Chapter 433: Overheard
The Fat Catfish is mysterious, half-hidden, a pure riddle fish.
There is only one meaning behind the words, he is preparing to steal something big.
Liang Qu didn't know whether it was really something, or he was simply confused. He just listened to the wind and rain, thought about it for a while, and didn't go into details. He let the fat catfish use his subjective initiative and rode south.
There is no rush to go home.
It was found out yesterday that Fan Zixuan, Yan Qingshan and other He Bo heard that Shangguan was back and visited them one after another. Today he is going to inspect various villages and towns.
You can't stay idle for too long.
Du Shui Lang has been ennobled, and the Hebo Office is receiving a monthly salary of one hundred and sixty-eight taels.
I happened to find two people to run errands for me and buy gifts.
Chishan raised its four hooves and turned into a raging wind, galloping in all directions, raising leaves and whirling.
at the same time.
An excited otter...
"Eight copper coins are enough to eat, and twelve copper coins are enough to eat well." The flag of the foot shop is flying, and the cut flag feet are dancing wildly.
On the pier, passers-by stopped, surrounded by a human wall, and whispered.
Outside the shop door, Ota Kai squatted on a small horse, holding a large wooden bowl in his hand, using chopsticks to pick up pieces of meat, scooping off the bright red pepper on top, stuffing it into his mouth, sweating profusely while eating, baring his fangs.
A few young ones followed suit, grabbing chopsticks and thrusting them into the iron pot. As they stirred, the rich aroma of meat spread out, not caring about the gazes of passers-by.
The shopkeeper walked out of the room and brought a plate of prepared pork belly and shank meat, and slowly added it to the simmering cauldron filled with fresh red chili peppers.
The boiling soup gradually subsided.
Some people couldn't help it any longer, pointed at Da Da, and quietly asked the shopkeeper what was going on.
The shopkeeper tilted the tray and poured it while talking.
"I was going to close the stall at noon today, but I didn't know that the river otter raised by Mr. Liang came over and poured a bag of hundreds of copper coins on the table. He pointed at the big pot of stew with his paw!
I have been making this spicy pot stew for half a year. I have seen a lot of people on the dock, but I have never seen such a posture. When I counted the copper coins on the table, it was more than 460 copper!
Hey, four cents of silver!
How generous!
Whose money is not earned?
I'm thinking of setting up a new pot. "
Everyone was amazed.
The thing that Mr. Liang raised is amazing!
The shopkeeper added: "Don't worry, everyone, it's not the same pot as the ones sold outside. This pot is for my own use."
"The shopkeeper is very particular, and you don't mind it?"
"What's the matter? Decades ago, my great-grandfather fled from the south and fought for food with wild dogs!"
The crowd was in a commotion.
Da Dakai only felt that the people around him were strange, so he scooped up the cooked meat and ate the meat.
hot! hot! hot!
happy!
After eating this spicy braised pork, you will gain strength and go to Scarface for revenge!
Today I vow to avenge my previous humiliation!
"Master Liang's cattle are just like cattle. They are so smart!"
"I really want to touch it..."
"Be careful, I'll bite your hand off, it will fall into the pot and be stewed!"
Several outsiders were amazed.
“It’s just different in a big place.”
…
At the bottom of the water, the fat catfish was full of fish meat, and its whole body was warm. It swam around, groped, and found a perfect position in the valley. It lay down among the water plants, blocking its breath, and peeked at the hillside not far away.
This place is remote, low-lying, with luxuriant water and grass, and you can just observe any unusual movements in the old toad cave. What a wonderful place!
Everything is ready, now we are just waiting for the old toad to take action!
"Quick~"
The fat catfish was startled.
A small red-skinned frog landed behind it at some point. It quickly swung its tail to drive it away, then closed the water plants again to cover itself. After making sure that it did not attract the attention of the frogs nearby, it continued to lurk and observe.
Wait a minute...
Feeling sleepy waiting.
The fat catfish lowered his head and lay down in the water plants, wanting to take a nap.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the half-asleep Fat Catfish’s eyes flickered with light and shadow.
There seemed to be lightning flowing.
The fat catfish and carp stood upright and looked up.
Several arrow-shaped white sturgeons swam, pulling shuttle-like boats behind them, shooting from a distance, stretching out large white air currents, flickering across the valley, blocking the sun, and hovering over the frog clan.
coming!
Fat Catfish is in high spirits.
It raised its head and looked around. The entire bottom of the water was filled with layers of orange light. It turned out to be evening!
The afternoon the second fat man said was a bit too low.
The shuttle sank and landed below the paddlefish.
Several tall dragon men sat up from the shuttle and turned over into the water. The dragon silk was fluttering, and with their white marble-like skin, they looked quite fairy-like.
A big frog holding a mountain-shaped anchor came forward to interrogate him and made a few inaudible croaks.
The dragon man bowed down and secretly took out two treasure fish from his wide sleeves and stuffed them into the big frog.
The big frog looked around carefully, stuffed it quietly into his mouth, turned around and landed at the door of the old toad. He didn't dare to come close and only croaked twice from a distance.
There was a crackling sound.
The vines shrank, revealing the hole.
The old toad poked his head around and saw a dragon-man hovering in the distance. He turned around and punched the vines to cover the cave entrance again before going out.
When passing by and questioning the big frog, the old toad suddenly stopped and glanced suspiciously.
The big frog looked up at the sky.
A long while.
The old toad withdrew his gaze and took two steps forward. Just as the big frog was relaxing, the old toad suddenly turned around and punched the big frog in the belly.
Boom~
The big frog's belly trembled like water, and the two precious fish were forced to spit out. The big fish fled in a hurry. The old toad, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, with a bulging white bag.
The big frog carried the anchor on his shoulders, rubbed his belly, and sat down sadly.
Gua~
The elder's perception is too keen. Every time he recovers some good fish, he can't escape the elder's eyes.
The dragon man in the sky was stunned.
A few young people asked quietly.
"Frog elder... has it always been like this?"
The leader glared back: "You have no right to speak!"
"..."
The old toad kicked his legs and swam upstream.
The fat catfish emerged from the bushes and swam quietly close to the ground. It stepped forward and patted the big frog on the shoulder to comfort it. It did not take the opportunity of the old toad to go into the cave to investigate. Instead, it followed behind the old toad and pricked up its ears.
Finding out the old toad's family background is to make a better offer.
But now the transaction between the old toad and the dragon man seems to have more direct benefits?
The fat catfish always believed that he was much smarter than the round head. He was the most worthy and wisest of all the water beasts under the command of the gods!
Proof!
The dragon man noticed the approach of the fat catfish, but the way he was so generous and patted the big frog on the shoulder made them not pay much attention.
This place is the heartland of the frog tribe. If they appeared so generously, they must be all their own people.
Besides, Changqi is not very important to the demon clan, otherwise the old toad would not sell it easily.
The old toad swam in front of him.
"Frog elder!"
The leading dragon man bowed respectfully, and did not dare to be disrespectful to the old toad who was the pillar of the frog clan.
The old toad hummed lightly, raised his head, but did not say anything, and the two treasure fish continued to struggle in his white pocket.
The leading dragon man understood, took out two large boxes from the shuttle, and presented them respectfully.
"I hope the frog elder can tell me where the Changqi is located this time? Are there any strange phenomena in the world?"
The old toad took the big wooden box, opened it one by one to check, confirmed that it was correct, put it away with satisfaction, knocked out the two treasure fish in his pocket, and pointed to the south-east position.
"About 1,650 to 1,700 miles, there will be strange phenomena in the middle of the water valley on both sides. Probably the sea and moon tide will rise, and one of the fairy islands on the cloud will appear in the world within half a month."
The leading dragon man hurriedly wrote it down.
The treasure-hunting ability of the Duobao Toad is unique in the Great Lake.
The leader asked again humbly.
"Frog elder, how do we subdue this long qi?"
Finding the qi is one thing, subduing the qi is another.
The old toad raised his head again and turned his claws and webbed feet.
The dragon leader had a toothache.
Obviously.
Telling the address is one price.
How to subdue the long qi is another price.
Fortunately, it was not the first time that the dragon man traded with the old toad, and another wooden box was moved out.
The old goods were stingy and narrow-minded, but doing business was honest, unless the requirements for the goods were not clearly stated when buying.
The old toad took the wooden box, opened it and smiled.
"Use ice! Old ice over 200 years old! To be safe, 300 years is best."
"Use ice?"
The leader looked bitter.
Not to mention old ice over 200 years old, ordinary ice is hard to find in this season.
Fortunately, there is still some time before the long qi appears.
The tribe sent many young people to the south bank to see if there was a way to get old ice of sufficient age from the human race.
On the other side, the fat catfish secretly wrote down all the content.
It didn't know what long air was.
But its intuition told it that the dragon people bought three large boxes of it was not a cheap product.
