The First Arrival Chapter 10: Aquatic and Turtles (2)
Lei Heng sighed, stepped forward and forcibly stuffed the pearl into Shui Sheng's hand, seeing that he was stubborn and still refused, he hurriedly explained: "If you want to marry a wife, you can't use this place as a new house." Take this bead as a dowry, and let your father-in-law help you buy a house in the county town with the extra ten gold. Nowadays, the ordinary house in the county is only about 30,000 yuan (three gold), and the slightly better ones are 4-80,000 yuan.
It's hard for you to fish, your income is not high, and you have to depend on the weather. You can't let your wife and children suffer, just come and help me do things, and you don't have to be slaves and slaves, just like ...... Just like the servants, they should go out to work. I will take 30% of your monthly salary as a repayment of debts, until I have enough ten gold. Wouldn't everyone be happy? ”
Lei Heng crackled and said, thinking that the conditions were generous enough, this guy should happily agree.
The aquatic life still had his head down, his eyes still struggling.
"Nima's, do it or not, give me a happy word."
Hearing this, Shui Sheng nodded slightly, but soon turned his head like a rattle.
"Can you talk about your concerns and your conditions at once! The eldest brother ...... "Lei Heng is powerless to persuade him."
Shui Sheng muttered in a low voice: "How much is the monthly salary?" ”
Lei Heng replied: "2,000 yuan a month, even if you only get seventy percent, it is enough for you to live for two people." ”
Nowadays, the price of hired workers in the yamen is about 1,500-2,000 yuan per month (not including room and board). In Linjiang County, the price of millet (yellow rice) is about 300 yuan per stone, and it only costs about 30 yuan for a person to eat a light meal at a restaurant. Lei Heng's current source of income is only the regular money (pocket money) given by the county commander's father, as well as the goods occasionally given by his mother Feng's family, and the average monthly income is only 5,000 yuan. Lei Heng is willing to pay 2,000 yuan a month to hire aquatic students, which is already a very high price.
"More than two, a total of four......" Shui Sheng's voice was even quieter.
"What, a group of four!" Lei Heng couldn't believe his ears, "Is it a widow with two oil bottles!" ”
"Hmm."
Lei Heng was so impressed that he actually gave a dowry of ten gold in order to marry a widow with two children. Aquatic, what's going on in your head?
"I am an orphan who lives to this day by fishing and catching shrimp for money. I thought I was miserable, but I didn't expect her to be even more miserable. Her father was an unscrupulous man, and in order to pay off his gambling debts, he sold her to another family as a child bride. She was only seven years old that year, and since then she has been beaten and tortured by her husband's family, even if she gave birth to twins, she has not changed at all. Last year, her husband died of illness, and her husband's family thought she was a husband and swept her out of the house alone. She was discouraged and wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river, but she was saved by me. Belch...... Duration...... That one...... That one...... I promised her that I would get the twins back for her, but her husband's family wanted ......"
"But it costs ten gold, right?" Lei Heng was both angry and ashamed when he heard this. There was such a thing under my father's rule, which made the bad guys so rampant and the good guys suffered.
"It can be seen that you want this big turtle very much, even at the cost of twenty gold." Shui Sheng handed over the big turtle to Lei Heng, "But she is a person, or three lives, definitely more than ten gold, right?" ”
Lei Heng's mind was all about the aquatic experience, and he subconsciously took the big turtle, immediately put it on the ground, and ordered the big white goose to go to fight.
"Why don't you report to the police?"
"Reporter? This kind of thing the government doesn't care! Shui Sheng smiled bitterly, "It has been like this since ancient times, life is the husband's family, death is the ghost of the husband's family, not to mention that her husband's family has a contract in hand, which can be described as justifiable." It's not the county's fault, and it's inconvenient for the county's lord to force the clutch. ”
"It's just infuriating!" Lei Heng argued.
"It's not so bad. I wanted to sneak into my husband's house and steal her two children and fly away with her. But there is no way to guide the survey, and there is no land to flee to a foreign country, and without this river, I can't support their mother and son! ”
"So, you take the risk of catching pearls and turtles and make as much money as possible......"
Aquatic laughed at himself, "Is there anything else I can do?" ”
"Why don't I ask my father to send a few handymen to accompany you to negotiate." Lei Heng was worried that the aquatic people would be lonely and would be bullied again.
Shui Sheng hesitated for a while, and finally nodded emphatically.
Finally convinced this stubborn man, Lei Heng breathed a long sigh of relief and turned his attention to the big turtle. I went, Lei Heng was stunned as soon as he turned his gaze.
The big white goose was bitten off by the turtle in several places, but looking at the big turtle, there was not a trace of scars on the body.
"Are you ashamed? Turtles that have been hungry for a few days can't fight. Lei Heng couldn't help but sycophant about the big white goose.
"You try. This guy seems to be slow, and the sudden attack is as fast as lightning. As soon as I was about to attack, it shrank into the shell, and I couldn't do anything about it! The big white goose jumped out of the battle circle and began to scream.
"Childe, are you talking to the white goose?" When Shui Sheng saw Lei Heng and the white goose, I said a word, and I couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Uh......" Lei Heng wasn't sure if he would tell the aquatic cause, or rather, that he hadn't found the slightest excuse to not reveal the secrets of the skill system and explain everything that had happened.
Seeing Lei Heng's speech, Shui Sheng turned to himself: "I have heard that some hunters and fishermen can recognize the words and deeds of animals. Some spirit beasts can also understand the orders of their masters. It seems that these rumors are probably true. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Lei Heng hurriedly followed Shui Sheng's words, "Shui Sheng, do you have a way to let this stupid goose defeat the big turtle?" ”
Shui Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "This big turtle moves more quickly than ordinary turtles, but it is not without shortcomings. It's easy to flip in the water, but it's not good on land, and the easiest and most direct way is to sneak around and take the opportunity to kick it in the ......air."
"That's right! Big stupid goose, do as he says! ”
"Who is stupid, you are stupid, your whole family is stupid!" The big white goose jumped on his feet in anger, "I can't understand what he is saying, how can I do it?" ”
"You don't understand what he's saying?" Lei Heng was surprised, and quietly asked the skill system, "What's going on?" ”
(Divine Persuasion): Most pets can only understand the instructions of their owners, unless they are special pets such as orangutans, dogs, cats, parrots, dolphins, etc., they can understand the instructions of many people.
So it was, Lei Heng had to repeat the words of the aquatic life.
The big white goose understood now and began to go around the back of the big turtle step by step.
But the big turtle is not stupid, as soon as he saw the monster who was still fighting with him just now, he turned behind him at this moment, and quickly exerted his strength on all four feet, and made a defensive posture in the face of the big white goose.
Seeing that the big turtle was on guard, the big white goose definitely couldn't attack it head-on, so he had to suddenly accelerate and run, trying to rush forward from the back to give it a volley shot before the big turtle reacted.
The big turtle quickly adjusted his posture again.
When the big white goose saw this, he was also discovered, and quickly trotted again...... The turtle then jumped in the opposite direction......
A goose and a turtle circle like this, but the big turtle almost circles in place, and the big white goose goes around in circles.
After countless laps, the turtle's movements began to slow down, and the big white goose seized the opportunity, ran closer, and then flew up and kicked the turtle in the abdomen.
The big white goose wanted to kick the big turtle as a ball, but its feet were not strong, and it was too tired to fight and run in circles.
The turtle was just kicked on its back, and it paddled all four feet hard, but it couldn't turn back.
Lei Heng saw the time and stepped forward (divine persuasion).
"Be my little brother, Dundun shrimp and crab, and let you find a chance to take revenge in the future."
The (Skill System) :(Holy Persuasion) bug has been fixed. Pet deaths will no longer deduct skill experience. To compensate, a pet victory in a battle increases the chance of taming three times to 100%. After three sessions, it will return to normal levels.
(Divine Persuasion): Tame success. Big Turtle (Elite), 40 #4, Attack 9-20, Intelligence 4.
(Divine Persuasion): Collected 5 pets (goose, snake, shrimp, crab, turtle), skill level 2, skill experience 85/200.
"I'm hungry...... I'm sleepy...... I'm thirsty ......"
Lei Heng finally heard the call of the big turtle, and hurriedly asked the aquatic life to find some shrimp and crabs, and he found a wooden bucket full of water, and let the big turtle swim.
"How are you going to place this guy?" Seeing Lei Heng's nervousness, the big white goose was a little worried about his status as the king of the other courtyards.
"Why are you pursuing so low? Only a few chickens and ducks in the other courtyard? Lei Heng immediately understood the big white goose's thoughts, "You two can fight amphibiously, and you are my right-hand man." The other courtyard still takes you as the king, and the river is where the big turtle comes in! ”
The big white goose nodded when he heard this, and said, "Hyper...... The world is so big, I want to see it too! ”
"Haha...... Take you there! Take you there! ”
"I'm afraid this guy is going to sleep for a while, and your treasure hunt will have to be postponed again!"
"Forget it, you're tired too, take a half-day holiday. Come back tomorrow for a treasure hunt. "It's rare for Lei Heng to be so generous.
"Hyperactivity...... Oye......"
After the aquatic brought back the shrimp and crabs and threw them to the big turtle for a full meal, Lei Heng picked up the big white goose, and the aquatic carried the burden and rushed back to the other courtyard together.
As for the big turtle, after confirming that there were no natural predators nearby, Lei Heng released it back into the river and told it to hide it carefully.
******************************
The two of them walked to the other courtyard by a goose, and when they reached the back street of the road, they encountered a group of miscellaneous servants fighting the autumn wind.
The so-called fighting the autumn wind is not really whipping the autumn wind, but this group of people is relying on the identity of miscellaneous servants, swaggering and deceiving in the name of the imperial court, and extorting money.
Lei Heng knew that the leader was Zhao Hu, the head catcher, and the people present were also his miscellaneous servants.
Lei Heng motioned to the big white goose to lead the aquatic life to take the luggage and take a step forward, take a look here and then chase after him.
Zhao Hu sat on the bench and said slowly: "Li Laohan, you are in arrears for half a year." You must hand it in today, or the brothers won't go back empty-handed! ”
Li Laohan cried with a sad face, and said bitterly: "Master Tiger, the old man has relied on this mill to earn a little hard-earned money, and he has always been law-abiding, and he has never defaulted on various tax assessments. But I've never heard of paying a regular fee......"
Zhao Hu sneered: "There was no before, it doesn't mean that there will be no in the future." This case of money is also ordered by the imperial court, if you don't pay it, you will be against the imperial court, but you want to rebel? ”
"Little old man will never dare! It's just that most of the shops on this street didn't pay this money, why do they have to pay the little old man's family......" Li Laohan was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Zhao Hu and begged for mercy, "There has been no announcement from the county government on this matter, presumably the county lord will be considerate of me and other good people if he knows about it!" ”
"This matter was apportioned by the county guard, and the county lord personally approved it, if there is anything, you go to the county and go to Jiangzhou!" Zhao Hu smiled, and then continued impatiently, "Pay the money quickly, you have to go back to pay the errand!" ”
When Lei Heng heard this, his lungs exploded. Damn, in the name of my father, blackmail the people, you take the benefits, and my father and son will carry the black pot!
Lei Heng couldn't help but rush up to drink, but he was worried that he would be weak, so he couldn't help but hesitate for a while, comforting himself to look at the situation again.
