It was getting dark. Wang Li carried Zhu Lou on his back along the winding path overgrown with weeds, bypassing several fields full of vegetables. He walked to a stream about half a meter wide and covered with water plants and squatted down.

, his hands reached into the grass, and a black mesh bag was lifted up by him.

Hua Hua Hua~

The net bag shook violently, and water kept dripping.

Wang Li took a closer look and saw several fish jumping happily in the net bag. Two of them were close to the size of an adult's palm. In addition, there were many small blue-gray crabs waving them vigorously.

of pliers.

“The harvest turned out to be surprisingly good.”

........

At the foot of a remote hill, there were a few houses covered with straw, and white smoke was already coming out of one of the houses.

Wang Li spotted two of the houses that were almost parallel to each other and was about to take a step. However, he immediately heard unpleasant yelling coming from down the hill.

"Wang Yanjun! You took what I had! You used what I had, and then you even deceived me of my coffin book!"

"If your little bitch comes back, I will definitely break your legs!"

"You bitch, come out!"

"I have been saving for ten years!"

"...."

At this time, a gray-haired old man was standing in front of a house, cursing and full of obscenities.

Bang bang bang!

The old man scolded and slammed the door hard with his hand.

There was a woman standing not far away. This woman had thin cheeks and a pretty face. She was wearing a light gray coarse cloth skirt with patches all over it. She was holding a bamboo basket in her hand and a pair of coarse black cloth shoes on her feet.

It has been washed and turned white.

This was her home, but looking at the old man banging on the door, she just lowered her head and said nothing.

After a while, Wang Li walked out from behind the house and glanced at the old man who was banging on the door of his house. He silently walked to the woman's side without making a sound under his feet.

She is Wang Li's mother.

Half an hour later, the old man seemed tired of scolding and staggered towards the house next to his house. After others entered the house, Wang Li softly called out: "Mom, I'm back."

The woman paused, rolled up her sleeves and wiped her face. She tilted her head to avoid Wang Li's sight and looked at Zhu Lou behind him. She smiled and said, "It seems that our brother Li has made a lot of money today."

ah!"

After finishing speaking, she took the net bag from Wang Li's hand, opened it, and said in surprise: "Huh? Brother Li also caught a fish today. I'll take one to Grandpa later."

Wang Li's grandfather was the old man who knocked on the door just now. He looked at his mother's red eyes and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Seven years ago, Wang Li's father defrauded his grandfather's savings and disappeared without a trace. His grandmother became ill due to self-blame and worry about his father's safety, and soon passed away one evening. Since then, his grandfather would choose this time to drink alcohol every day.

He would come over and bang on the door and yell at me, and he would curse for half an hour every time.

This is a well-known fact in Wuyuan Village. At first, the villagers regarded it as a joke, but later they lost interest because it has become a routine.

........

night.

After Wang Li completed the homework reference for the Qin Hong brothers, his mother, Wang, immediately brought the dishes to the table, a bowl of fish soup, a bowl of rice, a bran-coated steamed bun, and two poached eggs.

Before the meal started, Mrs. Wang had already passed another bowl of fish soup to her grandfather.

His mother, Mrs. Wang, happily pushed the rice and eggs in front of Wang Li, then made herself a bowl of soup, broke off the bran-coated steamed buns and soaked them in the soup bowl, then picked up the chopsticks and scooped out the largest fish in the soup in a few strokes.

The fish's head and body were separated. She picked up the fish head and said, "Brother Li, my mother likes to eat the most..."

Before she finished speaking, an empty plate suddenly appeared in front of Wang's eyes. A pair of chopsticks tapped her chopsticks gently. The fish head immediately fell into the plate, and then the plate was pulled away.

Ms. Wang couldn't help but be startled. She found that her son had stood up at some point.

"I know my mother loves to eat fish heads."

Wang Li smiled and picked up his chopsticks and put a poached egg into his mother's soup bowl. After sitting down, he blew on the fish head and continued, "But my mother doesn't know, but I actually like to eat fish heads too."

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and looked at Wang Li munching on the fish head. Her eye circles immediately turned red, and she slowly ate the eggs in small bites.

After dinner, with the silver moon in the sky, and while his mother was cleaning up the kitchen, Wang Li came outside the house carrying a sack.

After taking a look around, Wang Li took off his jacket and trousers and hung them on a tree branch. Then he placed two broken bowls in front of the door where the moonlight was most conspicuous.

After doing this, he took out a few long strips as thick as his fingers from the robe and tied them to his legs and wrists.

After making sure that all the long strips were tied, Wang Li's eyes narrowed, and a burst of evil energy suddenly burst out from his body. He stretched out his claws with both hands and thrust forward. At the same time, he stamped his feet. He immediately jumped out and turned over immediately after landing.

Jump up, lift up your right leg and move forward again.

After that, he repeated this set of actions back and forth in front of the house several times. After a while, he stopped, closed his eyes and meditated for a few breaths. Then he clenched his fist and started swinging it, creating a set of punches. At the back, he sat cross-legged again.

On the ground, start doing yoga...

After a cup of tea, Wang Li stopped again, but instead of going back to the house, he picked up the bag and grabbed two small black sticks from it.

The sticks don't look alike, because the two sticks are only as long as a little finger and about as thin as a chopstick.

Wang Li took one in each hand, turned his palms, and two small sticks instantly appeared on his wrists, tightly adhering to the long slits that were tied to his wrists before.

"I don't know if I can buy useful poison when I go to the town market tomorrow. If there is no poison, I have to go into the mountains to find it by myself. If I can't find it in the mountains, I will have to focus on my eyes in the future...

.”

Wang Li murmured softly as he walked forward. After taking ten steps, he stopped. The next moment, he suddenly turned around, bowed down, and aimed his hands at the location where the broken bowl had been placed.

Ding! Ding!

Bang! Bang! The two broken bowls were completely shattered.

"What's wrong?"

Mrs. Wang heard the commotion and opened the door and came out. When she saw her son wearing a short hexagram, he couldn't help but frown, "Brother Li, are you practicing the fake moves that Butcher Zhang taught you again?"

"No, I'm just too full to go out and do some exercise."

Wang Li didn't lie. He was practicing the fighting skills he had mastered when he was a bounty hunter in his previous life.

The moment his mother opened the door, he restrained himself, stretched his waist, and continued: "It's already very late. Mother, please go to bed early. Tomorrow I will go to the small town market with the people in the village. Uncle Zhang promised to give me

The money should have been remitted as well.”

Mrs. Wang nodded slightly, walked out of the house, took off Wang Li's hanging trousers hanging on a tree branch, and said, "No, mother must go with you tomorrow."

"That's fine."

Wang Li took the clothes from his mother's hand and said, "With today's sixteen copper coins, we already have a lot of money. What do you want to buy tomorrow?"

"Shh~ I don't dare to say anything about purchasing, I just want to buy some needlework."

Mrs. Wang squeezed her hand, glanced at her grandfather's house next to her, and whispered: "Don't forget, we have to return grandpa's money to him with interest. We can't spend the money indiscriminately!"

Wang Li smiled and said, "Okay."

The two of them entered the house one after another. Wang closed the door and was about to go back to her bedroom when she suddenly asked as if she remembered something: "By the way, did you play with my needles? I haven't had any needles recently."

It’s time to mend clothes”

"Yes mother."

Wang Li admitted directly and yawned, "I want to try if I can make a fishhook for fishing. The fish hooks in the town are a bit expensive and not cost-effective, but my craftsmanship is so bad that I broke all the needles."

.”

"Is that so?"

Mrs. Wang thought about it and said, "Then let's buy a few more needles tomorrow."

~~~~~~~~

After a night.

"Eight Immortals Fruit~Eight Immortals Fruit~"

“Roasted sweet potatoes, freshly baked sweet potatoes~”

"Sugar paintings! Come and buy beautiful and delicious sugar paintings~"

"...."

Wang Li was amused. His mother changed into a long gray dress without patches early in the morning. She had only been willing to wear this dress during the Chinese New Year. She took him and the villagers on an ox cart and set off in the town at noon.

, as a result, when he got off the bus, he was taken to the snack stalls here.

Now these stalls are crowded with children and parents, and the vendors and vendors are still shouting hard.

The town is called Qianfu Town, and if you look at the snack business alone, it is very popular.

"Brother Li, what do you want to eat?"

Mrs. Wang touched the money bag in her arms and asked.
