[Journey to the West] The Poor Monk Xuanzang

This is the largest trading market in the south, and he has been here for three days, but he hasn't found anything new.

He needs something fresh, rare, eye-catching, and preferably worthless, something that can fool those aristocrats into selling them for a good price when they are brought to the imperial capital.

It's a pity that such things are always encountered but not sought after.

"Eleven, have you found the right baby?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman, leaning against the door and looking at him. She had a plump figure, a beauty spot on the corner of her lips, and the fan in her hand was constantly fluttering. with.

Eleven is his big ranking in the clan.This woman is his old acquaintance.

"It's not that easy," Eleven said with a smile, "I've seen a few of them, but I don't like them all."

The woman smiled, twisted her body, came over and grabbed his sleeve, led him to the back room, and said angrily, "Why don't you come to me when your enemy encounters difficulties!"

Eleven smiled: "Isn't this afraid of disturbing the proprietress?"

The woman chuckled lightly, let go to lift the curtain, and turned sideways to let Wang Dajin in.

This room is neither big nor big, but it is not small. There are more than a dozen glazed tanks in all directions, and all kinds of fish are swimming in it.

But in the middle of the room, there was a group of small fishes swimming in the biggest fish tank.

The proprietress followed behind him: "Look carefully, this is a new thing!"

Eleven smiled and said, "This fish tank seems to be worth some money, and the fish in it are not unusual."

The proprietress smiled slightly, and her face became more colorful: "You don't understand this." She said, and asked the boy to grab a chicken from the cage next to it.

The boy held the root of the chicken's wings with one hand, and untied the rope with the other, and then threw the flopping chicken directly into the fish tank. "

Eleven was shocked, and before he could say anything, something even more surprising happened.

The fish swimming lazily in the fish tank seemed to boil hot oil meeting cold water. They slammed to the ground and attacked in groups, but they tore the chicken alive in the blink of an eye. Only the bones remained.

"How?" The woman's voice was soft and delicate.

"Okay, very good..." Eleven stared at the cruel little thing in the bathtub without blinking, and he felt that he had found something that was enough to arouse the interest of those little boys.

"It's just the price," he came back to his senses, "May the proprietress give me an accurate estimate."

The woman covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Eleventh is a bit too outlandish. Between you and me, what are you talking about money for?" Then she said: "Although this thing is rare, it is easy to feed and breeds quickly here. I will give you a few, and you will keep them for a few months..."

Eleven questions, the proprietress asked for a special small tank, and set off on the return journey with the fish in that tank.

He planned to rest in his hometown for a period of time, raise the fish according to what the proprietress said, and then go to the imperial capital to buy a good price.

Of the five sent by the proprietress, one died on the way, and was almost immediately eaten to the bone by the other four.

Eleven was a little startled when he saw it, for fear that the fish would kill each other and eat each other, but fortunately, they didn't seem interested in the living ones.

He bought a large water tank, put the fish into the water, and fed some living things into it from time to time. The things really grew fast. There were only four fishes that were sparse at first, but many small fish fry emerged within a month.

That day, a few of them got together to drink and chat.

Wang San suddenly said a strange thing, the guy said mysteriously: "You said there are immortals in this world."

Wang Er laughed on the spot: "Immortals, of course there are. Aren't all the people in the city and Zuichun Tower all immortals? Hahahahaha."

Several drunkards laughed together.

Wang San suddenly said seriously: "I'm serious, I saw it."

"Hahahaha, he said he saw it!" Wang Er laughed loudly, slapped the table and said, "Okay! You said you saw it, then maybe you can tell me what that fairy looks like."

"I saw it a few days ago. I was pulling in the net at that time, and the fairy was sitting on a tree in the distance. He seemed to have no clothes on, and his hair was long and scattered in the water."

"Yo, it sounds like the truth," Wang Er repeated the words in a strange way, "this fairy has to be in the water, or sit on a rotten piece of wood, and have to... wear clothes!"

The others laughed again.

"Three, I'm not talking about you, you are a big boy, you should marry a wife, don't think about gods and ghosts all day long," said an older person, "Even if, as you said, you meet a fairy , can the immortal be with you? Can he be your wife?"

"It's important to fish honestly, marry a wife, start a family and start a business." The heat on the side echoed.

"Oh, you old-fashioned people don't understand San's heart, San, if you really meet that fairy, bring it back and show us brothers, so that we can open our eyes, don't you?" Wang Eryang After taking a sip of his wine, he laughed again.

Wang San asked him to make fun of him several times, his face was a bit uneasy, and he said with a cold face: "You don't believe me?"

"Oh, it's not that I don't believe you," someone smoothed things over, "Even if there is a Narcissus, what kind of relationship does it have with us people, take it easy."

"Ha, you are really right!" Wang Er slammed the bowl, "I still don't believe you! What you want to say is true, I will kneel down and kowtow to you!"

Someone nearby pulled Wang Er away: "Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, what are you making a fuss about, it's fine."

If you say that Wang Er and Wang San are really brothers, it's just that the two have been at odds since childhood, Wang Er can't get used to Wang San's stupid look, and Wang San thinks Wang Er is too slippery.

Coupled with the fact that the old man in the family died and divided the family property two years ago, the two brothers, who were still barely getting along, became like enemies in a daze.

Although Wang Er is naughty, but when he meets his younger brother, he always wants to tease him for nothing. It's not like fighting is not enough. He is like a powder keg ready to explode at any time.

Wang Sandao: "Okay! You said it, I'm waiting to kowtow and kneel!"

"We're all brothers, don't make a fuss." Someone next to him asked Wang San to drink, but Wang San swung him away.

Afterwards, Wang San waited for the Narcissus by the river every day.

When this farce happened, Eleven was also drinking in it.

Eleven has been out a lot in recent years, and compared to other people in the village, his way of thinking is unique.

For example, his idea is——saying that it is a fairy, could it be some kind of fish that looks like a man?If one could be caught, it would be a worthless deal.

In this way, Wang San guards the Tongtian River every day, and on Eleven, he pays attention to Wang San every day.

Perhaps it was Huang Tian who lived up to his painstaking efforts, and Wang San was really found.

He was going out for a walk in the middle of the night, but he saw the Narcissus by the Tongtian River.

The immortal was lying on the riverside with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. He was not naked, and below his waist was a fish's tail, most of which was still soaked in the water.

Wang San was happy, but he didn't dare to disturb the immortals, so he ran back quickly to find Wang Er, to prove what he said was true.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, he met Eleven first.

Eleven was about to go to bed, but happened to see Wang San going out, so he kept his mind on it, seeing him walking back in such a hurry, he understood 89 points in his heart.

He rushed up to meet him and shouted, "Third Brother, why are you running so fast?"

Wang San was also a fool, so when he asked, he didn't think much about it: "The immortal is by the river." It's no wonder he was stupid, after all, how many people in this world have thought about making money from immortals.

"Then take me to have a look." Eleven smiled.

"I want to find my brother, but he still bet with me!" Wang Sandao said, "I didn't lie, I want him to admit that I didn't lie!" As he said that, he wanted to continue running.

Eleven hurriedly pulled him back: "Whatever you are running, show me first, if it is true, I will testify to you!"

Wang San hesitated for a moment: "But my brother..."

Eleven said: "Take me there first, and I'll watch over for you. What if the immortal escapes, your brother will have to accuse you of lying to him again."

Wang San thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense, and planned to go back to Wang Er again.Even if the immortal ran away, Eleven would be able to testify to him.

The two ran to the river, panting.

Under that clump of dense reeds, there is really a person hidden, a "human" with a human body and a fish tail.

Eleven murmured, "Really..."

"I'm not lying, am I?" Wang San said happily.

"Yes." Eleven nodded repeatedly.

"Then I'm going to find my brother, are you here to watch for me?"

"Okay." Eleven smiled, intending to take the mermaid back after Wang San left, but on second thought, even though Wang San was an idiot, letting him go would be a mess.

Furthermore, Wang Er is a slippery person, why not simply——

Thinking about it on Eleventh, he actually became murderous. He hid a big rock behind him and shouted: "Third brother, go slowly, I still have something to ask you."

That wood turned around stupidly: "Eleven, what else is there?"

……

I kill.

These four words were tossed back and forth in Eleven's mind, I killed, killed, killed...

He sat in the room blankly, and the mermaid was thrown on the ground by him.

He held his head, his mind was in a mess.What to do? What to do? What to do.

The third brother's body is still by the river and will be found.

He should have thrown the body into the river—no, no, it would float if thrown into the river, the injury was obviously hit on the head, and by then...

His eyes rolled wildly, and the image of the chicken being thrown into the fish tank flashed in his mind.That little thing eats meat very quickly... That's right, with this mermaid, what does he need that little thing for?

At that time, just say that there are monsters in the river.

As he thought about it, he scooped up all the fish in the tank, put them in boxes, and ran to the river as if flying.

Soak half of the third brother's body in the water, and then pour the fish into the river.

It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay, he returned home with sweat all over his head, just as he stepped into the house, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body

The mermaid was sitting on the ground, looking at him with blue eyes.
