Chapter 49: Reaching an Agreement
"Little thing, are you interested in my two golden loaches?"
Seeing the little black beast staring at the kitchen, Lu Qing couldn't help but cover his forehead.
I couldn't help but guess, it must be.
Because the two golden loaches were placed in the kitchen.
He recalled how the little black beast had circled around him and sniffed him. It must have smelled the scent of the golden loach on him.
After all, he had just transferred two golden loaches into the water tank in the evening and pressed them down with wooden boards to prevent them from jumping out and escaping in the middle of the night.
Once the fishy smell sticks to your body, it is difficult to get rid of it in a short time.
I didn't expect this little creature to have such a sensitive nose. Even among the mixed smells of so many fish, it could still distinguish the smell of golden loach.
The little black beast did not answer, but just looked at Lu Qing quietly.
However, through the time they had spent together, Lu Qing understood what it meant.
It just wanted to eat those two golden loaches.
Lu Qing couldn't help but have a headache.
"Little thing, let's make a deal. You can eat as much fish as you want here. If it's not enough, I'll get you more. I'll keep the two golden loaches. Is that ok?"
Lu Qing didn't care whether the little black beast could understand his long words or not, and started to discuss with it.
However, it was unclear whether the little black beast was pretending to be dumb or really didn't understand.
Anyway, it just blinked and continued to look fixedly towards the kitchen behind Lu Qing.
Okay, now Lu Qing understood that this little thing was determined to eat the golden loach.
Knowing that there was no room for negotiation, Lu Qing could only take a step back.
"One, I can only give you one, I'll keep the other one for my own use, I can't give it to you."
Lu Qing stretched out a finger and said seriously.
The little black beast looked at Lu Qing quietly for a while, and finally nodded.
"You really can understand what I'm saying!"
Seeing the actions of the little black beast, how could Lu Qing not understand?
He had guessed it before, but he was never sure.
Now seeing this guy's performance, it can finally be confirmed.
This guy has always been able to understand what he says, and he has been pretending to be stupid for so long!
After hearing Lu Qing's words, the little black beast returned to its previous silly and calm expression, as if to say, "I have no idea what you are talking about."
But Lu Qing would not be confused by it again.
He felt a little amused and helpless when he thought that he had been fooled by a little beast for so long.
Turning back to the kitchen, he lifted the wooden board on the water tank and caught a golden loach. Then Lu Qing went back to the yard.
"I can only give you one, do you want it?"
When the black little beast saw the golden loach struggling and twisting in Lu Qing's hand, its eyes lit up.
As soon as Lu Qing finished speaking, he felt a black shadow flash before his eyes. His hand loosened and the golden loach in his hand disappeared.
When he looked carefully, the little black beast was already holding the golden loach in its mouth and eating it in big mouthfuls.
Lu Qing felt a pain in his heart as he watched it bite off the golden loach's head.
That’s hundreds of taels of silver.
But he saw the little black beast eating with such joy that its eyes narrowed and its tail wagged, looking extremely happy.
I can only comfort myself.
Forget it. After all, this little thing gave him such a precious hundred-year-old ginseng last night. It’s only right to give it something good to eat as a return gift.
The little black beast ate quite quickly. Before long, a plump golden loach weighing almost two kilograms had completely fallen into its stomach.
After eating the golden loach, the little black beast looked at Lu Qing again.
Lu Qing was startled and said quickly: "It's gone. I need the remaining one, so I can't give it to you!"
The little black beast glanced at Lu Qing, as if it disliked his stinginess, then walked to the basin of fish and began to eat leisurely.
Lu Qing: ...
It turns out that you don't dislike these small fish, but want to eat the delicious food first.
However, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the little black beast did not continue to ask him for the remaining golden loach.
Fortunately, this little thing is reasonable, otherwise if it really wanted to snatch another golden loach, Lu Qing would have no way to stop it.
Looking at the little black beast eating happily, Lu Qing thought for a while and squatted down.
"Little one, do you really like eating strange fish like the one just now?"
After confirming that the little black beast could understand what he was saying, Lu Qing became interested in communicating.
The little beast raised its head and looked at Lu Qing, its eyes sparkling.
Lu Qing quickly said: "I'm not saying I'm going to give you another golden loach, don't get me wrong."
Hearing this, the little black beast immediately lowered its head to eat the fish and ignored him.
Lu Qing didn't care. "But, just because I can't give you the golden loach doesn't mean I can't give you other exotic fish if I catch them in the future."
The little beast raised its head again and looked at him with some confusion.
"Little thing, how about we make a deal?" Seeing that it was interested, Lu Qing took the opportunity to say, "If I catch another fish like the golden loach in the future, as long as you find the plant roots like last night, I will trade them with you. How about it?"
Plant rhizomes from last night?
The little black beast tilted its head and thought for a while, then realized that Lu Qing was talking about the grass it gave him last night.
It just instinctively felt that the grass seemed a little special, so it dug it up and gave it to the two-legged beast.
Now it seems that he likes it very much?
It remembered that the grass still grew in its activity area in the mountains.
However, digging grass is not a difficult task for the little black beast.
But it couldn't promise him so easily.
Who told him not to give it even one more fish? Humph!
The little black beast pretended to hesitate for a long time before reluctantly nodding in agreement.
Lu Qing had no idea that a young animal, still in its infancy, had so many twists and turns in its mind.
He was very surprised to see that the little beast agreed.
If the little thing can really dig up century-old ginseng, then it doesn’t matter if all the strange fish caught in the future are eaten by it.
After all, to him, ginseng is much more valuable than strange fish.
In this way, both the man and the beast felt that they had gotten a great deal and happily reached an agreement.
Although it had eaten a golden loach, the little black beast still ate all the fish in the basin, and its stomach was a little bloated when it left.
Looking at the little black beast crossing the fence with a somewhat clumsy look, Lu Qing smiled and shook his head.
It turns out that he loves fish so much that he would rather eat a lot than have any fish left.
After the little beast disappeared, Lu Qing took the wooden basin back to the kitchen, cleaned it, and went back to his room to sleep.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Lu Qing got up early and practiced the health-preserving boxing several times. He immediately felt refreshed.
The health-preserving boxing is indeed a style of boxing that was painstakingly created by the master.
As its name suggests, boxing is extremely effective in regulating and recuperating the body.
After only practicing for two or three days, Lu Qing already felt that his physical fitness had improved a lot and his spirits were much more vigorous.
After a simple yet nutritious breakfast, Lu Qing took Xiaoyan and carried the golden loach in a bucket to the courtyard halfway up the mountain.
When going up the mountain, Lu Qing was still feeling a little expectant.
According to what the master said before he went into seclusion yesterday, the Qi-boosting and Blood-replenishing Pill can be refined today.
With the help of elixirs, I believe it’s only a matter of time before he can enter the Qi and Blood realm.
