Storm of Kings

Chapter 10 Departure

The sky was getting brighter, and the water surface of Longjingtan "crashed", and two heads came out.

Zhou Lie and Xu Tianbao swam to the shore with fishing nets, and Zu Wanhao stood on the shore and hurriedly picked up clothes.

"My God! Freeze, freeze me to death..." Xu Tianbao's lips were purple with cold. He barely swam to the shore and couldn't stand up. Zhou Lie's complexion was much better.

The fat man hurriedly put on overcoats for the two of them. When he looked at the silver fish that kept pounding in the fishing net, he smiled and said, "Good harvest. The two brothers have worked hard in the dark, but it is best to seize the time to catch another net There has been movement in the village. It is estimated that it will take a long time for the team to start. The big tank I borrowed from my sixth uncle has not yet been filled."

Xu Tianbao rolled his eyes and cursed: "Fatty man, you really want money for life!"

As he was talking, he heard a "plop" behind him, and Zhou Lie had already dived into the bottomless pool with a spare fishing net.

The fat man rubbed his hands with joy, and exclaimed: "People sometimes have to be cruel to themselves. Look at the strength of Brother Lie, it will be difficult to think about underdevelopment in the future."

"Bah, I don't see you being cruel to yourself."

Xu Tianbao kicked the fat man with anger, and then he looked at the rising sun and said: "No matter how hard we work, we only seek food and clothing. I know Brother Lie's wish. He wants to go out of the mountain village and go outside."

"Don't you want to?"

The fat man asked back, and then, like Xu Tianbao, looked at the rising sun and sighed: "Ah! Who of the three of us don't want? Brother Lie can't leave his mother and sister behind."

At this moment, Zhou Lie had dived to a depth of 30 meters, and his body was walking along the winding waterway, crossing the ten-meter dragon neck, and his eyes suddenly widened.

There were a few blind fish not far away, but he didn't mean to start at all.

Being alone underwater, the surroundings were quiet and cold, Zhou Lie was about to use this opportunity to calm himself down.

In the past three days, he has been frightened, even though it looks more like a dream.

Cao Hongbin sent him a lot of things. In addition to gold and silver jewelry 700 years ago, there were also various books, daggers, binoculars, folding crossbows, compasses, and so on.

These "babies" are so many that they have to borrow the coffins prepared by the village elders for their backs, but problems arise.

If you take out so much gold and silver, it is very likely that you will attract bandits.

You must know that there are only seven or eight miles from the village to the town, but every time you go out you must be careful and fully armed to guard against all kinds of bandits and faint crows.

It is precisely because of the existence of these bandits and faint crows that the villages and towns are obviously close, but they seem to be far away.

Surrounded by cold water, Zhou Lie kept reminding himself: "Be careful not to be careless. Brother Cao is right. In this age, there is no legal restraint. As long as there is a little wrong, I have no strength to protect myself and my family. It’s easy to lead to misfortune."

"Mentality! Yes, that's the word, mentality."

"Cao Geqian exhorted me to keep me in a good state of mind and not be blinded by temporary benefits. It only takes a few years and when I grow up, I will be able to leave the mountain village."

Feeling his mentality gradually calmed down, Zhou Lie couldn't help smiling.

He couldn't get rid of his youth, thinking that his mother and sister would no longer have to worry about money.From now on, what really needs to worry about is how to exchange gold and silver for food. It is inevitable that I will be excited, so I have fun.

After smiling, he converged his expression very well, and decided to use this smile as a dividing line to make himself more alert and stronger, so that he could do his best to complete the task entrusted by Brother Cao and find out that the demon star destroyed seven hundred years ago. The specific situation of the earth...

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed, Zu Wanhao and Xu Tianbao looked towards the water very anxiously.

The fat man patted his thigh straight: "Why isn't this guy coming up yet? Brother Lie doesn't have to work hard if he wants to make more money! It will be fatal if he doesn't come out again.

"Little crow's mouth." Xu Tianbao stepped out of his coat and was about to get into the water. When the water turned up, Zhou Lie swam slowly towards the shore holding a silver blind fish with thick thighs.

Zu Wanhao widened his eyes and howled loudly: "Oh my God! Is this a blind fish? No, it must be a blind fish, the ancestor of the blind fish."

Zhou Lie shook the drops of water on his head and laughed loudly: "Today broke the record! Dive to a very deep place, where the blind fish are very big, I picked the biggest catch."

The fat man beamed his eyebrows, clapped his hands and said, "Great! The bigger the blind fish, the more valuable it is. I guess this blind fish can sell at least four silver coins. No, it can be sold for four times the price in the town. Sixteen, sixteen silver coins!"

Zhou Lie said casually: "It's just good luck."

At this moment, there was a whistle in the distance, followed by a dull cow cry.

"No, the team is about to start." The three of them were shocked at the same time, and hurried to the blue-black tank not far away.

Zhou Lie put the large blind fish into the tank, put the lid on, and then grabbed the bronze wall ring outside the tank, and together with the two of them, they carried the rough and rough big guy "huhhuhuh" to the village.

When the three of them arrived at the village, they saw more than 20 stone-skinned black cows with their sturdy tails, pulling their carts towards the high fence in the distance.

"Oh, let me go. You will leave the car if Fatty doesn't come. You don't even have breakfast. Is there anything on your back?"

Xu Tianbao shouted: "Hurry up, don't grind, just your body shape is still on the front of the back?"

Suddenly, Zhou Lie heard a familiar voice: "Brother, here."

"It's Xiaohuan." Zu Wanhao saw Xu Xiaohuan sitting in the penultimate ox cart, and he couldn't help but smiled: "This girl is sensible, it seems that we have reserved a place for the three brothers in advance.

The three people continued to work hard to lift the big tank into the bullock cart, and when they found a place to sit down, the cart was just packed.

Zhou Lie asked his sister: "Why are you here? This time I went to town, but there were places, and I was afraid that the road would be uneven, so I went back quickly."

Xu Xiaohuan was sitting on the edge of the car with her legs drooping, and a blue cloth bag was next to her. Her big eyes flickered and flickered so bright that others would not dare to look at her.Of course, except for Zhou Lie.

"Brother, are you worried about Xu Shaoyou's trouble? It just so happened that he couldn't get it off, so I made it up temporarily."

"Will it be possible?" Zhou Lie twitched, knowing that this was the girl who was worried about him, so he came to help.As for the unsuccessful subordinate, this will definitely heal his nose and face!

At this time, the sound of horseshoes sounded in the ears, and you saw a tall horse from far and near. On the saddle made by the vines, a young man with sword eyebrows sat on the saddle, with a ring-head knife across his waist and a large bow on his back. .

"Xu Shaoyou..." Fatty and Xu Tianbao were on guard at the same time.

Xu Shaoyou looked at Zhou Lie and then at Xu Xiaohuan, and said with a cold snort: "I don't have time to entangle with you, and you don't deserve me to take the time to deal with it. Take out the Xuanbing Cocoon and forget about the past."

What makes Zhou Lie feel strange is that this servant has heavy and anxious eyes, and he must have encountered something unexpected.
