Chapter 287: The shore surrounds the great lake
The wind blew the lotus, and ripples appeared.
"Are you the owner of this house?"
The old toad half squatted in the pond, soaking half of his body, and the fat catfish waited beside him, with eyes full of scrutiny.
Liang Qu stood on the pier and bowed.
"The frog tribe is the owner of this house."
"Quack, um, cough! Good!"
These words tickled the old toad's itch, and he almost quacked.
He coughed twice, and his original scrutiny turned into restrained eyes, but he had not yet fully trusted, and there was still a little bit of vigilance.
The human race is despicable, cunning, and greedy!
The frog tribe is simple, hardworking, and kind!

Don't let your guard down for a moment, and remember at any time...
"Ah..."
A sigh interrupted the old toad's train of thought, and it couldn't help asking: "Why sigh?"
"I saw that footless frog, and I thought it was a strange frog in the world, a beautiful frog, but I never thought..."
The old toad asked: "What didn't you think?"
Liang Qu brushed his sleeves and bowed again.
"I never thought I would meet the elder today, as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun. As long-lived as the Nanshan Mountain, it will never collapse. As luxuriant as pine and cypress, you will inherit everything!
Among all the frogs, it is like a pearl among tiles and stones, and the footless frog is not half as good as the elder!"
Hiss!
The old toad leaned back slightly, and a huge wave rose in his heart.
This man actually saw through me at a glance!
At this moment, it felt that it had nowhere to hide under Liang Qu's gaze.
It was like a river clam shedding its shell and exposing itself to the sun. The feeling of being poked in the softest part of the heart made people feel ashamed and guilty.
No wonder the human race is the spirit of all things.
But it's not over yet!
Liang Qu continued to chant.
"Dignified Frog, the dragon among frogs!"
The old toad widened his eyes.
The dragon among frogs!
There is actually such an appropriate word in the world to describe it?
That's right, the only one who can inherit the glory of the real dragon is Frog Taigong!
"With the talent of assisting the king, I met a master who never appeared in the world!"
Right!
That's right!
When I met the king, wasn't it the master who never appeared in the world?
"With the knowledge of heaven and man, you can satisfy the expectations of the world."
The old toad thought of the books in his home.
There is no frog in the entire frog family who is more knowledgeable than him!
"With the capacity to expand the universe, you can accomplish the affairs of the world."
He can even tolerate stupid frogs like Big Fat and Second Fat. His tolerance is unparalleled!
"If you have a firm character like gold and stone, you can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world."
Live in the Dragon Palace and enjoy the beauty of frogs.
My ambition has never changed!
Comparable to gold and stone!
"The one who shines brightly in the world is the frog."
After a fierce bombardment, the old toad could no longer bear it and stood up suddenly.
It moved its frog legs and came to the front, holding Liang Qu's hands tightly with a pair of claws.
"Sir, you understand my heart! You understand my ambition! I never thought that the one who understands me the most is not a frog, but a human!"
After all, I have become the person I hate.
Liang Qu sighed in his heart and looked at the frog. Pah, the old toad: "Elder, don't worry about it. Right and wrong will be judged by the frogs later.
The evil dragon under the water is just a traitor, a chicken and a dog. Killing the dragon and living in the Dragon Palace is the policy of the frog tribe for a hundred years!
It's a pity..."
"What a pity?"
"The elder has a policy but no plan!"
The old toad humbly asked: "What is the plan?"
"Surround the lake from the shore!"
"Surround the lake from the shore?"
"That's right. If you want to kill the dragon, you must accumulate food and build a high wall to slowly become the king!
The forces under the water are complicated. Apart from the frog tribe, there are probably countless demon kings, right?"
The old toad nodded.
"For this, we must look beyond the water and marshes! Seek external help!"
"Land?"
"The elder really has the talent to govern the world!"
"Surround the marshes on the shore, surround the marshes on the shore..."
The old toad muttered to himself, as if a bright road had opened up in front of him, but he was still confused about how to do it.
"What should I do?"
Seeing the old toad following his conversation rhythm bit by bit, Liang Qu opened his five fingers and pinched them hard.
"Spend money!"
"Spend money?"
The old toad seemed familiar, as if he had had the same conversation somewhere before.
Looking back, he saw the treasure fish in the arms of the big beaver.
Oh, yes.
Didn't he come here to give money?
Why did he have to pay again?
"Because it's not enough!"
"Not enough?"
Liang Qu sighed: "Frog has lived in the marshes for a long time, and he doesn't know the sufferings of the common people. Don't you see that the small pond is only one acre in size, but it is actually of great value. Have you heard of the 'special zone'?"
The old toad shook his head.
"The so-called special zone is a place designated by the court for key development. Frog, don't you know that this small Pingyang County was just a Pingyang Town in the past!"
"Oh?" The old toad was surprised, "Is this true?"
Although it rarely goes to shore, it often searches for human classics and knows that such a situation is quite rare.
"That's right, it will not only become Pingyang County, but also Pingyang Prefecture in the future in just a few years. That's why the land price here is rising every day! That mere acre of land may cost tens of thousands of taels of silver in the future!"
"Tens of thousands of taels of silver...how much?"
The frog tribe barters and has never known the value of gold and silver.
"The precious fish and black tortoise shells brought by the elders are only worth a thousand taels of silver."
The prices are so high?
The old toad was shocked.
I have more than a hundred treasure fish, only worth more than 100,000 taels of silver?
"Elder, don't worry, Pingyang County has not yet become Pingyang Prefecture, and the land price is not that high for the time being, but if you want to expand, one fish may not be enough."
"How much more?"
Liang Qu stretched out two fingers.
The old toad's eyes widened: "You want one more?"
Liang Qu was stunned and looked down at his fingers, thinking he had amputated his limbs some time ago.
He is truly a master at pretending to be confused.
Liang Qu pretended to grit his teeth: "At least two more! For the rest, Yu Xin wants to borrow another acre of land from the Shui Tribe, even if it means borrowing a loan shark!"
The old toad's face was tangled, and for a long time, it seemed as if its energy had been drained away.
…
Beside the pond, three treasure fish were held in the arms of the beaver family.
Liang Qu and the old toad talked to each other.
As time passed to evening, one person and one frog parted ways.
"Huh, it's not easy to get two precious fish."
Liang Qu wiped the sweat from his forehead and chatted with the old toad for a while, feeling exhausted. Fortunately, he read a book every day and wrote down a few complimentary words.
People cannot help but read.
Fortunately, it has been fruitful.
Liang Qu came to the pond, picked up the black turtle shell with cracks on the ground, and touched the symmetrical cracks on the left and right.
"Old Bei, what do you think? Is this thing really accurate?"
"The black turtle shell is probably accurate. This is a strange species in the water. It is similar to a treasure fish. It is a natural creature with the ability to seek good luck and avoid evil. It is extremely difficult to catch unless you encounter a strange species with stronger luck."
The old toad shouted that the hexagram was wrong.
Lao Tridacna actually thinks that the hexagram is correct.
It will be a bit unlucky in the near future.
"Better luck?" Liang Qu recalled the appearance of the old toad. It seemed to be different from ordinary toads. It was not that ugly and the whole appearance was very rich. "Could it be that the old toad is some kind of special species?"
"The Multi-treasure Toad is a strange species among frogs. It has the ability to hunt for treasures and objects, and has a long lifespan. However, the Multi-treasure Toad that turns into a monster is really rare. I am afraid that there is only one of it in the entire Jianghuai River, and it is difficult to find it anywhere in the world."
Toad?
Liang Qu was shocked. He had underestimated the old toad. No wonder he took out three big treasure fish, and none of them were like the red blood bass he usually ate. He estimated that there were thousands of water essences.
That old guy is so cute, he must have a lot of good things at home, like treasure fish, how come there are more than a dozen of them, right?
"No matter what, let's divide the fish first!"
Liang Qu buried the turtle shell in the pond and let it repair itself. Then he took out the three big treasure fish and called for the river otter and the beaver.
All the extras are present today.
However, Liang Qu is not without cost. This time he agreed to the old toad and asked someone to come over to expand the pond another day.
A few dozen taels should be enough, and a hundred taels can help build a rockery and let the craftsmen carve a more comfortable seat for the old toad.
A small pond is getting lively.
There are raccoons, otters, frogs and clams...
Under the sunset.
The water is sparkling and the lotus leaves are floating.
Ah Wei sucked up the blood of the treasure fish, while Liang Qu dug out the internal organs and grilled the fish on the iron net, holding up tongs in his fist to help turn it over.
Beavers and river otters were holding plates by the pond, lining up to get their share of treasure fish, and happily ran to the side to eat.
The ones who didn't come were given a round head that couldn't be moved, and several large pieces of meat, fish bones and internal organs were divided into fists. The fat catfish had three big fish heads alone.
The remaining three pieces were the fattest, accounting for almost half of the fish body, and all belonged to Liang Qu.
The belly of the fish goes into the belly.
