Chapter 51 Catching Lobsters and Crabs
An Lei heard a hint of anger in his tone, and quickly took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and fed it to the second official.
At this time, Pei Shaoling looked at An Lei and the other two, "What happened? How did they get poisoned?"
An Twenty-Three and An Twenty-Four looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "We don't know what's going on either."
"Food...my lady?"
Pei Shaoling wanted to turn around and ask Qiao Qiqi, but found that she was squatting and searching the bodies of the officials.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
Pei Shaoling frowned and watched Qiao Qiqi stuff the change she found on one of the officers into her sleeve.
Qiao Qiqi, who was caught touching the corpse, looked at him awkwardly.
"We'll need the silver for many things in the future, and these people won't be able to use it anyway, so we can't waste it."
Adhering to the principle that waste is shameful, Qiao Qiqi continued to search the bodies of the dead officials.
"My dear, please don't look for it anymore. I will give you lots of gold in the future, okay?"
Pei Shaoling tried to stop her in a soft voice, "These people are dead and have a lot of yin energy. You're a girl, don't touch them."
"It's okay!"
Qiao Qiqi thought that she had touched the corpse last time, and nothing happened.
Seeing that he couldn't stop Qiao Qiqi, Pei Shaoling sighed helplessly.
Let her be!
So he stopped asking questions and stood there watching Qiao Qiqi searching for treasure with great interest.
"Hey, what is this?"
Qiao Qiqi found a palm-sized object wrapped in oilcloth from the chief constable's body.
When the oilcloth was opened, the words "Customs Clearance Document" were written on it.
It is also stamped with the official seal of the county government in Beijing and the seal of the Taiping Town Post Station.
Qiao Qiqi instantly understood the function of these things.
She casually handed the item to An Lei and said, "Keep it here. It should be useful on the road ahead."
Afterwards, she went to the small river nearby to wash her hands.
The stream is shallow and clear, and you can see the bottom is full of pebbles.
While washing her hands, Qiao Qiqi actually saw quite a few lobsters and crabs.
Wow!
Her eyes lit up.
In fact, her supermarket also has a lot of seafood, but she doesn't dare to take it out for fear of being exposed.
I didn’t expect to see pure natural lobsters and crabs here.
Pei Shaoling narrowed his narrow peach blossom eyes slightly. He thought Qiao Qiqi would come back after washing her hands.
Unexpectedly, I saw Qiao Qiqi planning to take off her shoes and socks and go into the river.
"Madam, what are you going to do?"
He called out softly, then looked at An Lei and the other two, "You guys clean up this place, and keep a close eye on the living one. When he wakes up, ask him what happened and who poisoned him!"
"yes!"
An Lei and others responded and started to get busy.
Pei Shaoling looked at one of the three people who revealed his true face, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.
In the creek, Qiao Qiqi took out a fishing basket from the seafood section of the supermarket and began to happily fish in the water.
Hearing her silver bell-like laughter, Pei Shaoling shook his head helplessly.
I don’t know if she didn’t care or was just a little bit insane, she just touched the corpse and now she’s playing in the river.
However, when he saw the many-clawed aquatic creatures in her net bag, Pei Shaoling frowned.
"My lady, why are you catching these? They are poisonous and cannot be eaten."
He reminded her softly, "Come up quickly! There's an undercurrent under this stream. Don't get swept away."
Qiao Qiqi raised the net bag in her hand and smiled at him lightly, "It's not poisonous, don't worry, I'll make you some delicious food tomorrow, I guarantee you'll want more after you've eaten it."
"Then you come up, I'll do it!"
Pei Shaoling had no choice but to call her.
Qiao Qiqi nodded, "Okay."
It's already a cold spring season, and it's late at night, and it's also very humid here.
It's a bit cold after standing in the water for a long time.
However, she still asked worriedly, "Your leg injury has just healed, so you can't go into the water, right?"
"You come up first, I won't go in the water."
Pei Shaoling stretched out his right hand towards her and spoke softly.
Qiao Qiqi was a little curious about how he caught lobsters and crabs without going into the water, so she walked to the river in two or three steps and pulled him ashore.
Pei Shaoling helped her sit down on a large rock two meters away from the shore and brought her shoes and socks over. "Put them on quickly to avoid catching a cold."
Seeing Qiao Qiqi nod, he walked to the river again.
Qiao Qiqi sat there curiously watching Pei Shaoling's actions.
He just waved his sleeves, and the river was like firecrackers, with waves rising into the sky.
It was also accompanied by a huge roaring sound of water splashing.
Immediately afterwards, the fish, shrimps and crabs in the stream fell to the bank of the stream like rain.
Oh my god!
Can this martial art be used like this?
Qiao Qiqi was shocked, and then went barefoot to pick up fish, shrimps and crabs.
Soon, the fish bag was full.
She thought for a moment, took out a wooden basin from the supermarket space, and started picking up again.
Looking at Qiao Qiqi happily picking up the fish and shrimps, Pei Shaoling shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of doting.
Soon, the wooden basin was full, and there were only a few fish and shrimp left on the shore after she had picked them up.
Looking at the fish and shrimp in the basin, Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but start thinking about spicy lobster, steamed crabs, etc.
Thinking of this, she swallowed unconsciously.
Emma, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
"Let's go, it's too late, let's do it tomorrow."
Looking at her excited look, Pei Shaoling said helplessly.
"No, I'll take care of them tonight, or they'll get smelly."
Looking at the fish and shrimp that had fainted in the basin, Qiao Qiqi shook her head softly.
Pei Shaoling had just brought them ashore so violently that some of the fragile ones had already died.
If you leave it overnight, the taste will be different.
"Why don't you go back first and I'll get this out first."
A dagger appeared in Qiao Qiqi's hand and she began to deal with the fish and shrimp.
How could Pei Shaoling leave her here alone?
So, he sat on the stone where Qiao Qiqi had just sat, and began to practice internal energy with his eyes closed.
While killing the fish, Qiao Qiqi looked at Pei Shaoling's handsome face.
Men with martial arts skills are handsome!
As if they had telepathy, Pei Shaoling opened his narrow peach blossom eyes again, curled his lips and looked at Qiao Qiqi.
After being caught peeking, Qiao Qiqi was so embarrassed that she quickly lowered her head and continued to concentrate on killing the fish.
"My wife?"
Pei Shaoling called her softly.
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Qiqi raised her head and looked at him with blinking eyes.
"Once you've taken care of this, how about I teach you some self-defense techniques? You've accumulated thirty years of internal energy now. Learning some techniques will help you protect yourself."
Pei Shaoling looked at her softly, "After I send you and mother to the north, I will be away for a while. If you can master martial arts, I will be able to rest assured."
