Become a Taoist from a woodcutter

Chapter 47 Identifying people by listening to their voices
Wow
It was raining heavily and the sky was dark.

"Why is it raining?"

"You can't catch this fish."

The fishermen around him looked ugly, muttered, and cursed God.

"Put on your raincoat in advance? That's really foresight."

Some people looked at Chu Jiang with envy, but they could only envy him for a moment.

Just now Liu Zi came to talk to him, which was enough to make these people timid.

After all, Liuzi is Daxiong's sworn brother and the elder brother of Yongyi.

The fishermen left one after another.

The sudden heavy rain made them return in the rain.

On the river surface, water vapor rose, and the fish floats could not be seen clearly.

Chu Jiang felt the fishing rod sink, and raised it slightly, a palm-sized crucian carp appeared.

Without unique bait, he had no bad luck.

Fishing with peace of mind, water vapor will not affect his vision.

With your feet submerged in the water, you can always absorb the aura of the river.

After fishing for another half an hour, we caught two more fish, a carp weighing five to six pounds and a crucian carp.

Enough for today. Let’s finish up and go home.

He stood up and looked into the distance. There was another person fishing in the heavy rain.

The clothes on his body were soaked, his hair stuck to his face, and his trousers were covered with mud. He looked a little embarrassed.

The heavy rain fell, accompanied by the howling wind, and the fish float fluctuated, making it difficult to grasp.

Chu Jiang knew him, Zhang Xing, a thirty-five-year-old middle-aged man, older and younger.

There used to be a fishing net that followed the Zhang family shop and made a living by fishing.

He walked over and came to Zhang Xing: "Why don't you go back? It's not easy to fish in such a heavy rain."

Zhang Xing raised his head and glanced at him, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he nervously scratched the corner of his clothes: "I, I'll catch a fish and then go back."

"Are you afraid of me?" Chu Jiang said calmly.

"No, it's not." Zhang Xing defended hurriedly, not daring to look at him.

Chu Jiang took out the largest fish from the fish basket and put it in his fish basket: "Go home. I remember that you have an old mother to support and two children."

Zhang Xing opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but he didn't dare to refuse, and his face turned red.

He murmured in a low voice: "Thank you, I have had no income for a long time."

"The reason for the surname Zhang?" Chu Jiang said calmly.

"Yes." Zhang Xing lowered his head.

"Hate Big Bear?" Chu Jiang asked again.

The three major shops merged, the Zhang family fell, Dongchu fell, and Daxiong formed Yongyi.

Many people who used to work in Zhangjia's store have lost their jobs.

Without the source of income, the family cannot afford to support themselves.

In the past, I could make a living by fishing while my wife weaved, but not anymore.

Zhang Xing was silent.

Although the big bear did not affect ordinary workers and allowed fishing, it can be said that they are more tolerant than the Zhang family and Dong Chu.

But after all, the surname is Chu, and those with the same surname are given priority.

Chu Jiang sighed slightly, said no more, turned and left.

"Wait a minute, can you please tell Mr. Xiong that we can go fishing, and we will all sell to him."

Zhang Xing's knees weakened and he knelt on the ground, shouting hoarsely: "We only need a way to survive. We don't want the fishing nets that were robbed. We can raise money and weave our own fishing nets."

"Go home." Chu Jiang waved his hand.

Things have changed in Dongjiang Town, and the lives of people in the town have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Zhang Xing is not the only one. In the past, the Zhang family took care of him, weaved fishing nets, and fished.

Now that it's gone, for them, the sky has fallen.

"The mortal world is difficult." Chu Jiang sighed slightly and quickly disappeared into the heavy rain.

When passing by the market, I bought some food.

If he were not alone, he would be similar to Zhang Xing.

Think about the time when my father fell ill, emptied the family's assets, and owed a lot of debt, which had to be paid off by collecting firewood day after day.

Walking in the rain, he looked at the misty sky, raised his hand slightly, and the rain stopped around him.

Immortal qi refiners can do whatever they want, which is what mortals long for in their lives.

The rain dispersed, allowing the heavy rain to come.

Back home, work on the fish and side dishes.

Pickle the fish, sit cross-legged in the house, and swallow a drop of spiritual liquid.

By practicing the life-circulating method, the true energy circulates, the spiritual liquid is refined, and the true energy grows rapidly.

His limbs, bones, flesh and bones are also being tempered by the true energy, becoming stronger.

A drop of spiritual liquid was refined, and the sky was already dark.

The rain was still falling, and he heard the footsteps of two people.

Process the fish and start stewing.

After a moment, a tall and burly figure walked in.

"Brother." Daxiong sat down in the house and smelled the fragrance: "I just miss my cooking."

"Let Qinghe come in." Chu Jiang said calmly.

Daxiong was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother, how did you know Qinghe was coming?"

"I remember his footsteps." Chu Jiang said calmly: "Qinghe."

Lin Qinghe then walked in from outside, took off his raincoat, and stood aside: "Brother."

"It's time to give birth." Chu Jiang looked at Lin Qinghe.

Lin Qinghe lowered his head: "Brother Big Bear said that you want to be quiet. I originally wanted to pick you up to enjoy the happiness."

"I don't want happiness in this world." Chu Jiang smiled lightly and said, "Huang Xuan won't leave with this attitude?"

"If he doesn't want to leave, he has to leave." Lin Qinghe snorted, with an unruly look on his face.

Chu Jiang frowned. The timid young man in the past was now a bit arrogant.

Big Bear glared at him: "That's the county master, what are you talking about?"

After a pause, he looked at the Chu River and said: "Before, there was no way to fish in the river, no way to collect firewood in the mountains, and everyone had no food. They relied on their savings to survive until now. Some people have long been unable to survive. They plan to Went into the mountains to collect firewood."

"Life is tough." Chu Jiang nodded.

"When there are many woodcutters, how can he still find one? I haven't sold firewood for a long time, and they say you don't want to be a woodcutter anymore."

Daxiong said: "I estimate that people will leave in a few days after the weather clears up. By the way, brother, is Huang Xuan really here to find you?"

"I don't know." Chu Jiang said calmly: "It's just that I don't want to deal with them and want to be quiet."

"I understand." Daxiong said with a serious expression: "I will give instructions to the people below. Brother, I have something I want to ask you to give me some advice on."

"Say." Chu Jiang said.

"Many of the workers in Zhang's shop have lost their livelihood, but my subordinates are all people with the surname Chu, and they don't agree to let people surnamed Zhang join." Daxiong said.

"Did Liuzi tell you about my conversation with Zhang Xing?" Chu Jiang asked.

"I can't hide it from my brother. Zhang Xing even knelt down in front of me at that time." Daxiong scratched his head.

"You are the master of Yongyi and the person in power of Dongjiang Town. You are not my puppet, and I will not intercede for Zhang Xing." Chu Jiang said calmly.

"We shouldn't use them. What does their life and death have to do with us?" Lin Qinghe said.

"I understand." Daxiong said with a smile: "Brother is right. Now I am the person in power of Dongjiang Town, and they are also part of Dongjiang Town."

"Brother Big Bear?" Lin Qinghe was stunned.

Daxiong glared at him: "I asked you to study, but you fished and caught shrimps. There are many fishermen with the Zhang surname. We, the Chu surname, all pick up what others have left. How can you repair the damaged fishing net?"

Daxiong fully accepted Dongchu's business, but if he wanted to get through the waterway business surnamed Zhang, he really relied on someone named Zhang.

Lin Qinghe's face turned red. He really didn't know how to repair fishing nets.

Chu Jiang looked at the fish in the pot and said, "Okay, let's eat."
