Chapter 56: Fishing

Huang Fugui is a few years older than Er Gouzi. When he was in prison last time, one of his legs was broken by the jailer.

He asked a famous doctor to heal his injured leg. Although he could walk, one leg was longer than the other.

After Huang Fugui joined, Er Gouzi threw the book of Hundred Weapons to him and asked him to copy a copy.

After that, Huang Fugui took the book and studied it slowly. He first helped Er Gouzi to make more than a dozen flying knives.

It didn't matter if the style was a bit ugly, as long as it could be thrown from a high altitude to hit people.

However, when Er Gouzi took these flying knives and threw them from the sky, he found that his small goal of hitting people was not easy to achieve.

Many knives fell horizontally, rolled, or with the handle facing down after being thrown down.

Such an effect is not as good as throwing a stone directly.

Huang Fugui could only continue to study and improve.

In addition to studying blacksmithing techniques, Er Gouzi asked Huang Fugui to teach those children to read in his spare time.

Originally, he just wanted him to teach those children, but he didn't expect that every time he taught, more than 300 people would come to learn.

Later, he simply let them study for an hour after dinner every day. As for how much they can learn, it depends on themselves.

In addition to the knife, the goose under his crotch is also a bit bad.

It can only carry him for two or three miles, and at most three or five miles.

He can only let the geese eat better and enhance their strength.

A few days ago, he fed each goose a pill of Peiyuan Guben Pill every day, and the strength of the goose did improve by leaps and bounds.

But soon he encountered a new problem. The total amount of Peiyuan Guben Pills in the black market is so limited.

The main ingredient of Peiyuan Guben Pills requires 50-year-old ginseng, and the annual output is also fixed.

He bought a large number of Peiyuan Guben Pills in a short period of time. The inventory in the black market decreased, and the price naturally rose.

Such a rapid increase will naturally attract the attention of the cultivators in Anchang County, and some people are already secretly investigating the reason.

Er Gouzi was so scared that he dared not buy it again.

He could only buy a batch of auxiliary medicines, and used 20 portions of ginseng to prepare a large batch of Peiyuan Guben Pills.

After using the gourd to improve it, it achieved the same medicinal effect as the genuine product, and was quietly sold on the black market.

The price of Peiyuan Guben Pills slowly dropped again, and many people were no longer so concerned about price fluctuations.

In the following days, he could only make Peiyuan Guben Pills by himself and feed them to the geese.

He still bought Peiyuan Guben Pills from the black market, stored them in the gourd for improvement, and then took them.

But sometimes he would accidentally buy back the Peiyuan Guben Pills he had released, and this kind of pill could no longer be improved when stored in the gourd.

The big goose ate well, continued to grow in size, and its strength was also steadily improving.

At the same time, with Er Gouzi's daily efforts, the corpse poison in his body was finally almost eliminated.

One day, Er Gouzi sat on the bed, took a detoxification pill, and then used rejuvenation to expel the poison and heal his wounds.

There was only one of the dozen zombie claw marks on his body left.

The others have healed, and on his body, which already had many scars, more than a dozen more scars have been added.

At this moment, with the dual effects of the detoxification pill and the rejuvenation technique, some red blood seeped out of the only remaining wound.

At this point, the corpse poison in the body was completely eliminated.

This time, the injury and poisoning lasted for half a year before he was completely recovered.

But his wounds were all healed, but the detoxification pill he ordered had not arrived yet.

If it weren't for his gourd that could enhance the medicinal properties of the detoxification pill, and if he didn't know some healing spells.

Maybe he would have died and might not have waited for the detoxification pill to arrive.

As he continued to perform the rejuvenation technique, a stream of true energy slowly flowed around the wound, and the wound itched and began to heal.

After a while, Er Gouzi got dressed and got out of bed, rode a big goose and flew down Shekou Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, more than a dozen earthen brick houses have been built. So far, although it is a bit crowded, more than 300 people have moved into the new houses.

These 300 people came from different families and were bought back by Er Gouzi for the same reason.

Now they have all merged together and become a super big family.

Qiuyue, the one chosen by Er Gouzi at random, is quite competent and manages all people and things in an orderly manner.

The five-acre pond has not been dug yet, and it is still being dug every day, and the mud dug out is used to build houses.

Er Gouzi rode the goose directly over the foot of the mountain, flew forward over Shexi Village, and then got off the goose's back.

Now it is the spring plowing season. Although it is dry and there is no water, everyone is still trying their best to sow the grain.

Ah Hu's family irrigated the soil for a whole winter last winter, and now the soil is still moist. In time for the spring plowing season, they planted some corn and sesame.

The yield of these two crops is far less than that of rice, but they have a great advantage, which is drought resistance.

Especially sesame, which often has a higher yield in drought years.

As long as some crops can be planted, some can be harvested at that time, and there will be a way to survive without a grain harvest.

As Er Gouzi flew over, he saw many people carrying wooden buckets on their shoulders, carrying a load of water from the Anchang River, and walking a long mountain road back to irrigate the fields.

The Anchang River was about to dry up, with only shallow water in the middle of the river.

In addition to those who carried water to irrigate the fields, there were many children and refugees fishing in the water.

But fish are very agile in the water and not so easy to catch.

This scene aroused Er Gouzi's passion, and he also jumped into the ditch, rolled in mud and water, and caught a big fish weighing more than ten kilograms, which made those children envious.

It is a bit of a waste of talent to use the fourth level of Qi training to catch fish.

When Sima Yi saw Er Gouzi carrying a big fish into Huichun Hall, he couldn't help but laugh and scold.

"You are a martial arts scholar, but you actually jumped into the river to catch fish like a naughty boy. It's really a disgrace."

"Then do you want to eat it?"

"Of course, catching fish is not polite, eating fish is polite."

Immediately, Sima Yi sent the fish to the kitchen, and soon, he made several dishes with this fish.

A layer of bright red peppers was spread on the head of the fish, which looked very tempting.

There was also a fish soup, a pan-fried one, a sweet and sour one, and a fish slice.

"You city people are really particular, you can make so many things out of a fish."

Er Gouzi looked at the table of dishes and couldn't help but sigh.

Every time he cooked fish or pork, he didn't have so many tricks, he just cooked it directly, and didn't use any other seasonings except oil and salt.

He picked up a small piece of fish meat covered with red pepper and put it into his mouth. The moment he took a bite, he almost cried because of the spiciness.

He had never eaten pepper before, and didn't know it was so spicy.

Fortunately, he was a cultivator, so he couldn't cry no matter how spicy it was.

The fish meat was very tender and smooth. In addition to being spicy, it was salty, fresh, and fragrant. Many flavors blended together, which was actually very delicious and made people unable to stop.

"Do you drink?"

Sima Yi picked up a wine gourd from the table and prepared to pour wine for Er Gouzi.

"No, it's choking, spicy, and bitter. It's not good to drink. It's better to drink honey water."

Er Gouzi has never been interested in wine. He feels that he is asking for trouble.

The best thing in his mind is honey water.

"Okay."

Sima Yi didn't persuade him, and poured himself a glass of wine alone and took a sip.

"I have already found out about the barren mountain you asked me to find out for you last time."

"Whose?"

Er Gouzi was a little curious. Such a large piece of land cannot be occupied simply by having money.

"County Magistrate."

Sima Yi only said these three words, and Er Gouzi lost all hope.

The County Magistrate has money and power, and he has everything.

It seems that there is nothing in Er Gouzi's hands that can impress the County Magistrate.

Besides, he is just a martial arts scholar, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to meet with the County Magistrate to negotiate the price.

"Don't be discouraged, there is another news."

"What news?"

Sima Yi took another sip of wine and ate a piece of spicy fish head meat.

"You got the reward for providing zombie information last time, it's a pill."

"Really!"

Er Gouzi didn't expect that the government, which has always been unreliable, actually rewarded him with a pill.

"Don't be too happy too early, you probably won't get this pill."

Before Er Gouzi had time to be happy, Sima Yi said calmly again.

"Why?"

"Because the elixir was sent to the county government, it was lost by the concubine of the county magistrate."

"It's not that I won't give it to you. If the county government gives it to you, it will be given to you when it is found."
