Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 603: Advance, attack, retreat or defend
Bang!
The wooden box fell down, causing the square table to creak and shake.

"Shopkeeper, give me two bowls of meat sauce noodles, add twelve copper coins of meat and five copper coins of noodles."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper under the awning stood up quickly, threw on his towel, and glanced up, "Hey, the master is back from boating on the lake?"

Liang Qu raised his eyebrows: "Do you still remember me?"

"How could I forget?" the shopkeeper skillfully prepared the sauce. "A tall and majestic person like you, even if I haven't seen you for four or five years, I can remember you at a glance. Even if I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I can still tell my grandson, 'I heard you say a few days ago that you came to Pengze to cruise the lake. How are you feeling after a few days here?'"

"Not bad, the land is rich in natural resources and has many talented people." Liang Qu took out a small ingot from his pocket, kneaded it with his knuckles, and shaped it like plasticine. "After a few days, I found the mermaid and met General Yuan. The mermaid is quite shy, and General Yuan has a bad temper. He is a pervert and likes beautiful women."

Wow.

Use chopsticks to scoop out the noodles and tap the strainer against the pot to drain the water.

The shopkeeper's movements were very smooth and he thought Liang Qu was joking when he heard his words, so he asked with a smile.

"Since you have met General Yuan, is it true that there is a ten-mile-long island as rumored?"

"It's a rumor. It's not that big, but it's not small either."

“Is there an immortal on the mountain?”

"No, a group of golden monkeys."

"That must be a group of monkeys. Sir, come over."

The steaming hot noodles with meat sauce were served, and Liang Qu took out his chopsticks and started eating.

People are in good spirits when happy things happen.

No matter how filling you are with apples or pears, they are not as satisfying as a bowl of hot noodles with meat sauce.

After having a bowl to fill your stomach and refresh yourself, you can have a second bowl, then find some time to chat with the store owner and listen to all sorts of stories from all over the world.

From the gang fight at the dock three years ago, to the story of a beautiful girl causing men to fight and break their legs, it was like a storyteller, laughing non-stop.

I’m not going to say how good the noodles taste, but just the liveliness of it is something that makes people love it.

In the end.

"Shopkeeper, I'm happy today. I'm giving your grandson a little toy to wear."

Liang Qu turned his palm over and gently pressed down a hard object.

The shopkeeper took a closer look.

It turned out to be a silver little turtle!
……

"Brother Binglin, you can't do that! This is the third time you've given me a gift today. I feel guilty for spending so much money on it. Take it back now!"

"Brother Ling Han, please don't be polite. We will live together in Jianghuai from now on. We have a long way to go. Our two tribes are neighbors. We will see each other every day. How can a small gift be worth the friendship between us?"

Mermaid tribe.

Quan Linghan had a bitter look on his face as he watched Long Binglin dispatch the finless porpoises to distribute books and other magical items to the tribesmen one by one.

Until the night before yesterday, after Long Binglin gave a gift, the young mermaid's resistance became uncontrollable.

Can't collect.

It's impossible to collect it.

Not to mention those who hide and refuse to pay.

Some books appeared to be submitted in perfect condition, without even a crease.

When you actually open them, you will find that some pages are missing, and the books have been disassembled and reassembled.

Comparing the two, the missing parts are pieced together to get another book, which is so powerful that it is impossible to guard against.

Quan Linghan had no idea that the young people in the tribe were so capable and when they taught themselves how to bind books.

I heard from the patrolling mermaids that in the past three nights, there were always jellyfish lights on in the mermaids' houses.

It goes out when you pass by and lights up again when you leave.

I woke up early in the morning feeling tired and sleepy.

He doesn't have any youthful spirit at all.

The most important thing is that the voices of dissatisfaction within the ethnic group are growing louder, and even rhymes about going to Jianghuai to try one's luck have been compiled.

In distress.

A young mermaid suddenly jumped out from the group that was collecting items.

"Master Long, all the books you sent two days ago were taken away by the clan leader!"

The crowd roared slightly.

Quan Linghan cursed in his heart.

Which little bastard is this!
Seeing Long Binglin looking at him, he hurried to make amends.

"Actually, actually..."

"Hey, no need to say more." Long Binglin patted his shoulder, "Brother Linghan, if you really like it, just call me. Why bother to snatch it from the younger generation?"

"Master Long is talking about..."

Long Binglin reached into the box, picked and chose, pulled out two hardcover picture books, and stuffed them into the other person's arms.

"I'll give this complete set of 'Silver Bottle Osmanthus' hardcover edition with illustrations by Master Lu to Brother Ling Han! You'll always find it interesting when you read it." "..."

After chatting with Quan Linghan for most of an hour and making sure that the young mermaid had time to look through the book and tamper with it, Long Binglin led the porpoises away.

Watch the figure disappear.

Quan Linghan's face looked grim. He gave an order and the patrolling mermaids came out to collect the books and picture albums again.

Half an hour later.

The books were returned to the wooden box, and compared with when they came in, they were visibly shorter.

"Eh……"

A long sigh.

Quan Linghan returned to his tent dejectedly.

moment.

Quan Guangqin and Quan Yuxuan asked to see him in front of the tent.

"Come in."

The two of them drew aside the curtain.

Quan Linghan stood in the middle, polishing his weapon, the steel fork gleaming coldly.

"What do you want from me?"

The two looked at each other.

Quan Guangqin said: "Patriarch, today's matter...it is better to ease the situation than to block it."

Quan Linghan stopped and looked at me with a puzzled look.

"Guangqin, Yuxuan, I thought you wouldn't mess around with other people, how come you even..."

Quan Guangqin and Quan Yuxuan.

The most outstanding son of the clan.

Hardworking, diligent and intelligent.

Especially Quan Guangqin, who was almost regarded by him as his successor.

"Patriarch, don't worry..."

The two men immediately narrated how they had "secretly sought refuge" and went ashore in the Jianghuai Lake.

"Going to Jianghuai?"

"That's right. The Dragon People have magical powers over water, spanning east and west. Yuxuan and I went ashore to take a look and found that the local accent was completely different."

Quan Yuxuan added: "After landing, the two of us have made many observations. Lord Liang has a good reputation and is highly respected by the people..."

"He has a good reputation, what does it have to do with me, a mermaid?" Quan Linghan's fins trembled, and he pointed outside the tent, "Huayan County Patrol Inspector Qiu was lonely and poor when he was young. Even the money for him to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination was scraped together by his fellow villagers.

He never forgot his hometown after he became rich. He repaired bridges and roads, respected the elderly and pitied the poor. He was a well-known good official. But because his wife liked mermaid tears and heard that mermaid tears were the most dazzling and beautiful when they fell, she captured mermaids, plucked out their tail scales and tortured them alive, leaving them bloody and covered with wounds!

When my uncle rushed into the basement of the house and killed his wife and children in revenge, this good inspector cried and said that everyone should take the responsibility for their own actions and he was willing to die in his place. I saw this with my own eyes!"

Quan Guangqin was shocked.

He stopped Quan Yuxuan, sorted out his thoughts, and explained.

"The clan leader has misunderstood. We two definitely do not mean that Elder Liang is trustworthy just because he has a good reputation."

Quan Linghan realized that he was very emotional and put down his fork.

"what for?"

"No matter whether Lord Liang's reputation is justified or not, as long as it is there, our tribe can not only go, but also go with great fanfare."

Quan Linghan didn't understand.

Quan Guangqin continued.

“At that time, we only need to publicize to the people of Yixing and even Pingyang Prefecture that it was Lord Liang who personally invited us and promised to protect the merman tribe. The tribesmen were grateful for his kindness and therefore came to join him.

If everyone knows about it beforehand and it becomes a hot topic, it will become a consensus agreement. In the future, if there is an accident in the clan, they can attack or defend.

Because no matter what the reason, it was Lord Liang who broke his promise first.

This is what Lord Liang did. He could expose his hypocrisy, put him in an unjust situation, and use his reputation to become a shield for our clan.

Even if there are other reasons, it can prove that Lord Liang has no ability to protect us, so that our people can come and go freely without the dragon people being able to stop us."

Quan Yuxuan responded, "Clan leader, even if we take a step back, if Lord Liang really has no ill intentions and has the power to protect us, why not move the whole clan and share what we have?

The situation is stronger than people, there is no escape, no evasion, the tribesmen are wavering, make a decision early!"

Quan Linghan was stunned.

a long time.

"Let me think, let me think..."

Quan Guangqin and Quan Yuxuan did not disturb them and quietly retreated outside the tent.
