When leaving, grandpa grabbed Gao Peng and whispered, "Don't dislike Shaotang, he is also doing it for your own good."
"No, how could I dislike Uncle Liu?" Gao Peng said quickly.
"Well... Times were not as good as they are now. Shaotang's family originally had two younger sisters. But there was a famine that year. After one winter, Shaotang's family was left with his only son. "Ji Hanwu sighed.
Gao Peng suddenly didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that Uncle Liu, who always seemed so kind, had such a past.
"You have to eat more. Eat more to be nutritious and not hungry... It's always right to eat more. Being able to eat is a blessing." Uncle Liu's smiling words echoed to Gao Peng. ear.
"I understand." Gao Peng nodded silently.
Leaving the north of Yuzhou City, we passed Shanling Station on the way.
Gao Peng just glanced at Ah Ban's back from a distance, but did not go in to visit.
Monster hunting teams can be seen from time to time in the Shanling Inn along the way. Most of these monster hunting teams are walking in a hurry and look extremely crowded.
Occasionally, we can hear their hearty and cheerful laughter in the mountains and forests, which is the joy of another great harvest.
At least everything is developing in a good direction, Gao Peng thought silently in his heart.
After all, humans are extremely adaptable creatures and the most capable of creating miracles.
The million-dollar mountain occupied by the mountain spirit has been completely cleared. It may be a bit too arrogant to call it a back garden, but Gao Peng can walk in it with his eyes closed without any problem.
After leaving the Million Mountains, we continued westwards for hundreds of kilometers, passing by a rushing river.
The turbid red river surged, with eddies swirling on the water.
Red sand river.
Dumb recognized this river, and the flames of the undead flashed fiercely in his eyes.
"Now that you're all here, go take a look at your tribe." Gao Peng said to Ah-Dai.
Dui was a little moved, but the soles of his feet seemed to have taken root deep into the ground.
"Go, go and see it and then come back. After all, you were their king." Gao Peng encouraged it.
Dui tilted his head and shouted twice in confusion. Then he nodded to Gao Peng and left with a few leaps on Ah Ban's back.
Deep in the forest, a group of red water monkeys live freely.
There are vines hanging down from the towering old trees, and the woods are cheerful and peaceful.
A two-meter-long red scale hangs from a big tree in the middle. The aura emitted from the red scale drives away the natural enemies of the Red Water River Ape.
A female ape was sitting in a tree, holding a baby ape and feeding him. A monkey next to her put a melon rind on her head and threw feces at other red water river apes. There was another burst of chickens and dogs, and several red water river apes started chasing and fighting.
Dui watched this scene silently, looking a little crazy.
... ...
Dozens of small boats were sailing in the fast red river. There were three people standing on each small boat. Some were steering, some were spreading small nets, and others were assisting.
"Hurry up, Third Brother, hurry up." The big man with a cigarette in his mouth shouted loudly while controlling the steering wheel of the ship.
"Don't rush them. These fish are very good. It would be bad if they scare them away." The young man known as Lao San was wearing a red jacket and shirt with a white vest underneath. He looked powerful.
"I'd say just use a gold wire hook net to catch all these fish. There's no need to go to such trouble." The only boy with short hair in the team said nonchalantly.
"This is not okay. According to Lord River God's rules, we cannot use those large nets and can only use small net bags to catch fish. If we violate the rules set by Lord River God, we will be banned."
"The first place will be rewarded with Lord River God's scales. The shipyards in Lizhou City are buying Lord River God's scales. I heard that the last scale Chen Xiaoliang obtained was sold for one million alliance coins."
"what is that!?"
The huge Aban attracted the attention of everyone present when passing by the shore.
The big man who was steering the rudder was startled. He had never seen such a big monster before.
"That's a mountain, right?"
"There seems to be a house on the back of the mountain, and it seems like there are people up there."
Ah Ban, which is sixty meters high, looks like a small hill to these people.
The spectators cheering for these players on the shore could not help but open their mouths, gaping at Aban's huge size.
This is the first time many people have encountered such a terrifying monster in their lives.
The river suddenly rolled, layers of red water waves surging upward, and a ship drifted helplessly in the waves, being rocked further.
Then a large piece of red land surfaced from the bottom of the water. Its bright red scales were as smooth as a mirror, rising slowly like a small island from the middle of the river...
"River God!"
"It's Lord River God!"
"Lord River God has appeared."
Everyone on the shore prayed one after another, and some older people even knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
In this remote place, the dragon-blooded red sand carp that protects Yifang Base City has been regarded as a river god and is worshiped and respected by the locals.
The dragon blood red sand carp noticed a powerful aura passing near the red sand river in its territory, so it couldn't help but surface from the depths of the river bottom to sacrifice its true body.
It was both a warning that there was already a master here, and also a curiosity about the identity of the aura master.
"Hello!" Gao Peng sat on Ah Ban's back and greeted the dragon blood red sand carp with a smile.
The dragon blood red sand carp looked at Gao Peng, not sure if he understood, and vomited two bubbles before retreating to the bottom of the river.
Soon people from Lizhou Base City came to meet Gao Peng.
"It turns out that His Excellency the Undead Natural Disaster is here." The receptionist who came was in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance and a gentle temper.
"I was just passing by, I hope I didn't disturb your game." Gao Peng said apologetically.
"No, no, it's their honor for you to watch their game." The receptionist said quickly.
"What are they doing?" Gao Peng was still a little curious.
"They are holding a fishing king competition, using small nets and net bags to catch fish in the Red Sand River. The champion will be determined based on the final weight. The champion will receive an old scale rewarded by the Carp King." The receptionist said.
"Is there still such an event? How many times has it been held?" Gao Peng felt it was very novel.
It's really interesting that it's actually a competition organized by monsters and humans.
"It's just for fun. This is the second time. It is held every month. The first time was just last month."
Gao Peng nodded and glanced at the dozens of boats on the river. If this competition can continue, maybe it will become a local custom and tradition in a few decades or hundreds of years, right
Those customs and traditions passed down orally evolved slowly in this way.
This is just a game I saw. There may be more stories unfolding in places I didn’t see.
Gao Peng smiled, watched the game for a while, then said goodbye to the receptionist and continued heading west.
Lizhou is just a part of the scenery on this journey, and the real end is still waiting for him ahead. 8)
