Chapter 23 The villain(1/2)
Spread out in a net, and the river fishes were full of leaping in the net, and their scales reflected silver light in the sun.
Grandpa put away the fishing nets with sweat all over his head, and his face showed the joy of harvest.
In the middle of the river, stones stand like a stone, and long-finned fish with sharp teeth swim by each other from time to time. These fish swim in the water at a very fast speed, are extremely powerful, and are extremely fierce. Few people dare to stand in the middle of the river, because once attacked by the long-finned fish, they will end up miserably.
But Shi Tou doesn't care about this.
One of his fingers was stabbed into a small hole, put in the river, and bloodshot was flowing out. A longfin fish smelled the smell of blood and shook its tail and bit it towards the finger.
Not able to bite.
The stone pressed the thumb gently on the head of the longfin fish, and the fierce big fish immediately fainted. Then he didn't even look at it, and threw it back casually, "plop", and the big fish fell on the deck, extremely quiet. Simone hurriedly grabbed the longfin fish and put it into the large water tank on the boat.
After counting, this is the 20th.
"Enough, enough! Brother Shi Tou, come up! Stop catching it!" Simone waved to Shi Tou.
Stone walked back to the boat step by step: "Why? I can... catch more."
"No need." Simone answered very seriously: "We have caught a lot. In the past, we could only get one or two longfin fish a day, but now we can get one or two longfin fish every day, which is enough. Look, now my grandfather has nothing to do and can only play with the little fish by himself."
"But... I can catch more." Shi Tou repeated this sentence with a little dullness.
"I know." Simone touched the stone's face lovingly: "But there is really no need. This river is a reward from the gods, but the rewards are also limited. We cannot fish the fish in the river without restrictions. It will make them extinct and make people who later will never eat fish. This is not good for us or others. Our income is already quite good now. As long as we sell some fish at the market, we can sell it at a good price."
He looked at Simone in confusion, Shi Tou thought about it for a while with some difficulty, and then said, "You... are easy to be content."
"If you don't have the ability to satisfy your desires, then at least you have to learn to control your desires." Simone replied.
"Who said this?" The confusion in Shi Tou's eyes became even heavier.
"It was God who told us." Simone clenched her hands into small fists and placed them in front of her chest, closed her eyes and thanked God.
As time passed, Shi Tou had basically no problem in speaking. However, his memory still had not been restored and his personality was still cold. Perhaps the only exception to Simone, he only talked to Simone, and even his grandfather was unwilling to pay attention to him.
At this moment, he looked at Simone's prayer devoutly, thought for a while, knelt beside Simone, and prayed together.
He looks very pious.
After praying, Simone quickly stood up: "Okay, it's still early now, I'm going to go to the market to sell fish. Brother Shi Tou, stay here, don't go anywhere, wait for me to come back to make fish soup for you."
"I want to go, too."
Simone and grandpa were stunned at the same time.
For the first time, Stone asked to go to the market with Simone.
"You want to go to the market with me?" Simone asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Shi Tou nodded with certainty.
"But there are a lot of people there. Don't you hate talking to others?"
"There are many fish...it's very heavy...I don't want you to be tired." Shi Tou answered seriously in his eyes.
Simone stared at the stone blankly, suddenly threw herself into his arms and hooked his neck.
She kissed him gently on the face.
Grandpa turned his head tactfully, looked at the sky, and entered the cabin with his hands behind his back.
The market is in a small town about three miles away from the river.
Every morning, fishermen by the river, farmers in the village, and some handicraftsmen will sell their goods here and buy their own life needs.
Since the stones helped fish, Simone and his team's harvest has increased significantly and have become the largest supplier of longfin fish in this area.
In the past, Simone would have pushed a water truck with her grandfather to the market. The water truck was rented and she had to pay ten silver wits every day. But today, Shi Tou solved this problem by himself, he directly carried the large water tank containing dozens of longfinned fish on his body, just like a porter who resisted Mount Tai, attracting countless people's attention along the way.
Simone was very pity for Shi Tou, but this guy was extremely powerful and didn't even need to stop and breathe. Simone didn't even have the chance to wipe his sweat.
After arriving at the market, Shi Tou put the water tank on the ground and Simone began to sell it.
"Selling longfin fish! One of the golden wits! Come and take a look, they are all very big, I just caught them today." Simone's voice was very sweet.
Due to its fierce and bloodthirsty, longfin fish is difficult to catch and tastes delicious, and its price in the market has always been expensive. Generally, fishermen can catch one or two goldwitters a day. If some small fish are added, then this day will be a good harvest.
But Simone has been selling 20 pieces every day recently, which has to be said to be a miracle.
What exactly allows a fisherman girl to have such a good harvest?
Due to the hot sales in the market, longfin fish will never worry about sales issues. Some nobles often send representatives to make long-term acquisitions here.
Before Simone's hawking lasted for a long time, a fat noble representative bought all twenty longfin fish in one breath. The twenty Jinweits handed over to Simone, and the fat representative said in particular: "Little girl, you have been amazing recently. You can catch so many every day."
"This is all God's gift." Simone replied with a smile.
"It turns out to be a devout saint, which is very good."
After selling out the big fish, some small fish had to be dealt with. Simone was a little impatient and waited for a long time, so she simply lowered the price and dealt with it all. After getting another golden witt, Simone counted the golden coins, and was no longer happy.
Then she stuffed a handful of Jinweit into the stone: "Help me see them and don't let anyone take them."
The stone was indifferent to this. In fact, from the beginning to the end of the fish sale, he always stood there motionless like a wooden stake. To him, everything except Simone made no sense.
When Simone asked him to pay attention to the money, he grabbed the gold coin very tightly.
"Maybe someone can be an exception." A voice suddenly came.
Not far away were five or six men. One of the leaders was a one-eyed dragon, and he was holding a hell-headed wolf in his hand. This kind of Fiery Wind-headed wolf is a level 6 monster. It has two heads and is a very powerful melee monster. Its appearance is ferocious and fierce, with huge sharp teeth exposed, and mouth fluid flows out from its two big mouths from time to time, and a low roar is made from its throat.
If it weren't for the one-eyed dragon that had been holding it, maybe it would have pounced on it to seek all the humans it could see.
When Simone saw the one-eyed dragon coming, she quickly took a few steps and stopped about five meters away from the hell's two-headed wolf: "It turns out to be Mr. Fae, I'm very happy to see you."
"Good?" One-eyed dragon curled his lips: "No one here is happy to see me, and no one has ever been. If you are really happy to see me, it only means that I am too kind. In fact, I also think I have indeed been a little kind in recent times."
Shi Tou came to Simone: "Who is he?"
"He is a..." While Simone was considering what words to use to describe the man in front of him, the one-eyed dragon had already said: "It's a gangster, a villain, a bastard, a existence that makes everyone curse, a vampire who sucks the blood of these poor guys. Even if you can call me that, the boy who was picked by Simone, I've heard of you, a poor man who has lost his memory. He doesn't even know which woman he fell from. Hahahaha."
Several people around the One-Eyed Dragon laughed out loud at the same time.
Then the one-eyed dragon stretched out his hand: "Get it."
Simone sighed and said to the stone, "Would you please give me fifty silverwitters?"
"Why?" Shi Tou didn't understand. Just now, Simone told herself to take good care of the money.
"He charges the protection fee here, and each stall costs fifty silverwitters a day. If we don't pay it, we won't think of doing business here."
"It's right." One-eyed dragon smiled and said, "But it's no longer fifty silver wits, but ten gold wits."
"What did you say?" Simone shouted in disbelief: "What are you kidding, Master Faye, no one can accept this price!"
"Of course, others can't do it, but you can. You sold twenty longfin fish today, and you got a total of twenty goldwitters." One-eyed dragon screamed excitedly: "When you sold so much on the first day, I didn't say anything. There will always be good luck, and I won't raise the price because of this. But when you sell like this every day, the nature will be different."
One-eyed dragon shook his finger: "The price has changed, the protection fee is ten goldwitters, I know you can afford it."
"Only for me?" Simone asked.
"Of course, who said that only you have such gains? I didn't ask you for the income from the previous few days, you are already cheaper, girl."
"This is so unfair, Master Fae." Simone shouted.
"Fair?" One-eyed dragon laughed: "You talk about fairness to the hooligans? Are you kidding, Simone. Now, I warn you to either keep the money and get me back to fish. Or…"
He scanned Simone's body and then made a weird and evil smile: "Or you spend the night with me today, I can consider not raising the price for you. Of course, it's only today. The price I give you for ten goldwitters is not low."
Simone was so angry that her whole body was trembling, but she couldn't accept the threat of the one-eyed dragon. After all, this was the only market in this area.
She whispered, “God will punish you.”
Then she looked at Shi Tou with a pleading look: "Brother Shi Tou, give them the money."
"Why...must...should he give... money? He did not...involve in our...labor."
Simone smiled bitterly. She didn't know how to explain it to Shi Tou. Before that, she had been teaching Shi Tou various principles, knowledge and principles of being a human being, but she had never told Shi Tou that the world was not all light, and there was always a dark side.
"Because...because..." Simone stuttered and couldn't say it.
"Because we have this." The one-eyed dragon in the distance shook his fist, and then pointed to the hell-headed wolf that he had strangled: "And this."
Shi Tou looked at the two-headed wolf, he pointed at it, looked at the one-eyed dragon with questioning eyes. The one-eyed dragon nodded: "That's right, it's it, hand over the money, or I'll let it kill you, Simone, you know I can and dare to do this."
Simone said tremblingly, "Give him money quickly, he can really do it."
Shi Tou looked at Simone, and then looked at One-Eyed Dragon.
He seemed to be confused, confused, or thinking about something.
Finally, he strode towards the one-eyed dragon.
Instead of taking out the money, he looked at the hell-headed wolf led by the one-eyed dragon.
Just stare at it tightly.
The two-headed wolf in hell kept roaring, screaming in a low voice, clamping its tail at the stone and staring at him fiercely.
But for some reason, the two-headed wolf in hell suddenly trembled and stopped roaring. Its eyes gradually became terrified, and its whole body began to curl up.
It lay on the ground and made a pity cry like a puppy: "Woo..."
It seems to be extremely aggrieved.
