Chapter 21 Swimming Fish

Five years have passed.

The fourteen-year-old Gu Yijiu came to the small village at the foot of the mountain to collect goods as usual.

The delivery man was a middle-aged man wearing a businessman's gown. When he saw Gu Yijiu, he was happy and hurriedly greeted him: "Ruijiu, here."

Gu Yijiu responded and joked to the middle-aged man: "Mr. Watanabe, you are becoming more and more like a businessman now."

Mr. Watanabe was the leader of the guards back then. He smiled and said, "This is all thanks to you. Without your recommendation, how could we be appreciated by Mr. Masain? Without your face, how could everyone be entrusted with important tasks and become managers in various places in just a few years?"

Gu Yijiu shook her head: "The first half is a barely sentence, but the second half is very wrong. You can take on important positions because of your own efforts, and it has nothing to do with me."

Mr. Watanabe smiled and said, "In short, everyone will remember your kindness."

Gu Yijiu said helplessly: "You have to thank you every time. It's so long-winded. Hand over the goods quickly. I'm lazy to talk to you."

Mr. Watanabe was not angry either. He was about to take ancient charity wine to check the goods, but a hustle and bustle came from the small village.

Two drunk men came, and this family took a cake, and the other family grabbed a handful of rice, ate half of it, and threw half of it, which was very arrogant.

The villagers dared not speak out.

The two drunk men saw the goods behind Gu Yijiu, and their eyes were greedy. They came over to push Gu Yijiu away. The fierce god asked, "Whose goods is this?"

Gu Yijiu was about to speak, but Mr. Watanabe pulled him behind him.

Then he saw Mr. Watanabe smiling and said, "My family, my family."

The drunk man spat and said disgusted: "Now the world is turbulent, you, a stinky businessman, are still devoted to making money. It's really a shame. I, the reformist patriot, stand up for justice, and you should serve these goods. We will create a peaceful and prosperous era to return you."

Faced with such harsh words, Mr. Watanabe was still not annoyed. He whispered a few words to the two drunks and stuffed a few more pieces of silver, which made the two drunks satisfied.

"Well, you are sensible. OK, I will write down your appearance. With our protection, you can trade with peace of mind here."

"Thank you two for your care."

The two drunk men left happily.

I vaguely heard them discussing which pub was beautiful.

Gu Yijiu said, "I thought you would beat those two people up."

Mr. Watanabe smiled bitterly: "If I were still a guard, I would definitely beat those two people up. But I am a businessman now, so I should make money with peace."

Gu Yijiu felt something was right and asked again: "Is the reform trend so prosperous? It's even the edge of Edo Castle."

Mr. Watanabe whispered: "Your Excellency General is seriously ill, so the monsters and monsters below naturally cannot hold back. Not only the reformists, there are Yixiangsects in the north and Jiafeimen in the west, but even the little master far away in Kyoto was thinking about it, which made the situation complicated."

Gu Yijiu said curiously: "I have seen a few people from the Reformed Sect. I wonder who are the people of the Yixiangzong and Jiafeizhong?"

Mr. Watanabe sighed and replied, "Yixiangzong is a monk, and Jiafeimen are bandits. Alas, the world has finally stabilized, and if the war starts again, it will be a great sin."

Gu Yijiu smiled and said, "You are a businessman now, so you naturally hope for peace in the world. If you are still a warrior, you probably wouldn't think so."

Mr. Watanabe sighed: "It is because of the complexity of people's hearts that the world is in turmoil."

The two handed over the goods and said goodbye.

When I walked halfway up the mountain, I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance from the ancient charity wine. The fragrance was like osmanthus and orchids. Although it was thick and not charming, it gave people a feeling of grace and generosity.

Gu Yijiu saw a woman, and a woman also saw him.

The woman herself has a great appearance, and she is wearing gorgeous clothes and light makeup. She is extremely bright and beautiful. She suddenly saw that the man was not shy, but instead said with a tribute: "Hello, boy."

Gu Yijiu nodded and returned the gift: "Miss, too."

The woman asked again: "Are you familiar with this mountain?"

Gu Yijiu nodded: "I have lived here for many years and have a brief understanding of it."

"That's great." The woman was delighted and asked quickly: "Do you know there is a woman on the mountain, probably looking like this."

As he said that, the woman stopped smiling and stretched the corners of her eyes with her fingers, turning into a serious and cold beauty.

Gu Yijiu laughed out loud: "It's the master."

There was no way, the girl's stern face looked at least seventy-seventh-seventh-slightly similar to the Immortal Star, so he naturally recognized it at a glance.

"Ah, she actually accepted the disciples?" The woman was startled, and then she looked sympathetic, as if she was looking at the bullied kitten and puppy: "Then you must be beaten and scolded by her every day, right? It's so pitiful."

Gu Yijiu was so amused that she clarified: "The teacher of the family is gentle and treats me very well. Occasionally, it is also the time for teaching. The so-called beating and scolding is absolutely impossible."

The woman was shocked again, shivered and hugged her shoulders and said, "The first time I heard someone say she was 'gent', I always feel like I was being targeted by something unclean."

The ancient wine was speechless.

The woman covered her mouth and smiled, stopped having fun, and said respectfully: "Please guide the way and let me meet her. Please rest assured that I am not a bad person, but her mother's sister."

Gu Yijiu was not surprised and nodded and responded: "I should guide you when you come to the door. Please walk here."

The girl thanked her and asked curiously: "Have you heard your master talk about me?"

Gu Yijiu shook her head: "Never."

"Then why you know my identity, and you are not surprised."

Gu Yijiu replied: "You must be a blood relative if you look so similar to your master."

The girl suddenly realized and praised repeatedly: "Yes, I never thought of such a simple truth. You are so smart."

"Just a little cleverness is nothing. Slowly, it's narrow here, be careful to slide." As soon as Gu Yijiu finished speaking, she suddenly felt something and blocked the girl.

The girl glanced at him and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

A man pretending to behave suddenly walked out of the woods opposite him.

Gu Yijiu was slightly surprised.

He could see that this man had extraordinary swordsmanship and was very powerful.

In such a barren mountain and wild ridge, such a master suddenly appeared, must have come from the girl in a gorgeous costume behind her.

Sure enough, when the other party saw him blocking the girl, his pupils shrank and his whole body was tense, like a cheetah preyed on him, ready to go.

The two of them met several times, but they couldn't tell the difference. They found each other's flaws, but they were fleeting.

He was frozen in place for a moment.

The girl looked around and wondered, "What trick are you two doing?"

The two of them said at the same time: "Be careful, this person is amazing."

With a word, both of them were stunned.

The girl's eyes rolled and guessed the reason, she couldn't help but laugh.

She first said to Gu Yijiu, "Don't worry, this is my guard." Then she said to the man, "It's okay, this is my sister and disciple."

The two of them were wary and gave a little embarrassed salute.

Gu Yijiu knew she was young, so she took the lead in apologizing: "You are reckless and misunderstood by your Excellency."

The man looked bitter and said in a mute voice: "I dare not, just servants, young master doesn't have to care."

"The one who is good is the first, and you are far superior to me, so you should care."

The man still said frowningly: "Where is the young and promising young man, I feel ashamed of myself."

After a commercial blow, the three of them arrived in front of the hut.

Gu Yijiu called out the master, but no one answered.

He was not in a hurry and explained to the girl: "The master probably went fishing and returned at the meal. You two will rest in the house and wait for her to come back."

The girl widened her eyes and looked at the servant, asking in disbelief: "Ai Nosuke, did you hear it? My sister...had actually gone fishing!"

Ainosuke shook his head with a bitter face: "I believe in killing fish, but fishing is unimaginable."

The girl grabbed Gu Yijiu's arm and asked seriously: "Can my sister really catch fish?"

Ancient wine points to the water tank at the door.

When the girl looked at it, she saw three or four carp rippling leisurely among them.
