Chapter 205 Fisherman
The night was dark and windy, and the autumn was foggy and cold.
In a reed marsh, in a natural harbor, there were two black-sailed boats.
At the bow of the boat, two people faced each other, in a stalemate.
"Ah Qing, why are you doing this? Will I wrong you if you follow me?"
"Go away, or I'll call someone!"
"Hey, it's the middle of the night, and we're on the lake, who can you call?"
"I think you should just follow me. I promise you'll have a good life in the future."
"Bah, Scarface, you can't even support yourself, and you want someone to be your wife, to starve to death with you, or to be sold to a brothel by you?"
"Hmph, you stinky bitch, you don't want to drink the wine, you really think I'm interested in you, a dead girl, let me be frank, I saw the person you just fished out, hand him over, I'll let you go today, otherwise, you and your useless brother will have to feed the fish in the lake tonight!"
"You dare!"
"Hahaha, do you think I dare?"
"..."
The cold air, the damp bed, the fragrance of the reeds mixed with the fishy smell of the fishermen, the sound of the wind, the sound of the waves, the familiar yet unfamiliar environment, woke Xu Yang up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw himself lying on a narrow bed. There was a thin child standing beside the bed, groping him with his skinny hands, as if trying to find something valuable.
Xu Yang didn't say anything, letting him move, and only looked outside the cabin, where two people were arguing and confronting each other.
At this time, the child glanced at him and happened to meet his gaze.
"Ah!"
The child screamed and fell to the ground.
"Brother!"
Hearing the movement in the cabin, the two people confronting each other at the bow were startled, and then turned their heads and rushed in.
First was a girl wearing a straw raincoat and holding a harpoon.
She looked terrified and rushed into the cabin with a harpoon. She found that Xu Yang had woken up and her brother was sitting on the ground again, and she became even more panicked.
But she was panicked, but she didn't act rashly. She just went forward to grab her brother, pulled him to the edge of the cabin, and looked at Xu Yang in doubt.
Then, another person rushed into the cabin. He was a tall, bare-chested scarred man.
Scarred rushed into the cabin and frowned at Xu Yang who had just woken up, but soon he relaxed again and smiled. Then he stepped forward and asked with concern: "Young Master, you are awake. You fell into the water. My sister met you and fished you out of the lake. How are you? Are you okay?"
Xu Yang looked at him without saying a word, and his expression was calm.
Scarred smiled unchanged and continued: "The water in Wuze Lake is very cold in late autumn. I'm afraid you can't stand it. I'll get you a bowl of fish soup to warm you up."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave the cabin.
But he didn't expect...
"Bang!"
Xu Yang suddenly jumped up like a tiger, and pressed in front of him in an instant. His right arm hit his neck with his elbow, like a spear blasting out.
"Bang!!!"
"Crack!!!"
There was a loud bang, followed by a crisp sound of breaking, and the scarred man fell heavily to the ground. After a twitch, he fell and died.
"!!!"
This scene directly frightened the brother and sister behind them. Ah Qing's pupils shrank, and she was terrified but couldn't shout. She could only protect her brother behind her.
Xu Yang ignored them, squatted down, looked at the scarred man who had already died, stretched out his right hand, put two fingers together with the sword, and stabbed directly into the other's chest.
Although his clone has no cultivation now, it is also a qualified adult male. His strength is not small. With the martial arts force-generating skills and a clear understanding of the human body structure, this sword finger easily penetrated the skin and flesh, pierced into the heart from the sternum, and obtained a little heart blood.
Heart blood, the essence of life, condenses a lot of blood and qi, and can be used instead of mana when necessary.
This incarnation has no cultivation now, and no internal energy such as mana, so if he wants to perform Taoism, he can only do this trick.
The sword finger was retracted, and blood coagulated on the fingertips. Xu Yang raised his left hand, using the palm as the base and the blood as ink, and the sword finger was like a pen to draw, and in a blink of an eye it became a talisman.
Then, he clapped his left hand, and a red light flashed, and the heart blood talisman was directly hit into his forehead.
The spiritual talisman can communicate with the spirit and wisdom, helping the cultivator to communicate with various things. It can "speak human words to people and ghosts to ghosts", and it can understand the principles of heaven and earth and improve the cultivator's perception of heaven and earth.
After using this talisman, Xu Yang turned around and said to the trembling two people: "I have something to ask you."
The words he spoke were actually dialects, the dialects used by the two people just now.
Seeing that he spoke "dialects" so fluently, Ah Qing was also startled, and then woke up and knelt down in panic.
"Big, sir, it's none of my business, I don't know anything, it's not me who caused you to fall into the water..."
The girl spoke in a panic, trying her best to shirk responsibility.
She could never have imagined that the "noble man" who was pulled out of the water was so terrible that he beat Scarface to death without saying a word.
Although Scarface was a notorious rogue among the fishermen, he had no disrespect to this noble man just now. Not only did he greet him with a smile, but he also made fish soup to warm him up.
But he started to fight without saying a word and beat Scarface to death.
As expected, these nobles had strange tempers and were moody. They killed people at will and didn't care about the lives of these lowly people.
I was really crazy. I actually pulled such a person out of the water and wanted to plunder his things. If he knew...
Ah Qing's eyes trembled and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to touch the other person's gaze.
Xu Yang didn't care when he saw this.
He naturally knew that the other party who fished him into the boat was not a simple and kind-hearted fisherman.
Although this statement is a bit inappropriate, it is not groundless or without purpose.
The heavy pressure of reality and the hardship of life leave many people with no choice but to become "tough people" or even bandits.
The fisherman family is no exception. Xu Yang experienced a lot during his fishing days in Dongting Lake.
Many fishermen work as fishermen and boatmen during the day, and as water bandits at night, often seeking wealth and murder.
The two siblings were more than that, but they must have searched the corpse to see if there was any oil or water in it.
He was not a good person and had no good intentions, but he saved his life after all.
Otherwise, he who had just crossed over would have drowned in the lake out of frustration.
As for the scarred face... he looked like an old water bandit at first glance. He could just boil fish soup to warm himself up, and it would be more like calling someone back home.
"alright!"
Looking at the frightened fisherman girl kneeling on the ground, and the scrawny child huddled behind her, Xu Yang shook his head and said calmly: "I ask, you answer."
"Yes Yes!"
Although frightened, Ah Qing also knew that he could not move at this time, so he agreed with a trembling voice.
"May I have your name?"
"Ah, Ah Qing!"
"where is this place?"
"Five, Wuze Lake!"
"Wuze Lake, where is Wuze Lake?"
"This... Wuze Lake here."
"..."
After a conversation, Xu Yang finally figured out his current situation.
This lake is called Wuze Lake and belongs to Jiangning Prefecture, which in turn belongs to the Daxing Dynasty.
An ancient world that seems normal at present, a feudal dynasty.
But that's all for now. With the demonic energy that I drew before, this world is not that simple.
Not to mention, the malice he felt when he entered this world, and the painful screams from the whole world...
This world is filthy!
A force is eroding, filthy, filthy, and destroying this world!
This was Xu Yang's first feeling about traveling through time.
If it were anyone else, this feeling might be an illusion caused by the confusion of time and space.
But Xu Yang is not someone else, but a Taoist Heavenly Master.
Even if he is just a Yang Shen clone, his perception of heaven and earth will not be so fallacious.
Therefore, this world is really dirty.
Defiled by what?
Is it a demon?
Is it a demon?
Or human?
unknown.
The little fisherman girl in front of him could provide him with information about Wuze Lake, Jiangning Mansion, and the Daxing Dynasty.
Other things were beyond the reach of a fisherman girl like her.
Seeing the trembling two people, Xu Yang did not continue to ask, turned around, picked up Scarface's body and left the cabin.
After a while, he turned back and threw down a money bag and a few things in the frightened eyes of the two siblings: "If you don't want to cause trouble, just pretend that tonight's incident never happened, and don't talk to anyone. People say."
After that, regardless of how the two reacted, they turned around and returned to Scarface's awning boat.
Ah Qing looked at the things on the ground. He stayed for a while before reacting. He picked up the money bag and opened it. He saw a whole bag of copper plates and a few small pieces of broken silver.
"Sister, meat, meat, and salt..."
The thin boy tugged on the hem of her clothes and looked at the salt shakers and bacon on the ground. His whole body finally regained some vitality and vitality.
Ah Qing stayed for a while, then raised his head and looked longingly through the gap in the curtain of the cabin door. He saw a awning boat going farther and farther away, and soon disappeared into the thick autumn night mist. .
