Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

When Old Chen heard Lu Changqing's words, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, which then turned into delight.

He has lived for so many years, making a living on the water, and his main principle is: harmony is paramount.

Avoid confrontations if possible.

The two previous managers had the same personality.

This caused many opportunities to slip through his fingers.

At this moment, faced with Lu Changqing's tough attitude and actions, he immediately took the helm and turned the ship around!

It is true that harmony is the foundation of longevity.

But that's something that only makes sense to people with capital.

The poor must fight!

In an instant, everyone on the ship was eager to get started.

On Wednesday, he even gripped the short knife that was tucked into his waistband in his hand.

The fact that the Zhang family was able to threaten and rob them over their catch shows that they are capable of being ruthless when it comes to profit.

We're giving Brother Lu face because the profit from the catch isn't big enough.

But when faced with the money brought by Bao Yu, Brother Lu's connections might not be of much use...

They are a unified whole; they cannot lose face!

At that moment, something unexpected happened to everyone on both boats...

Under the setting sun, the golden-red fish actually darted into the fishing net that had been cast on Wednesday!

Lu Changqing, Zhou San, Lao Chen, and others were overjoyed.

A sense of malice arose among the people on Zhang's fishing boat.

These precious fish are priceless and unavailable.

If you find the right buyer, you might be able to sell it for 100 taels, 200 taels, or even 300 taels!

This is almost a year's wages for them.

Who would willingly give it up?

"San'er! Quickly close the net! Quickly!!" Old Chen shouted excitedly.

At the same time, he gripped the musket tightly in his hand, staring at the Zhang family's fishing boat that was about to approach in the distance.

Upon hearing this on Wednesday, he immediately grabbed one end of the fishing net and pulled it upwards.

But in the next instant, under everyone's gaze, the precious fish that had clearly entered the fishing net somehow managed to bite through it and escape!

When Wednesday, Lao Chen and the others saw this, their excited expressions instantly froze, as if they had been doused with cold water.

The people on Zhang's fishing boat once again showed joy on their faces.

The leader immediately shouted, "Cast the net! Cast the net!"

"Those who are good swimmers, jump into the river! Go down and catch them!"

While shouting, he also raised his musket and fired a shot at Baoyu.

"bump"!

Smoke filled the air, and water splashed everywhere.

As the gunshot rang out, the figure on the boat jumped into the water with a "plop," splashing water everywhere.

Several men were either diving or swimming.

But when they arrived at the location where the treasure fish had just been,

There was no fish carcass, not even a trace of blood...

Just as they looked around in bewilderment.

About ten meters away.

The treasure fish resurfaced.

And from its pursed mouth, it spat a jet of water in their direction.

The meaning is self-evident.

For a moment, all the men on Zhang's boat were filled with anger, yet there was nothing they could do.

The opportunity to seize the treasure fish was that shot from the musket.

If you miss your shot... even if a hundred more people come, you still won't be able to catch a fish in the river.

Their reason for going into the water was primarily to prevent Lu Changqing and his group from stealing...

And this is what just happened.

Lu Changqing saw it all clearly.

The treasure fish also has sharp teeth in its mouth. It first deliberately crawled into the fishing net, then bit through the net and escaped, which can be considered a provocation.

Then, just as the man on Zhang's fishing boat raised his gun, he swiftly dove underwater, avoiding harm...

Now that it's spewing water, it's clearly another provocation!

"Why!"

Old Chen's initial excitement turned into indescribable frustration after seeing the Zhang family men's efforts fail. "Treasure fish, they really are hard to catch..."

On Wednesday, watching the precious fish still spitting water in the distance, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"

"Is this something an ordinary person like us can catch?"

Liu Shitou, with his large frame, stood side by side with Zhou San, both sighing.

The Zhao brothers were the same.

Several people, still unwilling to give up, continued chasing the precious fish from the Zhang family's fishing boat in the distance, only to be treated like dogs and led around...

The idea of ​​capturing it was completely abandoned.

"Brother Chen, you've been through so much..." Liu Shitou put down the knife in his hand and looked at Old Chen: "In all these years, have you ever seen an ordinary person like us catch a treasure fish?"

Old Chen was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said wistfully, "The only one I know was someone who got incredibly lucky. He found a fish that had just fainted at the dock."

"Besides, anyone who can catch a treasure fish is at least a level three martial artist... or they are fully equipped... We can't compare."

Liu Shitou gave a wry smile, his voice trembling, "I knew it..."

Lu Changqing remained silent throughout, but observed the movements of the precious fish...

It is still entangled with Zhang's fishing boat, which shows that this treasure fish has a "personality".

And he's rather arrogant...

Judging from ability...

At least for now, apart from being larger than ordinary fish and having teeth, it doesn't seem to pose any threat.

It is far inferior to the demon fish.

As for speed...

Lu Changqing recalled the fastest speed he had ever tried in the water a few nights ago...

With a burst of speed, it could catch up to this treasure fish...

After making a comprehensive assessment, he took a deep breath, stopped looking at the river, and turned to look at Old Chen.

"Brother Chen, turn around."

"Keep fishing."

Upon hearing this, Old Chen remained silent and obediently did as instructed.

On Wednesday, he sighed heavily and went to pull up the fishing nets, preparing to change them.

Liu Shitou then asked Lu Changqing, "Brother Lu, aren't you tempted by the treasure fish?"

Lu Changqing chuckled and replied, "If we can't have something, why do we still pursue it so persistently? Isn't that just creating more trouble for ourselves?"

Liu Shitou was taken aback after hearing this, but after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it made a lot of sense, and his admiration for Lu Changqing grew even stronger.

"Brother Lu, you're not only capable."

"Their intellect and temperament are far superior to ours..."

On Wednesday, she snapped, "What right do you have to talk nonsense here!"

"Come help us pull up the net!"

Liu Shitou made two "oh" sounds and hurried over.

"Damn it! I can't catch it!"

As Lu Changqing and his group's boat moved further and further away, they could still hear the angry, frustrated curses of the leading man on the Zhang family's boat behind them, a man who was both dissatisfied and helpless.

"That bastard, there's no way he can be caught!!"

"I'd rather not have seen it at all!"

"What a waste of time and energy!"

"..."

"..."

After hearing the curses, Lao Chen and the others laughed and chatted with each other, gloating over the misfortune.

Lu Changqing didn't participate; his mind was preoccupied with how to proceed tonight...

...

...

night.

The moonlight was bright and clear.

Ripples occasionally appeared on the water's surface, creating a serene atmosphere.

"Splash!"

Lu Changqing surfaced from the water, creating a splash, then determined his direction and swam towards the area where the treasure fish had been during the day.

This requires less effort than sinking completely to the bottom.

soon.

Lu Changqing arrived at the place where he had met Baoyu during the day.

Looking around, there was nothing to be found on the surface of the river.

So he immediately dived into the water and swam downstream.

As time went by.

Three to five minutes passed.

Lu Changqing descended at least tens of meters.

This depth is much greater than the waters near the dock and shore.

Lu Changqing could clearly feel that his physical strength was being depleted faster.

While calculating the time in his mind, he descended another few meters.

Sudden.

In the dim underwater vision, a faint blue light suddenly appeared.

Lu Changqing is now close to the bottom of the water!

About three to five meters away from him, in the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, grew a strange blue grass that was as long as a baby's arm!

What surprised and delighted him even more was...

The precious fish I met in the afternoon was circling around this strange grass, playing and frolicking with another precious fish that was entirely blue!

These are, two treasure fish?

And there's also a precious plant?

Double happiness!
