Chapter 426

The fish schools at the bottom of the water fled, swimming in all directions.

Roundhead passed through the fish schools, identifying the number of snake paths one by one, filled with worry.

At least three or more, most likely four, snake demon water beasts of the same level as the Ink-Scaled Great Snake!

The fleeing fish schools converged again, but the porpoises began to become restless, swimming up and down, disrupting the neat formation.

They finally understood why the neighboring tribe had disappeared suddenly without saying hello.

The former leader swam forward, calling out repeatedly, all in panic, signaling the new leader to hurry and leave.

Roundhead flicked its fins, letting its subordinates calm down; it first led the team to find a hidden location, then contacted the Heavenly God to observe the follow-up.

Lotus leaves drifted and swayed.

Bottom of the pond.

Liang Qu, who was tempering his will and condensing true qi, opened his eyes, his brows tightly furrowed.

Roundhead is always smart, the intelligence of the water beast team, and the probability of misidentification is extremely small.

That is to say, four snake demons, several great spirit monsters...

Liang Qu sighed.

What should come will come.

Transforming into a white ape to kill one snake demon was not a big deal, but he had gained a little more favor value...

Four snake demons are simply not something he can handle alone.

One is manageable, two working together would inevitably be stretched thin, let alone four.

Unless the snake demons come to deliver themselves one by one, preferably with a six-day interval each, waiting for the "Divine Wood Recovery" to recover.

Too idealistic.

Don't dare to dream such dreams.

Fortunately, things haven't reached the point of no return; at least the Dragon didn't come, only choosing to send subordinates.

Besides, it's unrealistic to deliver them one by one; Liang Qu can choose to find opportunities to steal them one by one!

A tree dies if moved, a person lives if moved; at worst, temporarily change to another pond!

The Huai River won't work, there's the Yellow Shahe; the Yellow Shahe won't work, turn around and enter the sea!

Finalized the plan.

"Roundhead, if you can't find the wild tribe, forget it. The top priority is to go to the shallow water area to scout the situation in Xiangyi County, observe whether those big snakes have any actions, cause trouble...

In case you accidentally run into them, hurry up and show your identity, say you are a breeding porpoise of the River Patrol; the snake demons know the weight."

Liang Qu gave several orders in succession and even set up a life-saving method for Roundhead.

The River Patrol raising porpoises is famous all over the world.

Snake demons have intelligence and can speak human words, and their own breeding is difficult; they wouldn't not know the gold content of "breeding porpoises."

Xiangyi County.

Roundhead received the order and executed it loyally, taking its subordinates to continue to be active in the occupied area.

Unfortunately, the wild porpoises were not under control, becoming more and more panicked, the formation was chaotic, and the former leader was even more active, having a strong desire to lead the tribe to flee.

Roundhead couldn't soothe their emotions even by opening the group resonance.

Porpoises are not ungrateful wolves.

Loyal, tough, gregarious, smart, with many advantages, fighting to the last one is common, which is why the Great Shun valued them and chose them for cultivation.

But Roundhead used martial arts to subdue the porpoises, and in just one day, it hadn't consolidated their feelings well, sending them back to Pingyang, and they were gone.

"Eventful autumn."

Liang Qu, who learned of the Dragon's actions, had no heart for cultivation; he pushed aside the lotus stems and rose from the pond, the dragon spirit silk naturally shedding the moisture.

The old turtle stretched its neck: "Young man, what breathing method do you practice? You stayed underwater for two hours!"

Liang Qu bluffed: "Water Breathing Method."

"Water Breathing Method?"

Wu Cangshou was surprised; it had traveled north and south, heard of internal breathing methods, breath-holding techniques, turtle breathing techniques, toad guarding mysterious techniques... but had never heard of a water breathing technique.

It looked at the old giant clam: "What is the Water Breathing Method? Could it mean that a person has no gills but can also perform the act of breathing?"

The old giant clam sneered in its heart.

Ignorant foreign turtle, there's a lot you don't know. Have you ever seen a person turn into a monkey?

A monkey a zhang tall!

"Don't know."

The old turtle was greatly disappointed; living long, one always has hobbies, and studying various martial arts is one of its great interests in its turtle life.

The moonlight was like water, washing the floor tiles until they shone with white frost.

The two boys of the scarred family roared and flipped over the threshold, fighting from the veranda to the courtyard, rolling down the steps.

Kitchen door.

Two large buckets of processed crayfish were bright red, spitting out small bubbles, occasionally flicking their tails to splash water. Looking closely, every red shrimp's fine feet and the front half of the shrimp head were all cut off.

Under the steps, a girl was drawing well water to rinse them.

With a splash.

A large basin of water was poured in, rolling out dense foam.

Hearing footsteps approaching, the little girl looked up, stood up nervously, wiped her hands on her apron, and bowed: "Master!"

Liang Qu's teeth ached, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

"Master Liang, Master Jiu, Young Master are all fine, just don't call me Master, or you can call me Master like Mother Zhang!"

Mother Zhang heard the voice and poked her head out of the kitchen, hurriedly introducing her.

"Master! My girl, Chen Xiu! I thought I'd bring her to see you early, and if there's anything she doesn't do well in the future, feel free to teach her a lesson."

Liang Qu raised his eyebrows: "Surname Chen?"

"Yes, my man's surname is Chen, and he's a bit related to Brother Qingjiang next door to the Master, so he has to call him Uncle."

"Oh!"

Liang Qu understood; Mother Zhang is a native of Yixing Town, which he specifically requested when he went to the agency that year.

The Chen family is also a large branch in Yixing Town, and the hometown elder and clan leader Chen Zhaoan sits in the top chair of the village elders.

It's not strange for Mother Zhang to marry a man with the surname Chen, and it's normal for them to be of the same family as Chen Qingjiang.

People in a small village are mostly related by blood, and they might even share an ancestor during the sacrificial feast.

Liang Qu looked her over; she was about fifteen or sixteen, a typical rural person, doing rough work, with wheat-colored skin, a large braided pigtail, not particularly beautiful, just ordinary, with regular features.

"Fine, then the wages will be calculated from this month. Did you tell her what to do, Mother Zhang?"

"Told her, told her, Master, don't worry."

"Done!"

At this point, there was a fourth servant in the house.

"When will the midnight snack be ready?"

"Right away, all the ingredients are prepared, just waiting to go into the pot. It wasn't easy to buy crawdads at night, so it was delayed a bit."

Two quarters of an hour later.

The oil pan exploded with fragrance, adding a bit of heat to the quiet night.

Otter opened the wooden chair on its head and led the otter tribe to move a large square table into the courtyard.

Riding the cool night breeze.

Two large basins of crayfish were served on the table, steaming with heat. In addition, there were two small plates of smashed cucumber, fried peanuts, garlic roast eggplant, plus a plate of fried chicken legs and half a basin of milk drink.

Su Guishan took a deep breath of the aroma.

It's this taste.

That's right!

"Great-uncle, have a taste; I guarantee that even the best chef in your mansion hasn't made this kind of dish."

Su Guishan didn't stand on ceremony, rolled up his sleeves, and first tasted a sip of milk drink to moisten his throat, not expecting the taste to be quite smooth, and savored it several times.

"How did you make this milk drink? Black tea, milk?"

"Boiled black tea added to fresh milk, mixed with a little honey, iced. How does Great-uncle feel?"

"Not bad, quite fresh."

It seems Su Guishan's acceptance of milk tea is not too bad.

If it weren't for the fact that Liang Qu currently can't control water to inject carbon dioxide, otherwise he would have made a sparkling water for Su Guishan.

"Great-uncle, try the crawdads, the main event tonight."

"Good!"

Su Guishan rolled up his sleeves; the rich, pungent garlic aroma alone was enough to make one's index finger move.

Peeled a crayfish tail.

As soon as it entered his mouth, the salty garlic flavor burst out, and the very flavorful, springy crayfish meat mixed with the juice of the high soup...

Su Guishan's eyes lit up.

Fresh!

Fragrant!

A small crawdad, actually has such a delicious taste?

Seeing Su Guishan's hands not stopping, Liang Qu knew the matter of the water plant was settled.

To accompany Su Guishan, he also peeled a few.

Every braised shrimp was plump, the shrimp roe was bright and full, the shrimp meat was not loose or soft, and it had a natural sweet aftertaste; it was a first-class delicacy for a midnight snack.

Unfortunately, the matter of the Dragon made people feel heavy-hearted, and he really had no appetite.

However, seeing Su Guishan feasting in front of him, Liang Qu had a flash of inspiration.

"Great-uncle, can I ask you a few things?"

"Speak!"

"How does the imperial court view the Huai River Dragon? Why did the True Dragon disappear? What is the approximate strength of the Four Pillars of the Demon Court?"

"Good lad, you know how to ask!"
