Free Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 144 Carp Retribution

At this time, a golden carp swam from the pond. The carp is half a foot long, and its fat body has an inexplicable domineering atmosphere. There is an inexplicable tumor on its forehead, which adds some strangeness. The carp was about to dominate. As soon as it stretched out its mouth to beg for food, the other carp dodged.

When Fang Shaowen saw the carp, he couldn't help smiling and nodded to the carp. The carp, as if he recognized Fang Shaowen, waved its tail and went in the direction of Fang Shaowen.

At this time, Song Keyen saw the body on the side of the carp and saw two strange scars on its side. The scar seemed to be torn abruptly.

Fang Shaowen bent down and saw the carp, as if he had seen an old friend.

"How are you? How are you doing?" Fang Shaowen said with a smile.

The carp seemed to understand Fang Shaowen's words. He waved his tail, as if answering Fang Shaowen's words again.

"I have to go. I'll see you next time!" Fang Shaowen said with a smile.

The carp spit out a blister, waved its tail, turned around, and swam to the depths of the pond. Fang Shaowen smiled and stood up straight. He turned his face and looked at Song Keren.

"My father is not feeling well. Let's go back first!" He said.

Song Keren nodded, and she knew about it. It's not that Mr. Fang is uncomfortable. It must be that Mr. Fang doesn't agree with this marriage. Hey, things are ermanent.

Among the two men she met, she couldn't even tell which one she loved.

For her, the sincere Fang Shaowen seems to be her best destination. It's not that Fang Shaowen's family is rich, but his goodness to her is enough to make her down-to-earth.

What is more rare for a woman than getting such a sincere emotion? These can't be exchanged for silver and jewelry.

Seeing that Song Keyen's face was a little gloomy, Fang Shaowen smiled and said, "Do you know why the carp is all golden?"

Song Keren looked at Fang Shaowen and shook his head.

Fang Shaowen said with a smile, "That carp is a little interesting. In fact, it is my amulet!"

Song Keren immediately widened his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Amulet?"

"Ye! That's not true!" Fang Shaowen blinked his eyes.

Song Keren immediately smiled and said, "I really haven't heard of it. I know the amulet asked for in the temple, and I also know that the bright Buddha beads can protect the master. I also know that the jade worn all year round also serves as a protector. It's the first time I've heard that carp can protect itself!"

Fang Shaowen led Song Keren out of the moon gate and said proudly, "Don't you know? Then listen to me slowly!"

Fang Shaowen stretched out his hand to open the branch next to the moon door for fear that Song Keyen would accidentally be hung up. Winter is coming, and the dry branches stretch out their unique dance posture, showing their not-so-so wonderful posture to the world.

"Bear, are you going to say hello to your father and aunt?" Song Keren asked.

Fang Shaowen hesitated for a moment and immediately said, "No, don't say hello. My father has an old problem, as you know, he doesn't want to be seen by others. Old people are always prone to this and that.

Song Keyen nodded, knowing that Master Fang didn't want to see him. Her heart is inevitably melancholy, and it is no wonder that if she were a parent, she may not be able to accept that her son wants to marry such a girl.

In the end, he is a merchant family. Even if he doesn't marry a daughter, he should marry a suitable family, so that he can match him.

She also doesn't understand what Fang Shaowen like about herself. What attracted him? Love is really an inexperable thing. It has no difference, but it will eventually lose its way in the tide of time and the secular world.

Out of the second door, Song Keyen slowly glanced at the yard. This is the first time she has come to this yard, and I'm afraid it will be the last time. Does she have the ability to marry into this yard? Song Keren is not sure, because she is not sure whether she loves him or not.

Out of the three doors, the car was ready. Just like when they came, Fang Shaowen helped Song Keren get on the car. Fang Shaowen felt the cold sweat in Song Keren's palms, cold, like tears.

Sitting in the car, the little boy hung up the curtain. Song Keren looked at the blue car curtain and felt like a different world. It seems that this is another matter of time and space, which has nothing to do with herself.

Fang Shaowen smiled awkwardly.

"Why don't you ask about the carp?" Fang Shaowen deliberately led Song Keren to say.

Song Keren paused for a moment, smiled and said, "Yes, the carp grows strangely, with a pimple on its forehead and two wounds on its body..."

"That helped me prevent the disaster." Fang Shaowen said with a smile.

Song Keren was immediately interested. She never thought that an ordinary carp would have such a great effect.

"Typ, tell me, how can I help you block it?" She asked.

When Fang Shaowen saw that Song Keyen was interested, his heart was much quieter. What he was most worried about was Song Keren's wild thoughts. Thought is the most terrible thing. It can easily destroy any indestructible line of defense. Just like the sharpest spear meets the hardest shield.

"Do you know that there is a custom in our family? When I was five years old, I began to recite the Tao Te Ching. At that time, there was a big fish tank in the yard of my house, and I recited it to that big fish tank every day. At that time, there were seven or eight carp in the fish tank. However, they are all small, and their index fingers are so long. Speaking of this, Fang Shaowen stretched out his index finger and measured it.

He took a look at Song Keren, who had a shallow smile on his face and was listening to him carefully.

"How old was I at that time? I don't like to recite anything. My father forced me to carry it every day, and he looked at me against the back of the fish tank every day. Of course, I only recite the Tao Te Ching. Later, I gradually grew up, and my father relaxed a lot. Even when he endorsed the fish tank, he refused to relax. It was not until I was 12 years old that my father told me, guess what he said? Fang Shaowen deliberately led Song Keren to speak.

"What did you say?" Song Keren asked.

Fang Shaowen smiled and said, "My father said that in the past six years, he has helped me find an amulet for me to carry the Tao Te Ching continuously against the carp."

"Oh? How to say this?" Song Keren asked.

Fang Shaowen leaned against the carriage and said with a smile, "Do you know what the carp will become after jumping over the dragon gate?"

Song Keyen shook his head and blinked at Fang Shaowen. The carriage creaked and bumped on the path paper in the countryside.

"I don't know, but I heard that after the carp jumps over the dragon gate, it will become a real dragon. Therefore, the carp has a place for the dragon to say.

"Oh, that's it!" Song Keyen nodded.

Hearing this, Fang Shaowen continued: "My father said that reciting the Tao Te Ching to the carp every day actually helps the carp to promote. After it crossed the dragon gate, it became a dragon. What else can happen if another dragon in the sky guards you?

After listening to Fang Shaowen's words, Song Keren couldn't help asking, "So this fish has become a dragon?"

Fang Shaowen thought for a moment and tilted his head and said, "I don't know. In those years, almost all the fish in the fish tank died. In the end, he was the only one left. In the past, it was red and slowly turned golden yellow. Look at a huge tumor on its forehead, and you don't know what it is. That year, when the pond was dug, my father asked me to put it in the pond. Although this pond is dead, it will be much more comfortable than the fish tank.

"I think it has a wound on its body?" Song Keren asked.

Fang Shaowen nodded and said, "It should have helped me block the evil. In those years, I was naughty and climbed up the room with the two little ones. As a result, he slipped under his feet and fell down with his head. But he fell to the ground and was not hurt at all. When I saw the fish the next day, it had one more injury. The other time, I jumped into the water on the mountain to save you. When I got home, I saw another wound on the fish.

Hearing this, Song Keren's heart rippled with happiness. That time, he hardly thought about it and jumped into the water to save her. He exchanged his life for her life. If there was no carp to protect him, would he still live?

At this time, Fang Shaowen gently pressed his hand on her hand. Song Keren held his hand tightly. At that moment, she had a firm idea in her heart and wanted to venture into the future with him.

The golden carp spit a bunch of bubbles in the pond.

Li's mother went to the backyard, threw the fish food into the pond, sighed and left.

In the clean bedroom cleaned by Master Fang and Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao carefully peeled off the shell of the crystal persimmon. He put the spoon into the small mouth that had just been opened and looked at Master Fang uneasily.

Although Master Fang leaned against the chair with his eyes closed, he also clearly felt Aunt Zhao's eyes. He couldn't help sneering and asked, "Are they leaving?" Why do you always look at me?

Aunt Zhao was shocked and asked, "Sir, how do you know I'm looking at you?"

Master Fang opened his eyes, and Aunt Zhao immediately got up and handed over the bowl with persimmons.

Master Fang sneered and glanced at Aunt Zhao.

"If I don't have this ability, can I still suppress this house?" He said.

Aunt Zhao spit out her tongue like a child.

Master Fang sighed, shook his head, and pushed away the persimmon handed over by Aunt Zhao.

"What do you think? Why..."

"Sir, it's not what Shaowen thinks now, but what you think!" Aunt Zhao interrupted Master Fang's nagging and spit out the words she had been holding for half a day.

After saying this sentence, I suddenly felt much more comfortable. As soon as Fang Shaowen left, she wanted to ask. However, she is also very clear about the consequences of asking this question.

Sure enough, the old man Fang stared and coughed.
