Lei Heng sighed and stepped forward and forced the pearl into Shui Sheng's hand. Seeing that he was stubborn and refused, he hurriedly explained, "If you want to marry, you can't use this place as a new house. Take this bead as a betrothal gift, and the extra ten gold will be asked to help you buy a house in the county town. Nowadays, ordinary houses in the county town are only about 30,000 yuan (three golds), and slightly better ones are only 40,000-80,000 yuan. By the way, buy a few acres of land for your couple to live.

You are hard to catch fish and have low income. You have to pay attention to the weather. You can't let your wife and children suffer with you, so come and help me with work, don't be a slave, just like... like a yamen runner, you can just go to work. I will take 30% of your monthly salary as paying off your debts and collecting ten golds. I will be happy in this way."

Lei Heng said it out loud, thinking that the conditions were generous enough, this guy should agree happily.

Shui Sheng still lowered his head, and his eyes were still struggling.

"Damn it, let me give you some words of pleasure."

When Shui Sheng heard this, he nodded slightly, but soon turned his head to the point of rattle again.

"Can you finish your concerns and your conditions at one time? Brother..." Lei Heng was powerless to persuade him.

Shui Sheng murmured in a low voice: "How much is the monthly salary?"

Lei Heng replied: "2,000 yuan a month, even if you only get 70% of it, it will be enough for you and your couple to live."

Nowadays, the price of hiring workers in the yamen is about 1,500-2,000 yuan per month (no food and accommodation). The current price of millet (yellow rice) in Linjiang County is about 300 yuan per stone, and it only costs 30 yuan per person to eat a simple meal at a restaurant. Lei Heng's current source of income is only the case (pocket money) given by the county magistrate's father, and the goods given by his mother Feng occasionally, which is only 5,000 yuan per month. Lei Heng is willing to pay 2,000 yuan per month to hire aquatics, which is already a very high price.

"More than two, a total of four..." Shui Sheng's voice became even smaller.

"What, four people!" Lei Heng couldn't believe his ears, "Is it a widow you like, and two scoundrels!"

"Um."

Lei Heng was so impressed that he actually paid ten gold gifts to marry a widow with two children. Shui Sheng, what did your mind think?

"I am an orphan. I live to this day by relying on my water-like nature, fishing and shrimping. I thought I was miserable, but I didn't expect her to be even more miserable. Her father was an unscrupulous person. In order to repay the gambling debt, he sold her to another family as a child bride. She was only seven years old that year, and since then she suffered all the beatings and tortures from her husband's family, and even if she gave birth to Gemini, she had no change. Last year, her husband died of illness, and the husband's family thought she was vicious, so she threw her out alone. She was disappointed and wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide, but she saved her. Uh... During that... that... that... I promised her that she would definitely get Gemini for her, but her husband's family wanted..."

"But you want ten gold, right?" Lei Heng was both angry and ashamed when he heard this. Such a thing happened under his father's rule, which made the bad guys so rampant and made the good guys suffer all the hardships.

"It can be seen that you want this big turtle very much, even at 20 gold." Shui Sheng handed the big turtle to Lei Heng, "But she is alone, or three lives, and she is definitely more than ten gold, right?"

Lei Heng's mind was all about aquatic experiences. He subconsciously took the big turtle, then put it on the ground, and ordered the big white geese to go to fight.

"Why don't you report to the officials?"

"Report to the official? The government doesn't care about this kind of thing!" Shui Sheng smiled bitterly, "It has been like this since ancient times. Life is a husband's family, death is a ghost of the husband's family. What's more, her husband's family has a contract in hand, which is very reasonable. This is not the fault of the county master, and the county master is not convenient to force the separation and reunion."

"It's just so annoying!" Lei Heng defended.

"So what if I'm so angry? I originally wanted to sneak into my husband's house and steal her two children and fly away with her. But there was no way to join the countryside, and there was no land. After leaving this river, I couldn't support the three of them, mother and son!"

"So, you risk catching pearls and turtles, and try to make as much money as possible..."

Shui Sheng laughed at himself: "Are there any other way I can do it?"

"How about I ask my father to send a few servants to accompany you to negotiate." Lei Heng was worried that the Shuisheng people would be bullied again.

Shui Sheng hesitated for a while and finally nodded with emphasis.

Finally convinced this stubborn person, Lei Heng let out a long sigh and turned his attention to the big turtle. I went, and Lei Heng was stunned as soon as he turned his eyes.

The big white goose actually had several feathers bitten by the big turtle. In contrast, the big turtle could not see any scars on its body.

"Are you embarrassed? The turtle that has been hungry for several days can't beat it." Lei Heng couldn't help but flatter the big white goose.

"You try it. This guy seemed to be slow, and suddenly attacked like lightning. As soon as I was about to launch an attack, it shrank into the turtle shell. I had no choice but to do it!" The big white goose jumped out of the battle circle and began to scream.

"Young Master, are you talking to the white goose?" Shui Sheng saw Lei Heng and the white goose say something, and I said with a harsh look, and I couldn't help asking curiously.

"Uh..." Lei Heng was not sure whether to tell the reason of the water, or to be precise, he did not find a slightly appropriate excuse, which did not reveal the secrets of the system, and could also perfectly explain everything that happened.

Seeing Lei Heng's speech was insane, Shui Sheng turned to himself: "I have heard that some hunters and fishermen can recognize the words and deeds of animals, and some spirit beasts can also understand human commands. It seems that these rumors are probably true."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lei Heng quickly followed Shui Sheng's words, "Shui Sheng, do you have a way to make this stupid goose defeat the big turtle?"

Shui Sheng thought for a moment and said, "This big turtle moves more rapidly than ordinary turtles, but it is not without its shortcomings. It is easy to turn in the water, but it is not possible on land. The easiest and direct way is to sneak attack around the back and take the opportunity to kick it with four legs facing the sky..."

"Yes! Big stupid goose, just do what he said!"

"Who is stupid? You are stupid, your whole family is stupid!" The big white goose jumped with her feet in anger. "I can't even understand what he said, so what should I do?"

"Don't you understand what he said?" Lei Heng was surprised and asked the system quietly, "What's going on?"

(Sacred Persuasion): Most pets can only understand the instructions of their owners, unless they are special pets such as orangutans, dogs, cats, parrots, dolphins, etc., so that they can understand the instructions of multiple people.

So that's it, Lei Heng had to repeat the words of Shui Sheng.

The big white goose now understood and began to walk around behind the big turtle step by step.

But the big turtle is not stupid either. When he saw the monster that had been fighting with him just now, he turned behind him and quickly exerted his strength with all his legs, and made a defensive posture in the face of the big white goose.

Seeing that the big white goose was on guard, the front attack would definitely not work, so they had to suddenly accelerate and run, trying to rush forward to the big turtle to shoot a volley from the back before it reacted.

The big turtle quickly adjusted its position.

The big white goose was discovered when she saw this, so she quickly trotted and accelerated... The big turtle immediately jumped in the direction...

A goose and a turtle just circled like this, but the big turtle almost circled in place, while the big white geese were circled around.

After countless rounds, the big turtle's movements began to slow down. The big white goose seized the opportunity, ran closer, and then flew up and kicked the big turtle's abdomen.

The big white goose wanted to use the big turtle as a ball, but it didn't have much strength at first, so it ran around again after a fight. It was so tired.

The big turtle was just kicked and fell on its back. It scratched its four feet hard, but it could not turn over and come back.

Lei Heng saw the time and went forward to open it (Sacred Persuasion).

"Be my little brother, I will eat shrimps and crabs every time, and I will ask you to find an opportunity to take revenge in the future."

(System): (Sacred Persuasion) Bug has been fixed. The skill experience will no longer be deducted from the death of a pet. As compensation, after the pet wins the battle, the chance of taming will be increased to 100%. After three times, it will return to normal levels.

(Sacred Persuasion): Successful taming. Big Turtle (elite), 40#4, attack power 9-20, wisdom sensitivity 4.

(Sacred Persuasion): 5 kinds of pets (geese, snake, shrimp, crab, turtle), skill level 2, skill experience 85/200.

"I'm hungry...I'm sleepy...I'm thirsty..."

Lei Heng finally heard the big turtle's cry and quickly asked Shuisheng to find some shrimps and crabs. He found a wooden barrel filled with water, so he let the big turtle go around.

"How do you plan to resettle this guy?" Seeing Lei Heng's nervous look, Dabaie was a little worried about the status of the king of the other courtyard.

"Why are you so low in your pursuit? There are only a few chickens and ducks in other courtyards in your eyes?" Lei Heng immediately understood the big white goose's idea. "You both can fight amphibiously, and it's my right-hand man. If you are the king in other courtyards, the river water is the place where the big turtle is used!"

The big white goose nodded and said, "Kang Kang... the world is so big, I want to go and see it too!"

"Haha... take you there! take you there!"

"This guy is afraid he's going to sleep for a while, and your treasure hunting plan has to be postponed again!"

"Forget it, you're tired too, so you're on a long vacation. Come and search for treasure tomorrow." Lei Heng was rarely so generous.

"Kang Kang...Ouye..."

After Shui Sheng brought the shrimps and crabs back and threw them to the big turtle for a full meal, Lei Heng picked up the big white goose, Shui Sheng carried the bag and rushed back to the other courtyard together.

As for the big turtle, after confirming that there were no natural enemies nearby, Lei Heng put it back into the river and told it to hide it carefully.

************************************

The two of them took the nearest road to the other courtyard. When they reached the back street, they encountered a group of servants fighting for the autumn wind.

The so-called autumn wind is not really about whipping the autumn wind, but about this group of people relying on their status as a traitor, cheating and extorting money in the name of the court.

Lei Heng knew that the leader was the captain Zhao Hu, and all the people present were his servants and handled the matter.

Lei Heng signaled the big white goose to lead the water to take the luggage and take a step forward, and then take a look here and then chase after him.

Zhao Hu sat on the bench and said slowly: "Old Man Li, you have been owed half a year's money. You must pay it today, otherwise your brothers won't go back to pay the job empty-handed!"

Old Man Li cried with a sad face and cried: "Thu Ye, the old man made some hard money from this mill. He has always been law-abiding and has never owed various tax payments. But he has never heard of any other money he has to pay..."

Zhao Hu sneered: "It didn't happen before, but it doesn't mean it won't happen again. This example of money was also granted by the court. If you don't pay it, it's a confrontation with the court. Are you going to rebel?"

"Young man must not dare! But most shops on the street did not pay this case, why do you have to pay the money alone?..." Old Man Li was so scared that he knelt in front of Zhao Hu and begged for mercy, "There is no announcement from the county government. I believe that if the county master knows it, he will understand the good people like us!"

"This matter was escorted by the county magistrate's office, and the county magistrate personally agreed. If you have any questions, go to the county magistrate and go to Jiangzhou!" Zhao Hu smiled and continued impatiently, "Pay the money quickly, the man has to go back and hand in the office!"

Lei Heng was so angry when he heard this. Damn, I used my father's name to extort the people. You can take the blame, and I will take the blame for my father and son!

Lei Heng couldn't help but rush forward to stop him, but he was worried that he was weak and could not help but hesitate for a while, comforting himself and then checking the situation.
