After Zhou Zhongyi left the military camp, he wandered around all day with nothing to do until he heard his father say that he wanted to eat the schizothorax from Nujiang River. After asking around, he learned that the schizothorax was only found in the streams of Mount Gongga.
He ran back and forth several times but didn't catch any fish. This was his seventh time.
Handing the fishing rod to Dazhi, Zhou Zhongyi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Where do you want to go, little sister?"
Jiang Nv was stunned. She didn't know the name of the place where Grandma lived, or even Grandma's name. She could only say, "It's a ravine. Not far from the ravine is the Nujiang River."
Zhou Zhongyi thought maliciously that he was actually a fool. He curled his lips and said, "Oh, I know this place. If you walk a little further, you will see it."
Jiang Nu was overjoyed and thanked her several times, then quickened her pace and walked forward. She had been out for so long and hadn't returned yet, so her grandmother must be worried.
Dazhi was puzzled. "Master, isn't there a cliff ahead? What if something happens?"
Zhou Zhongyi curled his lips and said, "She's just a silly wild girl. What could possibly happen to her? Master, I'm going to teach her a lesson today."
Jiang Nu looked at the cliff in front of her and glanced down the mountain. There was indeed a ravine at the bottom of the mountain in front of her left, and there were a few houses vaguely visible in the ravine.
But he was a million miles away from her, and only then did she realize that she had been fooled.
"Oh, little sister is back so soon?" Zhou Zhongyi sneered and looked at Dazhi in a sarcastic tone, "Dazhi, do you think she is angry?"
Jiang Nu had been busy for most of the day and was tired and hungry. She originally didn't want to pay any attention to the two people, but they had done something wrong and were so shameless that they even ridiculed her.
He suddenly became furious, bent down, picked up a big rock on the ground and threw it at the two of them.
The stone fell high into the water, and the stream splashed all over the master and servant's heads and faces.
Dazhi shuddered, wiped the water off his face, took a closer look, and suddenly became excited, "Master, look, a fish, a schizothorax!!"
Zhou Zhongyi opened his eyes wide and looked at the place where Dazhi pointed. A long line ran through the head and tail. The fish, with a green and yellow body and tiny scales that shone with colorful luster in the sun, was floating motionlessly on the water.
The fish's eyes are rolled up, it is deader than dead!
“Ah!!!!” Zhou Zhongyi collapsed and held his head. “You, you, ah ah ah, you bitch, I’m going to kill you!!!”
Jiang Nu pulled out a torch and bluffed, "Just try it, watch me, I'll beat you to a pulp!" In fact, she was ready to run away at any time, because she already knew the general direction to go back.
Seeing the young man walking towards her, Jiang Nu ran away.
Zhou Zhongyi yelled, "You little bitch, don't run!"
Jiang Nu: "Pooh!"
The little girl looked small, but she ran quite fast, disappearing in a flash. Mount Gongga had a complex terrain, so Zhou Zhongyi didn't dare to continue chasing her. He sat down on the ground exhausted from catching his breath. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of something red in the grass. He reached out and picked it up. It turned out to be a red rabbit purse the size of a palm.
Dazhi was curious, "Master, this purse is very unique. It's not like the ones we have in South Vietnam. The material looks like silk."
Zhou Zhongyi, however, found it quite ordinary and said disdainfully, "It's just an old worn-out purse. Maybe this wild girl picked it up in the river."
He squeezed it hard with his hands, and found something hard inside. "What good things can that little girl have?" Zhou Zhongyi opened his purse and took a look inside. He was stunned at the first glance, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. Zhou Zhongyi rubbed it hard and said, "Dazhi, do you remember the black gold ancient blade I always wanted when I was eight years old, the one that my father always refused to give me and then disappeared? Do you think this one looks like it?"
Dazhi scratched his head and said, "Master, it does look a bit like him!"
Zhou Zhongyi placed the knife in front of his eyes and examined it carefully. The blade was black with smooth lines and some tiny scratches on the blade surface, probably because the owner used it frequently.
Seeing the words engraved on the hilt, Zhou Zhongyi was certain that this was definitely the sword his father had lost nine years ago, the posthumous work of the previous dynasty's swordsmith master Feng Yang - the black gold short blade "Dustless".
Zhou Zhongyi was completely dumbfounded. Wuchen was worth a fortune and was his father's favorite. How could it be in the hands of a wild girl in the mountains?
In the distance, the forest was deep and dense, with no sign of life. A gentle mountain breeze blew, making the master and servant, whose clothes were already wet, shiver.
Did I see a ghost in broad daylight? Today's incident is really weird.
Zhou Zhongyi returned to the bridge in a trance. "Dazhi, slap yourself."
"Ah?" Dazhi thought he had misheard.
"Just smoke when I tell you to!"
"Oh." Dazhi raised his hand and smashed it down on his face with a "bang".
Zhou Zhongyi hurriedly asked, "Does it hurt?"
Dazhi said aggrievedly, "Master, it hurts."
"It hurts, it hurts—" Zhou Zhongyi's face changed slightly. "Hurry, let's go back now."
Dazhi held up the dead fish and asked, "Master, do you still want the fish?"
"No, go away, go away!"
Dazhi was completely confused. "Oh, Master, wait for me."
On the other side, Jiang Nu went around in circles and finally saw the familiar small courtyard before the sun set.
"Grandma—woooo." Jiang Nu ran towards the old woman.
The old man was extremely anxious when he saw her take so long to come back. When she finally came back, he couldn't help but blame her and feel distressed. "Where have you been, kid? You've been gone all day. The forests in the mountains are dense and there are poisonous insects. Old people don't dare to walk around casually. Your clothes are all torn, and there are bites here and there from insects. It's scary.
At the dinner table, Jiang Nu gobbled the food on the table and spoke incoherently about what happened in the mountains today.
The old man was terrified. "This kind of venomous snake probably came out of its nest to breathe after being soaked by the rain. It will be better when the weather gets cooler."
Jiang Nu had already noticed the things placed at the foot of the wall. "Grandma, are there any guests coming to our house today?"
The old man was very kind. "My daughter came back to visit me today. I live far away and it's rare for her to come."
When Jiang Nv was taking a bath in the evening, she found that her purse was missing when she took off her clothes. Such a small purse fell into the mountains and there was no way she could find it again.
After realizing this reality, Ms. Jiang was depressed for a moment and then let the matter go.
The old man walked in with a smile, holding a stack of new clothes. "I just made them for you. See if they fit. And this—" He pulled out a seven-leaf golden flower hairpin like a magic trick. "This is the favorite hair ornament for our sisters in Dali."
The pearl hairpin weighed down her hand, and Jiang Nu immediately shook her head, "Grandma, it's too valuable. I can't accept it."
The old man put the hairpin on her head and said with great satisfaction, "It's not expensive, not expensive, it's made of copper gilded with gold. My daughter brought me a lot of things today, where else can I find more? I'm already an old lady, these will look good on you little girls."
Jiang Nu accepted it and asked curiously, "Grandma, where did your daughter marry?"
Old Man: "My son-in-law is a minor official in Dali City."
A minor official? Jiang Nu touched the material of the dress; it felt thick and smooth, with a faint pearlescent sheen. It seemed that minor officials in Dali City received a lot of salary, much more than those in the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Chao? Where is this? Jiang Nu was stunned and found that she could no longer remember anything.
