Chapter 12

The skin became delicate, and the body became stronger.

After more than an hour, the warmth in his stomach dissipated. Liang Qu carefully compared himself with the water surface and found that he had become more handsome.

He was still a bit dark, but his originally rough skin became much more delicate, looking very heroic. He clenched his fists and could clearly feel that he had more strength, and when he waved, he was full of wind.

If Liang Qu was raised on coarse grains and vegetables before, after eating the treasure fish, he became raised on meat, eggs, and milk. It was the same healthy development, but the gold content was completely different, and his mental outlook was completely different.

It's so comfortable. The feeling of being full of strength is great.

Jumping higher, running faster, breathing slower, as if the whole body became relaxed.

"No wonder a treasure fish can be favored by martial artists. It is simply a divine object for solidifying the foundation and cultivating the body. If I had a hundred of them, I'm afraid I wouldn't need to enter any martial arts school, and I would enter the so-called skin, flesh, bone, blood, four barriers by myself."

Liang Qu stood up, put on his clothes, confirmed that the ruddy color of excessive nourishment on his face had dissipated, and rowed the oar back to the port without much effort. He couldn't wait to sell the treasure fish in his hand and exchange it for the qualification to enter the body.

As a result, before he went ashore to pay the docking fee, he saw a large group of people gathered on the shore from afar, which was very lively.

What day is it?

Wasn't the moon festival over last month? Is there any festival I don't know about?

Liang Qu put down the oar, picked up the pole, and approached the port. Someone came to collect the fee.

Taking out two wen from his pocket and handing them over, he held the fish basket and looked around in the crowd, finding Li Libo, who was quite tall, at a glance.

Sure enough, where there is excitement, there is him. He belongs to the early fun-seeker.

Pulling him out, Liang Qu asked: "What happened?"

"Eh... who is it." Being pulled out of the crowd, Li Libo, who was watching the fun, looked dissatisfied, but the huge force on his wrist made him unable to resist. He bared his teeth and broke away from the crowd. Turning his head, it was Liang Qu, "Why is it you kid? What medicine did you eat? Your hand strength is so great?"

Liang Qu remained unmoved: "You haven't told me yet, what's the situation with so many people?"

"Hey, you came at the right time. Someone on our port also caught a treasure fish! Shaped like a black fish but red all over, weighing two jin, three liang, and six qian. Someone caught one before, called what? Red perch? One jin is one tael of silver!"

Li Libo was smug, as if the treasure fish was caught by him, without noticing the change in Liang Qu's face.

Treasure fish are not many, not few. A lucky person appears on a port every month, but Liang Qu didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that he would run into one just as he was about to sell the treasure fish.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter. Treasure fish are in short supply. Running into one doesn't affect it. Maybe the martial artist will buy two fish at once and give more silver if he is happy.

Seeing that there were many people, Liang Qu cleared his throat and shouted: "Our Shangrao port is really favored by the River God, catching two treasure fish in one day!"

Li Libo, who was closest, had his ears hurt by the shouting: "What are you talking about? Chen Jiechang only caught one treasure fish!?"

It happened that everyone's eyes moved over. Liang Qu lifted the fish basket, hooked the fish gills, and lifted the horn-pomfret up high.

"The second one I said is not his, it's this one!"

Wow!

The crowd was in an uproar. The original concentric circle big surrounding circle turned into a double cylinder in an instant.

"Isn't this just a pomfret?"

"Not a pomfret, look carefully, the fish has horns on its head!"

"Really, there are horns on the head, it's a treasure fish, it's a treasure fish!"

After confirmation by the people around, the already lively port was even more clamorous. More and more people gathered, wanting to see the treasure fish.

In the past, the treasure fish I heard about had unusual body colors and patterns. Today, there is actually one with strange shapes, with horns on its head!

"Who caught it?"

"It's A-Shui, old Liang's son! He's very good at fishing, catching more than thirty fish every day."

"Old Liang? The one who passed away last month? The luck is too good."

"Old Liang's family is not destined to die!"

"Awesome, a treasure fish, enough for my rice for several months! If I could catch one, I would die without regrets."

"If you caught it, the one who makes money is the madam in the dark alley, hahahaha!"

The crowd was lively. After all, it is very rare for two treasure fish to be caught on the same port on the same day. Everyone tried to get some luck.

Liang Qu looked around and found the envy and naked desire in everyone's eyes. He never thought that the descriptions in the novels were true, and he could really see them.

"A-Shui, I have a daughter who hasn't left the boudoir, how about I marry her to you?"

"Uncle Chen Yi, your daughter is only nine years old, right?" Seeing that the person speaking was Chen Yi, whom he had met once before, Liang Qu was numb.

"His family won't work, they can't match you, a handsome guy. Come to my family and let you see my daughter."

"Forget it, Shi Lao-er, yours is already eighteen."

"Don't you understand that a woman three years older holds a gold brick?"

Chen Qingjiang alone can support a big family. An orphan like Liang Qu who is handsome and has strong fishing ability is the hot commodity among hot commodities. But anyone with a daughter in the family wants to take a bite.

Thinking of the carriage that avoided him when he first arrived, it hasn't been a month yet, and Liang Qu realized what it meant by "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

But Liang Qu didn't hate it. When poor, one should improve oneself. The helplessness of bottom-level people is like this.

Surrounded by the crowd, the two cylinders squeezed back into one.

Liang Qu saw Chen Jiechang, who also caught the treasure fish. He was about twenty years old, tall, and his skin was also very dark. There was no white fisherman. This person was also a well-known good fisherman on Shangrao Port, stronger than Uncle Chen, with a daily income of over one hundred copper coins.

Chen Jiechang saw Liang Qu. One person's limelight was divided by two, so he was naturally unhappy, but not much, and he still kept a smile on his face.

This is the fun of villagers. I live better than you, so I feel comfortable. Otherwise, I feel uncomfortable.

Liang Qu's second uncle in his previous life, after he was admitted to a prestigious university after graduating from high school, had a stinky face all day long, just because he did better than his grandson. When they met, it was that major is more important than university. As a result, after graduation, it was the excuse that society depends on connections.

The two looked at each other's treasure fish.

Chen Jiechang's fish was similar to a black fish, but the color was completely different, bright red all over, as if cast by fresh blood, which was a good color.

"The martial artist is here, the martial artist is here!"

"Hurry up and get out of the way, hurry up and get out of the way!"

"The martial artist is here to see the treasure fish!"

The crowd dispersed. Liang Qu and Chen Jiechang looked up and found that there were three people in total, all male, significantly taller than the surrounding commoners, with their waists straight.

Is this a martial artist? Should it just be a martial practitioner?

Only those who break through the four barriers can be called martial artists. Those who haven't broken through are just martial practitioners. There are not many martial artists in the whole Pingyang Town. Ordinary people have little knowledge, so they confuse the two, or maybe they know, but they still call them that.

Among the three, the leader introduced himself, surnamed Hu. He happened to be handling affairs from Pingyang Town to Yixing City. Hearing that there was a treasure fish on the port, he came to see it. If it was really so, he would pay to buy it.

Chen Jiechang hurriedly greeted: "Martial artist, look at mine."

Hu the martial artist came to Chen Jiechang and took a look: "Red blood perch, how much does it weigh."

Chen Jiechang said nervously: "Two jin, seven liang, six qian!"

"Three taels of silver, sell or not?"

"Sell, sell, sell!"

Chen Jiechang was overjoyed. Three taels of silver, enough for more than a year of rice. Last month, the three-jin six-liang tiger-head spot at the neighboring port was only three taels and five qian. Calculated, his red blood perch is more valuable!

Hu the martial artist took the fish and paid the money, not weighing it at all, obviously feeling that the other party didn't dare to deceive him.

He came to Liang Qu again and was surprised to find that the pomfret had horns on its head: "Horn-pomfret? It's rare. How much does it weigh?"

Liang Qu observed Hu the martial artist's expression, lowered his head slightly and replied: "Three jin, two liang, one qian."

When everyone was watching the fun just now, he had already asked someone to help weigh it, so there would be no mistake.

"Six taels and five qian, sell or not?"

"Six taels?"

Chen Jiechang, who was on the side, stopped his steps, and the fishermen on the side were silent.
