After eating, Liu Deqing took the fish miscellaneous that his mother had packed up and came to the town, Cotton Town.
Cotton Town, which occupies a small area, is a small town.
The east of the town leans on the East Mountain, the East Mountain is the more famous mountain of the cotton town, the forest on the mountain is verdant, the strange rocks are craggy, there is a reservoir, it is called the Seven Star Lake, there are a lot of calligraphy of the megaliths on the mountain, there is the name of the natural calligraphy museum.
The west of the town is close to the West Mountain, there is a famous rock in the West Mountain, named the ancient rock of the West Mountain, the tall trees on both sides of the ancient rock rise from the ground, a green mountain stone road in the middle is swaying straight up, the small bridge in the rock flows water, the heavy mountain rockery, the temple hall, the beauty is magnificent.
The north of the town is close to the North Mountain, the North Mountain is also called the Bandit Mountain by the townspeople, the scale of the North Mountain is larger than the East Mountain and the West Mountain combined, the whole mountain is long and narrow from north to south, the landform is complex, the mountain is either a cliff or a cliff, it is possible to fall down the mountain cliff if you are not careful, and the natural easy to defend and difficult to attack the place is also advantageous.
There is a village on the north mountain, called Black Wind Village.
If you look down from the top of Dongshan Mountain, Cotton Town only occupies a small plain in the middle of the three mountains, the south of the town is surrounded by the sea, and the townspeople call Cotton Town Belly in oral language, and belly is the meaning of a small place.
There is a moat interspersed in the town, the river is ten meters wide, and the willow trees are planted on both sides of the river, the willow branches hang down in the river, and there are rows of marble piers on both sides of the river for people to rest and rest.
The more famous in the town is a historic site, called Wenguang Tower, Wenguang Tower is seven floors high, it is the highest building in the town, the history of Wenguang Tower is built in which era can not be examined, it is said to be built to commemorate a certain big man.
There are many accommodations in the town, including restaurants, inns, restaurants and so on.
The town is full of people, people coming and going, endlessly.
The sounds of hawking in the town fluctuate with each other, and the streets are full of dazzling colors, and it is very prosperous.
Liu Deqing came to the Seven Joy Inn.
Seven Joy Inn is a better inn in the town, the inn occupies a large area, the building is two floors high, the downstairs belongs to the hall type, the space is very wide, there are a lot of tables, only to see a table next to another table, upstairs is a compartment and a seat, although the compartment and the seat are not as noisy as downstairs, but the reservation of a meal has to be charged separately.
It's so lively! It's so lively every time I come!
Liu Deqing came to the door of the inn, the inn was full of people, very messy, maybe because it was time to eat, so now the inn is very lively.
"Little Er, let's have a bowl of beef noodles." A farmer who had just walked into the inn from the door said
"Little Er, come and clean up the table." A fortune teller shook the fan in his hand, looked at the question, and said.
"Little Er, please add some soup." A white reader said.
"Xiao Er, come to the catty of liquor, the liquor should be strong."
The few people sitting at the table next to the Jianghu Warlock were all ruffians from the town, and one of them, a big man with a scar on his face, said, and looked at the door with a wicked smile on his face.
Liu Deqing walked into the inn and went straight to the counter of the inn, only to see a white-bearded but ruddy uncle on the counter was busy playing the abacus on the counter, and the uncle's gesture was so fast that it was dazzling.
"Uncle Li, what about the reckoning?"
Liu Deqing had been to Qixi Inn with his father a few times before, so he knew that the uncle in front of him was surnamed Li, so he greeted him.
Uncle Li raised his lowered head and carefully looked at the extraordinarily tall guy in front of him, but the abacus in his hand was still calculating quickly.
Uncle Li looked at Liu Deqing as if he was thinking, and after a while, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Oh~~ You're Lao Liu's son, right? Lao Yu and Lao Liu are also old friends, have you been to Lao Liu a few times before, right? I vaguely remember your name is Deqing, right? ”
Uncle Li is not only enthusiastic but also has a good memory, and he remembered my name after only seeing a few faces, and Liu Deqing was very happy.
"Uncle Li, you have a really good memory, the junior is indeed called Deqing, and he is the son of Lao Liu."
Liu Deqing saw that Uncle Li still remembered him, scratched his head with his hand, and said happily.
"Deqing, where is your father? Why didn't you come this time? Uncle Li asked casually.
"My dad can't come here because he's busy." Liu Deqing replied briefly.
"Is there anything you want to help me with when I come to the old shop?" Uncle Li asked straight to the point.
"I caught a big fish in the lake, and my mother asked me to come to Uncle Li, because I wanted to sell the fish offal to Uncle Li's inn."
Liu Deqing said as he pulled out the packed fish fat, fish intestines and fish viscera, and presented them one by one in front of Uncle Li.
Uncle Li fixed his eyes and looked at the fish fat in front of him, which was four or five palms big, and was suddenly stunned.
How big does this fish have to be to have such a big fish fat, and this fish intestine is really big and thick!
Uncle Li was full of shock, looked up at Liu Deqing, and said with a smile: "Deqing, what kind of fish is this?" How big is it? ”
Liu Deqing looked at Uncle Li's shocked appearance and was happy in his heart, because this beast is indeed terrifyingly big, if it weren't for his luck, this beast would kill himself, otherwise he might be the one who died.
"It's a big osmanthus fish, almost two people as tall and so big." Liu Deqing replied truthfully.
"It's really a hero who is a few people." Uncle Li praised: "It should have taken a lot of effort to get it, right?" After complimenting, he asked.
"Yes, it took a lot of effort to get there." Liu Deqing didn't pretentiously either, and said normally.
Uncle Li's heart suddenly turned up a stormy wave, with his whole life experience, he can deduce the danger of hunting this big fish, but the guy dares to hunt this fish king single-handedly, and the success of which is less than one in ten, which seems to account for a large part of luck, but luck is also divided, this should not be said to be brave, but selfless.
Uncle Li was stunned for a while and then said, "Deqing, wait a minute, let my old man estimate how much these fish offals are worth first?" ”
"Okay, Uncle Li, can you estimate how much these fish offal can be worth?" Liu Deqing replied.
…………
The inn is the most crowded and chaotic place.
There are all kinds of people, those who go south and north, those who cross the river with raptors, those who are three religions and nine streams, all kinds of people, as well as local ordinary people and local ruffians and hooligans in the market, and so on.
Among them, gossip, gossip, and all kinds of miscellaneous words are floating all over the sky, and it is also the most well-informed place of news.
"Last night, the old lady of the town went to Yihong Courtyard to drink flower wine and was known by the old lady of the town, the old lady of the town is notoriously afraid of his wife, and he was punished by the old lady of the town to kneel all night."
"In the morning, the black kidnapper went to peek at the white widow next door taking a bath, and was found by the white widow, the white widow is a widow, yes, her husband died early, but his husband has several brothers, and the white widow was frightened and angry and went to tell his husband's brothers."
"And then?"
"Listen to me, his husband is the eldest and has loved his younger brothers since he was a child, and the younger brothers have always respected the eldest brother and sister-in-law, their eldest brother died early, and someone bullied their sister-in-law."
The speaker deliberately hung the appetite of the person who was listening, and drank the saliva.
"You're going to keep talking!"
"Hehe~~ A few of their brothers immediately beat the black crutch with a wooden stick, and one of them also broke a flat pole, fortunately the black crutch ran fast, otherwise the other leg would have to be crutched."
"Have you heard? He and Mu are on the bar, He Guo waved 100,000 troops to attack Mu Guo, and Mu Guo is gathering troops to resist He's attack. ”
"I think Mu Guo will definitely lose this battle, because He Guo is Lu Jianxun, who sent the material of a domestic general, on the other hand, Mu Guo was caught off guard and is struggling to resist."
"What about the first-class general of the Mu Kingdom, Lu Minyu? Why don't you send it to meet it? ”
"Lu Minyu is fighting against the Moon Country in the north of the Wood Country, so he can't be transferred.
"How can you say that you can fight when you fight?" ”
"According to the grapevine, it was Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess who went to Heguo to make peace with Mu Guo mysteriously disappeared at the junction of He Country and Mu Country, and until now I have not been able to find the figure of Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, He Guo thought that Mu Guo was playing Heguo, so he waved his army south to attack Mu Guo."
"I'm afraid Mu Guo won't be able to eat this time, so I'll leave in a circle."
…………
"Uncle Li, how much do you think these fish offals are worth?"
Liu Deqing looked at Uncle Li, who was quiet and didn't say a word, just staring blankly at the fish fat, and asked.
"Oh, I was thinking about some accounts just now, and I was negligent." After Uncle Li finished speaking, he took out a bag of silver from the drawer under the counter, nodded it, handed it to Liu Deqing, and said, "It's worth this bag of money." ”
Liu Deqing took the money bag handed over by Uncle Li and looked at it, then put the money bag in his pocket, and said goodbye to Uncle Li after putting it away:
"Thank you Uncle Li, I still have something to do, I still have to go to the rice store to buy rice, go first, and come to visit you next time."
"Now that there is a shortage of wars and wars everywhere, remember to be cautious and pay attention to safety." Uncle Li said to Liu Deqing.
Old man Li has seen a lot of murder and money robbery in his life.
"I know this, Uncle Li, you continue to be busy, don't bother you when you're old, I'll go first." Liu Deqing left the counter after finishing speaking, and walked towards the door of the inn.
When Liu Deqing was walking past the table of the Jianghu Warlock, the Jianghu Warlock stopped his hand, looked at Liu Deqing, and immediately put on a look of a master outside the world, and said to Liu Deqing:
"Young man, poor Taoist temple, your Yin Hall is black, your eyes are blank, I am afraid that something bad will happen, I advise you, find a place to hide first, and then go home."
Liu Deqing raised his eyes to look at the Jianghu Warlock, and saw that the Jianghu Warlock was wearing a Taoist uniform, holding a whisk in his hand, and he had a Taoist demeanor.
Liu Deqing sneered, shook his head, secretly cursed the "magic stick", ignored the warlock, and strode out of the inn.
I saw that the next moment Liu Deqing walked out of the inn, a few ruffians and hooligans at the table next to the Jianghu Warlock hurriedly settled the account and followed out of the inn.
Hey~~ Business is coming.
Since Liu Deqing walked to the counter, they have been secretly staring at Liu Deqing.
When they saw Liu Deqing take out the fish offal from the bag and give it to Old Man Li to look at, they knew that business was coming, and then they saw Old Man Li take a bag of silver and hand it to Liu Deqing, they knew that the business was done, so they saw Liu Deqing out of the inn and immediately followed.
Uncle Li, who was at the counter, also saw this scene, immediately put down the work in his hand, looked at the Jianghu Warlock, nodded at the Jianghu Warlock, and then skimmed his gaze to the door, and then looked at the Jianghu Warlock.
I saw the Jianghu Warlock pouting towards the door, closed his eyes and shook his head, then looked at Old Man Li, and then lowered his head and continued to eat his food.
Old man Li looked at the Jianghu Warlock Nu with his eyes closed and shook his head, relieved in his heart, and continued to calculate his accounts.
