Chapter 553 Fortunately, he lived up to his fate
Crash, crash.

The long black tail swings away the barnyard grass.

Wulong walked along the river bank, passing through the grass, lowering his head to sniff, and suddenly stopped, pricked up his ears, and stared at the water motionlessly.

Half of the eel poked its head out of the cave, opened and closed its flat mouth, and floated to the water to breathe.

The dragon's head moved closer and closer, and the shadow it cast blocked out the light from the sky. The eel sensed something was wrong and tried to shrink back.

Wow!

Wulong suddenly opened his mouth, bit the eel's head, dragged it out of the cave with its head tilted back, and bit and swung it madly.

Water splashed everywhere.

Spots of blood were scattered on the ground.

clack.

The headless eel with half of its body broken off was twisting non-stop. The little river otters rushed forward to grab it, grabbed its body, and skillfully gutted it with their claws, pulling out the spine and eating the eel meat like chewing a rubber band.

A big eel weighing less than a pound went into his stomach in the blink of an eye.

"Good dog! Come here!"

Liang Qu stood up straight, called Wu Long to the edge of the field, and when Wu Long was unprepared, he smeared all the mud on his hands on the dog's head.

Wulong scratched his fur with his claws, whimpered, took a few steps, and shook his fur to get rid of all the mud spots.

Crackling, mud stars all over the sky.

None of the dragon men and dragon women who were fishing for crickets were spared.

"Elder!"

Long Yao and Long Li started to complain.

Long Eying raised her hand to wipe the mud off her face and stared at Liang Qu quietly.

"Cough cough."

Liang Qu looked embarrassed and pretended nothing had happened. He pulled himself out of the mud, followed Wen Shiyun, and put the caught eels into the barbed wooden barrel.

This yellow eel weighed about three taels. It struggled desperately in Wen Shiyun's hand, but couldn't escape.

A child of four or five years old is very strong. Little Shunzi from Uncle Chen's family definitely cannot do this. The eldest grandson must have eaten a lot of good things after he was born.

"Master, there is a cricket cave!"

Liang Qu waved his hand.

Otter quickly skewered the skinned black-spotted frog legs and handed over the fishing rod with both paws.

As soon as the hook was thrown into the hole, the crayfish held on to it tightly and could be pulled out easily, which was much easier than catching an eel.

There are hundreds of acres of paddy fields, which are looked after by special people. Apart from their own people, no one dares to come to catch things on weekdays. The "supplies" are abundant, and even the "bait" is inexhaustible. The black-spotted frogs in the rice frog fields can be taken at will.

For eight people to fish casually, they don’t need much at all.

On the contrary, the wooden barrels, just walking along the few acres of fields along the river bank, could fill a large barrel with eels, and two lobsters, which seemed to be not enough.

Liang Qu suddenly understood Xu Yuelong's simple happiness.

Even if you have the ability to sense water veins and know exactly where eels and lobsters are, and can catch them by controlling the water, it is still not as fun as fishing with your own hands.

Whether there is a fish in the hole, whether the fish is biting the hook firmly, how big it is...all these things bring excitement that is no less than "gambling".

As the grandson of the Martial Saint, Wen Shiyun had never experienced such rural fun and ran around barefoot.

It would be even more exciting if a water snake suddenly appeared in the grass.

"Master, come quickly..."

"Be careful not to fall!"

Good times pass quickly, and the sun gradually sets.

The setting sun shone through a thin layer of clouds, and the light was a little dim.

The fat catfish swung its tail and dived, revealing its bright orange back.

Taotao held a large bucket in each of his arms and followed the "clay doll" Wen Shiyun happily. Awei lay on his head, always on guard against the presence of water snakes.

wow~
The dragon girl rolled up her trouser legs to her knees and sat down on the edge of the field. Her calves stirred up waves in the water, and the dark silt drifted away like a mist, as if a jade craftsman had used sandpaper to grind away the black stone skin, revealing the white soft jade inside.

Wash it clean.

Long Eying carried her shoes and socks in her hands and put on a pair of spare clogs.

Long Yao and Long Li stood on tiptoe and waved to the elders among the seedlings.

"Go! Stone!"

Liang Qu greeted.

Wen Shiyun, who was half-stuck in the rice field, took a difficult step. Wulong bit the corner of his clothes and helped to drag him ashore.

The mud is drying up.

The reflections of the water are gone, the people and otters are bathing in the orange light, and the black dog is standing on the edge of the field, wagging its tail and looking out.

Come back fully loaded.

"You are quite leisurely, kid."

"Uncle!"

Liang Qu put down his fishing rod and looked up to see Su Guishan lying on the second-floor balcony reading a book. He knew that he was here for dinner and probably heard from somewhere that they were going to eat eels today. "How long do you plan to be in Huangzhou?"

"On the way back and forth, staying here for ten days or half a month, and then visiting Bashui, Pengze, and Lushan, seventy or eighty days?"

Su Guishan put down the book.

"Seventy or eighty days? Why don't you just beg for your bones?"

"I haven't even reached adulthood yet, can I beg for my bones?"

"You write, and I'll review it for you!"

"Well, will you approve the leave?"

"How come you have made great progress in your golden body after not seeing you for two or three days?"

Liang Qu was shocked: "My uncle has mastered the pupil technique, how can he see this?"

"You have a golden body, and your face cannot be cut by a knife or pierced by an axe. Isn't that a great improvement?" Su Guishan sneered, lying down again and waving his hands, "Go find Xu Yuelong, it will be enough for him to approve it for you, there is no need to come to me, officials are all entitled to serious sick leave, no more than a hundred days will be enough."

"My uncle is mighty! Sooner or later he will rule the world! Let us enjoy five hundred more years of good wine and delicious food!"

After Liang Channel finished his congratulations, he went back to his room to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

Outside the kitchen.

The little otter sat on a bench to help, grabbed the spine with its claws, squeezed it, and tore it apart. The entire eel's spine was completely removed.

The clean eel meat is piled in the basin.

"Master!"

Guan Congjian walked through the gate and came in with a swagger, carrying two net bags of watermelons in his hands.

"Congjian, why are you here again?"

"Master, your martial arts skills have been sublimated. For such a big event, you should hold a ten-day banquet. Why have I only been here for a few days?"

"The Alchemy Bell Cover is not bad either." Liang Qu sighed.

Guan Congjian was puzzled: "What is the Golden Bell Cover?"

"It's okay. I told you last time, what's your master's decision? Do you want to go along? In half a month, my boat will be ready and I'll be leaving."

"Let's go together. My master is waiting for you to set a date. Anyway, it's better to go with you guys so that I can take care of you. I have already asked for leave in advance from the Monster Hunting Bureau."

"Okay, I'll call you when the time comes."

Stab it!

Hot oil is poured, the strong aroma of onion, ginger and garlic explodes, and the blanched eel shreds are served on the table.

Liang Qu clapped his hands.

"Uncle, it's time to eat!"

The days in the Liang family were fulfilling and busy.

The bustle in Daze never stops for a moment.

"Strange, it's been a long time since the Binghuo Day, why is it that the number of giant monsters near the shore has increased instead of decreased?"

Li Shoufu, the chief clerk of the Hebo Office, looked through the reports of the Hebo and the river chief over the past half month and found something strange.

Huang Pingchang asked: "Is anyone injured?"

"No, it's just that the number of villagers who have seen it is increasing. The entire county near the big lake in Pingyang Prefecture is like this. It's not just one or two, but a group. There are all kinds of monsters."

"Report it as soon as possible. We can't afford to take the consequences if something happens."

"Indeed."

early morning.

The three children were lying on the second floor of the west wing in the backyard, looking at the lake and the sky from the old toad's private seat.

The two from Uncle Chen's family, one of whom is Wen Shiyun, both love to play in the garden pond. They became friends as soon as they met the next day.

Click click click.

The three men rummaged through their chest pockets, which were filled with fried crispy eel bones, sprinkled with a handful of light salt, and ate them like snacks.

"Little Stone, let's go!"

"coming!"

Wen Shiyun tied the bag containing the eel bones tightly, said goodbye to his new friends, and jumped down over the railing.

Zhang Xu, who was under the eaves, hugged the child and took the other two children with him.

"It's already the third day. If you don't go back, the Crown Princess will be worried. Thank you, Liang Shuishi, for taking care of you." Zhang Xu said goodbye while holding the Crown Prince's hand.

"It's okay." Liang Qu held Wen Shiyun's head and ruffled her hair. "Shitou is my disciple. If I don't take care of him, who will? Bring him here to play when you have time. There are still many fun things to do in Jianghuai in autumn and winter."

Wen Shiyun grinned happily.

……

Late September.

The Aoki Fukusen rumbled into the water, splashing waves that overflowed onto the shore, and after a brief sway, it became stable.

"My lord, fortunately you have lived up to your fate!"
