Jing Li is terribly worried now.

Qin Zhao's analysis is correct. Since the foreign official is willing to spend thousands of dollars to find him, it means that he should be able to bring good luck to people.

But……

He really didn't know what to do.

In his mind, he was obviously just an unlucky guy. He had been with Qin Zhao for more than a month, and he had not brought any luck to him at all.

Qin Zhao now wants him to prove, what should he do?

The little koi fish spit out a string of bubbles in the water.

"Eat quickly, why are you still dazed?" Qin Zhao pushed the steamed bun floating in the water in front of the little koi. The latter was in a daze for a while, then slowly swam up to eat it.

There is definitely no worse person than Qin Zhao in this world.

He was asked to find a way to prove that he was a koi, and then he agreed not to send him to exchange money, but he refused to tell him what to do.

The euphemistic name is, koi carps bring blessings to the world. How can such a trivial matter require the help of mere mortals like him?

...Obviously this guy has never believed in ghosts and gods.

The little koi was so worried that he couldn't even eat. It was Qin Zhao who coaxed him with gentle words for a long time before he could finish his meal.

After eating, he refused to let Qin Zhao touch his belly and hid under the barrel to "face the wall".

I don’t know who owes whom.

Qin Zhao stood up to put away the dishes and sighed silently.

What he said to Xiaoyu last night was because he saw that this little guy looked particularly cute and wanted to tease him again. It would be better if he could take the opportunity to force him to tell the truth and meet him in human form.

But who knows, the little monster didn't seem to understand what he meant at all.

This silly fish.

Jing Li had not been autistic for long when someone came to the house.

He was about to see who it was, but Qin Zhao casually took a wooden lid, covered the barrel firmly, and moved the barrel and lid to the low cabinet next to him.

Jing Li: "???"

"Don't move." Hearing the little koi inside patting its tail in displeasure, Qin Zhao lowered his voice and said, "You can't be seen now. Be careful someone comes to catch you."

Jing Li was most afraid of this now and stopped moving immediately.

Qin Zhao then went to open the door.

The visitor looked to be in his early thirties. He was also a villager in Linxi Village. His surname seemed to be Li, but he had little contact with Qin Zhao on weekdays.

Qin Zhao wasn't even sure what his name was.

The other party didn't enter the house, so he just said: "Qin Zhao, I just came back from the town. Do you know that everyone in the town is catching fish?"

Qin Zhao: "..."

Did the news spread so quickly?

Qin Zhao said calmly: "Really? I don't know."

"I knew you hadn't gotten the news yet!" the neighbor chattered. "I heard from people in the town that someone was offering a reward of one thousand taels for a red carp! I couldn't understand the notice, but the picture on the notice and

The carp next to you is exactly the same."

"Where is your fish? Take it out and let me take a look at it for you?"

As he spoke, he looked into the house.

Qin Zhao calmly blocked him and said quietly: "You mean that fish? I have already released it."

"Release? That would be a pity. What if it is the one for whom the reward is being offered?"

"I bought that fish from the market not long ago, and it only cost a few copper coins. How could it be worth thousands of gold?" Qin Zhao said in a leisurely tone, "Thank you for giving me this news, but do you want to go in for a drink of water?

"

When the neighbor heard what he said, he immediately lost interest and left angrily on the excuse that he had something to do at home.

Qin Zhao closed the door and sighed silently.

The fear is still here.

Qin Zhao had never thought that the little fish had such a life experience before, and never minded it showing up in front of others, so many people in Linxi Village had seen such a little fish next to him.

The villagers of Linxi Village also like to go to the town market to do business. Now that the news has spread to the village, there will definitely be many good people like this.

It's okay to just come here to remind him kindly, but I'm afraid there are people with evil intentions among them who are trying to prey on Xiaoyu.

What to do next is indeed a troublesome matter.

Qin Zhao was rarely able to make up his mind.

He opened the lid of the barrel, and the little fish in the barrel looked at him cautiously.

He seems to have caused a lot of trouble for Qin Zhao...

When Qin Zhao saw him like this, he softened his heart and tapped the other person's head with his finger: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you be sent away."

The little koi fish swam up and kissed his fingertips.

If he can really bring good luck to people, then find a way to solve this problem for Qin Zhao.

He didn't want to be sent away, nor did he want Qin Zhao to be disturbed every day.

Jing Li thought silently in his heart.

But Jing Li's prayers were of no use at all. In this short period of time, the small house received no less than four or five groups of people.

All have the same purpose.

Jing Li: "..."

He is indeed not a koi!

Qin Zhao took the trouble to send away the last group of people and closed the door, feeling quite helpless.

It's not okay to continue like this, we have to find a way.

Linxi Village does not make a living from fishing. Even if this news spreads, probably only a few people will join in the fun. After a few days, no one will care about it.

If there was a way for him to leave Linxi Village for a while and avoid the limelight...

Just as Qin Zhao was thinking this, someone knocked on the door again.

Qin Zhao opened the door.

This is Lin Changzhong.

Qin Zhao instinctively thought that this man also came to him to ask about the koi fish, and he almost blurted out "That fish has been released", but Lin Changzhong said: "I came to you to talk about building materials."

He contracted the job of helping Qin Zhao build a house. It has been a few days since then, and it is indeed time for him to reply.

Qin Zhao felt relieved, welcomed the man in, and poured him a bowl of water.

"I have asked in several nearby villages in the past few days, but they can't harvest bamboo at this time." Lin Changzhong took a sip of water and said, "You asked too late. If it had been last month, I'm afraid there would still be some."

.”

He paused and asked again: "I came here just to discuss it with you. How about changing the material?"

Qin Zhao did not answer.

Bamboo fences were his first choice. Bamboo is cheap, insect-proof, and not afraid of water. It is the most economical and affordable method since bricks and tiles cannot be used.

He originally thought that there were bamboo forests in the nearby mountains, so there would be no worries about bamboo production.

Lin Changzhong also knew the situation of his family, and proposed a second plan: "If you really want bamboo, you can only go over another mountain and go to a farther village to ask. But in that case, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back that day.

"

Lin Changzhong had a family waiting for him to support, and he also had other jobs at hand, so he couldn't travel far to buy goods.

Qin Zhao was slightly startled and looked thoughtfully at the small wooden barrel on the low cabinet.

He was just looking for an opportunity to leave the village for a few days, when Lin Changzhong presented him with this opportunity.

Is it the role of koi again?

Qin Zhao withdrew his gaze and said, "Uncle Lin, you might as well tell me the route and I'll go for a run."

"Are you going?" Lin Changzhong was a little worried, "Can your body and bones bear it?"

Qin Zhao: "As long as you are not tired from the journey, it should be fine."

His attitude was resolute, and there was really no better way to deal with it. Lin Changzhong did not object anymore and said: "Then I'll go talk to the second brother and let him lend you the oxcart for a few days."

The village Lin Changzhong was talking about is called Shanglin Village. To get there from Linxi Village, you have to climb a mountain, and even with an oxcart, you have to walk for most of the day.

"... That's my family over there. Everyone in the village is named Lin. I'm going to write you a letter. When you get to the village, go find a man named Lin Daniu. He will understand when he sees the letter."

Lin Changzhong told Qin Zhao the detailed route to Shanglin Village. The two villages had built a direct road a few years ago, which saved the risk of getting lost.

Qin Zhao thanked him.

It takes several hours to walk from here to Shanglin Village, and we must get on the road as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to arrive before dark. Lin Changzhong did not delay any more and went to talk to Lin Laoer about borrowing the oxcart.

Before going out, he thought of something again and turned around and said, "By the way, that fish of yours..."

Qin Zhao: "..."

After repeating the same rhetoric again, Qin Zhao sent Lin Changzhong away, closed the door, and then went to open the lid of the barrel.

"Did you hear everything?" Qin Zhao said, "We will temporarily leave the village for a few days and come back when the situation calms down."
To be continued...
