Chapter 31 Testing
The next period of time was calm.

Jiang Yao always chose daytime as the time for fishing. With his amazing fishing skills, he would only come back empty-handed occasionally, but most of the time, he would have a good catch.

Generally speaking, any fish caught by cheating are not small in size, weighing at least six or seven kilograms.

Of course, there are fish that bite the hook normally, but these fish basically weigh one or two kilograms or three kilograms. Most of the time, Jiang Yao is too lazy to sell them and just takes them home to eat directly.

His fishing gear, which was as simple as it could be, had long been replaced by cannons.

It cost him nearly a hundred yuan. He had already prepared not only the sea rod and fishing reel, but also the scoop net and fishing gear bag.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. After changing the fishing gear, it was obviously much easier for Jiang Yao to catch a big fish.

After a month, he earned at least seven or eight hundred yuan just by selling fish, even if he didn't make a thousand.

He gave his mother Yuan Xiuhua three hundred yuan, telling her to rest more and not to drag a cart to the street to sell vegetables every day.

Unfortunately, what he said was of no use at all.

Yuan Xiuhua smiled and said she was saving money for her son to get married. Early the next morning, she pulled her cart to the street as usual.

Jiang Yao had no way to deal with this.

The legs are on his mother's body. As a son, he can't tie Yuan Xiuhua up and not let her go out!
Except for some discussion at the beginning, Wang Dahai's death soon died down and never caused any waves again.

Even Bingzai and Gouzi only stayed at home for a few days, then went back to the dance hall every day and resumed their previous life.

Jiang Yao fishes during the day to make money, and at night, when he is bored and idle, he occasionally goes to the dance hall with Bingzai and his friends to hang out for a few laps.

In addition, he went to Carpenter Xu in Mawan Village several times.

It is true that Carpenter Xu has a strange temper, but after getting to know him better, Jiang Yao has gained a better understanding of his character.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu..."

Carrying more than a pound of bulk liquor and a dozen yuan worth of braised dishes, Jiang Yao's bicycle had just stopped in front of Carpenter Xu's door. He opened his voice and shouted at the shabby earthen house with its door open.

In terms of age, Carpenter Xu is fully qualified to be Jiang Yaodu’s grandfather.

But a few days ago, after Jiang Yao accompanied him to drink two glasses of wine, he got drunk and actually pulled Jiang Yao, insisting on burning yellow paper with him to become sworn brothers.

Fortunately, Carpenter Xu was in a daze and did not find any yellow paper at home, otherwise, the two of them might have really become sworn brothers that night.

Ever since that incident, Carpenter Xu was changed from Master Xu to Brother Xu in Jiang Yao's mouth.

The reason for changing the address was mainly because Jiang Yao felt that calling him Brother Xu was a little more intimate than calling him Master Xu.

As for Carpenter Xu, perhaps he still had some vague memories of the sworn brotherhood, so when Jiang Yao called him Brother Xu, he didn't object, which meant he agreed.

"You kid, you haven't come to my house for two days. What delicious food did you bring today?"

Carpenter Xu's limping figure appeared at the door of the earthen house. When he saw Jiang Yao, his eyes lit up.

He waved at Jiang Yao and greeted him with a smile.

"I didn't bring anything, just some pig ears and some peanuts or something like that!"

Jiang Yao shook the plastic bag of braised food in his hand and strode into Carpenter Xu's house without any hesitation.

Over the past month, he has visited Carpenter Xu seven or eight times.

At first, Carpenter Xu was very cold to him.

If there were any gifts, he would just accept them. Without saying a word to Jiang Yao, he would find an excuse to chase him away.

When he came back later, Jiang Yao had learned his lesson. He didn't bring anything else but some white wine and snacks. He parked his bike in front of Carpenter Xu's house, but he didn't even go in. He just sat on the back of the bike, drinking and eating meat by himself.

After he did this, Carpenter Xu, who was addicted to alcohol, couldn't sit still anymore.

Jiang Yao didn't even need to do anything. He would smile and politely invite Jiang Yao into the house, and then take the opportunity to drink some wine.

It is true that he has some abilities, but if he is unlucky, he may not be able to perform rituals for others until several months later.

The little money he earned from performing a ritual was not enough for him to buy alcohol on a daily basis.

When he had no money in his pocket, he would not try to get money. He would just lie down at home. Only when he was really hungry would he run out to eat and drink.

Having identified Carpenter Xu's weakness, Jiang Yao drank with him for a few times, and the two naturally became familiar with each other and their relationship became closer.

"Brother Jiang, come on, let's have a drink."

"Early this morning, the two magpies in front of the door kept chirping. I knew that you would definitely come to my place today, brother."

"To tell you the truth, I haven't eaten a single grain of rice the whole day. I only drank two bowls of water when I was hungry. I'm just waiting for your delicious food and wine to feed my stomach!"

……

After a few drinks, Carpenter Xu's face was already red and his neck was thick.

The more he looked at Jiang Yao in front of him, the more he liked him. If he didn't know that he was a grown man, he might have sat directly in Jiang Yao's arms at this moment.

"Brother Xu, what happened to the matter I mentioned last time?"

Seeing that Carpenter Xu seemed a little bit dizzy, Jiang Yao opened his mouth tentatively and asked.

In terms of alcohol tolerance, he is actually quite average. At this moment, he was still able to stay sober, mainly because when he was toasting with Carpenter Xu, the other drank it in one gulp, while he just lightly touched the cup with his lips.

"What's the matter? We are brothers, don't be so formal with me, just tell me if you have something to say. As your brother, I will definitely not refuse to do anything I can do!"

When Carpenter Xu was awake, his face would instantly turn red as soon as Jiang Yao mentioned that he wanted to learn skills from him.

But now, he was a little drunk and his chest was pounding.

"I knew that you, Brother Xu, are a straightforward person. Let's not hide anything."

"The last time you performed a ritual on me, can you teach me that move?"

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yao asked.

His golden finger had been awakened for more than a month, and he had only encountered a disaster once, and obtained a secret technique as a reward.

With the help of the secret art of possessing someone, he did make some money, but it was just a small amount of money, which made his life a little more affluent.

Human greed is endless. Jiang Yao would definitely not be satisfied with just acquiring the secret skill of possessing a person.

Although the era he lived in was still somewhat chaotic, disasters were not something that were so easy to encounter.

Going out into the streets and causing trouble might bring disaster, but it was not clear whether the light curtain panel would recognize such a disaster. If he really got into trouble, Jiang Yao had no confidence that he could get through it safely.

After thinking it over, he still felt that it would be more reliable to provoke that kind of evil thing and then resolve it.

Of course, the prerequisite for him to do this is to first learn some skills from Carpenter Xu, so that when he encounters that kind of existence, he will have some way to deal with it.

In this way, Jiang Yao can feel more at ease, and it can also avoid him getting into trouble with that kind of thing and dying before he can resolve it.
