This guest, there is no problem with other medicinal materials, but this turtle plate is sold out today, and it will be available in two days. ”

The shopkeeper of medicinal herbs looked through the list and said apologetically.

The turtle plate is the shell of the turtle, which is the core material of the turtle jelly, which is recorded in the "Convenient Food Therapy": "The turtle mainly treats fatigue and hemoptysis, cough, cold and heat, and replenishes the use to reduce fire." ”

Without a turtle plate, the therapeutic effect of turtle jelly cannot be exerted.

"Oh, then I'll go somewhere else. Qin Fei said that he was leaving, and the shopkeeper of medicinal herbs hurriedly grabbed him, "Guests, don't be in a hurry to leave, there are too many turtle kings in Tianlong City, especially in the moat, if the guests are not in a hurry, just find a fisherman, and a little salary can help you catch more than a dozen." ”

In order to make this deal, the herb shopkeeper came up with this alternative.

Qin Fei thought that he could save a sum of money, so he bought other medicinal materials in the store, and as for the turtle plate, according to what the shopkeeper said, he went to the moat to catch it.

Just about to go out, a man in black came to the medicine shop.

"Did you say that the Turtle King Baduo of Tianlong City?" the man in black asked the shopkeeper in a cold voice.

The shopkeeper of medicinal herbs was confused: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Hmph, you dare to insult the regent with insinuations, come here, arrest me!" A group of soap servants rushed in and escorted them away.

"Wronged!"

Qin Fei looked at this scene, his brows tightened, but he didn't have much to do, shook his head and left.

......

The moat was like a scarf, gently on the shoulders of Tianlong City, Qin Fei came to the bank of the moat in the evening, looked at the rolling river, and a few fishing boats that returned late, and inexplicably thought of a poem-

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes.

Success or failure turns empty.

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.

A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet.

How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

After silently reciting it in his heart, Qin Fei was not so irritable.

At this time, a fisherman drove a boat to the shore, and Qin Fei stepped forward to say hello: "Fisherman, the harvest is okay, right?"

The fisherman shook his head and sighed: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the son, I caught a fish for a day, and I didn't catch a single one." ”

"Impossible, right?"

"Hey, it's not that those nobles in the city have nothing to do when they are full, they say that they want to release their lives and accumulate virtue, and they don't know where to buy some turtles and put them in the river, and they release them every year, and all the fish and shrimp are eaten. "The fisherman choked.

"That's right...... Can my husband help me catch twenty turtles, and I'll give you eighty dollars. Qin Fei stopped beating around the bush and said the purpose.

"Is this true?" The fisherman couldn't believe that the turtle couldn't be served on the table like a soft-shelled turtle, so what did this man want the turtle to do?

But after Qin Fei directly prepaid the salary, the fisherman was sure that the other party was not joking, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he propped up the boat to the center of the river with one pole, and cast several nets, and there were turtles in the nets, but there were no fish and shrimp.

After a while, the fishing boat docked, and the fisherman gave Qin Fei a cage of turtles, at least thirty or so, and the more should be sent to Qin Fei, without asking for more money.

Qin Fei thanked him and prepared to go back, when another fishing boat docked not far away.

The water cage hanging on the side of the fishing boat was full of fatty fish, and Qin Fei was surprised: "How can he catch so many fish?"

The fisherman who caught the turtle stopped talking, and finally said angrily: "He has raised a water ghost, of course he can catch fish." ”

Qin Fei took the other party's angry words for a while, didn't take it to heart, collected the turtle, and came to the boat that caught the fish: "Fisherman, how do you sell the fish, can it be cheaper to buy it all?"

The fish that had just been caught was very energetic, and Qin Fei had to stock it anyway.

The fisherman was a middle-aged man, with dark skin and white teeth when he laughed, and he scratched his head: "I'm sorry, most of these fish have been booked, and you can only sell ten fish." ”

"Okay, ten tails are ten tails, I want it. The price was cheaper than the vegetable market, so Qin Fei paid for it and threw it directly into the river water of the ranch space.

The middle-aged man saw the fish in Qin Fei's hand disappear out of thin air, and said in surprise, "Are you a mage?"

There are many warlocks in Tianlong City, who dare to call themselves such and such a mage if they use a little trick, Qin Fei is not a charlatan, and he was about to deny it, but unexpectedly, this fisherman directly knelt down and kowtowed.

"I beg the mage to help my friend overcome the wrongs!"

Qin Fei hurriedly pulled the fisherman up, confused: "Tell me carefully, what's the situation?"

Although Qin Fei had encountered several supernatural events, under the inertia of his thinking, he always did not believe in evil.

Moreover, even if Qin Fei's real experience is concerned, only one of the ten times may be true, and the others are all feudal superstitions.

The middle-aged fisherman didn't have much to say, so he said it seriously: "It was one night three years ago, and I thought that there was no one to rob at night, maybe I could catch more fish, so I sailed to the middle of the river and cast a net." ”

"It's cold at night, so I just want to warm up with some wine. As a result, the bottle did not hold it steady, and it fell into the river. Somehow, I caught a lot of fish that night. ”

"Later, every night, I did the same, throwing a bottle of wine into the river, and there would be a good harvest. ”

"Until one night, when I was going to go fishing in the middle of the river, a young man on the bank stopped me, and he said that he was a water ghost who committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and because he had drunk my wine, he had been helping me drive the fish into the net to repay him, and the reason why he appeared today was because he was about to be reincarnated. ”

"Somehow, I wasn't scared, and I was grateful that he had done so much for me, so I invited him on board for a drink. ”

During the period, I knew his name, his name was Shi Heng, because he didn't do well in the exam, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, but the person who died in vain could not be reborn, and his soul stayed at the bottom of the river for hundreds of years before waiting for the person who wanted to replace him. ”

"The next day, I was curious about who would replace Shi Heng, so I kept watching by the river. At noon, a woman with a doll crossed the river in a boat, and one of them did not stand still and fell into the river. The boatman only rescued the baby, but the woman was nowhere to be found. ”

"I thought to myself, this is Shi Heng's stand-in, but I didn't expect that the woman had somehow gone to the other side, except for the wet clothes, the whole person was in good shape. ”

"That night, I came to the riverbank again, saw Shi Heng, I asked him what was going on, he said that the woman was going to replace him, but when he saw that the baby was gone, he couldn't stop crying, so he couldn't bear it, so he put the woman back. ”

"Shi Heng missed the heavenly opportunity because of this, and he could only stay at the bottom of the river for eternity. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged fisherman grabbed Qin Fei emotionally: "I implore the mage to help him overtake him, I am willing to pay any amount of money." ”

With Qin Fei's fine thinking, he felt that there were loopholes in this story, so Shi Heng was not necessarily a water ghost, and he could say that he was a liar who cheated on alcohol and drank.

But if it's true, then this Shi Heng is also quite kind.

Of course, the middle-aged fisherman is also worthy of respect, and even if he can't catch fish in the future, he still hopes that his friends will be able to get over.

Qin Fei sighed: "I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this matter, but if what you said is true, I wish your friend a good outcome." ”

......

At night, the middle-aged fisherman bought wine as usual, waited left and right on the riverside, but did not see his friends.

When the moon was in the middle of the day, the middle-aged fisherman was so sleepy that his hand slipped and the wine bottle fell into the water.

Suddenly, a young man in a white robe appeared, with a divine light flashing on his body: "Young fisherman, did you drop this gold bottle, or this silver bottle, or this earthen bottle?"
