The First Arrival Chapter 9: Aquatic and Turtles (1)

After putting away the purse and pearls given by Yan Shuxiang, Lei Heng found an opportunity to sneak out of the courtyard.

It's not okay not to act secretly.,Xiao Di has simply become his own tail.,You have to follow everywhere you go.,Not to mention a good thing like going out to play.。 Lei Heng didn't dare to let her know, otherwise he would have to go together noisily. That pear blossom brought rain down, I am afraid that I will have to disarm and surrender again, and the treasure hunt plan cannot be delayed any longer!

Lei Heng first arranged a comfortable hibernation nest for the bamboo leaf green girl, and then took advantage of the bright sky, picked up the big white goose in his arms, and trotted all the way to the river.

"Find out which sandbar it is."

Lei Heng put down the big white goose and couldn't wait to urge.

The big white goose led Lei Heng to look left and right along the river bank, and finally found the sandbar that the big white goose said in the river (Yangtze River). Although it is said that the river is dry in winter, the section of the river is also about 800 meters wide and more than 100 meters deep. Nearly 100 meters offshore, the sandbar is a small sandstone island with a radius of less than 10 square meters, and the highest point is about one meter above the river.

Lei Heng leaned over to test the current, but it was not particularly cold, and he couldn't see a trace of turbulence. He nodded, and ordered the big white goose: "Go and catch some turtle crabs!" ”

The big white goose hurriedly went into the water and carefully searched along the riverbank.

(Life Detection): Big White Goose, 37 #3, Attack 5-15, Intelligence 4.

Lei Heng waited for the news of the big white goose while thinking about a way to get the treasure.

Yes, it shouldn't be difficult to find the treasure, at most it will take more time. But how to get these iron boxes weighing thousands of catties, or even tens of thousands of catties, out of the river is a big problem. Moreover, all this cannot be fanfare and be unaware. Otherwise, everyone knows that these treasures not only do not belong to them, but may also cause a lot of trouble.

As the sun gradually rose, the big white geese went ashore again and again, and brought back a lot of shrimp and crabs. Lei Heng tried to tame them one after another, but he succeeded in three shrimps and five crabs.

(Life Detection): Shrimp, 34 #1, Attack 2-5, Intelligence 2.

(Life Detection): Crab, 35 #1, Attack 3-10, Intelligence 3.

(Divine Persuasion): Current skill level 2, experience 45/200.

Lei Heng sent these shrimps and crabs back to the river in one go, and ordered them to go to investigate the treasure.

I waited for a long time, but I didn't hear any feedback. Lei Heng was so anxious that he shouted to the big white goose stationed on the river: "Big white goose, let the shrimp and crab feedback the progress quickly!" ”

"Hyperactivity...... A crab reported that just now a big turtle rushed over, and Shrimp 1 and Shrimp 2 were eaten by it! Shrimp No. 3 was washed away by the current! It hid in the aquatic weeds and escaped, but it couldn't move......"

"Hyperactivity...... The second group of crabs is in the process of diving...... Recently, the crab reported that it hadn't seen the reef yet......"

It's all fucking rubbish! Lei Heng is angry and doesn't fight anywhere.

(Divine Persuasion): Current skill level 1, experience 0/100.

What is the situation, after a while, the skill will be downgraded and the experience will be cleared?

(Divine Persuasion): The latest news, a total of 3 shrimps, 2 crabs died, and 516 skill experience is deducted. Skill level is reduced to level 1, and experience points are reset to zero.

Damn, how do people play with such system rules? Just die a pet, and everything is in vain? It's okay to just always level 1, don't talk about upgrades, don't upgrade these useless.

(Divine Persuasion): The rules are like this. The system self-test has been submitted for repair, so stay tuned.

……

Lei Heng was helpless, but he was unwilling to do nothing, so he had to order the big white goose to continue to catch bigger fish and turtles, and at the same time dig holes to find pets such as water snakes.

The sun is up, and the sky is bright. Boats began to pass by on the river, and there were occasional pedestrians passing by on the shore.

Lei Heng searched all the way, and unconsciously walked a few miles downstream, and walked near a fishing village, where several fishermen were packing up their fishing gear by the river while basking in the sun and chatting.

"Damn, it's so unlucky, I laid three nets last night, and I didn't catch a single fish. There is almost no rice in the house......"

"yes, so is my family. Only catch some small fish and shrimp, it is worth a few bucks! ”

"Eh, aquatic, what about you? You have the best water in the village, have you sown the harvest? ”

The man named Shui Sheng replied shyly: "I was holding a big turtle." I just haven't sold it for days......"

"The big turtle is not easy to sell, ordinary people can't afford to pay the price if they have less meat, and when the rich and noble can't use it, they are troublesome......"

"That's it! It is! That guy is fierce and cunning, and he can catch a net of fish with the effort of catching one, which is not cost-effective! ”

"Shuisheng, you might as well go to the back kitchen of the old man's house such as the county zun and the county cheng to ask, maybe they can use the ...... for the banquet."

Aquatic just smiled and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, everyone felt bored, and successively packed up and returned home, leaving only Shui Sheng alone still picking up by the river.

Lei Heng hurriedly stepped forward to talk.

"I heard that Brother Shui is the best water-based here?"

"I don't know."

"I heard that Brother Shui recently caught a big turtle?"

"Yes."

"Still alive, right?"

"Alive."

"Haven't you sold it yet?"

"Yes."

"I'm going to buy it."

"Ten gold."

What, a big turtle you shout for ten gold. Lei Heng looked at the aquatic life like a madman, and he had gradually figured out the prices here.

If you buy and sell poultry whole, it costs about 4,000-8,000 for a cow, 600-1,800 for a pig, and 300-500 for a sheep. If a butcher cuts meat and sells it for nothing, a pound of beef costs about 20 yuan, a pound of pork costs about 15 yuan, and a pound of mutton costs about 14 yuan.

Regardless of the gold of the Eastern Han Dynasty, one gold is really a pound of gold. And one gold is about 10,000 yuan, that is, a big turtle costs ten gold, and it costs almost twenty or thirty cows to sell itself, so do you really think you are wronged?

"Are you sure your big turtle sells for ten gold?" Lei Heng confirmed again, worried that he had heard it wrong.

"Sure."

……

"Is it worth it?"

"Value."

"Can't you just say a few more words?"

"Not familiar."

Lei Heng saw that the time was not early, and the big white goose also followed, shaking his head, signaling that he had found nothing.

"Ten gold is ten gold." Lei Heng gritted his teeth and said, "However, I want to inspect the goods first!" ”

"Yes. Just keep it at home, not far away. The aquatic life agreed, turned his head and walked away.

Lei Heng hugged the big white goose and followed.

******************************

The two of them rushed to the "home" that Shui Sheng said, and Lei Heng was immediately stunned.

This is nothing more than a natural cave.

The huge stone on the top is like an open umbrella, and the bottom is supported by several thick wooden stakes, and there is a bed, a stove, and a pot in it, and it becomes a home for aquatic life in the cliff cave.

Seeing Lei Heng's surprise, Shui Sheng seemed to have been accustomed to it, and went to the stone cave next to him to take out the big turtle.

(Life Detection): Big Turtle (Elite), 40 #4, Attack 9-20, Intelligence 4.

(Life Detection): Lei Heng, Commander 19, Force 27, Intelligence 40, Politics 39, Four-Dimensional Sum 124.

As soon as he saw the big turtle caught by the water, Lei Heng felt that this guy was not ordinary. The fluttering energy, as well as the posture of the mouth to bite, all prove that it is not a good stubble.

"I haven't caught any fish or shrimp in recent days, and I've been starving it for a few days in a hole." Aquatic explained.

Good boy, hungry like this, still so fierce, big white goose, can you fight it? Lei Heng was quite worried in his heart, the big turtle is a level 40 pet, and his politics is currently only 39 points, direct persuasion will definitely not succeed, and he has to rely on the big white goose pet to defeat the battle and take the opportunity to tame it.

"Alright! I'm going to have this big turtle. You will go to the county office with me in a while to get ......"

When Shui Sheng heard this, he hurriedly grabbed the big turtle and took a few steps back, "One hand of money, one hand of turtle, should not be in arrears." ”

"Jokes. My dignified county commander, will I rely on you for ten gold? I really didn't have that much cash with me! "Lei Heng originally planned to come out to do business, so naturally he didn't bring money with him.

"No, no. You have to give me money now, you don't have the money to take the turtle away! Shui Sheng guarded the big turtle while staring at Lei Heng vigilantly.

Lei Heng had no choice but to touch his body to see if there was anything valuable that could be mortgaged to him.

"Or, this piece of peiyu." Lei Heng touched the jade pendant on his waist, quickly took it off and handed it to Shui Sheng.

Shui Sheng didn't stretch out his hand, "I don't know jade, don't change it." ”

"Or, this robe." Lei Heng felt that the clothes on his body should be worth a lot of money, and wanted to make up for it temporarily.

"It's not worth ten gold."

Lei Heng had no choice but to take out the purse in his arms and take out the pearl.

"How's this pearl?"

Shui Sheng stared at the pearl for a long time before finally answering, "Top-grade, very valuable." ”

Lei Heng hurriedly suggested, "Before, I ...... My friend estimated it at twenty gold, and how about you and I swap it with this pearl?

"Not good, this turtle is worth ten gold at most."

Lei Heng said with a smile: "The extra ten gold should be given to Brother Shuisheng." ”

"It's not good, the boy is useless!"

You...... Lei Heng couldn't wait to pry open this person's head to see what kind of ideological logic this was. A big turtle dared to ask for ten gold, and he was willing to exchange twenty gold pearls, but he refused again.

"Let's just think this pearl is only worth ten gold! Hurry up and trade, I'm in a hurry to ......"

"Don't make money."

Lei Heng smiled bitterly and patiently persuaded: "No one knows, no one will trouble you!" ”

"God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know."

"Take this pearl and sell it to me." Lei Heng finally became angry, "Two plans." Either you will make up ten more gold for me in the future, or you will help me work again to pay the bill. ”

Shui Sheng seemed to move, and Lei Heng even saw the struggle in his eyes.

"Nope." After a while, Shui Sheng still shook his head and refused.

Lei Heng hurriedly asked the reason, "Why?" ”

"I don't have that much money!"

"If you go and catch a big turtle again, I will still count you ten gold."

Shui Sheng shook his head and said, "This kind of big turtle must be in the right place at the right time, and it is difficult to catch it in a hurry. Probably, I won't be able to catch a second one in my life. ”

"If you can't catch it, forget it, I said I don't want you to return it."

"Don't lie to it."

Lei Heng suggested again: "Then work to offset the account!" ”

"Never sell yourself into slavery!"

"Why?"

"I want to earn money to support my family, and I don't want my children and grandchildren to be poor. If you are slaves, your children will also be enslaved. ”

Lei Heng seemed to have an understanding, and asked slowly: "Do you have a crush on someone's girl, and her mother's family wants ten gold as a dowry?" ”

"Ah...... How do you know? Shui Sheng was so surprised that his face turned red again.
