The morning light shines on the river, making the waves sparkling.
The rich man sat on the bow of the boat and suddenly lifted the fishing rod. A fat fish jumped out and splashed in the water.
Zhike kept saying "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh", he quickly took out the fish basket and put the caught fish in it.
"It's been many years since I've fished." Rich Man Gao said, "I haven't lost my skills yet."
Zhike looked at the old face of the rich man in the morning light and felt a little sad. The rich man's biggest hobby is fishing. He has been lying on the bed and hiding in the house every day for these years, and has never touched a fishing rod again.
"In a few days, when the affairs of Momen are stabilized and the young master can take charge of his own business, the master will get better and go fishing every day." Zhike said.
"Hey, other people might say that if the sage's ambition is not realized, he will not have a day of leisure, but I won't say that." Gao Caizhu said with a smile, "Momen is handed over to Xiaoliu, I feel at ease.
.”
Zhike nodded: "Young Master is smart and tenacious, and he will definitely bring back the glory of Momen."
Someone called softly from the shore. Zhike looked back and waved to the handyman on the boat, who soon brought the person over.
"My master is not well." The visitor whispered, "Something happened."
Surprise? The wealthy man was a little surprised.
The person who came told the story.
Zhike frowned: "Are you sure he is from Momen?"
The visitor nodded: "The Bai family master has tested it, and several sets of code words are correct, and the grass knot gestures and etiquette are also correct."
Momen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, powerful people are not uncommon, but...
Zhike frowned: "If you drive people away at this time, you will definitely find problems."
We had expected everything, but we had not expected this, such an important gathering, and no one would be willing to leave until the outcome came out.
Who would have thought that someone would drive people away, and that they could be driven away.
Once someone leaves Bailou Town, the situation outside will inevitably be discovered.
"There are quite a few people gone." The visitor whispered, then raised his head to look at the rich man, "Young master, he"
Rich Man Gao asked: "What's wrong with Xiaoliu?"
"Young master also went out in the middle of the night." The visitor said, then lowered his head.
Zhike's scolding was already broken: "Why are you looking at the young master!"
The visitor knelt down and said, "Young Master, you left quietly. No one noticed you. You have already gone to look for him."
Zhike was about to say something, but the rich man Gao stopped him with his hand.
"This is not the first time." He said, "This kid is very capable. If he doesn't want to be watched, who can catch him?"
Zhike was uneasy: "If the young master finds out"
"If you find it, you will find it. Our Momen has been watched by the government. Although we are fully prepared, it is not surprising if we are discovered. Don't be nervous." Rich Man Gao said, looking at the river, this is not the time to relax, he
Put away the fishing rod, "Let's go and have a look."
In the green light of the wilderness, Gao Xiaoliu patted his robe a few times, swaying away the dust and grass blades, and stomped off the dew on the straw sandals wrapped with gold threads.
He looked ahead again. There were more people on the road, coming and going. The officers and soldiers who only checked the people coming in were also much busier than before. There were many people and things, and they were noisy and arguing from time to time. Some people were caught and put in chains.
Gao Xiaoliu turned and walked away.
There was no need to go out. That night, he saw all the open posts and hidden sentries on the roads and in the wilderness in all directions, and he understood it clearly.
Bailou Town was surrounded.
Sure enough, her rule of leaving if she loses has a purpose.
Other times when hearing this kind of rule, Gao Xiaoliu would definitely spit something arrogant or have a good fight with her, but this person was a bit like his friend.
If it was his friend, there must be a reason for proposing this rule.
He took advantage of the darkness to sneak out and take a look, and sure enough he saw it.
When Gao Xiaoliu was halfway carrying a branch of a tree, he met the Bai family and their servants who had come to find him. When they saw him, they were happy, uneasy, and annoyed at the same time.
"Master!"
"Master, where have you been?"
"Gao Xiaoliu, why are you running around!"
The servants surrounded him in confusion, and the elders of the Bai family scolded him.
Gao Xiaoliu waved the flower branch in front of the elder Bai's face: "Of course it's to express filial piety! I want to present the most beautiful bouquet to my grandmother."
What kind of filial piety? The elder of the Bai family said angrily: "You are showing filial piety to the old lady by not running around."
Gao Xiaoliu didn't listen and stopped arguing with him. He carried the flower branches on his horse and galloped towards the Bai family manor surrounded by people and pointed by passers-by.
Today's Baijia Manor is even more lively than before. In addition to eating at the flowing water table and watching the theater, there is another place to stay.
Previously, a shelf was erected after entering the door to hang the birthday greetings and calligraphy written by scholars to Mrs. Bai.
Later, in addition to calligraphy and paintings, other birthday gifts were also presented, including lanterns, carvings and dragon dances.
"Look, it's this dragon dance." One person pointed and shouted to the others, "It's just like the real thing."
Others looked at the dragon lanterns on display. The dragon lanterns were very big and beautifully carved, but no matter how beautiful they were, they were just dragon lanterns. How could they look real?
“There are so many temple fairs during festivals and festivals,” someone said.
Not everyone saw that day. Those who saw it felt regretful and proud at the same time. They stood in front of the dragon lantern and danced and described it to people who had never seen it. Before they could finish hearing the excitement, there were many children shouting in front of them.
Shouting "This light can run, this light can run."
The running lanterns are rolling lanterns. We have seen them at temple fairs during festivals and festivals. Children would make a fuss about them, but when other people looked at them, they would start making a fuss like children who have never seen the world.
"This lamp can run! How can this lamp run like this!"
Before the excitement here subsided, someone from the front shouted again, "Come and see this little kite, it can fly -"
Don't all kites fly? But what does it mean to fly by yourself? There was no wind today, and the crowds were pouring in.
Because there were so many people that they almost blocked the road, Gao Xiaoliu almost couldn't walk through with the flower branches, but he was not dissatisfied at all, with a smile on his face, and he looked around, stopping at every place and nodding in praise.
"awesome."
The elders of the Bai family couldn't wait any longer: "Today, compared with the knights, are you still going?"
Gao Xiaoliu flicked the flower branch: "Of course, I will be the winner."
There were gongs and drums on the stage, but this time there were no somersaults, flagpole climbing, or actors making people laugh, but martial arts.
Martial arts performances are common in street temple fairs, but they are different from what people are familiar with. The martial arts performances on the stage do not have lively gongs and drums, and there are no fancy moves, such as breaking big rocks on the chest.
But the people in the audience couldn't bear to look away, because the young man on the stage was well-dressed and good-looking, no matter how he looked.
"To celebrate my grandma's birthday, if you hit the number and fall off the stage, you lose." Gao Xiaoliu said with a smile, "But if you lose to me, you have to leave here."
The people watching the excitement in the audience did not think this was a big deal, while those who knew the inside story either sneered or frowned and shook their heads.
"It ruined the atmosphere!"
"Everyone is so arrogant. It's like one generation is worse than the other."
Meng Xichang looked a little surprised.
Shopkeeper Lu smiled: "Someone robbed you of what you were about to say."
Meng Xichang looked at the stage and smiled: "No matter who says it, just say it."
After saying that, he waved his iron hand and the man jumped onto the high platform.
