On April 24, 4024 in the Demon Elimination Calendar, after a period of cultivation, Xu Changsheng was almost healed.

After having lunch at home, Xu Changsheng was ready to go out for a walk. After all, he had never been out much except delivering tofu.

Perhaps because they didn't see Xu Changsheng, Gu Lingqing and his gang couldn't trouble him.

Put your things away, lock the door, and leave.

As soon as he walked out of Weichen Alley, he was kicked by a foot before Xu Changsheng could say anything.

But the man hugged his feet and yelled: "Oh, my feet hurt so much. You stepped on them and broke them. I can't get up without a hundred and eighty taels today."

Xu Changsheng kicked him angrily and said, "If Taoist Master Tan wants to blackmail someone, he has to go to Fulu Street. How much money can he make lying here in Weichen Alley?"

Hearing Xu Changsheng's voice, the Taoist priest immediately stopped feeling pain in his legs and waist. He struggled to get up from the ground and patted the dust on his buttocks with his wide-sleeved robe.

He adjusted the Five Mountains crown on his head and tried to pretend to be an expert from outside the world. He cleared his throat, rolled up his sleeves and strolled in the alley, and said: "A poor man can understand the past and present, know the yin and yang, know the ancients, and understand

In the future, the Seven Sons Divine Calculator will be able to calculate all the major events in the world. I wonder, Xu Changsheng, what do you want to test?"

Xu Changsheng waited patiently for him to finish reading, then pointed to the ground, "Taoist Master Tan, your thumb is exposed."

Tanxiao suddenly felt a little coldness in the big toe of his right foot, and he quickly shrank it, leaving a hole.

Feeling a little embarrassed again, he quickly pushed Xu Changsheng and told him to leave.

"You little brat, just go and have fun when you're not doing business. Don't stop me from making a lot of money."

After Xu Changsheng left, Tanxiao looked down at the hole and closed it with a thought.

Then he looked at Xu Changsheng's retreating back and smiled.

…

After going to the tofu shop, Li Ruan went to the street, leaving only Li Tui, the drunkard, picking his feet.

He told Xu Changsheng that tomorrow would be the same as usual, but the Sun Mansion had increased the order so that he could ask Shang Liang Mi to come with him tomorrow. Otherwise, there would not be enough time, and Li Ruan went to the streets to look for soybeans because of this.

Liang Mi and Tang and Song have always lived in the City God's Temple, and they are probably still there now. Although the town is located in a remote place, the incense in the City God's Temple has not been cut off. During festivals, residents will go to the City God's Temple to offer incense.

As soon as Xu Changsheng stepped into the City God's Temple, he heard an ear-splitting snoring sound. He saw a shabby man lying on a haystack beside him, his hair unkempt.

There was a little slug lying next to him, staring at the beam above, his little eyes rolling.

Seeing Xu Changsheng, Liang Mi sniffed hard and jumped up from the haystack. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Xu Changsheng, why are you here?"

But it seemed that the sound was too loud and woke up Tang Song next to him. He closed his eyes and shouted, "I've made you so noisy, watch the sword." After saying that, he turned over and continued to snore.

Liang Mi rolled his eyes, "Don't pay attention to him, he is so virtuous. Every time he is drunk and talking in his sleep, he is always looking at the sword. The sword comes and whatnot, and he can't even afford to eat, and he still shouts

I need to practice sword practice."

Xu Changsheng also knew that after all, he and Tang and Song were old acquaintances, but whenever Liang Mi encountered something new, he would basically explain it to Xu Changsheng. Maybe this was what he thought was a good way to treat Xu Changsheng.

After saying that, he pulled Xu Changsheng and walked out the door.

The two sat down on the steps of the eaves.

Xu Changsheng asked: "I have a lot of tofu to deliver tomorrow morning. How about delivering some together, little slug?"

Liang Mi's eyes were shining, "Are you rich?"

Xu Changsheng smiled and said: "When did I lose more than your money?"

Liang Mi scratched her head in embarrassment, "That's right, you won't lie to me. That bastard in Tang and Song Dynasty also often lied to me. The money he gave me was only enough for drinks, making me run errands in vain. Talking is like farting, no wonder I can't practice well.

I can’t even afford the sword or the food.”

"Little slug, what are you talking about? Louder, I can't hear you clearly." A drunken voice came from behind.

Liang Mi tensed up, turned her head stiffly, and said with a forced smile: "Uncle Tang, I'm telling Xu Changsheng that your sword power is divine and you can kill countless demons."

Tang Song stopped paying attention to him and leaned against the door frame, squinting his eyes slightly and staring at Xu Changsheng.

"

Mr. Xu, please learn swordsmanship from me, I guarantee that you will have a great future."

Liang Mi shrugged: "Learn from you, learn the art of swordless? Learn how to afford food? "

As soon as Tang Song glared, Liang Mi immediately withered.

Xu Changsheng was also a little helpless. Every time Tang and Song saw him, they would tell him to learn swordsmanship, learn swordsmanship, learn swordsmanship.

Xu Changsheng also wants to learn. But now he wants to lie down and reduce his consumption. How can he still have so much energy to learn the sword?

Xu Changsheng had no choice but to ask: "Do you care about the food?"

Tang Song quickly covered his mouth and coughed, "Xiao Xu, you can learn this sword later, but you must cultivate wine from an early age. There is no swordsman who doesn't drink. Anyone who doesn't drink is not a swordsman."

Xu Changsheng asked again: "Do you want to drink your wine?"

Tang Song glared at him, "You kid, you're so boring. If you don't learn, I won't teach you. When others kneel down and beg me, I don't want to teach you!"

After saying that, he picked up the broken wine gourd on his waist and took a big sip, then turned back to the City God's Temple.

Xu Changsheng also chatted casually with Liang Mi for a while, and then went back. A man from Tang and Song Dynasty was lying on a haystack with his legs crossed. He was holding the fruits on the tribute table and biting them one by one, talking to himself.

He said: "This sword is getting more and more difficult to practice."

…

When passing by the center of the town, Xu Changsheng looked at the sundial. It would take about two hours to get dark. Xu Changsheng was going to go to the Nanfeng River to catch some fish and come back. The big ones could be made into dried fish, and the smaller ones could be cooked with a little oil.

Once fried, it will be very fragrant and fragrant. You can eat several bowls of rice at once, but there is too little oil, so you rarely have such an opportunity.

In the past, when my parents were still alive, I could often eat it.

I'll give some to Aunt He when I get back from fishing. She also likes to eat it.

Returning to the alley, Tan Dao Tu also closed down his stall, and probably went to Fulu Street.

Xu Changsheng went home and took a fish basket and a bamboo harpoon. Liang Mi said that the fish in Zhenwei had been touched by Gu Lingqing and several people a few days ago. This time Xu Changsheng planned to go to Zhentou.

have a look.

Nanfeng River originates from Nanfeng Mountain at the end of the town and is formed by the convergence of several small streams. The river is not big, and its widest point is only ten feet wide.

Xu Changsheng arrived at the small pool at the bottom of the bridge, put the fish basket on the shore, rolled up his trouser legs, picked up the harpoon, and looked quietly at the water. Several grass carps were gnawing at the roots of the water plants in the shade under the bridge, and there were

Several schools of fish were scurrying around.

According to the fishing skills Xiong Youfu passed on to him, he was sure to catch all the fish in one pot, but now that it was spring, the amount of water was gradually increasing, which made it difficult to operate.

After thinking about it, Xu Changsheng took off his linen shirt, tied up his sleeves and trousers, and then tied them with a straw rope to use as a simple fishing net.

After it was made, Xu Changsheng gently approached the small pool, found a suitable place and slowly put down his coat. After sinking to the bottom of the water, Xu Changsheng squatted on a stone in the river and waited for a long time.

The afternoon sun was still scorching, and Xu Changsheng's little face turned red. Sweat slowly seeped down into his eyes. Fortunately, what he lacked most was patience. In this regard, even Xiong Youfu felt inferior to him. You must know that Xiong Youfu

When he went hunting with his father, he was stung three times by wasps while lying in a haystack, but he didn't make a sound.

Finally, a group of small fish swam over, and they swam straight over, and one fish stopped on top of Xu Changsheng's coat without falling.

This is a bit helpless. The guy from Le'an is helping on time, but he can't live up to Le'an's good intentions.

So Xu Changsheng stared at the school of fish, and gradually exerted strength with his right hand holding the gown. He lifted the gown violently, and the gown came out of the water. Except for a few small fish on the periphery, which swam away in panic, the others were all struggling in the pockets.

Xu Changsheng jumped back to the shore with a smile, put the small fish in his pocket into the fish basket, and hung his gown to dry on the big stone plate. The method of catching fish can only be used once. After one time, the fish were startled and they all ran away.

.

Fortunately, the grass carp were not afraid of the slight wind and rain. They were still under the water plants. Xu Changsheng picked up the bamboo harpoon and slowly approached the water plants. It landed very lightly and made no sound. This was also the reason why Xu Changsheng took off his straw sandals early.

When he reached the rocks next to the water plants, Xu Changsheng tightened his harpoon, aimed it accurately, and stabbed hard, like a cheetah hunting a sheep or an eagle catching a field mouse. At this moment, Xu Changsheng was an experienced hunter.

One grass carp was struggling at the bottom of the water, while the others had already swam under the rocks. Xu Changsheng lifted the harpoon and looked at the still struggling grass carp and laughed.

"Chi" on the top of the head

A sneer came from the stone bridge.

Xu Changsheng looked up.

He has never seen such a beautiful woman.

Her eyes are like water, but with a touch of coldness, and she seems to be able to see through everything. Her fingers are slender, her skin is as white as the ice and snow that has not yet melted in early spring, her hair is misty and cloudy, and she is wearing a white skirt that spreads on the floor. Her face is exquisite, as if made by nature, as cold as frost.

His temperament made Xu Changsheng feel a little uncomfortable at the bottom of the bridge.

Behind the woman stood a beautiful woman in palace attire. Her appearance was also very good, but standing behind the woman in white, she looked much bleaker.

She was the one who laughed.

Seeing Xu Changsheng raise his head, the beautiful woman in palace clothes said something. She had an accent that she had never heard before, and she didn't know what she said.

The woman in white still had an indifferent look on her face. She seemed to say a faint "hmm", and the two of them turned around and walked towards the town.

Xu Changsheng was too lazy to care, put the fish into the fish basket, and continued to wait by the river for the grass carp to come out.

Suddenly he saw Le An appearing on the rock where Xu Changsheng was drying his clothes. He made a face at Xu Changsheng and smiled. Then he lay on Xu Changsheng's clothes and basked in the sun with his legs crossed. Xu Changsheng

He also smiled, but didn't talk to him. What he needed at this time was silence.

Until evening, only one more fish was caught.
