Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Because it was still early, Chen Lang did not walk fast.

When he arrived at the river, it was just after noon and the sky in the east was slightly light.

Chen Lang took a wooden stick and kept hitting the water plants on the river bank.

The purpose is to drive away snakes hiding in the grass.

Chen Lang didn't know whether the snake was driven away, but several ducks were frightened by the sound of being hit with a stick and flew to the middle of the river.

Chen Lang happily accepted their eggs.

There are more than ten pieces, enough for Guoguo to eat for several days.

Go to the place where the fishing gear is hidden, find the fishing rod, put on the bait and start fishing.

The reason why I didn't move the needle was because I forgot to buy sorghum wine and millet yesterday. Without bait to lure the fish, the difficulty of moving the needle would be greatly increased.

So today I'm just not going to move the needle, and just go back to my old job and catch some fish and shrimp.

After pressing down the fishing rod with a large rock, Chen Lang began to walk slowly along the river bank, putting anything he came across that could be sold at a high price into a bamboo basket.

After walking for a while, Chen Lang suddenly realized that he was stupid.

The resources of Fuyang River are so rich, why did I only think of moving the needle?

Crab pots and other things can also be arranged!

Crab traps can not only catch crabs, but also loaches, eels and even small fish. Moreover, the bait is not complicated to make. Just cook soybeans with sugar, or use some animal offal.

Chen Lang took this matter to heart. When he arrived in the county town, he went to the fishing tackle store to ask if there were any crab cages for sale in the county town. If not, he would find a bamboo craftsman to make one for him.

In addition to crab traps, snake traps and duck traps can also be arranged.

Just do it!

Chen Lang used local materials and made three traps in areas where ducks frequently appeared.

Chen Lang learned the methods of making traps from the Internet. He had no place to experiment in the original time and space, but now he finally found a place to use them.

However, the snake trap made Chen Lang feel a little tricky.

Can snakes... be caught in traps?

In Chen Lang's memory, snake catchers in modern society would use large pliers to directly clamp the snake and then stuff it into a snakeskin bag. He seemed to have never seen anyone use traps to catch snakes.

No, in those videos on the Internet, many fishermen sometimes find snakes in their crab cages when they are collecting them.

"Then I'll make a better crab trap. Maybe I'll get something unexpected," Chen Lang thought. "Then I'll go find a blacksmith in the county and ask him to make me a pair of pliers specifically for catching snakes."

Chen Lang continued to move forward, and whenever he passed an area where ducks appeared, he would stop and set two traps.

By the time it was light, Chen Lang had made nearly twenty traps of various sizes, and had also picked up almost half a bamboo basket full of shrimps, crabs, and clams.

Just as Chen Lang was about to go to the official road to wait for a ride, a few red fruits in the grass caught his attention.

Chen Lang picked one, put it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully, and finally confirmed that it was a raspberry!

What a good thing!

This thing can not only be used as medicine, but can also be eaten raw after washing.

However, now is not the best season for eating raspberries. Chen Lang looked around, memorized the terrain here, and planned to come back to pick them when the raspberries are fully ripe.

Just as Chen Lang was about to leave, he suddenly heard a faint cry for help.

"Is there anyone who can help me..."

Chen Lang ran over following the sound and saw an old man slumped on the ground, sweating profusely, his face pale, and he looked extremely painful.

After seeing Chen Lang, the old man said tremblingly: "Young man, save me... I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Chen Lang walked up and asked, "Old man, where are you injured?"

The old man pointed at his calf tremblingly.

Chen Lang lifted up his trouser legs and found two small holes on his calves, from which blood was constantly flowing out.

"Snake bite? That's troublesome." Chen Lang frowned.

In this era without even serum, being bitten by a venomous snake would most likely result in death.

Moreover, even if there is serum, it is still impossible to cure the disease if you don’t know the type of venomous snake that bit you.

But the situation is critical now, and Chen Lang can only try his best to save the situation.

Following the method I learned from the Internet, I found two wooden sticks and tied them with cloth strips about five centimeters above the wound to slow down the time it takes for the snake venom to reach the heart.

Then he took out a tinder, heated the tip of the sickle, did some simple disinfection, and slowly cut open the wound caused by the snake bite.

Then he squeezed hard to squeeze out as much venom as possible from the wound.

Chen Lang did not use his mouth to suck out the snake venom as shown in the TV series, because this method is extremely stupid. Once there is a wound in the mouth, the person who uses his mouth to suck out the snake venom will die before the person who is bitten.

Chen Lang had no intention of sacrificing his own life while saving others.

After completing this process, the old man's breathing became much calmer. He said with difficulty, "Young man, go pick two snake green grasses."

Chen Lang was stunned: "What snake grass? I've never heard of it."

The old man briefly described the appearance of the snake grass and said, "Wherever poisonous snakes are found, there must be snake grass that can detoxify them within seven steps. Go find it quickly."

Chen Lang scratched his head, thinking that this theory was a bit ridiculous. However, as long as it could save people, he had to give it a try, no matter how ridiculous the method was.

According to the old man's description, Chen Lang actually found a few so-called "snake green grass".

"Old man, I found it." Chen Lang said, "And then?"

"Chew it up and apply it on my wound." The old man's voice became weak again.

Chen Lang did as he was told, but the snake grass was so bitter that he almost vomited it.

This was the first time in Chen Lang's two lives that he had experienced such bitterness. Compared to it, the bitterness of life seemed insignificant.

He endured the bitterness and chewed the snake grass into a paste, then carefully applied it to the old man's wound.

"Now, send me off... off..."

The old man fainted in the middle of his words.

Chen Lang was very anxious and asked, "Old man, where are you going?"

"Pingzhilin..."

After the old man finished speaking, his head tilted and he became motionless.

Chen Lang stretched out his hand tremblingly to check his breath. Fortunately, he just fainted, not dead.

Pingzhilin is a medical clinic in the county town with a very good reputation.

Chen Lang carried the old man on his back and ran towards the official road like crazy.

It was fortunate that the old man was lucky enough to die. As soon as Chen Lang arrived on the official road, he met a carriage heading to the county town.

Chen Lang stuffed twenty coins into the driver's hand and said, "Human lives are at stake. Let's go to Pingzhilin!"

The driver was also a skillful man. He cracked the whip hard and the horse started to gallop away.

Chen Lang had never expected that in ancient society, he could actually experience the feeling of racing...

The journey that was supposed to take a quarter of an hour was completed in just a cup of tea.

During this period, Chen Lang loosened the wooden stick that was tied around the old man's wound to prevent local necrosis.

After arriving at Pingzhilin, the driver was not in a hurry to leave, but instead helped Chen Lang carry the old man in.

"Doctor, save him!"
