That night, Lin Qi and the three of them stayed at the fisherman's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The fisherman who took them in, surnamed Ge, has three lines in the family, and people call him Ge Laosan, who has relied on these rivers to fish for a living for generations, and the juniors call him the third uncle.
The third uncle saw that these people were young and there was no place to stay in the store, so he took them back to his home. His son was studying in the Wudi City Academy, and there were only him and his wife at home.
Lin Qi originally planned to offer silver money as a thank you gift, but the third uncle was simple and resolutely refused to accept it, but when he saw the amount of firefly food, he wanted to regret it but it was obviously too late, at this time, Lin Qi smiled and handed over a small package of silver money, the third uncle was afraid of face and wanted to refuse, but was glared at by his mother-in-law, so he didn't speak, and the silver money was silently accepted.
So, at the dinner table, everyone was happy.
Today's fireflies, although the amount of food is still the same, they also know to pay attention to their appearance, and now they don't need Lin Qi to stare at her side and wipe her mouth and face.
The finch ate the least, saying that she wanted to maintain her figure, but she was slightly surprised to see the fireflies around her eat a lot, but she could still maintain such a slender and light figure, and then turned around and secretly touched the loose fat on her waist, although she couldn't see it on weekdays, but it was enough to make her feel ashamed.
Leaving aside the little daughter's thoughts, the third uncle of the Ge family is indeed very happy, his son went away to study, and he has been gone for half a year, and his brothers rarely come and go, and the family has not been so lively for a long time, so he can't help but drink a few more glasses.
Lin Qi didn't drink alcohol, but he couldn't resist the third uncle's warm invitation, so he had a few drinks.
The farmhouse wine is sweet and mellow, although it is not as strong as in the wine shop, but there is a trace of bitterness in it, pure and simple, which makes Lin Qi feel extraordinary.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lin Qi put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his eyes to see the state of the third uncle, the opposite side was obviously very interested, and knew that the timing was good, so he planned to take the opportunity to ask about the situation.
"Third uncle, I want to ask you, is there something going on in this Chijie River?"
Hearing Lin Qi's question, the third uncle's action of raising a glass and drinking was obviously stagnant, he looked at Lin Qi, thought for a while, and then sighed, didn't drink the wine, and put the wine glass back on the table.
"Little Brother Lin, your guess is quite accurate, but I can't hide it, this Chijie River has indeed become unpeaceful. You see, there are us fishermen on the shore today, we all live on fishing in this area, but in fact, we have not been out of the boat to fish for more than half a month!"
"What's going on?"
"In the Chijie River, I don't know when, there was a monster, capsized and made waves, eating flesh and bloodthirsty, very terrifying, a few brothers had already followed his way, were dragged into the water, and there was no outcropping, so during this time, we couldn't get out of the boat at all. ā
There is such a monster!
"No one cares about it, I remember that there should be a lot of cultivation sects around here?"
The third uncle lowered his head and took a sip of stuffy wine, and his face looked a little unhappy.
"Now in this world, who cares about our life or death, those monks are not willing to deal with us at all, and some kind-hearted people also persuade us to leave here first and find another way out, but we have been fishing all our lives, living by the river for generations, and trying to find another way out, where is it so easy. ā
Lin Qi listened, and fell silent for a while, the third uncle said that this situation, he has indeed seen it, many Xuanmen monks now, only for their own selfish interests, never consider punishing evil and promoting good, and benefiting the place, as the so-called people's hearts are not ancient, no matter what position a person holds, there is such a situation.
"After that, we also want to pay some people to subdue the demons for us, but those monks are too high, but I am afraid that all our fishermen will not be able to pay for them. ā
"What kind of world, you still need money to subdue demons!" This time, Firefly felt very unhappy when she heard it, the girl had a habit, whoever gave her food, this person must be a good person, so the girl was naturally extremely indignant when she saw the third uncle being bullied like this.
"Third uncle, you can leave this matter to us, we will definitely be able to catch the monster for you, and we don't need money!"
The third uncle couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw that the three of them were not very old, and their clothes were ordinary, where did they look like Xuanmen monks.
"You...... You guys?"
"Yes, Xiao Qi, it must be no problem to hand it over to us!" Firefly turned back to ask Lin Qi's opinion, and Lin Qi nodded with a smile.
"However, there is something I still have to ask the third uncle to help, and when the demon subduing is successful, I will bother you, I can send a few of us to Hengshui. ā
Without youkai, this is not an old man with a raised hand!
"But you ......" The third uncle was still a little uneasy, you must know that the monster is not an ordinary character, and no one knows what it is until now, only a fisherman who escaped by luck glanced at it from afar.
"Don't worry, Third Uncle, their skills are amazing!"
Since the words have been said about this, what else does the third uncle have to say, he groaned a little at the moment and nodded heavily.
"When will the demon be subdued, do you need me to prepare anything?"
"Time is not waiting, tomorrow morning, there is no need to prepare anything, just need to take us over, third uncle." ā
......
Early the next morning, the matter of Ge Laosan going into the water to subdue the demon spread to the fisherwoman's house on the entire riverbank, and everyone rushed to the shore to cheer for Ge Laosan.
They couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw Ge Laosan holding a fishing boat carrying two young people, a man and a woman, and simply launched into the water.
This pair of men and women are naturally Lin Qi and Firefly, because this time it was a subjugation of demons, and the finches naturally stayed on the shore.
Ge Laosan propped up the fishing boat, slowly rowing towards the middle reaches of the Chijie River, where monsters often haunt, until now, Ge Laosan's brain is still a little confused, last night he borrowed the strength of the wine, homeopathic to take it down, until this morning sobered up, only to understand what a serious thing this is.
The two young people in front of him, no matter how they look at it, don't look like masters of subduing demons and catching monsters, although they are indeed very good-looking, but good-looking can't be regarded as a skill, this girl is still carrying a box, but this boy is completely bare-handed, do you wait to meet the monster, do you plan to tear him with your hands?
If you can't bring down the monsters, the three of you will have to feed the monsters' stomachs, such a deal, it's not cost-effective to think about it, why are you brainless for a while, and you should accept it so simply.
Lin Qi Yingli naturally didn't know the thoughts of Uncle Ge San behind him, they stood on the bow of the boat, thinking carefully about the monsters in the river, but they looked full of confidence, compared to Lin Qi, Firefly looked bored, she touched here for a while, looked at where for a while, but was more curious about the things on the fishing boat, Uncle Ge saw it, and always felt that he was on the thief ship, but this thief ship was obviously his own, thinking of this, the third uncle really wanted to cry without tears.
"Little brother, why don't we go back first?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Lin Qi didn't understand, and Third Uncle Ge suddenly retreated.
Third Uncle Ge was glanced at by Lin Qi's undisguised gaze, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "That, Third Uncle, I may have eaten something bad, and suddenly I have some stomach trouble." ā
"Third uncle, look, we're all here, why don't you bear with it any longer?"
Third Uncle Ge's face was ugly, and he wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Lin Qi suddenly turned his head and looked at the water!
"It's coming!"
What's coming?
Just when Uncle Ge was surprised, there was a sudden loud bang in his ears, and a black thing broke out of the water, opened his bloody mouth, and bit on the fishing boat!
The little fishing boat was bitten to pieces, Lin Qi's firefly pear had already jumped high, and Uncle Ge San was carried by the girl in his hand, and he also escaped, he saw that the monster was so powerful, and it was effortless to bite the fishing boat, and he was already scared to pee.
"Girl, you take the third uncle back to the shore first!"
Firefly nodded, jumped with the third uncle in the water, and jumped to the shore, Lin Qi slowly fell into the water, stepping on the water and standing still, on his two legs, each with a paper talisman, the surrounding river was agitated, but the place under Lin Qi's feet was calm.
The monster missed a blow and had already dived back into the water, Lin Qi's divine sense poked out, and the figure of the monster in pursuit, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
"What kind of monster should I be, it turned out to be a pig dragon!"
