Finest Servant

After patrolling the water of Weishan Lake, there was nothing to gain except once again witnessing the blue sky and the vastness of the water.

The sky became brighter and brighter, the fog gradually dissipated, and a thin red sun exposed half of the head on the water surface, dyeing the water surface a dazzling golden layer, making people feel unusually warm.

Luo Ning snuggled up beside Lin Wanrong, the golden morning sun shone on her face, and a golden blush appeared on her face, which complemented her snow-white skin, which was truly beautiful. Ning'er's eyes were full of happiness, she put her arms around Lin Wanrong's arm and said softly, "Brother, if I can watch the red sun rise with you every day, Ning'er will never ask for anything else in her life."

Women are all emotional creatures, just now I was still worried about what to do if I couldn't find the money, but in the blink of an eye, I was so longing for a better future, Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said to Luo Yuan who was on the side: "Xiao Luo, instruct the brothers on the boat, first The boat stops, and after breakfast, we will continue to investigate."

Luo Yuan nodded yes and passed on the news. The people on the water have all the necessities of life in a small boat, and after a while, they will see the smoke from the cooking of the boats around them, and the fragrance of fish and rice wafts over.

The old boatman was busy for a while, and handed a bowl of fish soup to Lin Wanrong: "This official, try our fresh fish soup on Weishan Lake. This is what the old man went to the lake to fight last night, and fished in the lake in early spring. Fish is not easy, I originally wanted to give it to Lord Luo to taste, but this happened."

Lin Wanrong hurriedly took it with both hands, smiled gratefully, and sent it to Luo Ning first: "The fish in this spring all slipped through the net when they went to winter fishing. After a cold winter, they ate enough water plants, and all of them were raised. If you are fat and strong, it’s the best time to replenish the ground. Ning’er. You are weak, first drink a sip of soup to warm you up, and you lost blood again last night, so you should make up for it.”

When Luo Ning heard the first sentence, she was very moved, but the latter sentence changed its taste and was not serious. She glanced at the elder brother angrily, secretly twisted it around his waist, and took the soup bowl. He opened his mouth slightly and took a small sip.

As soon as the soup enters the mouth, there is a strong fragrance in the mouth. The fragrance was overflowing, and Luo Ning's appetite was widened. He couldn't help taking another sip and praised: "It's delicious. I haven't had such a good fish soup in Jining for a few months."

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "That's because you rarely come to Weishan Lake. So it is difficult to enjoy the beautiful scenery and taste the delicious food. The lakes and mountains are beautiful here, and the scenery is pleasant. It is a real land of fish and rice."

Speaking of this, he remembered that when he attacked Jining that day, he was injured in the ten thousand cannons to save Sister An and Xian'er, and was rescued by them desperately. A warm, nostalgic feeling slowly came to my mind. How many times can you have such a happy life? If it wasn't for Sister An's cheating, how could there be such an experience? He sighed lightly. Xian'er is in the capital, but where is that cunning and charming vixen now? Will she also recall these days? motherfucker,

I want to kill this fox.

"Big brother, big brother, look, it's Sister Zhiqing." Luo Ning suddenly grabbed his sleeve and shouted excitedly.

Xu Zhiqing? Lin Wanrong, who was contemplating, was taken aback and hurriedly looked up. The fog on the water surface has all dissipated, and the situation on the lake is very clear. A small boat swayed from the depths of the lake in the distance, and a woman in a green shirt stood on the bow of the boat, her expression was indifferent, and she did not speak or smile. A few drops of dew condensed on the edge of her bun, and in the morning light, it flashed with colorful colors, which made her cheeks more beautiful and beautiful.

"Sister Zhiqing, sister Zhiqing." Across the distance, Luo Ning waved her arms at the bow and greeted excitedly. Seeing Luo Ning, Xu Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, and then she nodded, and the boat slowly came over.

"Oh, that, I suddenly remembered. It seems that the reeds that I passed by just now haven't been checked carefully. Xiao Luo, prepare me the fastest boat. I have something to go first."

The situation in front of him was wrong, and Master Lin immediately wanted to slap his butt and leave. There was a ghost in his heart, and what happened last night was only known by Heaven and Earth, Lin Zhi and Xu Zhi. But Xu Zhiqing is not a foolish girl. She has a serial crossbow on her body, and she shot Lao Tzu four arrows last night. Who knows if she will get angry when we meet later? In case she rips off her face and breaks the net with me, it will be bad. Life and death are a small matter, but dishonesty is a big matter. As long as she cheats and makes peace, Master Lin and my reputation for being clean will be ruined.

Luo Ning pulled his sleeves and smiled reluctantly: "Big brother likes to talk nonsense the most, we just walked all the way, how can there be any reeds? Sister Zhiqing is for our family's affairs, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and it is convenient for four days. On the Weishan Lake, we must thank you very much."

"Really? That's hard enough!" Master Lin said with a haha. He wanted to go first, but Luo Ning held him tightly. Seeing Xu Zhiqing's boat getting closer and closer, he couldn't stop complaining. .

"Sister is right. Sister Xu has traveled thousands of miles for our family. It's a lot of hard work. We should be thankful. Brother, we don't have time anyway. You happen to meet Sister Xu to see if she has any. What's the discovery? Maybe the two of you will figure it out once you've got it together." Luo Yuanshen nodded in agreement and analyzed it in a serious manner.

You kid, you want to harm your big brother and me. I and you, Sister Xu, are incompatible with each other, and we have a fart together. Lord Lin glared at Xiao Luo, wishing to kick this bad boy into the water.

While they were talking, the boat carrying Xu Zhiqing had slowly come over. Luo Yuan and the sect took hold of the boat, and Xu Zhiqing took Luo Ning's little hand and jumped onto their boat.

There were clear dewdrops in Xu Zhiqing's hair, her face was red from freezing, her beautiful eyes were slightly red and swollen, and she looked very tired. Luo Ning was surprised: "Sister, what's wrong with you, are you crying?"

"No." Xu Zhiqing said lightly, "The wind on the lake in the morning was so strong that it blew into my eyes, which made it a little red."

Luo Ning grabbed Xu Zhiqing, her eyes were red, and said, "Sister, why did you go to the lake at four watch? The weather is so cold, if there is a freeze on my sister. It will be difficult for my little sister to live in peace for a lifetime."

Xu Zhiqing smiled slightly, raised her hands lightly, wiped the dewdrops on her hair and said, "Ning'er, where are you, between you and my sisters. Are you still using such a courtesy? I can't sleep in the middle of the night, so I want to get to the lake as soon as possible. Look, I didn't expect this Weishan Lake to be so wide, I walked for a few hours, and only walked a few miles. Seeing that it's getting late, I'm worried that you will forget it, so I'll come back."

Hearing Xu Zhiqing say "I can't sleep in the middle of the night", Luo Ning thought the incident was happening, so she couldn't help but feel dizzy and her ears were hot. She lowered her head shyly and said, "It's my little sister's rudeness, last night—"

"Nothing happened last night." Xu Zhiqing said first: "I fell asleep while waiting in your room, and I didn't see anyone."

Why does Sister Xu's words have some hidden meanings? Did she see something or hear something last night? Thinking of this, Luo Ning's body was hot, and her heart was disturbed, and she was so ashamed that she didn't even dare to lift her head up. Both of her have something on their mind. He couldn't confide in the other party, and guessed randomly, as if he was playing a riddle.

"Oh. By the way, Sister Zhiqing, what did you find on the lake? Can you discuss it with the eldest brother? Hey, eldest brother, where is the eldest brother——" Luo Ning was about to pull out the eldest brother to talk to Miss Xu, but couldn't find it anywhere. Seeing the figure, he was puzzled when the boat rocking the boat came from behind the cabin and said, "Miss. Did you ask the official just now? Oh, he stole the little old man's work and was making a fire on the stern to cook. Alas. , I have never seen such an amiable and helpful official, the lady is lucky to follow him!"

When did big brother become so diligent? Luo Ning had nowhere to tell the doubts in his heart, but he saw Luo Yuan pushing Lin Wanrong out, with an apron on his waist, and shouting, "What are you doing, what are you doing, I still have to cook!"

"It's you?!!" Xu Zhiqing spit fire in her eyes, gritted her teeth angrily.

"Standing too close, I can't see clearly!" Lin Wanrong stepped back a few steps, far away from Miss Xu, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Ah, isn't this Miss Xu, oh, why are you here? Long time no see, how are you?" There was a sincerity in his words, as if the two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, Luo Yuanzhi sighed with emotion, the elder brother is always so enthusiastic and energetic when dealing with people.

"I'm doing fine, but I wonder if Master Xu, did you have a good time last night?" Xu Zhiqing smiled coldly, the cold light in her eyes seemed to be able to kill people.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Luo Ning next to him flushed with a small face, and glanced at the elder brother secretly, with a faint amorous feelings between his brows.

Nonsense, I am accompanied by beauties with fragrant lamps, the warmth of spring in the lotus tent, the full sun and moon in the pillow of mandarin ducks, I don’t know how happy I am. Seeing Miss Xu's frown, he laughed dryly: "Miss Meng misses me, I'm doing pretty well, just a little bit better than Miss."

"Shameless, shameless!" Xu Zhiqing gritted her teeth and hated, and a light mist appeared in her eyes.

Although her voice was soft, Luo Ning didn't fall for a word. Seeing that Big Brother and Sister Xu seemed to be deeply separated, she felt anxious and hurriedly grabbed Xu Zhiqing's hand and said, "Sister Xu, do you have any misunderstanding about Big Brother? Big brother is a good person, hard-working, kind, simple and humble, taciturn, caring for the weak, you should be able to feel it when you walk with him all the way!"

Luo Yuan couldn't close his mouth for a long time. It turns out that the eldest brother has such a lofty position in the heart of the sister, and the lover's eyes are not wrong at all. Why do I understand the eldest brother completely opposite to the sister? Lord Lin felt very comfortable when he heard it. My good Ning'er has insight. Others see me only on the surface. Only you can see the deepest things in my heart!

Xu Zhiqing couldn't help laughing and crying. According to Ning'er, this Lin San was the most honest person in the world. If Lin San was honest, the pigs would laugh.

"Yeah, I deeply understand these advantages of him." Miss Xu sneered at the corner of her mouth, glanced at Lin San, but saw a smile in his eyes, his eyes were secretly falling on her chest, and she didn't know where she was. play something. Ms. Xu's mind suddenly surged with blood, and she felt like she was about to faint. She couldn't tell Ning'er about such a shameful thing. Behind him: "Ning'er, let's go!"

"Go? Where are you going?" Luo Ning gave her a puzzled look, then hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Good sister, eldest brother is really not a bad person, don't be angry with him. Sister, are you here on the lake? What's the discovery? It's better to negotiate with Big Brother."

"Yes, yes, let's negotiate." Master Lin said with a straight face without looking sideways. Seeing Miss Xu is very scruples. He is also not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Anyway, it is like this, can he still return the things he touches?

"I have nothing to say to you." Miss Xu said hotly, thinking of the grievances she suffered last night, and of this man's lustful eyes, her heart was full of grief, tears were spinning in her eyes, and they were about to fall.

She had never seen the good-natured sister Zhiqing be provoked like this. Luo Ning hurriedly hugged Xu Zhiqing and gave Lin Wanrong a wink. Master Lin smiled wryly and shook his head: "Okay. Miss Xu, even if I'm wrong, I'll accompany you. Be sure to pay attention next time!"

"Do you dare to have a next time?" Xu Zhiqing's teeth were itching with hatred, she raised her head and said with an angry brow.

Seriously, are you guilty of big boobs? A woman's figure is good, isn't it just for men to see? Like Lin Sange, a man like me who dares to be an upright thief. The world is extinct. You have come across the best, but still not satisfied? Lord Lin smiled lazily, unless we stopped seeing each other. Otherwise, I still have to see it.

The two made a fuss and stared at the Luo brothers and sisters, how did the eldest brother and sister Xu act like enemies of life and death, how will they live in the future?

"General Lin, General Lin—" Just as the situation was deadlocked, there was a burst of excited shouts on the lake, and a small boat shot towards it like an arrow from behind.

"General Hu!" Xu Zhiqing's eyesight was very good, and she saw the person on the boat at a glance. It was Hu Bugui who was ordered to search yesterday.

"Big Brother Hu——" When the boat stopped, Hu Bugui stepped onto the boat with a stride. Seeing his excited expression, Lin Wanrong hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Did you find something?"

Hu Bugui's face was full of dust, his eyes were bloodshot, but his expression was highly excited, and he said loudly: "The general has a clever plan, and the last general followed your instructions last night to search everywhere along the two sides of Weishan Lake, and it really paid off."

Hearing his words, everyone on the boat immediately became excited. Even Miss Xu, who was arguing with Lord Lin, turned her head to listen to him, but saw Lin San smiling at her, she hurriedly snorted and turned her head again. went back.

"The last commander took 2,000 brothers yesterday to visit both sides of the strait. They traveled more than 100 miles in one night, and visited the fishermen and people on both sides. Finally, they found a very useful piece of information. In the evening the day before yesterday, some eldest brothers went out to fish in the lake. Since it was early spring, there were very few fish, so they rowed their boats farther away, and when they returned, they were expelled by several boats." Hu Bugui said loudly, his joy beyond words.

"Expulsion?" Lin Wanrong frowned: "Have they seen the appearance of these people?"

Hu Bugui shook his head: "It was too late when they returned, and they couldn't see the appearance of those people. But according to what they said, those boats had a lot of draft, and the fishermen on the boats were strong and powerful, and they didn't look like ordinary fishing boats. After driving them all the way, they turned back. A fisherman couldn't stand his curiosity, so he secretly followed behind them. "

"Fleet?" Lin Wanrong said in surprise: "How big is the ship? How many ships?"

"Because it was too far away and he was worried about being discovered, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He couldn't describe the size of the boat, but there were about forty or fifty boats. The cabins were covered with canvas and looked gray. "

"Forty or fifty boats?" Lin Wanrong clapped his hands excitedly, and turned to the boating boatman and said, "Uncle, what is the biggest boat you've ever seen running on Weishan Lake?"

The old man Zhouzi said: "Little old man has been fishing all his life on Weishan Lake, and the biggest boat he has ever seen is the navy sent by the imperial court in the early winter of last year, when the White Lotus Sect was exterminated. It can hold hundreds of people, and there are artillery pieces on board, which are powerful. However, these are all sea-going ships, and when they reach the shallow waters of our Weishan Lake, they cannot drive, and most of them are just decorations.”

Lin Wanrong nodded. When the White Lotus was annihilated, Xu Wei mobilized the navy's big ship to block Weishan Lake, just to prevent the White Lotus Sect from escaping from the water, not to annihilate the enemy, so it doesn't matter if you can get shallow water or not.

Xu Zhiqing pondered for a while, and then said, "The thieves stole the silver, and they are eager to move, so they will not dare to use the navy ships. First, the iron armored ships are too big and easy to expose. Once they run aground in shallow water, they will have nothing to do; second Otherwise, all Dahua navy crews will be under effective supervision. They simply can't get such a subway ship."

Xu Zhiqing was Xu Wei's daughter-in-law, and she was Li Tai's daughter-in-law, and she was a female strategist whom Li Tai valued very much. Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Insightful, straight to the point, admire and admire!"

Xu Zhiqing snorted softly and turned her head: "I want you to be a shameless person to compliment you, uncle, go on."

The boatman nodded and said, "Other boats. They are similar to each other, and the difference is not much. We know the deep and shallow waters of Weishan Lake. The average wooden boat can carry a weight of 800 jin. It's good."

"That's right!" Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "350,000 taels of silver, if each boat is 800 catties, it will cost more than 30 or 40 wooden boats. Isn't it the fleet that night?"

In this way, the fleet that appeared by chance that night must have been smuggling silver. Everyone got excited. But even if it was confirmed that it was really the fleet that transported the silver, it only confirmed Lin Wanrong's conjecture that the silver was indeed in this Weishan Lake. But exactly where it is hidden is still unknown.

Sister Luo Ning was happy for a while, and then they thought of the key, the excitement faded away, Ning'er glanced at Lin Wanrong, and said softly: "Even so, this Weishan Lake is hundreds of miles around. Where are we going? Going to find silver?"

Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled: "Don't panic, there is a big brother here. Ning'er, think about it again, when did the old man find out that Yin Zi was missing, and when did he start to block the lake?"

"Daddy found out that Yinzi was missing at the second watch, and immediately issued a blockade order. When the horse arrived at various places along the coast, it was about after the third watch." Luo Ning thought for a while, nodded and said.

"This means that the silver has not landed for sure. Even if they put the silver on the boat at the first watch, it will only take three hours by the third watch. A wooden boat, bearing eight hundred catties, How far can I go in three hours?" Lin Wanrong was triumphant, and if he was stained with a few strands of mustache, he looked even more immortal: "Oh, there is another important question, Brother Hu, have you inquired about the matter? What was the wind direction on Weishan Lake on that day and night?"

"I'm in a hurry to report at the end, I forgot to ask about this." Hu Bugui said embarrassedly. He got the order from last night, and he traveled hundreds of miles at night to search and inquire, and he didn't even drink saliva.

"It was a southeast wind blowing the night before." Xu Zhiqing said lightly, her words quite affirmative.

"How do you know?" Lord Lin gave her a surprised look.

"When I just left the lake, I already inquired about it." Xu Zhiqing didn't even look at him, she obviously hated him deeply, and hummed, "I knew that the silver was in the lake, but I didn't even ask about the direction of the wind. I don't know what nasty things are going on in your head all day."

This chick refers to Sang and scolds Huai, but she is indeed smart and considers everything carefully. From your perspective, I don't care about you anymore. Lord Lin reluctantly retracted his gaze from her chest, comforting himself in his heart.

"This lady is right. It was indeed the southeast wind direction the day before yesterday and night." Said the old man.

"Wow, Miss Xu guessed it right again." Master Lin giggled, his face full of pretended admiration: "Hey, after all, aren't those thieves driving against the wind? It seems that God is here to help. Us. Uncle, in three hours, how far do you think these wooden boats can go?"

"Loaded with 800 catties of silver, there is not much room on the wooden boat. At most four people rowing together. They are driving against the wind. Even if they change their hands intermittently, they can't travel several miles in an hour. Not to mention. The fleet is still going in groups, the speed is slower, I estimate that it should be about sixteen or seven miles in an hour." The old boatman said decisively.

Sixteen or seven miles in an hour? Isn't that 50 miles in three hours? Lin Wanrong took out a pen and paper, made some gestures, and was about to issue an order when Xu Zhiqing said, "Don't bother to calculate the distance of the boat, but also consider whether the silver will be pushed by the water when it sinks underwater? It was scraped last night. Northwest wind."

"Miss Xu, you are so knowledgeable, you even know fluid mechanics." Lin Wanrong sighed, Xu Zhiqing ignored him without even looking at him.

"Whether it's the southeasterly wind or the northwesterly wind, I will count the power of the current. Even if the lake water pushes my money for another ten miles. Sixty miles, within sixty miles, this is our search direction. ." He drew an origin on the paper and radiated a few lines around it. Silver is within this radius.

Seeing his triumphant appearance, Xu Zhiqing snorted disdainfully, took Luo Ning's little hand and said, "Ning'er, do me a favor."

Luo Ning nodded, and then heard Miss Xu continue: "You go and ask that shameless person, how does he know that the 350,000 taels of silver have not been scattered by the thief?"

Luo Ning glanced at the elder brother in embarrassment. If she asked, she would admit that the elder brother was shameless. If she didn't ask, it was very important. Lin Wanrong hit a haha. He said confidently: "More than 300,000 taels of silver will definitely not be scattered, even if it is divided into two piles. It is unlikely. First, they don't have so much time, and forty ships can coordinate with each other. It's not an ordinary trouble. Second, the silver is scattered and sinks into the water, and it is very likely to be smashed by the current. They will not be so stupid. More than 300,000 taels of silver, sinking into the water is a hill, no So easy to move. They must have fixed all the silver together, so they dare to sink into the water with confidence.”

Miss Xu snorted and didn't speak again, thinking that she had no opinion.

Originally a question that had no clue, it was actually concretized by Master Lin and Miss Xu in a few words. They also calculated the radius according to the principle of arithmetic. Everyone admired it, especially Miss Xu and Master Lin. Complement each other and cooperate quite tacitly. Luo Yuan shook his head and sighed: "This sounds like a simple matter. As soon as Big Brother and Sister Xu talked about it, I understood. Why can't I figure it out myself?"

"This, it's called knowing the hard way and doing it easily, and being smart after the fact. If you have half the brains of the elder brother and sister Xu, Daddy won't worry about you." Luo Ning laughed and teased her younger brother, and snuggled up affectionately. Beside Lin Wanrong, with a happy expression on his face, he said softly, "Brother, Ning'er is proud of you."

"Don't say that, this is actually everyone's credit, and I only did a small part." Lord Lin said humbly.

Xu Zhiqing smiled coldly: "Let's not brag about cowhide. Now it's only calculated that the silver will probably be within this range. How to find it, there is still no way."

This is true. Even if the search range is narrowed from a few hundred miles to sixty miles, it is still a large area. It is not easy to search for silver in the water of sixty miles.

"Can you find some underwater experts and search one by one?" Luo Ning tentatively proposed a plan.

"This method is not advisable." Seeing that Master Lin was thinking, and only answered by herself, Xu Zhiqing shook her head: "The water area of ​​60 miles is not big or small, even if you send a good swimmer every day. It is rare to be able to search ten miles, and the emperor only gave us seven days in total. After yesterday, there are only six days left, and the time must be too late. Moreover, there is a serious problem. The 350,000 taels of silver It must have sunk to the bottom of the water. Weishan Lake is extremely deep. In the water, the more you go down, the greater the pressure. People can't stand it at all.

Luo Ning nodded as if she didn't understand. When it comes to poetry, she may be able to fight, but when it comes to the principle of everything, how can she compete with the knowledgeable and talented Sister Xu?

Lin Wanrong nodded. In addition to her big breasts, this Miss Xu is not small. She even knows these principles. He pondered for a while, then said openly to the stern: "Uncle, how deep is the water surface where we are staying?"

The old man slowly put down the bamboo pole in his hand, and the long bamboo pole disappeared, but before it came to the end, the old man smiled and pulled up the bamboo pole and said, "We have only traveled for four or five miles. From the experience of the little old man, this place is still shallow, and only five or six bamboo poles are shallow."

Luo Yuan sucked in a breath of cold air. There are three people in this pole, and five or six poles deep. Is this called shallow water? It really makes no sense!

"Otherwise, I'll report to General Li Tai and send another 50,000 brothers from the camp. We will build an embankment around the lake at a distance of 60 miles, and work day and night to level the lake! Don't worry, General, I am old Hu. Guarantee, within five days, it will be completed!" Hu Bugui patted his chest with confidence, and the suggestion made the old man startled.

Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Hu, don't scare me. Tens of thousands of troops and horses are mobilized, eating, drinking and lhasa. Filling lakes and fields is not a small project. The 350,000 taels of silver may not be enough for you to do this. Let’s talk about it again. This Weishan Lake is a land of fish and rice, and its reputation is far and wide. If we really fill it up, how will we explain it to future generations? Things can be done without heart, but things without morality must not be done!”

Hu Bugui smiled embarrassedly: "Just talk about it, just talk about it, this old man, don't mind."

The old man sighed and said: "This official, I can't say this kind of words again. The little old man is terrified. We people, who have lived on Weishan Lake for generations, all make a living by fishing. Fish, fishing in autumn, Weishan Lake is our lifeblood, if the lake is filled, what will we eat?"

"Uncle. What did you just say?" A light flashed in Lin Wanrong's mind, and he hurriedly grabbed the old man's hand and asked.

"This official, the little old man said, 'Weishan Lake is our lifeblood. If the lake is filled, what will we eat?" The old man repeated.

"No, it's the previous sentence." Master Lin said excitedly.

The old man looked at the official with a puzzled look, didn't he just say a word, as for what made him so excited: "Little old man said 'fishing in spring, fishing in autumn', a high-ranking official, it is this sentence?"

"That's the sentence, that's the sentence." Lin Wanrong was full of excitement. He murmured in his mouth, "Put fish in spring, catch fish in autumn, put fish, catch fish, uncle, what kind of net do you use for fishing?"

"We fish, we use a variety of nets. There are cast nets, which one person can hold, and those that shake off like a flower. These are used to catch small fish. There are also long sticks. The net, which can be hundreds of feet long, is laid in the water at night, and when the net is opened the next day, many large fish will stick to the mesh. There is also a longer net called fishing net. We gathered together with fishermen from the coastal areas and discussed how to catch the remaining fish in the lake. Pick an auspicious day, everyone will spread out the fishing net, divide the area into different areas, and several hundred people will pull together from both ends to catch the fish in the lake. This is the last one we make every year, so it is also called catching a net."

When it comes to fishing, the old scorpion immediately came in an endless stream, and Xu Zhiqing listened with great interest to those who cast, dip, and catch nets, not to mention Luo Ning and Luo Yuan. They were all born in wealthy families, and naturally didn't know about these things, but Lin Wanrong grew up on the banks of the Yangtze River. Those who were familiar with these things couldn't be more familiar with them. Listening to the old man's nagging, he couldn't tell the kindness in his heart.

"Very good, very good, fishing net, fishing net." Lin Wanrong exclaimed excitedly: "Uncle, how big are the holes in this fishing net?"

"Eyes, both thick and thin, fishermen don't have them anywhere else. This net is just as indispensable. You have as small a hole as you want."

After listening to it for a long time, Xu Zhiqing couldn't bear it any longer, and hummed, "Do you want to borrow this fishing net to make money?"

"Hey, are you willing to talk to a shameless person this time?" Lin Wanrong didn't answer her words, he laughed.

Xu Zhiqing ignored him and said with a sneer: "If you want to use a fishing net to make money, you are making a big mistake. Even if you have a long fishing net, it will not work. The fishing net is covered with tin blocks, and it is in shallow water. It can sink to the bottom, and in deep water, it is not bad to be able to reach 30% of the water surface.”

"You can rest assured, my Miss Xu, when it comes to fishing, when I was soaking in the water, you hadn't started to read." Master Lin laughed and gave her back what she said on the road. she.

"Then what are you going to do with the fishing net?" Xu Zhiqing didn't hold her tongue this time, she pouted.

"Want to know? Then come here." Master Lin hooked his finger at Miss Xu, and the smile on his face was meaningful.

"You, what are you going to do?" Once bitten by a snake and afraid of the rope for ten years, Miss Xu subconsciously touched her arms.

Lord Lin shrugged his shoulders casually: "It doesn't matter. If you want to know, I won't force it. Uncle, let's continue our topic."

Curious to kill the cat, Miss Xu bit her silver teeth, restrained her fear, walked slowly to him, and said cautiously and vigilantly, "Tell me, I'll listen."

"Be sincere, the closest, the closest, by the way, that's how it should be." Seeing the sweat dripping from Miss Xu Qiong's nose, Mr. Lin couldn't help but be proud of his lethality to the chick. At this level, Lao Tzu admires himself.

"Say it now!" * approached him. Thinking of his "promiscuous behavior" last night, she seemed to feel his fiery gaze on her body again, Xu Zhiqing's heart was beating wildly, and her face was burning with fever. He had to give a coquettish scolding, emboldening himself.

"Want to know?" Lin Wanrong leaned close to her ear and looked at her red-hot, crystal clear ears, and felt quite interesting in her heart: "But I just don't say it!"

"You—" Xu Zhiqing was shocked and angry, and was molested by him again, and in front of Ning'er and many other people, she was annoyed. Seeing his hippie smile, Miss Xu wanted to kick him hard to relieve her anger.

"I think there is nothing you can do to make things mysterious." Xu Zhiqing calmed down the anger in her heart and said calmly.

This little girl can also play the trick. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Is that so? Am I really making a fool of yourself? I don't think so! Otherwise. Well, Miss Xu, let's make a bet!"

"Big brother. What are you betting on?" Luo Yuan became interested as soon as he heard it. He was born a master who feared that the world would not be in chaos. Seeing that the relationship between eldest brother and sister Xu was showing signs of easing, Luo Ning also looked at eldest brother with a smile.

Xu Zhiqing didn't expect that her aggressive tactics would cause her body to burn. If he backed away, wouldn't he be molested by him again?

"What are you betting on?" Seeing the shameless man, his eyes fell on him. She was a little flustered in her heart, but she had an unwillingness to admit defeat, so she mustered up the courage to raise her head. asked proudly.

"If I use this fishing net to find the silver, you will promise me a condition." Mr. Lin's face was lustful, and he looked up and down Miss Xu with a smile. It's cool to look upright and bright, this girl can be described in one word on the whole body, big, really fucking big!

"Shameless thief!" Xu Zhiqing scolded secretly, but she was helpless, her eyes were on him. I have read it thousands of times, can I still dig it out?

She gritted her teeth: "What if you can't find it?"

"If I can't find it, then ask me to make a horse for Miss Xu and let you ride it for the rest of your life." Lord Lin laughed and said nothing seriously.

Luo Yuan took a deep breath when he heard it, let Miss Xu ride for a lifetime? How vicious this oath is, it's really a shame that Big Brother can think of it.

If you can't find any money, I'll whip you hard with a whip and make you a foal for the rest of your life, Miss Xu thought hard, she can't guess the deep meaning of someone Lin's words anyway.

"Okay, then it's settled. When a gentleman says a word, hurry up with a whip!" Miss Xu's silver teeth clenched and she said softly, deliberately reciting the word "horse".

"Sister Xu, eldest brother hasn't said his conditions for you." Luo Ning kindly reminded Xu Zhiqing.

Miss Xu was stunned for a moment, too, I was confused, she glanced at Lord Lin: "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

"Come here with your ears." Master Lin hooked his fingers proudly.

Miss Xu put her ear to her ear, only to feel the slut blowing in her ear, and said softly: "My condition is very simple, hehe, just touch—"

"Slutty thief, shameless—" Miss Xu only felt a bang in her head, her face flushed red, and all the experiences from last night came to her mind again, tears filled her eyes, and suddenly they were about to fall.

"Hey, Miss Xu, you misunderstood—" Lord Lin hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that!"

Xu Zhiqing's eyes were red, her tears were rolling, she turned her head suddenly, her shoulders trembled slightly: "You don't need to say, I know your conditions. Since I have promised you, I will accept my fate. I just hope that you will try your best to help Luo Shi. Uncle find the silver."

"Isn't it, you understand before I say it?" Master Lin opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

"As far as the filthy thoughts in your heart, I don't even know about it." Miss Xu turned around, her eyes were bright, and she said calmly, "I promised you, this bet is valid."

Self-righteous girl, Lord Lin sighed, too lazy to explain to her. Luo Ning saw that something was wrong with the two of them, and hurriedly pulled Lin Wanrong back and said, "Brother, what request do you make to Sister Zhiqing?"

"I let her take advantage of me, do you believe it?" Lin Wanrong giggled.

Luo Ning shook his head firmly: "I don't believe it, the big brother will talk nonsense."

Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Zhiqing and sighed, "Yeah, don't say it's you. Even I don't believe it myself. Uncle, where did we just say?"

"Speaking of catching nets!" Shougong said with a smile: "The high official asked me about the size of the hole!"

"Oh, yes yes yes, uncle. How long is the longest distance between you fishing nets?" Lin Wanrong asked after thinking for a while.

"Well, the longest one is more than a mile long. Think about how long we have to pull the nets with hundreds of people each time. You can imagine how long it is." The scorpion said with a smile.

"Then can you make some longer ones, for example, several miles of land." Lin Wanrong followed suit, Xu Zhiqing frowned slightly, asking for such a long fishing net, does this guy really want to fish for money? Silly! stupid!

"If several fishing nets are connected together, one net can be as long as three or four miles long. If it is longer, it will not work. It is not easy to pull the ground!"

Master Lin patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Okay. It's only three or four miles long. Uncle, is it difficult to connect this net? Can you get me some more long fishing nets like this? I want thirty! "

The old man shook his head and smiled: "What's so difficult about this? We fishermen and boatmen, repairing a net and connecting a line is the most basic skill. It's no problem to fish as much as you want. ."

"It's great, it's great." Lin Wanrong took his hand excitedly: "Uncle. Could you please help me get some fishing nets as soon as possible, it's best to use them tomorrow, I will send this Hu Bu Big Brother Gui and his 2,000 elite soldiers assist you, do you think that?"

Seeing the anxious look on the official's face, the scorpion nodded and said: "This shouldn't be difficult, let this official Hu go to Sanxiang Jiuli to contact us, everyone rushes to work tonight, and tomorrow I promise to get you thirty long fishing nets, four miles. long!"

Everyone listened to him for a long time. She didn't know what he wanted this thing to do. Miss Xu was even more puzzled, and she felt a little joy in her heart. If he didn't succeed, he wouldn't have to fulfill the bet and be insulted by him. It's just that if he doesn't succeed, Ning'er's whole family will fall to the ground. For a while, in a dilemma, choosing which side to choose is embarrassing.

"Uncle, I just heard you say that you are planning to put some fry in the lake these days, is it true?"

The old man nodded: "That's true. Every spring, the fishermen raise half the funds and the government provides half. The fish fry are all ready-made, if you have money, you can do it. We have already discussed it some time ago, and we have already started to raise funds. It's just unfortunate that this happened to Lord Luo, and it was delayed."

"Don't, don't delay!" Master Lin said anxiously: "The release of fish in the spring is related to the livelihood of our fishermen brothers on Weishan Lake throughout the year. "

"We are even more anxious than you, sir!" Duke Shou said with a frown, "But there is no money right now, so we can't do anything about it."

"Uncle, how much money is missing?" Lin Wanrong asked.

The old man stretched out three fingers, and when Lord Lin saw it, his chest clapped loudly: "Three hundred taels? Don't worry, uncle, I'm covered."

The little old man bent down and said respectfully, "Sir, it's three thousand taels!"

"Three-thousand-taels-" Master Lin grinned, his eyes going out: "Uncle, are you not mistaken? Three thousand taels of silver, this is simply a money grab!"

"There's no other way, it's the world right now. Three thousand taels of silver, three hundred thousand fish fry, this is the hope of all the fishermen in Weishan Lake." The old man sighed with a worried look on his face.

Three thousand taels of silver to buy 300,000 fry? Damn, the price punishment is fierce enough! Although Lao Tzu is a rich man, it is not easy for me to make money. Qiao Qiao is busy managing restaurants all day, and the money I earn is hard-earned money. If I sell a bottle of perfume, I will make a small profit of fifty or sixty taels. Three thousand taels is fifty bottles of perfume. Is it easy for me?

"Big brother," Luo Ning gently pulled his sleeve, with tears in his eyes: "Do you really want to buy fry?"

I don't fish, what do I buy fry for? Not for your dad! He nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, I want to buy fish fry and become a fisherman on this Weishan Lake, Ning'er, are you still willing to follow me?"

Luo Ning smiled shyly: "Big brother hates it the most, Ning'er is your wife, and Ning'er will support you in whatever you want to do. Big brother, before my grandmother went to the capital, she left me some jewelry, saying that she was going to give it to Ning'er. Dowry is worth as much as a thousand taels. Ning’er will give it to you, you can do whatever you want.”

This girl is so considerate, Master Lin patted her little face and giggled: "My dear, this time, eldest brother is bleeding heavily for you. You must make up for me tonight."

"How to compensate?" Luo Ning's face flushed with a faint blushing, looking at him, biting his lips lightly, water seemed to drip from his eyes.

Lord Lin pinched her cute little buttocks, and said with a wicked smile, "Tonight we will do a back entry, make sure my little Ning'er tries it and wants to try it."

"Big brother—" Luo Ning whispered, and lowered his head in shame.

"Uncle, I took out the three thousand taels of silver." Master Lin's face flushed red, he took out the silver note from his arms, counted it carefully for a long time, and felt a pain in his heart: "But I have one condition. You can go back now. , that the fish fry and fishing nets will be collected together tomorrow morning, and then I will bring the strong labor of the fishermen from the ten miles and eight townships to me, and I will say that my master will feed the fish three thousand taels of silver, and requisition them for a few days. This business is not done. of?"

"I did it, I did it." The little old man fell to his knees excitedly: "My lord is really a bodhisattva from heaven, and the little old man and the surrounding fathers and villagers are very grateful."

Lin Wanrong helped him up, sighed and said, "Uncle, I'm not a Bodhisattva, and I also have selfish intentions. If I can get back the 350,000 taels of silver, I will make a lot of money, and this business will be worth it. If I can't find it, even if I have accumulated merits for my father-in-law, let's do one last practical thing for the villagers!"

"Sir, don't worry, I'll go back and inform the villagers now. Even if we've worked our hardest, we have to prepare the fry and fishing net within the time you requested. The little old man can't read a few words. I don’t understand what is selfish and public, but one thing is clear, as long as you can help the villagers, no matter what kind of heart you have, it is called kindness.”

The little old man explained the boat, handed it over to a guy, jumped into another boat, and respectfully kowtowed to Lin Wanrong. It was too late for Lord Lin to help him, so he had to let him go.

Luo Yuan gave him a thumbs up, Luo Ning's face flushed red, hugged tightly in his arms, and said softly: "Xiang Gong, you are the best person in the world! Ning'er will always be there for you. pride!"

Three thousand taels of silver, bought back a pride, Laozi's business is also worth it. Master Lin smiled comfortably, buried his head on Ning'er's shoulder and said, "Ning'er, my husband is injured and his heart is bleeding. Take your husband back, let's have sex during the day, and comfort your husband!"

Luo Ning shyly covered her cheeks, and her delicate calf touched the eldest brother's leg, an indescribable ** taste.

"Shameless thief." Xu Zhiqing was standing beside the two of them, listening to the whispers of the boudoir without falling into her ears. What happened last night came back to her heart, and she felt resentment in her heart. Thinking that he wanted nets and fish, he looked quite confident. Although he didn't know how he was going to make money, he had a vague premonition in his heart that he was afraid that he would lose this time. Touch this thief again? I'm afraid this thief will get used to it when he touches it!

There was a fever on her face, and she secretly looked over, only to see the thief buried his head on Ning'er's shoulders, smiling at her, that smile, eerie, indescribable lewdness
