Chapter 48 Great Tonic
[Golden loach: a strange fish, golden in color, good at digging holes. ]
[It contains spiritual charm, delicious and nourishing meat, can nourish yin and yang, and is a great tonic. ]
[It is rumored that golden loach always appears in pairs, male and female, inseparable, and never wanders alone. ]
Looking at the creature in the bucket with a white and red glow, shaped like a loach, Lu Qing was surprised.
Sure enough, this guy is a strange fish.
And it is a strange fish of the same level as the red moon carp.
What surprised Lu Qing even more was the information on the third note.
This golden loach always comes in pairs and never appears alone.
So, there is another golden loach under the water!
Although I don’t know if the other golden loach was scared away after all the trouble just now, Lu Qing still wants to try.
He hung a blood apricot fruit on the fishhook again and sank it to the bottom of the water.
I thought I would have to wait for a long time this time, or even in vain.
However, what Lu Qing didn't expect was that not long after the hook was put down, he saw the float suddenly sink into the water.
"So fast?!"
Lu Qing was a little caught off guard, but he reacted quickly and grabbed the fishing rod immediately.
Next, there was no suspense.
After another fight of courage and strength, another golden loach was caught by him.
Looking at the two golden loaches in the bucket, Lu Qing fell into silence.
It seems that he still underestimated the attraction of blood apricots to strange fish.
It is indeed extraordinary that it can be called a strange fruit by the supernatural power.
I don't know what is so strange about it that it can attract these strange fish to eat it one after another.
Lu Qing put away a few blood apricots and planned to find a time to ask his master if he knew about this strange fruit.
Lu Qing hung another blood apricot and continued fishing.
But this time, his luck was not so good.
He waited for a long time, but no fish was caught.
Not to mention strange fish, even ordinary fish were not seen.
"Strange, could it be that these strange fish have a sense of territory? Only one kind will appear each time?" Lu Qing was a little surprised.
He thought about it, lifted the fishhook, and replaced it with an earthworm.
He sank the fishhook into the water again, and this time, a fish soon bit the hook.
With a beautiful hook, a small white fish floated in the air and kept shaking its tail.
Looking at the small white fish on the hook, Lu Qing was silent.
"You are really everywhere."
Feeling that there should be no strange fish under the bottom, Lu Qing did not replace the blood apricot.
Instead, he continued to fish with earthworms.
After a while, he pulled the rod continuously and caught dozens of small white fish.
So many small white fish, plus the leftovers at home, should be enough for the black beast to have a good meal.
After catching enough food for the black beast, Lu Qing prepared to put away the rod.
It was a pity, he originally wanted to catch one or two big fish today to give the black beast a good meal.
But I don't know if it's because of the golden loach, today's big fish disappeared without a trace.
Even if he changed the corn to hang it halfway, there was no movement.
There was no way to catch it, so he could only let the black beast down and continue to eat the small fish, anyway, the small fish tasted good.
"Xiaoyan, let's go, go back."
After packing up, Lu Qing carried the bucket and shouted to Xiaoyan who was lying on the grass not far away and playing something.
"Come on, brother."
The little girl ran back happily, holding a small bunch of wild flowers in her hand.
It turned out that she went to pick wild flowers just now.
"Brother, look, these are the flowers I just picked, are they beautiful?"
Xiaoyan raised the bouquet in her hand to show off to Lu Qing.
"Beautiful."
Lu Qing nodded, saw some grass leaves on the little girl's head, and picked them off casually.
"Hehe, I knew that brother would definitely like it."
Xiaoyan was praised and felt happy.
Lu Qing saw the little girl's happy look, and his heart suddenly moved.
"Xiaoyan, you accompany your brother to fish every day, will you feel bored?"
"What is boring?" The little guy tilted his head and asked in confusion.
"Uh...will you feel unhappy?" Lu Qing changed his words.
"No, as long as she is with her brother, Xiaoyan will not be unhappy." The little guy said seriously, "There are flowers to pick here, and there are butterflies, it's fun!"
"...Okay."
Lu Qing had nothing to say.
Originally, he thought that if Xiaoyan felt bored, he should leave her in the village to play with other children next time he went out fishing.
Anyway, after dinner, she often ran out to play with her friends in the village.
Now that she doesn't feel that way, let's talk about it later.
After returning home, Lu Qing poured out the small fish, leaving only two golden loaches in the bucket, and fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about how to deal with these two golden loaches.
Sell them or keep them for himself.
In fact, Lu Qing was more inclined to eat them.
First, if he sold them, his master had no time to go to the city recently, and he didn't know how long these two golden loaches could survive after leaving the river.
If they died in two days, it would be a big loss.
Secondly, he was not as short of money as before.
Strange fish are hard to come by, and if he sold them, he would feel a bit of a loss.
The last one was that the efficacy of the golden loach made him very excited.
According to the introduction of the superpower, this golden loach is a great tonic.
Now that he has mastered Yangshengquan, it is almost certain that he will enter the Qi and Blood Realm.
The only thing lacking was that due to a serious illness before, his body bones had always been relatively weak and he was not very good at it.
These two golden loaches may allow him to make up for this shortcoming.
After thinking for a while, Lu Qing finally decided to stay and eat both golden loaches.
But even though he decided to eat it, Lu Qing had no intention of keeping it to himself.
Instead, I plan to take it to the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain tomorrow and enjoy it with Master.
The red moon carp last time was originally intended to be given to the master, but in the end it was sold for money.
After becoming a disciple, Lu Qing has never been able to repay his master with anything, he just accepted the favor blindly.
This time it was rare to catch another strange fish, just in time for Master to have a good taste.
Lu Qing's plan was very good, but at night, something unexpected happened.
After Xiaoyan fell asleep, the little black beast came to scratch the door again.
As usual, Lu Qing took a basin of fish out and placed it on the ground.
What he didn't expect was that the little black beast that used to come up to feast on the fish as soon as he released it did not come forward this time.
Instead, he twitched his nose a few times, and then his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something, and he circled around Lu Qing.
After turning around a few times, he sat there and looked at him quietly.
"What's wrong, don't you want to eat? Today I specially added some fish for you." Lu Qing said a little strangely.
This little thing has changed his gender and doesn’t even care about fish anymore?
"Ouch!"
The little black beast suddenly screamed softly, startling Lu Qing.
This was the first time he heard this guy scream.
He had heard its sound before, in the first few nights.
But at that time it was a low growl with a warning meaning, which was very different from the cry now.
The current meow is a bit like a cat's meow, childish and cute, but also quite pleasant.
But Lu Qing didn't care whether the little black beast's voice sounded good or not.
Because he found that after the little thing finished calling, he looked straight into the room behind him.
To be precise, the direction of the kitchen in the house.
Thinking of how the little black beast smelled his scent just now, Lu Qing suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Could this little thing..."
