Women of the Qin family like to stay in the water, of course Lin Shuo knows this.
Because his grandma is like this, although she also lives on land on weekdays, whenever there is something happy or sad, she will definitely go into the water.
Even before she dies, she must go into the water, saying that the women of the Qin family are going to die in the water, so that when she is reborn in the next life, the ability in the water will still be there.
These are of course superstitions of the old people, but Lin Shuo is still very clear about this habit of the women of the Qin family.
It was the same when I was boarding on Peach Blossom Island as a child.
At that time, he was arranged by the old man at the home of his future father-in-law, Qin Xiangyang, to play with his future wife, Qin Yuerong, all day long.
At that time, the two of them didn't really get to play together, because usually the elder brother walked on the bank and the younger sister swam in the water.
Three years old and seeing the old, this is the leader on land and the girl in the water. Although they are equally famous in this life, they have no destiny.
It was the same at this moment, with a pretty face showing on the water, but she didn't go ashore, Qin Yuerong stayed in the river talking to Lin Shuo and others.
When everyone heard her say "people are alive", they let out a long sigh of relief.
Lin Shuo also said that people are still alive before, but that was his feeling, there was no proof, so everyone just heard it like this, wanting to take it seriously but dare not take it seriously.
When the same words came out of Qin Yuerong's mouth, the meanings were different. She must have witnessed it with her own eyes, or had some definite evidence.
"My name is Miao Chengyun. I don't know what to call this heroine?" Mr. Miao looked solemn at the moment, cupping his fists.
It was agreed before, to be polite to people, and then he didn't know what happened before, so he had to pretend now.
"My name is Qin Yuerong. I'm Lin Shuo's cousin. You can call me Yuerong." Qin Yuerong said.
"Okay, Yuerong, you are so sure that the person is still alive, did you see something in the water?" Miao Chengyun asked.
"How can I see it in the water?" Qin Yuerong said, "I just feel that she is still alive."
Miao Chengyun shook his hands when he heard it, and thought to himself, well, these two guys who almost became husband and wife, they talk about their virtues, and they are all deluded.
Lin Shuo spoke at this time: "The Qin family has the ability to distinguish water, just like our Lin family on land. They can detect and deduce what happened in the water. So the same thing, I said it with her." Say, the portions are different."
"Then where is the person now, Yuerong, do you have a specific feeling?" Miao Chengyun asked again.
"En." Qin Yuerong nodded, "In the underground river network, there is a large space where people can hide, and Lin Yingxue should be there. However, there are many things in the waterway leading to this space, and they are also very strong. They seem to be on patrol, I can't get through it alone, I need to wait for the time."
"Then when do we have to wait?" Miao Chengyun asked.
"Things in the water are not as sensitive to sunlight as the things on land, but they also have work and rest time. I think they are so active now, and they may calm down a little at night. I will go and have a look at that time."
"Oh, that's hard work." Miao Chengyun clasped his fists again, "Then hurry up and go ashore, the water is cold."
"You don't need to worry about me, the water here is much warmer than the East China Sea at this time of year, and I have never been to this water area before, and the dark rivers underneath are very interesting, I want to play for a while longer." Qin Yuerong After saying these words, he plunged into the water and disappeared.
Lin Shuo looked at the rippling river surface and shook his head: "After so many years, I'm still as playful as before."
"No, there is something in this river." Miao Chengyun said, "Don't hold back, the girl has disappeared, don't go back and pay a fiancée to go in."
"You are polite to her, but you are still the same to me." Lin Shuo rolled his eyes, "My wife is five years old, where else is my fiancée?"
"I'm sorry, the word is inappropriate. My childhood sweetheart is the boss." Miao Chengyun said, "You must know that all those who drowned can swim. No matter how good her water skills are, she can still be compared with sea monsters. You Let it go, what if something happens to someone?"
"Let me tell you this, she is stronger in the water than I am in the woods. She may not be able to defeat the sea monster, but she will never be hurt by the sea monster." Lin Shuo pointed to his brain, "The key is here."
"I'll be honest, I think her mind is just like that in the few conversations just now." Miao Chengyun said, "I have to lead her to say it sentence by sentence. It seems that she is no smarter than Lin Yingxue."
"That's not the same thing." Lin Shuo shook his head, "She lives in the water all year round and doesn't have much contact with people. So she is not very good at interacting with people. It doesn't mean that she is not smart, I am not as good as her when I recited texts and did arithmetic problems together when I was young."
"Oh, IQ is high but EQ is low." Miao Chengyun nodded, "Actually, you two, I think you are a good match, why didn't you get together later?"
"Didn't I tell you that we are too familiar with each other," Lin Shuo said.
"No." Miao Chengyun shook his head, "You can fool others but not me, because I have also experienced this kind of situation. If you have been together since childhood, it is true that there will be obstacles in the relationship between men and women, but you are not like this. Just like me and my junior sister, we lived together when we were young, and we separated because we went to different boarding schools when we were teenagers. Such a situation is actually more conducive to the cultivation of relationships. I don’t think you two are together. It's something else."
"No, why are you so gossip?" Lin Shuo was helpless.
"It's not waiting for anyone's news. I'll be idle when I'm idle." Miao Chengyun said with a smile, "I must figure this out today."
"She's in the water, and I'm on the shore." Lin Shuo said, "It's not a natural fit, why are they twisted together?"
"Pull it down. Men from the Lin family and women from the Qin family have been married since ancient times. There have been dozens if not hundreds of couples. Your grandma is a woman from the Qin family. Why don't you get along with me?" Miao Chengyun retorted. .
Lin Shuo looked at Miao Chengyun's confident expression, sucked his teeth and shook his head: "Okay, okay, I know you've already guessed it, don't set me up, just say it yourself."
Wei Xingshan was very surprised: "How did he guess it by himself?"
"This is the problem of vision." Miao Chengyun smiled, "You Wei Xingshan only focus on the matter of men and women, so naturally you can't guess it, you have to look up."
"Stop playing charades, tell me quickly." Wei Xingshan shouted.
"The Lin family was relatively weak at the time of Mr. Lin Chaodong. The position of the leader of the Lin family was in jeopardy, and the Liemen was facing turmoil." Miao Chengyun said, "And with the turmoil in the Liemen, the Huaxia practice circle is unstable. I don't want to see the situation, so Mr. Lin Chaodong must marry a woman from the Qin family, so that the marriage between Liemen and Haike Alliance will stabilize the situation.
As for Lin Shuo's generation, thanks to my uncle Lin's decades of hard work, the Lin family's status has been stabilized, and Lin Shuo's cousin is particularly vigorous in business, and the family has long been prosperous.
At this time, Lin Shuo, the only child of the Lin family, married Qin Yuerong, the jewel in the palm of the head of the Haike Alliance, what did that mean
This means that the sea and land in the Huaxia practice circle will be integrated, and the Lin family's business will be too big to control.
And these were the crises that Uncle Lin was aware of, so he didn't even need the people above to speak, and he himself rejected this marriage.
Although the old man Qin Xiangyang didn't read much, he was also a sensible person.
As a result, the marriage of the two families fell apart. Lin Shuo was still young at that time, so he lost his fiancée out of nowhere. "
After Miao Chengyun finished the analysis, he patted Lin Shuo on the shoulder: "However, from time to time, now, you, Lin Shuo, have many lice and many debts. Anyway, after ten years, everyone It depends on whether you can do it, then this little widow Qin Yuerong, if you marry, you will marry, it's not a big problem."
"It's a big problem." Lin Shuo rolled his eyes at Miao Chengyun, "I told you not to set me up, you're here again, aren't you?"
"That's right, that's right." Wei Xingshan said, "Don't mess around with Miao Chengyun, Lin Shuo and his family are already in a mess."
"That's right, I lost my daughter and haven't found it yet, so you should find a stepmother for Lin Yingxue first." Chu Hongyi shook his head, "Miao Chengyun, you are really outrageous."
"It's outrageous." Trorenzo also expressed his attitude in a rare way, "Your matter is too shameful, and I, an arms dealer, can't even do it."
"Okay, okay, you are all good people, I am the bad person, that's fine." Miao Chengyun pointed to his nose, "The scourge has lasted for thousands of years, I have to live, I am a patient who is hungry again now, Lin Shuo get me something to eat."
The chat on the river beach ended unhappily, the main reason was that Lin Yingxue's whereabouts were unknown and everyone was pretending to be relaxed.
Don't panic if you have food in your stomach, you haven't finished your lunch at noon, and you still have to eat now.
For the cooking place, Lin Shuo moved to the riverside. This is also the way he summed up before getting along with Qin Yuerong.
Whenever the two sides want to communicate, Lin Shuo must be on the shore.
The tapir, which was roasted at noon, weighed more than a hundred catties, hadn't been eaten yet, but when Lin Shuo handled it, the salt was heavy and it was a bit salty.
To make up for it at night, I got a pot to stew it, so that even the soup with water, the saltiness is just right.
Making a pottery pot was no problem for Lin Shuo. The clay was molded as soon as it was fired, and the disposable pot didn't have to be so particular, as long as it didn't leak.
So soon, a clay pot was set on the bonfire, and the meat in the pot was simmering, and everyone waited for the fire to start eating.
Lin Shuo has a habit when he goes out, he can make do with anything else, but he must bring a seasoning bag.
Although Lin Yingxue temporarily pulled him out of the house this time, he also took it with him at the time, but he didn't expect that the two things he brought out, the seasoning packet was almost used up, and the daughter disappeared.
It would be a lie to say that Lin Shuo wasn't panicking at all, but the more disturbed he is now, the more he has to calm down, eat and drink enough, adjust his state to the best, and wait for the news from the water.
There was almost enough meat in the pot, when a fish jumped out of the river.
The fish was also strange, jumping directly into the pot, Lin Shuo quickly reached out to catch it.
The fish is quite big, more than a foot long, and it must weigh more than ten catties. The key is fat, chubby and greasy.
But no matter how fatty the fish is, if it jumps directly into the pot, the soup will become fishy, so it needs to be dealt with.
Needless to say, the culprit of this matter is that beautiful lady in the water, who now showed her head on the river again, looking at Lin Shuo and laughing.
"I'm hungry." Qin Yuerong said in the water, "I'll go find your daughter when I'm full."
"I'll make it for you right now." Lin Shuo acted very quickly, first knocking out the fish whose name he didn't know, and then scooped out the soup to scald the fish skin.
This step is a key step to remove the mucus on the surface of the fish and remove the fishy smell.
Then disembowel and disembowel it cleanly, don’t worry about putting it into the soup pot, find a stone slab to set it up, smear it with tapir fat, and fry it first.
Fry until both sides are golden brown, then put the fish into the soup pot, and then add ingredients in the pot, rice wine, green onion, ginger, and pepper, otherwise the fishy smell will not be suppressed.
You need to add a little more salt. Unlike broth, the fish soup base has a slightly stronger taste, and a little sugar is added to enhance the freshness.
So this pot of broth became a pot of sea and land double fresh soup, and the things on the ground and the things in the water were stewed together.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the pot of soup was finished. Lin Shuo didn't care about others at the moment, but brought the whole clay pot to the riverside first, and asked Qin Yuerong to taste it.
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so it is right to ask someone to do errands to eat, and then this clay pot was carried directly to the bottom of the river by Qin Yuerong.
All the people on the shore looked dumbfounded.
Miao Chengyun took a sip: "How can I drink this soup?"
"Don't worry about it, people have their own way." Lin Shuo said lightly.
After about half an hour, the clay pot floated to the surface, and Qin Yuerong's face appeared beside the pot.
In terms of age, this woman is only half a year younger than Lin Shuo, and she is in her thirties, but the expression on her face is still the same as that of a seventeen or eighteen year old girl.
At this moment, the smile is very bright, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "It's delicious."
"Are you full?" Lin Shuo asked.
"full."
"It's good if you're full." Lin Shuo nodded, then clasped his fists together, "Then I'll have Cousin Lao run again."
Qin Yuerong shook her head: "I can't do it alone, I need someone to help."
"I'll go with you." Lin Shuo stood up, but Miao Chengyun raised his hand and grabbed his wrist.
"Why?" Lin Shuo didn't know why.
"You'd better not go." Miao Chengyun was quite serious at the moment, "I'm better at killing things like this."
"But you hurt..."
"I'm fine with my injury. Before, I was more or less acting. Now it's important." After Miao Chengyun finished speaking, he jumped directly into the water.
Qin Yuerong glanced at Lin Shuo, but didn't say anything, that beautiful face gradually sank into the water.
