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

The three men, armed with weapons and sacks, went deeper into the mountains and forests, where they saw animals killed by hailstones everywhere.

"There's a litter of wild boars here!"

Old Wei made an unexpected discovery.

I saw a big black wild boar lying in the grass. It looked to weigh at least three or four hundred pounds, but its head had been smashed by hailstones, and it was obviously dead.

"There are no fangs in the mouth. This is a sow. See if there are any piglets nearby."

Chen Changfan reminded them, and Lao Wei and the other two lifted the wild boar together. Sure enough, they found a pit under the sow's body. There was a litter of piglets underneath, looking at these uninvited guests with horror on their faces.

"It seems the sow used her body to protect her cubs from the hail. Sigh... wouldn't it be too cruel for us to drag their mother away and eat her?"

Bricklayer Hu looked reluctant.

Old Wei and Old Man Liu were already moving the wild boar's corpse. "Don't eat it while the meat is being stewed."

Hu the bricklayer immediately put away his compassion and rushed over to help. "I was just saying it casually. Don't look at my age, I'm still quite strong..."

Chen Changfan ignored the three people who were making jokes. He tightened the mouth of the sack and shoved the piglets into the pit. The piglets immediately screamed in fear.

"Don't be afraid. Not only will I not eat you now, but I will actually feed you deliciously when I get back."

The little piglets seemed to understand what Chen Changfan said, and they suddenly became much quieter.

Chen Changfan was carrying a sack, feeling a little excited.

He now has the skills to tame beasts, and his communication with wild animals is somewhat effective. When he goes back and raises these piglets, maybe he can learn some breeding skills from them.

The sow was too heavy, so the three of them worked together to carry her back to the shelter, and also brought the piglets back with them.

Chen Changfan continued to explore forward.

It was a pity that he didn't encounter any large prey like wild boars, but he did pick up two foxes.

The most valuable part of a fox is its fur. Chen Changfan immediately used his butchering skills to skin the fox. There was barely any meat left, so he just threw it on the ground.

A fox skin is worth 20 taels, which is still very valuable.

His sack was filled with many precious medicinal herbs, and prey of lower value was not worthy of being put into the bag.

After filling two sacks, Chen Changfan was about to return to the shelter when he suddenly heard some movement in the bushes.

He drew his bow and shot, firing four arrows in a row in a short period of time. The thing in the bushes was immediately hit and fell to the ground.

He slowly approached with his bow and found that it was a big guy.

It’s another wild boar!

This wild boar is much larger than the sow just now, weighing at least 500 pounds.

Chen Changfan touched the pair of black and yellow wild boar tusks, then looked at the wild boar's sunken and deformed back, and immediately understood what was going on.

Logically speaking, such wild boars are almost invincible in the mountains, and even bear-man wouldn't provoke them easily.

But natural disasters are unpredictable. It seems that the wild boar's spine was broken by the hail just now, and it is now disabled.

Even if he didn't shoot it, it would die in the mouth of other beasts sooner or later.

"Maybe they are from the same litter of piglets as before, and now the family is complete."

Chen Changfan smiled playfully.

Just then, footsteps were heard from the bottom of the mountain.

He wanted to hide in a tree, but the two big sacks and the wild boar were a bit troublesome.

He was afraid that he couldn't carry this wild boar weighing more than 500 pounds and two sacks back by himself, so he could only wait for Lao Wei and the others to come.

He simply didn't leave, put the sack on the ground, and took out the bow and arrow again.

With his current strongest skill, the Cold Rain Arrow, if he were to face civilians who didn't know how to fight, he could kill five of them instantly.

Tatata!

The footsteps gradually approached, and five figures climbed up towards this side.

Chen Changfan took a closer look and saw that the five men were in tattered clothes, had pale faces and thin bodies, and some of them had bruises on their bodies.

It was obvious that he had survived the natural disaster just now and ran to the mountains to find food.

The leader was a tall, dark-faced man, the same dark-faced man who had just had a conflict with the yamen runners on the official road.

Behind him followed the child and three thin young men, who also looked like refugees.

"Brother Heizi, there's someone over there."

Someone pointed in the direction of Chen Changfan, and the black-faced man immediately became alert.

Anyone who appears on the mountain at this time is probably looking for food.

The black-faced man glanced at Chen Changfan, his eyes swept over the two bulging sacks behind him, and then lingered on the wild boar on the ground for a while.

He saw Chen Changfan holding a longbow in his hand and immediately looked away.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

He instinctively felt that this young man was not someone to be trifled with, so he led his companions in another direction.

The black-faced man led four people to search in the forest for a long time. Perhaps because they were not good at tracking, or perhaps because their luck was really bad, the five people found nothing.

On the contrary, climbing the mountain consumed a lot of physical energy.

The two who were weak in physical strength sat down on the ground, looking a little out of breath.

"Brother Heizi, I'm so hungry..."

The child looked at the black-faced man, holding his stomach and said pitifully.

The black-faced man hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked towards where Chen Changfan was.

"Good man, could you lend us something to eat? The child is almost fainting from hunger."

The black-faced man was actually very hungry too, but when he thought about how the child had just saved his life, he put on a serious face and came over to give it a try.

However, he did not hold much hope in his heart. After all, he had seen too much human warmth and coldness during his escape.

If others give you alms, it is a favor; if they don’t give you alms, it is their duty.

He looked at the hunched young man, who said indifferently, "I don't like borrowing other people's things."

That means rejection.

really.

Although the black-faced man had expected this, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He bowed to Chen Changfan and was about to turn around and leave when he heard the man's voice again.

"If you can carry this wild boar, I'll give you a pancake."

The dark-faced man showed ecstasy on his face, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Really?"

Chen Changfan took out a pancake from his arms, and his eyes seemed to say, it depends on whether you have the ability to take it.

He is not a saint, nor does he have the capital to be a saint. If it is someone capable, he can help at any cost and will not be stingy with food, drink, money, etc.

If you want to gain sympathy by selling yourself as a poor scoundrel, sorry, he won't take you in.

For now, he needs a strong laborer who can not only help him move wild boars, but also specialize in coal mining and iron smelting in the future.

"I'm definitely going to eat your pancake!"

The black-faced man spat on his hands twice, then bent his knees slightly and squatted down, but his back remained straight.

As soon as Chen Changfan saw his posture, he knew that this black-faced man was quite capable.

drink!

The black-faced man clasped his hands, his arm muscles bulged, and he exerted force with his waist and back to pull up the 500-pound wild boar.

He maintained the lifting posture for a few seconds, and only put down the wild boar after Chen Changfan nodded in approval. His face only turned slightly red.

Chen Changfan handed over the pancake with a smile, feeling very satisfied.

This black man must have been born with supernatural powers. He is so dark-skinned that he can be called a congenital coal-mining saint. It would be a pity if he didn't go mining coal.
