Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 71 The Wild Geese Return North
The rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

The sun shines on the mountains and forests, shining through the lush branches and leaves, leaving spots of light on the ground.

The flowers bloomed and the grass grew.

The spring breeze blew across the earth, making the peach blossoms that had withered sadly in the rain last night bloom with color again.
The red and pink ones, each with their eyebrows painted, glanced at the nearby cherry blossoms, disdaining their monotonous white.

Compared to the cherry blossoms, the peach blossoms are feeling proud of themselves, thinking that their beauty will attract bees and butterflies.
But when he looked down, he saw that the bees and butterflies, who were easily bored with the old and easily fascinated by the new, had gone to the baby's breath at his feet, and were exchanging sweet words to each other, expressing all the tenderness in their hearts.

Taohuaer cursed the scumbag inwardly and ignored him. If you don't know how to cherish, there are people who appreciate me.
Look, many orioles are flapping their wings and flying towards this side.
Snake Pond is my home,
I love my home.

Liu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and dozed off in the sun, listening to the cheerful calls of the returning geese as they flew across the sky, as if they were talking in a dream.

White Snake leaned on his back and asked curiously, "Master, what is love?"

Liu Qing was not good at naming, so he named Bai She'er "Bai Sisi". Bai She'er cried and refused to accept the name, so Liu Qing had to call her Bai She'er again.

Ever since she called Bai She'er back, her sadness turned into joy, and she became even more obsessed with Liu Qing. Even when she called him "Master", she changed it to the intimate "Master Brother".

what is love?
How can the master explain it clearly? Even if he could, he couldn't tell you. Maybe, when the master picks up Hong Gu and comes back, you will understand.

Liu Qing did not answer. The white snake hummed softly, changed its position, and moved closer to Liu Qing's body.

Compared with the leisurely Liu Qing and Bai Sheer, the other monsters in the snake pond were almost exhausted.

Recently, two major businesses have been negotiated. One is Li Shimin, and the other is the various canals of the Shuifu River. Both need to supply salt goods.
Therefore, Brother Zuoshou was assigned to lead six shrimp and crab monsters to mine rock salt on the cliff north of Snake Pond day and night.

There were six shrimps and crabs, and Liu Qing named them Big Shrimp, Medium Shrimp, Small Shrimp, Crab One, Crab Two, and Crab Three. He was indeed bad at naming, but fortunately these six shrimps and crabs had just gained intelligence and could not tell the good from the bad.

Brother Zuoshou and the six shrimps and crabs were assigned to harvest rock salt except on moonlit nights.
Other monsters took over the subsequent process, for example, the short-tailed water python with thick skin and flesh, and the awakened talent of great strength,

Appointed by Liu Qing as the section chief of the gravel section, he led eight snake and python monsters under his command, spitting out their snake cores, wheezing and raising their snake tails, and pounding large pieces of rock salt until it became powder.

There were eight snakes and pythons. Liu Qing called the cauliflower snake "Hua Cai" and the two silver ring snakes "Si Huan" and "Wu Huan".
The best name for the Green-skinned Tree Anaconda is "Green-skinned". As for the remaining three Three-flowered Water Anacondas, they are named according to the color of their scales.
The one with more black is called "black three-flowered", the one with more white is called "white three-flowered", the one with more gray is called "gray three-flowered", and the one with more yellow is called "yellow three-flowered".

Scar Carp and the other two were sent to patrol the Xiaolugou River, and the one responsible for spraying water into the pot was the Crucian Carp monster.
Liu Qing originally wanted to name him "Daji". When he had his own water palace, he would let this fellow open and close the door for him.
At that time, shouting "Good luck on opening the door" and then shouting "Good luck on closing the door" can be considered as a good omen.

Who would have thought that this guy actually gave himself a name in advance, saying it was called "Ji Ping An". Damn it,

"Good luck and peace" is not as good as "great luck". The eel monster Eelhong, born in the mud of Xiaolugou, and the monster Knife Loach, are responsible for taking turns to light the fire in the cave.
Brother Zuoshou took advantage of the opportunity to dig a waterway leading directly to the cave, so that the two monsters could float in the water and add firewood to the fire.

Although they were limited in size and were not the most suitable candidates to start the fire, it was because Liu Qing was short of men and no one else could go ashore except them.
We can't let the whole family of the catfish make fire. Although eels and loaches cannot live without water, they are better than catfish, crucian carp and carp.

Thinking of this, Liu Qing planned to take out the buffalo monster meat in the mouth bag space after a while and use it to create the creatures in the pond again.

We have to wait a little longer. Due to the frequent changes in the weather in a short period of time, many creatures in the river have been inflated, which is not conducive to the reproduction of the population, especially in spring, when most of them are busy biting their young.

The bearded catfish was quite sad to hear that Liu Qing would no longer be allowed to set up a stall and would only be responsible for supplying goods. It was very nervous about the decline in its importance.

The Bearded Catfish is the Commercial Ambassador of Snake Pond. Instead of setting up stalls, he is responsible for delivering goods to various water veins. To be responsible for delivery, one only needs to have the talent of the bladder.
There are so many monsters in the pond, and some of them have awakened their swim bladders and air sacs. How can such a simple thing demonstrate the ability of this catfish?
It originally planned to have its wife, children, and parents at home learn to set up stalls with it after they transformed into spirits.
But the head of the family suddenly changed his strategy, which made his wish come to nothing. All of a sudden, the whole family became idlers, and their importance in Snake Pond was greatly reduced. How could he not be uneasy and worried?

Fortunately, this worry was completely dispelled after it was delivered to Shuiyutan.

Liu Qing ordered that the supply of salt from Shetan be done once a month by each household. There were exactly 29 households in the seven ponds, five rivers, and seventeen canals, so they could rotate once a month.
The order of supply is Wuding River first, which is understandable, as Wuding River is the one Liu Qing is most close to.
Next are Shuiyutan and Laoguitan, and then they are arranged in order.

Both Shuiyutan and Laoguitan are related to the owner of the mansion, but in terms of closeness, the sister-in-law is always much closer than Laogui.
Therefore, Shuiyutan ranks second in supply, and Laoguitan ranks third.

After the catfish returned from the Jade Water Pond, the Mandarin Fish Banshee seemed to have decided that she would become the garrison lady of the Snake Pond.
So, when the catfish came back, they brought back some of the water jade that was abundant in the Water Jade Pond.

She seemed to be giving away these beautiful water jades as a dowry, preparing to keep them for building a water palace in the future. After all, it was heard that Liu Qing was stationed there, but now he was living on a crooked mulberry tree. It was really pitiful for him.

The water jades brought back were not high-quality river treasures, but mostly some inferior or ordinary water jades.

However, compared with the high-quality water jade, each one has bright colors and is extremely beautiful. I think if it is used to build a water palace in the future, it will definitely be magnificent.

After showing the water jade to Liu Qing, the catfish became interested.

Although these water jades are only of inferior grade, and many of them are ordinary water jades that are not even "inferior",
But, isn’t this just a good option for gambling on stones?
Those of inferior quality contain trace amounts of the Source Qi of Heaven and Earth, mixed with other ordinary ones, and their appearance and color are roughly the same. Without the use of Yin Shen soul consciousness to sense, who can tell which one contains the Source Qi of Heaven and Earth and which one is a stubborn stone?
Liu Qing was amazed by his thoughts on the bearded catfish.

He was also worried about what to do with the water jade, so he nodded and agreed to the catfish's request, allowing it to use the water jade to gamble on stones.

You can't keep these water jades and accept the dowry from the master's sister-in-law, right?
