Volume 1 Local Folk Thoughts Chapter 12 Black Fish Essence

The art of reproduction is a special craft. Mr. Zhang once matched a good breed for livestock, so that the old sow gave birth to more than 100 piglets in a litter, and the litter pigs and cubs did not get sick and could survive, which is really rare.

Mr. Zhang said that although this kind of craft is not decent, but it is very popular among the people, and it can make a lot of money, as long as it is in accordance with the requirements of the owner of the breeder, the good breed is matched and the cubs are born, and the main family provides wine and food, and gives a reward.

After hearing this, Wang Dashi sighed and thought to himself: "The world is so big, there are no wonders, there is such a trade, if I join the livestock industry, learn the craft of livestock reproduction, how good it would be, in the future, I will use ordinary sows and native dogs to breed, give birth to a different kind of treasure, or use sows and boars to breed, and also give birth to a hundred piglets, that is not enough to support my family! I have done a good job and taken the right path, can't I marry a daughter-in-law and not be able to raise a baby?"

At this time, Wang Dashi's embarrassment did not continue, such an opportunity, it was like a smooth road under his feet, he wanted to get rid of the shackles, and he grew up and became a family by himself, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. Zhang, to join the livestock industry and learn the craft of reproduction.

Mr. Zhang's craft is unique, and one son has just taken over, but in addition to it, he only accepts two assistants to form a livestock business. The livestock business is not big, the manpower is small, and the craftsmanship is fine, so it has earned a lot of money and a good reputation on the rural roads. Mr. Zhang didn't want to accept any more apprentices, but when he saw that Wang Dashi was sincere and honest, and his donkey was greedy for other people's food, he couldn't help it, so he made an exception and accepted Wang Dashi as an apprentice. Wang Dashi seemed to have pierced a hole under the dark mud layer, like an egg breaking out of its shell, and he saw a glimmer of hope in a daze.

Wang Lichang was very happy to hear that Wang Dashi wanted to learn the craft, and did not forget to tell the child when he was leaving, so that he could study hard and get ahead in the future.

As the saying goes, if a person has good luck, everything will go well, but if a person is unlucky, good fortune is biased over misfortune, and it is really called sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster will come from heaven.

Mr. Zhang took Wang Dashi with him, walked the streets and alleys, made a lot of money, and returned to the livestock store in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The livestock shop is a small sect in the folk road, nominally a livestock shop, but in fact it is Mr. Zhang's home. Mr. Zhang is rich and wealthy by handicraft, but the reproduction of animals is vulgar and dirty, and his reputation is indecent, so Mr. Zhang wears Confucian clothes to show his elegance, so he does not take "master" but "sir", and his two assistants and apprentice Wang Dashi do not call them "students" with "auxiliary hands", not with "apprentices", but with "students".

Moreover, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the autumn season of giving birth, and Mr. Zhang is ready to go out with his children, students and students. On this day, two people came to the house, one named Wu Lingshan and the other named Lu Dog Bear, and the two were old friends of Mr. Zhang's next door. It is said that in the northeast corner, the land of ancient Chu, there is a black fish lake on the other side of the Linhuai Canal, where the black fish are big and numerous, and the black fish lake is full of storefronts around it, there are Wenmo inns, red courtyards, and wine shops, which have attracted a lot of elegant guests to leave dripping ink and feelings, and also attracted a lot of people in the market to please the flowers and wine, and the color fragrance garden. In addition, there will be a woman who turns into a black fish in the blackfish lake. But what is more interesting is that there is a black fish in the legend of the black fish lake, which can be measured, no one has caught it, according to the local saying, the eyes of the black fish are two black pearls, and when they see the gold net in the water, they are stabbed by the light emitted by the gold net and fall into the net themselves, so only the gold net can stop this big black fish, as long as the black fish is stopped, there will be a woman who has become a black fish spirit at night holding two night pearls to intercede.

Mr. Zhang is skilled in reproduction, and can prepare food for livestock, prescribe medicine for livestock to enhance fertility, and use knives to bring livestock alive...... This craft is unique, and it is difficult to find anyone else in the world. These livestock are a piece of cake in Mr. Zhang's hands, but he has no understanding of the fish and shrimp in the water. He is studious and has been studying the black fish crow, the black fish cub, and this is a good opportunity. In fact, this is all a face-saving idea, and in the deep seat, I want to see the dancing of the women in the Blackfish Lake, or even get the legendary Blackfish, and get a good opportunity to intercede, get the pearl of the night, and understand the legend of the local Blackfish Lake.

Mr. Zhang found someone to compile a golden net, and then found a Taoist to cast a spell on the golden net, left the child to guard the house, and took Wang Dashi to follow Wu Lingshan and the land dog bear to find the black fish lake.

Two months later, the group arrived at Blackfish Lake and stayed at an ordinary inn. Mr. Zhang had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery, so he wanted to jump into the lake and put the gold wire net into the water, but there were too many people watching the Blackfish Lake, and he was afraid of alarming everyone, so he gave up the idea and prepared to choose another time.

A few people ordered drinks and food at the Lake Tavern, and they didn't wait for the dance of the Blackfish Lake woman in the middle of the night. Mr. Zhang refilled two more pots of wine, and after eating some meals, he sent Wu Lingshan and Lu Dog Bear back to sleep.

Mr. Zhang and Wang Dashi returned to the inn, and were about to rest, when a black woman walked into the door, wearing a black cloth robe, embroidered with black blue and white flowers on the robe, and white trim on the cuffs, with a smile on her face, to introduce a woman to Mr. Zhang, saying that this woman is not the mortal world, and is as beautiful as a fairy. While he was talking, a woman outside the door covered her shy face, held a lotus step, and flashed in front of the door gracefully with her waist, which made Mr. Zhang feel refreshed.

The woman was wrapped in black veil, and her bumpy body loomed, revealing a hazy beauty.

Mr. Zhang walked the streets and villages, and saw a lot of beauties, but most of them were simple, but there was no such charming woman, if she could sing a song...... Mr. Zhang's heart was itchy for a while, so he talked to the black woman about the conditions.

As long as Mr. Zhang presents two pairs of raw sheep's hooves and a pair of sheep's heads, he will naturally lead the beauty over, so he will serve and present a night pearl.

Overnight, Mr. Zhang rushed out of the door with a dagger, and soon gave a pair of bloody raw sheep's hooves and a white sheep's head to the black woman.

The black woman grinned darkly, put the sheep's hooves and sheep's head on a plate, set them on the table, turned into a big-tailed black fish, slipped out of the doorway, fell into the lake of black fish, and disappeared.

Mr. Zhang and Wang Dashi were frightened on the spot, and there was no beauty to serve and present the night pearl.

I don't know when it will be dawn, but I can hear a mixed noise outside the door, as if two outsiders were inexplicably cut off their heads and two arms, and they are both dead.

Mr. Zhang and Wang Dashi came over at this time, and were about to go out to find out, when a group of patrols rushed in, preparing to take Mr. Zhang and Wang Dashi away.

The two of them were stunned when they thought about it.

At this time, Mr. Zhang saw that there were sheep's hooves and sheep's head on the plate on the table, but Wu Lingshan's arm and the head of a land dog bear, and his body was full of blood and he was still holding a dagger in his hand.

It's a stolen stolen garment!

It turned out that last night, Mr. Zhang had just left the inn door with a dagger when he saw two sheep grazing in a meadow, and took two sheep's hooves and a sheep's head......

He was blinded by the black fish spirit and killed his companion by mistake......

Why did this vicious thing happen, it was probably because of the calculation that was absorbed by the black fish.

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang Dashi were locked up by the local yamen.

After all, his life is at stake, and Mr. Zhang wants to atone for his life and wait for the beheading and execution after the autumn. Wang Dashi was an accomplice and was imprisoned for half a year before being released.

Mr. Zhang felt sorry for Wang Dashi, and told him when Wang Dashi was leaving, there was a god on Qingyu Mountain, who was a man in the Tao, proficient in folk magic and martial arts, and had no successor, and was trying to find someone who could be trusted......

Wang Dashi and Mr. Zhang said goodbye forever......

In the past six months, Wang Dashi has not made a penny and has not learned the craft, but even so, he did not blame Mr. Zhang at all.

At this time, he was wandering alone on the streets, and he felt the warmth of his home and the harmony of his country......
