"What I enjoy is the fun of fishing. It doesn't matter whether I eat fish or not." The old man faced the long clear water, as if talking to himself.
Xu Qing didn't find it strange. Some people pursue a kind of comfort and do whatever they want. Just as the old man said, just enjoying the fun of fishing is enough.
"Are you leaving?" Xu Qing asked casually when he saw that the old man had packed his things.
The blind old man put his hands behind his back and said, "I was ready to leave, but when I heard your voice, I wanted to stay a little longer. Old Man Wang has taken on a good apprentice!"
Xu Qing's heart was shaken, his expression became wary, and he whispered: "Do you know my master?"
The blind old man smiled calmly and said: "Zhengyang hand Wang Tiangang, a silly old man who has wasted more than twenty years of his life on promises. If you stand in front of me, you can smell a hot smell from a long distance away. Except for Zhengyang,
There can't be the second kind on the ground in Jiangcheng beyond Gong."
Can you smell the practiced skills with your nose? This is amazing! When Xu Qing heard that the old man admired his master Wang Tiangang, Xu Qing couldn't help but relax a little, and smiled: "Old man, I didn't expect you to do the same.
Gu Wu, no wonder the hand you were fishing with just now looks mysterious."
The blind old man raised his brows and said, "Come closer and stretch out your left hand for me to touch."
Xu Qing didn't know why, so he naturally took a few steps forward and extended his left hand to the blind old man.
The blind old man stretched out two skinny fingers and gently placed them on Xu Qing's vein gate. He lowered his eyelids and pretended to be attentive. After about a quarter of an hour, he withdrew his fingers and said with emotion: "Old Man Wang
What a great apprentice! He has reached the peak of the Yellow Realm at a young age, and he can directly enter the Mysterious Realm once the Ren Du’s two meridians are connected. I have to be convinced by this old man’s vision!"
Although I don't know what the relationship is between the blind old man and his master Wang Tiangang, judging from the current attitude, it seems that the two are friends rather than enemies.
In fact, Xu Qing's guess was completely wrong. This blind uncle was once the only ancient warrior in Jiangcheng City and even the entire province who could compete with Wang Tiangang. However, now he is blind, and his former glory has turned into helplessness and twilight. He can no longer compete with Wang Tiangang.
Old rivals duke it out.
Let the fish return to the water, and you won't care who is strong or weak. The blind old man has now learned to let go, and compete with the strong and the weak. All of this is just a cloud. If you are blind, you can see the world with your heart, and sometimes you can hit the target more directly.
The essence of things.
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment and asked stupidly: "Is there any way for me to help me connect the two channels of Ren and Du?"
The blind old man smiled and shook his head and said: "If the old man helps you penetrate the Ren and Du channels, I'm afraid you will never be able to enjoy the fun of fishing again!"
Xu Qing was disappointed for a while. He knew that helping others to open up the Ren and Du channels was very tiring. What the blind old man said seemed to have an impact on lifespan. It seemed that he was too reckless.
The blind old man bent down to pick up the empty fish basket, turned around and walked away. After walking nearly ten meters, he stopped in vain and said: "Young man, I will give you a word, don't sharpen your sword, don't sharpen your awl, for sharpening your awl will make a small profit..."
Looking at the blind old man's back in the distance, Xu Qing shook his head in confusion, turned around, jumped into the water, and continued to swim toward the embankment using a clumsy dog-paddle style.
When Xu Qing swam to the embankment, he found that the water was crowded with people. There were several times more people coming to swim. Colorful lifebuoys and life blankets were floating on the water, like pieces of beautiful floating rafts.
Swimming is a sport that consumes a lot of energy. Even though your mouth is dry, you don't dare to drink even though there is water all around you. Xu Qing understood this now and found a slope to sit down by the embankment, half of his body still wet.
While immersed in the water, he was still thinking about the blind old man's words.
Sharpen your sword, don't sharpen your awl; sharpen your awl and you will make a small profit. Xu Qing knew that this saying came from a miscellaneous song by Yuan Zhen in the Tang Dynasty. When traveling, it just means to have great ambitions and not to be limited to the small profits in front of you. This puzzled him.
What does this have to do with connecting the Ren and Du meridians?
"Are you thirsty?"
A bottle of Nongfu Spring was suddenly handed to him from behind. He turned around and saw Zhu Dan standing behind him with a smile. Xu Qing took the mineral water and thanked him, unscrewed the cap and drank it cleanly.
Zhu Dan smiled and said, "Why don't you swim anymore?"
Xu Qing put down the empty mineral water bottle and said with a wry smile: "I'm almost turning into a steamed bun if I keep soaking in the water. It's better to just sit and watch others swimming."
Zhu Dan smiled and said: "There are still more than two hours before the meeting, why don't we go boating?"
The beautiful woman invited her, but Xu Qing couldn't think of any reason to refuse, let alone a beautiful woman in a swimsuit. He naturally nodded in agreement. The two of them walked side by side to the place where the boat was rented.
A small pedal iron boat costs 20 yuan per hour, which is not expensive. Zhu Dan rented it for two hours, but her money was actually put in a zip-top plastic bag in the inner pocket of her swimsuit, which made Xu Qing secretly sigh.
Although he has a net worth of over 100 million, he can't even show off a woman's attentiveness to even a companion.
The two got on the boat, and of course Xu Qing did the hard work of rowing. Zhu Dan leisurely flicked the water beside the boat with his fingertips, and the two chatted while rowing. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed, and Xu Qing began to control the boat to return.
, just at this moment, there was a sudden popping sound on the water next to the boat, and a large carp that was two feet long jumped out of the water, with its head and tail down, and was about to fall into the water again.
It was too late and Xu Qing reached out with his left palm and quickly fished it back. The big carp landed in the cabin with a clatter and jumped back into the water. Unfortunately, it only took two jumps before it was caught.
A bare foot stepped on the fish's head, and he no longer had the strength to struggle, so he could only move his big tail in vain.
"What a big fish, we are so lucky!" Zhu Dan's pretty face turned red with excitement, completely ignoring the fact that there was still a thin fish scale on the tip of her nose.
Xu Qing smiled and relaxed his feet and said, "I'll give you this fish to stew in soup. I'll put it in a bag when we get ashore."
Zhu Dan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, not to mention I usually like fish soup the most."
Xu Qing said smoothly: "Fish soup is beautiful, especially carp soup, it is also rich..." Fortunately, this guy stopped in time and swallowed the word "breast".
Zhu Dan seemed to have not recovered from the excitement, and kept touching the big carp with his hands. Unfortunately, the fish would not enjoy the touch of the beautiful woman, and even its eyes began to turn white, and it opened and closed its mouth feebly.
The fish in the reservoir are not domesticated, but illegal fishing is never allowed. As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if there is no fish, the water will die. Fishing will not affect the ecological balance of the water, like this carp caught by Xu Qing
Of course you can handle it yourself, and others will just say "good luck" when they see it.
After parking the boat, Xu Qing hooked the gills of the fish with his index finger and went ashore. He and Zhu Dan received the deposit together and asked for a bag to put the fish in. Even those who rented the boat were amazed and said that they were lucky.
