In the next two days, Qin Zhao was rarely able to rest at home.

But he was not idle either. In the afternoon of that day, Qin Zhao was sitting at his desk with his pen in hand, not writing, but drawing on rice paper.

Jing Li stuck his head out to look at him.

Qin Zhao wrote smoothly, writing and drawing. Jing Li could not see anything at first, but gradually, a rough sketch of a courtyard appeared on the drawing paper.

Jing Li: "..."

What else can this person not know???

Farmhouses usually have a low fence around the perimeter of the yard. The disadvantage is that it is not airtight, and others can see what is going on in the yard from the outside. But if you build a brick and stone fence like the Chen family did, the price will increase many times.

Qin Zhao took a compromise approach.

Walking upstream along the stream outside Linxi Village, there is a green bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. Qin Zhao plans to hire someone to pick some bamboo. The bamboo is tall and can be used as a wall around the courtyard.

Beautiful and practical.

After the airtightness is solved, there are two cabins, one as a bedroom and one as a kitchen.

Farmers hire people to repair the houses in the village, but before repairing, they need to pay for the land based on the area covered. Qin Zhao lives alone, so there is no need to build a big yard, but he still reserves enough for further use.

The location for building a house.

Money is tight now, and I may not be able to build another study if conditions are better in the future.

Finally, there is a pond built for the little koi.

Since it is going to be done, Qin Zhao does not plan to make it too crude. At least it must be large in area, the bottom must be deep, and there must be running water. Digging a pool is not difficult. The difficult thing is how to divert the running water that is not polluted, and how to let the water flow out of the yard.

flow out.

The most indispensable thing in Linxi Village is water. The only remaining problems are site selection and underground ditch design for water diversion.

Qin Zhao completed the sketch of the pool. Seeing that the little koi was looking at it attentively, he asked: "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Jing Li was stunned, and Ting Yan quickly wagged his tail at him.

But Qin Zhao still seemed dissatisfied. He looked at it for a moment and revised a few things.

Hey, why should we change this place? He likes it very much!

The little koi carp slapped the wall of the barrel in protest.

Qin Zhao explained: "After simplifying it this way, less materials will be used."

Now these are just preliminary layouts and designs. To achieve his expectations, a lot of money will be needed.

Dr. Ge had previously roughly revealed to Qin Zhao the prices offered by several medical clinics in the town. Most of them were about the same, and there was probably little room for increase. If this was done, all the money earned from selling Wushan ginseng would probably be spent.

Light.

Qin Zhao didn't want to spend all his savings on building a house.

Jing Liming understood what he meant and felt a little disappointed.

There is no way, Qin Zhao can do well everywhere, but he is a pauper.

What a pity.

The sky was gloomy outside, and the breeze made the windows creak.

Qin Zhao opened the window and looked at the sky outside, his eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently. Then he put away the drawings and took out his coat from the closet.

Is he going out?

Jing Li looked at him in the water.

As soon as Qin Zhao got dressed, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

It's Dr. Ge.

Doctor Ge walked into the room with a smile on his face: "It's done, the next home has been decided!"

Qin Zhao welcomed the man in and poured him a glass of water.

Doctor Ge didn't care about drinking water at all, and said with joy: "Didn't I tell you before that the prices offered by several medical clinics in the town are mostly the same? Guess what? This morning, a big family in the town suddenly came to the door and agreed.

Increase the price of each Wushan ginseng plant by 400 Wen!"

The original estimated price was about 1,600 Wen per plant. After the price was increased by 400 Wen, it would be 2,000 Wen.

Even Qin Zhao couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Two thousand coins, this is the price you can get if you send it to a big city to sell it.

Doctor Ge was very excited and said: "They will send people to collect the medicine the day after tomorrow. Qin Zhao, you have to go and collect the herbs quickly."

Qin Zhaodao: "I was just about to go out to collect medicine."

"Yes, we should collect it quickly." Doctor Ge said, "There is a lot of rain around the Qingming Festival, so it is not suitable to go up the mountain. The medicine is very valuable. If it is exposed to wind and rain for a few days, it will probably lose half of it."

"I see."

After seeing Doctor Ge off, Qin Zhao said to the little koi: "Have you heard it? I'm going to go up the mountain to collect the medicine now, so wait for me at home."

The little koi fish wagged its tail obediently.

Qin Zhao thought for a while, then took out two egg pancakes from the stove, put them on a plate and brought them to the table: "If you are hungry, eat something by yourself."

Small fish and even chicken legs can be stolen and eaten, so eating some cakes yourself will definitely not be a problem.

Jing Li's eyes lit up when he saw the food, and Qin Zhao hit him on the head: "But don't eat too much, or you may burst yourself."

Know it!

Jing Li gently bit his finger.

Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to look at him. One person and one fish looked at each other for a moment. The little koi that had retreated timidly swam up and rubbed its fins against the place where he was bitten.

Qin Zhao couldn't help laughing.

"I happen to be going to town to buy medicine tomorrow. I'll buy some meat and make braised pork for you."

Jing Li swallowed his saliva greedily and kept wagging his tail in the water.

There was no sunshine today and the sky would get darker earlier than usual. Qin Zhao didn't waste any more time and quickly packed up his backpack and left.

Jing Li quietly listened to the sound of footsteps disappearing, then jumped out of the water with a splash.

Three days have passed since the last time he transformed into a human. During these few days, Jing Li's body occasionally experienced the same hot and burning feeling that he had the day before when he transformed into a human.

But since Qin Zhao had been staying with him these past few days, every time he felt that way, he hid in the water and suppressed it.

He always felt that that feeling had something to do with becoming a human being.

It's a pity that Qin Zhao has been staying with him these days, so he has no chance to try.

I finally got the chance today.

Jing Li lay on the table and waited quietly for a moment.

But the hot feeling never appeared.

Change quickly.

Jing Li patted the tail and fins, and even jumped on the ground for a while, but there was still no response.

"Gulu~"

The little koi fish paused and turned its attention to the plate of egg pancakes on the table.

Benqi is hungry.

After a while, the little koi lay on its back on the water, its fins gently flapping on its swollen belly, and it let out a small burp.

Qin Zhao was used to it these days, and he felt sleepy every time he was full.

Jing Li lay on the water and fell asleep, and his body began to heat up unconsciously.

He woke up instantly and turned over in the water.

This time the feeling was clearer, as if a warm current emerged from his body and flowed through every part of his body. The temperature gradually increased and spread, and every fish scale began to glow with red light.

The light gradually became dazzling. Jing Li felt something and jumped out of the water with force and fell to the ground.

The moment he landed, the light suddenly faded.

A young man was sitting on his knees on the ground, looking a little confused.

Jing Li took the lead in looking down at his lower body.

This time, the body below the waist is no longer a fish tail, but has smoothly turned into legs. The legs are slender and well-proportioned, with extremely white skin color, and some bright red fish scales attached to the texture. They are still wet, crystal clear, and almost transparent.

Jing Li moved his round toes and was not happy. He instantly realized something.

He quickly raised his hand and touched his face.

The nose and eyes are all there, it's a normal human face.

……fortunately.

Jing Li breathed a sigh of relief.
