Divine Light Warrior

Chapter 743 Dried Fish

This big monkey actually wanted to challenge this mink. Although this mink looked silly, the strength of the eagle should not be underestimated. He attacked the eagle and couldn't bear it anymore. He flew up and grabbed his feet with his claws. This time he grabbed the monkey's eyes accurately, blinding his eyes at that time. The monkey couldn't see anything. Think about it, isn't that scratching and scratching? He accidentally fell from the waterfall and fell directly into the pool. He couldn't swim, so he was soon drowned in the pool. Such an arrogant monkey was easily subdued and killed by the eagle. The eagle saved him. Li Kaiyang and his friends killed their enemies at the same time. It seemed that this eagle was their savior. Li Kaiyang stood under the waterfall and bowed to him repeatedly to thank him for saving his life. The eagle didn't care about it and still stood on the stone with his chest and head held high.

Everyone was saved and continued to walk forward along the river bank. The road became wider and wider. Speaking of which, the magical forest was right above their heads. Now they had gathered, including Fang Dayou. Fang Dayou told everyone the legend of the eagle. He said, "This eagle has actually lived here for many years. People call it the sacred eagle. Sometimes when we encounter it from the bottom of the stream, it always stands on a stone in the middle of the waterfall. It is strange that it does not move. It does not eat. Later, we learned that it spreads its wings and flies to catch fish directly from the water. Many people have seen this spectacular scene. Then it takes off from the water. Its lungs are old and strong, but it can look like this eagle is really different. After eating a large cod, it can keep it alive for a month, so it stands on the stone motionless. Its body is really too big, otherwise how can it bear the weight of one of us!"

This eagle has become Fang Dayou's talking point. He talks about this eagle over and over again, and everyone is a little disgusted. Li Kaiyang said, "Okay, don't tell us about the eagle. We promise to send you home, okay? Don't mention him anymore. Now you are leading the way. We have to know the way to your home. When we get to this Grand Canyon, we can't tell east from west, south from north, how can we get up there!"

Fang Dayou looked at the sky and the surroundings and said, "It's not far. Let's walk a little further. There is a big slope. We can go up the slope and reach the big town where we live. If you don't believe me, just walk a little further and you can see the village here. It's not desolate, it's very prosperous!"

He said that there was a village ahead. Everyone was skeptical. After walking for a while, they saw the curling smoke from cooking fires. The villages were quite dense. This village was probably because it was close to the river. There were trees and rivers. People could cast nets on the river to fish. At the same time, it was sealed in this large canyon. Crops could be grown on both sides of the river. This was really a good place. So it was said that there were many people living and multiplying here. In particular, there was a road that led diagonally to the plain. In fact, it was quite convenient to go up and down. Both ox carts and horse carts were OK. It was just a little laborious when going up, but it was very comfortable when going down. They didn't feel very tired when going up this time. These villages were not very large, so did Li Kaiyang decide to stay here? After coming down, they wanted to keep going up and leave here, especially since he promised to send Fang Dajiu home. Although he was already an adult, Li Kaiyang had said it, so he kept his promise and had to send him back.

They walked forward and arrived at the village he mentioned. So they saw many villagers coming and going. They were very surprised when they saw Li Kaiyang and his friends, because they had never seen these people before, so some people came over to ask them.

"What are you doing? I haven't seen you before. Are you here to fish? It's the fishing off-season now, so you can't fish. If you want to fish, come back in two months. If you want to eat fish, I don't have any dried fish that I can give you!"

The people here are so simple and honest that they actually wanted to give them the fish for free. But he was reluctant to do so. He couldn't just take other people's things. Since he said he had a fishing rod, Xiaolan suddenly wanted to eat fish, so he said to Li Kaiyang.

"Ever since I ate the fish from the pond, I've always wanted to eat this kind of fish. It tastes especially good. I don't know what kind of fish their dried fish is made of. Why don't we eat some fish from them? It's not in vain. We have silver here to give to them!"

Li Kaiyang heard that it was okay. They were exhausted after traveling so far, so it would be good to correct it here. So they entered the village. Although the village was not big, there were dozens of households. As expected, when they arrived at this house, their yard was full of fishing rods. It was said that they caught fish two months ago. This kind of fish is called white fish, which is very fat and bigger than carp. It is also delicious to eat. The owner here is a lady and a brother. They are very enthusiastic and welcome them into the lawn. There are about four or five families in their thatched huts. There are three living rooms, which are enough for them to live in. In addition, there are utility rooms, kitchens, and living rooms. Although it is a thatched hut, it is very neat inside and has everything. Of course, those rich families also have brick and tile houses, but there are only one or two. Most of them are thatched houses. These customers heard that they bought land around the village to encourage some tenants. He helped them take care of the crops, and with more and more money, he became a small local landlord. Their landlords were different from the landlords in other places before. They did not oppress people and treated the villagers like brothers and sisters. They were very friendly. Li Kaiyang found it very fresh. From ancient times to the present, there were many landlords who oppressed people. Why were the landlords here so kind? He wanted to see which landlord was so kind. This left his eldest brother. "The landlords here are not real landlords. They are all poor people. However, they are good at farming. Gradually, they have money and expanded their land to become landlords. They also start to hire a few people. Sometimes we work for them, and sometimes we have a few acres of land to farm. The food we eat mainly comes from fishing. The dried fish we dry is enough to eat a ton. At the same time, we can sell the uneaten ones in the market. In addition, no one cares about our land. We can plant as much as we want. However, many lands are very barren and nothing can grow. The lands of the landlords are fertile land. It can be said that a lot of crops can be grown without glue. Therefore, they are getting richer and richer!"

Li Kaiyang finally understood, so it was like this, it seemed that there was also a gap between the rich and the poor in this place, but it was quite pleasant to live in this place, there was water in front, and the village was quite simple. So he felt like a weary bird returning to the forest late at night, just like he had finally arrived at his place after running around, he just wanted to lie down and enjoy the view of the gate here, and have a peaceful and empty sleep.

After everything was arranged, Li Kaiyang sat on a main chair and closed his eyes. He was so sleepy that he slept until dawn. When he woke up, he was covered with a blanket. He didn't know who covered him. He looked around and didn't see anyone. He thought, they didn't carry me into the house, so they let me cover another blanket outside. Is this good or bad? Thinking about it, he suddenly burst into laughter. He couldn't think like this. They covered him with a blanket, so they must have done it for his own good. They didn't carry him into the house. This was too strange. Who said they would stay in your room? Maybe they had a female student who was inconvenient. Li Kaiyang tried to excuse himself. No matter how he excused himself, he still felt a little unfair. He could be said to be loyal to others, but others were wary of him. It seemed that people could not be 100% opposite to each other. He should be careful.

The fish was cooked, but he didn't eat it. The next day he asked Xiaolan if the fish tasted good. Xiaolan said to him.

"You fell asleep, and we were embarrassed to wake you up. We knew you were too tired, so we covered you with a blanket and let you sleep outside. We slept in the straw hut, and the straw basin was neither too cold nor too hot, which was just comfortable. We knew you were comfortable outside, too. As long as you didn't eat fish last night, he would cook fish today, because they have stored a lot of fishing rods here, just to cope with the winter. Now that so many guests have come, there is nothing else to eat except fishing rods. But I tell you that the roasted dried fish is really delicious. People say that the most delicious food in the world is bird's nest and bear's paw, but today I know that the dried white fish here is the most delicious!"

Li Kaiyang was really excited when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would compare the fishing rod with bird's nest and bear's paw. It looked like it must be delicious, so he didn't hesitate to find the host and asked to continue cooking fish meat today. The host said, of course, we have nothing else to eat except cooking this fish, one is fish and white rice. We grow some rice ourselves, but it's not enough, so we need to buy rice outside, and this fish is enough to eat, because we can't finish the dried fish in one or two years, and the dried fish will not rot, so the longer it is stored, the better it tastes. The dried fish you eat is the dried fish that was dried two years ago. It doesn't have any peculiar smell when you eat it now, and it tastes sweet, right?

He was asking Xiaolan and Gu Xueying, which made Li Kaiyang's mouth water. He wanted to eat the delicious fish right away. Sure enough, the lunch was ready at noon. This time, it was steamed fish and rice. Li Kaiyang was really hungry. This was what normal people should eat. First, he served a large bowl of rice, and then put two pieces of delicious fish in the bowl and ate them. This was really the best delicacy in the world. The fish was smooth and greasy when mixed with rice. It was so delicious. The main thing was that the fish was too fragrant. You would have a mouthful of oil and fragrance. You would not know if there was anything better in the world. This bowl of rice was not enough. Li Kaiyang served another bowl of rice, which was still so delicious. He ate four or five bowls in a row before he was full. He held his stomach with his hand. He said with satisfaction.

"I really had a good meal today. Thank you all for your hospitality. We are all full and satisfied. We will rest here for two more days before leaving!"

The old lady was reluctant to leave them, so he said, "Since you are here, why don't you stay a few more days and keep me company? Although my son is also at home, he is taciturn and doesn't like to joke around, unlike you who talk to make me happy. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly here. You will know when the time comes. The more people here, the better. The more people, the better. Help me to perform crosstalk and study kung fu."

After eating the fish, Li Kaiyang felt much better. He thought this place was great, with mountains and water, and most importantly, the food was delicious. The most important thing was that the white fish in the water could not be bought elsewhere, and he had never seen such fish caught in water. It turned out to be so sweet and delicious. After tasting it, everyone said it was the most delicious fish.

They all wanted to stay here for a few more days, but there was one person who was unhappy, that was Fang Dayou. He was eager to go home, and he didn't want to be here, because he could come when he wanted to, but when he wanted to leave, no one would accompany him, so he couldn't leave. Why couldn't he leave? Because there were tigers above him. Although it was quite peaceful down there, there must be tigers up there, but why weren't the villagers afraid? It turned out that the villagers could resist the tigers in groups of three or five, but these people, they all jumped up and down the mountain, so they were afraid of these tigers. There was no way. Li Kaiyang could only say goodbye and send Fang Dayou home first, which meant that they would come back or not? What would they do if they came back? Once they left, they would never come back again.

That day, Li Kaiyang discussed with everyone, we are leaving, you have rested enough, you have eaten enough, you have slept well, and you have recovered from your injuries. We should send Fang Dayou home, and then we will go back to our homes, and this journey will be over. After hearing this, everyone agreed. They all wanted to leave here immediately. Some people were tired of eating this kind of fish all the time. So Li Kaiyang took Fang Dayou and several other women on the road. The whole village came to see them off. Although it was only a few days, they had developed feelings for each other. Everyone loved this handsome guy very much.

A group of people said goodbye to the people in the village and happily set off with the fish and steamed rice they were going to eat. The host told them that they had to go up the slope all the way and it would take them a day to reach the top where the road was flat. You have to be careful not to fall down because if you fall down, you will be no different from Hyuna and will be smashed to pieces. The people below have adapted to this kind of life, but you must pay attention.
