some basis for these things." Old Master Zuo burped and threw the fish bone in his hand to the ground. He burped continuously and said: "The more real the thing is, the more the more it is, the more it is.

It is exaggeration. The more exaggerated it is, the less people believe it. It is still the same sentence that is harmful. Seeing is true, hearing is false."

I nodded with deep emotion, took out a cigarette respectfully and handed it to Mr. Zuo.

"You speak deeply enough. You know so many things. It's amazing, really amazing." I praised the old man with a thumbs up to the sky. He smiled and looked helpful.

Haidongqing's heart that pretended to be cool was still too curious. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Old man, why is it afraid of white wine?"

Mr. Zuo shook his head: "I'm not a scientific researcher, how do I know why it is afraid of white wine?"

"This thing is weird enough, it's so sci-fi." I lit a cigarette for Mr. Zuo first, then lit a cigarette and smoked it myself, stood up curiously, and looked into the water: "You can sprinkle it with wine and follow it.

It's just like it's evaporated, but it's still invisible. This skill is a bit awesome."

"There are so many things you have never seen before." Old Master Zuo smoked happily.

"Why haven't you seen anything like this on TV?" Hai Dongqing asked.

Mr. Zuo’s answer is very philosophical and even interesting. I remember his answer at this time many years later.

He gave Hai Dongqing one sentence.

"You will see the program that goes up to science and similar to approaching science, and you will understand."

At that time, Hai Dongqing didn't understand what this meant, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized it.

Look at it the other way around, that should be like this.

For example, the name of a certain episode is "Hazy House: The owner was frightened by the song in the middle of the night!"

The final outcome of a show like this is: the residents upstairs or neighbors next door are so idle at night that they play singing in the middle of the night, ghosts and other things do not exist, so believe in science.

But after watching it in reverse, the answer to the show should be: Is there a ghost in the room? This is not bragging, the neighbors are not singing, it is a ghost!

After chatting with the old man for a while, he happened to say goodbye after getting the news we wanted.

"Don't be afraid to meet such things. As long as your body smells of wine, it will not dare to approach your body." Mr. Zuo sat on the bow of the boat and smiled and said, "If you have the chance in the future, our grandfather and the others will gather together again.

You little kids are quite interesting. Little fat guy, you are good at spreading salt and seasoning. Practice more. When you have the chance, I will eat the grilled fish you processed, haha!"

We all smiled and nodded in agreement, including Hai Dongqing. Although this old man is quite mysterious, no matter what, we all think he is a good person, well, a very interesting old man.

Speaking of this, I feel a little helpless. Such a powerful thing is actually afraid of white wine. What else can we say...

This world is indeed not something we can understand casually...

After Mr. Zuo said goodbye to us, he shook the oars. The big fish was still alive and was led by him at the bow of the boat, like walking a dog, looking so awesome.

Time passed quickly, and several hours had passed without realizing it. We only realized when we sent Mr. Zuo onto the boat.

It's going to be sunset.

"Let's go." Old Master Zuo took out the wine pot, drank the last little wine in the pot, and laughed and rowed the oars.
To be continued...
