Chapter 299 Happy for nothing
night.
The rainstorm hasn't stopped yet.
Sewage flowed down the gutters into the mud.
The servant helped Liang Qu put on his straw raincoat, hat, and opened the horse fence.
Liang Qu hung up Fu Bo beside Chi Shan, and after receiving not much response, he got on the horse.
Fu Bo Forging ended in the afternoon, but Yang Dongxiong and Lu Zao hadn't seen each other for a long time. Lu Zao invited him to reminisce about the past, so Yang Dongxiong had to stay for dinner.
The master wanted to stay, and as the younger generation, Liang Qu and Xu Zishuai couldn't just take the things and run away, so they had to accompany him for dinner and celebrate until dark.
"I owe another debt. Fortunately, there is no rush. I will pay it back slowly in the future."
Several people were busy adding the sculpture of Fu Bo and making rubbings of the portrait. "Sending a banner" was the natural thing to do, as giving seniority did not mean that the brothers could work for nothing.
Fortunately, we all know each other, so I can slowly pay it back when I find some valuable materials in the future, there is no need to rush.
The ground was hazy and the iron hooves were roaring fiercely, stirring up mud.
Running on the muddy road of Chishan Mountain, his body was steady without any trembling, and he turned into a ball of fire in the rain.
"I'm coming."
After ringing the iron ring, Fan Xinglai hurried over to open the door.
Liang Qu took off his hat.
"Did anyone come to see me today?"
Fan Xinglai put away his raincoat and shook his head when he heard this.
"No."
Liang Qu nodded.
"Boil some water so I can take a bath."
"okay."
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Liang Qu went to the garden wearing only a single layer of clothes, just in time to see a giant river otter standing on the artificial rock beside the pond in the rain, squeaking loudly.
In front of Jiang Otter, Round Head, Scar Head, Mirage, Awei, and Fist all gathered together.
The water beasts stood in a row with serious expressions.
The giant river otter stood on a rock, dancing with its hands and feet. It stretched out one paw and tightly grasped the air, and waved the other paw back and forth in the air, as if demonstrating how it could beat people and how bravely and fearlessly it was doing.
The fat catfish in the pond rolled around with joy.
It used its whiskers to touch the otter, then used its fins to strangle its own throat. Then it rolled its eyes and floated to the surface of the water with its belly facing up.
The round head and fists were clamoring, and the look at Jiang Otter was full of doubt.
not finished.
The fat catfish immediately turned over, pointed at itself with its whiskers, half rose in the water, curled its fins into fists, and swung left and right to indicate that it was the one with real power.
The big river otter waved its claws, leaving an afterimage.
Without it, which consumes the vital physical energy of the one-eyed river otter, the fat catfish would not be able to defeat the opponent and would also become the opponent's defeated opponent!
The fat catfish snorted loudly, lowered its head to take in water, and a stream of water shot onto the big river otter's face.
The big river otter was so angry that he jumped up and down. He jumped into the pond with a splash and started fighting with the fat catfish again.
"what happened?"
Liang Qu ran to the old giant clam, and the raindrops and splashing water separated naturally from both sides without getting a single drop of it.
"We will go out to fight the enemy day and night."
The old giant clam was trying to hold back laughter as he recounted the entire incident in a halting manner.
This morning Liang Qu ordered a group of water animals to rush to the big lake to clear out the pond. The old giant clam followed beside them and saw with his own eyes that the river otter exchanged grilled fish for fat catfish and the help of immobile force.
Although I didn't go and see, I knew the situation of the battle by looking at the Jiang O family, who were covered in wounds but full of fighting spirit. They must have won.
"Huh? Why did they come back after winning the battle?"
Liang Qu was surprised that the river otters came to settle in the pond because their home was taken away, unlike the beavers.
Now that we have our homeland back, why go back to the pond?
The old giant clam laughed loudly: "Of course they can't protect their family business. This victory is entirely due to external forces. Even if they win temporarily, if the enemy otters find an opportunity in the future, they will become dogs without a home again."
Liang Qu was speechless.
A river otter could see the situation clearly.
It's just that he has too much temper.
Are all flat-headed brothers good at fighting?
After watching the fun, Liang Qu was about to go back to his room to sleep when a little river otter ran over and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
It is only small compared to other otters. In fact, it is more than one meter tall even when squatting. Compared with other fish cats that are only the size of an arm, it is a complete behemoth.
"what's up?"
The little otter kept pulling at his clothes. Seeing this, Liang Qu followed it to the grass nest of the otter family.
In the grass nest, a few river otters moved aside, revealing two gray metal ores.
"Eh?" Liang Qu squatted down, picked up the stone and shook it, "For me?"
The otters nodded.
In the wooden house on the other side, several beavers stood up straight, looking forward to it.
The little otter opened his palms and talked a lot.
The old giant clam acted as a translator.
The otters and beavers knew each other. They had been collecting minerals for a long time, preparing to ask the beavers to help them build a house.
Unfortunately, the otter's wish was not fulfilled. When they were halfway through collecting, other river otters came and attacked them. Not only were they driven away and lost their homes, but the ore they had worked so hard to collect was also gone. They came to seek refuge with their old friend, but they even had to pay the rent temporarily.
Dajiangtao asked Tiemushan and Xiongyajiang to take action, on the one hand to avenge his hatred, and on the other hand to take back his own property and pay Liangqudang the rent in the future.
As for home, I can’t go back.
The other side had too many otters and too many powers, so Xiongya and Tiemushan couldn't watch over them all the time and had to give up.
Besides, the environment in the pond is much better than that in the big lake. It is clean and lively. The most important thing is that it is safe. No monsters will break in. It is much better than my original home.
Originally, more than the two pieces of ore were brought back. The extra ones have already been paid and repaid to the beaver family, and the second wooden house in the pond will soon be built!
Liang Qu stroked the ore, not quite recognizing it.
A person's energy is limited. He is not a toolsmith and does not have a deep understanding of minerals. He can recognize Black Dragon Gold only because its color is exactly the same as tungsten gold, and it is covered with dragon-shaped patterns, making it highly recognizable.
Just ask Senior Brother Lu tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll take it."
the next day.
The rainstorm hasn't stopped yet.
Liang Qu simply stayed at home and practiced shooting while recuperating. The wind was blowing wildly and the sounds of dragons and tigers could be heard.
It seems that with the help of the Fu Bo Spear, the Qinglong Spear technique has improved further.
However, it may also be the result of Lord Chuan’s second favor.
Among the many weapons, Liang Qu is most familiar with spears and bows, which are consistent with what Chuanzhu is good at.
Speaking of which, Emperor Chuanzhu used quite a few swords.
But if I learn more, it will be too complicated, so I have never touched upon it.
Day three.
It is still raining heavily.
The raindrops on the eaves were like a bead curtain, and a layer of rainwater accumulated in the tree pools, without seeping down for a long time.
Liang Qu frowned slightly, fearing that it might be a rebound on Binghuo Day. To be honest, it rarely rained on Binghuo Day.
The rain continued that afternoon.
Liang Qu knew that there was no good time, so he went to look for Lu Gang in the rain.
In the hall of Lu's house, one side of the wall was completely cleared, revealing a white wall, with only a long scroll hanging on the upper level.
In the middle of the scroll, the ink-black spear is lifelike, its edge exposed, and it is painful to look at it for a long time.
Liang Qu moved his eyes to the left and saw the two characters "Fu Bo" written in a flamboyant style in the lower right corner of the scroll, with Lu Gang's seal stamped underneath.
"Junior brother, you came here in the rain, is there something wrong with Fu Bo?"
"Not really. I found two pieces of ore and wanted you to take a look at them."
Liang Qu untied the cloth bag and revealed the two pieces of ash ore given by Jiang La.
Lu Gang lowered his head and took a look: "Gray steel, two pieces will probably be worth three hundred and sixty taels."
Three hundred and sixty taels, not bad, not good either.
Liang Qu had expected this.
It's impossible to have everything go your way.
The Yangtze River dolphin family has many treasures because they live in deep waters and have a habit of collecting, which are the result of decades of accumulation.
As an amphibious creature, the river otter needs to go ashore to rest. Due to frequent human activities near the coast, there are not many treasures left.
"I gave it to my senior brother. It's of no use to me."
"Okay." Lu Gang did not refuse. "Gray steel has good toughness. If you stack it a few times, it will be a good weapon."
"I'll give it to you when I find something good in the future." Mo Longjin left a finger-sized piece, which was of no use. Liang Qu also wanted to keep it in case Fu Bo was damaged in the future, so there was basically no material left for Lu Gang.
Lu Gang wanted to decline politely, but when he thought of Liang Qu's terrifying fate in the swamp, he swallowed his words back halfway.
I really want it.
……
In the courtyard, Liang Qu dismounted from his horse.
"Is anyone looking for me?"
"Have!"
"Oh, who?"
"Mr. Li from the Hebo Police Station, you said that if Mr. Li comes to see you, you should let him in, so I let him in."
Chief Clerk Li Shoufu?
He did not forget the mermaid tribe near Xiangyi County, and asked Li Shoufu to come to him whenever he had a mission to Xiangyi County or other places.
Could it be...
Liang Qu hurried along the corridor to the courtyard.
Li Shoufu was sitting at the table drinking tea. Seeing Liang Qu, he quickly stood up and bowed, "Master Liang!"
"Don't be polite." Liang Qu raised his hand to stop him. He looked down at the album on the table and his expression changed. "But is Xiangyi in trouble?"
Unexpectedly, Li Shoufu smiled bitterly.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lord Liang. It's not that Xiangyi County is in trouble. It's Lord Ran who asked me to send you the list of the river chiefs."
"Oh, the roster."
Liang Qu just remembered that he was now a seventh-rank Du Shui Lang, and Ran Zhongshi had said before that he would assign someone to him.
Happy for nothing.
