Chapter Forty-Eight: Hot Feather, Cold Winter

"Where did you get this?"

"Underwater? Floating on your own? Got it back just by looking at the glow? ”

Liang Qu taught the two beasts how to judge the treasure fish, depending on whether it looks different from ordinary fish, and the color and shape are relatively unique and rare.

These words were deeply remembered by the two beasts, and when they saw the glowing feathers, they knew that this thing was not a fish, but they still thought it was a good thing, so they brought it back.

Reason...... That's right.

The feathers were large, three feet long and one foot wide.

Liang Qu tried to reach out and touch it, but was forced back by the astonishing heat emanating from the feathers.

Good guy, it's so hot, no wonder I can't move and Ah Fei doesn't dare to come back with it, it's like pouring sweet potatoes.

Huge feathers, amazing heat.

Liang Qu immediately thought of the flaming giant bird flying in the sky when the two demons fought last night.

Not surprisingly, this feather fell from its body and drifted here with the waves, where it was discovered by the two beasts.

Brother Toad, you did a good job, the head killer, and let me drink some soup and water.

Liang Qu controlled the flow of water and rolled up his feathers, and only after the heat had dissipated a little bit could he try to touch it directly.

The feathers are as hard as iron, glowing with a cold and hard luster, shining in the dark, and the feathers are very soft and feel very good, but they are too hot to touch when they are cooled without washing with water.

What is a feather used for?

Birds and beasts do not have water essence to ingest, and they have to worry about clothes catching fire when used as a warm baby.

Liang Qu fell into deep thought, unable to figure out how to use it.

But no matter what, the objects on the big demon must be very precious, bring them back and let the masters and brothers take a look, maybe you will know how to use them.

Liang Qu did not hesitate to praise: "Well done!" Later, if you see something that is not a fish, but something very abnormal, you can bring it back. ”

The two beasts, who had been praised, whirled in the water, stirring up a violent current.

After a while, the beam canal surfaced, and seeing that it was almost dark, he told him not to move back to guard the lotus root, while the fat catfish explored the nearby waters more.

Especially in the shallow water nearby, if there are any shipwrecks, human creations, treasures, treasure plants, treasure fish, it would be best if you could find the same feathers, or even a part of the water beast demon.

Liang Qu wanted to know how much water essence a part of such a big demon's body could have.

Not only near Yixing City, but also the waters near Yunjiang Port and Pingyang Town can be explored.

Today's Ah Fei is quite huge, as long as he does not venture into the deep water, he will not be in much danger.

Dragging his feathers back to the sampan, Liang Qu glanced into the waterproof compartment, and in addition to the ordinary fish species, there were still two carp, a yellow croaker, and a tiger fish, all of which were good fish species.

Back at the port, it was already dawn, and Liang Qu sold the catch to Lin Songbao.

"It doesn't seem like much today, why are there only two baskets?" Lin Songbao helped move the fish basket to the fishing pen, but when he opened it, he was shocked, "Huo, so many good fish?" A yellow croaker, two carp, a tiger fish? Did you poke the fish's nest? ”

"Good luck today."

"It's amazing, people are catching less and less in winter, but you are getting more and more." Lin Songbao gave a thumbs up, "A total of three hundred and forty-six Wen will be counted for you, and I will give you three coins of silver, right?" ”

Lin Songbao is not a stupid person, although his father didn't say anything, he also knew that Liang Qu must have undergone an amazing change, and the discount given was greater than before, three coins of silver, how to change the copper plate normally cost three hundred and sixty wen.

"There is labor!"

"You're welcome, it's just that you're in my province to find you, the restaurant has been booked, tonight Langyunlou is in the No. C box, my father asked me to ask if you want to send a carriage to pick it up."

Liang Qu wanted to show the feathers to his senior brother, so he shook his head: "No, I will also go to the town today." ”

"Okay, take it, your money."

After getting the money, Liang Qu turned around and came to the boat, he soaked the linen clothes he took off in cold water, wrapped his feathers and walked home, passing by the fishing pen, where there were also people selling fish.

"Songbao, help me weigh it again, is it wrong, look at how big this fish is."

"Uncle Chen Hu, didn't you weigh it just now, fifty-three wen is right, deducting forty and a half of the leased fishing boat, it is thirty wen."

"This, this is too little, Songbao, you raise your hand, more, more." The dark-skinned middle-aged fisherman smiled and raised his hand vigorously, "My kid is only eight years old, and he is growing his body, you have seen it, it is so big, call it your brother." ”

"It's really not good, last time I gave you an extra five wen, and I was scolded by my father when I went back, and Uncle Tiger, you also know that the Yunjiang Port next to it will take fifty percent of the cut."

"Hey......"

On the bluestone street, Liang Qu listened to it for a long time, and the cold linen cloth in his hand was hot, and then slowly paced home.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the water temperature is even lower, and your hands will freeze purple after soaking in the water for a while.

Too cold, the fish will metabolize slower, reduce the need for food, and will congregate in deep water, where it is warm enough.

If they don't come out, they don't move, they stay deep, and with the fishing methods of the fishermen, they can't catch them at all, and they can't sell them if they catch them, because the water flow is slow, the oxygen content is low, the material circulation is small, and the fish have nothing to eat, and they are thin and small......

The bluestone slabs are not as dark as they were two months ago, and every winter is the same, as if all the brilliance has been frozen and shrunk.

There were more sallow-faced women in the yellow mud alleys on both sides of the stone road than in autumn, wrapped in old yellowed jackets, curled up on the steps, and would look up whenever the stone slabs clattered.

Liang Qu saw a girl as big as him sitting on the steps and smiling at him, the malnourished face was thin and yellow, and the hair was yellow and like weeds, which was not good at all, he lowered his head and walked by expressionlessly.

In addition to the women in old jackets, there were many more children in the Yellow Muddy Alley, who gathered together to burn the dry wood that they had picked up from nowhere, the eldest was thirteen or fourteen years old, with sad faces, and the younger was only five or six years old, with long snots of clear water, and played some finger games together.

There are also old women begging along the streets.

"Whew~"

A thick mist erupted from his mouth and nose, and Liang Qu stood in place for a long time.

"Niang Xipi!"

......

"Hey!"

Liang Qu screamed, put the oil paper bag on the ground, turned around and left.

"What is this?" A boy stepped forward, pinched his fingers to open the oiled paper bag, and shouted, "Ah, Baozi, it's Baozi!" There are so many buns, there are more than 10 of them! ”

"yes, it's a hot bun."

"Don't rob, don't rob, it's all there."

"I'll divide it, I'll divide it, brother, you're the youngest, eat two."

......

A few alleys outside, Liang Qu put down the oil paper bags one by one and left quickly.

It's fucking annoying.

The two coins are gone.

Liang Qu suddenly became annoyed, there was no object, no origin, no purpose, just annoyed.

It may be annoyed that he is excessively kind, it may be annoyed that he is fucked up by the world, or he may be annoyed that the poor creatures are dangling in front of their eyes.

There seemed to be fire flowing in the veins, and it was cold all around, only he was as hot as coals.

Exhaled a few deep breaths before Liang Qu calmed down.

When he got home, he threw the demon feathers wrapped in linen, which was almost hot and dry, into the frozen water tank, and it didn't take long for the ice to be heated, and the cloth feathers were submerged in the water.

Liang Qu took a stance and began to refine the skin.

The day of breaking the barrier is getting closer and closer, and it is almost a kick in the door.

Everything that Liang Qu has now can be described as an alternative "dog fighting human power", but as long as he becomes a real martial artist, he will rely on himself to complete the transformation, which is equivalent to ordinary people becoming talents.

The blood swirled, and suddenly spread to the limbs and hundreds of remains, flowing towards the superficial epithelium.

After a long time, the reddened skin gradually returned to its normal rosy color.

Liang Qu could feel that his body was tough again, although there was no change to the touch, but once he was attacked, some kind of deep change would occur, and he would become very tough.

The progress in strength made most of his depressed mood dissipate, and he took the pastries he had bought before and went to Chen Qingjiang's house on the side.

Two days late, fortunately the pastries I bought were basically peach crisps, and they were not easy to spoil in winter, so they didn't change much from when I first bought them.

Knock on the courtyard door.

"Who?"

"Me!"

"It seems to be Ah Shui's voice, I'll take a look."

"Ah Shui? Qingjiang, you have to thank people. ”

"I know, Dad."

Voices of conversation could be heard in the room.

A small head suddenly popped up on the low wall on the side: "Ah, it's Brother Shui!" ”

Liang Qu picked up the wooden box in his hand and shook it twice: "Shunzi, open the door for me and give you something delicious." ”

"It's coming!"

Xiao Shunzi jumped off the stool, kicked to the gate of the courtyard and opened the door, and rushed over impatiently, Liang Qu opened the box with a smile, took out a piece of peach cake and stuffed it into Junzi's hand.

"Hmm, it's so sweet!"

Junko stuffed it to the brim in one mouthful, and held the fallen crumbs in the other hand, her face full of shock.

Chen Qingjiang had just arrived at the door, and was surprised when he saw the sign of Wufangzhai: "Ah Shui, why do you eat such a valuable thing for Shunzi, and you are trampling things!" ”
