Chapter 694: Ancient Secrets (6)

The next day, when it was just dawn, the old man and Peaches got up early, and the young man followed him when he heard the movement.

On the way, Yun inhaled the unique fresh air of the seaside and felt the silence of the atmosphere, the young man kept looking at the scenery of Shuipiao Village along the way, and said, "Grandpa, come out so early, is there a fleet to dock?"

"Not necessarily. ”

The old man explained with a smile: "I have to go over every day to have a look, because the Jia family has business partners in Shuihang City, and there are fish merchants stationed on the beach all year round, and a fish market will be opened every morning. After all, our village is a supplier in the city, so even if the sea fish are not fattened every year, we will always send six or seven search fleets to sail and rush back according to the schedule. ”

"Understood. What is the percentage of fish market purchases now?"

"Hey, the sea fish eaten by ordinary people is only four lower grade stones and one catty. Some rare and delicious fish, shrimp and crabs are exclusively for the enjoyment of powerful people, and the expensive ones are not available, so I didn't ask much. ”

"So we're going to pick up fish that others have thrown away?"

"Well, all the way back from the fleet, it is inevitable that some fish will bump and die on the way, and a batch will be cleaned up before they reach the fish market. There are also many small fish merchants who specialize in running in various villages and towns, and they will collect the fish as soon as they die or die frequently, but the price is nearly twice as low. After the fleet returns, it will be sealed and no one else will be allowed to enter, and I and Peaches will be regarded as people from Shuipiao Village, her father and mother were good people during their lifetime, although the people in the village do not treat us very well, they will always turn a blind eye, as long as they do not approach, they will not be too embarrassed. ”

"I see. ”

Chatting all the way. It didn't take long to cross the village entrance avenue. The three of them went straight to the beach. Lookout. At this time, the distance of the coastal line is about more than 100 zhang, and a circle of blockade is pulled up with an elliptical ring of grass rope.

"Follow me for a while, don't run around, if you annoy people, we'll all be kicked out. Looking at the scene in front of him, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately commanded with a stern face, looking at the appearance. There must have been no less losses before.

"Grandpa, if you can, you can describe the most expensive shrimp and crab purchased in the fish market, and I will see if we can catch some and sell them." You also said last night, the season has not been good recently, and now it is only two days away, and you have to pay off a high-grade power stone at one time, which will cost you a hundred low-grade power stones, and now you have only saved twenty pieces, according to this calculation. You have to pick up forty or fifty catties of fish in two days, how can you still pick up them?"

"This" hears this. The old man looked stunned and sighed heavily: "Actually, this time I am also ready to be abused at home, I just want to work harder and strive to be a little easier next time." ”

"In that case, trust me, let's give it a try. Snakes are sensitive to fish smells and are also very smart, if you can get a few valuable fish, you don't have to be so troublesome. ”

"Grandpa, the snake is really powerful. It was it that attracted the fish yesterday, why don't we try it?" Momoko stretched out her small hand to stroke the head of the three-eyed demon dragon python, nodding in agreement.

"Okay, okay. The old man was a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and at this time he thought that the two children wanted to find an excuse to play in a different way, but when they looked at each other, he saw the young man's serious and not joking eyes, and he finally nodded.

Next, at the boy's insistence, several people found a relatively remote place along the coast. It seems that the boy is born with a reliable temperament, so the old man also tirelessly repeated the appearance of several shrimps, crabs and fish. One thing that must be mentioned is that since the boy grew up on a desert island since he was a child, he didn't know much about some people in the outside world, otherwise he would have made such a mistake by using the means of the Three-Eyed Demon Dragon Python to casually capture and kill a few high-level demonic beasts in the sea? Of course, maybe he was just entering the world, and he didn't want to frighten the world and scare this pair of grandchildren because of his weird ability.

"Remember, Grandpa. It's up to the snakes. ”

In fact, the boy can recognize the fish that live in the ocean, but he doesn't know those precious. Immediately wrote down the appearance of the most expensive shrimp and crab that the old man said, he stopped the three-eyed demon dragon python and kept swaying its head, and the essence in his eyes flashed, looking at each other, as if he was communicating, and after a while, his arm flung in the direction of the sea, and the latter immediately turned into a streamer and plunged into the sea.

"Brother, can you eat snakes? Even if the wide-backed eight-striped shrimp is a dead thing, as long as it is kept fresh, those fish market merchants will buy twenty high-grade power stones. So are the big-pincer short-tailed crabs. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hao on the side couldn't help but be surprised. Although he was not very familiar with the precious shrimp and crabs mentioned in the mouths of several people, it was not surprising that as early as the Azure Capital, the seafood on the table of some powerful people was hundreds of high-grade power stones on a plate. It can be seen that the life of those rich people in big cities is far from what the villagers of backward fishing villages can imagine. It can also be seen from this that the so-called merchants of these fish markets have made much money in this period.

"Just wait. The snake is not as simple as it seems, it is very smart. ”

"That" Seeing that the young man finished speaking, staring at the calm sea in front of him, the old man reached out and grabbed Peaches' arm, shook his head, and signaled the other party to be quiet. Seeing this, the latter stuck out his tongue mischievously, and immediately turned his curious gaze to the sea.

How long time passed in waiting, just when Peaches felt a little bored and squatted on the beach to play with the sand, the corner of the young man's mouth curled into a smile and said, "It's here!"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, on the sea about ten zhang away, a dense black wave slowly moved over, at first glance, the old man first rubbed his eyes fiercely, and after making sure that he was not dazzled, he only felt that his chin almost fell to the ground. In fact, deep in his heart, as an old man who has lived in a fishing village for generations, he always feels a little mysterious about the young people around him, and even has some indescribable fear in his heart, because as long as he is close to the other party, he will feel an inexplicable chill rising from himself.

At this time, looking at the wave slowly rushing towards it, the waves were wrapped in countless long crab legs and black shrimp backs, densely packed at a glance, not to mention three or four hundred. The old man swallowed his throat hard. A slight blink of an eye. Seeing Peaches squatting on the ground playing with the sand was also dumbfounded, his mouth directly became an "O" shape, at this moment, he only felt his heart beating violently like a drum, and his beating heart was suffocated.

"Grandpa, Peaches, stand back a little and let the snake bring them up. ”

"Oh, good, good! Hurry up!" Hearing this, the old man's face was excited and he hurriedly picked up the peach, and then the three of them retreated five or six feet away, revealing a clearing, and then, watching the greedy snake put on a squirting appearance with its head and tail dangling, and took the lead out of the sea, and behind it was a group of shrimp and crabs that were either spitting bubbles or squirming and swaying forward.

"This, this"

Seeing the greedy snake sneak into the young man's arms. Looking at the large area in front of him, which was less than 300 wide-backed eight-striped shrimp and large-pincer short-tailed crabs, the old man was still in disbelief. Stunned on the spot: "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Hehe, grandpa, do you think it's enough? If it's not enough, I'll let the snake go again. "Even if an eleven-star divine beast releases the aura on its body, don't say that it is these small shrimps and crabs, even if it is a ten-star demonic beast, it has to obediently follow a large group.

"Enough, enough!" the old man nodded vigorously.

"Brother, the greedy snake is so powerful! If so many shrimp with eight stripes and short-tailed crabs with large tongs are all sold, how much will it cost! Isn't the Jia family's annual income only five or six thousand high-grade power stones?" Peach swallowed her throat fiercely, just like the old man, when she found out that she was not dreaming, she was excited and even a little overwhelmed.

Looking at the old man and Peach's shocked expressions, the young man smiled heartily and said, "No matter how much it is, let's sell it first." Pay off the account of Najia's family, and then let's go to Shuihang City to buy some clothes and eating utensils, and live a good life!"

"Brother, you're amazing!" After all, Peaches is a child's temperament, and after taking the lead in coming out of the shock at this time, a cheer, directly like a kitten, jumped on the boy's body, hugged each other's necks with both arms, wrapped his legs around his waist, and his whole body was on the boy's body.

"Hmmm!" Feeling a thin and warm body in his arms, a warmth came from his face, and the young man's eyes suddenly widened, and an unconcealable blush slowly crawled all over his cheeks.

"Peach, come down first. Hearing that slightly nervous words, Momoko turned her head slightly, and between her eyes, she seemed to realize that she had just made an inappropriate move because of joy, and immediately blushed and hurriedly jumped down.

Glimpsing Peaches with his head down, his face flushed, and he was nervously picking at the corners of his clothes, the young man coughed twice with embarrassment, and changed the topic: "Grandpa, let's not wait, these shrimps and crabs may die if they stay away from the sea for a long time, so hurry up and go to the fish market to sell them." ”

"Good, good. ”

After the old man came back to his senses, he said: "But you can't sell so much at one time, otherwise it will definitely cause an uproar." You must know that King Jia Yan is a master who eats people and does not spit out bones, and if he knows that you have a pet as precious as a greedy snake, he will definitely have a black mind. ”

"Grandpa is right, last time Aunt Wang's husband went to sea, I don't know where to get a pearl of the sea, I heard that it is valuable. Since he was a ship-handlebar style, he promised a lot of benefits to the crew, so he secretly kept the things. Later, for some reason, the news still reached the ears of King Jia Yan, and it didn't take long for Aunt Wang's family to die violently. This sea area is controlled by the Jia family, and usually only they rob others, how can other pirates dare to come here to spread wild?"

"Dead Nizi, don't talk nonsense!" Hearing these mouthy words, the old man's face turned, and he subconsciously looked around, because this seaside is relatively remote, and he didn't see anyone, he breathed a sigh of relief, pulled his face and said: "Are there still few people in the village who chew the root of Jia's tongue? ”

"Okay, okay, I won't say it!" Seeing the old man's sincere reproach, Peaches pursed her lips and said aggrievedly.

"Grandpa, I'm not afraid of the so-called King Jiayan, if he dares to come to the door, I will let him walk around without eating. Seeing that the old man was really afraid, the young man said with a cold face.

"Brother, it's scary when you're angry. Seeing the young man's face as cold as a thousand years of ice in a blink of an eye, Peaches felt her heart tighten for no reason, and her voice trembled.

"I'm sorry. Seeing this, the young man's face suddenly softened, and he said with a wry smile: "Since grandpa doesn't want to cause trouble, let's sell some, anyway, it's not troublesome for greedy snakes to attract these shrimp and crabs." ”

"These things live in the deep sea all the year round, and they are usually rare objects, so let's sell five, which is enough to repay the money of King Jia Yan, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking for a few years. (To be continued......)
