366 Chapter 23 Section 16

When Xu Yunde heard this, he became interested and asked, "I wonder what kind of myth it is? Brother Qian might as well tell us, I'm so curious."

Qian Yan nodded and then said, "I heard this from an old worker. It was a long time ago. Hulu Lake had no name at that time, and there were no residents around him. There were wilderness everywhere.

.One day in early spring, a sloppy old man walked by with a purple gourd. Seeing that the sun was good, the grass was lush by the lake, and the scenery was picturesque, he simply lay on the grass and rested leisurely. His big gourd

It happened to be filled with fine wine from nowhere. When I unscrewed the lid, a strong aroma of wine suddenly spread out. Even the butterflies flying around, the bees could not resist the alcohol and fell drunk.

Among the flowers.”

When Xu Yunde heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "How can there be such strong wine in this world? Myths are myths..."

But Porong was happy to hear it and pulled Qian Yan and said, "Brother Qian, don't pay attention to Brother Meng, let's continue talking."

Qian Yan nodded with a smile, and then continued to say: "The old man was drinking while watching the scenery and basking in the sun. It was because the wine was too tempting. In a short while, a full gourd was actually drunk by him.

No leftover! As the saying goes, although good wine is strong, it has a strong stamina. No matter how strong the old man has, he can't withstand so much wine. So after he finished drinking, he became drunk in a short while and fell down.

I fell asleep on the grass.”

"He slept so hard that he was really in a dark place. He slept for ten days and ten nights. During this period, a fisherman would come to the lake every afternoon to fish. At first, he saw an old man lying on the grass and not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

He also came to push him, but as soon as he approached, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol and thought to himself that he was a drunk! So he didn't pay much attention to it and went fishing on his own.

But the second day, the third day... the old man has not woken up. The fisherman was curious and thought to himself: How could there be such a sleeping person in the world! Well, I bring some dry food every day to prepare it, and see this

The old man doesn't eat or drink for many days, but just sleeps. When he wakes up, he should be hungry. I will give him dry food, which is also considered to be accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Thinking of this, the fisherman really did this.

Now.”

"Until the evening of the tenth day, the fisherman came here as soon as possible. Seeing that the old man was still sleeping, he pushed him forward for a few times but was not awake at all. He shook his head and went fishing by the water as usual

Go! But after a while, after a yawn, the old man woke up suddenly. The fisherman was happy and hurriedly put down the fishing rod and ran up to ask: 'Old man, you have been sleeping for a long time, I guess

You're hungry, I have some dry food here. If you don't dislike it, just take it to fill your stomach.' The old man smiled and agreed without hesitation. He took the dry cake and started eating it in big mouthful."

"When the fisherman saw that the old man had white hair and beard, his face was rosy, his eyes were bright, his skills were quick, and he was so capable of sleeping, he felt curious, and even forgot the fishing rod beside the water, so he simply sat next to him.

Asked: 'Old man, I'm not a local person when I met you, right?', the old man nodded, without saying a word, just gnawing on the cake. Seeing this, the fisherman continued to ask: 'You

Where did you come from? Where are you going?' When the old man heard this, he seemed to remember something important and hurriedly stopped his work, but he did not answer the fisherman's words, but just asked back

:'Young man, when is it today? How long have I been sleeping here?'"

"The fisherman replied: 'Today is March 20th, you have been sleeping here for ten days!''What!' When the old man heard this, he jumped up and said in surprise: '

You said it's already March 20th! I'm so sorry, old man, I just care about drinking, but I missed a big deal, it was extremely bad! Grandma's grandson, I will never drink anymore!' After that, I actually put it

The big purple gourd was thrown into the water. Where he was, it was still a hundred meters away from the waterside, but the old man threw it away so casually. The gourd was like a meteor, falling straight with a 'whoosh' sound

The center of the lake.”

"When the fisherman saw it, he was shocked. He thought that he was in his early thirties and was in his prime and did not have such great strength. This old man actually... However, without waiting for him to think more, the next scene made him even more difficult.

I believed that the old man who was still beside him in the blink of an eye had reached hundreds of feet away. From a distance, he was walking with his legs, but every time he took a step, his body would follow him.

After going far away, it disappeared on the horizon in a moment!"

"At the same time, the originally calm lake surface was now without wind and waves, and the swelling of the nest suddenly appeared, which was shocking. The fisherman knew that he must have encountered a god or a ghost, regardless of good or evil.

, I was afraid to stay at the waterside, and even ignored the fishing rod, so I ran home and didn't dare to go again for several days."

"Why don't the neighbors stop fishing when they see people who are addicted to fishing? Curiously, everyone came to ask the reason. The fisherman had no choice but to tell his own experience, but others laughed at him as he heard it.

There are no gods and demons in the world! Seeing that others don’t believe it, the fisherman said angrily: 'Now the lake is still surging. If you don’t believe it, go with me and see it with your own eyes!' The neighbors responded loudly, so

Dozens of people surrounded the fishermen and went to the lakeside, but who knew that the water surface had already recovered as usual, and there were any stormy waves! Everyone looked at this situation from afar and laughed at him for being foolish.

The fisherman couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that it was his own illusion?"

"With doubting the group and ignoring the ridicule of the people around, the angler led a group of people to walk closer and immediately, everyone was stunned by what they saw! Although the water surface was as calm as usual, the shore at this time

But I don't know when the gourds were covered with gourds, and the size of dolls were very cute! These people are residents nearby and come often by the water, so they are all familiar with this area, and when they see it, they are all out of thin air.

They were shocked by the large-scale gourds that came out and believed most of the fishermen! Since then, this lake has been renamed Huluhu."

After listening to the full story, Purong was very happy because she was in the village before, except hunting, but also hitting irons and falling. No one told her stories, let alone an unheard of myths. This time I heard it this time, I naturally like it.

She asked Xu Yunde: "Brother Stupid, do you think there are really gods in this world?"

Xu Yunde shook his head and said, "I have never seen it with my own eyes, how can I know it? It's just... In ancient times, people who practiced Taoism to the depths, supported their hands as heaven, and then became rivers, and went up the mountain and down the sea like walking on flat ground.

, it is a real thing to walk thousands of miles a day."

Hearing Xu Yunde's words, coupled with the banshee and blood-clothed thing I saw with my own eyes, Porong and Qian Yan were shocked. Qian Yan said: "In the past, I will beat you to death if you say these words by Brother Xu.

I don’t know how to believe it, but now I know that there are such masters in the world!”

Xu Yunde smiled and didn't say anything. While speaking, he suddenly saw a large lake not far ahead, but the river water inside was frozen. From a distance, it looked like a huge crystal clear crystal

Generally, although there was heavy snow in the sky at this time, there was not much snow on the ice surface. It must be because the ice layer was too dry and slippery. The snowflakes fell on it and fell down when the cold wind blew.

There is a bumpy area on the shore.

"This is Hulu Lake, right?" Xu Yunde asked, staring at the smooth ice surface.

Qian Yan nodded and said, "Yes, it's here! Look at the gourd racks there. Although they are all withered now, when spring comes, the shore is full of gourds and paintings. The scenery is really beautiful. There are many nearby ones.

Residents will come to pick gourds, take them back to make wine pots, make dry scoops, and then go to the market to sell them for money."

Xu Yunde and Porong followed his pointing. Sure enough, there was indeed a large area of ​​gourd shelves by the water. It seemed that the myths and legends were not groundless. While thinking about this, Xu Yunde walked over.

The three of them arrived on the shore one after another. Xu Yunde pulled out his karma knife from his arms, squatted and tested the ice layer. After two knifes, he stood up and said, "This winter is really cold and long, and the whole river is almost frozen.

It's the end!"

Porong asked, "Brother Benny, what are you going to do when you bring me to the lake? Could it be that it is really to capture a hundred kilograms of clams?"

Qian Yan was also very surprised when he heard this, and nodded and continued, "Yes, the river is so frozen so hard, how can we find the big clam under the water?"

Xu Yunde laughed and said, "In ancient times, there was a filial son who used his belly to turn into ice and gave him a mother with fish. Now, I, Xu Yunde, chiseled a cold winter and grabbed clams to save friends. If it spreads out in the future, I will become famous even afterwards.

!”

When Porong heard this, he said in surprise: "Brother Stupid, do you really want to dig ice and put it into the water?"

"Of course!" As he spoke, Xu Yunde had already untied his shirt, wore only a single jacket, walked to the center of the lake along the ice, swung the short knife in his hand, and chiseled it down.

A good person who digs holes is not inferior to digging ice holes. Under the surprised gazes of Porong and Qian Yan, a two-foot-wide ice pit appeared in the middle of the lake.

As the saying goes, three feet of ice will not be cold in one day, but the ice pit that Xu Yunde dug has passed by five or six feet, but there is no water. While doing work, he cursed: "Damn old man, man, I'm here.

I have suffered a lot for you. After taking the medicine, if you still look so ill, I think you can be worthy of who you can do!”

While speaking, there was a crisp sound of "swish". Xu Yunde felt the knife empty, and the cold lake water suddenly poured into the ice pit! Seeing this, he jumped up and said to Porong: "

Stupid girl, use your broken hammer for me!”

"Who said I'm a broken hammer! You are the stupid brother..." Porong retorted, and handed the black iron sledgehammer on his back to Xu Yunde.

After taking the hammer, Xu Yunde pounded at the bottom of the hole a few times, smashed all the thin ice on the bottom, and then returned the hammer to Porong and treated him.

Said: "Silly girl, I'll go underwater to find a big clam. You just need to pound the bottom of the pit from time to time, don't ask it to freeze again, otherwise I won't be able to get out and I will drown at that time.

No way down!"

When Borong heard this, she knew that this matter would not be careless, so she nodded seriously. But when she thought about it, she shook her head and said, "Brother Stupid, it must be so cold that the lake water must be so cold. You
