Chapter 377: Capture the big snake together!
Underground estuary.
The otter throws wood into the river, and the big beaver grabs the wood and drags it into the hole, through the underground river, and piles it all into the pond.
While the two families were busy, Liang Qu went ashore to go home by himself. He passed by Chen's house. The door outside was open, and five or six laborers came in and out. Some even pushed a wheelbarrow filled with green bricks.
It fell down, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.
Chen Qingjiang rolled up his sleeves and helped with the work. When he saw Liang Qu looking at the door, he wiped his hands on his trouser legs and said sheepishly: "The house is in chaos now, and there is no place to stay."
"It's okay, Uncle Chen, are you going to repair the house?"
Chen Qingjiang nodded: "It's getting cold now. The donkey in the thatched shed is shivering with cold every day. I'm thinking of building a hut for it. Adi said it's better to invite people to build two more huts to expand the house. When the children grow up, Have a place to live.
I think it makes sense. Work is cheap in winter. I went to find someone to do the work this morning. Did I bother you? "
"It's okay, uncle, I happened to be passing by, come in and take a look."
Liang Qu waved his hand.
Ordinary fishermen rely on the weather for their livelihood, and skills, seasonality, and luck all have an impact.
However, Chen Qingjiang and his crew do not rely on the weather to catch fish every day, but on the two finless porpoises under Yuan Tou's hands that catch fish every night.
Even though there are less fish in winter, the fish sold are about the same as in summer because of the price increase.
Therefore, the daily income is about two taels of silver. In a month, I can earn at least 4 to 5 taels of silver, or several dozen taels of silver in a year. It is a stable earning without losing money.
Liang Qu also gave a lot of the treasure fish that Chen Qingjiang caught during the New Year last year.
When the two are superimposed, Chen Qingjiang may have a hundred taels of silver in his hand, so he should live better.
Seeing Liang Qu leave, the laborers were in awe of Chen Qingjiang.
Unexpectedly, after Liang Qu reached this stage, Chen Qingjiang could still be regarded as an uncle and nephew.
He keeps silent on weekdays and is really indifferent.
…
A few more days passed.
Longpingjiang, Longpinghe came to say goodbye.
They are going back to the depths of Daze to celebrate the New Year. Once they leave, they won't be able to come back within half a month.
Liang Qu was curious: "You dragon people also celebrate the Spring Festival?"
"Returning to Mr. Longjun, the dragon people also celebrate the Spring Festival, but they don't set off firecrackers. They are not as lively as the human race. The elders of the tribe had also made a decision before our departure. Regardless of whether we find Mr. Long or not, the Spring Festival will be celebrated. Return to the tribe and report the search situation."
Liang Qu denied it.
"I'm not Dragon Lord."
"I understand, you are not Dragon Lord."
Long Pinghe, Long Pingjiang nodded repeatedly.
Liang Qu was silent for a long time: "How many people from your clan sent to find the reincarnated Dragon Lord?"
"Counting us two brothers, there are a total of sixty teams, a total of one hundred and twenty people coming to the south bank to find you... ahem, to find the reincarnated Dragon Lord."
"One hundred and twenty people, all of them are smoke masters?"
"That's right. Our two brothers are only in the middle of the pack."
Liang Qu was very moved when he heard this.
One hundred and twenty Lang Yan, this number is more than those in Pingyang County right now!
When combined, a rather exaggerated force can be unleashed in Huaiyin Prefecture, capable of sweeping across almost all counties except Huaiyin Prefecture and Pingyang County!
Long Pingjiang roughly guessed what Liang Qu was thinking, and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, dragons are different from humans. We have dragon blood and are naturally strong. We can practice much faster than humans."
"No constraints?"
"Yes, not only yes, there are quite a lot of constraints. The distribution of dragon meridians is roughly the same as that of humans, but there are some differences after all. If many human skills are used rashly, there will be great risks.
And after reaching the limit of the bloodline, it is much more difficult for the dragon people to move up than the human race. Since the death of the true dragon, our race has rarely given birth to masters and masters based on practice alone, and there are only a few records. "
"The limit of bloodline?"
"Your Excellency, you can understand the theory of bloodline. The closer you are to the Dragon King on the family tree, the higher the limit. If you intermarry with the human race, you will be separated by more than two generations at once.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you intermarry with others, the constraints of the bloodline limit will also be reduced, and you can also avoid incest deformities. After all, the number of dragons is limited. "
Liang Qu looked at Long Pingjiang, who was two and a half meters tall.
The dragon's physique is not sickly and slender, but is almost an enlargement of the same proportion as that of the human race. When walking, it is no less than a wall moving sideways, and it is full of oppression.
Can this thing intermarry with people?
Long Pingjiang coughed twice: "Most of them are intermarriages between dragon girls. The dragon girls' physique is usually between five feet five to six feet, which is considered a good match.
There is a small number of dragon men, which is not a problem, but once pregnant, the woman will have a very high risk of dystocia.
Dragon people basically weighed more than fifteen kilograms when they were born. Seventeen or eighteen kilograms is the normal level. The largest recorded weight in the clan was forty-two kilograms. If the woman's strength is low and she absorbs nutrients for the fetus, she will be almost haggard. Impossible to survive. "
Liang Qu understood.
If the fetus weighs more than eight kilograms and the mother's pelvis is not large enough, dystocia may occur. If the fetus weighs more than nine kilograms, the possibility of natural delivery is already quite small.
Forty-two pounds...
She is half an adult woman!
Can't get out at all.
Liang Qu has a good understanding of the customs and habits of the dragon people.
On the occasion of parting, Long Pingjiang asked again.
"Sir, do you want to tell the clan that you are the reincarnated Dragon Lord? Or should you tell a few elders individually?"
"I am not the reincarnation of Dragon Lord!"
Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe showed their faces clearly.
Not the time!
"Don't worry, sir, we two brothers will never reveal it to anyone!"
"..."
The dragon brothers who accepted death left, and the supply of precious fish that returned every six days came to an abrupt end.
Liang Qu sighed, picked up his spear, stood in the courtyard, and honed his spear skills.
…
At the same time.
Like the two brothers Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe, the dragon people on the entire south bank who were searching for the reincarnated dragon king rushed to the depths of the swamp to celebrate the festival and report the information they had been looking for for months.
There were more than just the two brothers Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe near Huaiyin Prefecture.
Near Xiangyi County.
A dragon person suddenly stopped from the rapids, fell to the bottom of the river, and stared at the silt.
His companion asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look at this ditch, is there anything wrong?"
"Ditch?"
The companion fell to the ground and observed carefully, and was surprised to find that the gully in front of him was extremely long and almost the same width.
"Snake!? With such a big body, it must be a monster! Did the dragon's men come looking for us? Did it come looking for us?"
The dragon man who first discovered the trace rolled his eyes: "What can we find? There is only two taels of meat, all bones."
"Why did the monster suddenly approach the shore?"
When the Dragon King of Jianghuai Lake was there, there was a rule that monsters would not go ashore, and big monsters would not approach the shore.
But with the big monster taking the lead, monsters rarely approach the river bank.
Now, even if the real dragon has passed away, many water beasts have become accustomed to this unspoken rule and will not break it easily. The sudden change caused the two dragon men to frown and think hard.
"Could it be that it has news about the Dragon King?"
"Not necessarily. Do you remember that we eavesdropped on the conversation of the fishermen the day before yesterday?"
"Fishermen?"
The companion thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up.
"It seems that there was a big snake swimming in the shallow water, and someone from the Zhang family worked together to catch it?"
