Chapter 55 Fifty-five

Mi Qian said at this time: "Brother Luo looks like a foreigner, why did he come to Shazhou Island?" Luo Kun said: "Mr. Ge Yunxiang on the island is an old friend with his family teacher, and because he has an appointment with his family teacher, he came here to meet him Unfortunately, my teacher and Mr. Ge were out, so I had to wait here." Luo Kun continued: "By the way, when I came to the island yesterday, I was waiting for a boat by the lake. Who knows that there are very few boats in Dongting, a land of fish and rice. Finally got on a ferry, but was robbed on the way." Mi Qian was shocked when he heard that: "Brother Luo, what kind of property was robbed? How did he get away?" Luo Kun laughed and said: "Those water robbers It's too useless, and I sent them all away with the oar." Mi Qian heard it and said in surprise: "Brother Luo is a knight with martial arts, no respect! No respect!" Luo Kun laughed: "A little self-defense technique Forget it, you can’t be considered a chivalrous man.” Then he said: “It was only later that I realized that there was banditry on Dongting Lake, so there were very few boats, Brother Mi Xian is a local, do you know some of these things?” Mi Qian heard that Luo Kun took the water by himself. The thief repelled, knowing that he was not an ordinary person, he felt admiration in his heart, and told the truth: "In recent years, a group of strong men have appeared out of nowhere, probably some fishermen by the Dongting Lake colluded with some criminals , doing the business of killing and extorting goods, a bloody case occurred in Dongting, eight hundred miles away, not only fewer boats selling goods and carrying passengers, but even fishermen are fishing near the shore, not daring to go deep, and the government has sent troops to encircle and suppress this gang of water It is a pity that they all returned in vain. I heard that there are quite a few water robbers in this group, led by a man named He Feiyan. Their whereabouts are secretive and erratic. Sometimes they gather to become robbers, rob money and sell goods, and sometimes disperse to serve the people. They are hidden by the lakeside and among the fishing villages on the islands, so they are extremely difficult to catch, but they are a group of very powerful men." Luo Kun said: "I don't know what kind of person is the leader of the bandit, He Feiyan?" Mi Qian said: "This person is especially good. Cunning, never committing crimes in person, probably this He Feiyan is also a pseudonym, no one knows his true face nowadays, the bandits he leads are very vicious, when they block the ship to rob the goods, they will kill anyone who resists. In a few days, the whistleblower will be decapitated for no reason, so those who know the truth dare not report it." Luo Kun said angrily: "This group of strong people are so overbearing. It's really abominable, but it's a pity that none of them were captured yesterday, otherwise, if you find out some details, you can eradicate them in one fell swoop." Mi Qian said: "This gang of strong men is very ghostly, and some victims have been caught several times by tricks. The famous water bandits, all called by Yun, only know that the leader is called He Feiyan, but he doesn't know where the lair is." Luo Kun heard this, surprised and said: "It seems that this group of strong men has scheming plans. Not easy to deal with."

At this time, Mion brought a pot of cooked carp and put it on the table, saying: "Today I have nothing else, but I will treat my little nobleman with the carp from the lake, and I will ask Qian'er to catch some in the lake tomorrow." Dongting soft-shelled turtle, let the little nobleman have a taste." After speaking, he brought another jar of rice wine, placed a few plates of fruits and vegetables, and then said: "Little nobleman, I have used it with Qian'er, and the old man is tired, so let's go rest first. Talk to you young people." Luo Kun quickly got up and thanked, but Mion stopped with his hands, and turned to go.Mi Qian and Luo Kun exchanged cups and drank each other. They were very happy. The two talked speculatively, and they felt like they hated seeing each other. Before they knew it, the wine and vegetables were exhausted, and they drank heartily.Towards evening, Mi Qian wanted to stay with Luo Kun for a long talk all night. Luo Kun was also reluctant to part with him, but fearing that his master would not be able to see him when he came back, he got up and said goodbye. He wanted to walk around the island and go back to Gejia Village. The captain sent it.Halfway through the journey, he met a small boat sent by housekeeper Ge Liu, and Luo Kun changed the boat.Mi Qian made an agreement with Luo Kun to pick them up early tomorrow morning, go to the lake to catch turtles and play, and then go back by boat.Back at Ge Mansion, Luo Kun saw that his master, Gu Sichen, hadn't come back yet, so he greeted Ge Liu and went to bed. Ge Liuzi complained to Luo Kun about "not coming back for dinner, but going to the fisherman's house to drink the light wine" Class words.

In the early morning of the next day, Mi Qian came to meet him by boat early.Seeing that Mi Qian was with him, Ge Liu felt relieved that they went to swim in the lake. Luo Kun said goodbye to Ge Liu, and went on a boat with Mi Qian.Eight hundred miles away, Dongting is connected to the Hunan, Zi, Yuan and Li rivers in the south, and the Yangtze River in the north. The water reaches the sky, and the sky connects with the water.The boat sailed close to the shore, looking as far as the eye can see, but you can see the lakeside, flat green fields, shepherd boys and cattle, the wind blows rice waves, and the water brings birds; People are intoxicated... Luo Kun stands on the bow of the boat, looking at this wonderful scene in the world, he is deeply moved.Mi Qian dived into the water, not far away, and from time to time a Dongting soft-shelled turtle or a few money fish and bream came in his hand, and Luo Kun clapped his hands and exclaimed, so happy.Dongting soft-shelled turtle, financial fish, and bream are three kinds of rare special seafood in Dongting Lake. They are delicious and famous far and wide, and are favored by chefs.Mi Qian rented a boat to go on his own in the lake, and when the fish was almost caught, he boarded the boat to talk to Luo Kun, telling some interesting things in the water.Luo Kun raised his head inadvertently, and suddenly saw a large island in the distance, surrounded by water on all sides, with towering peaks, and the mountains were like snails. Qian said: "This is Junshan, also known as Xiangshan. There are seventy-two peaks in the mountain, covered with mottled bamboos, tea gardens everywhere, and many historic sites, such as the 'Tomb of Concubine Xiang', Qin Shihuang's 'Fengshan Seal' is among them. " Luo Kun said happily after hearing this: "It's such a scenic spot, you have to visit." Mi Qian said with a smile: "Excellent! I just want to have a good time with Brother Luo."

The boat is close to a ferry on the shore. At this time, the water surface is already full of large and small boats. The shore is like a market, and it is very lively with people coming and going.Mi Qian found a gap, took the boat, looked around, saw an old man cooking on the boat not far away, and said to him: "Father Liu, show me the boat, I'll go up and walk. "The old man looked up and saw that it was Mi Qian, he couldn't help but said happily: "So it's the 'Little Dragon King', don't worry, the old man will take care of him." Mi Qian thanked, and pulled Luo Kun ashore.On the way, I met many acquaintances, and they all greeted Mi Qian warmly. Luo Kun smiled and said, "Your brother is really famous, and people know him everywhere." "The two found a restaurant, drank a pot of Biluochun, ate two bowls of Yangchun noodles, and then Mi Qian led Luo Kun to wander around.
