Chapter 244 Hanging Cambridge

"Auspicious beasts like jiao have been connected to the luck of a county's mountains and rivers since they crossed the catastrophe and turned into jiao. Xiaoqing is no exception." Chi Qiaosong said proudly.

Xiaoqing is his most important companion—not a pet.

Ren Qiongdan turned his eyes away from the small green scales and asked, "Boss, what should we do with this Songshan Lord?"

"Keep half of it for my family to eat, and cut the other half evenly. I will give it away later." This Songshan king is very big, and it would be a waste if it is used to fertilize the field.

It's better to keep it for eating, or it's more suitable to give it as a gift.

Ren Qiongdan did as he did, and took Xiao Zhi to start disposing of Mr. Songshan's body—in addition to edible meat, Mr. Songshan also had a valuable fur.Although this fur cannot be made into fur, it can be woven into wool and a sweater, which is absolutely warm.

the other side.

Chi Qiaosong took Xiaoqing to the edge of the pond.

Under Xiaozhi's continuous excavation, which is as efficient as an excavator, the pond has formed a circular channel surrounding the pine garden. The water level of the channel is not low as the mountain stream keeps storing water.

"Xiaoqing, go into the water and try."

"Moo."

Xiaoqing probed the water with her tail, and then drew it back quickly.

It has been afraid of water since it was a child, but Ikehashisong always felt that Jiao should be hydrophilic: "It's okay, try again, soak your tail in the water, and slowly feel the water flow."

According to legend, Jiao is a dragon that can cause floods.

When they are young, they will inhabit the bottom of ponds and rivers. This type of Jiao is generally called Qianjiao.When the jiao cultivates and grows up, it will go along the river to the sea to transform into a dragon. This kind of jiao is called walking jiao.

When walking on the Jiao, floods will damage the river and bridges on the river.

Therefore, in order to protect the bridge, the ancients would hang a sword at the bottom of the bridge-this bridge is called Hanging Cambridge, and this sword is called Zhanlongjian, so as to prevent the bridge from being destroyed by walking dragons.

From Chi Qiaosong's point of view, Xuan Cambridge may not be aimed at Jiaolong, after all, Jiaolong is too rare.

Maybe the Hanging Bridge is just the ancient people's helpless response to the flood, hoping that a sword can stop the flood and prevent the hard-built bridge from being washed away.

but.

In any case, according to old legends, Jiao is compatible with water.

Xiaoqing flinched a little: "Moo."

Chi Qiaosong insisted on letting it go into the water: "Come on, Xiaoqing, I'll go into the water first and you follow. As a dragon, how can you be afraid of water? Your mother survived the calamity and transformed into a dragon in Pengli Lake."

With Ikehashisong's constant encouragement, Xiaoqing finally overcomes her fear.

It soaked its tail into the pond. After a while, it felt that the water was not scary, so it soaked its whole body in the water, only its big head was exposed.

"Moo."

"Is it cool to soak in water in summer?" Ikehashi Song also soaked in the pond.

Because it is a mountain stream with running water, the pond has been built around the river, so the water quality is very clear, and it has not been polluted by chickens, ducks and geese into dirty water.

He started to swim along the river, not fast enough for Xiaoqing to clumsily swim behind him.

However, Xiaoqing is an auspicious beast after all. After a while, he can hold his breath and dive in the water. He even learned to swim with the water without a teacher, just like swimming with the breath on the shore.

With a hula, you can swim around the river.

The more he traveled, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help opening his mouth to growl again, making a deafening cow cry: "Moo!"

"Okay, okay, stop barking." Chi Qiaosong hugged its neck and closed its mouth. "If you keep barking, the chickens, ducks and geese in the yard will stop laying eggs."

Xiaoqing nodded obediently.

When Chi Qiao loosened his hand, it plunged into the water, and the next moment, it bit a fat black crucian carp, hung it by its mouth, and proudly showed off at Chi Qiao.

"Okay, you will catch fish yourself now, but be careful, don't eat all the black crucian carp, and keep some for it to breed. This is in line with sustainable development."

Xiaoqing chewed the black crucian carp and swallowed it: "Moo."

Then it plunged into the water again and grabbed another fat black crucian carp. In just a short moment, it caught ten black crucian carp in a row and ate them happily.

Only then did I leave the pond and go ashore under Chi Qiaosong's staring gaze.

...

...

...

"Xiao Song, have you been fired?" Mother Chi asked in a panic.

When Ikehashi Song went to Qingxiangjiayuan Community for dinner at night, the news that he and the leaders of several other units had been dismissed and fired had already spread.

He didn't hide it: "Well, I didn't go to the new governor's meeting, and I was killed by him as an example."

Mother Chi was very worried: "Oh, how could this be good? Why did you get fired? Why didn't you go to the meeting? It's okay to be fired by the county governor."

Father Chi was smoking the ever-changing dry cigarette, frowned and said, "Okay, don't worry about it, Xiaosong won't go to the meeting, there must be a reason for not going."

The second uncle asked: "Xiao Song, why don't you go to the meeting?"

The whole family looked over.

Chi Qiaosong said: "The new governor is a member of the Ou faction. As a local warrior, the necessary attitude must be expressed...Parents, don't worry about me, these are trivial matters."

The sister-in-law was speechless: "Is this still a trivial matter?"

In their view, the county magistrate is the biggest king in Mokan County, and offending the county magistrate is definitely a big deal.

Ikehashi Song smiled: "Although the new governor landed in Mokan County by air, the ownership of Mokan County has not yet been determined, and everything is uncertain. Of course, it is a trivial matter for our family. At worst, we can move and go anywhere Have a good time."

Father Chi nodded: "You are a warrior, and we are all ordinary people, so we can't help you much, but we will definitely listen to you and not hold you back."

"I see."

Afterwards, the family didn't mention Chi Qiaosong's dismissal again.

After dinner, the second uncle asked Chi Qiaosong to take him to practice martial arts for a while—even though he didn't go to Chijiashan often, the second uncle still practiced martial arts for an hour every day.

He is very obsessed with martial arts, and always wants to reach the level of wrestlers.

Ikehashi Song also continued to encourage: "Second Uncle, if you continue to practice like this, within a year or two, I guarantee that you will be able to become a wrestler. You are much more determined than my father and uncle."

If there is no heart for martial arts, even if you eat phoenix seeds, you will not be able to practice any tricks.

Only the second uncle is like this, practicing martial arts firmly, day and night, and eating phoenix seeds to improve his qualifications, can he hope to break the shackles of time and seize a chance.

"With your words, Second Uncle, I will definitely stick to it. Let alone, I practice for an hour every day, and my body is now much better than before."

"That's natural."

"I went to Chijia Mountain to climb the mountain, and I could climb from the foot of the mountain to the top in one breath, without resting in the middle."

Ikehashi Song said with a smile: "If you persist, you will definitely gain something. I think this sentence is perfect for you, Second Uncle."

The second uncle wiped the sweat from his brow, and said with a chuckle: "When your second uncle and I are promoted, your second aunt must not be frightened. This old woman gave birth to me two big fat boys, and now my nose is up to the sky. I."

"I think it's Second Uncle, you are willing to be ordered by Second Aunt."

"When she is out of confinement, I won't be used to her."

After the second uncle finished speaking, he stretched his head and glanced at the inner room, and said embarrassingly: "Do you still have the honey for your Golden Wing Envoy? Your second aunt has been feeling bored these days, so she wants to drink some honey water."

"Yes, I will put it in the third uncle's room later, and you can go and get it yourself."

"okay."

The second uncle was overjoyed, he was really kind to the second aunt.

Suddenly he thought of something again, and said, "Your third uncle is blessed, Zhao Hongzhen has agreed to get the certificate, but Xiaosong, after your third uncle gets married, will you still let him live in the house at the foot of the mountain?"

"what happened?"

"I think what your father means is to arrange a job for your third uncle in the county, so that he won't be allowed to guard the mountain. He is afraid that he will drag his family with him now and easily reveal the secrets of the mountain."
