Chapter 215 New Clothes Can't Get Dirty
With a ding sound, the two knives collided with each other. Zhou Guo smiled, turned his wrist, moved his feet lightly, and pointed the tip of the knife at Zhou Dacang's neck. Zhou Dacang hurriedly raised the knife to block, and the knife almost slipped out of his hand.
Half a cup of tea later, the two men put away their swords at the same time, sweating profusely. The old man on the side nodded with satisfaction, looking at his little apprentice with pride in his eyes. In a few years, he would have nothing left to teach her.
Zhou Gu and the others clapped their hands, "That's amazing."
Zhou Dacang wiped his sweat with a cloth and said with a smile: "Guoguo is still amazing. I can't compare to him."
The old man waved his hand, "Don't compare yourself to her. She's not normal, but you're not bad either. You're much better than the average person."
Zhou Dacang just smiled, thinking that his little disciple was no ordinary person.
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Master, when are we going to start learning the next set of sword techniques? The sword you used last time was called the Falling Goose Sword. It was so powerful. When can I learn it?"
The old man pointed at her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? If you don't practice the sword skills well enough, it will be useless and will hurt you. How can you be so impatient at such a young age? This is not good."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I'm only eight years old. Have you ever seen a young person who can keep his composure? The ones who can keep their composure are the older ones like you. If a young person can keep his composure, he is no longer a young person."
The old man snorted, "I'm getting older and older all the time. Am I that old?"
Zhou Guo said: "Yes, yes, you are not old, shall we go into the mountains today?"
The old man looked at her in surprise, "Aren't you still going to dig a cellar? Not digging anymore?"
Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "Hey, my uncle and brothers are here. We can expand the cellar. It will take a few people half a day to finish it. I'd better go into the mountains. Master, you want to eat fresh pine mushrooms, I want to eat your grilled fish."
The old man said in high spirits: "Grilled fish is nothing. I'll grill as much as you want. I actually want to eat roasted piglets."
"That's not that difficult. We have three little piglets at home. If you want to eat them, we can just roast them when we get home in the evening."
“Who bakes?”
“You bake!”
"Why is it me again?"
"I've never baked before. Don't worry, I can bake it, but you have to wait a few days for me to bake it."
"What are you roasting? What are you talking about?" Zhou Gu walked over and asked curiously.
Zhou Guo laughed and said, "We are talking about roasting a few piglets in the backyard. We are wondering whether to roast them today or in two days."
Zhou Gu was shocked. "Really? Then...how about we kill the big ones? If we can't eat them ourselves, we can sell some and let Butcher Wang kill them."
Still reluctant.
The old man was puzzled. "Why would you be reluctant to give up a little wild boar? At most, I can go back to the mountains and catch a few more. And if you want to sell them, just take the other two to the county restaurant and sell them. I think you can get a good price for them."
Zhou Gu didn't believe it. Sir, he had never raised pigs, so how could he know the price of pigs? But if Sir wanted to eat it, then he could eat it.
After dinner, Zhou Dacang and his friends started digging a cellar. The original cellar could be used after some repairs and digging, and it didn't require much effort.
Zhou Guo went down to take a look, and seeing that no help was needed, he went out with a machete, a basket, and a bamboo tube of water on his back.
The old man never waited for her when he went into the mountains. He would go forward alone long ago, so she could only catch up with him.
After entering the mountain, she was not in a hurry to go to the water pond. She first took a breath and walked around several hills for several times. After she was tired and out of breath, she started picking up wild mushrooms with a basket. She didn't know if it was because there had been no rain recently, but there were very few wild mushrooms in the mountains, including few pine mushrooms and even fewer pine mushrooms.
After more than an hour, she had picked up a basket of pine mushrooms. She carried the basket of mushrooms and jumped onto the tree trunk, flying between the trees. After a while, she heard the sound of flowing water. When she arrived, she leaned her head forward and looked forward. Sure enough, she saw a man sitting by the pond. She didn't know when the old man arrived, but he was sitting on the shore fishing with a fishing rod.
Zhou Guo jumped down from a tree more than ten feet high and landed steadily without dropping any of the mushrooms in the basket. He ran to the old man and said, "Master, how did you catch the fish? Why did you go to such lengths? Didn't you just go down and pierce the fish in the past?"
The old man touched his new clothes lovingly and said, "That was in the past. Today I am wearing new clothes. I cannot let them get dirty. I have to wear them for a few more days."
Zhou Guo looked around and found a small puddle surrounded by stones at his feet. There were two fish weighing three or four pounds in it. "You've been fishing for so long, and you only caught two of these. This is not enough for me to eat alone."
She rolled up her sleeves, rolled up her trouser legs, and drew out her dagger. "Master, wait a minute. I'll go down and kill them. I'm sure we'll be full."
The old man wanted to stop it, but after looking at the people who had already gone into the water, he shut his mouth again.
The water in the mountains is really cold, much colder than before. It would be freezing if you stay there for a while. Fortunately, she now has internal strength. Although it is not thick, it can still play a role in keeping out the cold.
She had done this job of slacking off on the road before, but the fish here seemed to be smarter and she failed to penetrate them after several attempts.
"I just don't believe that I can't catch a fish." He muttered to himself and stabbed at a fish, but missed.
She was so angry that she threw away the dagger, rolled up her sleeves and started grabbing them with her bare hands. She was quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabbed one after another. In the time it took to stick of incense, she had caught seven or eight. It turned out that no tool was as useful as hands.
The old man hadn't caught any fish for a long time. As he sat there he would see a big fish suddenly fly in from the puddle not far ahead, or there would be a loud thud and water would splash everywhere.
Another one almost hit his head, but fell at his feet, jumping around happily and twitching its mouth towards him as if mocking him.
It was intentional, this was definitely intentional. The little girl had practiced using hidden weapons. I can't say that she could shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away, but with such a small distance and such a big pit, she couldn't even throw a fish in?
Just as he was thinking about it, another fish whizzed in front of him, almost knocking over his fishing rod. The old man could no longer bear it, "That's enough, if you keep being naughty, you will watch me eat the fish and I will punish you by not allowing you to eat for a day."
Zhou Guo stood up upon hearing this, and seeing the two fish beside the old man, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't see it, and wanted to try if I could throw it in with my back to the fish. It seems I still need to practice more, my accuracy is not good enough."
She looked up at the sky. There was no sun and she didn't know what time it was. But she was hungry and she had caught about ten fish in total. That was enough, so she went ashore.
I went to the woods to pick up a large pile of firewood, built two piles of firewood, and began to process the fish, scraping the scales and cutting open the stomachs. I scaled seven or eight fish in one go, and if I couldn't finish the remaining ones, I could take them back to eat.
