Chapter 433 Eavesdropping
Chapter 433 Eavesdropping
The fat catfish is mysterious, half-hidden, a pure riddle fish.
There is only one meaning behind his words: he is planning to steal something big.
Liang Qu wasn't sure whether it was real or he was simply confused and just believed everything he heard. After thinking about it, he didn't investigate it in detail and let the fat catfish exercise its subjective initiative and rode his horse south.
No rush to go home.
It was clarified yesterday that Fan Zixuan, Yan Qingshan and other He Bo heard that Shangguan had returned and visited him one after another. Today he plans to inspect the towns and villages.
You can't just sit there doing nothing.
The title of Du Shuilang was increased, and the Hebo Office gave him a monthly salary of 168 taels.
I was just looking for two people to run errands for me and buy gifts.
Chishan raised his four hooves, turned into a raging gale, galloped in all directions, and raised the leaves into a whirlwind.
at the same time.
A certain otter who is in high spirits...
The sign of the foot shop with the slogan "Eight copper coins to eat full, twelve copper coins to eat well" was flying, and the cut-up flag feet were dancing in the air.
At the pier, passers-by stopped, formed a human wall, and whispered.
Outside the store, Taotao sat on a small stool, holding a large wooden bowl in his hand. He picked up the piece of meat with chopsticks, removed the bright red pepper on it, and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate while sweating profusely and showing his sharp teeth.
The younger ones followed suit, grabbing chopsticks and poking them into the iron pot, stirring the food. The rich aroma of meat wafted in the air, and they didn't care about the eyes of passers-by at all.
The shopkeeper came out of the house and brought a plate of processed offal and shank meat, and slowly added them into the big pot that was bubbling and filled with bright red peppers.
The boiling soup gradually stopped.
Someone couldn't help it any longer, pointed at Taotaokai, and whispered to the shopkeeper what was going on.
The shopkeeper tilted the tray and talked as he poured it.
"I was preparing to close the stall at noon today, but the river otter raised by Mr. Liang came over, poured a bag of copper coins, several hundred of them, onto the table, and pointed at the big pot of stew with its claws!
I have been making this spicy hot pot for nearly half a year. The people at the dock have seen it a lot, but they have never seen anything like this. When I counted the copper coins on the table, there were more than four hundred and sixty copper coins!
Hey, four ounces of silver!
How generous!
It doesn’t matter who you make money from.
I'm thinking of setting up a new pot."
Everyone was amazed.
The things that Mr. Liang raises are amazing!
The shopkeeper added: "Don't worry, this is not the same pot as the ones sold outside. This is the pot I use at home."
"The shopkeeper is particular, but you don't mind?"
"What? Decades ago, my great-grandfather fled from the south and even fought with wild dogs for food!"
Everyone was in a noisy mess.
Taotao Kai thought the people around him were weird, so he scooped up the boiled offal and ate the meat in big mouthfuls.
hot! hot! hot!
happy!
After eating this spicy braised meat, I’ll gather my strength and go seek revenge on Scarface!
Today I swear to avenge my previous shame!
"Mr. Liang is awesome, and his toys are just as awesome, so smart!"
"I really want to touch it..."
"Be careful not to bite your hand off, it will fall into the pot and be perfect for stewing!"
Several strangers were amazed.
“Big places are just different.”
……
At the bottom of the water, the fat catfish was full of fish meat and its body was warm. It swam and groped around, and found a perfect position in the valley. It lay down among the water plants, concealing its breath, and secretly glanced at the hillside not far away.
This place is remote, low-lying, and full of lush grass and water. It's a great place to observe any unusual movements in the old toad's cave. It's great!
Everything is ready, now we just have to wait for the old toad to take action!
"Qua~"
The fat catfish was startled.
A small red-skinned frog had landed behind it at some point, and it quickly swung its tail to drive the frog away. It then closed the water plants again to cover itself, making sure that it had not attracted the attention of nearby frogs, and continued to lurk and observe.
First class...
I'm getting sleepy from waiting.
The fat catfish lowered its head and lay down in the water grass, wanting to take a nap.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the fat catfish, who is half asleep and half awake, sees lights and shadows flashing before his eyes.
It was as if lightning was flowing.
The fat catfish stood up and looked up.
Several arrow-shaped white sturgeons swam around, pulling shuttle-like boats behind them, rushing from a distance, stretching out a large white airflow, flashing across the valley, blocking the sunlight, and hovering above the frogs.
coming!
The fat catfish was greatly encouraged.
It raised its head and looked around. The entire bottom of the water was rippling with layers of orange light. It actually waited until evening!
It rained a little too much in the afternoon as Erpang said.
The shuttle sank and landed below the white sturgeon.
Several tall dragon men sat up from the shuttle, turned over and dived into the water. Their dragon silk fluttered without getting wet, and combined with their white marble-like skin, they looked quite celestial.
A large frog with a mountain-shaped anchor in its hand came forward to interrogate, making a few unclear croaking sounds.
The dragon man bowed, secretly took out two precious fish from his wide sleeves and stuffed them into the big frog.
The big frog looked around carefully, quietly put it into its mouth, turned around and landed at the door of the old toad, not daring to get close, only croaking twice from a distance.
The vines retracted, revealing the hole.
The old toad poked his head out and saw the dragon man hovering in the distance. He turned around and punched the vines, covering the cave entrance again, and then went out.
When passing by and questioning the big frog, the old toad suddenly stopped and looked around suspiciously.
The big frog looked up at the sky.
half an hour.
The old toad retracted his gaze and took two steps forward. Just as the big frog was about to relax, the old toad suddenly turned around and hit the big frog on the belly.
thump~
The big frog's belly was shaking like water waves, and the two precious fish were forced to spit out. The big fish fled in panic, but the old toad was quick to grab them and stuff them into his mouth, making his white pocket bulge.
The big frog carried the anchor on his shoulder, rubbed his belly, and sat down dejectedly.
Quack~
The elder’s perception is too sharp, and every time we catch some good fish, they always escape his eyes.
The dragon man in the sky was stunned.
A few young people asked quietly.
"Frog elder...has it always been like this?"
The leader glared back: "You have no right to speak!"
"..."
The old toad kicked and swam upstream.
The fat catfish came out of the grass and swam silently close to the ground. It walked up to the big frog and patted its shoulder to comfort it. It did not go into the cave to investigate when the old toad was away. Instead, it followed behind the old toad with its ears pricked up.
Finding out the old toad's financial situation is to make a better offer.
But right now, the transaction between the old toad and the dragon man seems to have more direct benefits?
The fat catfish always believed that he was much smarter than the roundhead, and that he was the most respectable and intelligent one among all the water beasts under the command of the gods!
prove!
The dragon people noticed the approach of the fat catfish, but the way it was so generous and patted the big frog on the shoulder made them not take it too seriously.
This place is the heartland of the frog tribe. Those who show up so generously must be our own people.
What's more, Changqi is not very important to the demon race, otherwise the old toad would not sell it easily.
The old toad swam in front of him.
"Frog Elder!"
The leading dragon man bowed respectfully, not daring to show the slightest disrespect to the old toad, the pillar of the frog tribe.
The old toad hummed softly and raised its head, but said nothing. The two precious fish continued to struggle in its white pocket.
The leading dragon man understood what he meant and took out two large boxes from the shuttle and presented them respectfully.
"I hope Elder Frog can tell me where this long energy is located? Are there any strange phenomena in the sky and the earth?"
The old toad took the big wooden box, opened it one by one, checked it, confirmed that it was correct, put it away with satisfaction, knocked out the two precious fish in his pocket, and pointed to the south-east direction.
"About 1,650 to 1,700 miles away, there will be a strange phenomenon in the middle of the water valley on both sides. It will probably be a rising tide. One of the fairy islands on the cloud will appear in the world within half a month."
The leading dragon man hurriedly took note.
The treasure-hunting ability of the Duobao Toad is unique in Daze.
The leader asked again humbly.
"Elder Frog, how do we subdue this long energy?"
Finding the qi is one thing, and controlling it is another.
The old toad raised its head again and turned its claws over.
The dragon leader has a toothache.
Obviously.
Telling the address is a price.
How to control the long anger is another price.
Fortunately, this was not the first time that the dragon man had traded with the old toad, and another wooden box was moved out.
Laogou is stingy and narrow-minded, but he does business with integrity, unless the requirements for the goods are not clearly stated at the time of purchase.
The old toad took the wooden box, opened it and looked at it, his eyes wide open with smiles.
"Use ice! Ice that's more than two hundred years old! To be safe, three hundred years is best."
"With ice?"
The chief looked bitter.
Not to mention ice that is more than 200 years old, even ordinary ice is hard to find in this season.
Fortunately, there is still some time before Changqi appears in the world.
The tribe sent many young people to the south bank to see if there was any way to get old ice of sufficient age from the human race.
On the other side, the fat catfish secretly wrote down all the contents.
It doesn't know what long breath is.
But its intuition told it that what the dragon man bought with three large boxes was not a cheap item.
