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

Chen Changfan rode on a pony, lost in thought along the way.

Before I knew it, I found that many people were following me.

Those people looked at him intently, but didn't say anything. Their faces showed an expression of reverence and a hint of anticipation, as if they were waiting for something.

Chen Changfan pulled the reins and turned to look at the group of men.

"You guys...what are you doing?"

"Master Chen, I heard you were recruiting militiamen to go out of the city to suppress bandits tomorrow. We...we want to sign up!"

Said the one-eyed man who was in the lead.

The other young men also nodded and looked at Chen Changfan with firm eyes.

"Sir, the bandits killed my wife, I want revenge!"

"Sir, I heard that there is money to be made by joining the bandit suppression team. I am not afraid of killing people!"

"grown ups……"

A group of men were talking.

Some of these people were after food, some were after revenge, and some were after money.

Chen Changfan felt that these people seemed to be suitable, but they still needed to be examined before recruiting.

He is short of manpower, but he won't hire just anyone.

"Who among you can ride a horse?" he asked loudly.

A dozen or so men looked at each other, and only five raised their hands.

"Who among you can shoot arrows?"

Three people raised their hands.

"Has anyone of you ever killed a pig?"

Two people raised their hands.

Chen Changfan looked at the one-eyed man in the lead with admiration in his eyes.

Among these people, he was the only one who raised his hand three times.

"What's your name?" Chen Changfan asked.

"Zhang Yi."

"Follow me, and ride one of these two horses."

Chen Changfan didn't waste any time and directly accepted Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi asked stiffly, "Give me money?"

The reason he gave earlier was that he wanted to get some money.

"I'll be paid ten taels of silver per month, and if you kill bandits, you'll get a reward."

Zhang Yi jumped on the horse without saying a word.

Chen Changfan's mouth twitched slightly. This kid is really realistic...

Chen Changfan rode away with Zhang Yi, leaving the men looking at each other in bewilderment.

They thought that since they were all young and strong, it should be easy for them to join the bandit suppression team, but who would have thought that Lord Chen would only choose Zhang Yi.

This made them feel a little unwilling.

"Isn't he just a lieutenant? What's so impressive about that?"

"If you are so arrogant, you might be killed by bandits tomorrow."

Entrusting the pony to Lao Wei, Chen Changfan took Zhang Yi straight to Chaijiabao.

After explaining the purpose of the visit, Mr. Chai said that there was no rush to buy horses, and it was more important to recruit some capable people first.

Chen Changfan nodded, but Chai Feng waved his hand and called over twenty people.

"This is our Qingshan County's bandit-suppression captain, Lord Chen. You all have some martial arts skills, so why not join Lord Chen in killing bandits and eliminating harm to the people?"

The twenty people all had a strong aura, and it was obvious that as Mr. Chai said, they all had some martial arts skills.

"Brother Chai..."

Chen Changfan originally wanted to say that he also had standards for selecting people, but Chai Feng called these people here, and if he didn't accept them, it would be a bit ignorant.

He knew that Chai Feng had good intentions, and these warriors did have good foundations. He thought it would be okay to recruit them all.

"I don't care if he's a lieutenant or not. If I can't be convinced, I won't follow him no matter how much money he offers."

A burly man said in a muffled voice.

"Don't be rude!"

Chai Feng scolded them, but those men were obviously not convinced. Chen Changfan smiled faintly, "When dealing with horse bandits, horseback archery is the most important. Why don't you challenge me in a horseback archery competition? If your skills are not as good as mine, I won't accept you."

"How brave!"

"You are speaking nonsense! I need to learn a thing or two from you today."

Hearing Chen Changfan's arrogant words, these men immediately got furious.

Chai Feng smiled but said nothing. He just wanted to see the strength of this Brother Chen.

Everyone was at the edge of the horse farm, next to which was a target for archery practice. Chen Changfan was about to mount his horse when he was overtaken by another figure.

After Zhang Yi mounted his horse, he looked at everyone and raised his eyebrows provocatively:

"Why do you need Lord Chen to come out in person? You can compete with me first!"

"You're even more crazy!" The burly man also jumped on the horse, and the two started racing around the racecourse.

In the first lap, the two were evenly matched.

In the second lap, Zhang Yi took the lead.

On the third lap, the burly man urged the horse too hard and accidentally fell off the horse, immediately making his face turn red.

Another person was unwilling to accept the defeat and was defeated after less than five rounds with Zhang Yi.

"Well done!"

Chen Changfan also noticed that Zhang Yi was a good rider.

To be honest, his riding skills are not that good, and he only has some advantages by relying on the art of taming beasts.

"Let's compete in archery!"

A young man with long arms drew his bow and shot three arrows in a row, hitting three bull's eyes.

"Boss, can you lend me your longbow?"

Chen Changfan tossed the iron bow to Zhang Yi, who took it and pulled it, exclaiming, "Nice bow!"

shhhhhh!

Three arrows were shot in a row, all hitting the same bull's eye.

Compare the two and make a judgment.

For a moment, the warriors fell silent.

Who would have thought that such an unprepossessing one-eyed young man could actually be such a skilled archer.

"The real master is actually Master Chen. I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert."

Zhang Yi's words were not modesty. He could tell from the traces of use on the iron-framed bow that the person who used it held the bow more steadily and had greater arm strength, which he himself could not do.

Anyone who can do both of these things at the same time must be stronger than me.

But to others, Zhang Yi's words sounded a bit self-deprecating, and also seemed to be praising Chen Changfan.

However, if you are not as skilled as others, you are still not as skilled as others. These arrogant men had to lower their heads at this time.

"You're a good rider, and you, the two of you can join the bandit suppression team."

"Who shot the bull's eye with an arrow just now? Captain, you three, come over here too."

Chen Changfan pointed out five people in succession, all of whom were the ones who had performed brilliantly just now. Those people walked out of the crowd somewhat unwillingly and stood behind Chen Changfan.

"Brother Chai, I want to buy five horses from you. I wonder if you can give them up." Chen Changfan got straight to the point.

There were no less than ten good horses and fifty ordinary horses in Chai Feng's horse farm, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

"Brother Chen, just go and choose whichever one you like." Zhang Yi's performance just now was so amazing that it made Chai Feng unable to see through his brother Chen even more.

He never thought that he could find such a talented person in the small Qingshan County.

Chen Changfan was not polite either. He selected five good horses based on his perception and bought them for 15 taels of silver.

Although they are more expensive than those in the cattle and horse market, these are good horses and worth the price.

hiss!

A black horse suddenly broke free from the reins, easily jumped out of the stable, ran all the way to Chen Changfan, and lowered its head in obedience.

"Chasing the wind? Long time no see."

Chen Changfan touched the hair on Zhuifeng's forehead and couldn't help but sigh that this was really a good horse.

"Brother Chai, this Zhuifeng..."

"A BMW is a gift for a hero, I'll give it to you!" Chai Feng was furious when he saw this beast.

I usually treat Zhuifeng well with good food and drink, but this beast never treats me well.

Chen Changfan only rode it once, but it seemed like it missed it?

It’s better not to have such an ungrateful person!

"You can't take a BMW like this for free. I'm willing to pay a hundred taels of silver for it."

Anyway, he asked the government for 500 taels of silver to recruit soldiers, so there was nothing wrong with his spending of the money.

Chai Feng wanted to refuse, but Chen Changfan said, "This BMW understands human nature. If it knew it was given away for free, it would definitely be dissatisfied. Brother Chai, please accept the banknote."

Chen Changfan handed over the silver note. The price of one hundred taels was a reasonable price for such a good horse, and Chai Feng couldn't refuse it.

Sure enough, after Chai Feng took the banknote, Zhuifeng let out a happy neighing sound and seemed quite proud.
