Chapter 243 Hanging Cambridge
"Auspicious beasts like the dragon have been connected with the destiny of a county's mountains and rivers since it transformed into a dragon, and Xiaoqing is no exception." Chi Qiaosong said with Yourong Yan.
Xiaoqing is his most important companion - not a pet.
Ren Qiongdan withdrew his gaze from the small green scales and asked: "Boss, how should we deal with this Songshan Jun?"
"Keep half of it for yourself, and cut the other half evenly. I'll give it away later." This Songshanjun is very big, and it would be a waste to use it to fertilize the fields.
It's better to keep it for eating or give it as a gift.
Ren Qiongdan did as he was told, and took Xiao Zhi to start processing the body of Songshan Jun. In addition to his edible meat, Songshan Jun also had precious fur. Although this fur cannot be made into fur, it can be woven into wool and knitted into a sweater, which will definitely keep you warm.
.
the other side.
Ikehashimatsu took Xiaoqing to the edge of the pond.
Thanks to Xiaozhi's continuous excavation, which is as efficient as an excavator, the pond has formed a circular river channel surrounding the pine garden. The mountain stream has continuously stored water, and the water level in the river channel is no longer low.
"Xiaoqing, please go into the water and try."
"Moo."
Xiaoqing used her tail to explore the water, and then quickly pulled it back.
It has been afraid of water since it was a child, but Ikehashi always felt that a dragon should be close to water: "It's okay, you can try again, soak your tail in the water, and slowly feel the water flow."
According to legend, Jiao is a dragon that can cause floods.
When young, they will inhabit the bottom of ponds and rivers. This type of dragon is generally called a latent dragon. When the dragon grows up, it will move along the river and into the sea to transform into a dragon. This type of dragon is called a walking dragon.
Floods will cause flooding and damage river channels, as well as bridges on the river.
Therefore, in order to protect the bridge, the ancients would hang a sword at the bottom of the bridge - the bridge is called the Hanging Cambridge, and the sword is called the Dragon-Slaying Sword to prevent the bridge from being destroyed by the dragon.
From Ikehashi Matsu's point of view, Hanging Cambridge may not necessarily be aimed at dragons, after all, dragons are too rare.
Maybe the hanging bridge was just the ancient people's helpless response to the flood, hoping that a sword could stop the flood and not destroy the bridge they had worked so hard to build.
but.
No matter how you say it, in old legends, dragons are associated with water.
Xiao Qing flinched: "Moo."
However, Ikehashimatsu insisted on letting him go into the water: "Come on, Xiaoqing, I'll go into the water first and you can follow me. How can you be afraid of water as a dragon? Your mother survived the disaster and turned into a dragon in Pengli Lake."
With constant encouragement from Ikehashi Matsu, Xiaoqing finally overcomes her fear.
It dipped its tail into the pond. After a while, it felt that the water didn't seem to be scary, so it soaked its entire body in the water, leaving only its big head exposed.
"Moo."
"Does it feel good to soak in the water in summer?" Ikehashi Pine was also soaking in the pond.
Because it is running water from a mountain stream and the pond is built into a surrounding river, the water quality is very clear and has not been polluted by chickens, ducks and geese.
He started swimming along the river, not very fast, so Xiaoqing could awkwardly swim behind him.
However, Xiaoqing is an auspicious beast after all. After a while, he was able to hold his breath and dive in the water. He even learned to swim with water by himself without a teacher, just like swimming with air on the shore.
Just hula and you can swim around the river.
The more I swam, the more excited I became. I couldn't help but open my mouth and roar again, making a deafening cow cry: "Moo!"
"Okay, okay, stop barking." Chi Qiaosong hugged its neck and closed its mouth, "If you keep barking, the chickens, ducks and geese in the yard won't lay eggs."
Xiaoqing nodded obediently.
When Ikehashi let go of his hand, it plunged into the water, and the next moment, it bit a fat black crucian carp, hung it in its mouth, and proudly showed it off to Ikehashi.
"Okay, now you will catch the fish for yourself, but be careful not to eat all the black crucian carp, but leave some for reproduction. This is in line with sustainable development."
Xiaoqing chewed up the black crucian carp and swallowed it: "Moo."
Then he dived into the water and caught another fat black crucian carp. In just a few moments, he caught ten black crucian carps in a row and ate them happily.
Only then did Ikehashi leave the pond and go ashore under the glaring gaze of Ikehashi Matsu.
…
…
…
"Xiaosong, have you been fired?" Chi's mother asked in a panic.
When Ikehashimatsu went to Qingxiangjiayuan Community for dinner in the evening, news that he and several other unit leaders had been dismissed and fired had already spread.
He didn't hide anything: "Well, I didn't go to the new governor's meeting, so he was trying to scare the monkeys."
Chi's mother was very worried: "Oh, how can this be so good? Why are you being fired? Why don't you go to the meeting? Being fired by the county governor is a big deal."
Chi's father smoked a dry cigarette that had not changed for thousands of years. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Okay, don't worry about it. If Xiaosong doesn't go to the meeting, there must be a reason not to go."
The second uncle asked: "Xiaosong, why don't you go to the meeting?"
The whole family came over.
Ikehashi Matsu said: "The new governor is a member of the Ou clan. As a local warrior, he must show his necessary attitude... Mom and Dad, don't worry about me, these are all trivial matters."
My sister-in-law was speechless: "Is this still a small matter?"
In their view, the county governor is the biggest king in Mokan County, and offending the county governor is definitely a big deal.
Ikehashi smiled: "Although the new governor has landed in Mokan County, the ownership of Mokan County has not yet been determined, and everything is uncertain. Of course, it is really a small matter for our family. At the worst, we can move anywhere.
Live comfortably.”
Father Chi nodded: "You are a warrior, and we are all ordinary people. We can't help much, but we will definitely listen to you and won't hold you back."
"I see."
Afterwards, the whole family did not mention Ikehashi Matsu's expulsion.
After dinner, the second uncle asked Chi Qiaosong to take him to practice martial arts for a while. Although he didn't go to Chijiashan often, the second uncle still practiced martial arts for an hour every day.
He is very persistent in martial arts and always wants to reach the level of strongman.
Ikehashi Matsu also continued to encourage: "Second uncle, if you keep practicing like this, within a year or two, I guarantee that you will become a strongman. You are much more determined to pursue martial arts than my father and uncle."
If you don't have the will to fight, you won't be able to practice any tricks even if you eat phoenix seeds.
Only the second uncle who practices martial arts steadfastly, day and night, and eats Wutong seeds to improve his qualifications can hope to break the shackles of time and seize a chance.
"With your words, I will definitely insist on it, uncle. Don't say it. I practice for an hour every day. My body is much better now than before."
"That's natural."
"When I go hiking in Chijiashan, I can climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain in one breath without having to rest in the middle."
Ikehashi smiled and said: "If you persist, you will definitely gain something. I think this sentence is perfect for you, my second uncle."
The second uncle wiped the sweat from his head and said with a smile: "When your second uncle and I advance, your second aunt must not be scared silly. This old woman gave birth to two fat boys for me. Now her nose is turned up to the sky, and she is summoned every day."
I."
"I think it's your second uncle who is willing to be manipulated by your second aunt."
"I won't let her get used to her after she's finished her confinement."
After the second uncle finished speaking, he glanced at the back room and said sheepishly: "Do you still have the honey from the Golden Wings? Your second aunt has been bored these days and wants to drink some honey water."
"Yes, I will put it back in my third uncle's room, and you can go get it yourself."
"okay."
The second uncle was overjoyed. He was really kind to the second aunt.
Suddenly he remembered something again and said: "Your third uncle is very lucky. Zhao Hongzhen has agreed to get the certificate. But Xiaosong, after your third uncle gets married, will you still let him live in the house at the foot of the mountain?"
"What's wrong?"
"I think your father's intention is to arrange a job for your third uncle in the county town and prevent him from guarding the mountain. He is afraid that now that he has to take care of the family, he will easily expose the secrets of the mountain."
