Heroes in the Three Kingdoms - C286

Guan Hai’s last sentence caught my attention. I stared at Guan Hai and asked, “Rumors? What rumor? “General Guan, quickly tell us!” “Hahaha!” Guan Hai smiled bitterly and said: “Nothing much! The words of the market outside could no longer be trusted! However, my lord, men are the heavens, and women are forever ruled by men! Look at this. From ancient times until now, how many people had a single wife? It was always a man’s decision. No matter what a man did, a woman could only swallow her anger! To the people of our big men, you are a great hero! You can’t be a joke on this matter!

“Oh!” How could Guan Hai know that it would be the opposite if he insisted on coming out of anger? Moreover, it’s because I truly loved her and was extremely afraid of losing her, that’s why I endured and doted on her time and time again. With the word ‘love’, no matter how amazing a hero was in front of it, he would still die from anger! But I remembered Guan Hai’s words, “Xiao Ying doesn’t want me to meet Cheng Er, it’s just as the rumors say” in my heart. I want to go to the market to hear what the rumors are about! By the way, I’d also like to know how the population responded to the drought, and whether any of the people could come up with a good way to deal with it.

After making up my mind, I dressed up as a fisherman and went to the market. The faces of the people at the fair were clouded, obviously worried about the drought. Furthermore, the market was no longer as lively as it used to be.

I walked over to a tavern where two fishermen were drinking with each other. Fisherman A shouted, “Bastard! The river dried up and the fish were exposed. People could take the fish as they pleased. So what if we beat the fish? No one wanted it! How infuriating! Moreover, it was now difficult to find some live fish. The water was gone, where could he find any fish! I really don’t know what we should do in the future. ”

Fisherman B said, “Brother, don’t worry! It will rain! Even if it wasn’t raining, the Yu River wouldn’t be completely dried up! No one buys fish right now. If worse comes to worst, we can just rest first. It’s rare to find a place to rest! ” Fisherman raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped his mouth and cheeks and said, “Other than this, what else can we do? “Sigh!” Fisherman B sighed helplessly.

“Have you heard a rumor?” Fisherman B hastily asked, “Brother, what is the rumor?” The fisherman looked around nervously, but found it hard to keep his mouth shut when he saw a lot of people around. The two of them had some misgivings, so they could only drink again.

I have seen everything about the two of them, and now I am interested in them. I went up to the two of them and said, “My two brothers, may I have a drink with you?” Fisherman A and Fisherman B saw that I was also dressed like a fisherman, so they went with me and said happily, “Great!” I sat down.

Fisherman A and B studied me closely. Fisherman B asked, “Brother, where are you fishing? Why haven’t we seen you before! ” I smiled and said, “I was fishing on the other side of Yu Lin, and seeing that there was a drought, I was unable to do business. Since one of my brothers has settled down here, I brought my boat and family here to play with you for the time being.” Oh! “So that’s how it is!” The two of them no longer doubted him.

I raised my glass to the two of them and said, “Here! Upon entering the table, it’s my honor to serve you! ” I finished my drink in one gulp, and the two of them raised their heads to drink. After I toasted the two of them, I sighed and said, “I wonder when it will rain. Sigh! “If the river dries up, I’m afraid the boat won’t be able to make it anymore. What should we do when we rely on it to survive?”

Fisherman A smiled and said, “We fishermen should at least die from hunger when it comes to drought! No matter what, Yu Jiang couldn’t possibly be exhausted! “At least we still have some water to drink. As long as there are fish in the river, we can call for food. Even if we don’t have any food to eat, eating fish alone won’t kill us!” I looked at Fisherman A and said, “That’s just a way to comfort yourself! It had never rained, and the amount of water had always been low. The fish would always be there, too, until there was no rain! Furthermore, the government was continuously sending water to places where it was difficult to drink. If this went on, who would dare say that the Yu River wouldn’t wither? ”

“Ai!” Actually, that’s what Fisherman A and B are most afraid of. I drank another glass of wine with the two of them and asked, “What do you two think of this? So you’re saying that there’s a good way to overcome this difficulty? ” They sighed, and their expressions told me that there was nothing they could do.

After drinking a cup, Fisherman said, “Even a great hero like Lord Fan can’t do anything about it, what can we do about it? However, according to the rumors, when the Lord Fan paid respects to Emperor Shun in the past in the Cangwu County, it displayed all sorts of auspicious signs. Furthermore, Long Mu had even sent a dragon to welcome the Lord Fan! If the Lord Fan prayed that the sky would rain, Long Mu might even send dragons to rain! I wonder why the Lord Fan did not do this? Many people are complaining about this! ”

These were all things that Chen Zhi had deliberately borrowed from the heavens to gather people’s hearts. They were all part of his plans, and were all intangible things. I smiled bitterly. “Is there no other way?”

The two of them shook their heads, indicating that there was no other way. Fisherman took advantage of the alcohol smell and said, “However, as the Lord Fan did not pray for rain, another rumor spread out. Note: The Lord Fan used to lie when they were bestowed with the Mandate of Heaven by Emperor Shun and Long Mu! There was another rumor saying that the actions of the Lord Fan had already disappointed Elder Shun! Emperor Shun wanted to find another person to replace the Lord Fan and seek for the well-being of the people! ” Fisherman A quietly reminded him, “Lower your voice!” Don’t let anyone hear you! Otherwise, we might end up getting our heads chopped off! ” When I heard this, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. I really didn’t think that rumors would arise and that my prestige would be seriously challenged.

I saw that Fisherman A and B had some scruples, so I laughed heartily and said, “You two, there is no one who will not hear what we have to say now! With a confidant in front of him, he would say whatever he wanted to say! “Could it be that you two do not consider me your friend?” When I said this, my face went stiff and I looked extremely unhappy.

Fisherman A and B laughed and said, “No! No! Haha! Why don’t we treat you as a friend? Haha! “Let’s drink!” The two of them said that Kiki raised her glass towards me, and we clinked our glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

I looked at the two of them, and knew that although the two of them were worried about the drought, they could not provide me with any good idea, so I thought about Guan Hai’s words: “Xiao Ying did not let me see Cheng Er, it was just as the rumors say”, I just wanted to know what kind of rumors were going on. I raised my glass again and grinned. “I’m so happy to meet you two today! This little brother will pay for this meal! Come! Another toast! ” Fisherman A and Fisherman B were less wary of my generosity, so they had another drink with me.

I looked at the wine glass in my hand and said, “Can I inquire about something from you two?” Fisherman A’s kindness to me greatly increased so he grinned and said, “Brother, if you need any help from me, feel free to tell me!” Fisherman Yi saw that Fisherman A had expressed his stance, so he did not make an exception. We both fish for a living, moreover we can chat so much, if you have any difficulties just say so! ”

I smiled and asked, “I heard that Lord Fan’s wife doesn’t allow Lord Fan to go see the Second Young Master, and there’s a rumor circulating in the market. What kind of rumor is this?” “Shh!” Fisherman A put his index finger to his lips, and Fisherman B looked as serious as Fisherman A. They had never expected me to ask such a question.

Fisherman A stared at me and asked, “Brother, why are you asking this?” And Fisherman B looks at me. ” “Hahaha!” After a dry laugh, I said, “I’m just interested! For example, the relationship between the Lord Fan and Madam is as firm as a rock. Fisherman A and B asked again, “Is that really all?” “Hm!” I nodded.

Fisherman A and B looked at each other for a moment. Then, Fisherman Yi and A came close to me at the same time. Fisherman Yi whispered to him, “Rumor has it that the son of the Madam, the Second Young Noble, is not the biological son of Lord Fan!” “What!?” My eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I heard this. My left hand pinched the wine cup to pieces. My right hand originally held a pair of chopsticks, but it also crushed the chopsticks into pieces.

My mind raced. “Impossible! Impossible! Cheng Er is my biological son! It’s my own! Cheng Er is bleeding from me! Xiao Ying is loyal and unswerving to me! ” Even though this is the rumour, I am still unable to win against you. I still firmly believe that Cheng Er is my biological son!

Fisherman A and B were surprised to see me lose my composure, and my loud scream attracted the attention of the people in the tavern. They also focused their attention on me. Fisherman A and Fisherman B were even more terrified.
