Chapter 34: Catching Crabs

When Mr. and Mrs. Li Ji saw the iron card, they were taken aback. Li Ji said: "Daddy, this Xuantie card has a great origin, put it on Longyan, I'm afraid it will be ...... I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Xia Shiyu said: "What's wrong? This is a real treasure! How many people can't wear it if they want to!"

Li Ji said: "No, no, I mean, put this on Long Yan, for fear of causing trouble to him." You also said that this is a sacred relic of the Blood Sect a hundred years ago, and this Blood Sect has a very close relationship with the current Demon Sect, if the people in the Demon Sect find out, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Long Yan.

Xia Shiyu smiled and said, "Of course I know what you said." But you only know one thing, you don't know the other. Gang Master Sun also told me about the Demon Sect, and he said that since the great changes in the sect 80 years ago, the Demon Sect has set new canons, and those who have not found the holy relics of the sect are not allowed to take up the position of the sect leader, no matter how high their position is; for those who have found the holy relics, there are two situations: if they are disciples in the sect, those with the position of elder or below can be promoted to the rank of elder; and those who have the position of elder or above can be promoted to the deputy of the sect leader. As for the true master, there is still something else to contribute. This is one of them.

"Second, if a non-sect disciple finds a holy relic, he will first be persuaded to join the sect and be regarded as an elder, without real power, and only enjoy the honorable position. If you refuse to join the sect, you will not be reluctant, no one in the sect will be allowed to harm you, and the Holy Blood Sect will try its best to fulfill one of this person's wishes. At present, if Longyan is really targeted by the masters in the Holy Blood Gate, this Xuantie card is tantamount to a magic weapon to protect one's life. ”

Li Ji and his wife looked at each other, and they didn't know whether to agree or not.

Xia Shiyu said: "The information provided by Gang Master Sun should not be false. Let's put this talisman on Long Yan, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Besides, whether that mysterious master is a member of the Demon Sect is just a guess at the moment, if not, wouldn't we be unfounded?"

He flipped the dark iron card in his hand and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the dragon smoke, I would really be reluctant to take out this thing." He handed the iron card to Xia Bai and said: "The thing of Xuantie is extremely hard, and it is extremely difficult to make holes in it, but a hundred years ago, the master of the Blood Sect wore this thing, and he had already punched two holes in it, and I don't know what method to use, but it saved us a lot of things." Look at what you wear so you can wear it for the dragon smoke. ”

He said to Long Yan again: "This brand is extraordinary, after you put it on, you can't easily show it to others, do you know?"

Li Longyan nodded. He originally didn't have any feelings about this dark iron card, it was swarthy and not good-looking, but his grandfather said a lot, and he couldn't help but pay attention to it, thinking that it was right to listen to his grandfather's words.

Li Ji said: "Daddy, you didn't reveal a few treasures of this Blood Sect to Gang Master Sun, did you?"

Xia Shiyu glared and said, "You and I are old and confused, how could I say, this is our secret!"

The sword cheats and Xuantie tokens found on Hidden Dragon Mountain are all extraordinary, and of course Xia Shiyu will not talk about them with others.

He smiled slightly, and said: "With these few things, if my old man joins the Demon Sect, he will be an elder in a stable manner, and maybe he can get a substitute sect leader, hehe!"

Li Ji said with a smile: "If your old man becomes the acting sect leader and immediately orders the withdrawal of the demon sect members in Wangyun Valley, Gang Master Sun will be greatly relieved." ”

Speaking of the matter of Wangyun Valley, Xia Shiyu's eyes lit up, and he said: "By the way, last night I had a trick with the Wood Divine Dragon, and I had a new understanding of the Ice and Snow Phantom Yin Palm; I'll think about it again tonight, and from tomorrow onwards, we'll confirm this palm mystery. ”

In the next few days, Li Ji and Xia Shiyu began to study this Ice and Snow Phantom Yin Palm again, although the internal strength of the Bone Melting and Bone Condensation Method could not be cultivated for the time being, but the intensive study of the moves was also of great help to the attack and defense when facing the enemy.

The Wood Divine Dragon's martial arts are strong, and he has cultivated the Bone Melting Bone Condensation Divine Skill to a high and profound realm, and this set of palm techniques is not the same as that of Elder Bai. Xia Shiyu fought with him in three hands, and the two palms were right, and his feelings about his moves and internal strength were quite open.

He told Li Ji about his feelings, and demonstrated the whole process of fighting with Mu Shenlong, and Li Ji saw it and admired it very much. Based on this, the two of them participated in the study of the way of movement and various changes of this Ice and Snow Phantom Yin Palm.

Li Longyan ran to the east of the town again the next morning, wanting to see if Xiaofei was free. He also carried a small bamboo basket, thinking that if he really wanted to catch crabs, he could use this bamboo basket to put it on.

When I arrived at the thyme flower shop, I saw Xiao Fei sitting at the door of the flower shop from a distance, and she also changed her clothes, which seemed to be an outfit that was convenient for outdoor activities. Xiao Fei occasionally looked up and around, as if she was waiting for someone.

Li Longyan peeked at the distance for a while, and smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that this girl was also looking forward to going out to play. He came to the flower shop and shouted, "Xiaofei, are you free today?" Let's go catch crabs." ”

Xiaofei saw that it was him, and said happily: "Yes, I told my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law said that as long as you come, she will help me guard the shop and let me play with you." ”

Li Longyan said: "Hey, you seem to know that I am coming today, and you have even changed your clothes! Are you a god operator?

Xiaofei's face turned red, gave him a white look, and said angrily: "Where did I know that you were coming today, I was afraid of when you came, and I didn't have time to prepare, so I changed this clothes first." If you come, we can travel quickly. ”

Li Longyan was both moved and glad at the same time, thinking to himself that if I had come a few days later, wouldn't you have to wait for several days in this dress? Fortunately, I came here today and didn't let her wait for a long time. This Xiaofei is real, and she is really a good girl.

In fact, both of them were afraid that the other would wait for a long time, one changed his clothes in advance, and the other came the next day.

He saw that Xiaofei also placed a small bamboo basket at his feet, which contained some snacks and pastries, most of which he bought for him yesterday. Li Longyan scratched his head and praised: "Xiaofei, you are still thoughtful and have prepared these foods." ”

Xiao Fei smiled and said, "You bought them yesterday, I was lazy, so I brought them by the way." Brother Long Yan, wait a minute, I'll go talk to my mother-in-law. ”

After a while, Xiaofei and her mother-in-law came out together, Xiaofei had another small pot in her hand, and her mother-in-law was carrying a bag of dry firewood in her hand. The mother-in-law smiled and said, "If you want to catch crabs, you might as well catch them and cook them and eat them in the wild, which is delicious and fun." I also have some ginger vinaigrette and rice wine here, you can bring them with you, and add the rice wine to the crab when you cook it. When cooking things in the wild, you must have something to start a fire, and you can also carry this bag of dry firewood to make a fire. ”

Li Longyan was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward to take Chai He, and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law!"

The mother-in-law smiled, "I want to thank you." Xiaofei has been with me all these years, and she doesn't have any playmates, so it's rare that you are willing to accompany her; Three miles out of town, there is a small stream, don't run too far, and in late autumn, the water is cold, don't go into the water for too long. ”

The two agreed in unison. Li Longyan carried a bamboo basket on his back, carried firewood and a pot, and Xiaofei carried a small bamboo basket, said goodbye to his mother-in-law, and went out of town.

The warm autumn sun shines brightly, and the breeze of the distant mountains blows across the cheeks, refreshing and comfortable. The hearts of two boys and girls are filled with unprecedented joy and joy.

*

The clear stream was in their eyes, the two put down the things in their hands, and Li Longyan said: "You just stay on the shore, I'll catch crabs." ”

When he was in Longyang Village, every autumn, Li Longyan always had to catch crabs in the mountain stream with his friends, and over the years, he was already a good hand at catching crabs.

He rolled up his trousers and went to the stream to remove the stones, and in a short time he had caught four or five, one of which was very large, and threw all the crabs he caught into the small bamboo basket.

Xiaofei picked up stones around, built a small stove, put the pot on it, stuffed the dry wood and dry branches underneath, and then walked to the stream to watch Li Longyan catch crabs. After watching it for a while, my heart itched, and I began to move stones and learn to catch crabs.

Li Longyan smiled: "You see crabs, do you dare to catch them?"

Xiao Fei grinned and said, "Don't dare, I can ask you to arrest it!"

Li Longyan smiled, walked upstream for a while, grabbed a few more, and when he looked in the basket, there were already seventeen or eight, which was almost enough.

These crabs are of different sizes, and there are only four or five of them that are really big, and Li Longyan doesn't care about it, anyway, he is eating and playing, and he didn't expect to rely on them to fill his stomach.

When I looked at Xiaofei, I was still looking for crabs there with great interest, but I didn't seem to find them.

Li Longyan went over and instructed her on the essentials of finding crabs. However, this catch of crabs sometimes depends on luck, Xiaofei turned over four or five stones in a row, but still didn't find it.

Li Longyan laughed and said, "You're too unlucky! You play first, and I'll boil the water." ”

Xiaofei was not convinced, and while Li Longyan was scooping water, she turned over a few more stones, and suddenly shouted: "Oh, Brother Longyan, come on, it's such a big one!"

Li Longyan walked over quickly, and sure enough, under a stone that Xiaofei turned over, a crab crawled out, and the crab was the size of a tea cup lid.

Li Longyan sighed, went up and grabbed it, looked at it, and said, "It's really big! Xiaofei, you are so powerful, this crab is the biggest one!"

Xiao Fei was elated and said with a smile: "Ha, my luck is not very bad, it is bigger than what you caught!"

Li Longyan nodded again and again, and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad, it's much better than me! The crabs have been caught enough, let's cook them and eat them!"

Light the fire and boil the water, sprinkle with salt and rice wine, and when the water is boiling, pour the crabs into it one by one. Xiaofei took out two wooden bowls and poured ginger vinegar sauce.

After a while, the pot was boiling again, and after waiting for a while, Li Longyan sniffed it and said, "Okay, it's ready to eat." ”

He picked out the largest one, put it in Xiaofei's bowl, and said, "This is your reward." You, apprentice, are more powerful than my master as soon as you make a move, but you can teach me to die of shame!"

Xiaofei chuckled and said, "It's still the master who is amazing, without you teaching me, I wouldn't have found such a big one, and the master should also get some rewards." She broke off two crab claws and a few paws and put them in Li Long's cigarette bowl.

The crab fragrance is overflowing. The two of them sat on the mountain and wild grass, tasting the brook crabs, only to feel that they were extremely delicious, and it seemed that the crabs served out by the big restaurant were far inferior to the pot cooked in front of them.

After a while, the two of them ate five or six. Xiao Fei sucked her fingers and scooped up another one.

I really couldn't stop, and when I stopped for a while, my mouth was full of freshness, and I wanted to eat it again.
