Aggrieved Fish Sprite: 36|Long Ye
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter!
Mo Li's fear of cats should start from when he was "nine years old".
It was very hot that summer, and there was no wind even in the mountains.
A family in the mountain had an emergency, and Qin Lu went out. Because it was too hot, he felt sorry for his disciple, so he put his disciple at home and didn't ask him to go out and get the sun.
As soon as Mr. Qin walked away, Moli immediately moved the bath tub out, filled the bath tub with a few buckets of well water, then closed the doors and windows, and turned back into fish swimming in the water.
——It's horrible not to let the fish play in the water on such a hot day.
The water in the well is very cold, so the whole body of a certain fish is refreshed.
Because of being so comfortable, and being sleepy in the summer afternoon, Moli fell asleep unknowingly.
An old monk lived in the mountain temple and raised two cats. Later, the old monk passed away. These cats hunted nearby and sometimes lay on the beams of the temple to sleep. When Carp went to carry the water from the well, he did not notice that a cat had slipped into his house and squatted on the beam of the house watching the "fish" play intently.
Seeing that there was no movement in the water for a long time, the cat came down silently, jumped on the edge of the wooden barrel, stretched out its paws and went to fish.
The fish woke up, evasively avoiding the cat's claws.
The wild cat's hunting skills are very skilled, and the fish will be shot out of the water in two or three strokes and landed on the ground.
Seeing that the cat leaped forward, the ink carp changed back directly.
By such a coincidence, Mr. Qin also came back, and when he entered the door, he saw water on the ground. The little apprentice sat on the ground naked, with a few shallow cat paw prints on his body, and the cat was still lying on the lotus root. Licking around on his chubby arms, meowing suspiciously-where's the fish, where did the big fish go?
Qin Lu was so scared that he immediately drove the cat away. Fortunately, the wound was not serious. After applying the medicine, he discovered that the little apprentice had directly soaked in the well water for a bath. He was so angry that he poured a bowl of medicinal soup into the disciple, and then penalized another copy. Pile of medical books.
Moli didn't understand many things at that time. After copying the book, he quietly peeped at the group of wild cats fishing by the stream.
Several fishes were photographed so dizzy, and some cats didn't eat them yet, just patted and played, and then they slowly filled their belly until the fish was dying. It was terrible. From then on, Moli walked around the cat.
Later Moli knew that there were many animals in the mountains that would fish and eat, such as bears.
Humans also eat fish. In winter, every household has dried salted fish, but those black carps don't feel anything. After all, those fish don't look like themselves.
The big fish in the stream will also eat the small fish.
Moli has never seen a fish that looks exactly like him, so even if Mr. Qin stewed the fish in front of him, he didn't care.
But cats are different. They really hurt themselves.
The initial shadows are really hard to get rid of.
Of course the matter is Doctor Mo, and there is another saying that he is not afraid of cats, but dislikes raccoon slaves.
"...You mean, you will get itchy when you touch a cat, and even take medicine to get better?" Meng Qi looked up and down the ink carp, very doubting the authenticity of this sentence.
——Their reactions are so consistent, which proves that they are of the same race. The doctor said they were ticklish, but why didn’t they tick at all?
Doctor Mo didn't move his eyebrows, he was very calm, because there were indeed people in the world suffering from such a disease. What happened to him as a reason?
Meng Qi also began to save face for himself: "When I kept that gerbil, I was very worried about its safety. The fences outside the courtyard were tightly tightened, and I deliberately walked around the thorns, just because I was worried that there would be wildcats. The weasel went in to harm my elixir. For a while, I sat in the yard at night, opened my eyes when I heard a sound, and chased those guys away..."
Moli thought coldly, the elixir is still a reason, the true face of that gerbil has yet to be verified!
By the way, as afraid of cats as himself, Doctor Mo suspected that Meng Qi's original form was also a fish. He looked at Meng Qi inquisitively, and happened to collide with the other's eyes.
"..."
Each turned his head, continued to think and thought that the other party's justification was completely untrustworthy.
Mo Lei is wondering whether Meng Qi is a fish or a mouse; Meng Qi has added the mysterious feature of "fear of cats" to that mysterious tribe, because he has no idea why he is afraid of cats.
Xianlong is more than intelligent, and Chang'an Junwu is the most popular.
Chu Dynasty literati Yashiduo loves raccoon slaves, regardless of high or low, and often carries such a cat in his arms.
Meng Qi thought for a long time, but didn't understand why he didn't want to be close by a cat.
It's a mystery!
***
When passing by Pinan County, Moli saw a large number of people entering the city, guessing that it was General Liu's subordinates, so instead of entering the city, they went straight to Shilang Mountain.
Sixty Miles Mountain Road said it’s not near, and it’s not far.
Originally, at the speed of two people, it was possible to go faster, but not far from Pinan County, there were more and more people on the mountain road, and they were all caravans. They were going to Shiro in the same direction. mountain.
Fortunately, Moli had a foresight. When he left, he found a thick robe for Meng Qi to cover his head and face.
Otherwise, if you wear single clothes in this kind of weather, you will be dazzled wherever you go. Moli doesn't like to attract too many people's attention.
But it is weird that there are so many people on the road. It is the twelfth lunar month. Business people should be anxious to handle the goods and prepare to return home for the New Year. They will not continue to run around outside. Are these caravans all from Shilang Mountain?
Mo Lei inquired about it, and found that it was really the case.
Silang Mountain Lu belongs to Qiuling County. There is a powerful Si clan in the area. He has been famous for several hundred years, and he has also served the Chen Dynasty before. In the last years of the Chen Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, the Si family built a dock in Shilang Mountain and raised eight hundred soldiers. Several nearby counties have all returned to Sijiapu. The development momentum is very good, and it can be regarded as a small force.
Sijiapu was lucky. Because Pingzhou was not a battleground for military strategists, he was not involved in the war, so he killed the bandits and wiped out some rebellious troops who fled here. Limited by manpower and material resources, Sijiapu could not do much.
Li Yuanze established the country as Chu, and the small forces in the separatist areas would be crushed by the Chu army if they did not dismiss their soldiers and submit.
Sijiabao naturally wouldn't touch the egg with the stone. He took the initiative to surrender and disbanded his soldiers and horses. In the end, he got the post of Qiuling County Lieutenant, which is also considered a change, and he rejoined the officialdom of the new dynasty.
Si's is a local snake after all. He is very powerful in Shilang Mountain. Even if he ceases to be a county lieutenant, no one in Qiuling County dares to offend Si's family.
When the Chu Dynasty was over, the original Sijiapu quietly planted soldiers. Anyway, raising private soldiers was a matter of tacit understanding by the family, and the Sijia became a hegemon in Qiuling County.
The young master of the Si family of this generation is even more talented, and he successfully expanded the Si family industry at a young age.
Now half of the county seat of Qiuling County is the business of the Si family. From the restaurant to the cloth house, the Si family has intervened.
Most of the caravans in front of them belonged to the Si family, and the rest were other merchants in Qiuling County, who followed the Si family to drink some oil and water. The end of the year was approaching, and caravans rushed back from all directions and brought some goods back for sale.
Because they carry a large amount of belongings, these caravans have guards. They are tall and large, with a knife and a bow. At first glance, they are not dart walkers, but guards raised by the Si family.
Bows and arrows, etc., are prohibited by the people. They are weapons of the imperial court's army. However, most gentry and powerful people do not regard the imperial court in their eyes. For local snakes like Sijia, the county government has to give some face to them, so they dare. Radi flashed the prohibited bows and arrows outside, and ordinary bandits would retreat when they saw it.
In the mouths of these caravans, the wealthy generals of Qiuling County are all due to the Si family.
The driver who drove the car even blows up the young master of the Si family.
The driver is not a member of the Sijia caravan, and Moli can't inquire about anything from the Sijia caravan. The guards are very dedicated and do not allow strangers to approach the caravan at all.
When the coachman spoke of Sijia, his tone was full of envy.
Mo Li looked at him and estimated that this man came back from the outside and followed the Sijia caravan all the way, so I haven't heard the rumor prevailing in Pingzhou.
——Shilang Mountain discovered a gold mine, and the local tycoons secretly digged it out. After the incident was revealed, they killed all the miners who mined the mine in order to conceal the facts. Later, when the mountains were haunted by ghosts, some people said that the ghosts were still in the air and the evil spirits were frozen in the sky, so a blizzard fell in the sky.
These were all told by Dr. He from Ma County to Moli.
The rumors did not mention the powerful surname, but in Qiuling County at the head of Shilang Mountain, it seems that there is only one Sijia who meets the conditions.
"My two brothers are visiting relatives in Qiuling County. I want to find out how many villages are near the mountain?"
Mo Li patiently talked to the coachman. When the other party brags about the Si family, he can nod his head to agree with him. Meng Qi was quite surprised. From his appearance, he thought that Mo Li was a cold temperament and did not like words. people.
Meng Qi changed his mind, how could a doctor be impatient because of talking to a trafficker?
"...In this way, the young master of the Si family is indeed a genius of business. I don't know the father of the young master, what deeds does this master of the Si family have now?"
The coachman was questioned. He scratched his head for a long time, but he couldn't stop talking.
The **** guy who is also a small caravan smiled and said: "Having such a arrogant son is enough to show off for a lifetime! In fact, it's all luck. It's a coincidence that the Si family has today. You think, young Si family No matter how the Lord has the patience, he must have enough capital! How could Si's family give a lot of money to make a young man mess around? Even if he is the next Patriarch, it is impossible!"
"So, the cost is--
"It's the elixir in the mountains! About seven years ago, the Si family discovered many precious medicinal materials in the deep mountains. They have been involved in a hundred years to grasp.... It is said that there is also the formed Polygonum multiflorum, but the Si family made a freshman. Pen!"
Mo Li heard the word "Elixir", buzzed in his head, and quickly went to see Meng Qi's situation.
Meng Qi is not ill, but his expression is sarcasm.
The coachman over there is still arguing with his companions.
"Hey? How did I hear that the Si family met a dragon in the mountains..."
"How is it possible, where is the dragon in this world!"
The man in the carriage sneered, "Even if there is, how could the dragon hide in the mountains? Pingzhou is not a good place. Do you want to say that the dragon gave the Si family a lot of medicinal materials? Shanglong, do you want to rebel?"
The coachman said annoyed: "Why not? Someone saw it. At that time, there was a dragon's shadow in the sky, but in the middle of the night, few people saw it."
"Just blow it!"
The people in the caravan were still bickering, and Moli's expression became more and more ugly. Meng Qi saw his reaction in his eyes and quietly moved closer.
"Doctor, are you looking for that dragon?"
"..."
Mo Li looked at Meng Qi, and seemed to want to ask if Meng Qi was from Shilang Mountain, and then thought about it. Meng Qi had arrived in Taijing a long time ago, and he should have nothing to do with Shilang Mountain.
"Dragon is an illusory saying, why did Brother Meng say this?"
