Chapter 18 The Foodie Golden Retriever

Packing the fish caught in the last net into several buckets containing the same species, Wu Dao finally focused on the large trout-shaped fish that were still struggling in the net.

There are seven red fish caught in this net, the largest one is estimated to be more than ten catties, and the smallest one is estimated to be five or six catties. The sum of these fish alone is estimated to be forty or fifty catties. If you follow the price of the fish in the market, Wu Dao can earn thousands of yuan or even higher prices for these fish alone.

It's just that these few similar trout that were finally fished up, Wu Dao came to the conclusion after careful observation that although the body shape and appearance of this fish are similar to the rainbow trout and golden trout on the market now. But it could be said that it was another species of trout, and from the memories of Venerable Grass and Trees, he was surprised to find memories about this fish.

This is a species of fish that lives in a low temperature environment for many years, and according to the name of the Venerable Herb, this fish is called the Ice Fish, and during the period when the Venerable Herb and Tree lived, this fish was also called the Dragon Fish. Because the pattern on the body of this fish is indeed very special, some of which are similar to the patterns when people carved dragons.

This kind of ice-streaked fish was a rare delicacy during the period of the Venerable Grass and Trees, and you can imagine how precious this fish is, but the environment in which this fish grows is relatively special. Normally, it is only caught in some hidden deep valley underground lakes, and even Venerable Grass and Wood has only heard of and tasted this fish a few times.

Thinking that this fish was a good thing that was rare for cultivators, Wu Dao's first reaction was to make a fortune. This lake is so big, there are definitely not so many such fish, if he can breed this kind of fish in the contracted pond, it is conceivable that it will be very profitable.

Seeing a few trout that were still jumping around just now, it seemed that the last strength was about to struggle at this time, Wu Dao hurriedly put a few fish into the only empty vat of the Yuling Bead. Of course, in order to compensate for the luck of sprinkling the net just now, Wu Dao picked out the smallest dragon trout and prepared it to be grilled and eaten. Although he also knew that this fish would eat one less fish, as long as there was this fish in the lake, it would not be bad for him.

Wu Dao, who said that he would do it, took out the knife prepared in the mountain to clean up this fish that might be of extraordinary value, found some dry branches from the nearby mountain forest, and lit a fire by the lake to prepare for a barbecue.

Wu Dao, who often went into the mountains to hunt with his uncle when he was a child, also has a little-known barbecue technique, although he brings some simple seasonings with him in the mountains today. But as the seasoning sprinkled on the fish body, the fragrance emitted by this trout made Wu Daodu a little tempted to swallow it in one gulp.

Fortunately, he knew that although the fish was fragrant, it was definitely not fully cooked after being grilled for such a short time, so he could only hold back the craving in his heart, and carefully flipped the body of the fish to avoid burning the fish.

When a fish with an attractive fragrance and golden color was taken in his hand, Wu Dao was a little reluctant to tear off a small piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth. The endless fragrance that filled his mouth and the feeling of melting in his mouth made him unable to resist taking a big bite anymore.

Just as Wu Dao was about to take out the rice balls and settle lunch on this grilled fish, he suddenly noticed a mouse appear in his sight. It's just that what makes Wu Dao depressed is that this mouse seems to be a breed he has never seen before, maybe this mouse is more like a squirrel.

But the tail of the squirrel in this mountain is a little bigger than the mouse in front of him, and the coat color of this mouse is pale yellow, no matter how you look at it, you can feel that this mouse looks a little different.

What surprised Wu Dao the most was that the rat was standing on the ground a few meters in front of him, standing with two small short legs, and his whole body was upright. The two front legs also make a pouting motion from time to time, and this expression looks like a child who has been hungry for delicious food. It's just that I don't know if I'm afraid of being hurt, this mouse stayed a few meters in front of Wu Dao and didn't dare to approach, but the two small eyes stared at the roasted fish, and from time to time used the two front legs to wipe their mouths.

If the person sitting in front of the little mouse at this time is a girl, she will definitely be attracted to this beautiful and somewhat cute mouse, because the mouse seems to be a bit humanized. This fluffy and cute little creature is a temptation that no girl can resist.

Wu Dao didn't know what kind of mentality it was, so he said to the mouse who couldn't see the way: "You want to eat fish?" ”

While speaking, he pointed to the fish in his hand, and what made him almost jump up was that after listening to Wu Dao's question, the mouse made a movement that seemed to understand the words, and the little head clicked desperately a few times, and even the two little short legs arched towards Wu Dao.

This rat is too wicked!

When he had already determined in his heart that this rat was not a mortal thing, and it was likely to be a spirit beast that was rare now, Wu Dao said with a longing face: "Then if you come over, I will share it with you!" ”

Unexpectedly, the little mouse didn't buy Wu Dao's seemingly well-intentioned proposal at all, and just repeated the longing eyes and movements just now.

Seeing that there was no way to fool the little mouse to his side, Wu Dao finally felt that this little guy was a little cute and a little pitiful, so he tore a piece of grilled fish and threw it to the little mouse to follow, but the little mouse squatted on the ground very neatly, and ate the grilled fish clean.

After eating, he seemed to be very satisfied and touched his little belly, and stood up again to stare at the grilled fish in Wu Dao's hand, as if he still wanted to taste this delicious grilled fish.

Next, Wu Dao felt that the nearly five catties of grilled fish were really a bit choking to eat by himself, so he didn't be stingy and gave a small half to this little mouse. Looking at the nearly two catties of roasted fish meat and the last fish bones, they were swallowed by this little mouse into its inconspicuous little belly. Wu Dao was very skeptical that this rat would have indigestion after eating so much grilled fish.

After finishing lunch, Wu Dao didn't stay at the lake for long before he was ready to pack up his things and go home, and today's water removal work finally made him reach the long-awaited third-order qi entrainment period. Next, let's see how many good things this cheap master keeps for him.

Cultivating in this kind of end-of-law era is really an extremely painful thing, and if you can get some elixir left by the Venerable Herbs and Trees, maybe the speed of this cultivation can also be accelerated.

After extinguishing the fire with water, Wu Dao found that the little mouse that had eaten well did not leave, staring at Wu Dao's every move, as if he felt very funny, shaking his little brain from time to time.

Knowing that although this little mouse was cute, he still had a certain degree of vigilance against himself, and Wu Dao did not drive it away. On the contrary, when he left, he said to the little mouse: "Xiaojin, I'm going home!" We'll see you next time! You also go home early and go! ”

After saying this, Wu Dao got up and walked on the path home, just when he thought that the rat would go home after staying by the lake for a while. When he occasionally looked back, he found the little mouse leisurely following the path not far behind him. It's just that as soon as he stopped, the little mouse also stopped his progress carefully.

If Wu Dao turned around and approached him, the little mouse would be the first to run into the grass on the side of the road. After Wu Dao continued to move forward, it hung not far behind him, as if it was planning to go home with Wu Dao.

After knowing that there was no way to get rid of this gluttonous rat and no way to catch it, Wu Dao finally decided to ignore it, anyway, it would follow it if it liked! It's not what I forced, I believe that if you follow where you live, this guy will always leave.

But until Wu Dao returned to his bamboo building, the little mouse just stayed at the door and looked, and then quickly ran up to the roof of the bamboo building. It seemed that he knew that this was Wu Dao's residence, and after the little guy wandered around the bamboo building, he finally lay down in the corner of the upper beam of the room not far from Wu Dao's room.

Seeing that this guy sleeps with little ears pricked up, Wu Dao suddenly felt that it was not a good thing to have such a cute little thing as a neighbor with him.

Because the bamboo building was built and the local chickens to be raised in the forest, Wu Dao had already moved to the bamboo building to eat, and the uncle who originally planned to live here. In the end, he couldn't stand the worries of the two uncles, so he stayed in the old courtyard of the village. This also means that these two bamboo buildings are currently only inhabited by Wu Dao.

After returning to the village to report his safety to his parents, Wu Dao carried a bag of rice from his home into the forest, and fed the local chickens that were already able to eat rice. He didn't care if the chickens would enter the chicken coop at night, and went back to the bamboo building to prepare dinner by himself.

In fact, the reason why he didn't care about those local chickens was that after Wu Dao observed them for a while, he found that these local chickens would not run around at night. Except for a few little roosters who are usually mischievous and like to stay outside the chicken coop overnight, the vast majority of chickens will still know the chicken coop by themselves, and there is no need for Wu Dao to catch up.

This made Wu Dao feel very pleased, except for regularly feeding them, he rarely observed the survival of these chicks. After all, these chicks have been raised until now, and no loss or illness has been found. In this way, Wu Dao was naturally happy to let them survive on their own!

For dinner in the evening, Wu Dao fried a home-cooked vegetarian dish, and picked a black fish from Yuling Pearl. Naturally, he was satisfied with eating, but the only thing that made him unhappy was that when the meal was served, the little mouse smelled the fragrance and squatted on the other side of the dining table and watched with his eyes.

It wasn't until Wu Dao picked out half of the black fish and put it not far in front of him, that after the little guy finished eating, he slapped his mouth and slept on the beam of the house. It seems that it is normal for it to eat the food cooked by Wu Dao.

It's just that every time Wu Dao wants to get closer, the little guy must run away as soon as possible, and he won't give Wu Dao a chance to touch it at all. This made Wu Dao's good impression of the little guy dissipate a lot at once. After all, this kind of tenant who eats for nothing and doesn't pay rent, doesn't the owner hate it?
