Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 747 The Black Dog

Red Fish Village is the name of the fishing village where Gao Ge and Xie Zhuolian stay.

Actually, there is a story behind the fishing village’s name.

According to Cai, a tsunami happened many years ago and the surging waves were about to engulf the whole fishing village. At that moment, all the villagers were despairing because the waves struck them off guard. However, when the village was about to disappear from the world, there came a miracle.

A colossal red fish suddenly jumped out of the water and engulfed the waves with one bite. Then it returned to the sea, which saved the villagers from the disaster.

In memory of the big red fish, the fishing village was renamed as Red Fish Village.

There are not many residents in Red Fish Village, probably a few hundred people. The villagers live on fishing. Quite some boats are parked outside the fishing village.

Cai’s father is also a fisher but he hasn’t returned since he went fishing on the sea. Everyone knows what it means.

Yet, Cai is unwilling to accept the fact. She believes firmly that her father hasn’t died but got lost in the sea.

Gao Ge doesn’t comment on that.

It is good to hold hope but the reality is brutal.

Many people have persuaded Cai. They told her that she was no longer a kid and must accept reality.

Gao Ge disagrees with that.

Since the reality is relatively brutal, what’s bad about having hope as long as no one gets hurt?

Therefore, he dislikes those who persuade Cai into facing the reality. Cai doesn’t eat any food of theirs. On what ground can they force a girl to accept such a bitter fact?

Ge Chunrong is asked by Gao Ge to find a yacht.

This mission is not difficult for Ge Chunrong indeed.

Zhang Jian stays. He rarely talks. Neither does Gao Ge like chatting with him. Their conversation is so awkward. For example, when eating the noodles, Gao Ge asks Zhang Jian whether he has eaten anything. Zhang Jian answers, “Not yet. What about you?”

Gao Ge holding the bowl of noodles is lost for words.

Does Zhang Jian even need to ask about this?

Zhang Jian also knows that he is ineloquent so he tries to avoid talking with Gao Ge. Generally, he stays in the room. Only when Gao Ge and Xie Zhuolian need to ask him about anything, he will show up.

In general cases, he only cultivates in his room and looks very serious.

Cai does talk a lot.

Probably because she rarely meets strangers in the fishing village, she keeps asking Gao Ge and Xie Zhuolian about the things outside the village.

What confuses Gao Ge is that he hasn’t got to meet Cai’s mother by far. After inquiry, he knows that Cai’s mother died of difficult labor. Even now, the fishing village is short of medical facilities. When a pregnant woman is having a baby, she will need to turn to the midwife. If an accident happens, she is likely to die. Such cases are common not only in Red Fish Village but also in many places in Huaxia. The more remote the place is, the higher the probability of dying in childbirth will be.

Cai has started to rely on her efforts since three years ago. She makes money by selling fish for the villagers. Occasionally, she may go fishing on her own. She also cooks herself.

As a matter of fact, it is not that no one wants to bring up Cai but their offer has been turned down by her. In her eyes, if she agrees, she will be their son’s wife, which is not bad. Actually, she also believes that nothing is wrong with marrying a man in the fishing village and having a baby. The reason why she refuses the offer is that she hopes to marry the man she likes. She doesn’t want to get married for other reasons.

That is surprising enough for Gao Ge. Xie Zhuolian is also very supportive of Cai’s idea. Out of compassion, Xie Zhuolian has made up her mind. When the thing is over here, she will talk with Cai and strive to take Cai back to the Xie Family.

For the Xie Family, raising a girl is not a difficult thing.

Putting aside the Xie Family, Xie Zhuolian is also capable of that.

“Sister Xie, are you and Brother Gao a couple?” Cai suddenly asks.

Xie Zhuolian immediately blushes and hastens to shake her head, “No, we are only friends.”

“Oh!” Cai nods her head.

“By the way, Ge Chunrong told me that they had moved away. So, you didn’t live alone? Who else lived here with you before?”

“A dog of mine,” Cai says grinningly, “It is pretty awesome. It can catch fish!”

“Oh? A dog that can catch fish!” Gao Ge is also a bit surprised.

“Yes!”

“How about this? Cai, you live with me tonight. And you also bring the dog back, okay?” Xie Zhuolian says.

Cai is a bit happy to hear that at first but then she hastens to shake her head.

“Forget it. Brother Ge gave me 1,000 yuan! If I’ve taken the money and still live here, he will be disgruntled about it.”

“Rest assured. He won’t,” Gao Ge comforts her, “Besides, Zhuolian is a bit timid. If she stays in the room alone, she will be frightened.”

“Brother Gao, you can keep her company!” Cai says.

Gao Ge is lost for words.

This is too much!

Xie Zhuolian is also bashful. She pats Cai’s arm and snaps in a gentle voice, “What are you talking about? I’m a girl and he is a man. How can we sleep together?”

“Haha. Sister Xie, I mean Brother Gao can sleep on the ground! Well… Forget it. I’ll move back!” Cai says with a grin.

Xie Zhuolian glares at her and then whispers to Cai, “He has a girlfriend. You can’t talk nonsense.”

“Oh!” Cai also puts on a regretful look.

Obviously, she understands what Xie Zhuolian said. After all, she has lived on herself since she was a kid. Surely, she knows much more than her peers. Even the common peers should know the distinction between males and females. She only wants to get Gao Ge and Xie Zhuolian together.

Xie Zhuolian has also seen that through so she specially explained a bit more to dispel Cai’s thought.

Shortly, Cai returns with a dark black dog, which doesn’t look big. However, when Gao Ge sees it, he gives a surprised look.

“Erk?”

“What’s wrong?” Xie Zhuolian hastens to ask.

After asking that, she also realizes something and then whispers to Gao Ge, “This dog seems to be a rare beast?”

Gao Ge nods his head, “Yet, it is only at the realm of Qi condensing. I was wondering why a dog could catch fish. So that explains it.”

The black dog also stares at Gao Ge and Xie Zhuolian with a vigilant look, seeming to realize that they are very dangerous.

“Hei, come here!” Cai waves her hand and then the black dog runs to her while wagging its tail.
