Chapter 426 People are different and things are different
Lu Zhai.
The blazing stove created layers of heat waves, and the temperature inside the house was even more exaggerated than during the dog days of midsummer.
Lu Gang wiped off his sweat with his bare chest. He looked as strong and tall as ever, giving people a strong sense of security.
"Third Brother, this is roughly what happened. There was too much blood ore, and it was all piled up in the cabin of the Fu ship I docked at the pier. It took too much effort to move it.
I had already made arrangements with the two guys at the fishing station, and I asked them to get on the cart and haul everything down.
There is also snake gall wine in the martial arts hall. You can take it on the way, one jar per person, or wait for Senior Brother Hu to send an apprentice to bring it over."
The coals burst and sparks flew out.
After listening to Liang Qu quietly, Lu Gang burst into laughter.
The laughter was resounding, and all the apprentices and helpers around him turned their eyes to him.
Liang Qu was puzzled: "What are you laughing at, brother?"
Lu Gang shook his head and said, "I suddenly felt sad. I remember that when Junior Brother became my disciple two years ago, I made a Fu Bo for him. If I remember correctly, it weighed nearly 100 jin. Junior Brother couldn't use it flexibly when he picked it up. He had to use the strength of his waist and hips to turn it.
When you go to the mountain to exterminate the mountain ghosts, you must also be careful to watch over them. In a blink of an eye, you have stepped into the smoke of war. Fubo, I see that you have cultivated several thousand kilograms of spiritual power, and your spiritual edge is even stronger than before.
Things have changed so fast... The Fahua Temple has been demolished, and a Kui Pavilion has been built. Pingyang Town has also been renamed Pingyang Prefecture. It has been two years, and people and things have changed so much that I can't recognize it..."
Senior Brother Lu, who has always been taciturn, talked a lot in one breath and was truly full of emotion.
the end.
"Brother Liang, most of the gifts that the senior brothers gave you back then are no longer useful, right?"
Liang Qu shook his head and said seriously.
"Brother Yang's dagger, Brother Yu's cloak, and Brother Lu's Fu Bo are all in use and have been of great help.
Senior Brother Cao always wears his jade pendant on his body, and wakes up refreshed every day. He also often wears Senior Brother Hu's belt.
Only Senior Brother Xu's arm guard and Senior Brother Xiang's silk coat were rarely used, and Senior Sister Zhuo's cloud tiger boots were a little ill-fitting, but they were all carefully put away.
The gifts given by the senior brothers are very thoughtful, so I am naturally using them very carefully."
Lu Gang nodded and said nothing more.
The atmosphere was silent.
Liang Qu looked around and saw that Senior Brother Lu didn't say anything, so he reminded him.
"Brother, remember to send someone to the pier to move the bloodstone."
"it is good!"
evening.
The smoke from cooking was curling up, and streaks of fireworks were floating in the sky above Yixing Town. In the distance, the water on the lake was shimmering.
The donkey cart moved slowly, swaying and bumpy.
The donkey was not as fast as the Chishan donkey, but it gave Liang Qu a different kind of leisurely enjoyment while riding it.
The whip lightly hit the donkey's butt, and the cart turned into Chen's house.
Xiao Shunzi was lying in the yard counting ants. When he saw Liang Qu, he called him "Brother Shui" and grinned.
Liang Qu felt his trouser pocket and found nothing, so he spread his hands helplessly.
Xiao Shunzi opened his mouth into an O shape and leaned his body backward, leaving a long silhouette.
stab~
A strong aroma of stir-fried pork slices wafted out from the window.
A-di, who was cooking in the kitchen, caught sight of the figure and hurried out to greet them. She took the reins, untied the rope, led the donkey into the shed, and when she came out again, she suddenly found a large black jar left in the cart.
She picked it up and weighed it.
Shaky.
full.
He hurriedly called Liang Qu who was at the door.
"Hey, Ah Shui, there's a jar of wine left in the cart! You forgot to take it."
"I haven't forgotten!" Liang Qu waved his hand. "It's a specialty of Xiangyi, very nutritious! Remember not to drink too much a day, only half a bowl. If you drink too much, you will feel very dry! You will have a nosebleed!"
After she finished speaking, A-Di wanted to call out again, but the person had disappeared.
"This boy."
A Di shook her head, and as she was used to Liang Qu's behavior, she picked up the jar of wine and went back to the house.
"Shunzi, stop playing, wash your face, wipe your nose, and eat!"
Xiao Shunzi sniffed his nose twice, blew out two clouds of dust and went into the house.
home.
Su Guishan was hanging around the kitchen door, with a big turtle crawling around at his feet.
After burning firewood once at noon, Aunt Zhang didn't dare to let her employer's uncle go into the kitchen to help.
Liang Qu patted the black dragon's head that jumped over, washed his hands in the well, and felt that life was comfortable.
Life~~~
Liang Qu lay down on the recliner and dozed off for a while. Then Wu Long swung his tail and bit his trouser leg to call him to eat.
At a glance, there are stir-fried beef, boiled pork slices, a bowl of farm-style cuisine, chopped pepper fish head, crispy roast duck with garlic, braised beef tendon, steamed knife fish, and several stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
The aroma is tangy.
There are twelve dishes in total, each with a large portion, all served on large plates, making it an extremely sumptuous meal.
Liang Qu specifically asked Aunt Zhang to add it.
A master of wolf smoke, two grandmasters, and one who loves gourmet food, that’s not too much.
Su Guishan took the chopsticks and ate his meal happily without any pretense, feeling particularly comfortable.
The dishes on the table are said to be exquisite, but they are far inferior to the delicacies from the mountains and seas in the palace. They are more rough, spicy and fresh.
Let’s eat!
After a hearty meal, my mouth is full of grease and my internal organs are filled with joy.
Eat well.
Su Guishan drank strong tea to dispel the greasy feeling, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"What's for dinner tonight?"
"Tonight?" Liang Qu wondered. Didn't they just have dinner?
"I said midnight snack."
"Are you still having a midnight snack?"
Liang Qu was stunned. He didn't expect that Su Guishan was not satisfied with three meals a day and was still thinking about having a midnight snack.
I don’t have this habit. I get up at sunrise and go to bed at sunset.
Only the Grandmaster has the habit of staying up late. "Well, no?"
Aunt Zhang on the side interrupted: "Boss, don't blame me for being nosy. Uncle finally came here, so he can eat whatever he wants. I'm coming again, it's not a problem!"
Liang Qu: “…”
"How about this," Su Guishan said, "You prepare a meal for me, and I'll eat comfortably. Then I'll give you a precious plant. How about that? It's really hard to find something that's similar but not the same. I heard that your fate is water. How about I give you a precious plant of water?"
Liang Qu's eyes lit up.
This is a great feeling, uncle, you should have said it earlier.
But for midnight snack...
"Does Uncle like to eat them in shells?"
"You mean crabs? I like them, but it's only May..."
"Not crabs, crawfish!"
"Crayfish?" Su Guishan thought, "Oh, you mean crayfish?"
"Yes! Crayfish! It's May, and the meat is plump."
Su Guishan nodded: "I've eaten cicada tofu and I think it's good. You can try it."
"Aunt Zhang, please work hard tonight and make one portion of garlic sauce, one portion of spicy sauce, and one portion of fried chicken with five spices. Also, make two portions of milk drinks. I'll give you three taels of processing fee this month."
When Aunt Zhang heard about the wage increase, she looked happy, but then she became hesitant again.
"Boss, it doesn't matter whether I get paid or not..."
"Aunt Zhang, if you have something to say, tell me. We have known each other for such a long time, are you afraid of me?"
Aunt Zhang spoke up boldly: "Boss, are you still short of people in your compound? I have a maid, but she doesn't have any proper work..."
"Okay, let her do the work." Liang Qu understood halfway through and waved his hand, "She'll help you on weekdays, light the fire, tidy up here and there, dust off, and boil water for tea when someone comes."
Aunt Zhang had to take care of both lighting the fire and cooking, which was quite troublesome, especially when there were so many dishes, as she had to do two things at once.
Now Scarface Jiang Otter cleans the yard and Aunt Li washes the clothes. It seems that there is no shortage of people, but in fact there is a lack of a handyman to fill the gap.
Especially since there are more and more various animals and people in the house, I really don’t dare to bring them home without any background.
Aunt Zhang works in an orderly manner and is a responsible person. I was particularly impressed after finding out about the matter.
As the saying goes, a daughter looks to her mother.
If the mother is good, the daughter will not be bad.
"But the wages will still increase, three taels per month. For Aunt Zhang's daughter, she will start with eight hundred wen per month."
"Oh, okay, thank you, boss!"
Aunt Zhang thanked her again and again.
For a normal working woman, 600 wen a month is considered good, and 800 is already not a small amount. However, Aunt Li, who does laundry, now only earns 1 tael and 2 qian a month.
If you do well, the price may rise further.
Night falls.
The old turtle lay motionless, enjoying the moonlight bath.
There is no noise from the old toad today. Although the pond is a little small, the environment is quiet and peaceful.
puff~
Liang Qu jumped into the water.
Endless tingling sensations invaded from every corner, causing him to frown.
The sense of oppression brought by the dragon is not as strong as that brought by Yang Dongxiong, but it is full of malice and murderous intent, which is different from simple pressure. Especially with the blessing of its own status, one can't help but feel nervous just by imagining it.
"Give it a try."
The Liangqu Canal was glowing with green light, and a huge green dragon was circling around it.
Yang Dongxiong's training results in the morning were really good. I hope Jiaolong will not disappoint us.
An hour and a half later.
Liang Qu, who sank to the bottom of the pool, never floated up to breathe, and his breathing remained steady.
The old turtle was slightly surprised and poked his head out: "This kid is really good at holding his breath, could he have learned the turtle breathing technique?"
The Wolf Smoke martial artist calms his mind and does not exercise. He keeps his mind calm and peaceful. It is not difficult for him to hold his breath for half an hour or an hour.
But an hour and a half would be much more difficult.
It is not something that can be done by the normal physical limit. Besides being gifted, one must also practice some special method, such as the tortoise breathing technique, the breath holding technique, or even the more advanced internal breathing technique.
Liang Qu knew that the old turtle was watching, and he was not in a hurry at all, because he could clearly feel that Qinglong's true energy had increased by one point!
it works!
At the same time, across the north and south.
Near Xiangyi County.
As Fist concentrated on mining, the color of his shell became increasingly red, revealing an extraordinary sense of intimidation.
Especially mining, he is becoming more and more proficient at it, and the ore is not much better than tofu.
Although no blood gems were found, there were several pieces of medium-sized blood ores, so the harvest was quite good.
underwater.
As hard as the round-headed pig, it went alone into a strange swamp.
Throughout the whole day, there were a total of fifteen little porpoises following behind him, some carrying or holding various items. Invisible waves spread layer by layer, and every little porpoise looked comfortable, even the larger "front leader" among them.
It seemed that it had conquered an entire colony of wild finless porpoises in just one day!
However, Roundhead was dissatisfied with his slow efficiency.
According to the prior investigation by the men, there should be two wild finless porpoise tribes near Xiangyi County, with a total of 32 porpoises.
It had planned to do it all at once today, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, but for some reason one of the porpoise tribes disappeared!
It was empty, as if someone had moved overnight.
Roundhead is trying to find them again.
During the search, one of the fifteen brothers suddenly stopped and called out to Yuantou.
Roundhead followed his younger brother's instructions and landed on the water, noticing the change in terrain.
Several intersecting snake paths stretched out to the depths of the dark waters...
It is hard to imagine how huge the water beast that walked out of this road is.
Compare body shapes.
Roundhead was shocked.
Another snake demon?
