Angry curses mixed with the wind.
strangeness.
Shouldn't it be the charming smile of a beautiful woman?
Why are the elders laughing at you?
Liang Qu fell into deep thought.
Ran Zhongshi boarded the boat first, and Liang Qu, who had recovered his senses, followed closely.
The rowing man tied up the canoe, jumped on the deck, and pulled the rope to close the canoe.
Ran Zhongshi made a gesture, and the man turned around and entered the cabin.
Liangqu is very sensitive to the flow of water.
The boat is moving.
"Let's go, we should be the only ones left."
Liang Qu nodded, followed Ran Zhongshi to the second floor, opened the door, and heard a flood of noise.
The floor is covered with the unique peak pattern of nanmu. Several large urns are placed randomly on the ground. The thin tire is covered with a layer of red glaze, mixed with light blue gradient patterns. There is only a word written on the neck of the urn. The word "wine" is rich in color.
There was not a single maid in sight in the entire hall. There were thirteen people in total, and the only female was Ran Zhongshi's sister Ran Ying.
Everyone was sitting randomly, rocking the Taishi chair, lying on the Arhat bed, there were low tables everywhere, filled with all kinds of fruits and melons, the plum blossom stove was blowing out white sandalwood smoke, and a few people gathered in the corner, seeming to be playing tags. .
Very cool.
Liang Qu's first feeling.
It was noon, the weather could be called muggy, but it was surprisingly cool inside.
Unlike the ice mirror, the ice mirror does not have such an effect, and there is no ice mirror indoors.
"Zhongshi! Why did you come just now?"
"Didn't I tell you to bring someone new?"
Ran Zhongshi took half a step to the side to let Liang Qu out of the way.
Xiang Fangsu, who was lying on the Grand Master's chair, sat up and said, "Oh, the one who picked out the Whale Gang?"
"Otherwise, can I bring others here?"
Liang Qu stepped forward and bowed: "My lords..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Fangsu interrupted: "Boy, how old are you this year?"
"Almost seventeen."
Xiang Fangsu looked at the young man in white who was flipping through a book in the other corner: "Yinbin, how old are you this year?"
Bai Yinbin put down the book: "Twenty-six."
"Ha! Yinbin, you are not the youngest anymore!"
"Look, boy, the youngest of us is twenty-six, you have to call all of us brother!"
Ran Zhongshi nodded in agreement.
"There's no need to be formal. You're one of your own here. You can call me and Brother Xu whatever you want. Let me introduce you to you. This is Xiang Fangsu, the third son of the Hou family in Ji'an."
"Brother Xiang."
"Bai Yinbin is the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Changxing. His father is the minister of the Ministry of War."
"Brother Bai."
…
"You know my sister, Ran Ying."
"Sister Ran."
…
The boss of Qing Yishui.
Several Liang Qu had impressions and had met him in Fengbu County before.
Ran Zhongshi patted Liang Qu on the shoulder.
"Brother Liang Quliang, the ninth disciple of Brother Xu, Uncle Yang, was a genius who achieved the level of Galloping Horse at the age of sixteen. You all knew it before."
After saying that, Ran Zhongshi found a stool and pressed Liang Qu down.
Xiang Fangsu followed: "Zhong Shi is right, it's everyone's wish to have you come, there's no need to be formal, we're not looking for a maid or maid here.
Be more casual. It will take a while before the meal is ready. If you are hungry, you can get what you want. Try these lychees and the 'glutinous rice' sent from Lingnan this morning, the latest crop in May. "
Xiang Fangsu brought a plate of lychees to Liang Qu, with water drops hanging on the round red shells.
"Thank you, Brother Xiang."
After being polite, Liang Qu sat down next to Ran Zhongshi.
Everyone is very welcoming, but I feel more comfortable following people I know.
Ran Zhongshi looked around: "Where's Brother Xu? Why didn't I see him when I came up just now?"
"Well, it's over there." Xiang Fangsu pointed out the window, "I'm fishing. He said he got some special bait from a fish gang and has been making nests."
"It's so hot, I'm really not afraid of the sun."
Liang Qu didn't listen. He saw a teacup on the low table and poured himself a glass of water.
It tastes slightly sweet, not tea, but more like juice squeezed from some kind of juice.
[Water Essence +0.9]?
Liang Qu turned the teacup, looked up and down, and took a few more sips.
【Mizusawa Essence +0.9】
【Mizusawa Essence +1.1】
Is it some kind of precious plant used to extract juice?
Liang Qu silently refilled his glass and observed the conversation.
He is the youngest and does not understand much when he first comes here. He listens more and talks less.
Listening and listening, I slowly understood the nature of the party.
"I was supposed to be able to condense the third bridge this month, but I received a mission and it didn't work out."
"I just said that the last time you said it was this month, you still denied it!"
"This time Ganyu helped us get a lot of limelight. Last time I looked at Ao Weijun's face across from him, he looked so black. Haha!"
"The Fish Gang is a one-time business, and it's gone once it's done. If we divide it equally, each of us will have a big contribution. Speaking of which, it's thanks to Brother Liang. My mother sent me a few ice platforms yesterday, and I'll give them to Brother Liang another day. Send one over."
Liang Qu didn't know what the ice platform was, so he still thanked him.
"The majority of the credit lies with the Ghost Mother Cult. Unfortunately, the Ghost Mother Cult's people have shrunk so much that they are not as easy to find as they were in the beginning."
"Two days ago, I discovered a river island. There seemed to be people on it. I didn't dare to go up there to explore it myself. Is there anyone who wants to follow me?"
"Me, I just haven't had much to do in the past two days."
"Add me one."
"By the way, I heard that someone in Huazhu County was retaliated by the Ghost Mother Cult?"
"Retaliation, real or fake?"
"I have to plan a mission and send someone over to see what's going on."
It was really an exchange meeting...
All come to supervise each other, communicate, and exchange gains.
Especially how to defeat the Wei Linyi faction and search for traces of the Ghost Mother Cult.
Damn it, everyone is so curly, right?
Liang Qu originally thought it was a carnival of three and two generations, but when he came to see it, it turned out to be a struggle conference?
After a while, he declined the invitation to play cards and sneaked out to have some fun.
Xu Yuelong tilted his head: "What, you're not used to being in there?"
"A little."
"It's okay. This is the first time. It'll be fine after I've been there twice and become familiar with it."
Xu Yuelong reached into the wooden barrel on the side, grabbed a yellow ball, and threw it into the river.
Liang Qu stared at the barrel and asked curiously.
"Brother Xu, where did you get this bait?"
"Oh, this, I asked a fisherman to get it. I heard it is very powerful. With this bait, they can harvest four or five times the fish every day than the fishermen next to them!"
Bait, fishermen, four or five times the fish catch...
An inexplicable sense of déjà vu came to Liang Qu's mind. He now had a large vat at his house. Every day Uncle Chen would come over and dig out a bucket and take it away. When it was empty, he would refill it.
etc!
Liang Qu suddenly remembered that Uncle Chen came to his door a few days ago and asked him if a rich man wanted to buy some bait and could he sell it.
He didn't think much about it at the time and let Uncle Chen figure it out.
It's just yellow mud anyway, so it's no big deal if someone takes it away. Once you've been taken advantage of once, you won't do it again.
The results were unexpected.
The rich man came almost every day, so he had to replenish the yellow mud every now and then and made a lot of money.
Now think about it...
Liang Qu's eyes became serious.
"Brother Xu, do you really think this bait of yours is useful?"
"Yes, of course."
Xu Yuelong vowed to do so.
"I've been able to catch one or two fish every day on average these past two days! It's all thanks to this bait!"
