Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 152

After selling the black fish, Lao Yutou got a lot of money and was in a good mood. He weighed a few catties of meat, sold a pot of wine, and went home to ask his wife to cook a good dish for him to celebrate.

But after taking a sip of the wine and eating a piece of meat, he heard someone knocking on the door and calling his name.

"Is the old fish head there?"

The voice was powerful and powerful, but it also revealed a somewhat strange taste.

"Yes, it's me, who are you?" Old Yutou put down the bowl and chopsticks, and went out with a bit of vigilance to have a look.

But I saw a tall and burly man wearing a black gown and a jade crown standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile.

"Are you an old fish head?" the man in black asked.

The old fish head nodded: "Yes, it's me, are you?"

The man in the black shirt said: "I am a wealthy businessman from other places. My surname is Wu. You can call me shopkeeper Wu. I happened to pass by here today. I heard that the peddler in the town said that today you caught a big mullet in the Wujiang River. I wonder if there is one?" Such a thing?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I did catch a big mullet today." The old fish head nodded.

Shopkeeper Wu said: "It just so happens that my daughter-in-law is about to give birth and needs a mullet to supplement her body. I wonder if the old Yutou can sell me that black fish? Of course, money will not treat you badly."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a follower at the side came over, carrying ten pieces of gleaming silver on a red cloth tray, and came to the old Yutou.

"This is 100 taels of silver. As long as Lao Yutou sells the black fish to me, the 100 taels will be yours." Shopkeeper Wu said.

"One, 100 taels?"

The old Yutou's eyes straightened immediately.

I didn't expect that someone would bid 100 taels for that black fish,

But immediately, he was in trouble again and again.

Shopkeeper Wu said: "Why, don't you think the money is too little, old Yutou?"

The old fish head hurriedly said: "No, no, how could it be, I have never seen the mullet in my life, but I have already sold that mullet to a peddler in the town. The black fish is no longer in my hands, if shopkeeper Wu is not in a hurry, I will get up early tomorrow and catch another black fish for shopkeeper Wu."

"What, you sold that black fish?"

Shopkeeper Wu's face suddenly changed, and his previous amiable expression immediately turned into anger. He grabbed old Wu's head and said, "How can you sell that black fish? My son's robbery should be on you. If you Release my son, I will guarantee your wealth and glory for the rest of your life, but now you have sold my son, damn it, what is the use of your old man alive."

"Ow~!"

After finishing speaking, there was a dragon roar, and a huge black tail suddenly protruded from the back of shopkeeper Wu. This tail was extremely huge, fierce and powerful. At this moment, it was thrown out fiercely, and the old fish's head was beaten with one tail. fly out.

The old Yutou screamed, blood gushed out, and he was beaten and flew into the wooden house.

The wife in the wooden house turned pale with fright when she saw this scene, but then she was hit hard by the head of the flying old fish, and wailing in pain, she fell to the ground with blood flowing out of her mouth. The old Yutou both died in the house.

"Block Jiangyu until I find my son."

Shopkeeper Wu roared angrily at this moment, but he saw a head of jet-black hair rushing up from his crown, turning into a thick mane, and then the huge tail swung the ground, and Shopkeeper Wu flew into the air. The whole person in the middle has undergone earth-shaking changes, his hands and feet have turned into scaly claws, his body is elongated, like a giant snake lying on its side, with sharp horns protruding from the top of his head.

"Ow~!"

The dragon chant sounded, but a huge flood dragon rushed into the sky.

The originally clear sky suddenly became violently violent, followed by thunder and lightning, and dark clouds covering the entire fishing town. In the depths of the dark clouds, where mortals cannot see, a huge dragon shuttled and wandered among the dark clouds, manipulating Clouds and rains, it sees that it is playing with the surrounding dark clouds, distributing clouds and raining wantonly, displaying the ability of the Dragon King of Wujiang.

"Boom~!" Suddenly, thunder rang out.

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed on the old Yutou's wooden house.

The wooden house was instantly struck by lightning and collapsed, burying the dead old Yutou couple inside.

But this is not enough to calm the dragon's anger.

"crash"

Accompanied by the strong wind, the torrential rain poured down and hit the fishing town below, with the momentum to drown the fishing town.

"It's raining heavily, close the stall quickly."

"It's raining heavily, go and take shelter from the rain."

"Why is it raining suddenly at this time, and my clothes haven't been confiscated yet."

The people in the fishing town, washed away by the torrential rain, closed their stalls one after another to avoid the rain, not daring to wander in the streets.

Under the wash of the torrential rain, the fish on many fishing boats, as well as the fresh fish being sold at the fishmonger's stall, regained their vitality at this moment, wagging their tails and fled into the nearby river along the torrential rain.

The peddler was heartbroken when he saw the heavy loss of his goods, but he was powerless to stop it.

Right now, the wind is raging outside and the rain is pouring. Even if people go outside, they may be washed away by the storm, so even if they know that their goods are seriously damaged, few people rush to stop them.

"Drive, drive~!"

However, at this moment, the two fast horses of the Chu family had already rushed out of the fishing town and headed towards Guo Beicheng.

Although the direction of Yuzhen was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain poured down, they were not affected by the heavy rain. Only some small rainwater and breeze swept over, afraid of hitting their faces.

"Master has ordered, don't let this black fish get wet in the rain, wrap it in oilcloth quickly." A guard of the Chu family said.

"Don't worry, I've already packed it, and I promise it won't get rained on." Another person replied.

The two fast horses quickly disappeared into the distance, throwing off the violent wind and rain behind them.

But what happened here, the people in Guobei City didn't know.

Because at this time, all the scholars in Guobei City were busy preparing for the exam, and even Li Xiuyuan was no exception.

In the past few days, even the scholars who like to make friends are not allowed to go out. The scholars from poor families are studying hard to ensure that they can pass the college examination smoothly.

No matter how well the scholars in the city prepare, the day of the college examination is still coming as scheduled.

Just three days later, the day when the college examination was scheduled to start arrived.

The next night, because her young master was going to take the exam, Du Chunhua prepared the food for the exam early, as well as the clothes for the night.

The entrance examination takes two days, and the board and lodging are all in the Gongyuan. Once the examinee enters, he cannot come out. He can only come out after the examination is over. Therefore, the examinee needs to prepare his own food and clothes.

This morning, Li Xiuyuan got up when the sky was slightly bright, and he didn't stay in bed as usual.

"Chunhua, what are you busy with? Hurry up and leave."

He was about to go out with Xiaodie to the Gongyuan, but seeing Du Chunhua hadn't come out yet, he couldn't help urging.

"I'm coming."

Du Chunhua responded, and trotted out in a hurry, but saw that she was holding a quilt, carrying a food box, a lot of big and small bags, and she was out of breath before she ran over.

Li Xiuyuan rubbed his head and said: "What are you doing with so many things? It's just a two-day hospital exam. It's not about moving. Put down everything else, and just bring a food box."

"Master, it's always right to bring more things. I heard from the people in the city that there was a scholar who didn't bring a brocade quilt. He fell ill during the exam, so he didn't perform well and didn't pass the exam." Du Chunhua said gasping.

"Give these things to Lu Bo, and let me go with the food box."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, walked over and put down all the things in her hands, then took the food box, grabbed her hand, and dragged her away.

Lest the maid want to pack something again.

Du Chunhua blushed slightly, but did not struggle, and let her young master hold her, looking around from time to time, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Xiaodie, by the way, are the brushes, ink, paper and inkstone ready?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"The servant girl was ready the day before yesterday." Xiaodie patted the package and said with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Now that you're ready, let's go."
