At noon the next day, Tang County ordered to finish his official duties in a hurry, and hurriedly entered the back office, and the lady had already waited there excitedly, took the fishing rod, changed into civilian clothes, and took the handmaid Xia He and two Chang with him, a group of five people, out of the county office, out of the city and went straight to Artemisia Mountain.

After the Thunder Temple, I walked for a short time, turned a corner, came to Panshui, and saw the Taoist and Mr. Wang sitting there from a distance, but Liu Jing took off his robe, only wore a short coat, pulled up his trouser legs, stood in the water, one hand held the river bank, one hand touched in the stone crack, Han Xiaoniang squatted on the bank, put a wooden barrel beside her, saw Liu Qing touched the snails, river mussels thrown ashore, picked up and put them into the bucket, and looked at Liu Qing to touch there, and there was a nest of old eagle eggs at his feet.

Old Tang and the others have been dignitaries in the city since they were children, where have they seen this, they all surrounded them, and pointed around those wild things, and the maid Xia He picked up a big river mussel and looked at it for a while and asked, "Sister Yingzi, what is this." ”

"This one, it's called a river mussel, this one is just an old mussel, it's been ten years, and there may be pearls in it."

"Ah", Xia Lian's eyes lit up, holding the old clam and not letting go, thinking about how to get the beads into her hands.

Old Tang watched Liu Jing touch it for a while, and his heart was itching, so he took a pole and went fishing with his wife, while Han Ying pulled Xia Lian to go to Xiaohegou to touch the shrimp, and the two elders took a single place, glanced at each other, took off their shoes and socks, went down to the water, and followed Liu Jing to learn to touch the snail.

"Wrong dreams all day long, stealing half a day of leisure, sure enough!" Old Tang held the fishing rod and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that everyone was playing happily.

Mrs. nodded with a smile on the side, pondered for a while, and said to the husband: "Doesn't Xianggong hear that the icing on the cake is like sending charcoal in the snow, seeing that Liu Daochang is a fairy among the people, and the success is only now, Xianggong is not looking for an opportunity to bow to the Taoist at this time, let alone when." ”

Old Tang twisted his beard and smiled: "A good wife has good words, and she will choose the opportunity to act for her husband when she will be there."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw the seven stars drifting and sinking, and Lao Tang was busy lifting the fishing rod, but he took the shit luck and caught a golden soft-shelled turtle, and the happy two shouted loudly.

After playing for half a day, everyone has gained a lot, Liu Jing went ashore, saw that there were a lot of river mussels, washed them, took out the prepared charcoal, put the river mussels there to roast, and so the river mussels were roasted and opened their mouths, put in the garlic sauce, after a while, the aroma was overflowing, and took out a bottle of gold medal brandy from the backpack, beckoning everyone to eat together.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant!" Old Tang smelled the smell and exclaimed, and suddenly saw the bottle of brandy, "Immortal wine!! So he took the bottle and played with it, and all the eyes were on the wine, and they followed it intently.

After a long time, Lao Tang put down the wine and said sincerely: "Brother Qin and I hit it off early, and we met late. Liu Jing listened, happily agreed, the two immediately picked up the soil for incense, became brothers of the opposite sex, everyone came to congratulate when they saw it, and they ate and celebrated together.

The county order and his wife are both from official eunuchs, know good goods, take a sip of wine, close their eyes and savor it, open their eyes for a long time and praise: "The entrance is soft and sweet, but the wine is very mellow, so that there is no more wine in this world." ”

Sighing, taking a sip of wine, eating a garlic river mussel, the taste of great praise, the wine was half-drunk, Lao Tang looked left and right, only to find that there was no one missing today, and asked: "Why don't you see Brother Hou today?"

Mr. Wang replied: "The people of this county have lived a rich life and have been comfortable for a long time, and there are few brave warriors, and they are afraid that they will not be able to prevent the thieves, so they let Brother Hou go to Wohu Mountain to recruit troops early in the morning. ”

"Uh" Old Tang was happy: "That good man in the mountains wants to be outstanding!" ”

"Those people are all hunters in the mountains, they are quick to shoot, and they are the best at bows and arrows, but there may not be many people, and it would be good to have one or twenty people." Liu Jing replied.

"That's not bad, at least we're not afraid of the grass goof anymore." The county commander sighed and said, "Is it possible for the virtuous brother to recruit people elsewhere, or we will go to Culai Mountain to recruit those grass robbers." ”

Liu Jing shook his head: "The group of people in Culai Mountain are bandits who have been accumulating years, if they are recruited, they can only raise tigers, but the younger brother remembers that there is a group of heroes, and they are thinking about this matter these days." ”

"Brother Xian, come and listen!"

"That's right, in this Dongping Mansion, next to Liangshanbo, there is a village called Shijie Village, and now there are three good men, who are not very mixed, and they are dying of poverty, and there are hundreds of fishermen in his village, all of whom are brave people. If I don't go to the meeting today, I am afraid that I will be deceived in the future, and it will be a pity. ”

"Will they come?"

"Ha, it is said that those people have been more unlucky recently, the water pool was occupied by Wang Lun, and they were not allowed to fish, and the remaining puddles were also collected by the Dongping Mansion, and they still had to pay taxes for fishing, and now the situation is so miserable and miserable, you said that if I go to recruit them, give them a little leader, they will not come."

Old Tang stroked his palms and smiled: "Wonderful, the virtuous brother Ji An will come out?" ”

"When the time comes, they will move their entire village, so that they can return to their hearts, so a part of this wasteland should be left to build a new village, which happens to have a river here, and their life is convenient, and there is a wasteland, they can fish and farm."

"Okay, the virtuous brother is really high."

"It's just that the cost of building a house is probably very much, and the money raised should be kept for the fortune, saying, I want to get something here, take the time to go back, and then exchange for the treasures there to sell here, which should solve the problem of money and food."

"Brother Xian wants to go back?!" There was a strange light in Old Tang's eyes.

"I'm going to go back, but I'm busy this time, so I won't bring my eldest brother with me for now, and when I'm comfortable, I'll take my eldest brother to go shopping."

"Well, alas, that virtuous brother needs the help of the eldest brother."

"Yes"

"Then when my brother didn't say it, haha, okay, brother Xian said to take a look." Old Tang learned a lot from Liu Jing.

"Pick a few beautiful plates, bowls or something from your kitchen and give them to me, and I'll take them back and sell them for money."

"So easy?"

"Yes, I told you a long time ago, the ordinary things you have here are worth a lot of money when you get them to us, and vice versa, by the way, I heard that there is a kind of bowl called Ru kiln, you look to see if there is one at home."

"That's right," Old Tang thoughtfully said.

After the picnic, Lao Tang taught Liu Jing to learn to ride a horse, but who knew that the captured horse was a second goods, and Liu Jing couldn't control it, so he had to ride on the relatively docile big green mule, let the Taoist lead him, and walk slowly on the wasteland, while watching the old Tang ride a horse and have fun depressed.

"Haha, it turns out that the virtuous brother also has something that he can't do." Old Tang rode back with the reins, and was triumphant there.

"Cut, take the time to get a bike, you've got it." Liu Jing complained silently.

In the evening, Lao Tang brought the soft-shelled turtle back, saying that he would stew it and make up for it, and listen to his wife sing in the evening.
