A net was cast, loaded with schools of river fish jumping in the net, their scales refracting silver in the sunlight.

Grandpa put away the fishing nets with sweat on his head, and his face showed the joy of a good harvest.

In the middle of the river, the stone stood like a stone, and from time to time longfin fish with sharp teeth swam by. These fish swim extremely fast in the water, and their strength is so great that they are so fierce that few people dare to stand in the middle of the river, because if they are attacked by a school of albacore, the fate will be very miserable.

But the stone doesn't care about that.

He had a small hole in one of his fingers, and he put it in the river, and a little blood flowed out. A longfin fish smelled blood and wagged its tail at the finger.

Didn't bite it.

The stone's thumb pressed lightly on the albacore's head, and the fierce fish immediately fainted. Then he didn't look at it, threw it back, "plopped", and the big fish landed on the deck, extremely quiet. Simone scrambled to grab the albacore and put it in the boat's large tank.

Counting, this is already Article 20.

"That's enough, that's enough, come up, Brother Stone!" Simone shouted waving at Stone.

Stone walked back to the boat step by step......: "Why? Catch more. ”

"There's no need. Simone replied very seriously: "We have caught a lot, and in the past we could only get one or two albacores a day, but now we can get one or twenty a day at once, which is enough." You see, now grandpa has nothing to do, so he can only play with small fish by himself. ”

"But...... I can catch more. The stone repeated this with some sloppiness.

"I know. Simone touched the face of the stone lovingly: "But there really is no need. This river is a reward from the gods, but there is a limit to the reward. We can't catch the fish in the river indefinitely, that would make them extinct, and it would leave future generations with no fish to eat. It's not good for us, or for others. We are now making a pretty good income, and we can sell some fish at the market for a good price. ”

Looking at Simone in bewilderment, the stone thought for a moment with some difficulty, and then said, "You...... It's easy to be content. ”

"If you don't have the ability to satisfy yourself, then at least learn to control your own **. Simone replied.

"It's ...... Who said that?" the confusion in the stone's eyes increased.

God told us that. Simone clenched her hands into small fists and placed them on her chest, closing her eyes in thanks.

Over time, the stone has basically no problem speaking. However, his memory has not been restored, and his personality is still cold. Perhaps the only exception to Simone, he only talked to Simone, and even his grandfather didn't want to talk to him.

At this moment, he looked at Simone's prayer, thought about it, knelt beside Simone, and prayed together.

He looked very reverent.

After praying, Simone stood up: "Okay, it's still early, I'm going to the market to sell fish." Brother Shi, stay here, don't go anywhere, and wait for me to come back to make fish soup for you. ”

"I want to go too. ”

Simone and Grandpa were on the same page.

For the first time, Stone asked to go to the fair with Simone.

"You're going to the market with me?" Simone asked, surprised.

"Yes. Stone nodded affirmatively.

"But there are a lot of people there, don't you hate talking to people?"

"Lots of fish...... It's heavy...... I don't want you to get tired. The stone looked into Simone's eyes and replied earnestly.

Simone stared blankly at the stone, then suddenly threw herself into his arms and hooked his neck.

She gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Grandpa turned his head to look at the sky with a very interesting look, and entered the cabin with his hands behind his back.

—————————————

The market is in a small town about three miles from the river.

Every morning, fishermen by the river, farmers from the village, and some handicraftsmen come here to sell their wares and buy their own necessities.

Since the introduction of stones to help them fish, Simone has significantly increased their harvest and has become the largest supplier of albacore fish in the area.

In the past, Simone and her grandfather drove the waterwheel to the bazaar, which was rented and paid ten silver vetts a day. But today, Shi alone solved this problem - he directly carried the large tank containing dozens of long-finned fish on his back, like a porter against Mount Tai, attracting the attention of countless people along the way.

Simone felt pity for the stone, but this guy was so powerful that he didn't even need to stop and breathe, and Simone didn't even have a chance to wipe his sweat.

When they arrived at the market, the stone lowered the tank to the ground, and Simone began to sell it.

"Sell albacores! One Kinwitt! Come and see, they're all very big, and they just caught today." "Simone's voice is sweet.

Albacores have always been expensive in the market due to their ferocity, bloodthirstiness, difficulty to catch and delicious taste. The average fisherman can catch one or two a day is the income of one or two Jinvit, and if you add some small fish, then this day is a good harvest.

But Simone has been selling 2o 2o pieces a day lately, which has to be said to be a miracle.

What is it that makes a fisherman girl have such a good harvest?

Due to the hot sales of albacore, there is no need to worry about sales. Some aristocrats were often represented here for long-term acquisitions.

Simone's sale didn't last long before a chubby aristocratic representative bought all twenty albafinfish in one go. When the twenty Kinvet were handed over to Simone, the fat representative made a special remark: "Little girl, you have been very remarkable lately." So much to catch every day. ”

This is a gift from God. Simone replied with a smile.

"It turned out to be a devout saint, and that's good. ”

The big fish are sold out, and there are still some small fish to deal with. Simone was a little impatient to wait for a long time, so she simply lowered the price and disposed of it all. After getting another gold vett, Simone counted the glittering gold coins, and couldn't be happier.

Then she shoved a large handful of Jinwitt into the stone's hands: "Help me keep an eye on them, and don't let anyone take them." ”

The stone was indifferent to this. In fact, from the beginning to the end of the fish sale, he stood there motionless like a stake. To him, nothing else made sense except Simone.

When Simone told him to keep an eye on the money, he clutched the gold coin very tightly.

"Maybe someone can make an exception. A voice suddenly came.

Not far away stood five or six men, one of whom was a one-eyed dragon with a two-headed wolf of hell in his hand. This Gale Two-Headed Wolf is a sixth-level Demonic Beast, it has two heads, and it is a fairly powerful melee Demonic Beast. Its appearance was fierce and fierce, its huge fangs exposed, and saliva flowed from its two large mouths from time to time, and a low roar came out of its throat.

If it hadn't been for the one-eyed dragon holding it all along, perhaps it would have pounced on all the humans it could see.

When Simone saw the one-eyed dragon coming, she hurriedly walked a few steps and stopped at a distance of about five meters from the hell two-headed wolf: "It turned out to be Young Master Fae, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Happy?" the one-eyed dragon pouted, "No one here is happy to see me, no one has ever been." If you're really happy to see me, it just means I'm being too kind. In fact, I think I've been a little kind lately. ”

Stone came to Simone's side: "Who is he?"

"He's a ......" Simone was thinking about what words to use to describe the man in front of him when the one-eyed dragon had already said, "it's a scoundrel, a villain, a bastard, a being who curses everyone, a vampire who sucks the blood of these poor fellows." You may call me that, Simeone's chosen boy, I've heard of you, a wretched creature who has lost his memory. He didn't even know from which woman's hole he had fallen from. Hahahaha. ”

Several people around the one-eyed dragon laughed at the same time.

Then the one-eyed dragon stretched out his hand: "Bring it." ”

Simone sighed, and he said to the stone, "Would you like to give me fifty silver Virt?"

"Why?" the stone didn't understand. Just now, Simone told herself to take good care of the money.

"He charges a conservation fee here, fifty silver vetts per day for each stall. If we don't, we don't want to do business here. ”

"That's right. The one-eyed dragon laughed, "But it's not fifty silver Wirts anymore, it's ten gold Wirts." ”

"What are you talking about?" Simone cried out in disbelief, "What are you kidding, Master Fae, no one can accept this price!"

"Of course, no one else can, but you can. You sold another twenty albacores today, and you got a total of twenty-one Kinvet. The cyclops exclaimed excitedly, "I didn't say anything when you sold so much on the first day. Someone will always have good luck, and I won't raise the price for that. But when you sell like this every day, the nature is different. ”

The one-eyed dragon shook his finger: "The price has changed, the protection fee is ten gold vett, I know you can afford it." ”

"Just me?" Simone asked.

"Of course, who says you're the only one who has such a harvest. I didn't ask you for the last few days of earning you cheaply, chick. ”

"It's so unfair, Master Farger. Simone cried out.

"Fair?" the one-eyed dragon laughed, "Are you talking to the rascals about fairness? Are you kidding, Simone. Now, I warn you, either keep the money and give me a roll back to fishing. Either ......"

He swept Simone's body, and then smiled evilly: "Either you spend the night with me today, I can consider not giving you a price increase, of course, only today." Ten Jinwit a night, the price I give you is not low. ”

Simone trembled with anger, but she couldn't accept the one-eyed dragon's threat. After all, it's the only market in the area.

She whispered, "God will punish you." ”

Then she looked at the stone with a pleading look: "Brother Stone, give them the money." ”

"Why...... Be sure to give...... He didn't have money? He didn't have ...... Get involved in our ...... Labor. ”

Simone smiled bitterly, she didn't know how to explain to the stone, before that she had been teaching the stone all kinds of truths, all kinds of knowledge and principles of life, but she never told the stone that the world is not all light, there is always a dark side.

"Because...... Because ......" Simone stammered and couldn't speak.

"Because we have this. In the distance, the one-eyed dragon shook his fist, and then he pointed to the two-headed wolf of hell that he had strangled himself, "And this one." ”

Stone looked at the two-headed wolf, he pointed at it, and looked at the one-eyed dragon with questioning eyes, the one-eyed dragon nodded: "That's right, it's it, hand over the money, or I'll let it bite you to death, Simone you know I can and dare to do this." ”

Simone trembled and said, "Give him money, he can do it." ”

Stone looked at Simone, then at the one-eyed dragon.

He seemed to be confused, puzzled, and like he was thinking about something.

Finally, he strode towards the cyclops.

He didn't take out the money, but looked at the hellish two-headed wolf led by the one-eyed dragon.

Just stared at it like that.

The two-headed wolf of hell kept growling and roaring under his breath, staring at him with his tail clamped against the stone.

But for some reason, the Helltwo-Headed Wolf suddenly shuddered and stopped roaring, its eyes gradually became frightened, and its whole body began to curl up.

It lay on the ground and cried out pitifully like a puppy: "Woo......"

It seems to be extremely aggrieved.

The sight amazed everyone.

Stone coldly watched as the Hellweed Wolf looked down, and he took two steps back to Simone's side.

He said seriously, "That wolf...... Not fierce. ”

Then he took Simone's hand and walked away.

A group of scoundrels who collected protection money watched them walk away, and no one stepped forward to stop them.

The one-eyed dragon was also stunned.

"How did that guy do that?" he asked.

No one could answer.

Curious, the cyclops approached his dog, looked at it, and punched it on both heads: "Hey, you idiot, how did you become so useless? What are you doing? Who drugged you?

He was a little angry, and his beating hands became heavy, and he didn't notice that as the stone faded away, the Helltwo-Headed Wolf's eyes changed color again, and the bloody aura was returning to its body. He was still confused, and he even broke the wolf's head and looked inside, muttering, "What the hell is wrong? You shouldn't be so gentle, you should be cruel, violent, inhuman." ”

"Uhh

The large mouth is closed.

"Oh!!" There was an earth-shattering cry in the bazaar.
