"Don't be angry, it's just a joke."

Seeing the girl's bright eyes rising into a cloud of water mist, almost crying, Cao Fei hurriedly waved his hands, and said apologetically, there is no way, what he fears most is the girl crying.

"You lied to me...you pay me for the emerald jade carp!" The girl raised her hand to wipe her eyes, puffed her face, and stared at Cao Fei fiercely.

This young girl is really unsophisticated, she is completely like a child, who was about to cry when she was angry, but now she changed her appearance, and directly stretched out her hand and put it in front of Cao Fei.

After being scolded for no reason, Cao Fei spread his hands helplessly and said, "What the hell? What jade carp? Why should I pay you?"

"Why? You still ask why? Auntie, I have been lying in ambush here for more than half an hour. I finally waited until the jade carp ran to the shore to look for food. In the end, you ran to the shore and scared the jade carp away. The jade carp Being cautious by nature, I am afraid that I will never show up again today after being so frightened by you, my aunt's preparations for the past few days have been in vain, shouldn't you compensate me?"

The girl raised her forehead, and there was no doubt in her voice.

Cao Fei turned his head and glanced at Qingtan. He didn't know what the emerald carp the girl was talking about was?But it sounds like it should be a very rare fish.

If he had nothing to do, maybe he would still like to chat with the girl in front of him, but he entered the back mountain this time to practice hunting and killing wild animals, and he didn't have time to entangle with the other party, and from the girl's words and deeds, Can know that this should be an unruly young lady, so if you want to get rid of her, you must either compensate her for the jade carp, or help her catch the jade carp.

After thinking about this, Cao Fei pondered for a while, and said, "I will pay you? I can't afford it..."

"Can't afford it? That's very simple. You've been following my aunt since I saw the sky, helping my aunt with chores, and I'll let you be free after a month!" The girl said with a cunning twinkle in her eyes, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Cao Fei waved his hand, and continued: "Well, although I can't afford it, I can help you catch the emerald carp, right? Let's make it clear first. After helping you catch the Jade Carp, you must stop pestering me!"

"Haunting you? Who do you think you are!" the girl wrinkled her small nose and said with some disdain.

"That's good." Cao Fei nodded in relief.

Seeing that Cao Fei seemed to have a plan in mind, the girl couldn't help being curious: "Do you really have any way to catch the jade carp?"

"How did you catch the jade carp?" Cao Fei asked without answering.

"What can I do?" The girl was taken aback when she heard the words, with a hint of embarrassment on her face, she said coyly, "What else can I do? Isn't it just waiting on the shore to catch fish? Wait until the emerald jade carp come to the shore to look for food , I rushed up and grabbed it, what is there to ask?"

Hearing the girl's answer, Cao Fei was speechless for a while, waved his hands and said, "No wonder you couldn't catch it after a few days. How can you catch fish like this? Don't you know how to fish?"

"Nonsense, of course my aunt knows how to fish!" The girl puffed up her chest unconvinced, and said confidently: "Isn't fishing just to wrap a rope and throw it into the water? What's so difficult about it? It's useless at all. I couldn’t catch it for a long time.”

"Where's your hook? Where's your bait?" Cao Fei asked abruptly.

"Fishhook? Bait? What is that? I have seen people fishing before, just tie a rope to a bamboo and throw it into the water. Could it be that there is something tied to the rope?" The girl's eyes were full of doubts.

Cao Fei was completely speechless. If it wasn't for the girl's eloquence and quick thinking, he would really think that the girl's IQ has a problem. This character is no longer naive and can be described, it is just like a blank sheet of paper.

After being silent for a while, Cao Fei frowned and said, "Then do you know what jade carp like to eat?"

"It's not that simple? Jade carp's favorite food is the Jade petals on the bank of the clear pool. Otherwise, why is it called Jade carp?" The girl quickly replied.

"So that's how it is..." Cao Fei nodded.

Knowing what Jade Carp likes to eat, he stopped paying attention to the girl's curiosity, and quickly started to prepare. First, he cut a small piece of wood in the nearby dense forest, and then pulled out a two-foot-long slender stick from the hem of his clothes. Thread, this kind of thin thread is made of silk, very tough, enough to catch fish.

The fishing rod and fishing line are all ready, now only the float, hook and bait are left.

The first is the float. Cao Fei directly made a short section of water plant poles beside the clear pool to fill the number. The bait is the emerald petals from the girl's mouth. This kind of petals are everywhere beside the clear pool, so there is no need to worry about not enough.

The most difficult thing was the fishhook. He searched for a while, but he couldn't find anything to act as a fishhook. Finally, he looked at the girl's head, pointed to the hairpin on the girl's head, and said, "Take your Use your hairpin!"

"Why?"

The girl stood by and watched Cao Fei busy for a long time and made something like a fishing rod. She was puzzled at first, but after hearing his words, she asked reluctantly, clutching her hairpin.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Do you want the emerald jade carp?" Cao Fei didn't bother to explain, and put his hand in front of the other party, and said simply.

Although she didn't understand what Cao Fei wanted to do, after thinking about it for a while, the girl's desire for the emerald jade carp still prevailed. She hesitated and took off the hairpin from her head, and handed it to Cao Fei.

After receiving the hairpin, Cao Fei looked it over carefully, and found that the hairpin was very small, about the length of a finger, and very tough, making it very suitable for making fishhooks.

After the girl's curious eyes, he directly broke off the bead string behind the hairpin, bent the thin metal needle into the shape of a fishhook, then tied it on the fishing line, and then strung a few emerald petals.

After everything was ready, Cao Fei walked more than ten steps along the bank of Qingtan, found a relatively open place, and threw the fishhook out casually. The emerald petals were not heavy, but with the weight of the fishhook, they could barely Into the water.

Seeing the float slowly erected, the girl looked curious and asked softly, "Is this all right? Can you really catch the Jade Carp?"

"I don't know." Cao Fei said bluntly without turning his head.

"Cut!" The girl pursed her lips and stood by to watch Cao Fei go fishing.

Fishing requires a lot of patience. Sometimes it takes a long time to catch a fish. For Cao Fei, this is nothing, but for a young girl, it is a very difficult thing.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, she was already impatient. She grabbed her hair impatiently, walked around, and almost jumped up.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Cao Fei smiled and said, "Miss, can you not move around, the sound of your footsteps will scare the jade carp away!"

"I……"

The girl came back unwillingly, and slowly squatted beside Cao Fei, but she still couldn't stay idle. She looked back at Cao Fei, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said softly, "By the way, my name is Zhou Ziruo, I haven't asked you yet." What's your name?"

"Cao Fei."

"Cao Fei? Such a simple name, are you also a disciple of Tianliangmen?" Zhou Ziruo held back for a long time, and couldn't stop talking once he opened it.

"Well, I'm just a disciple of the handyman in the outer sect, and I can't compare to you." Cao Fei nodded slightly and replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Ziruo asked in confusion, "Why do you say that? Although you are a disciple of the outer sect and I am a disciple of the inner sect, we are all disciples of the Tianliang sect, aren't we all the same? What is comparable to what is not comparable?"

"Are you an inner sect disciple?" Cao Fei glanced at the other party in surprise, but he really didn't expect that this girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, very innocent and somewhat unsophisticated, turned out to be an inner sect disciple.

You know, if you want to become an inner disciple of Tianliangmen, you have to reach the concentration stage. Could it be that the girl named Zhou Ziruo in front of you has already reached the concentration stage, this talent is really excellent.

"Yes, although I..." Zhou Ziruo seemed to have remembered something and stopped in the middle of speaking, then changed the subject and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, why did you come to the back mountain?"

This kind of action that can change the topic, how could it be possible to deceive Cao Fei, but seeing that the other party was unwilling to speak, he was too lazy to continue asking. After all, everyone has their own secrets, so there is no need to delve into it.

Following the other party's words, Cao Fei smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I have recently broken through to the body training stage, and I want to go to the back mountain to hunt and kill wild beasts, get some beast blood to temper my body, I hope I can practice faster!"

"The blood of wild beasts? Does that thing work? You should use monsters during the body training stage?" Zhou Ziruo asked doubtfully.

"Of course I know that the body should be tempered with the blood of monster beasts during the body training period, but the question is where can I get the blood of monster beasts? There is no such thing in Houshan, so I can only use the blood of beasts instead. Although the effect is not good, But it can be compensated by quantity." Cao Fei shrugged his shoulders and replied.

Zhou Ziruo tilted his head and said, "You can go down the mountain... Oh, by the way, Tianliangmen doesn't allow disciples to go down the mountain at will, so... you can go buy it. Isn't there a special place for trading on the mountain? There should be Monster blood, right?"

Cao Fei shook his fishing rod and said with a smile: "Miss, do you think I'm you? The cheapest monster blood essence costs a few spirit stones. I'm a handyman disciple from the outer sect, how can I afford it?"

"Really? If you don't have one, I..."

"Hush..." Before Zhou Ziruo could finish speaking, Cao Fei suddenly raised his hand to stop her.

"what happened?"

"The Jade Carp has taken the bait."

Cao Fei smiled faintly, and his eyes were only on the simple fish float made of aquatic plant poles. At this time, the fish float was rising and falling rapidly. When the float completely sank to the bottom of the water, he threw out the fishing rod with both hands.

Whoa!
The water splashed violently, and a big emerald green fish with a length of two feet jumped out of the water following the fishing line.

Looking at the emerald green big fish, Cao Fei threw it to the shore with a flick of his hand.

"Wow... It's really a jade carp, and it's still so big!" Zhou Ziruo's eyes lit up, and he rushed back to the big tree that appeared just now, and pulled out a big wooden barrel from behind the big tree as if by magic, and followed closely. Then he ran to the place where the jade carp fell, put the jade carp into a wooden barrel filled with water, and finally closed the lid.
