Chapter 568 The first effect
A bonfire, a pot of fish soup, and a young man reading a book by the bonfire.

This is what Zhou Zhengtang saw when he woke up.

Gao Xing picked up a bowl and took a bowl of fish soup from the pot and handed it to Zhou Zhengtang, "Wake up, drink a bowl of soup to warm your body first, it's just summer, and the riverside is humid, so don't catch the wind and cold .”

Zhou Zhengtang took the fish soup, drank a couple of sips, recalled the past in his mind, and fell silent for a while.

After silently finishing the fish soup, Zhou Zhengtang handed the bowl back to Gao Xing, and thanked him in a voice like a mosquito.

Zhou Zhengtang looked at Gao Xing flipping through the scrolls, looking contented, and suddenly felt envious.

In fact, one's life does not necessarily have to pursue fame and fortune, a simple and peaceful life is actually possible.

"Brother, can you teach me how to fish?" Zhou Zhengtang asked.

This is a very rude request. If the other party saves you and doesn't say anything, you still want to find a way for the other party to eat. If you are someone else, you will definitely get angry.

Gao Xing asked: "Young master, why do you have such an idea?"

Zhou Zhengtang said indifferently: "I can't enter the Haoran Mansion, and I don't have the mind to go back to my hometown. Seeing you live a comfortable life, little brother, I feel yearning."

Gao Xing smiled, "Look at me like this. I have eaten my last meal and never stopped. Apart from a small boat, I don't even have a place to rest. What else is there to look forward to?"

Zhou Zhengtang remained silent, still staring at Gao Xing.

Gao Xing finally nodded slowly, agreeing to Zhou Zhengtang's request.

From the next day, Gao Xing took Zhou Zhengtang to live fishing in Tongtian River.

"That's not how you cast a net. If you can't cast the net, how many fish can you catch?"

"Hey, how can I live by fishing alone, and sometimes I still have to chop firewood to do things."

"Not all of these books were bought. When I was punting people across the boat, some scholars couldn't pay the boat fare, so I took one or two books from them as a reward."

April passed by quickly, and the weather gradually entered autumn. Zhou Zhengtang also had a dark skin after fishing and working every day.

Gao Xing did not expect that although Zhou Zhengtang was a bit hesitant at the beginning, he really persisted in the end.

After Zhou Zhengtang went through the initial hard work, his nature of a scholar made him habitually summarize himself.

He can always find the best place to cast his net, and he can always find the easiest way to do things. When selling fish in the market town, he also finds the merchant with the highest bid to sell it.

His hands are now rough and callused due to work, and he has been dealing with fish in the water for a long time, even if he washes it frequently, there will be a faint fishy smell.

But he became more and more contented.

After leaving behind everything in the past, he realized that just reading books is not very meaningful.

He used to read from books that fishermen catch fish from rivers and sell them for a lot of money.

In the book, this is just a record. In a word, he can't understand the difficulties in it at all, and he doesn't know the process.

But now, he understands that it is not easy for fishermen to fish. They need to find the right weather, the right location, the method of casting the net, what fish is more valuable, how to make the caught fish live longer, and how to sell them. Negotiate prices with merchants.

All of this is knowledge.

Compared with the past where he only wrote articles in private schools with many classmates every day, he feels that what he has learned now can be used for a lifetime.

He told Gao Xing about his feelings, Gao Xing smiled, and said to Zhou Zhengtang: "Isn't this the unity of knowledge and action? Knowing one thing doesn't mean you can actually use it. Only by truly practicing this principle can one fully obtain this knowledge."

Zhou Zhengtang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately he couldn't help but feel some admiration for Gao Xing.

Although the other party was a fisherman, he was diligent and eager to learn, and he was able to say such reasonable words. To a certain extent, wouldn't he be much better than a guy who had studied for more than ten years.

Letting go of the last sliver of arrogance of a scholar in his heart, a smile bloomed on Zhou Zhengtang's face.

He felt he understood a little bit.

"Mr. Gao, I have troubled you for a while." Zhou Zhengtang said.

Gao Xing laughed and said, "Young Master Zhou, have you figured it out?"

"Oh, I made Mr. laugh."

Watching Zhou Zhengtang's leaving figure, Gao Xing narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

This time, Gao Xing did not use any extraordinary means at all. He only led Zhou Zhengtang to fish for four months. Gao Xing did not even say anything to persuade him, but Zhou Zhengtang's star lit up like this.

When he left, he secretly left Gao Xing some money he had accumulated from fishing recently, and Gao Xing never stopped him.

Zhou Zhengtang is indeed a man of great fortune.

After going through such a thing, he will be more pragmatic than those students who entered the Haoran Mansion for further study.

When the opportunity comes in the future, he will be able to soar into the sky, cast off the old scales on his body, and transform into a real dragon.

Gao Xing picked up the fish basket and tipped it down. Apart from a few fish, there were also two pieces of broken silver.

A few small fish were picked up by Gao Xing and thrown into the river, while the broken silver was collected by Gao Xing. This star was lighted up too easily, which surprised Gao Xing.

Among the few small fish he threw into the water, there was a carp with a reddish back. Although it was thrown into the water by Gao Xing, it was different from the rest of the fish and fled in all directions. It jumped up several times and circled in the water After a few laps, he left slowly.

This is a fish with a little wisdom.

Being arrested this time was a calamity that was destined for it. After this calamity, it was a certainty that it would awaken the seal in the future.

Gao Xing understood in his heart that his path had gradually become established.

The current him is a walking machine of good fortune, but anyone who contacts him and forms a good relationship will definitely gain something.

Shrinking the fishing boat into his cuffs, Gao Xing walked away from the bank of Tongtian River.

A fisherman rubbed his eyes, and said with some doubts: "I saw it before, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye? Weird thing"

Leaving Tongtian River, Gao Xing walked straight all the way, and before he knew it, he came to an unnamed mountain forest.

There are few people around this mountain forest, but there are many tigers, leopards and wolves in the mountains. Gao Xing has been attacked by wild beasts more than ten times along the way.

While walking, Gao Xing came to the edge of a temple.

Naturally, no one will deliberately build a temple in this deep mountain and old forest, so Gao Xing already understood that this is a strange place without even thinking about it.

At this time, it was getting late, and Gao Xing did not intend to continue walking any longer. Although this place was a weird place, it was not bad for resting.

He entered the temple, glanced at the weird mountain god enshrined in the temple, and said, "I'm tired from the journey, so I'll take this precious place to rest for a night, please don't blame me."

When the etiquette arrived, Gao Xing found a place to lie down, ready to rest.

The eyes of the clay sculpture of the mountain god rolled slightly, looking at Gao Xing who was lying below, wondering what he was thinking.
