Chapter 044 Chapter 44
Li Qingshan suddenly found a small golden fish on a small stall. It looked golden, very beautiful, rich, and shining.
He stopped in front of the stall and asked curiously, "Did you just catch this today?"
The vendor nodded repeatedly and smiled enthusiastically, "Yes, I just caught it today. There is only one fish like this in the net bag. It's very rare. Do you want one?"
"I'm afraid this rare fish is not delicious."
Li Qingshan shook his head. "If it's not delicious, you can keep it." The stall vendor said with a smile. "I
don't know how to keep fish. I'm afraid it will die. That would be bad." Li Qingshan continued to shake his head. "Actually, there is a way to make everything delicious." The vendor rolled his eyes. "What is the method?" Li Qingshan leaned forward. "Wash it clean, coat it with a layer of batter, add a lot of salt and chili powder, fry it in a pan, take it out and pour a layer of sauce on it, it will be delicious. Everything will taste good." The vendor waved his hand and said. "If the oil and salt are very cheap, this method is suitable. But I just arrived and don't have much money. I'm afraid I can't do it. What's more, heating oil is too dangerous and it's easy to get into trouble." Li Qingshan shook his head again. "Then I can't do anything. But this is really a very beautiful fish." The vendor shook his head and said. "It looks good, it's really good. How much do you want?" Li Qingshan nodded and asked. The vendor was a little surprised that he would ask the price. He looked at him and smiled and said a number: "This fish is not expensive, but it can't be sold cheaply. It depends on whether you are willing to buy it. Can you afford it?" Li Qingshan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to buy it, but this price is still not suitable. How about you lower it a little bit?" "Will you buy it if it's a little lower?" The vendor blinked and asked expectantly. "I'm short of money. If you don't lower the price, I can't buy it even if I want to." Li Qingshan said with a smile. "Okay, since you seem to be sincere about buying it, I'll lower the price a little. This is a live fish. Even if it doesn't taste good, it's still fresh enough to fill your stomach. It can't be any lower." The vendor counted again. "Okay, I'll buy it, but I want it alive, not dead. You have to give me some water, otherwise I'm worried that this fish will die easily after drinking water from other places." Li Qingshan said cautiously. "It's just a little water, I'll give it to you." The vendor waved his hand, looking generous. Li Qingshan bought a bowl from the side, took some water and put the fish in it. The vendor said happily: "Next time you want to buy fish, remember to come to me. The weather is good recently. I often catch fish. If you want any special fish, you can also tell me." "Okay." Li Qingshan nodded. He used the attention system to exchange some money and rented a house nearby. As it got darker, he put the bowl of water on the flat table and tidied up to go to bed. At night, he heard some strange noises. Li Qingshan sat up from the bed, used all his limbs to get out of bed, put on his shoes, turned on the light and looked around. There was nothing in the house. But outside the window, there was a branch that was blown by the wind and kept knocking on the window, just like someone was knocking on the door. Li Qingshan went over to open the window and broke the branch. At the same time as the sound of snapping, he felt a sound somewhere else. He closed the window with the branch and turned to look for another place where the sound was made at the same time. He didn't find it. He was ready to take a rest, but he could vaguely hear breathing sounds other than his own in other houses. This time he did not turn on the lights, but walked in the room in the dark, and he actually caught a person. The person resisted wildly when he was caught. Li Qingshan had to knock the person out, and then turned on the lights again. He found that it was a thin young man wearing tattered old clothes. The clothes were very black and the shoes were also worn out. Li Qingshan dragged the person out and met someone patrolling outside. Li Qingshan handed the person to the patrolman: "Although I don't know if this is within the scope of your responsibility, take this person away, he is not from my family." "How can someone who is not from your family be in your house?" The patrolman was puzzled. "He came to my house while I was resting. I don't know what he did. I couldn't sleep, so I had to get up to check." Li Qingshan sighed. The patrolman looked at the dark circles under his eyes, looked at his strange clothes, nodded and said, "Okay, we will take this man away. At least tonight, he won't come back to disturb your rest." "Thank you, goodbye, I'm going back." Li Qingchuan nodded. At dawn the next day, he heard the commotion outside. He couldn't sleep for a while, so he got up and opened the door to look out. When the people outside saw him open the door, they came over to greet him. First, it was Aunt Miao from the neighbor's house: "Young man, I heard that you caught a man last night. Was he a thief or a robber? You are amazing. You can catch one by yourself. Are you not hurt? What does that man look like? Tell us, did you see him?" Aunt Miao said while eating melon seeds, leaning against the door, smiling at Li Qingshan, her cheeks were big and round, with two red spots on them. "I don't know." Li Qingshan shook his head and hid back. Aunt Miao laughed outside: "This young man is still shy. He was able to catch a man by himself last night, but he hid in the house at dawn. It's really interesting!"
The other neighbors around him laughed along.
The system reminded him, "The attention has increased."
"I see."
Li Qingshan replied.
The rented house was big enough, so he could walk around inside, and he could also exchange his attention for the food and clothes he needed, as well as some daily necessities.
Li Qingshan first exchanged some food and fed it to the small fish still in the water, and then changed his clothes. The new clothes were the same type as the clothes of the people around him.
So after putting on the new clothes, Li Qingshan didn't look like someone who came from far away.
After doing these things, Li Qingshan felt very tired and asked the system, "Where is Taylor?"
"You have to find it yourself."
The system replied.
"Can attention be exchanged for this information?"
Li Qingshan asked.
"Yes, but your current attention is not enough. If you use all your attention to exchange for information, you will not be able to live here easily. I advise you not to do that."
The system replied.
"That's right. Even if I get the news, I still have to find someone. If I can find someone, it's fine. If I can't find someone, I don't know how long it will take. It's really not sensible to use up all your savings at once."
Li Qingshan nodded.
"You don't have to worry about the time here. Because you used the telescope, you are now back to the past. No matter how long you have been here, it will only take a moment to go back."
The system said.
"You mean, I don't have to worry about the time consumption. Even if I stay here for many years, it will only take a moment to go back there after many years, right?"
Li Qingshan asked with energy.
"Yes."
The system replied.
"It seems that I don't have any worries."
Li Qingshan was happy.
He lay back on the bed and said, "I didn't sleep well last night because of that person. I'm going to sleep again now. Let's talk about other things later. Anyway, I have a lot of time to use."
Li Qingshan closed his eyes and fell asleep gradually.
He had a dream.
In the dream, a person dressed in golden clothes came to him and said, "You saved my life, I want to repay you, so I decided to marry you."
Li Qingshan was startled and woke up suddenly.
He stood up from the bed and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He realized that he was just dreaming, breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay, nothing happened."
A golden light suddenly flashed from the side.
Li Qingshan squinted his eyes and blocked it with his hand.
Then the light over there became weaker.
Li Qingshan put down his hand and looked over.
The bowl that originally held a small yellow croaker with golden color was now empty.
In front of the table with the bowl, there was an extra person.
The person was wearing a golden robe, standing in front of Li Qingshan, and said to him respectfully: "Little demon has seen your benefactor."
Li Qingshan almost lay back down at that moment.
"If your benefactor is not feeling well, I know a little bit about medicine, and I can diagnose your pulse for you."
The person said seriously and with a caring look on his face.
"What's your name?"
Li Qingshan took a deep breath and asked.
"My name is Jinse,"
the person said.
"You said I'm your benefactor, how come I don't know?"
Li Qingshan frowned.
"You bought me from the peddler that day, which was a favor to me. If it weren't for you, I would have been someone else's meal now. To show my gratitude, I would like to invite your benefactor to stay at my home for a while."
Jinse said with a smile.
"Where is your home?"
Li Qingshan asked.
"To be honest, my home is not far away."
Jinse replied.
Li Qingshan thought: This place is not very safe, and I need to find someone. It will be convenient to have a local to lead me.
He smiled and said, "In this case, it is better to obey than to be respectful."
"Okay, please follow me."
Jinse nodded, smiling.
He took Li Qingshan to a huge palace.
"This is my home."
Jinse said to Li Qingshan with a bit of pride and reserve, puffing out his chest as if waiting for a compliment.
"Your home is so big?"
Li Qingshan was surprised and suspicious.
"This place is under my jurisdiction, so my residence is a little bigger."
Jinse replied.
"I see."
Li Qingshan nodded.
"I see you are dressed strangely, you must have come from a long way. I wonder what you are doing here? Maybe I can help."
Jinse hesitated and asked curiously.
"I came here to find a man who is very tall, white-faced and beardless, young, and knows how to use fire."
Li Qingshan said.
"I will definitely help."
Jinse said.
