C12 Water Tank
Lin Tian did not quite understand why his father gave all the leeches to Lin Gui.
He knew that his father was a good person. He usually gave the villagers a lot of benefits and was often the one who suffered a loss.
Although Lin Gui was the one who helped him get the leeches down, he didn't need to give all the leeches to him.
It wasn't easy for Lin Tian to catch these leeches with his own body, and he even had a lot of blood sucked out of him.
The price of leeches was so high. He should think of a way to get more leeches in the swamp and dry them before selling them in pharmacies. He would earn as much as he could.
His father couldn't say anything.
Lin Guoming looked at Lin Gui's departing figure and said faintly, "It wasn't easy for Ah Gui. His wife was paralyzed for a few years, and he was the only one who managed things at home. Leeches have a certain therapeutic effect on paralysis. It is a very critical medicine. Ah Gui must have given it to his wife to eat."
So that was how it was. Everyone finally understood.
Lin Gui was also a poor man. Before this, Lin Tian did not know the situation in his family. Hearing his father say this, he understood what he was doing.
Lin Tian was not a stingy person. Since they were from the same hometown, he would help if he could.
It was just a few leeches. After selling these peanuts, the money was much more than this.
After getting rid of the leeches on his body, Lin Tian took a deep breath and could finally stand up.
Wang Cuijuan's heart ached as she said, "It's almost lunchtime. Let's go home. Tian, your wound needs to be treated to prevent infection."
Then, she turned to Bai Ling and said, "Bai Ling, tell your parents to have lunch at my house."
Bai Ling nodded. This was already a habit. If she helped Lin Tian that day, she would eat at his house.
They hastily packed up the tools and things in the ground. Before they left, they did not forget to bring the fish back.
They had caught six fish, which were still alive and kicking in the water, and since neither of the buckets could hold them, they picked up two of the smaller ones and carried them back in their baskets.
"Mom, we cooked one fish at noon."
After Lin Tian finished instructing his mother, he handed the other basket to Bai Ling.
"I'll bring this fish home for you. This is the reward for helping us with our work. Don't think it's too little!"
Bai Ling smiled helplessly.
She had always worked for Lin Tian's family whenever she was free, and she had never asked for any reward. At most, she would bring a few handfuls of peanuts back.
Every time she returned home after helping out, she would be scolded by her parents, telling her not to be so stupid as to always work for others for free.
This time, there was a big fish that could probably shut their sarcastic mouths.
She said goodbye to Lin Tian. First, she took the fish home and took a comfortable bath. Then, she came to Lin Tian's house for dinner and went back to work in the afternoon.
After returning home, the first thing Lin Tian thought about was how to deal with the fish.
Wang Cuijuan was a little distressed.
"There aren't that many buckets at home. I can't even fill them with clothes. I'm afraid the buckets are too small and will die if I keep them."
Lin Tian pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said, "Mom, didn't you wash the water tank last time? Put these fish in the water tank and raise them. It will definitely be enough."
Wang Cuijuan patted her forehead and suddenly came to a realization.
"Yes! I'll empty the water tank and put the fish in."
Lin Guoming smiled.
"Alright, mother, take sister to take a bath. Her entire body is covered in mud. Tian, you also need to wash your feet. Use iodine to treat your wounds. I'll go and put the fish in."
Lin Tian really wanted to go and get the fish, but he couldn't stand his mother's nagging and quickly went to wash his feet.
After washing his feet, he went to the medicine box and took out iodine to wipe his wounds.
However, he found that his wound was almost healed, leaving only a few small black scars.
He thought about how he had slept in the Bead Space last night and absorbed a lot of Spirit Energy. That must be why his wounds healed so quickly.
The Bead Space was too awesome, allowing his recovery ability to reach such a level.
After sighing for a while, he took out some iodine and casually applied it. It had some color, so he would be able to explain it to his family later.
When he heard his father killing fish in the kitchen, he walked straight to the yard and took a few handfuls of peanut vines from the basket.
He saw Lin Guoming move the water tank from the kitchen to the bottom of the Dragon Eye Tree in the yard.
There were two buckets beside the water tank. They were covered with lids to prevent the fish from jumping out.
Before Lin Tian even got close, he heard the sound of lids being slapped from the water tank and the buckets. From time to time, water would flow out from the cracks of the lids.
"Pa, pa, pa..."
"Dong, dong, dong..."
The corner of Lin Tian's mouth raised into a smile. These fish seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They were too fierce.
"Let me give you some more chicken blood."
He opened the lid, picked off the peanut leaves, and sprinkled them into the water tank and bucket.
When the peanut leaves fell into the water, the fish crazily swayed their bodies and swam toward the peanut leaves, and then crazily fought for food.
They ate all the peanuts that Lin Tian put in. Their speed was like a hungry wolf pouncing on a sheep.
After their struggle, more water spilled out of the water tank and bucket.
"Tsk tsk, I'm starving. Looks like I have to feed them more."
Lin Tian continued to sprinkle leaves until he finished picking all the peanut leaves. When he saw that the fish didn't seem to be able to eat any more, he stopped.
"Done. Let's see what you guys will become after a while."
He added more water to the water tank and bucket and covered them with the lid. Then, he squinted his eyes and looked at Xiaobao on the Dragon Eye Tree.
Xiaobao was lying on the tree, looking down at the fish in the water tank. It looked like it was going to eat them.
Lin Tian warned it, "Stinky short tail, let me tell you, don't think about eating these fish. If you perform well, I can even consider giving you the remaining fish bones for dinner. Don't think about anything else. "
With that, he hummed a tune and left in front of Xiaobao in a victorious manner.
Not long after, Wang Cuijuan and Lin Xiaoguo came out refreshed after taking a bath.
Lin Xiaoguo went to play with Xiaobao, and Wang Cuijuan also told her to keep an eye on Xiaobao and not let him steal the fish. This made Xiaobao, who wanted to do something bad, let out a desperate "meow."
Wang Cuijuan took Lin Guoming's cooking and told him to take a bath.
In the afternoon, they did not go to the fields so early to work. They ate and slept until the sun was not so hot.
Lin Tian returned to his room and absorbed the Spirit Energy in Bead Space.
Ever since he knew that staying in the space was beneficial to him, he chose to stay in the space when he rested.
It was only when Lin Xiaoguo knocked on his door and called him down to eat that Lin Tian came out of the Bead Space.
Before he even reached the bottom of the stairs, he could already smell a fragrance that assailed his nostrils.
"What is it that smells so good?"
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and speed up his pace. From afar, he could already see Lin Xiaoguo sitting at the dining table.
