Chapter 13: The Jade Bead Lights Up

Saving Pan Jinjiang was purely a coincidence.

was assigned a task today, Li Yuan was very attentive, and after getting up early, he said goodbye to Lin Yingying and ran to the bottom of the mountain.

It was still early, many people were still resting, the town was very deserted, and the bored Li Yuan ran to the dock, ready to ask the carp spirit about the situation, and happened to see the scene of Pan Jinjiang falling into the water.

At that time, the situation was critical, and Li Yuandu was ready to go into the water to save people, but he didn't expect the carp essence to rush over, and a cat and a fish worked together to save Pan Jinjiang.

Leaving the Pan Jin River, all the way away, out of the range of the town, Li Yuan, who had been running along the river, came to a boulder with half of his body exposed to the river.

Li Yuan came here because the carp spirit swam here.

The river bank here is full of irregular stones, the terrain is steep, the river bank goes up, connected with Wohu Mountain, the cliff is very steep.

Between the rocks and the canine teeth, there is a small inlet in which the carp spirit is resting.

The small water bay is located on the back side of the boulder where Li Yuan stands, and the water depth is only seven or eight inches, and it is crystal clear.

"Meow meow meow... (Little carp, are you alright?) Standing on the boulder, Li Yuan asked with concern.

Swimming a little further, the fins were exposed to the surface of the water with their backs, and the carp spirit said a little sadly, "Gollum Gollum... (Woooooooo I've lost a few scales, it's so ugly! )”

Li Yuan also noticed that the carp essence's body was close to the tail, and two or three fish scales were missing, but there were no other injuries.

Li Yuan didn't have any good way to deal with the carp spirit's crying, so he could only lean forward a little, his left paw supporting the stone, and his right paw poking out and gently touching her back.

Gently stroked, and some true qi was crossed, helping the carp essence to recover.

"Meow meow meow... (Little carp, it's fine.) The scales will grow back after two days. )”

Li Yuan's true qi made the carp spirit feel very comfortable, she took the initiative to jump up from the water, and her body gently touched Li Yuan's right paw that had not yet been withdrawn.

Falling back into the water, a few splashes splashed on Li Yuan's body, and the carp spirit said fondly: "Gollum Gurr... (Cat cat you are so good, I love cat cat!) )”

The claws stretched forward again, put them into the water, and patted the side of the carp essence's body again, Li Yuan replied: "Meow meow... (Cats love small carp too!) )”

"Gollum... (Hee-hee-hee!) )”

A silver bell-like laugh rang out, and the carp spirit circled around Li Yuan's right paw and turned happily.

The right paw was retracted, and the water droplets on it were shaken, confirming that the carp essence was fine, and Li Yuan, who still had a task today, was ready to give some advice, and then said goodbye and left.

"Meow meow... (Little carp, you have been around here for the past two days, don't go near the dock, the ugly monsters over there are getting more and more fierce, and you used to be very dangerous.) )”

"Grunt... (Don't go to the cats, wait for me to eat the moon and grow up, and run them away.) )”

"Meow meow meow... (I found a Taoist priest to beat them, and they were gone in two days.) )”

"Grunt... (Cat, what is a Taoist priest!) That's amazing! )”

After thinking about how to describe it, Li Yuan tried his best to use words that the carp spirit could understand, and said it.

"Meow meow meow... (The Taoist priest is the one who eats the moon, and the Taoist priest I was looking for has eaten the moon for a long, long time, and it's amazing.) )”

Hearing Li Yuan's words, the carp spirit sighed and looked at him with adoring eyes.

"Grunt... (Cats are so powerful!) )”

"Meow meow... (Hahaha!) Not anymore! )”

"Grunt... (Cats are amazing!) Cats are awesome! Love cats! )”

"Meow meow... (Little carp, I'm going to fight the ugly eight monsters with the Taoist priest, you stay here, after fighting the ugly eight monsters, I will come to see you.) )”

Facing Li Yuan, the carp spirit nodded obediently, "Gollum... (I'm waiting for cats, cats should be careful!) )”

"Meow meow... (Goodbye little carp!) )”

"Gollum... (Goodbye cat!) )”

After saying goodbye, Li Yuan jumped on the stones, and gradually walked away under the reluctant gaze of the carp.

The sun has just risen, and the sunlight shines through the early morning mist and gently sprinkles on the ground, warming all things.

Not long after dawn, the town was already lively, and people had already started a new day's work in order to make a living.

When Li Yuan walked to Binjiang Street, he found that Pan's fishing shop had opened as usual.

Pan Jinjiang changed his clothes and was placing objects in the store, completely unable to see the appearance of the water ghost he had just met.

Life is like this, no matter what difficulties he encounters, as long as he is alive, he must continue to live, not to mention that he still has a wife and daughter to take care of.

The daughter Yaya sat on a small bamboo stool at the entrance of the store, holding a piece of white rice cake in her hand, and ate it in small bites.

When Yaya saw Li Yuan, she showed an innocent smile on her face, ripped off her rice cake for a short time, lifted it towards Li Yuan, and kept shaking.

"Cat eat!"

Pan Jinjiang, who was carrying things, heard his daughter's voice and turned his head to look at the door of the store.

Seeing that it was Li Yuan, a smile appeared on his face, put down the things in his hand, and walked quickly to the door.

"Cat..."I originally wanted to call Li Yuan Maoxian, but looking at the crowd passing by on the street, I changed my words again, "Xiao Hei, do you want to eat?" ”

I didn't eat breakfast when I went down the mountain in the morning, and I was really hungry, Li Yuan was not polite, and nodded.

"Meow!"

"Wait!" With a smile, Pan Jinjiang turned around and walked back to the store.

A rare osmanthus fish in the Sanhua River was fished out of the pool, and it was cleaned on the board, and Pan Jinjiang carried the fish into the inner room.

After about seven or eight minutes, Pan Jinjiang walked out with a steaming bowl of cinnamon noodles.

Placing the Guiyu noodles on the side of the steps in front of the store, Pan Jinjiang said to Li Yuan: "Xiao Hei, the soup is very hot, you eat carefully." ”

Nodding again, signaling that he knew, Li Yuan jumped up the steps and walked to the side of Guiyu noodles.

The delicious taste of the fish soup entered his nasal cavity, and Li Yuan's appetite was aroused, his head lowered, and he ate slowly.

After enjoying breakfast, Li Yuan, who was in a good mood, began his own street tour.

Starting from Binjiang Street near the dock, Li Yuan walked all the way to the end of the other side of the street.

There is a big mansion at the end of the town, and Li Yuan has not entered the house, so I don't know what the scenery is.

This house is the house of the head of the Pan family.

Most of the townspeople in Sanhua Town are surnamed Pan, and they are all from the same clan, so the main family has a lot of prestige in the town.

When Li Yuan was looking for clues yesterday, he had been searching in a direction close to the river, but he had never been here.

With the jade beads today, Li Yuan was going to search around the house.

Starting from the gate of the house, Li Yuan walked around the wall and walked forward, and at the same time opened his natural powers.

Walking to the southwest corner of the house, Li Yuan stopped, and the jade bead hanging around his neck lit up.

This direction is the Pan family's school, Li Yuan heard the sound of the child reading, heard the master's teaching, but did not hear anything wrong.

With a puzzled look on his face, Li Yuan jumped onto the wall and looked at the scenery in the courtyard.

There are rockeries and greenery in the courtyard, and the cobblestone paved path winds and turns to connect a wooden house in the depths of the yard.

The wooden house is quite large, about 200 square meters, and the word "school" is hung above the door.

Through the open window, Li Yuan could vaguely see a dozen or so schoolchildren sitting inside, reciting scriptures.

There was a master, who was supposed to be middle-aged, and he could not tell his exact age, wearing a plain blue square scarf and hat, and a thin gray-and-white shirt with black trim, and was walking around the house with a ring ruler.

"Could it be him?"

Thinking of the scholar mentioned by the water ghost that night, Li Yuan read uncertainly in his heart.
