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

For a moment, Chen Changfan developed a strong interest in the River Map and Luo Shu.

As a glorious Daxia person, he still knew some legends about the River Map and Luoshu.

The River Map and the Luoshu are two mysterious patterns that contain profound principles of the universe and astrology.

According to legend, in the ancient times of Fuxi, a dragon horse emerged from the Yellow River, carrying the "River Map" and presented it to Fuxi.

Fuxi developed the Eight Trigrams based on this, which later became the source of the "Book of Changes".

It is also said that during the time of Yu the Great, a divine turtle emerged from the Luo River, carrying the "Luoshu" on its back and presented it to Yu the Great.

Dayu successfully controlled the flood based on this method and divided the world into nine provinces.

Therefore, the River Chart and the Luoshu are praised as the source of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements numerology, and can be used to deduce the changes in heaven and earth.

In short, this thing is awesome. If you study it thoroughly, you can predict and deduce everything in this world.

Because the River Map and Luoshu contain the ultimate principles of heaven, earth and the universe, in a sense, it is equivalent to a large model of the earth in ancient times.

To be honest, after reading it, he felt that the River Map and Luoshu were exaggerated, and that they were metaphysics and pseudoscience.

Now he only regretted that he had not studied this subject more at that time.

This thing must be extraordinary, perhaps it contains some crucial information.

But how to use it?

"The legendary Hetu Luoshu appeared in the river. Does that mean it can be activated and used by putting it into the river?"

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed, so he hid the turtle shell and went to the banks of the Chiwei River alone.

After confirming that there is no one around.

He took out the turtle shell from his arms, gently placed it in the water, and then watched intently to see if there would be any reaction.

He didn't even dare to blink, as if he was afraid of missing some important information.

But the turtle shell didn't move at all and didn't react at all.

"Maybe it's the wrong place. Let's try another one..."

Chen Changfan was a little unwilling to give up because he got the treasure but didn't know how to use it.

He took the turtle shell and placed it in other river bends to test it, but there was no reaction.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong? Perhaps the real Hetu Luoshu is hidden in the tortoise shell. Let's pry it open and take a look."

He took out a sharp knife and scratched the turtle shell lightly, but not even a scratch appeared.

He increased his strength and paddled harder, but there was still no change.

"Is this turtle shell so hard?"

As he said this, he used all his strength and stabbed the turtle shell with the sharp knife, but it didn't even leave a white mark.

Chen Changfan's pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't notice at all that he had accidentally cut a small cut on his finger when he stabbed it just now.

"It seems that it is not an ordinary thing. It's a pity that I can't use it now..."

As he was speaking, a drop of blood suddenly fell from his finger and happened to land on the ancient tortoise shell.

The stone-like turtle shell now acted like a sponge, magically absorbing the drop of blood.

At the same time, a line of ancient small characters suddenly appeared on the tortoise shell. He did not recognize these characters, but he could actually understand their meaning:

[Tomorrow at 11:00 AM, heavy fog]

"I'm going to... weather forecast..."

If the River Map and Luo Shu can really accurately predict the weather, then this thing is like a divine artifact.

You know, even in modern society with highly developed technology, it is impossible to accurately predict the weather, and rain and snowfall are reported in the form of probabilities.

And this River Map and Luoshu actually directly gives the weather at a precise time point, which is quite amazing.

Of course, this is not the complete version of the River Map and Luoshu. If it is gradually completed, it should be possible to predict the weather in the longer term.

This is of great significance. If there is any natural disaster in the future, he can predict it in advance and make adequate preparations to deal with it.

Similarly, Chen Changfan also confirmed again that this River Map and Luo Shu seemed to be only able to predict the weather.

This is consistent with his understanding of the world. It is a bit extraordinary, but not much.

After returning home, Chen Changfan dug around the earthen wall for a long time. Unfortunately, he didn't find any new debris, so he went into the house.

Seeing Shen Cuiyun coaxing Luoluo in her arms, he quietly climbed onto the kang.

“Yiyi——ah——”

Luoluo was still talking with her eyes closed, her brows tightly furrowed, as if she had had a nightmare.

Shen Cuiyun picked up the child, and the little guy immediately opened his mouth wide and rubbed against Shen Cuiyun.

It turned out that I was hungry...

Shen Cuiyun turned her back and fed the child in a short while. The little guy's eyelids drooped and he was about to fall asleep again.

From this angle, Chen Changfan could just see his wife's plump breasts, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although my wife has a slender waist, she has a really broad mind.

He sniffed and seemed to smell a faint scent of milk.

Shen Cuiyun's pretty face turned red when she noticed the movement, and her fair neck also turned slightly red.

Seeing this, Chen Changfan was ready to make a move, but as soon as Luoluo left Shen Cuiyun's arms, she started crying. Shen Cuiyun kept holding Luoluo, and Chen Changfan gradually lost his temper.

This kid is really ignorant...

So he leaned on the head of the kang, and soon he began to snore loudly.

Shen Cuiyun gritted her teeth and kicked him, but he actually tilted his head down, rested it on her legs, and continued to snore.

"You did it on purpose!"

Shen Cuiyun said something angrily, but there was no trace of annoyance on her face.

……

That night, when Shen Cuiyun was preparing to wash rice and cook, she lifted the felt cloth and saw a huge wooden barrel in front of her.

When I opened the lid, I saw that it was full of white rice.

"How many liters of rice is this? At least 80 liters, right?"

Chen Changfan sorted out the goods beside him and said with a smile, "I bought a dou of rice, which is exactly one hundred liters."

Seeing Shen Cuiyun's look of disbelief, he thought she was complaining that he had bought too much, so he explained, "There's a famine out there, and the price of refined rice changes every day. I'm afraid it will get even more expensive in the future, so I just bought more while it's cheap."

Shen Cuiyun was still standing there in a daze.

How could she not know that the price of rice is getting higher day by day?

Everyone knows the principle of stocking up on food while it's cheap.

But where is the money?

This hectoliter of rice, calculated at ten coins per liter, would cost at least one tael of silver.

The price of rice has skyrocketed. It will probably be fifteen coins per liter soon. When that happens, I will have to pay an extra five hundred coins to buy more, which is a huge amount of money.

"Erlang, how much did that little blue dragon sell for?"

Chen Changfan chuckled and stretched out five fingers.

"Five taels of silver?" Shen Cuiyun's chest couldn't help but rise and fall violently.

Although I had heard that the little green dragon was worth a lot of money, who would have thought that it could be sold for five taels of silver.

"The big blue dragon will only be more valuable, but I don't dare to sell it now."

Chen Changfan said with some regret.

Selling this little green dragon is already a risky move. Maybe he has been targeted by someone now.

If I try to sell this huge blue dragon again, I'm afraid I won't get any money and I might even lose my life.

Shen Cuiyun was smart and immediately understood what Chen Changfan meant. "Don't worry, we can make you some snake meat soup. It's said to be very nutritious. If you really can't eat it, we can make it into jerky."

Chen Changfan nodded. "Snake bones and snake skin are very durable. I'll sell them when the time is right."

As the two were talking, they were sorting the goods. Shen Cuiyun took a glance and her eyes suddenly lit up.

In addition to food, there were also soybean oil, salt, soy sauce, chili and other seasonings, as well as a fishing net. I silently estimated the price and couldn't help but be shocked.

My husband spent nearly two taels of silver on this trip, which used to be enough for their whole family to spend for a year.

But she didn't feel sad, but rather emotional.

After all, her man can earn money, and she is happy from the bottom of her heart.

She earned five taels of silver just by going to the city. She had never seen so much money in her life.

"Erlang, what are you going to do with this money?"

Shen Cuiyun mustered up the courage and asked.
