Chapter 120: Selling Fish
Qu Chunfeng did not tell Mingxuan and the others that mermaid blood can cure hundreds of poisons, some things should not be known to too many people, otherwise it would be like the illusory theory of longevity, which would lead to killing and competition. He only said that Linyuan had found a medicinal herb from the other side of the sea, which could relieve the poison on their bodies.
Mingxuan was both happy and uneasy about this, "Brother, can this medicine really detoxify?"
Qu Chunfeng grabbed a handful of medicinal materials and threw them into the jar, then patted the powdered medicine in his palm, "Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. This is the current situation. No matter how bad it is, how bad it can be."
When he was decocting the medicine, he didn't let them watch, and sent out those juniors, half of them were catching fish, half of them were rowing out to sea, to see what the state of Chu was like now.
Seeing that Qu Chunfeng had boiled the medicine, Lin Yuan's sharp nails were about to slash towards his wrist, but he was suddenly stopped in mid-air. He raised his eyes, and leaned over to Qu Chunfeng's hesitant expression. Baji kissed him, then shook the tip of his tail.
Seeing this, Qu Chunfeng unconsciously let go of his hand, as if he felt that the nails were too sharp to carve out flesh, he drew out the long sword beside him, and pressed the cold edge of the sword against Lin Yuan's pale and blue wrist, Then it moved up slowly and landed on his index finger——
The three-foot-long Qingfeng sword slashed across the flesh without a sound, leaving only a tiny wound, which was small and shallow. Only a drop of dark red blood fell down, and it froze by itself.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan felt that Qu Chunfeng's brain was not working properly for the first time. The blood flowing out of such a shallow wound was only enough to feed ants. Thick blood dripped into the medicine tank, flowing slowly.
Seeing this, Qu Chunfeng's pupils shrank, and his heart twitched inexplicably. He instinctively held Lin Yuan's wrist, frowned and said, "It's too deep."
Lin Yuan "is not deep."
The mermaid's physique is very special, too much blood can't bleed from a wound that is too shallow, Lin Yuan seemed to feel that the blood was dripping too slowly, so he slashed his wrist again regardless of Qu Chunfeng's obstruction. Only barely enough.
He withdrew his hand and licked his wound like a small animal. Ye Yeyan's lips turned slightly white in the past, and his tail was listless. Lin Yuan leaned against Qu Chunfeng's arms, closed his eyes and rubbed against his shoulder; "Here Let them drink."
He seemed extremely tired, and he didn't move after saying this.
It was the first time that Qu Chunfeng felt that he was despicable. He put aside the blood-stained sword, then tore the hem of his robe, and silently sprinkled the golden sore medicine on the wound that had begun to solidify in Linyuan. Bandage well. After finishing all this, he touched the side of Lin Yuan's face with the back of his hand, only to feel that the temperature was cooler than usual.
Although Qu Chunfeng didn't know how strong the Sharkman's body was, he could tell that too much blood loss must be exhausting. He took off his outer shirt and put it on Linyuan, unconsciously hugging him tightly, and asked him in a low voice, " Where is the discomfort?"
For the first time in his life, his tone was unreasonably gentle.
Lin Yuan struggled to open his eyes when he heard the words, and then closed them again. After thinking for a moment, he put his tail on Qu Chunfeng's lap, and said pitifully, "It's hard."
To touch.
Qu Chunfeng stroked his dark blue long hair, he really didn't know how to relieve his pain, avoided the harsh sun, and carried him from the shore to the shade of the trees.
Lin Yuan held on to his sleeves tightly, couldn't open his long and narrow eyes, and looked sickly, "Don't go."
Qu Chunfeng let him hold it, and said in a low voice, "I won't go."
Lin Yuan seemed relieved after hearing this, and fell asleep on his lap, curled up habitually as before, obediently hugging her own tail.
Qu Chunfeng has thought about it countless times, why there is such a mermaid in the world, and every move can affect his thoughts. Feelings like never before.
Linyuan...
Qu Chunfeng chewed these two words carefully in his heart, turned them over and over on the tip of his tongue, read them back and forth a few times, and finally lowered his eyes, thinking about something, and hugged the shark in his arms tighter.
Mingxuan and others saw this scene when they came back by boat. Qu Chunfeng valued etiquette, even if he was close to Linyuan in the past, he would not be too blatant, but now he hugs and hugs in public, which is really different from his previous style.
Mingxuan stepped forward hesitantly, "Brother..."
Qu Chunfeng raised his eyes to signal him to keep quiet, glanced at the medicine in the crock beside him, and asked them to take it out and share it among themselves. Mingxuan saw that Lin Yuan seemed to be asleep, so he nodded without thinking much, and walked lightly. The medicine was taken away.
It wasn't until late at night that Lin Yuan finally woke up. He still seemed to have no strength. He moved his tail and wanted to get up from the ground, but Qu Chunfeng held his shoulders, "Your injury is not healed yet, so don't move around."
Lin Yuan lazily leaned on his knees, rubbed against him lightly, a strand of hair fell on his shoulders, against his pale and bluish skin, it was a little more charming for no reason, and said weakly, "Hungry..."
The injury hadn't healed, so how could he go into the sea.
Qu Chunfeng heard the words and put him aside, looked at the calm sea under the night, and took the sword beside him, "Wait for me to come back."
Although Qu Chunfeng doesn't know how to swim, shallow water is not a problem. He rolled up his oversized sleeves, tucked his hem into his waist, and walked into the sea. It's night, and many crabs and fish will swim when the tide is high. Swimming out, he had excellent hearing, although he couldn't see clearly through the dark sea, he could hear a little bit of tricks just by the movement.
"Shua!"
Qu Chunfeng heard movement by his side, the long sword plunged into the water like lightning, and when he lifted it up again, there was already a struggling fish pierced through it. catch
next.
It was the first time for Mingxuan to see Qu Chunfeng catching fish, and he followed into the sea after seeing it, "Brother, I will help you."
Qu Chunfeng didn't look at him, but just stared at the sea surface "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Then Mingxuan said in a low voice, "Eldest brother, Mingyi and I disguised ourselves as ordinary people and went out to inquire about the news today, the state of Chu..."
He paused before saying, "Chu is already dead..."
Although Emperor Zhaoning was fatuous, they were also from Chu State after all, and it was inevitable that they felt sorry for them when they fell into this situation.
Ming Xuan said, "Not long after we entered the island, the army from the North invaded the capital all the way, changed the name of the country to Zhou, and the local officials in Quanzhou also replaced people. In order to recuperate, now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are all very well."
all good...
These four words are already considered a luxury in a war-torn world.
Qu Chunfeng stabbed another fish, and he wrapped it in the hem of his clothes. Thinking of Hong Guanwei's hexagrams, he sighed suddenly, "Chu's life is exhausted, and there will be a wise king in the north. It's fate."
Mingxuan looked at him, "Brother, what shall we do next?"
It's not an option to stay on the island all the time.
Qu Chunfeng had already planned in his heart, turned around and walked towards the shore, "Now is not the time, after a while, we will go back to the shore, and I will tell you at that time."
Mingxuan looked at his back, and asked hesitantly, "Senior brother, do you still want to be an official?"
Now that the new king has just been established, it is time to employ people. Tian Yimen and others are proficient in the art of geomancy and numerology. If they want to become officials, it is not difficult to say.
Qu Chunfeng paused when he heard this, and turned to look at him, "You want me to be an official?"
Unexpectedly, Mingxuan shook his head, "Brother, I'm afraid that you will become an official."
The most ruthless emperor's family, no matter how wise the king and ministers are, there is inevitably suspicion and suspicion. Being an official may be a moment of glory, but who knows what kind of life is like walking on thin ice. Now that they have managed to escape from the fire pit, why jump into it? What's more, he still has the identity of a former minister.
Mingxuan would rather be an ordinary fortune teller in this small place, and never go back, but he doesn't know what Qu Chunfeng thinks.
Hong Guanwei is dead, and the head of Tianyi Sect is Qu Chunfeng. It stands to reason that they all have to listen to the head's orders. Besides, the relationship that grew up together is not something that can be said and separated in a few words. It's okay to be the same, but it would be embarrassing if they were different.
Qu Chunfeng didn't speak, and after a while, he smiled, "Senior brother knows."
After he finished speaking, he patted Mingxuan on the shoulder, and then walked towards the shore, step by step, with a clear and definite direction.
Qu Chunfeng cleaned up the fish, and then put it into a pot to boil. After a short while, the soup turned milky white. He poured out a bowl, and after it cooled down, he fed it to Lin in a clumsy manner. Yuan drink.
Although restricted on the island, there are no delicacies from mountains and seas, but they are delicious enough, and even if they don't taste good, Lin Yuan won't dislike what Qu Chunfeng cooks, and eats them all.
Lin Yuan licked the corner of his lips, then looked at Qu Chunfeng without saying a word, with a lock of hair wrapped around his fingertips, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "It's the first time you catch fish for me to eat."
Qu Chunfeng's memory is not very clear, but since Linyuan said so, it might be the first time, he paused, then hesitated and said, "Then... I'll catch you later."
Lin Yuan originally felt that it was a bad thing to lose so much blood. If it wasn't for Qu Chunfeng, he would most likely not be nosy, but now he suddenly felt that being ill was a good thing, and he had some cheerful emotions. Wagging his tail, "When I'm done, I'll pick some fruit for you."
He knows how to reciprocate courtesy.
Qu Chunfeng smiled again, he raised his hand, and pointed to Linyuan in the vast night, "When you are well, we will go back to the shore."
Lin Yuan paused when he heard the words, thinking that they are human beings, so naturally it is impossible to live on the island every day, just like the mermaids cannot live on land, he was a little disappointed, and whispered, "Then don't go far... ..."
If he went far, he couldn't find it.
"Not far," Qu Chunfeng pointed in the direction of the fishing house he lived in before, and said far away, "When I get back to the shore, I will build a few houses there and live there."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Do you want to be a fisherman?"
Hearing his question, Qu Chunfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, then leaned his back under the tree, took Lin Yuan into his arms, looked at the sky full of stars, closed his eyes to suppress the smile in his eyes, and felt Open-minded "Okay, you catch fish, I sell fish."
Lin Yuan stared at him blankly, "What about your junior brother?"
"They?" Qu Chunfeng thought for a while, "They might go to the market to tell their fortunes."
When he went to the market last time, they took over all the fortune-telling stalls on the four streets in the south, east, and west. , please keep in mind:,
