From eunuch to emperor

Shantou Village is a fishing village.

There is a big mountain in the west and a large lake with a radius of hundreds of miles in the east.

The lake is very rich in aquatic products, and fishermen gather here to form a fishing village.

There are many precious aquatic products in Shantou Village, the best of which is the jade crystal fish.

The whole body of this fish is like crystal, and the most unique thing is the fish bone.

The fish bones of jade crystal fish are warm and moist like jade, and can be used as medicine to detoxify all kinds of poisons.

Because jade crystal fish is precious, fishermen all want to catch it, resulting in fewer and fewer jade crystal fish.

The world has no concept of protecting rare animals, nor does it know that overfishing is harmful.

A middle-aged man was leading a donkey, on which sat a little girl with a pale face.

The middle-aged man was wearing a shabby bamboo hat, rag clothes, and shabby shoes.

The man walked to the entrance of the village and looked up at the business travelers coming and going.

Because the aquatic products in the lake in Shantou Village are precious, many people come here to buy aquatic products.

In ancient times, there was no way to preserve freshness, and it was usually sold as dried fish.

Entering the village, a fishy smell came to my nostrils.

"Fire scale fish, fire scale fish..."

"White turtle, white turtle, take a look, the shell of the white turtle..."

"Lake shrimp, lake shrimp..."

There are fishermen and traders in the fishing village.

Vendors are yelling and selling on both sides of the street, and foreign merchants keep coming to inquire about buying, and the village is very lively.

The dots of fishing boats on the lake are fishing, the setting sun falls on the water, and the water birds fly across the sky, which looks very picturesque.

"Sunset clouds and lone ducks fly together, and the autumn waters are the same color as the sky..."

Long Chen was a little dazed, and suddenly felt back to the bank of Poyang Lake.

"Daddy, are you enjoying poetry again?"

Ya'er coughed twice on the donkey's back.

When they arrived at Shantou Village, Long Chen disguised himself as a middle-aged man, and Ya'er became Long Chen's daughter, a sick daughter.

"Just recite a sentence casually."

"Let's go, help you find medicine."

Long Chen led the donkey to an ordinary inn.

Xiaoer saw Long Chen, glanced at Ya'er again, and asked casually: "Is the guest staying at the hotel?"

Long Chen said: "Little brother, please give me a cheap guest room."

Long Chen helped Ya'er down, Ya'er coughed twice, his pale face turned red.

Xiaoer glanced at Ya'er and asked, "Is the guest here to look for Yujingyu?"

Yujing fish detoxifies all kinds of poisons, and is also effective for the weak and intractable diseases.

Therefore, many people with diseases that cannot be cured will go to Shantou Village to look for jade crystal fish.

Long Chen immediately asked: "Does my second brother know where I can buy it?"

Xiao Er said helplessly: "Guest, let's not hide it from you, it is God's luck to see a jade crystal fish here every year."

"The price of jade crystal fish is higher than gold. Even if someone catches it, you can't buy it."

"Hey... this girl is quite handsome, what a pity."

Seeing that Ya'er's face was so pale, the second child probably couldn't be saved.

He wanted to persuade Long Chen to forget about it, not to end up with nothing in the end.

But the words couldn't come out again.

"But the little girl's illness..."

A trace of helplessness flashed in Long Chen's eyes.

Xiao Er stopped persuading and said, "Guests come with me, and I'll arrange a cheap room for you."

"This jade crystal fish may not be available when, and you don't know how long you will live here."

"I have a suggestion for the guests, if you have to wait for the jade crystal fish, you can find a guy in the village to do it."

"It also saves customers from sitting and eating. The small shop is also open for business. If the customers can't afford the room and food, we can't keep you."

This Xiao Er is quite kind-hearted.

Xiaoer took Long Chen to a small room, next to the woodshed.

"The room is a bit smaller, but also cheap, one penny a day."

There is only one bed, one quilt, and two pillows in the room.

Not even a table or bench.

Really crude enough.

"Thank you, little brother."

Long Chen quickly thanked him.

Xiao Er waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, I also work, this room is not good, the rent is settled every day, it's not hard for you."

Long Chen quickly and carefully took out a penny from his body, and handed it to Xiaoer: "Thank you."

Xiaoer took the money, looked at Ya'er again, shook his head and sighed, "I've seen several people like you."

After speaking, Xiao Er left.

After closing the door, Ya'er said disgustedly: "This is too simple, how can I sleep."

Long Chen said with a smile: "We are here to kill, not to enjoy."

Ya'er curled her lips and said, "Who asked you to pretend to be a patient? If you pretend to be a businessman, we can stay in a good hotel."

Long Chen said: "It's time for them to arrive, let's go for a walk."

Long Chen put the burden on the bed, and took the dagger and crossbow with him.

Ya'er hid a few bottles of poison and followed Long Chen out.

On the street, Long Chen took Ya'er and pretended to ask about the whereabouts of Yu Jingyu.

The reply I got was the same as that of Xiaoer, who said it depends on fate.

"This jade crystal fish is so precious, I've only heard of it before."

"Did you know that the elixir I refined for you back then contained jade crystal fish?"

"No wonder the lady got angry and called me a prodigal."

Back then, Long Chen was attacked by Ji Ba and was seriously injured. Ji Xianxian refined Bingqing Pill, among which was Yujingyu.

Long Chen chuckled softly: "Don't you just want money."

Ya'er said contemptuously: "You know I voted for nothing."

Long Chen made a wretched wink, and Ya'er whispered: "Wretched, shameless!"

After turning around, everyone said that jade crystal fish is hard to find, it depends on luck.

Long Chen took Ya'er to find a stall to sit down and eat noodles.

"Boss, I want a red fish."

Shantou Village is rich in aquatic products, and there are many delicious fish.

Ya'er is greedy and wants to try the delicious red fish.

The stall owner was stunned and asked, "Do you want to eat red fish?"

Long Chen immediately said: "Just some red fish soup."

The boss smiled and said, "I'll just say, you still eat red fish like this."

"Little girl, a red fish and a tael of gold are expensive."

"Besides, I can't afford to sell it at this small stall."

Long Chen said with a smile: "I'm kidding, the girl is greedy, just two bowls of noodles will do."

The boss brought over two bowls of noodles, and Ya'er ate listlessly.

Long Chen said in a low voice: "When things are done, you can eat whatever you want."

Aggrieved, Ya'er teased the noodles with chopsticks, and stopped eating after only one bite.

I am used to eating delicious delicacies in Wangqing Pavilion, and following Long Chen for the past two days is enough.

Ya'er dislikes the bad taste of the noodles, but the business of the stall is very good.

Because in addition to being rich in aquatic products, Shantou Village is also a transit point for entering Nanliang from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Many people settle down here, and when they are full, they can take a boat at the mouth of the lake, and then they can follow a big river to the south and enter the big river.

Then go down the river and drift to Jinling.

"They have such a good appetite, they can eat all of this."

Ya'er muttered, two chopsticks rolled up Slim like a knitted sweater.

In front, two men dressed as merchants approached from a distance.

One is slightly fat, and the other looks frail and old-fashioned.

Long Chen tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Is it those two?"

Ya'er put down the chopsticks she was playing with, turned her head to take a look, then turned her head quickly, and concentrated on fiddling with the noodles.

"It's them."

Ya'er coughed slightly.
