Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Unlike every time he killed someone before, Chen Changfan always focused on being quick and accurate, killing with one blow, without giving the other party any chance to react.

But he was a little different today.

He used a butcher knife, but held a medicine shovel.

It is not a sharp knife or a short thorn, but a shovel used for collecting herbs.

The tip of the medicine shovel is sharp, but the edge is rough and blunt. It is very useful for splitting stones and cutting soil, but when used to kill people, it is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife.

If you use a knife, the other party will not have a chance to speak at all, but in that case, his death will be too easy, and you will also dirty your own knife.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Changfan bent down and touched the corpse as usual.

He rummaged in the dark-faced old man's arms and took out a few things.

A dark wooden plaque with the words "Black Wind Village" engraved on it seemed to be the waist badge of this Pu Gou.

A tattered sheepskin map seemed to show the terrain of the Green Mountains, except that many different symbols were marked on it.

He only took a quick glance and realized the extraordinary value of the map.

"The grass symbol probably represents a medicinal field or precious medicine. The sword symbol seems to represent the surrounding bandit forces. The claw symbol probably represents the presence of wild beasts in that area."

Chen Changfan made a quick guess and couldn't help but frown.

"I never thought there would be so many bandits lurking on this Qingshan Mountain. Black Wind Village is only two hills away from Xiaofeng Mountain."

Chen Changfan recalled that he had gone up and down the mountain several times before, but he had never encountered bandits. He could only say that he was really lucky.

But why didn't this old dog named Pu stay in the mountain village and run out to sneak into the herb-collecting team?

"No! The location of this medicinal field on the map seems to be my mountain..."

Chen Changfan frowned in thought. He had already roughly explored Xiaofeng Mountain and hadn't found any large medicinal fields or any precious medicines. Could it be that the markings on these medicinal fields were...

"Human lives are like those of pigs and dogs. Kill them if you will. They who collect herbs collect the lives of herbs, but I collect the lives of people."

He recalled what Park Lao San said, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Could it be that the symbol of this little grass does not represent a medicinal field or precious medicine, but a living person who can be robbed and killed?

His eyes were slightly cold, "I'm afraid it's true."

Park Laosan should be the person in the village who is responsible for stepping on the plates.

"Stepping on the plate" is actually underworld slang, which means to scout the target to be robbed in advance.

Pu Laosan looked like a harmless old man. He even deliberately mixed in with the group of herbalists so that he could find out the surrounding situation without anyone noticing. Even he himself didn't know when Xiaofengshan was targeted by this old guy.

I don’t know whether this map was just drawn by Park San or has already been submitted to the stronghold.

If it's the latter, then we're in big trouble.

His base had not been built yet, and if he were to encounter bandits at this time, he would have almost no power to resist.

If the map was just drawn, it means that his base has not been exposed yet. He just killed Park Lao San and kept the news secret for the time being.

He rummaged through Park Laosan's backpack and found that it was filled with various herbs, some of which were stained with blood.

He immediately understood what was going on.

No wonder I couldn’t see any other herbalists while walking. It turned out that they were all killed silently by this old dog.

After killing the other herbalists, Pu Laosan quietly approached Yunniang. He originally wanted to kill people and collect herbs, but he didn't expect to fall into his own hands in the end.

"He must have mastered a stealth martial art. Even my senses didn't detect his movements. This stealth skill is truly extraordinary. It's a pity that I didn't find anything on him..."

Just as Chen Changfan frowned and thought, a painful groan suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and saw that Yunniang's body actually moved.

He hurried forward to check and found that although her chest was seriously injured, it seemed that her internal organs were fortunately not damaged.

It's just that the bleeding is too much and needs to be stopped as soon as possible.

He took out the golden wound medicine he had always carried with him, and selected herbs such as hemostatic vine and white hyacinth from the herbs, and gave them all to Yunniang, and only then did the bleeding stop.

Chen Changfan took out another small wild ginseng and asked Yunniang to chew it. Only then did the latter's pale face regain some color.

The good thing about being a herbalist is that if you get injured in the mountains, you can quickly use the herbs in your hands to treat it. If it weren't for these herbs, I'm afraid Yunniang would have died in the mountains.

"Yunniang, I need to bandage your wound, please don't mind."

Chen Changfan tore off a few strips of cloth from his clothes and said apologetically to Yunniang, facing her half-naked upper body.

I was in a hurry to stop Yunniang's bleeding, so I had to take off her shirt. Now I have to bandage her, and physical contact is inevitable.

"You're trying to save my life, why would I mind? Besides, Brother Chen is handsome, I don't feel at a disadvantage..."

Yunniang spoke carelessly, but her cheeks were slightly red, and it was obvious that she was not as relaxed as she said.

"excuse me."

Chen Changfan didn't waste any time and quickly wrapped the wound with a cloth strip. Although his technique was a bit clumsy, he finally managed to temporarily save Yunniang from danger.

"The man who just attacked you claimed to be a bandit from Black Wind Village. Do you recognize him?"

Seeing that Yunniang's complexion had recovered a little, Chen Changfan immediately asked.

Yunniang shook her head. "That old guy had just joined the team not long ago. He only said that he lived in the mountains. I didn't know he was a bandit."

Yunniang's answer made Chen Changfan more certain of his inference.

"How many days has he been in the team? Where have you been?"

Yunniang thought about it and told the truth. Chen Changfan pondered for a moment and felt relieved.

They had just come here to collect herbs today, so the map that Park Laosan had drawn was most likely drawn today. Now that the map was in his hands, it meant that Xiaofeng Mountain had not been exposed yet.

"Can you still get up now? There are probably quite a few bandits in this mountain. If we run into them, we'll be in great danger."

Chen Changfan's words were not meant to scare people. Judging from the sheepskin map, there were indeed quite a few bandits around.

Yunniang struggled to sit up and gritted her teeth. "Yes! Even if I can't, I have to be able to do it!"

Chen Changfan nodded, "I'll carry you down."

As he spoke, he put the herbs on the ground into his backpack. When there was no more room, he put them into Yunniang's backpack.

With two backpacks slung across his chest, he bent down and motioned Yunniang to come up.

Yunniang gritted her teeth and hugged Chen Changfan's neck, which turned slightly red.

There was no conversation along the way, and the two of them quickly went down the mountain. After Chen Changfan sent Yunniang to the clinic, he took advantage of the time when the doctor was bandaging Yunniang to slip away.

Throughout the day, Yunniang looked at him with a strange look in her eyes. He was even a little afraid that she would pledge herself to him, but he had no such thoughts.

Walking on the streets of the county town, Chen Changfan felt that many eyes were staring at him, as if he had become a celebrity in the county town overnight.

"Chen Jia Erlang, well done! He can even kill a tiger!"

"Isn't this the tiger-fighting hero? Come in and sit down when you have time..."

"Smoke is rising from the Chen family's ancestral tomb. A great hero has emerged!"

Some of these people's compliments were sincere, while others were slightly sour, or even had a hint of watching the show.

Chen Changfan asked around and found out that all these changes seemed to be related to the notice posted in the county government office.
