Chapter 4 Release the golden carp, the fox fairy wants to see me?
"Wait a minute, I'm going to cook this golden carp to replenish my health!"
The old fisherman pointed to the golden carp in his hand, with a proud and showy look on his face.
After hearing the old fisherman's words, Lin Nian also lowered his head and looked down.
Different from ordinary carp, the carp brought by the old fisherman was a golden carp.
The golden fish scales look even more beautiful under the sunlight.
only.
Under this beauty, there were a few tears slowly falling from the golden carp's eyes.
"Uncle, everything has a spirit."
"Otherwise, let's release this golden carp."
Seeing the pitiful appearance of this golden carp, Lin Nian's occupational disease broke out and he instinctively said.
Unexpectedly, after the old fisherman heard this, he quickly hid the golden carp behind his back.
"Young man, how can that be done? Old man, I worked hard to catch such a big fish."
"How can you just say "free the animals"?
Facing the old fisherman's rejection, Lin Nian had already guessed it.
"Why don't you, old man, sell me this fish?"
With that said, Lin Nian took out more than a hundred coins from his arms and handed it to the old fisherman.
Without waiting for the old fisherman to agree to sell the fish, Lin Nian walked directly behind the old fisherman and reached out to get the golden carp.
The old fisherman hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the golden carp to Lin Nian.
Lin Nian took the golden carp, pointed at the golden scales, and persuaded:
"Uncle, look at this carp. It's all golden. It's rare since ancient times."
"Not to mention, now that gold is respected in the world, it can be called auspicious that this carp can grow like this.
Moreover, everything has spirituality, this carp must have understood your words just now and is already crying."
"Do you still have the heart to cook it?"
After Lin Nian finished speaking, he looked at the old fisherman calmly.
After the old fisherman heard Lin Nian's words, Yin Xian also began to hesitate.
After thinking for a while, he could only say helplessly:
"Okay, okay, whatever you say, since you gave me the money, the fish is yours."
After saying that, the old fisherman turned around and left with his hands behind his back. He was afraid that Lin Nian would regret it and ask for the money back.
Looking at the golden carp in his hand and seeing that it was still crying, Lin Nian comforted him in a low voice:
"Don't worry, it's okay!"
"As long as I'm here, no one will eat you, so I'll release them for you."
As if he understood Lin Nian's words, the golden carp that had been crying no longer cried anymore.
Seeing the golden carp being so obedient, Lin Nian was in a good mood.
First he went to find a copper basin, filled it with water, put the golden carp in, and then told Xiao Qi:
"Xiaobao, let's go to Guo Beihe!"
"Okay! Master!"
When Xiaobao heard that he was going out, he immediately became excited.
Lin Nian calmed down and said, "Little fox, you are here to recuperate. By the way, help me take care of my luggage. I will come back when I release the little fish."
soon.
Lin Nian took Xiaobao to West Street near Guobei River.
The street is busy with cars and people coming and going, it's so bustling.
Along the way, the men, women, and children they met all greeted Lin Nian kindly.
And Lin Nian nodded in return.
These are all the good relationships he has made over the years.
Being kind to others not only accumulates merit, but also good karma.
This is something that no amount of money can buy.
Thinking of this, Lin Nian smiled and said to Xiaobao:
"Xiaobao, look at how enthusiastic the folks are!"
only.
There was no response for a long time.
When he looked back, Lin Nian's face was instantly covered with a layer of black lines.
I don’t know when this child started running to buy food again.
but.
Lin Nian didn't, so he forcefully called Xiaobao over.
The children are still young, and it is understandable if they are more playful and greedy.
Lin Nian carried the fish alone and walked to the Guobei River. He carefully took the golden carp out from under the hook and put it into the river.
"Go ahead, you're free!"
"Be careful next time and don't catch them again!"
Lin Nian looked at the golden carp that had already entered the water but still refused to sink and said with a smile.
After hearing Lin Nian's words, the golden carp finally swam away reluctantly.
On both sides, some people watching could not help but praise:
"The young master has such a kind heart!"
"Isn't that right? The young master has never treated us badly over the years!"
"The rent paid by our tenant farmers in Guobei County was the lowest in the entire Song Dynasty!"
"Moreover, the young master will often ask us to work in their workshop!"
"The only pity is that such a good young master is not married yet!"
"Yes! I really don't know which girl a good man like the young master would take advantage of!"
"...."
Amidst the praise and ridicule from the villagers and elders, Lin Nian took Xiaobao and started to walk home.
He has long been used to this kind of scene.
after all.
People in this era are still very simple.
If you are kind to others, they will naturally do the same.
Soon, we returned to the dilapidated temple.
only.
Lin Nian looked at the toffee wrappers scattered on the ground and was dumbfounded.
He is friendly with the fox, but the fox is not friendly with him!
It turned out that the little fox he had just rescued disappeared after wrapping up a large amount of toffee!
"what is this?"
"Afraid of crime and absconding?"
Lin Nian smiled helplessly.
Are you that terrible?
However, since the little guy ran away, Chen Mu naturally wouldn't be really angry.
It's just that I'm a little worried that the little guy's injury hasn't healed yet.
After returning home, it was already dusk.
Lin Nian's home lives not far outside Guobei City.
I have been visiting immortals for several months and haven't returned home for a long time. The courtyard is deserted, overgrown with weeds and in disarray.
The leaves of the green plants planted by Lin Nian were scorched and wilted, and were no longer green.
After simply tidying up the house, Lin Nian quickly fell asleep.
Next.
After a few days of silence, Lin Nian continued to enjoy his normal life of reading poetry and books.
Until five days later, Xiaobao suddenly sent him an invitation.
The content of the invitation is even more strange.
【Master Lin personally opens the book.】
[Ning Xian'er, the slave family, we said goodbye outside Guo Beicheng in the past. We haven't seen each other for a long time.
I still remember that I once had a favor with the young master, but we were entangled in the world and could not meet each other.
Today, I have specially invited the young master to go to Xuling Cave for a while tonight, so that the Chanu family’s longing for him can be relieved!]
After reading the contents of the invitation, Lin Nian looked a little strange.
