Chapter 34: Python Fishing

In the fourth year of Yuanjia in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in the south of Shanglin Yuan, and the Kunming Pond was built by leading the Fengshui River, and it was forty miles around.

At the beginning of the establishment of Kunming Pool, it was for the training of the navy. At that time, there was a rebellion between Nanyue and Kunming, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty imitated the scale of Dianchi Lake and dug Kunming Pond. However, with the fall of the Nanyue Kingdom and the Kunming Kingdom, the Kunming Pool was immediately transformed from a military facility into a place for boating and playing. Since then, after hundreds of years, it has evolved into a magnificent scenery outside Chang'an City.

When Su Dawei arrived at Kunming Pool, it was noon.

He stood by the Kunming pool, looking at the vast water, and was a little dazed.

He seemed to have forgotten something...... That is, he didn't know where the Danyang County Mansion was.

In late spring, coupled with a light rain yesterday, the peaches and apricots on the lakeside withered. A path by the lake, peach and apricot white, makes people can't help but have a bleak feeling.

On the lake, on the shore, there is no sign of people.

"Wang!"

Kurosaburo gasped, squatted to the side, and barked twice.

It was drenched in sweat and its hair was soaked. But looking at it, it doesn't seem to be tired at all, but very energetic.

All the way down from Chang'an City, although there is a stop and go in the middle, the distance is not short.

Even the jujube red horse was a little tired, but Hei Saburo was still in high spirits and jumping happily.

Su Dawei squatted down, stroked its wet fur, and said curiously: "Hei Saburo, are you a monster?" ”

Ordinary dogs, running such a long way, must be too tired.

Hei Saburo shook his body, and water droplets splashed and fell on Su Dawei's body.

It jumped away, sticking out its tongue and gasping for air, but there was excitement in its eyes.

"You can't be a monster."

Su Dawei smiled, "It's impossible for a monster to be so skinny, it's just lawless." ”

He shook his head and held out his hand towards Kurosaburo.

Kurosaburo immediately obediently ran over and squatted down in front of him.

"It seems that I really wronged you before!"

Su Dawei said to himself: "In the future, when I am free, I will often take you out to play, so that you don't suffocate at home every day." ”

Kurosaburo seemed to understand, snorting and sticking out his tongue, looking very happy.

To be honest, Su Dawei really didn't think that Hei Saburo was a monster.

When Kurosaburo was very young, he was carried home by his predecessor. It's been eight years, and he and Su Dawei have become a mother and son, and they have long become a family. You must know that when Hei Saburo came to Su's house, Su Zhao was still alive. Although it is not clear what kind of skills Su Zhao has, according to what Gui Jianchao said, Su Zhao can kill Wei Wei, and it is obviously not idle.

If Hei Saburo had a problem, Su Zhao would definitely not let it into the house.

After that, Su Zhao died, leaving Liu Niangzi and Su Da as orphans and widows, and Hei Saburo never gave up.

According to the memories left by his predecessor, Su Dawei was bullied by the street several times, but Hei Saburo protected him. Not only him, but also Liu Niangzi. There is a saying that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, not to mention that Liu Niangzi, a person who has no background, occupies such a large homestead in Chongde Fang, and few people will feel red.

At that time, there were several times when someone bullied the door, but he was driven away by Kurosaburo.

Later, Zhou Liang became a bad person.

Relying on the official body, Zhou Liang tied up Su Dawei and ruthlessly cleaned up a few people who wanted to bully his mother and son, and the Su family could be considered stable.

Hei Saburo is estimated to be suffocating, and his physical strength is relatively good.

It's a magical world, and it doesn't seem surprising that the dogs have better physical strength.

Su Dawei didn't think too much, stood up, looked at the vast lake, and said softly: "There is not even a figure here, and it is difficult for me to find someone to inquire." Kurosaburo, what should we do? So where does the Duke of Danyang live? ”

Kurosaburo squatted beside him, motionless.

"Looks like there's a ship?"

Just when Su Dawei felt helpless, a flat boat appeared on the vast lake.

At the same time, a clear and distant eagle chirped in the sky.

A black falcon appears in the sky. It flies very high and flies in circles. If you look at it from the ground, you can only see a black dot. However, Su Dawei's eyesight is extraordinary, so he sees the divine horse falcon really.

What a falcon!

The falcon is a kind of eagle that can be seen everywhere in China.

Of course, this is everywhere, referring to the present. If it was in Su Dawei's previous life, it would have been difficult to see the swallow falcon.

"Wang, Wang!"

Su Dawei built a pergola with his hands and looked at the falcon, Hei Saburo suddenly screamed.

However, it did not bark at the falcon, but at the boat on the lake.

Hei Saburo's cry alarmed Su Dawei, who was watching the eagle. He was busy gathering his eyes to look at the lake, and saw the flat boat floating leisurely on the lake. On the flat boat, there was a man in a clothed man. He sat motionless in the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, as if he were fishing.

Blue sky, white clouds, rippling blue waves.

Flat boats, fishermen, gentle spring breeze.

What a harmonious scene,

But Hei Saburo's barking is a terrible scenery.

Su Dawei hurriedly squatted down, hugged Hei Saburo in his arms, and scolded softly: "Hei Saburo, don't make noise." ”

If it was at home, Su Dawei's words, Hei Saburo would be quiet. But now, instead of barking, it became more and more rapid and intense, as if there was something terrible in the lake.

Su Dawei also sensed that something was wrong, and was busy watching.

On the surface of the lake, there is a mist floating in the distance, wisps of fog, which makes the vision a little blurred.

Suddenly, Su Dawei stood up.

He saw that from the mist that filled the surface of the lake, a line of water was rapidly approaching the boat.

At the same time, the dark shadow in the sky also let out a rapid and high-pitched cry, as if to remind the man in the ship.

The man in the cloth is motionless, like an old monk.

The speed of the waterline was fast, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of the boat.

Immediately, the waterline disappeared and the lake returned to calm.

Hei Saburo's bark was even more rapid, and it bit the hem of Su Dawei's clothes, dragging him back, as if there was some danger hidden in the water.

"Hey, there's something in the water."

Su Dawei also sensed the danger.

He didn't see exactly what the waterline was.

But judging by the length of the waterline, and the waves it produces as it advances, and the speed, it can be surmised that it was not a fish.

The man in the coat turned his head.

Su Dawei saw clearly, it was an old man with crane hair and a childish face.

Looking at the age, there are also people in their sixties.

"Old man, let's go."

The old man heard this and smiled slightly.

Before he could speak, the lake suddenly rose into a huge wave.

The fishing rod in the old man's hand collapsed into a bow shape, showing the creatures underwater, which is not trivial.

"Come out for me."

But the old man did not panic, he suddenly got up from the boat, grasped the fishing rod with both hands, roared, and lifted it upward.

The lake, boiling, and formed a whirlpool.

The boat was in the middle of a huge wave, up and down, and it looked like it could capsize at any moment.

But the old man still stood firmly in the boat, clenching the fishing rod in his hand.

Crash!

A wave of water rose into the sky, splashing and splashing.

A huge python emerged from the lake, shaking its head and struggling desperately.

In its mouth, a fishing line is attached. After failing to break free of the line, the python became furious, and its body, about six or seven meters long, surfaced from underwater. It was a giant python with the thickness of a thigh, and after its body surfaced, its tail was raised and smashed down towards the flat boat. The old man on the boat was still unhurried. He yelled and shook the rod in his hand. The huge python was dragged out of the water by him and fell hard into the lake.

Rumble!

Huge waves roll.

The python struggled desperately, but could not shake off the fishing rod.

The black falcon in the air swooped down.

"Brother Jun go away, the old man is enough alone!"

The old man shouted angrily, and his voice echoed like thunder on the surface of the lake.

The falcon circled and took off again. And the python also seemed to have a premonition of fate, and the snake body wanted to wrap up the boat, but saw the old man throw it away again and drag it out of the water. The huge snake body drew a strange arc in the air and crashed into the lake. The old man held the rod with both hands, and let out another loud roar, dragging the python, which had not yet recovered, out of the lake again. After returning several times, the terrifying-looking python had become dying.

The old man urged the boat to lean over, took out a whip from the boat, snapped it, and whipped the python.

In just an instant, the python was beaten by the old man and his skin was open, and he was covered with scaly wounds.

The surface of the lake, stained red with snake blood.

The python was powerless to struggle, and let the old man drag it.

Su Dawei was on the shore, hugging Hei Saburo tightly. Because he sensed that Kurosaburo seemed to be very excited and wanted to rush into the lake. At the same time, he was stunned by the old man's crazy actions. So a python, let alone an old man, even a dozen young and strong, may not be able to deal with it. But in the old man's hands, it was so vulnerable.

"Eighty strokes, I'll teach you a lesson today."

The old man stopped wheezing, cut the fishing line, and urged the boat to retreat slowly along the undulating waves.

"In the future, if I know that you dare to hurt people, next time it will not be eighty lashes, Lao Tzu will definitely skin you and cramp, take the snake gall and go home to soak in water and drink."

The python was freed and was pleasantly surprised.

Although he was covered in bruises, he struggled to raise his head, nodded at the old man three times, and then his body instantly sank into the lake.

The surface of the lake soon returned to calm.

The old man set up his oars, rowed a small boat, and walked slowly towards the lake.

When the boat came to shore, he jumped out of the boat, then raised his hand, and listened to a short chirp of the falcon, swooped down, and landed firmly on his arm. Holding the eagle in one hand and tearing off the robe with the other, the old man strode over.

Su Dawei could feel it, and Hei Saburo was a little scared.

It hid behind Su Dawei, holding its tail between its legs, and let out a low whining sound.

"It's a tengu, but it's too small."

Su Dawei was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted that the old man was talking about Hei Saburo.

"It's eight years old, where is it?"

"Eight?"

The old man showed a stunned expression, looked at Su Dawei, and then at Hei Saburo, and immediately showed a sudden look.

"Eight years old, that's not too small.

It's a good dog, treat it well, and it will be good to you in the future. ”

"No need for the future, Kurosaburo is fine now."

"Really?"

The old man looked a little confused, but didn't say anything more.

He walked past Su Dawei, and as he walked, he took out a whistle and put it in his mouth and blew it vigorously.

A shrill whistle echoes across the sky.

Su Dawei's heart suddenly moved, and he said loudly: "Old man, please ask for something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know where the Duke of Danyang lives?"

The old man stopped, looked at Su Dawei and said, "What are you looking for that old man?" ”

"I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for Li Dayong, the son of the Duke of Danyang."

"What do you do to him?"

"He took my sword and crossbow and told me to come to him and ask for it."

"He took your sword and crossbow?" The old man glanced at Su Dawei twice, suddenly laughed, pointed at him and said, "So, are you San Lang's son?" ”

Su Dawei was a little confused.

But he reacted immediately, pointed at the old man and blurted out: "I know, you are a bird thief?" ”

After saying that, Su Dawei regretted it.

It's all to blame on Di Renjie, I don't have anything to say about Li Keshi's nickname. And his nickname is so interesting that Su Dawei blurted it out.

The old man was not angry, but laughed.

He pointed at himself and smiled: "That's right, I'm the bird thief, Li Dayong's kid, it's a little bird thief, hahaha." ”

Su Dawei's mouth opened, but he couldn't speak.

That's right, he is a bird thief, so Li Dayong is really a little bird thief!
