There are so many troubles lately, such as destroying childhood for children in Fantasy Village, finding ways to perform at festivals for Akita, writing opening words for a certain teacher of Seriousness, and practicing swordsmanship. I don’t know when it started, Mizuki’s life in Fantasy Village became more and more fulfilling. It’s really incredible to think about it. He was so panicked when he first came to this place. Who knows that he can live leisurely in this place now?

Because there was still some time before the date of the festival, Mizuki took a break from her busy schedule and asked Miura and the others for a day off, so she came to the riverside alone to fish. The last time she was fishing was destroyed by the girl named Mizuyu Marisa, so I have to have some leisure time today.

But today, there seems to be a person with his fellow friends. Fortunately, it is not a girl like Wuyu Malisha, but an old man. The old man wears a hat and a coarse linen, and has patched a lot of patches. Speaking of which, the living conditions in Fantasy Village are not good, but because there are not many people and abundant resources, no one is wearing patched clothes. The old man leans obliquely against a big rock by the river, his eyes are half-closed, and the worn fishing rod is stretched out like this, and the wind blows, and I don’t know whether this person is fishing or sleeping.

It's such a strange man. Although I feel that this old man feels close, Mizuki doesn't want to chat with him. He is just lazy here and there is no need to meddle in other people's business.

Prepare the fishing tools, take out an earthworm from the small bucket at your feet and put it on the hook, sprinkle a handful of rice into the lake, and then throw the fishing rod out vigorously. After doing this, the water tree opened the folding stool brought out from home, sat up safely, and quietly waited for the fish to take the bait.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

As expected, it is very difficult to catch. Half an hour passed, and there was no movement at all in the fish hook. It seems that people in the village say that it is difficult to catch fish in the river near the world, which is not fake. But Water Tree is not a person who is easily shaken or eager to achieve success. Otherwise, he would not insist on practicing swordsmanship with the muscle brother every day, nor would he have the patience to draw Pleasant Goat. I just said wrongly, if it weren't for financial benefits, who would have been able to draw Pleasant Goat? He hummed the popular song he liked when he was outside. Water Tree was very comfortable, so if he couldn't catch it, we should take it slowly. Anyway, I have a day off and don't have to worry about it. Speaking of which, the title song of Zhou Olun's new album "Red X Inn" is really good, but unfortunately, before I could release it, we said goodbye to the outside.

"Young man, what's your name?"

"Shui Shu." The water Shu blurted out his original name in Chinese, and after a while, he realized that the person was also using Chinese, "Ah, who are you?"

"Water trees, birds fly in the moss courtyard, and water and wood shine together. It's a good name." The old man nodded, without answering, but asked, "The water here is so shallow, why are you fishing here?"

Seeing that the man didn't answer and asked again, Mizuki was not angry, but he just secretly complained that you were fishing here again, but he still answered: "Old sir, I'm just an ordinary person. I can't go to places where I can catch fish."

"But it's almost impossible for fish to bite the hook here, so why waste time?"

"I didn't come to catch fish, I just wanted to pass the time." Mizuki replied with a slight mouth, "We are not fishing, but loneliness."

"Haha, loneliness, my friend knows what loneliness is at a young age?" The old man seemed amused by the person in front of him, "I also want to know how to catch this loneliness."

Scratching his head with some embarrassment, Mizuki continued, "Actually, it was just nonsense just now. I just felt that when it was okay, it was good to be alone, relax and do whatever I wanted."

"I guess I came here from the outside world. Don't you want to go out? After all, this is the territory of monsters. Wouldn't you be a normal person with no power to tie a chicken?" The old man looked at Mizuki with thought.

After hearing this, the person in front of him might have the ability to send him out, but Mizuki thought carefully and replied after a long time: "I used to think about it, but I always have to recognize the facts. Some things can be done, some things cannot be done, so I have to make clear the points. Moreover, I have not often seen any monsters messing around. When I first came, I always thought it would be great if I could go out one day, but now I have been here for so long, and I have no idea that I have that. If I have new friends here, I may have new family members in the future. If I leave here, I will lose them. So what is the difference between coming here and coming to this place for some reason? It doesn't matter whether I can go out now. I just hope that my relatives and friends outside will be well. As for myself, since I come here, I will be at peace."

The old man nodded and did not look at it in detail: "Didn't you think about learning something to protect yourself? This is a place for monsters after all, although it is very safe in these villages."

"Well, I've been thinking of a way to do this. People can't just live and wait for death." Could it be that this person wants to teach himself something? Mizuki tried to say: "But I can't learn Yin-Yang Technique, Magic, etc., and I can only learn swordsmanship with others. Speaking of this, I can only do these things within my ability every day. Being ambitious and other people are not suitable for people with my personality."

The old man didn't say anything, but left the stone on his back, pulled the fishing rod out of the water surface and walked to the water tree. He reached out to his shoulder and patted him and said, "Each meeting is also a fate. If you are free, remember to treat me to a bite next time you catch a fish."

After saying that, he ignored Shui Shu and left with a sway. Shui Shu just stared at the man and walked away slowly. Well, that man's fish hook was straight. What a weird person, he learned from Jiang Ziya? But why didn't he have any of the adventures he had made? Could it be that the routine of encountering a hermit master who could pass on his despicable skills is no longer popular? It's such a scam!

PS1: Speaking of which, it may be that the water tree master may match the water tree profession. I only thought of Taigong Wang, who is like a person in Fantasy Village. If you think there is some thunder, don’t blame me, but in my opinion, this is the most reasonable situation. Only Jiang Ziya will help an outsider when he recites some old feelings. Taigong Wang is just a soy sauce in this chapter, and it will never appear again, so don’t worry about the water tree suddenly achieving great success in magical skills, the magical artifacts are everywhere, and counterattacking the girl or something. It is said that ordinary people are in Fantasy Village, so naturally they will not give Water Tree the perverted ability. Setting this person is just to open the door that Water Tree can have very abilities in combat. Everything has to be explored by himself, and he himself will not know that he has such a possibility in the first volume. This chapter is very painful, Taigong Wang is really difficult to write, and I didn’t think about writing him too much.

PS2: The difference between ancient Chinese and modern people, don’t be timid.
Chapter completed!
