Volume 1 Pond Bottom Fish Chapter 2 Four-legged Loach
"Li Leshan! Hurry up! β
Next to the stream, Su Zi'an had already rolled up his trousers and stepped on the stream.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Brother Zian! I'm late again! β
Li Leshan hurriedly put down the basket, and was just about to take off his coarse cloth coat, which was a little transparent, but he was splashed with water by the young man in the stream.
The stream that had just entered autumn was not cold, but Li Leshan's face was full of sadness, he carefully patted the water droplets hanging on his clothes that had not yet seeped in, and muttered: "Brother Zi'an! Clothes can easily break when they get wet! β
Su Zi'an on the side was disdainful, only to see him jump up and walk to his basket. immediately took out a new dress and held it in front of Li Leshan.
Li Leshan looked dazed, just thinking that Su Zi'an wanted to show off his new clothes. But after carefully looking at the size of the clothes, the young man pointed to the tip of his nose in disbelief and asked softly, "For me?" β
"Take it!"
Su Zi'an was not very impatient, his fingers shook, he threw the new clothes to the young man, and said with some disdain: "Recently, there are many cultivators who want to go to Langya Mountain, and they like to listen to my old gentleman's storytelling, and they are also generous. I thought I'd buy you a gift to thank you for the yellow coin ingots you prepared for me back then! At that time, I was poor, but I said I would pay you back, and I did what I said! β
The young man who was very embarrassed just now accepted it happily after Su Zi'an's words. was just about to take a look, but was thrown into the basket by Su Zi'an.
"Look at the clothes when you go back! Catch the loaches first! I don't know what's wrong today, these guys seem to have encountered some natural enemy, swimming so fast, but it's hard to catch! β
As soon as the words fell, Su Zi'an plunged into the stream again.
Li Leshan stood on the shore and watched blankly, but it was only a few days of work, but Su Zi'an's water quality was improving rapidly. At this moment, it has been about half a pillar of incense in the water. The underwater shadow was still spreading its arms, methodically driving away a group of loaches.
"Why are you still stunned?!" Su Zi'an suddenly got out of the water, pointed to the shallower stream in front of him, and shouted, "Go over there and set a trap!" β
Li Leshan moved in response, and after a while, the loach was blocked in the basket.
"How? How much is it? β
Su Zi'an surfaced excitedly, and the two teenagers carried heavy baskets and sat down by the boulders some distance from the stream.
"That's a lot!"
Li Leshan looked at the baskets full of baskets and shouted happily: "If this is sold!" How much do you have to sell it for? β
"Knock ββ!"
On Li Leshan's head, a crisp sound suddenly sounded.
Su Zi'an slapped the young man's head and said with a smile: "Look at your useless appearance!" I told you, I've had a good income lately, but I'm still short of this money? β
Li Leshan hugged his head and nodded innocently. But in front of him, the fish that was still alive and kicking somehow became motionless. When I looked at it again, they all rolled their eyes and died.
"Brother Zi'an! You see! β
Li Leshan immediately pulled Su Zi'an, who was still sorting the fish, and exclaimed: "Why are all the fish in my basket dead?" β
Su Zi'an obviously didn't believe it, still lowered his head and counted his basket of fish, and said casually: "If you want more, just ask!" You don't have to think about it, do you? β
Seeing that Su Zi'an didn't believe it, Li Leshan pushed the basket down in front of him.
Su Zi'an's body was shocked, and he looked at the motionless fish and wondered. Suddenly, the old pile of dead fish jumped up and down a few times. Su Zi'an immediately frowned, thinking that it was a water snake, so he protected Li Leshan behind him, picked up a branch, and flicked it towards the fish pile.
"What's that?!"
Li Leshan, who was behind him, immediately pointed over, and saw a black thing with four legs, like a fish but not a fish, but a bit of a loach, which was gnawing on dead fish at the moment. As soon as he saw the two, he immediately pulled out his legs and slipped away.
"Damn it! Don't run! Give me back the fish! β
Su Zi'an was furious, and immediately raised the branch and chased after the four-legged loach.
"Li Leshan! Why are you still stunned? Kill this beast! β
Li Leshan suddenly came back to his senses, but he saw through the path of the four-legged loach at a glance. Then he took up the basket and set up an ambush on the way to the creek.
"Come in, you!"
As Li Leshan closed the lid of the basket, the four-legged loach was caught by him.
"Whew-huh-" Su Zi'an, who was panting, bent over, leaned against a tree, and said with a smile: "Li Leshan!" I can't see it, you still have a little brain! β
"Hey, hey!" Li Leshan smiled innocently.
"Open it and take a look! This is the first time I've seen these four-legged loaches! β
Su Zi'an walked over and supported Li Leshan's shoulder with one hand.
Li Leshan swallowed his saliva and nodded. Then, with extremely curious eyes, he slowly removed the lid.
I saw that in the basket, the four-legged loach grinned and roared from time to time. But the four-legged loach just glanced at Li Leshan, and then changed the fierce and vicious appearance just now, and immediately buried his head, as if he had seen a natural enemy.
"Brother Zi'an! What is this? You followed the old gentleman to the north and south, and you have seen a lot, have you ever seen it? Li Leshan asked softly.
Su Zi'an on the side "uh-" for a while, revealing a thoughtful look! I thought that even if I didn't know, I had to find something to name it, so as not to lose my tall image.
"It's likeβbaby fish!"
Su Zi'an spoke suddenly.
Li Leshan immediately learned the truth, nodded again and again, looked at the four-legged loach in the basket, and muttered: "It turned out to be a baby fish!" No wonder it's so ugly! β
When he boarded, the four-legged loaches in the basket seemed to jump a little angrily, but he didn't even dare to look at Li Leshan more.
Su Zi'an closed his eyes and nodded, squeezed Li Leshan away, looked into the basket and said with a smile: "Not bad!" This thing is a baby fish! A rare thing to be able to walk on land! However, I heard that it is very nutritious, and if you take it to your mother's stew, it should be very good! β
Suddenly, the four-legged loach, which was still very weak, immediately became hideous, with the meaning of opening its teeth and dancing its claws.
"Damn brute! Hurt me so many fish! Do you dare to kick my nose in the face at this time?! Su Zi'an immediately broke off a branch, poked at the four-legged loach body a few times, didn't look at it more, closed the lid again, and threw the basket to Li Leshan: "You have to go home and stew it well!" β
The two of them then returned to the boulder and divided the rest of the fish in half. Just about to leave, he still looked back at the dozen dead fish one step at a time, and he really couldn't bear it.
"Brother Zi'an! Will you make a fire? β
Li Leshan, who stopped walking, suddenly asked.
"Yes! What's wrong? Su Zi'an responded: "Is it possible, do you want to roast those fish here?" β
Li Leshan nodded, pointed to the bushes on the side, and said, "There, there are many wild spices, do you want to try my craft?" β
"Of course!" Su Zi'an was very happy, and as he was talking, he was already busy looking for firewood. As for the four-legged loach, the two of them used some broken branches and separated a small single room in the basket, and raised them together in the water.
A few acres, beside the stream, green smoke curling.
Su Zi'an excitedly praised Li Leshan's cooking skills: "Be good! It's delicious! Who did you learn this cooking from? β
Li Leshan smiled and said, "How can there be any cooking skills, even if you cook too much, you will naturally be able to do it!" β
