Chapter 96 Using your body as bait to catch a real dragon?

After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather comes late in autumn~

The Qianling River runs through Daliang and has many tributaries. After passing Jiangling Mansion, the water flow slowed down.

There are often boats on the river, including ferries for traveling on the waterway, fishermen's boats for fishing, flower boats for wealthy families to play, and canoes used for water transportation...

They are all different, but have no intersection...

An old ferry boat ripples on the river.

Xu Boqing was half leaning on the bow of the boat, with a bamboo hat on his head, an empty fish basket beside him, and a yellowed fishing rod in his hand.

Perhaps it was because the fish in the river were too difficult to catch, so he still put his other hand on the deck to support his chin, squinting his eyes and dozing off...

At some point, there was a fishing boat on the river.

There were several pelicans standing on the bow of the boat looking at the river with their heads tilted. After spotting the fish, the pelicans jumped into the water and soon emerged from the water with a large, fresh and lively fish in their mouths. They held their heads high in front of their master as if asking for credit.

brain.

It looks no different from an ordinary fishing boat. The only difference is that the owner of this fishing boat is a middle-aged woman wearing simple clothes...

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the fishing boat slowly approached Xu Boqing's boat as it rippled on the river.

Wait until it is within a few feet.

The middle-aged woman on the fishing boat glanced at him and saw that he was dozing with squinted eyes. She raised her eyebrows and smiled as if to remind: "Brother, wake up, there is a fish on the bait~"

As she spoke, the unmoved fish float suddenly sank, and the fishing line was pulled straight...

"Huh?"

Xu Boqing was startled and woke up from his sleep. Seeing the fishing line moving around, he smiled meaningfully and said: "This is really a fish biting the hook. It's rare~ It's rare~~"

After saying that, with a flick of his wrist, the fishing line broke through the water and made a "rinsing" sound, and a plump and tender big bass broke out of the water.

The weight is at least seven or eight kilograms~

He reeled in the rod and line, caught the fish, took out a nail-like straight hook from the fish's mouth, turned sideways and threw the fishing rod and fishhook back into the cabin.

Then he looked at the middle-aged fisherman on the side while holding the gills, and said with a slight smile: "My sister-in-law is really a lucky star. I have been fishing here for several days, and no fish has bitten the hook...

As soon as you come here, a fish will bite the hook, and it is such a big, tender and plump fish, so this lunch is guaranteed."

"How come there are no fish biting the hook after fishing for several days?"

The middle-aged woman on the fishing boat smiled and said in a teasing tone: "I'm afraid you were napping when the fish bit the hook."

"Hahaha...yes, yes, yes~~"

Xu Boqing smiled inexplicably, cupped his hands and said, "This fish is fat and beautiful, and I got it because of my sister-in-law's words. It would be a pity for the next person to eat it alone. I wonder if my sister-in-law can give me a compliment?"

"..."

The woman on the fishing boat was slightly startled...

Seeing this, Xu Boqing cupped his hands and smiled bitterly: "It's Xu Menglang. Xu can understand my sister-in-law's doubts. In that case, let's say goodbye."

"Brother, I misunderstood..."

The woman on the fishing boat pushed the boat closer. When the two boats were close, she stepped onto the ferry and said with a smile: "Country women don't know the general situation. I hope you won't be surprised."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Xu Boqing stood up with a hearty laugh, made a gesture to sit down, and said, "My sister-in-law and I hit it off immediately. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will blame me for Meng Lang's remarks."

"Too serious..."

Seeing that he was still holding the fish in his hand, the woman asked tentatively: "Do you need help with this fish?"

"Sister-in-law, just sit down and..."

Xu Boqing waved his hand, took a small knife with him, and by the side of the boat, he used the river water to remove the gills and scales of the big fish in his hand, and removed the internal organs...

"I know that my sister-in-law has been living by the water for a long time, and she must be tired of eating fresh water from the rivers, lakes and seabeds, but today, you have to try my craft."

"oh?"

The woman was surprised and said with a smile: "Brother, is it possible that your method of cooking fish is different?"

"That's not..."

Xu Boqing took out the charcoal stove in the cabin, lit the fire and set up the pot, and then said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, you don't know something. There are thousands of people and thousands of flavors in this world...

Although the method of cooking fish is roughly the same, I am a different person, so the taste of the fish will definitely be different."

"..."

The fisherwoman was slightly in a trance.

First, I heard what he said;

Secondly, she just looked at the cabin following the person and saw the straight hook thrown in the cabin...

Straight hook??

fishing!?

Her eyes moved slightly and she said: "I can finally tell that my little brother is different. He actually uses a straight hook to fish..."

"Some people fish for fish, and some fish for entertainment. My straight-hook fishing is just for fun, but it makes my sister-in-law laugh."

Xu Boqing responded casually, as if he didn't know anything, and concentrated on steaming the fish, fiddling with the charcoal in the stove, adding water to the pot, and blowing on the fire. It seemed like that was the case.

Although the woman was suspicious, she didn't ask any more questions when she saw this. She just pretended not to know and changed the subject: "May I ask my name?"

"Xu Boqing."

"Good name~"

The woman nodded slightly, and then asked tentatively: "How old are you, my little brother? You don't look very old, so why do you come to this riverside to make a living?"

"age……"

Xu Boqing paused slightly when he heard this, thinking to himself that he had the memory of two lifetimes, and it would be wrong to deny either of them, so it's really hard to tell his age...

Then he responded vaguely: "I am older than my sister-in-law expected. I am just passing by the river. I am not here to make a living."

"..."

The woman saw that he was a little lost in thought when he mentioned his age, so she secretly sighed, 'It's true,' and when she heard the words, 'She should be older than my sister-in-law expected,' she strengthened her guess...

She nodded slightly and said in a teasing tone: "Then you shouldn't call me brother, you should call me sir~"

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to hurt you..."

Xu Boqing waved his hands repeatedly, then seemed to have thought of something and asked, "May I ask my sister-in-law's name?"

"..."

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Ao Lan."

"Ao Lan~ You can't hide your nobility, what a good name~"

Xu Boqing sighed in admiration, but still pretended not to know her identity and asked: "I don't mean to offend, but my sister-in-law is a woman, how can she come to this river to make a living?"

"..."

Ao Lan seemed to think of something in the past. She felt nostalgic, but also sighed helplessly, and said: "My husband's family died young, and there is a disobedient son in the family. If I don't come out to make a living, both of us will starve to death."

."

"..."

Xu Boqing's cheeks stiffened, and he knew that he was being a little abrupt, so he said sincerely: "Xu didn't mean to expose my sister-in-law's scars. I'm really sorry."

"It doesn't matter."

The woman smiled nonchalantly and said, "This matter has happened many years ago. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have even forgotten it..."

After that, both of them fell into silence...

When he was slaying demons at Jiang Shen Temple a few days ago, Xu Boqing vaguely felt that someone was secretly watching him...

It was just that the energy was in chaos at that time, and it was raining and night, so even the Third Eye and Dharma Eye could not see anything.

At first, he thought it was the toad spirit's helper, or some other evil spirit...

Therefore, he was very grand when he started, and even borrowed the divine power from the Water God's Talisman to cut off the river and kill the monster.

In order to make the snoopers afraid!!

The effect has also been achieved…

No other evil spirits jumped out until the demon slaying queen left, but the feeling of being watched always existed.

Considering that he could occupy water conservancy on the river and rely on the power of the Water God Talisman, he wandered on the Qianling River for several days, not hesitate to use his body as bait in order to fish out those who were spying on him.

Now, the existence that was spying in the secret was fished out, but it was a little different from what he imagined. It was neither a human nor a monster in the conventional sense...

But...a dragon!!

Real dragon!!
