Wear It with Space - Chapter 13

Shen Ling looked at Father Zhao’s face and knew that they had a good harvest this time. When the two of them parked the fishing boat, Shen Ling jumped on the boat and saw that the fish pond was full of yellow croakers and Spanish mackerel, and a few fishes were also mixed in. Shen Ling could not name the big fish.

Father Zhao told her daughter: “Xiaodie, don’t move those big fish. You can pick the rest. We will have a good meal in the evening.”

Shen Ling responded and squatted down and picked it up seriously. Father Zhao was tired for a day, waiting impatiently for her, and walked slowly with his hands on his back. Zhao Gang wanted to stay and help, but was driven away by Shen Ling.

When Shen Ling returned to the cave with two yellow croakers, Zhao Gang had already made a fire and put the rice into the pot.

Father Zhao leaned on a stone in the cave and closed his eyes and stared at him. Shen Ling went to wake him up and said with a smile: “Father, guess what I did after you left?”

Father Zhao squinted her: “I don’t understand your thoughts. Eighty percent have gone to the beach to pick up seashells. But if the pearls are so good, then everyone doesn’t have to fish, just go to be pearls.” Shen Shen in the morning. Ling said that he was uncomfortable, and he knew what the girl was doing. Anyway, there was Zhao Gang, and she wouldn’t be in the way if she was missing, so Father Zhao just opened his eyes and closed his eyes and let her mess around.

Shen Ling said, “Father is really good. But the bead I picked up this time is bigger than the last time.” She pulled Father Zhao to the cave, where there were a lot of shells. She pointed at those Shell said, “After I pried all these pearl shells apart, I found that the pearls inside were of good color.” She took out a handkerchief from her arms and uncovered it to Father Zhao.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the ten little finger-sized pearls gathered together, exuding a kind of crystal clear light.

Father Zhao couldn’t help but gasped, “Good fellow, this is the first time I have seen such a good pearl.”

After hearing the sound, Zhao Gang couldn’t help but was dazzled when he saw those pearls, and subconsciously said, “Where are so many pearls?”

Shen Ling carefully looked at the look on his face, not letting go of any clues, and finally smiled relaxedly: “I found it in Zhubei I picked up at the beach. Dad, am I lucky?”

Father Zhao exclaimed again and again: “Girl, your luck is so good! Ordinary pearl people pick two or three such pearls, luck is considered good.” His eyes lingered on those pearls for a long time before saying, ” These pearls are worth at least fifty taels of silver in terms of their fineness. However, they cannot be sold at such a high price in the town, so they can only be bought in Fucheng.”

At dinner, the three of them negotiated and finally decided that Zhao Gang would accompany Shen Ling to Fucheng. After all, Father Zhao is old, and it takes at least three days to get to Fucheng, not to mention that it is enough for him to suffer from exhaustion. And Aunt Zhao naturally doesn’t need to say, so the most suitable candidates are Shen Ling and Zhao Gang.

After these few days of observation, Father Zhao also touched Zhao Gang’s temperament, he was a straightforward offspring, worthy of entrustment.

After the three discussed the matter, they set off back to the pier in the early morning of the next day. Because of the size and quantity of the fish in that boat, they quickly sold for a good price.

Three days later, Shen Ling took a couple of dollars from the fish and went on the road with Zhao Gang.

For convenience, when the two talked to outsiders, they said they were brothers and sisters.

There are many towns and villages to pass from the fishing village to Fucheng. Half of the journey has to be walked on two legs, and the other half is by water. You can take a boat. Although it is easier to take a boat, it is not without danger.

On this day, the two of them traveled to the south of Qingxi County. They only had to cross the Zhubi Lake that traverses the entire county, and it was only half a day away from Fucheng.

The scenery of Zhubi Lake is very beautiful. The bamboo forests are reflected in the mirror-like water of the blue waves. There is a light mist floating on the lake, which makes people feel like a fairyland.

When Shen Ling admired the scenery, Zhao Gang had already negotiated the boat fare with a fisherwoman who was fishing on the lake. The fisher girl looked young, but she was in her thirties, but her skin was dark and rough because of the wind and sun all year round, and her small eyes were shrewd.

Zhao Gang talked for a long time, but she refused to give in.

Shen Ling was listening, the price that the fisher woman asked for was indeed a bit high, and she was about to say something. A loyal middle-aged man approached next to him, “This little brother, Liu’s sister-in-law’s boat price is the highest among us. Come on my boat, I only charge you six cents, how about it?”

When Zhao Gang heard it, his heart was moved. You must know that the fisher woman named Liu Sister-in-law is asking for twenty wen.

Liu’s sister-in-law raised her eyebrows: “Liu Lao, are you here to make trouble again? I’m not afraid of doing too many bad things and being struck by lightning.”

Liu Lao Er smiled: “Who makes Sister Liu you ask for too high a price, if you want me to say you should be like us.”

Sister-in-law Liu took a bite of him, and didn’t say much, just punted away.

Shen Ling watched coldly, thinking that there was something in their words, and she hadn’t waited for her to figure it out. Zhao Gang had already called her to board the boat, and it was the second Liu’s boat. Two people only needed six cents, which was cheaper than the others.

Liu Lao Er waited for the two of them to sit down, and told them some legends about Zhubi Lake while **** the boat. Zhao Gang is extremely interested in these legends and asks some questions from time to time. Sitting beside Zhao Gang with her knees folded, Shen Ling didn’t say a word, just staring at the surface of the water in a daze, as if thinking about something.

When the boat was halfway up the lake, Liu Lao Er who was punting suddenly stopped talking, and there was a brief silence on the lake. In this silence, the sound of wood pulp paddling in the water seemed extraordinarily loud.

Zhao Gang was listening attentively, “Uncle Liu, why didn’t you talk about it?”

But Liu Erneng ignored him, put his fingers in his mouth and whistle, the sharp sound had not yet completely dispersed on the water, the lake fluctuated, and three men jumped out of the water one after another.

It turned out that when Shen Ling and the others got on the ship, the three of them had already secretly hidden under the ship. Liu Lao Er kept talking on the boat in order to attract the attention of Shen Ling and Zhao Gang and prevent them from discovering the whereabouts of the three.

When the boat was halfway through, Lao Er Liu issued the promised signal. The four of them have been doing this on the lake for a long time, and they have chosen only the few boat passengers. After robbing the boat passengers, they tied the people and sank secretly into the bottom of the lake, unconsciously.

Shen Ling had faintly felt something wrong when he got on the boat. When Liu Lao Er stopped talking, she kept her heart in her heart. When the three men jumped up from the water, she immediately pulled Zhao Gang and jumped into the water.

Liu Lao Er was not in a hurry to see the two jump into the water. In terms of water, the two men couldn’t match their brothers, and they also grew up in Zhubi Lake. They knew the situation in the lake best.

He thought so, and so did the other three. But when they went into the water and searched around, they found that the two people had disappeared without a trace as if they had never appeared before.

After Shen Ling pulled Zhao Gang into the water, knocked him unconscious from behind, and then led him into the space. Originally thought this was the best way she thought of in a hurry, but a voice suddenly rang in her mind.

System 25: “Remind the host that an outsider broke into the space for no reason. In order to protect the host, the space has turned on the confidentiality mode. The memory of the outsider in the space will be obliterated when they go out.”

Shen Ling suddenly felt that his knock was unnecessary.

Looking at the twenty square meters of land, Shen Ling suddenly remembered something. She dug out the vegetable seeds bought from the vegetable growers from the warehouse in the space, took the two most durable vegetable seeds, and carefully sprinkled them on the black land with the palm of the hand.

Twenty square meters of land is no more than the size of a bedroom. It took Shen Ling almost two quarters of an hour to plant the entire plot of land. She let out a sigh of relief and felt that the few people outside should be gone, so she stepped out of the space.

The visibility of the lake was very high, and Shen Ling swam in the lake for a while, only to find that the four people were still not far away and were still searching for her and Zhao Gang’s whereabouts.

Shen Ling thought about it, and then came up with a countermeasure. She spread out her combed hair, followed the sound and came quietly behind a man, patted the man’s right shoulder lightly, and made a face that she thought was terrible when the man turned around.

The guy had done a lot of bad things, and he had ghosts in his heart. When he saw Shen Ling’s disheveled grimacing face, he naturally regarded her as a water ghost, and he couldn’t help but yell.

Next, all three people in the water met a water ghost. One even felt that his right leg was pulled down by someone, but when he turned around, he couldn’t see a single figure.

In less than half of the incense stick time, the four of them hurriedly climbed from the water to the boat, talking about their own experiences, and thinking about the two who disappeared, the four shivered in unison, and they didn’t dare to be in this lake anymore. Stayed inside and quickly propped the boat away.

Shen Ling watched the four people leave in a panic, feeling only amused in her heart. She swam in the lake for a while, sometimes playing around when she saw fish and shrimps. Before he knew it, he had already swam to the north of Zhubi Lake.

There happened to be a fishing boat casting a net on the lake. Shen Lingyou took a closer look. It turned out that it was the sister-in-law Liu before, and he couldn’t help calling, “Sister-in-law Liu.”
