Chapter 46 Nancheng Fishing Village
The boy in white and the man in blue who had walked far away could still clearly hear the conversation between them. He could not help but look at each other, and he suddenly felt suspicious in his heart - Didn't the "Phantom Saint" just come out of the main hall? Why did he return to the main hall with the "cold-blooded and ruthless"? The words and deeds between them just now seemed to be more estranged than strangers, which seemed to be unreasonable. Also, the conversation between him and us just now was more about "Human Nature and Human Heart"...
Although I have doubts in my heart, it doesn’t matter to me. Everything is just a dream and hope. Let him go...
Nancheng Fishing Village, outside the suburbs of Yangzhou Nancheng, not long after walking west along the moat, you can see a river crossing in front of you. The river is not very wide, but there is an island not far from the bridge ferry. With a slightly longer and remote arched bridge made of wood and bamboo, you can reach the island in front, which is Nancheng Fishing Village.
The island is not small, but the fishing village is not big. There are only a hundred households in total. Most of the residents on the island make a living by fishing. They occasionally plant melons and vegetables and raise poultry. The customs of the people are simple. No one would have thought that there would be such a paradise fishing village in this bustling and noisy suburb of Yangzhou.
Walking through the transition bridge, you will reach the shore of the fishing village. On both sides, there is a riverside road around the island. In the center, there is a slightly spacious main road of the fishing village, which directly leads to the residents in the fishing village.
"Uncle Fourth, did you and the uncle often come here before?" The young man in white looked around and saw the fishing village facing rivers and the isolated islands accompanied by water. He felt like he was isolated from the world. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart...
Yes," the man in blue casually reached out and pointed to the riverside path on the left, and walked slowly with the boy in white. "Whenever we were free, we would come here for a walk. This is indeed a good place and it was rare to see it."
There was no road on the riverside path, but as there were more people walking, it became a road.
"Yes, this is really rare..." The boy in white took a deep breath. The river breeze by the riverside and the breath of willows and flowers on the shore merged together, which was quite refreshing. He closed his eyes and captured the faint feeling of his heart with his heart, hoping that he would never wake up again after being drunk...
In the river not far away, there are several fishing boats casting nets to catch fish, and a happy expression is undoubtedly revealed on the faces of the fishermen. The occasional laughter and joy between them can better reflect their simple and open-minded nature of having few desires and few desires in their hearts and no greed.
"Although the fourth uncle and the uncle often come here, they only walk around the island by the river. Occasionally, they will be alone in a quiet lake in front of them, and feel at ease," the man in blue shirt quietly accompanied the boy in white to slowly walk the river by the river, "In order to just be quiet and quiet..."
"..." The boy in white opened his eyes slightly at this time, silently looked at Wangjiang River, then turned to scan the fishing village on the island, and asked quietly, "Uncle Fourth, have you and the uncle ever entered the village?"
"I rarely walk by," the man in blue also looked at the fishing village along the gaze of the boy in white, and then looked ahead. On the hillside of the island bank not far ahead, there was a simple house surrounded by bamboo fences. Suddenly, he smiled thoughtfully and said to the boy in white, "Feng'er, you should know the family in front."
"Well? Will I know the people there?" The boy in white was a little surprised and couldn't help but sneer, "Uncle Fourth, stop joking, I'm just here for the first time..."
"..." This time, the man in blue just smiled and did not reply.
"Wait a minute, Uncle Fourth," the boy in white turned his eyes and looked at the man in blue, with a strange expression on his face, "What do you mean when you deliberately change the topic?"
"What's the point?" The man in blue looked at the boy in white and wanted to laugh, but he still held back, "What do Feng'er want to know?"
"Why do you rarely enter the village?"
"Oh, just for this." The man in blue smiled, "It's nothing. Although the villagers are generous and the folk customs are simple, the uncles always feel that there are many noisy people, so..."
"There is nothing special or special in the village," the boy in white blinked and smiled in the man in blue. "Let you avoid it on purpose?"
"What are some things and places that we will deliberately avoid?" The man in blue smiled, "Stop teasing, Feng'er."
A man in blue shirt is cold and arrogant by nature. Even if he is a daughter, he can't make a smile on his face. However, he is very impressed with relatives and friendship, especially with a boy in white.
"Really not?" The young man in white was still rebellious, "Why did the fourth uncle change the topic for no reason and point out his other matters?"
"That's because..." The man in blue smiled and was about to answer, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he instantly smiled, "If there is something special in the village, there is one."
"..." This time, the boy in white did not look clever anymore, but he still smiled, "Look, if I don't say it, there will be no one as soon as I say it..."
"..." The man in blue shirt laughed again, and then said seriously, "It's in the square in the village. It's just a square in the fishing village, which is usually used for meetings, or for festivals, and funerals. It's nothing special..."
“…”
"However, the 'Wu Lin Captain' uses this place as a place to prove the martial arts with 'Fengyun Castle' and 'Xiaoyao Island'..."
"Oh? Can they compete with each other since the bloody battle that year?"
"How dare they?" The man in blue smiled coldly, frowned slightly, and his tone showed a sarcastic voice, "In fact, it was the 'Fengyun Castle' and 'Xiaoyao Island' that threatened and intimidated the 'Martial Land Captain'..."
"Why?"
"It's not because I'm afraid that the strength of 'martial arts capture' is increasing..."
"So why?"
"That's right, Feng'er," the man in blue smiled, his tone became much lighter. "The 'Fengyun Castle' and 'Xiaoyao Island' are afraid that they will be difficult to control and the puppet 'Martial Land Catch'. They want to use this to reduce their ever-increasing strength. They agreed to hold a martial arts meeting once every four years, but no matter whether they are killed or injured, the location is located in the square of the fishing village..."
"Will the 'martial arts capture' refuse to participate?"
"They cannot refuse. If they refuse, they will face another bloody battle."
"...Oh, then 'Martial Arts Captain' can be considered a trade-off and cons, and the complete list of insurance is guaranteed by a small loss..."
"Swish..." The man in blue snorted coldly, "Every issue of martial arts friends, basically the 'Mingyue Gate' takes the lead, and of course this was due to the intention of 'Qingfeng Gate'."
"Did the Fourth Uncle say that every issue is attended by people from the Mingyue Gate?"
"Well... it's not all. Of course, there are people from the 'Qingfengmen', but what's strange is that after each session, the people from the 'Qingfengmen' are just injured and come back, while the people from the 'Mingyuemen' are all going but not returning..."
"What's going on?"
"...I won't discuss it," the man in blue stretched out his right hand and shook it slightly. "What's more ironic is that they agreed that the date of the four-year period will be on the Mid-Autumn Festival night of August 15th... Next year's August 15th will be another four-year period..."
"Why is there a four-year agreement?" The boy in white didn't understand.
"Well, from the first day of joining the 'Wu Lin Catcher', it will take four years for the 'Wu Lin Catcher' to train the entries who have become successful and shortlisted party students." When the man in blue shirt said this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"..." The boy in white didn't say anything anymore, wondering what he was thinking.
The man in blue shirt stopped talking for the time being, just accompanied him silently...
