Chapter 401: Poor with 1 knife, rich with 1 knife
Chapter 401: One Cut to Make You Poor, One Cut to Make You Rich
The Li family was quick and efficient, and sent people to clear out a depleted mineral vein the next day.
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and close to a swamp on one side, making it very secluded.
Those who are still mining inside will have their money returned, and those who want to continue mining after this period will be issued certificates. The overbearing behavior has made the martial artists who came to try their luck dare not say anything.
Liang Qu followed the servant to the entrance of the mine, looked around, and decided to stay there, asking the servant to leave quickly.
The grass swayed.
After making sure that there was no one around, Liang Qu sat cross-legged.
A quarter of an hour later, a giant crab more than two meters tall crawled out of the water. The yellow lines on its back made it look extremely powerful, and it shone with the luster of fine steel under the sunlight.
Liang Qu picked up a stone with a few red lines on it.
"One knife makes you poor, one knife makes you rich, fists, it's up to you!"
The fist hit the pliers, making a sound of metal clashing.
With a heavy responsibility in mind, it moved its eight legs to reach the deepest part of the mine, dug a passage into the mountain, and officially began to [live in a cave].
Seeing that his fist was in good condition, Liang Qu dropped the ore in his hand, walked to the side of the swamp, and jumped in.
Everything has been arranged on the shore, and the next step should be the highlight - the mermaid ruins!
I made these dumplings just for the vinegar!
The sunlight penetrated the water, forming linear beams of light, casting a surging blue light on Liang Qu.
Looking around, there are scattered small fish swimming around.
The giant snake lurked for three months, releasing its scent without concealment, scaring almost all the nearby fish into fleeing and disappearing.
Just one day has passed and the nearby waters have not yet fully recovered.
Liangqu's golden eyes bloomed as he swam all the way.
Wherever you go, control everything.
All the small fish looked at the golden light, their tails trembled, and then they rushed in all directions to start a carpet search.
Without being commanded and having its intelligence awakened, the instructions that Xiaoyu could understand were very simple, but this did not hinder his search for the mermaid remains.
The true dragon has been gone for no more than a hundred years, so even if the world has changed drastically, it would not completely cover up a settlement.
It is still possible to let the small fish find a "larger area with different terrain".
……
Lianshui County.
The boatman picked up a fried peanut, put it in his mouth to taste it, then raised his head and caught a glimpse of the smoke rising from the Fu ship, feeling strange.
For several days, every time it was time for dinner, smoke would rise from the boat, and it was obvious that there were people on board this official ship.
But in all those days, he never saw anyone coming down from the boat.
Such a big ship would need at least four or five crew members to run it smoothly, and there must be men inside.
As a man, you must go to Happy Forest, right?
How could the discipline on board be so good?
The boatman recalled the young man he had met before, touched the silver in his arms, and was filled with awe.
Even his subordinates are like this, he must be a good official!
on the deck.
The big beaver slapped the ground with its flat tail and grabbed a piece of metal ore to chew on. Some metal powder flew up and stained its chest with a layer of white powder.
This made Otter Kai quite annoyed, and he had to repeatedly send out River Otter to patiently clean out the powder that had fallen into the gaps between the wooden boards with a broom.
It secretly swore in its heart that if they met again, it would ask the gods to issue an order that beavers would no longer be able to chew ore on the deck!
While Otter was working hard, he did not forget to turn over the grilled fish in his hand. He took out the seasoning box and was about to sprinkle salt when a message came through the mental link.
After a few breaths, a long and piercing scream spread throughout the entire ship.
The large ship that was anchored woke up from its sleep.
Several otters jumped out of the room and went to their respective posts to perform their duties.
The two little river otters got on all fours and flashed past the kitchen door, but they came back not long after, drooling over the grilled fish inside.
Without caring about the heat, Otter Kai opened his mouth, grabbed the grilled fish and rushed out of the kitchen. He slapped the two little river otters twice, grabbed their necks and threw them onto the boat ramp. Then he quickly climbed up the mast, giving one instruction after another while eating the grilled fish.
Plop! The peanuts fell.
The boatman looked at the giant river otter on the mast from afar and was stunned.
Weird, no wonder I don't need to get off the boat to find a woman...
Noticing the gaze, Otter opened his five paws together, made a standard sailor's salute, then turned around and continued giving orders.
The anchor is raised and the bamboo pole is used to support the water.
The big ship slid out of the dock, and when it left the pier and entered the deep water area, the sails were spread out, catching the strong river wind and pushing the ship to accelerate slowly.
The cool breeze from the river blows on your face, dispelling the heat of late April.
The big beaver brushed off the powder on his chest, put the half-eaten metal ore into a small wooden box, came to the bow of the boat, opened his arms, and his hair fluttered.
Rejoice!
noon.
Liang Qu controlled tens of thousands of small fish, and asked Taotao to drive the Fu ship to Xiangyi County. When he returned to the shore, he took out large pieces of snake meat and placed them in front of fat catfish and other animals, letting them eat to their heart's content!
The fat catfish looked embarrassed when faced with the snake monster's meat and the touch of its fins.
After hesitating for a long time, it closed its eyes, bit off the snake meat, and swallowed it without chewing.
The water essence contained in water beasts is far less than that of treasure fish. A piece of meat of the same size not only takes up space in the stomach, but also obtains less water essence, which means it wins in terms of quantity.
But that's not important!
The key point is that the snake demon's corpse is contaminated with its own poison!
During the fight, a large area of poisonous fog filled the water, and even Liang Qu was inevitably contaminated. Not to mention the snake monster itself was so big that it was no less contaminated.
Especially the wound caused by the explosive spear on the waist, which only had a layer of flesh membrane left. It was completely torn apart in the subsequent battle, and poisonous water flowed back, comparable to the brine used to marinate meat, which made it taste so good!
The more I eat, the more my stomach hurts.
The taste is not good, and I have diarrhea while eating.
Never had a meal been so unpleasant for Fat Catfish.
But when it thought of its huge body that was "immobile", it endured the pain in its stomach and swallowed with tears.
The fat catfish is in the same situation, "unable to move", and the round-headed animals are not much better, their faces are distorted and their bodies feel uncomfortable after eating so much.
The only one who could adapt was Awei, who had a good resistance to poison. He sucked the snake's blood fiercely, his belly bulging out, and after a burp, his belly shrank back down and he continued to suck fiercely.
As for Liang Qu, after giving Quan the piece that belonged to him, he declined the rest of the snake meat.
It's dry and woody, and it smells a bit stinky after being contaminated by the poison. It won't taste good no matter how you cook it.
He chose to go to the restaurant.
After yesterday's banquet, the Zhang family sent someone to deliver a batch of water-attributed precious plants, plus five thousand taels of silver, as a reward after the event.
The Li family did the same, but they did not give Baozhi. The total amount they gave was 10,000 taels of silver!
Now that the snake is dead, there is no need for the two families to give any more benefits.
There is no stinginess, it’s all about pattern.
Who knows if there will be other fish monsters or grass monsters causing trouble in the future?
There will be nothing wrong in currying favor with the "future senior officials" of the Hebo Institute.
It is not advisable to cram at the last minute.
Giving it now is a reward, but if you encounter difficulties in the future, you won’t be able to give it even if you want to.
In this way, the wealth accumulated by Liang Qu suddenly increased to a huge amount of 20,000 taels!
Eat out a few meals and sprinkle some water.
After dinner, Liang Qu rinsed his mouth with tea leaves, asked the waiter to wipe the table clean, spread a white cloth on it, and brought an inkstone. He wrote the album on the spot, sorting out everything from beginning to end.
This leisurely pace lasted until noon of the third day, April 20th.
The Zhang family finally disassembled the snake demon's skeleton completely, cleaned the snake skin, and refined the snake bones.
Among the countless small fish exploring the big lake, one also sent a reply.
