Chapter 3 Earn Fish Together

I was forced to soak the potion all night, and there was a smell of medicine on my body, but I smelled too much, and I smelled myself from time to time.

"Really Fragrant"

It's really refreshing and refreshing.

"It stinks."

Many people pinched their noses and looked at me, which puzzled me.

I looked left and right, and then I looked at my feet, and suddenly my heart was galloping.

"Who is so lacking in virtue to put mines on the road!"

I'm really speechless, is it the loss of morality or the lack of quality education!

"Eun Gong, please change my shoes."

Li Yimao hurriedly took off his cloth shoes and handed them to me, and at this moment I felt that there was warmth in the world and true feelings in the world.

You ask me who Li Yimao is, Li Yimao is Li Yimao, who else will he be, will he be a peerless master who fell from the edge of the cliff.

Yes, he did fall, but whether he was a master or not has not yet been reflected in the existing information.

"Yimao, don't call me any grace in the future, if you can afford me, just call Brother Dao, or Brother Qian, otherwise it's too inconvenient to chat in the future."

This is the most correct way to open the chat, chat with your heart, chat for a long time, what kind of grace or something, you will only shout more and more points.

"Okay, let's call Brother Dao."

Li Yimao usually speaks either bowing down or giving his hands, but now he is slowly becoming less restrained, and it is easier to lose those red tape, isn't it.

"You see, how good this is, the big husband should be informal"

Changing into his cloth shoes, I stepped on the ground very comfortably.

"It's good if you're happy".

Li Yimao didn't know where there was an extra pair of shoes, and it was not easy to look at it.

"It's worthy of being an outsider, just having shoes", I gave him a thumbs up from the bottom of my heart.

Li Yimao: "That's right, Brother Dao, when I first arrived, I still hope that Brother Dao will give me one or two"

Me: "If you have any questions, just ask"

Li Yimao: "People in this village don't like to mingle? ”

I was a little puzzled and said, "Is there such a thing, I see that the neighbors in the township are all amiable, where can you see it?"

Li Yimao asked again: "Do the people here don't use money, but they all use money to buy and sell outside?"

"The money here is dried fish, wait a minute, you say that people outside are using money to buy things?"

I think I've heard a familiar word.

"Money"

I thought about it seriously, and I remembered that it seemed to be very valuable and difficult to earn, and it was easy to spend.

"What kind of money?" , I continued to ask.

"A thing that is exchanged for goods, shiny, measured in terms of quantity and weight," Li Yimao gestured.

"Isn't that just fish?" I thought it was a big deal.

"It's not dried fish, it's something else, the money used outside is gold and silver, and the most used is spiritual jade," Li Yimao described seriously.

"There's a lot of information, you can wait a minute."

I took out a notebook made of straw paper and wrote it down carefully.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Li Yimao was very incomprehensible to my behavior, and his face was puzzled.

"You also know that no outsiders have come to our fishing village for many years, and the people inside don't dare to go out, because those who have gone out have never come back, so they don't know much about the outside world." , I explained.

"Even sometimes I wonder if something is wrong, the memory of the whole village is not uniform, but it's not surprising that everyone's memory is different."

Somehow, I accidentally diverted the subject.

"yes, I feel like my memory is very confusing, I can't remember how I got here, I always feel like I can't remember a memory...... Up"

Li Yimao's body began to shake, and I supported him, and he fell asleep along the wall.

"Brother Yimao, Brother Yimao!"

I thought he fainted, but I didn't expect it to fall asleep, probably because he didn't sleep well last night, so let him sleep for a while, I'm also sleepy.

"No, wake up!"

But now was not the time to sleep, and I quickly woke him up.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Li Yimao was woken up by the shout, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"We still have important things to do, hurry up and tell me about the spiritual jade outside", I looked curious.

"That's right, we put the spirit jade in the sensing space, and we can take it out at any time when we need to use it......"

I was surprised along the way, and I said I could understand a lot of things, but how did sensing space sound so outrageous.

When asked why people outside live so long, he said: Isn't that quite normal?

In terms of food, he took it very usually, saying that he rarely eats.

This made me a little surprised, could it be that the people outside are all immortals, and they don't eat the fireworks of the world.

When it comes to the enemy, his blood is boiling, and all kinds of gestures and all kinds of inexplicable moves come out.

I watched it with relish, it seems that this outsider is still a practitioner, no wonder the body is strong, otherwise he would have fallen to his death, wouldn't he?

But I always felt that something was wrong, didn't it mean that the memory was missing and confused, how could it be expressed so clearly......

Walking and walking, we came to Dr. Qin's house together.

"Late!"

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Qin Xueyao's crisp and loud roar.

"I'm really sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have fallen asleep in the middle of the road, and I shouldn't have talked so much about outside."

Li Yimao apologized sincerely.

"I'm also on my first day of work, give me face, don't deduct my salary."

I'm also a little ashamed.

"Okay, okay, then let's talk about the outside first."

Qin Xue smiled softly, and the murderous aura in it came to her face.

Grunt......

I swallowed my saliva, my throat is extremely dry today, and it is not suitable to start a fire.

Here everyone will be very puzzled, why we came to Qin Xueyao's house and came to her house to "work", this matter should be traced back to last night:

Retrospective:

"Okay, let's talk about settling accounts first", Qin Xueyao had already taken the abacus.

"Yes, I've bothered you here, be sure to calculate it, and I'll repay the kindness of saving my life."

"I'm annoyed, I'm annoyed, what I hate the most is some broken accounts, I'll go back to sleep", Dr. Qin also flicked his sleeves and went out.

"I said, settle the account, it's okay to wear my clothes, what do you think?"

"It should indeed be dressed for Engong to be clear", Li Yimao took out my clothes from nowhere.

The familiarity of wearing them is really strong, and it is better to wear your own clothes, and it is good to have clothes to wear, although they have not been washed for a long time.

"I said, Qin Da Beauty, we brought the injured back to the fishing village, I have been carrying it for more than an hour, so far, the weather is still so hot, how should this matter be calculated?"

I took the lead and was the first to present the fruits of my labor.

"You suddenly brought such a big person to my house, half-dead, using so much medicine, so much water, so much firewood, so much dried fish, so much time, how can you count it!"

Qin Xueyao used the treatment process to arrange it in order simply and clearly, and she deserved to be the housekeeper's wife and the leader of the accounting.

"Both of you, this matter is caused by the below, and the subordinate is willing to pay all the fundraising."

Li Yimao was the injured himself, and it was natural to repay the life-saving kindness.

"I don't have a problem with this, just give thirty or fifty dried fish", it's not impossible to have dried fish.

"You think of the beauty, the medicinal bath I used last night, all the medicine is worth a hundred fish. There are also consultation fees, treatment fees, and a change of clothes, all of which are counted as thirty fish, and ...... wasted."

Qin Xueyao went back and forth on the abacus, and then said, "Now that the calculation is over, there are a total of one hundred and sixty fish."

"So expensive!"

I was stunned, how many days did it take to catch the fish, and the bitter fish in the bitter sea were not so easy to catch.

"I'll pay, isn't it just fish, I'll buy it", Li Yimao felt that it wasn't a big problem when he heard it.

"Brother, you said to buy, so what to buy?" , I asked curiously.

"Money, I'll go earn money first, can't I buy fish after earning money", Li Yimao replied very seriously.

"No, no, no, you're wrong, we don't want money, and you don't have anything on you at all, how can you earn it, Brother Yimao!"

I hastened to remind him that he had nothing here.

"Yes, I was seriously injured, and everything in my body was lost", Li Yimao sighed, and finally fell to this point.

"Let's return the fish honestly, one hundred and sixty fish, and thirty of the thousand junior brothers", Qin Xueyao had already written the IOU.

"One hundred and ninety fish, okay I'll return, please tell me how to catch fish."

Li Yimao decisively chose fish.

"Are you sure?" , I emphasize again.

"Sure!" , Li Yimao is determined to go fishing at sea.

"Okay, I'll tell him about some of my fishing processes, your ......."

Every time I go to sea, I go out for a day or two, sometimes I can't come back, sometimes I go out early and return late, I hit more than 20 of them, and I can't hold on to dry food for three or four days.

On average, a person can have two fish a day, plus some wild vegetables and fruits. If a person counts three fish in a day, it is ninety in a month.

Of course, you have to have a boat and tools, and a boat can't take ten days and half a month to get it right.

The food cost of the shipbuilder is three fish a day, and the labor cost is five fish, so it takes a hundred fish to get it. I don't eat or drink but owe a lot of debt, who is willing to help you is hard to say.

"So, going out to sea to fish doesn't work," Li Yimao came to this conclusion.

"That's right, if you can't catch fish, you'll starve, or be a waste raised by your family like me," I laughed at myself.

"Do you know how to fish?" , Li Yimao suddenly proposed.

"Of course you can, but it's hard to catch it on the shore because the places where you can catch fish are already occupied by the old people."

I poured cold water on him again.

"So, do I have to beg on the streets to live!"

Li Yimao was already disheartened, he was injured and had nothing to lose, how could he do anything to beg, what is begging, the people in the fishing village have never begged.

"I don't have to pay back my thirty articles", how can I be embarrassed to ask him again, he can't afford to pay it back at all.

"No, the life-saving grace of the two benefactors, I can't repay it, isn't it just a fish, even if I return this life to the two, it's not impossible"

Li Yimao is really a straight person, upright.

"Alas, no, no, what's the use of my life, the fish will naturally have someone to fight for you, you just make something that the fisherman wants to change when he comes back, wouldn't it be good to exchange things for fish."

Qin Xueyao stared at us with wide eyes, and when I asked, I felt that the discussion just now was almost all nonsense.

"But the question arises again, what do fishermen need?" , I thought.

There is a blacksmith shop here, and the blacksmith Chen always makes some fish hooks, harpoons, kitchen knives, pots and pans, and nails, and nails are consumed every time, after all, the sea water is extremely corrosive to iron.

"How's the nails?" , I asked Qin Xueyao.

"What's how, what's not good, we don't have iron mines, how to make nails! And many of the boats are inlaid directly with wood, which is unbreakable, and the nails are of little use and worthless."

Qin Xueyao refuted it to me again, and this road is also impassable.

"What do you use for fishing?" , Qin Xueyao asked us suddenly.

"Bait!"

Good guy, it's been a long day, it turns out that she is waiting for us here, Qin Xueyao said her plan, which is to let Yimao and me be her handymen.

We went to find the ingredients to make bait, and then she sold it to the fishermen, and distributed it according to the proportion of the dried fish harvested.

This is the end of the backtrack.

Of course, Li Yimao is sleeping in the firewood room, and the weather has been relatively ...... recently. Cool, there may be more mosquitoes, the key is free.

"So tell me about the outside, I'm curious too."

Qin Xueyao put away her murderous aura and asked Li Yimao very seriously.

Li Yimao stopped what he was doing, he thought for a while and said:

"The heavens are the same and the earth are the same outside, but there is no sea, no, no, there is no such sea. I can't remember a lot of things, but I still have a lot of memories of the sea.

I remember once falling into the sea, and the water was blue, and the water was salty, like tears, as if they had been made up of tears from someone's weeping.

And the sea here has no color, it is as transparent as streams, rivers, and lakes, and it does not invert the color of the sky, and I don't know if it is also salty. ”

"It's bitter, our sea here is bitter, not salty", I replied in the affirmative.

"Is it bitter?"

Li Yimao fell into deep thought, not knowing whether he was trying to recall the past or doubting.

For him, this place may just be a safe haven, if he is better, he will probably leave here, but the cliff is a desperate situation, and he can't get in and out.

There's only one way out of here, and that's the west coast, which is crossed by boat against the cliffs.

But this is just a rumor, and I haven't seen anyone go out, and the sea route over there is very dangerous.

But how dangerous it is, people have gone out and never come back, and the devil knows, so few people mention it now.

"Let's work, I'll go to the swamp and catch a few more bugs, and you can go pick some thin cotyledons."

Qin Xueyao went out with a small bamboo basket, and I also carried the bamboo basket with Li Yimao to the west shore, where there are indeed thin cotyledons, one by one.

"That's where you fell," I said, pointing to the top of the cliff.

Li Yimao looked up, then closed his eyes, as if he was remembering.

"You mean, I didn't fall to my death when I fell from here?!".

Li Yimao suddenly looked at this steep cliff in surprise, he didn't believe that he would fall from such a high place, he didn't dare to think about it.

However, this Mao brother's reflex arc is too long.

"That's right, this is where we found you, of course, most people never come to this hellish place, because it's too difficult to walk, you have to be glad to have met us"

I can't help it, otherwise how could I agree to help you earn fish together, what a sin has been created.
