Chapter 235 Three Days in the Sky
The sky was gloomy, and the rain was swaying.
The boat was swaying with the waves, Liang Qu stood at the bow, his hair flying with the river wind.
Looking around, there were densely packed big fish jumping on the water, and occasionally a few big crocodiles.
With the rush of water beasts and porpoises, the size of the entire fish school continued to expand, extending far away with the naked eye.
Small fish, big fish, giant crocodiles, whether carnivorous or herbivorous, all gathered together harmoniously at this moment, stirring up endless waves.
If there really was a water god in the world, it would look like this, right?
Liang Qu was full of vigor and vitality.
It was a pity that beasts were beasts after all, and their brain capacity was limited.
The tens of thousands of big fish in front of him could not understand the complex instructions that required subjective initiative.
They could not find objects, explore, or send messages.
And once they left the sight, they were easy to "rebel", and they would be lost and could not be found at all.
They were suitable to be used as cannon fodder.
In addition to the ability to control ordinary water beasts, Liang Qu repeatedly tested in the water and discovered the second ability of the Golden Eyes - night vision.
Today is cloudy, the light is not good, and the bottom of the water below more than 100 meters is pitch black.
But he has no visual obstacles and can still see underwater, just like during the day.
Liang Qu's underwater perception has a radius of 130 meters, and he has a keen insight. It is not very useful, but it is in great demand on the shore and is very useful.
The school of fish surged around the barge, raising a large piece of white foam.
Looking at the school of water beasts that followed the ups and downs, Liang Qu waved his hand and asked the fat catfish to stop driving them away.
The number of subdued beasts reached 30,000, but he still did not feel any physical burden. His physical strength and spirit were excellent, which was enough to prove that the Golden Eyes really had no consumption. It would be a waste of effort to continue the experiment. It was unnecessary.
It was a pity that even if a fish was sold for three or four copper coins, the huge number of more than 30,000 big fish would cost nearly 100 taels of silver.
One hundred taels of fish were harvested in one hour, which was almost equal to the output value of all the fishermen in Yixing Town for two days!
But there was no way to sell it.
Liang Qu wanted to disperse the fish school, but his eyes suddenly fixed.
Among tens of thousands of fish facing him, two big fish with different body shapes from ordinary fish, swimming around, were particularly conspicuous.
A golden rainbow trout and a red blood perch were driven into the fish school by several water beasts at some point.
"Fishing in troubled waters... just filling the numbers?"
Liang Qu couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it for a while. The shadow of the white ape flashed behind him, and the vast pressure crushed him. The fish, which was squeezed by the fish school and ran around like a headless fly, froze all over.
The tentacles of the water flow emerged from the side, passed through the gill cover of the treasure fish and lifted it to the boat.
Liang Qu threw out the blue wolf, and the water flow wrapped around the handle of the knife, and he cut open the two fish with a little unfamiliarity.
In recent days, he has been practicing the manipulation of water flow in the vortex, and now he can complete many more complex actions, such as cutting fish with a knife.
The golden eyes converged, and the fish disappeared.
Liangqu fed the offal and bones to the beasts, and stuffed the processed fish meat into the fish basket.
Tonight, I will make a fish casserole porridge to eat light.
Always big fish and meat, greasy.
…
The clumps of reeds are lush and green, and fishing boats are coming and going on the open river bank, a busy scene.
Pedestrians are coming and going on the bluestone street. When Liangqu returned to Yixing Town and walked to a certain section, he found that the crowd became dense. At first, he thought that a store was opening, but he heard a gong.
Going in, he found that there were two clerks in the crowd, one beating the gong and the other posting notices. The gong beater shouted once every time he beat the gong.
"From July 6, a curfew will be implemented from 7:30 pm to 7:30 pm, for a period of one month! I hope you will tell your relatives and friends if you hear this. Don't wander around and miss the time, otherwise you will be arrested and thrown into prison and you can't blame others!"
"July 6, curfew..."
Passersby are used to it.
There is a curfew from the end of June to the beginning of July every year, and no one thinks there is anything wrong.
"It's going to be the hottest time of the year, I don't know how hot it will be this year."
"Time flies, another year has passed."

"I wonder how many there will be this year?"
"Two, usually two."
"I saw three when I was a child!"
"I remember there was one time, that guy, salted fish dried in one day."
"Three days are rare, I heard that it only happens once every 20 to 30 years, basically two."
Is there going to be a curfew?
Liang Qu, who was standing outside the crowd, had a flash of light in his eyes.
Count the days.
It's less than half a month away from July 6, it's really almost time.
I wonder if it's really as magical as it's recorded in the book?
Studying the seasons is a "compulsory course" for initiation in the academy, so Liang Qu had naturally learned it.
The entire twenty-four solar terms are almost the same as what he is familiar with, except that there is a special red cinnabar mark around the Great Heat - Bing Fire.
When Bing Fire is running, the three stars are flooded.
At first glance, it was incomprehensible, but later Liang Qu flipped through the classics and found an amazing phenomenon in it.
Every year around the Great Heat, more than one sun will appear in the sky!
Most of the time, there are two, and in a cycle of every twenty-three to twenty-five years, a third one will appear!
The Great Heat is the middle of the three hottest days, the hottest period of the year.
Because there is more than one sun, of course it is the hottest.
The cognition that people all over the world are accustomed to is very incredible to Liang Qu.
Two can still be understood, but how can three celestial bodies form a stable system to form a binary star circulation system?
Besides, Binghuo days do not appear throughout the year. They only appear a few days before and after the Great Heat, and the number of days that appear does not exceed half a month.
If it is in the sky for two or even three days, everything will become impetuous and aggressive, and many creatures will break into people's homes to escape the heat and avoid disasters.
Not only animals, but also people will be impulsive and irritable, and fights often occur. This is how the curfew was born to prevent people from making trouble.
Whether it is true or not, you need to see it with your own eyes.
Liang Qu wrote down the curfew time and hurried home. Just as he brought the fish basket into the kitchen, there were bursts of dog barking in the garden, with baby voices.
"Wu Long? Is there someone at home?"
If it was an acquaintance, Wu Long would never bark randomly.
By the pond, Fan Xinglai and Aunt Zhang were standing aside to watch the strangeness. Wu Long kept running and barking along the pond, obviously seeing something.
Liang Qu was surprised: "A Fan, what's going on?"
Fan Xinglai turned back when he heard the sound and pointed to the other side of the pond.
"Something came into the pond, as if it came out of the underground river, brought a few pieces of wood, and then disappeared again.
Wu Long was the first to discover it. We heard it barking all the time, so we came to see if there was a thief."
Liang Qu looked in the direction that Fan Xinglai pointed, and found that a pile of wood had appeared by the pond, neatly stacked on the shore.
There was definitely no such thing before.
"Did you see what it was?"
"No, I only saw a black shadow, like a big rat, with a butt as big as a pig!"
Fan Xinglai described it vividly and excitedly, while Aunt Zhang was worried.
"Okay, I got it. You guys go and get busy. I'll watch over here."
Liang Qu calmly asked the two to leave, and called Wu Long to stop it from barking.
When the pond was completely quiet, he looked at the old giant clam that was motionless at the bottom of the water.
"Old Bei, what's the matter with the big rat?"
The old giant clam, disguised as a stone, opened its shell and spit out a series of bubbles.
"Your family has attracted beavers."
