Blackwater City——

There was a knock on the door of Linshan Courtyard early in the morning when there was no one around.

Chu Shan went to open the door, and there was a middle-aged man in gray and linen clothes at the door. There were two baskets filled with fresh vegetables on the ground.

Seeing Chu Shan, he was the first to put up a smile on his face: "I just found out today that the master of the mountain courtyard is back. I came a little late. I just picked these vegetables from my own garden today for the adults to taste."

taste."

Chu Shan was a little confused: "No, we...the owner of this yard is not here. I'm afraid you sent it to the wrong place."

The man was still smiling: "That gentleman once said that anyone who can open the door of the mountain courtyard is the owner of the mountain courtyard. I will leave the things at the door. You can take them and I will bring them to you tomorrow if there are fresh ones.

Come, I will collect these baskets tomorrow. Oh, by the way, there is a lantern festival in the city today. If you are interested, you can come and have a look. It is very lively."

After the man finished speaking with a smile, Chu Shan didn't even have the chance to refuse, and the man left directly.

Chushan was alone in front of two big baskets of vegetables in a daze.

"Brother, what's wrong? Who is it? Ah, so many things?"

Seeing Chu Shan open the door and not coming back for such a long time, Chu Keer was a little worried and came over to take a look, but she saw two big baskets of things.

Chu Shan scratched his head with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "He must be a resident of the city. He should know the owner of this yard and come to deliver things. Forget it, move the things in first and ask the junior uncle how he made such food.

."

Without letting Chu Ker'er get involved, Chu Shan carried two large baskets into the yard alone.

"Little Master Uncle, Little Master Uncle, come out quickly."

Ding Sese opened the door, and the first thing that caught her eye were these two baskets of seasonal vegetables.

"This is……"

"Sent by the people at the foot of the mountain."

Chu Shan repeated the man's words to Ding Sese again.

Ding Sesu said: "Take it down. Anyway, I'm tired of eating Bigu Dan these days, so I just want to try something else."

"Um...junior uncle, can you cook?"

Ding Sese:......

Forgot that you need to have cooking skills to eat hot meals.

Looking at Chu Ke'er, Chu Ke'er shook her head hurriedly.

Shinya: "If you don't mind it, I can give it a try."

Then he saw Chu Shan take out two freshly killed chickens and ducks from the basket...

Shinya: "You'd better dislike it, actually I won't..."

Everyone:......

Ding Sese shrugged: "Okay, leave it alone. The owner of this yard should be back soon. I'll leave it to him when the time comes."

Ding Sese never said who the owner of the yard was, only that he was his friend, and Chu Shan was particularly interested in Ding Sese's friends.

"Really? Junior uncle, when will he come? Is he also a very powerful person?"

Ding Sese smiled: "Yes. By the way, he said there will be a lantern festival tonight? I have nothing to do at home anyway. Let's go out for a walk tonight?"

Naturally, no one objected to Ding Sese's proposal, so Moli was locked up for now. They were not in a hurry to deal with him anyway. If they really did something ruthless, people from Miasma City might actually be able to come after him.

Ding Sese, Chu Shan, and Chu Keer have never participated in any lantern festival. As for Zhenya and Ben Shunli, no one cares about them.

And Chu Keer at the lantern festival was obviously a little happier than before.

I don’t know what festival it is today in Black Sea. There are crowds of people on the streets. Everyone wears masks of different shapes on their faces. They hold lanterns in their hands and walk through the street market.

"Uncle Master, it's so strange. The masks and lanterns here are both in the shape of fish."

Ding Sese and the others were impatient to squeeze in the crowd, so they rented one after seeing the flower boats operating in the river around the market. It was quite novel to watch the people on the street in the river.

"It should be the patron saint of the Black Sea. I heard that the patron saint of the Black Sea is fish."

"This guest officer is right. We in the Black Sea live by the sea. Legend has it that there is a fish god in the sea who protects our people in the Black Sea and allows the fishermen to return home smoothly."

Chu Keer looked curiously at the boatman who answered the call: "Is there really a fish god? Has anyone seen it?"

The boatman was holding the boat, also wearing a mask on his face, and a fish-shaped lantern hung on the bow.

"Of course there is, my dad has seen it before."

Mentioning this, the boatman looked proud and proud, "My father was once a fisherman, and he fished in the Black Sea. By the way, these guests must be here for the first time, right? Then you should try the fish from our Black Sea.

, it tastes so delicious, I think we immortals from the Black Sea often eat it."

Chu Ke'er and Chu Shan didn't want to eat any fish, so they agreed perfunctorily and then pestered the boatman about the fish god.

The boatman smiled and said: "When my father went to sea when he was young, he encountered a storm. Some of the guests may not know that people floating on the sea are afraid of encountering such wind and rain.

Everyone who comes back is considered lucky.

My boat was not big at that time. On such a stormy day, the wind and waves on the sea could capsize my boat with just a swing. It did indeed capsize later.

At that time, my dad was thinking that it was over, and maybe he would end up in the Black Sea this time. My dad was drowning in the sea, and suddenly he felt the surroundings light up, and more importantly, he could breathe in the sea!

He vaguely saw the shadow of the fish god, taking his body out of the water in an instant.

When my dad woke up again, it was already dawn, and the boat that had been capsized by the waves was brought back by the Fish God. My dad was lying on the boat well, and his clothes were wet and there were no injuries at all."

"Um, could it be that your father had a nightmare? In fact, there was no storm or anything like that?"

The boatman shook his head: "No way, the clothes are all wet, and the things in the boat are soaked by the sea water, and they are all dripping with water."

Chu Keer: "Then what do you see about the fish god?"

"It's... glowing, with eyes as big as two lanterns, a body like a hill, and two rows of fangs in its mouth..."

"Pfft... I think folk monster records are compiled this way. Brother, I'm afraid this isn't what you saw in the book, is it?"

The boatman was not upset if he was not believed.

He still had a smile on his face: "Hey, how can that be? It's all true. Haha, but my father didn't go to sea that time when he came back. He said that his life had been used up. If something happened again, the Fish God would

I won't save him a second time.

He was floating in the outer city and on the Black Sea, holding the same boat he had before, carrying people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait across the sea. But today is the festival, and my father will not go out to do this kind of work. He is working as a gentleman in a restaurant in the city today.

He’s talking about his experience of meeting the Fish God. I’m not good at telling you. If some of my guests have time later, you can go and take a look. I’m sure you won’t say it’s false after listening to what my dad said.”

Ding Sese smiled: "Then we'll go and see later, but is today's lantern festival also because of the Fish God?"

"Isn't that right? Today is the day to feed the sea, and it's only once a year that we worship the fish god."
