"Don't move." Qin Zhao held Jing Li's body with two fingers, "You are still injured."
Jing Li had long forgotten that he was still injured.
The water flow will reduce the pain of the injury. In addition, the part where the scales were cut off is on the flank, so it will not be touched by the fins or the tail, so the fish will not feel any pain.
Seeing the silly look of the little fish in his hand, Qin Zhao knew that he had forgotten that he was injured.
He lowered his eyes and gently rubbed the injured area with his fingertips. Where the bright red scales had once been attached, a few scales had fallen off, revealing a soft, pale pink texture.
It hurts, it hurts——!
Jing Li's tail tip trembled in pain, and his body kept twisting under Qin Zhao's fingertips.
There was no systematic fish farming in this era, and most people focused on fishing. No one would heal injured fish, especially in this remote mountain village where they lived.
Even if I want to treat it, there is no medicine to be found.
Fortunately, fish have strong self-healing abilities, and the wound on the little koi was not deep and there was no bleeding. It will be fine once the scales grow back.
After Qin Zhao checked the little koi's injuries, he put him back into the water.
Jing Li twisted his tail and hid at the bottom of the barrel.
Why does this person always bully fish!
"Are you ignoring me?" Qin Zhao knocked his knuckles on the edge of the wooden barrel and said slowly, "Do you know why I didn't let you go? I'm a stingy person. I spent fifteen cents to buy you back today. If you don't pay me back, I won't let you go."
"Xiao Yu'er, you should think carefully about how to compensate me."
Jing Li floated up quietly.
Qin Zhao had saved his life, so he naturally wanted to repay him. But he was just a fish now, unable to transform into a human, and couldn't even go out and make money.
How can I pay it back...
During the past few days since traveling through time, Jing Li has tried to become a human, but he has never succeeded.
It seems that apart from possessing a human soul and memory, he is no different from the ordinary fish that can be found everywhere in the world.
Jing Li felt very desperate.
The little koi fish was worried in the water. Qin Zhao poked his head again: "Actually, I have an idea."
Jing Li raised his head.
What idea?
The man looked upright and serious, and said slowly, "Why don't you wait until I raise you and give birth to some fish to repay me? You... should be a female fish, right?"
As he spoke, his fingers pointedly reached towards Jing Li's lower abdomen.
!!!
Where is this person touching!!!
And he is a boy, he can't give birth to fish!
Jing Li was angry and annoyed, and bit the other person's finger.
But the little koi has only a row of small teeth in its mouth, which does not hurt when bitten and has no deterrent effect at all.
Qin Zhao burst out laughing.
Jing Li: “…”
He actually teased him again. How boring is this guy?
Qin Zhao wanted to tease him some more, but at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Collecting medicine, is anyone home?"
Qin Zhao suppressed his smile and turned to open the door.
A young man in his teens stood at the door with a backpack on his back. He bowed and greeted Qin Zhao, "Mr. Qin, my master asked me to come and collect the medicine."
The young man's name is Awen. He is an apprentice of the only mountain doctor in the nearby village. He collects medicine regularly from several nearby villages every half month.
These villages rely on the mountains for their livelihood, and the mountains are rich in medicinal herbs. When there is no farm work, the villagers often go up the mountains to collect herbs.
In fact, if you have the means, you can sell it in town on an oxcart like Lin Laoer did, and the price will be higher. However, the medicine shops in town use a large amount of medicine and have extremely high requirements for the quality of the medicinal materials, so they rarely accept unprocessed loose medicine from farmers.
