Zheng Bang seized the time, ran two steps, and then, one by one, jumped to the other plank in front of him.

Almost at the same time, the wooden plank under his feet had been torn by Tai Sui, and it fell off the surface of the lake with the white wax pole, splashing a large splash.

It's dangerous!

Just a little bit, he will fall into the lake with Zheng Bang.

Xiao Qiongzhi was startled, turned her head with palpitations, tried to calm her emotions, and no longer paid attention to Tai Sui's movements.

Zheng Bang didn't turn his head to look at the scene behind him at all.

He put the sword back into its sheath, reached out and scooped Xiao Qiongzhi from behind his back into his arms, hugged her instead, and whispered to Xiao Qiongzhi as he walked back: "Zhi'er, I have a dagger in my arms." ”

"You tilt your head sideways, lean on my shoulder, avoid the sight of those people on the shore, take out a dagger from my arms, cut off thirty percent of the Tai Sui meat, leave it in my arms, and then put the rest of the Tai Sui meat in your own arms."

"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly did so.

Although she didn't understand why Zheng Bang arranged it like this, however, Zheng Bang was reliable, so he didn't need to ask much at all, and when it was time to make it clear, he would definitely say it.

When Zheng Bang took her and jumped off the big rock, under the big rock, the Liao patriarch and many clansmen had already formed a circle, waiting for their return.

As soon as he saw Zheng Bang, he asked curiously: "Great hero, why don't you just catch Tai Sui and catch it, but just cut off a small piece of meat from it?" ”

Zheng Bang said with a regretful face: "Originally, I planned to catch it, cut off a small piece of meat from it, and give the rest to you and distribute it to the clansmen in your village, because it originally belonged to you." ”

"However, when I fished it, I found that it weighed not only four or five hundred pounds as you said, but also nearly seven hundred pounds. And this weight, plus the weight of me and Zhi'er, Qiongzhiqiao may not be able to bear it, so I have to give up temporarily. ”

Patriarch Liao suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, it doesn't matter, anyway, Tai Sui is still there, and there will be a chance to catch it in the future." ”

"This Tai Sui, who has lived for at least a few hundred years, should be more spiritual, today I cut off a piece of meat, and I ate a loss, next time, I'm afraid it will not be easy to take the bait."

"This is the piece of Tai Sui meat I just cut off, I only need a small piece to save Zhi'er's Aunt Liu and Second Uncle, and the rest, you can share it with the clansmen in your village!" Zheng Bang said as he took out the Tai Sui meat in his arms, cut off a small piece with a sword, and handed the rest to Patriarch Liao.

The hired patriarch refused to answer: "Big hero, that Tai Sui is still there, it has four or five hundred catties, and there is a lot of meat, you have such a little meat here, just as we are the people of our village, honor you and the little master's gifts, you can keep them!" ”

At this time, Xiao Qiongzhi had already seen Zheng Bang's intentions, and immediately put on a straight face, helped Zheng Bang, and forcibly stuffed Tai Sui meat into the hands of Patriarch Liao: "No, one is one, two is two, although Tai Sui is still there, my uncle just said it, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to catch in the future." ”

"In addition, I heard that Tai Sui meat has the effect of reviving the dead and prolonging life, you can consider taking the remaining Tai Sui meat back to make soup tonight, so that the whole village can drink a few sips, taste it, and prolong life, which is also good!"

Patriarch Liao had no choice but to accept Tai Sui meat.

However, at the same time, he said: "Since the little master said so, I will listen to the little master." “”

"As for that Tai Sui, everyone in our village can drink its broth this time anyway, in the future, we will no longer catch it, keep it, and when you and the big hero need to use the Tai Sui meat again, we will catch it for you."

"No, you don't have to. Anyway, Tai Sui is not so easy to catch, and the Qiongzhi Bridge is already there, you can find a piece of larch wood tomorrow and put the last piece that fell just now back together. ”

"Then, ask a bold carpenter to make holes on both sides of the plank, install two rows of wooden guardrails, and spread the news that there is Tai Sui in the lake, attracting people around to come here to fish for Tai Sui."

"When the time comes, you and the people in the village will collect the usage fee from these people who fish for Tai Sui every day for using Qiongzhi Bridge to fish for Tai Sui."

"You can also vacate some houses in the village as temporary inns and invite them to live in them for food and lodging, or build some wooden houses along the lake for accommodation."

"At the end of each month, you will count the money from these incomes and distribute them to the clansmen in your village to improve their lives, which is also very good." Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly and seriously mentioned it.

Zheng Bang immediately glanced at Xiao Qiongzhi approvingly, and said to Patriarch Liao: "Zhi'er's idea is very good. You can do it. You can also tell everyone that the black crucian carp around Tai Sui are also great supplements, and they also have the effect of prolonging life, but they are not as good as Tai Sui. ”

"As for putting together the last plank, punching holes, and installing wooden guardrails, I said before that I will solve this problem after I catch Tai Sui. And now, I have chopped Tai Sui meat, and it is the same. I'll take care of this tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Good. Thank you little master for your ideas, thank you for the help of the big hero, you are all good people with the heart of the Bodhisattva, and you will definitely have great blessings! Patriarch Liao was overjoyed and said sincerely.

"I just moved my mouth, it's nothing, Patriarch Liao, I just forgot to tell you, you have to pay attention, the bearing capacity of Qiongzhi Bridge is insufficient, just let two or three people go up to fish at a time." Xiao Qiongzhi smiled and waved his hand.

At this time, Zheng Bang had already begun to hold her and walk down the mountain.

The surrounding villagers all heard the conversation between her and Zheng Bang and the Liao patriarch.

Their hearts were full of gratitude, and one of the uncles immediately shouted: "Little master, big hero, stay and have breakfast and dinner before leaving!" By the way, also drink a few sips of Tai Sui's soup! ”

"Thank you, uncle, no need, I want to take this small piece of Tai Sui meat and take it home, and stew it for my Aunt Liu and my second uncle tonight, and when the time comes, they will definitely let me drink a few sips of Tai Sui soup by the way!" Xiao Qiongzhi turned around and said with a smile.

Another lady shouted: "Little master, the lotus root grown in my mud pond is delicious, you go slowly, I'll go home and get some lotus root, and bring it to you to taste." ”

"Thank you, auntie, no need, I have it at home. You keep it for more money and exchange it for food. Xiao Qiongzhi refused with a smile again.

She likes to eat lotus root very much.

The day before yesterday, before she came back from the county seat, considering that Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong were seriously injured and needed to make up for it, she deliberately went to the county vegetable market and picked up a lot of nourishing food to go home.

Meat dishes, such as chickens that have not yet laid eggs, ducks that have been raised for several years, as well as lamb, donkey, and pork ribs, are all bought.

Vegetarian ones such as dried shiitake mushrooms, fresh lotus roots, fresh carrots, etc., are also bought.

Not to mention the rest, lotus root is very expensive among vegetarian dishes, second only to the price of dried shiitake mushrooms.

What this lady wants to give her, although it is a lotus root grown at home, but since the lotus root is expensive, this lady must be reluctant to eat it, and she wants to sell it for money, even if she likes to eat it, she can't accept it.

"I now have Huaishan, Poria cocos, yam eggs, and a lot of miscellaneous grains at home, so I don't need this little lotus money to exchange for food, little master, you must wait for me." The eldest lady didn't follow, and as she spoke, she ran down the mountain.

"The dozens of vine pears that my family picked last month should also be cooked with rice bran, little master, this is not a rare thing, not valuable, but it is not often found in the mountains."

"You wait, I'll go home and get some and give you a taste!" There was an aunt who did the same, and while talking, she ran directly down the mountain, not giving Xiao Qiongzhi a chance to refuse.

"Little Master......

……

Soon, there were at least a dozen people who wanted to give Xiao Qiongzhi a gift, they thought it was very chic and delicious, and ran home while talking.

It was difficult to resist the hospitality, Xiao Qiongzhi had to let Zheng Bang be at the foot of the mountain and wait for everyone with her.

Soon, they brought the things over.

Xiao Qiongzhi only took a little bit from it symbolically, and refused to take more, if they insisted any longer, she would take out the broken silver and buy it.

Unexpectedly, they were quite clever, so they simply put down their things and ran.

Xiao Qiongzhi had no choice but to keep it.
