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

"Damn it! This cellar is ugly and dark. Why would you raise pigs here?"

A foul odor hit him in the face, and Fang Chang couldn't help but curse.

When he heard them say "pig" just now, he thought this was a pigsty, but a pigsty doesn't smell so bad.

Seeing Fang Chang's ferocious appearance, the bandit immediately smiled and said, fearing he might upset him, "Don't be offended, gentlemen. This is where the piglets are kept. The smell is terrible. Just cover your mouths and noses."

Old Wei and the others couldn't help but snort, but Chen Changfan remained unmoved, only his eyes became colder.

The cellar was dark, and Lao Wei and others lit a fire, and finally they could barely see the scene in front of them.

In the dark, damp and cold cellar, more than a dozen lights lit up.

Those spots of light flickered, like clear stars.

Old Wei moved the tinder closer and suddenly gasped, almost dropping the tinder on the ground.

"Why...why are there so many children locked up here?"

Zhang Yi counted silently and gradually narrowed his eyes.

Fang Chang was in a rage and kicked the bandit over. He then drew his knife and pressed it against his neck, cursing, "You didn't even spare the child! Are you still human?"

"Sir! Good man! I'm just following orders. It's all because of that bastard Ma... Ma Cheng! He's the one who likes this, so we had no choice but to..." the bandit cried out in injustice.

"Your mother has no choice! Go to hell, you bastard!"

Fang Chang ended the bandit's life with one blow.

Heads rolled down.

The smell of blood spread in the air.

The children didn't cry or shout, they just watched everything in front of them with some numbness.

"Bring these children up here."

As soon as Chen Changfan finished speaking, the group of children suddenly trembled with fear, as if they had heard something extremely terrifying.

Chen Changfan was silent for a moment, trying to make his tone softer, "Children, you are saved."

"Old Wei, go find them some clean, warm clothes. Bring the children up with you."

Old Wei nodded seriously.

Hearing this, the children were stunned and looked at the young brother in disbelief, watching Chen Changfan turn around and walk up the stone steps.

A little light came in from above the cellar entrance, making his figure more distinct.

"We...were rescued?"

A boy with delicate features murmured.

After a while, Lao Wei brought clean and warm clothes for the children to wear.

These were winter clothes for the soldiers. They were very loose for the children, but they still put them on happily and followed Lao Wei out of the cellar.

After coming out of the cellar, Lao Wei wanted the children to go into the tent to warm up for a while, but the children refused to go in no matter what.

They just stood in the cold wind, with helplessness and anxiety on their faces.

There were eight children in total.

They looked no more than six or seven years old, but their eyes were full of vigilance and hostility, and they had long lost the innocence and clarity that their peers should have.

Chen Changfan sighed and gave each child a Hu pancake. They gobbled it up, and the look in their eyes when they looked at him was obviously much more relaxed.

"Don't be afraid, children. We are not bad people. We have killed the bandits. You are free now. Do you still remember your parents' names and where they live? I will send someone to send you back so that you can reunite with your family."

As soon as the words fell, some children showed ecstasy on their faces, some children couldn't help crying on the spot, and some children fell into confusion, as if they had no memory of their parents and family members.

"Big brother, can you really take us home?"

It was still the boy with delicate features. He looked at Chen Changfan with longing in his eyes.

"Of course, I am the Qingshan County Bandit Suppression Captain. The people behind me are all from our Qingshan County Bandit Suppression Army. Now that the caravan has been wiped out, it's time for you to go home."

As soon as the words fell, the eight children were slightly stunned, and then looked around. There were many corpses of bandits lying on the ground, and the bandit-suppression troops were cleaning up the battlefield. It was obvious that what the big brother said was true.

Recalling the various experiences after being abducted to the mountain stronghold, the bandits treated them like pigs and dogs. From time to time, someone would be dragged to the tent and never come back.

How could such a large village be breached like this?

We "pigs" can actually survive?

These young children still feel like they are dreaming.

The young children still found it difficult to understand the seriousness of this matter. They just thought that those arrogant bandits were killed completely. Presumably, these bandit-suppression troops must be even more brutal, right?

With a thud, the handsome boy took the lead and knelt down, followed by the other seven children. This made Chen Changfan and others feel a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you for saving me, sir!"

The handsome boy kowtowed heavily, tears flowing unconsciously.

"Thank you for saving me, sir!"

The child's voice echoed in the village, making the men around him tear up.

"Sir, my name is Qin Fang. I live on Shiliu Street in the south city of Qingshan County. My father is Qin Hao, my mother is Ms. Liu, and I have a younger sister named Qin Xue..."

The handsome boy introduced himself clearly, and Zhang Yi immediately found a pen and paper to write it down.

After talking about himself, Qin Fang pointed at the thin boy next to him and said, "His name is Jiang Ming, and he lives in Wuli Village..."

Qin Fang told the family situations of several children in one breath. Old Wei was afraid that he had remembered it wrong, so he asked the children one by one, and they all said the same thing.

"After we were imprisoned, we all introduced ourselves to each other. They said it once, and I remembered it all."

Qin Fang had a confident look on his thin face, and it was obvious that he was quite good at this.

Chen Changfan nodded in appreciation.

Now that we have this information, I believe it won’t be difficult to find their families. We will send all these children home today.

He looked at Qin Fang and thought that this child might be a good student.

……

Qin's family, Shiliu Street, South City, Qingshan County.

Liu brought the medicine into the room and sat in front of her husband's bed.

Qin Hao stood up weakly and looked at Liu, his cracked lips moving slightly:

"Is there any news about Fang'er?"

His eye sockets were sunken, his breathing was weak, and he looked obviously sick and haggard.

Liu shook her head, a trace of sadness in her eyes, "He was kidnapped by bandits, how can there be any news?"

"Yes, if he falls into the hands of bandits, I'm afraid Fang'er will already..."

The couple sighed.

"No! Brother will be fine!"

The youngest daughter, Qin Xue, had a stubborn expression on her face and clenched her fists as she spoke.

"Brother will definitely come back. There's an older brother who said he can bring brother back!"

The couple had heard Qin Xue's words many times. They had also heard that there was a bandit suppression team in the county, and it seemed that they had eliminated a lot of banditry, but it would be extremely difficult to find their son.

Therefore, they did not believe this at all.

"Alas, it's a pity that Fang'er is so smart. I was thinking of entrusting the family business to him in the future..."

Qin Hao sighed, his eyes full of sadness.

"Damn bandits! If I could, I'd trade my sick body for your release."

Hearing this, Liu's expression darkened and tears fell unconsciously. Qin Xue also pursed her lips, as if she was about to cry.

At this moment, the three of them suddenly heard a familiar shout coming from outside the yard.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaoxue!"

"I am back!"
