"Where did you get this?"
"Underwater? Floating on your own? You took it back when you saw it glowing?"
Liang Qu taught the two beasts how to identify treasure fish by looking at whether they look different from ordinary fish, and whether their color and shape are unique and rare.
These words were deeply remembered by the two beasts. When they saw the glowing feathers, they knew that this thing was not a fish, but they still thought it was a good thing, so they brought it back.
The truth... is correct.
The feathers are very large, three feet long and one foot wide.
Liang Qu tried to reach out and touch it, but was forced back by the astonishing heat emanating from the feathers.
Good guy, it's so hot, no wonder both Can't move and Ah Fei dare not pick it back up, just like dumpling sweet potatoes.
Huge feathers, amazing heat.
Liang Qu immediately thought of the giant flaming bird flying in the sky during the battle between the two demons last night.
As expected, the feather fell off from its body and drifted here, where it was discovered by the two beasts.
Brother Toad, you did a good job, killing the big monster and letting me drink some soup and water.
Liang Qu controlled the water flow to roll up the feathers. After the heat dissipated, he could try to touch it directly.
The feathers are as hard as iron, with a cold sheen that shines brightly in the dark. The feathers are very soft and feel great to the touch, but they are too hot to touch without being rinsed with water to cool them down.
What's the use of a feather?
There is no water essence for birds and animals to ingest, so if you use it as a baby warmer, you have to worry about your clothes catching fire.
Liang Qu fell into deep thought and couldn't figure out how to use it.
But no matter what, the objects on the Great Demon must be very precious. Take them back and show them to your master and brothers. Maybe they will know how to use them.
Liang Qu did not hesitate to praise: "Well done! If you see something that is not a fish but something unusual, you can bring it back."
The two beasts, who had been praised, started spinning in the water, stirring up violent currents.
Liang Qu came out of the water after a splash. Seeing that the sky was almost dark, he told him not to move and went back to guard the lotus roots, while the fat catfish explored the nearby waters more.
Especially in the nearby shallow waters, are there any sunken ships, human creations, treasures, treasure plants, treasure fish? It would be best if we could find the same feathers, or even a part of the great water beast.
Liang Qu wanted to know how much water essence a part of the body of such a big demon could possess.
You can explore not only the waters near Yixing City, but also the nearby Yunjiang Port and Pingyang Town.
Today's Ah Fei is quite huge. As long as he doesn't enter the deep water rashly, he won't be in much danger.
After dragging his feathers and climbing back to the sampan, Liang Qu took a look into the waterproof compartment. In addition to ordinary fish species, there were two carps, a yellow croaker, and a tiger fish inside. They were all good fish species.
Back at the port, it was already dawn, and Liang Qu sold the fish to Lin Songbao.
"There don't seem to be many today. Why are there only two baskets?" Lin Songbao helped move the fish baskets to the fishing pen. When he opened it, he was surprised, "Huo, so many good fish? One yellow croaker, two carp, and one tiger fish?" Did you stab the fish nest?"
"Good luck today."
"It's amazing. In winter, people catch less and less, but you catch more and more." Lin Songbao gave him a thumbs up, "I'll give you three hundred and forty-six coins in total, shall I give you three coins?"
Lin Songbao is not an idiot. Although his father didn't say anything, he also knew that Liang Qu must have undergone amazing changes. The discount given was even greater than before. Three coins of silver. Normal exchange for copper plates would cost 360 coins. .
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome. You're here so I can save the time to look for you. The restaurant has been booked for private room C in Langyun Building tonight. My father asked me to ask you if you want to send a carriage to pick you up."
Liang Qu wanted to show the feather to his senior brother, so he shook his head: "No, I will go to town today."
"Okay, keep it, your money."
After getting the money, Liang Qu turned around and came to the boat. He soaked the linen clothes he took off with cold water, wrapped them in feathers and walked home. He passed by a fishing pen where someone was selling fish.
"Song Bao, help me weigh it again. Is it wrong? Look at how big this fish is."
"Uncle Chen Hu, didn't you weigh it just now? Fifty-three cents is correct. After deducting 45% of the chartered fishing boat, it is thirty cents."
"This, this is too little, Song Bao, raise your hand, please give me more, more." The dark-skinned middle-aged fisherman smiled and raised his hand vigorously, "My boy is only eight years old and is growing taller. Well, the one you've seen is just that big, and I call you brother."
"It's really not possible. I gave you an extra five cents last time, and my father scolded me when I got home. And you also know, Uncle Hu, that the commission for Yunjiang Port next door is 50%."
"Why......"
On Qingshi Street, Liang Qu listened for a long time. The cold linen cloth in his hands felt hot before he slowly walked home.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the water temperature is even lower. Your hands will turn purple from freezing after being soaked in the water for a while.
Too cold and fish's metabolism will slow down, reducing their need for food, and they will congregate in deeper areas where it is warm enough.
It doesn't come out, it doesn't move, and it stays deep. With the fishing methods of fishermen, it is impossible to catch it. If it is caught, it can't be sold at a high price. Because the water flow is slow, the oxygen content is low, and the material circulation is small, the fish cannot be eaten. Thin and small...
The color of the bluestone is not as dark as it was two months ago. This is the case every winter, as if the brilliance of all things has been frozen and shrunk.
There are more sallow-faced women in the yellow mud lanes on both sides of the stone road than in autumn. They are wrapped in yellow old coats and huddled on the steps. Whenever the stone slabs grind, they will raise their heads and take a look.
Liang Qu saw a girl about the same age as him sitting on the steps and smiling at him. Her malnourished face was thin and yellow, and her hair was as withered and yellow as weeds. It was not pretty at all. He lowered his head and walked away expressionlessly. Pass.
In addition to the women in old coats, there were many children in Huangni Alley. They gathered together to burn dry firewood that they had picked up from nowhere. The oldest one was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a sad look on his face, and the youngest one was only five or six years old, with a hanging Holding a long runny nose, we played some finger games together.
There are also old ladies begging on the streets.
"Huh~"
Thick mist sprayed out from his mouth and nose, and Liang Qu stood there for a long time.
"Niang Xipi!"
...
"Hello!"
Liang Qu shouted, put the oil paper bag on the ground, turned around and left.
"What is this?" A boy stepped forward, opened the oil paper bag with his fingers, and shouted, "Ah, steamed buns, steamed buns! There are so many steamed buns, more than ten!"
"Okay, it's hot buns."
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, it's all there."
"I'll share it, I'll share it. Brother, you are the youngest, you can eat two."
...
A few alleys away, Liang Qu put down the oil-paper bags one by one and left quickly.
So fucking annoying.
Two coins are gone.
Liang Qu suddenly became angry. He had no target, no reason, and no purpose. He was just angry.
Maybe he was annoyed with his excessive kindness, maybe he was annoyed with the fucked up world, maybe he was annoyed with why those poor people were wandering around in front of his eyes.
There seemed to be fire flowing in his veins. The surroundings were cold, but he was as hot as coals.
After taking a few deep breaths, Liang Qu calmed down.
When he got home, he threw the large demon feathers wrapped in linen clothes that were almost drying out into the frozen water tank. Soon the ice surface was heated and the feathers and cloth were submerged in the water.
Liang Qu got into his stance and started to refine the skin.
The day of breaking through is getting closer and closer, it is almost the last step.
Everything Liang Qu has now can be described as a different kind of "power between dogs and people", but as long as he becomes a true warrior, he has to rely on himself to complete his transformation, which is equivalent to an ordinary person becoming a scholar.
The blood flowed, suddenly spreading to the limbs and bones, flowing towards the outermost layer of skin,
After a long time, the red skin gradually returned to its normal rosy color.
Liang Qu could feel that his body was becoming tougher again. Although there was no change to the touch, once he was attacked, some deep-seated changes would occur and he would become very tough.
The improvement in strength made most of his depressed mood dissipate. He picked up the pastries he bought before and went to Chen Qingjiang's house nearby.
It was two days late, so luckily the pastries I bought were mostly peach cakes, which are not easy to spoil in winter, so they were not much different from when I first bought them.
Knock on the courtyard door.
"Who?"
"I!"
"It sounds like Ah Shui's voice. I'll go take a look."
"Ah Shui? Qingjiang, you have to thank me properly."
"I know, Dad."
There were sounds of conversation inside the house.
A little head suddenly appeared on the low wall beside him: "Ah, it's Brother Shui!"
Liang Qu picked up the wooden box in his hand and shook it twice: "Shunzi, open the door for me and give you something delicious to eat."
"coming!"
Xiao Shunzi jumped off the stool, ran to the door of the courtyard, opened the door, and rushed over in anticipation. Liang Qu opened the box with a smile, took out a piece of peach cake and stuffed it into Shunzi's hand.
"Mmm, so sweet!"
Shunzi stuffed her mouth full, holding the fallen crumbs in her other hand, her face full of shock.
Chen Qingjiang had just arrived at the door and was shocked when he saw the sign of Wufangzhai: "Ah Shui, why are you giving Shunzi such expensive food and ruining it!"
