Qingyang touched it from his bag and found a small piece of silver. He said, "there's no reward for saving your life. It also delayed your fishing tonight. Take this silver."

Yang Jiren's luggage was robbed by the Jinsha gang. Qingyang's was always tied to him, that is, everything inside was soaked in the river, but there was nothing missing.

Seeing that Qingyang took out the silver, Yu Laosan was terrified and waved his hand and said, "no, no, no, I can't help you. It's just a matter of lifting a hand to save you. Who will have no difficulty going out? It's right to help you. Besides, you didn't delay me. There are many fish in the river. I'll just throw a few nets in the middle of the night."

The third said nothing. Finally, Qingyang had to say, "well, let me help you catch fish. Is that enough?"

There was no way to refuse this request. When the Yu Niang brought ginger tea, they all drank a bowl to dispel the cold. Then Yu Laosan and Qingyang went to the stern to cast a net for fishing. Not only Qingyang, but Lao Liang also wanted to come and help, but the stern position was too small to stand three people. The remaining master Yang Jiren seemed to be too frightened. His body was a little empty and leaned against the side of the cabin to cultivate his spirit.

Qingyang had never been a fisherman and was unfamiliar at the beginning. However, under the guidance of Yu Laosan, he soon mastered the trick. In less than half an hour, several nets were caught, not only some small fish and shrimp, but even three big fish weighing more than ten kilograms.

In the twinkling of an eye, the fish catches were filled with three baskets prepared by Yu Laosan. This was still when the three big fish knocked out and put them in the cabin.

Yu Laosan couldn't help but be stunned. His family has been fishing for a living for generations. They spend part of their life on ships. Naturally, their fishing level is very high. However, he has never met a person with such a high understanding as Qingyang. It took him only half an hour to get started and become proficient.

Yu Laosan is usually busy all night and can get dozens of kilograms of fish. When he is lucky, he can barely fill three fish baskets. As for the big fish of more than ten kilograms, he may not be able to catch one in half a month. As a result, the little brother Qingyang caught so many in a short time.

It's so popular. If this little brother Qingyang is also a fisherman here, he may not have a way to live.

I don't know. In fact, Qingyang's fishing level is not so high. He used his own mind to help, so the effect is so good. On the river at night, others can only rely on experience to judge, while Qingyang's use of mind is more convenient than observing with his eyes during the day. He can see the fish in the river and never run under a net.

There were only three fish baskets on board. The fish baskets were full and there was no place to put them again, so they both held their hands. The night was deep and the weather was getting colder. Mrs. Yu and her daughter slept in the cabin. Yang Jiren and Lao Liang leaned on the side of the cabin to rest. Mr. Yu put on a coat and held the oar to silently watch the fishing boat drift along the water.

Qingyang came to the bow alone, sat cross legged and tried to cultivate, but the effect of cultivation was not very good. The aura here seemed to be thinner than that in the mountains of Xiping mansion.

The boat went downstream. At midnight the next morning, it was getting brighter. Yu Laosan adjusted the direction with his paddle, and then the fishing boat headed for the shore.

Before long, the fishing boat landed. Yu Laosan called the people off the boat, and then said, "this is a temporary wharf. See that side? That's Kaiyuan mansion. You can reach the city in more than half an hour along this road."

The three raised their heads and looked in the direction pointed by Yu Laosan. They could vaguely see the outline of a city wall. The long city wall and majestic tower were much stronger than Xiping mansion. It could only be Kaiyuan mansion nearby.

Although Yang Jiren had a rest in the middle of the night, he was still haggard. He didn't want to stay by the water for a moment. He wanted to fly into the city. However, they thanked Yu Laosan, and then took a deep look in the direction of the fishing boat. Then they hurried away with Lao Liang.

Qingyang is not as anxious as master Yang. Anyway, it has arrived on the land. Even if the Jinsha Gang makes a comeback, he is not afraid. The water Gang leaves the river like a fish leaves the water, and the city gate will not open so early. It's also waiting under the city. It's better to help old Yu sell the fish first.

Three baskets of fish are more than 100 kg, and there are three big fish weighing more than 10 kg, not to mention the third Yu. Even if their whole family goes to battle, they can't carry them. With Qingyang's help, it's no problem. Yu Laosan holds a fish basket, and the other three fish string up and walk in front with their backs on their backs, while Qingyang follows behind with a fish basket in his hands.

On the dock, he walked on for a while and came to a shabby street. There were only a few broken houses and a few sparse people in the street. It seemed that there were more than one fishermen like Yu Laosan at night, and some people had set up stalls.

I don't know whether I don't know each other or I'm not in the mood to talk. I didn't meet anyone to say hello when I walked in front. Only when I saw the three big fish behind Yu Laosan, I had a trace of envy on my face, because most of them had only one fish basket.

Yu Laosan found a cleaner place. They put everything down. Then no one spoke and waited for customers to come. Perhaps because of the three big fish, Yu Laosan soon attracted customers and bought one of the big fish with a small amount of money.

A small amount of money is a hundred copper coins, and ten can only be exchanged for one or two silver. However, this is already a very high price. Depending on the Jinsha River, the price of fish is extremely low. Ordinary fish and shrimp are only two Wen a kilo, and a basket of fish is less than 100 Wen. Yu Laosan can sell the fish he catches in a night, and then buy some rice noodles.

This is a good start. There is a trace of happiness on Yu Laosan's face. With the passage of time, the sky is getting brighter and brighter, and there are more and more guests in the street. There are not only fish sellers on the street, but also some other things. Most of them are nearby villagers.

Yu Laosan's business is very good. He met a shopkeeper who opened a restaurant in Kaiyuan Fucheng. He not only bought ordinary fish and shrimp, but also bought the remaining two big fish. In the twinkling of an eye, Yu Laosan had four or five pieces of money in his hand. However, he brought too many fish this time. All the other fishermen had gone, and he still had half a basket to sell out.

Seeing that it's daybreak, the Jinsha gang may find it at any time. Even if less than half of the remaining baskets of fish can't be sold, anyway, I've earned enough money today. I'd better buy some rice noodles first and go back to the ship as soon as possible. My wife is still waiting for the rice to be cooked.
