In Baihualing, there is a high hanging waterfall. The waterfall flows straight down, and below is a pool of clear water.
The pool is not big, and is surrounded by clean washed stones. A few unknown wild flowers pop out from the cracks in the stones, attracting flying butterflies to dance with them.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu was sitting motionless on the stone.
He held a bamboo pole in his hand, and on the tip of the bamboo pole, he randomly found a transparent silk thread and hung it into the water. The half of the fish float floating on the water looked like the feathers of some kind of bird.
If you are undecided about something and think about it all day long, you might as well go fishing.
His fishing rods, lines, floats, and fishhooks were all made by himself in Baihua Ridge. Since the painter said that the few things left behind by Old Xu were special and would not be of any help to his improvement, then
Jiang Xiaoyu simply made a set of his own.
For the past two days, Jiang Xiaoyu has been thinking about a question in his heart, that is, whether being with Chu Xue is what he wants. Finally, he thought clearly that if he was given some time, they could get to know each other better.
, Jiang Xiaoyu is naturally willing. However, the key issue is that this matter was forced by others.
In Jiang Xiaoyu's heart, freedom is higher than others.
This freedom naturally also includes the freedom of choice. If I like it, I will take it myself. But if I like it and you want to force it on me, then this matter is completely different.
But Jiang Xiaoyu is not a fool. At any time and in any place, life is always greater than freedom.
At this moment, he had already accepted Yun Manlou's arrangement. But deeper in his heart, the seeds of becoming stronger were planted. After all, only if he has the ability, he will not lose his freedom again and again in the future.
He thought that after this incident, he could make his own decisions and no one could impose his wishes on himself.
Although Jiang Xiaoyu was young, the experiences he had during this period kept recurring before his eyes, and he understood that it was time to start chasing freedom.
After all, glib cleverness is of no use when faced with some things.
Ever since, he kept chewing on the painter's advice.
Then I walked into Baihua Ridge, made myself a set of fishing gear, and found this deep pool.
Although Jiang Xiaoyu is still just fishing as before, he has begun to pay attention.
Ordinary things, as long as you pay attention, you will definitely get different results.
At this time, the fish float moved slightly, Jiang Xiaoyu decisively raised the fishing rod, and a two-inch small fish kept struggling on the hook.
Taking off the little fish, Jiang Xiaoyu threw it into the stream at the exit of the pond.
There is a small gap at the exit, and the fish in the stream will definitely not be able to swim back to the pond. The task Jiang Xiaoyu set for himself is to catch all the fish in the pond.
The fishhook is a crescent-shaped spike found only in a unique plant. This time, Jiang Xiaoyu did not hang bait on the fishhook.
The fishing rod was raised, and with a "whoosh" sound, the fishing line was swung straight, and it was exactly in a straight line with the fishing rod, no more, no less.
The fishhook slowly dropped with the fishing line. When the fishhook touched the water, circles of fine ripples swayed out. After touching the waves caused by the water of the waterfall in the distance, the ripples
It swung back again, but at such a height that it was almost difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.
The ripples that continued to spread in circles without impacting the ripples were like a picture full of mystery, unfolding in Jiang Xiaoyu's mind.
Faintly, he felt as if there was an ocean in his body. The ocean was as calm as a piece of polished jade, but this piece of jade was so big that the boundary could not be seen.
Carefully feeling the mysterious change of the fishhook entering the water, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly felt that a faint feather fell from the middle of the ocean in his body.
Then, ripples appeared.
The ripples spread slowly from the middle of the sea to all directions.
Every time you move your finger further, the height of the ripples will double.
However, when the ripples were thousands of miles away from the center of the ocean, Jiang Xiaoyu could still faintly observe the disturbance of the thin hairspring.
There is no edge on three sides of the sea. But on the fourth side, there is an unfathomable dike.
Eventually, the disturbance slowly, slowly spread to the dam.
A drop of seawater, as fine as dust, overflowed the dam.
Jiang Xiaoyu frowned suddenly. He suddenly felt that the fishing rod in his hand, the float on the fishing rod, and the fishhook in the water seemed to have a pair of eyes of his own. The scenery around these things was extremely clear. Moreover,
Looking at the same scenery from different places and different angles, Jiang Xiaoyu found that it seemed to present a completely different aesthetic feeling.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyu slowly closed his physical eyes.
But his mind is on the fishhook.
Faintly, a naughty fish swam over.
But it missed the fishhook.
Then, another fish swam over. Jiang Xiaoyu's hands trembled slightly, and the force was transmitted along the fishing rod to the fishing line. The fishing line in turn transmitted this weak force to the deep water and the fish in the water.
hook.
Fishhook, fishhook, dancing freely but in a controlled manner.
Unfortunately, this strength was still a bit lacking, and Xiao Yu'er was able to resolve the impending disaster in Yusheng after all.
Looking at Jiang Xiaoyu from a distance, he was completely motionless with his eyes closed.
Only when you get close to you can you notice that his hand is moving slightly at a level that is difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Every little tremor can make the underwater fishhook dance just right like a fairy.
Time passed slowly, Jiang Xiaoyu sat from dawn to dusk, then from dusk to late night, and then from late night to dawn again...
The morning sun was shining warmly, and the little rays of light projected through the leaves kept brushing away the cold feeling on Jiang Xiaoyu's body all night long.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoyu raised his wrist, and the fishhook brought a small fish out of the water. But strangely, there was not even a small splash on the water.
Jiang Xiaoyu stood up suddenly, put down his fishing rod and stretched out, only to hear the crackling sound of the bones all over his body.
On the edge of the cliff above the waterfall, Chu Xue also slowly stood up. Her face was full of exhaustion, but when she saw Jiang Xiaoyu catching the fish, the smile that appeared on the corner of her mouth had not yet dissipated.
Jiang Xiaoyu looked up and saw her back.
He wanted to say hello, but didn't know how to say it.
Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head, packed up his things, and headed towards Hualong Garden.
