Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp
Chapter 49: Little Ice Age! Nether Crocodile!
The Little Ice Age, recorded in history books, began around the beginning of the 15th century.
The global climate entered a cold period, which was a small ice age lasting for hundreds of years, also known as the "Ming and Qing Little Ice Age."
At that time, various extreme weather events occurred frequently, including droughts, floods, and hailstorms.
There is even a claim that the fall of the Ming Dynasty was closely related to the Little Ice Age, which shows its powerful destructive power.
If the era in which I live is really about to enter a mini ice age, then it will be a bloody start, and the difficulty of survival will soar several times.
However, this is just his current speculation. After all, the River Map and Luo Shu only predicted an extreme hail weather, and did not explicitly state that the Little Ice Age is about to come.
If there were more encounter points, or if the tortoise shell could be replenished as soon as possible, increasing the number of deduction days to several months or even years, he would be able to make further inferences based on the frequency of extreme weather.
Look at this era. Are we about to enter a terrible Little Ice Age?
He originally thought that catching these five spiritual fish would be enough to cope with the autumn tax three days later, but there was another natural disaster fifteen days later, and he really couldn't rest for a moment.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a warmth in my chest.
When he took it out and looked at it, he saw that the River Map and Luo Shu were emitting a faint glow, as if echoing with a light spot in the distance.
"It seems that the light spot is also a piece of turtle shell fragment. And judging by the intensity of the induction, it seems that the fragment is not small."
With the faint light emitted by the River Map and Luo Shu, Chen Changfan moved forward in the deep cave.
The deeper you explore, the more you will be amazed by the wonders of nature.
It's freezing outside, but it's as warm as spring here.
"Isn't this cave a perfect shelter? Not to mention hail, it can even withstand a few nuclear bombs."
The more Chen Changfan looked at the cave, the more satisfied he became. The cave was neither too big nor too small. After walking forward for dozens of meters, he was suddenly blocked by several huge stone pillars.
Each of these stone pillars is five or six meters thick, and seems to penetrate the sky and the earth and penetrate into the ground from the rock wall.
It was as if a huge hand was imprisoning a terrifying monster inside.
The stone pillars stand tall and straight, and the underground river is also separated here, forming a natural barrier.
Unfortunately, the faint light that resonated with the River Map and Luo Shu was blocked by the stone pillar. Chen Changfan looked at the faint light right in front of him, and reluctantly wanted to pass through the gap in the stone pillar.
Just as he approached the stone pillar, two cold blue lights suddenly lit up from behind it.
Those were a pair of vertical pupils as big as washbasins!
Chen Changfan was so frightened that he cursed and retreated violently. A huge shadow was approaching from behind the stone pillar.
It turned out to be a giant black crocodile with a majestic head and horns, as big as a mountain.
At this moment, he was looking at Chen Changfan coldly with a look without any emotion.
"Netherworld Crocodile! There's actually a Netherworld Crocodile here!"
"Baiweichao" records that the Nether Crocodile can be more than seven meters long and weigh more than six or seven hundred kilograms. It has a ferocious temperament and can eat an entire cow in one bite.
Although there were stone pillars blocking him, Chen Changfan couldn't help but retreat dozens of steps. This Nether Crocodile was too terrifying.
Obviously, the Netherworld Crocodile also realized that it could not break through the stone pillar that was like a natural moat, but it still couldn't help revealing a cruel look in its eyes, and it was obvious that it wanted to eat people.
The calmer and more composed this thing is, the creepier it is, because it gives people the feeling that it has become spiritual.
Of course, it is better for Chen Changfan to stay away from such a terrifying guy.
Even the most powerful iron spike in his hand would not be able to break this guy's defense.
Even if you can hurt the other person, who knows how many stabs you will have to do to kill him?
Seeing that Chen Changfan had retreated far away, the pair of huge blue eyes slowly disappeared again.
"It seems that this guy is trapped in that stone pillar and probably can't get out."
Chen Changfan threw a few stones into the stone pillar, but the Nether Crocodile did not react. It was obvious that it had been trapped here for a long time.
"It's just the end of its strength. Next time I come, I'll make a coat out of your skin!"
Chen Changfan was very unhappy after being frightened by that guy just now, and he cursed a few times to vent his anger.
After another round and confirming that there was no other danger in this cave space, he took a deep breath and dived into the underground river.
The water level was receding at this time, and the river was not very turbulent. Chen Changfan swam quickly along the underground river and found a narrow crevice.
This crack in the rock is like a skylight, extending upwards and is tens of meters deep.
This is because his level of wave-walking technique is high enough, otherwise he would have died from lack of oxygen on the way up.
On the way up, he saw several lotus roots emitting soft white light in the water. He tore off a piece and continued to float up.
"Spiritual Jade Lotus, I didn't expect it to grow here!"
He was afraid that the Nether Crocodile would suddenly chase him, and he was also afraid that the Giant Bone Fish was lying in ambush nearby, so he didn't dare to delay for even a moment.
……
Wow!
Bubbles appeared in the Chiwei River, followed by waves. Chen Changfan stepped on the water and floated up in a somewhat awkward manner.
He wiped his face with lingering fear and gasped for breath.
"I originally wanted to go down and catch a few spirit fish, but I was almost ambushed by Lao Liu. However, by chance I entered the underground river and discovered an excellent shelter."
If there wasn't a terrifying Nether Crocodile in that cave, it would be perfect...
However, it seems that the Nether Crocodile is trapped in the stone pillar and cannot get out. As long as both sides do not interfere with each other, the cave can be habitable.
When I came ashore with the spiritual fish and spiritual jade lotus, I found that it was already dark!
After carefully identifying the direction, I found that the mountains here were undulating and it seemed that we were near Qingshan.
"This underground river is quite long. From Jiudaowan to Qingshan, it's probably more than two miles. Anyone who can't swim will die if they go in."
When Chen Changfan returned home, Shen Cuiyun had already prepared the meal.
"Erlang, I see you are very busy today." Shen Cuiyun sensitively discovered that her man was a little different today.
"Well, the fish stall is having a promotion tomorrow, and the noodle shop is opening soon, so it's normal to be busy."
Shen Cuiyun put down her chopsticks. "I think you have something on your mind. You usually look calm and composed, but today I can clearly feel that you are a little agitated."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changfan also stopped eating. He didn't expect that this girl was so sensitive that she could even feel his emotional changes.
"Erlang, we are husband and wife. I will share the good and the bad with you. You can tell me anything. You don't have to keep it all to yourself."
As Shen Cuiyun spoke, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She was not blaming Chen Erlang, but she really felt sorry for her man.
"Well, you're right. I didn't intend to hide it from you. I wanted to wait until everything was arranged before telling you. This would save you from worrying."
"I'm worried because you didn't say anything!"
Shen Cuiyun suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Did you kill someone outside again?"
When asked this by his wife, Chen Changfan was really speechless.
I don’t know what’s going on in this girl’s brain. She actually thought that she had killed someone again?
Chen Changfan pulled his wife into his arms, gently pinched Shen Cuiyun's slender waist, and said unhappily, "Is your man a murderer? Do I kill people every day?"
Shen Cuiyun sat in Chen Changfan's arms, her cheeks gradually getting hot. "So what happened to you? Anyway, I feel like you seem to be worried about something."
Chen Changfan did not hide anything and directly told Shen Cuiyun about the natural disaster that would happen fifteen days later.
Of course, he did not directly tell the story of the River Map and Luoshu, but said that a great fortune teller who was very good at fortune telling told him.
"Can the Immortal predict a natural disaster fifteen days from now? Or a disaster that will result in fatalities?"
People of this era still have great faith in immortals, and Shen Cuiyun quickly believed what Chen Changfan said.
"That's right, this great immortal's calculations are very accurate. The reason I was able to catch so many spirit fish is because of his help and guidance."
"No wonder... This immortal is really powerful. Should we find a cave to hide in advance?"
The doubts that had been in Shen Cuiyun's mind for the past few days were finally resolved. If there was any guidance from a great immortal, then it would make sense why her man suddenly became so powerful.
"I've already picked out a cave, but we need to make a lot of preparations before moving there. Once I'm ready, I'll take you and Luoluo there."
Shen Cuiyun didn't expect that Chen Changfan had already considered the shelter in advance, and she suddenly felt extremely safe.
"By the way, wife, I plan to buy a sampan. This will greatly improve the efficiency of fishing."
Buying a sampan is not a small matter. In the previous life, it was equivalent to buying a car.
Shen Cuiyun nodded. "I'll do as you say. I haven't touched any of the money at home. I'll go get it for you right away."
As Shen Cuiyun was speaking, she was about to escape from Chen Changfan's arms. This guy's hands were too dishonest and they slipped into her clothes without her noticing.
"I have money. I'll leave you some change later."
He threw a purse on the kang with a dignified manner. Shen Cuiyun couldn't help but lean forward out of curiosity and reached out to take it.
There are actually two strings of cash!
You call this change?
Suddenly I felt a sinking sensation on my back, and that guy actually pressed up from behind.
Shen Cuiyun's pretty face suddenly turned red.
"It's not dark yet... Second..."
Soon, enchanting sounds were heard from the room.
If the doors and windows had not been replaced with new ones, greatly improving the sound insulation, Shen Cuiyun would probably be embarrassed to death.
When this matter was over, it was already night.
Shen Cuiyun fell into a deep sleep exhausted.
Chen Changfan dug out the body of the yellow leper, wrapped it tightly with straw, and put it on a cart.
Today, I specifically asked Shen Cuiyun to borrow a cart from Aunt Liu's house in preparation for disposing of the body tonight.
The autumn air was getting colder and colder, and there was no one on the streets.
Chen Changfan quickly pushed the cart to the Chiwei River, walked along the river bank for a long time, and finally found a place he thought was a good place to dump the body.
He remembered this place. There was a large whirlpool at the bottom of the river. If a wild duck accidentally swam in, it would be difficult to get out.
Using his legs to exert force, Chen Changfan slightly increased the speed and pushed the cart to the river. He suddenly lifted the handlebars and the front of the cart sank.
The body of the yellow lecher fell into the river due to inertia and was soon sucked into the whirlpool and disappeared.
Chen Changfan pushed the cart a little distance away, then carefully wiped off the wheel tracks before leaving with peace of mind.
It is said that it is easy to kill someone but difficult to dispose of the body. That is because the murderer is not calm enough after committing the crime. In panic, it is easy for him to make various mistakes, which allows others to follow the trail and find him.
Chen Changfan said that his mind is now very clear, and with the help of this natural vortex, it is difficult for others to find out about him.
Since they had already arrived at the river, Chen Changfan simply threw down six or seven traps and cast a few rods.
There were fewer and fewer fish at the bottom of the water, and only six or seven large fish weighing ten kilograms were caught.
Chen Changfan guessed that this might be related to the existence of the arapaima.
With the existence of such a terrifying carnivorous fish, all the big fish in the river will be eaten by it sooner or later.
Chen Changfan's desire to kill him became stronger and stronger.
What this guy eats is not fish, but hard-earned money!
He racked his brains to make a spear gun just for this arapaima.
Lift the rod and reel in the line, put the fish into the basket, and leave.
After returning to the village, Chen Changfan carried the cart on his shoulders and erased the last trace that might expose his whereabouts, and then he went into the house to sleep with peace of mind.
As for the possibility that Dahe Village could be found by following the tire tracks, Chen Changfan had no intention of concealing it.
On the one hand, the car was too heavy to carry, and he couldn't carry it such a long distance.
On the one hand, Huang Laizi's death was committed by a fellow villager, and it was useless no matter how hard he tried to cover it up.
I slept until dawn, and Shen Cuiyun had already prepared breakfast.
Chen Changfan recently discovered that his wife's complexion has become more rosy, which may be due to the nourishment of food.
After finishing the meal, Chen Changfan said softly, "I've thrown away the garbage."
Shen Cuiyun's eyelashes trembled, she nodded slightly, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, I felt a little regretful.
She regretted that she slept too soundly last night and let Erlang do such a dangerous thing alone.
But we can't blame her entirely. Every time she was tossed around, she felt like she was about to fall apart, and she couldn't even muster the strength to lift anything.
Thinking of the novel experience last night, Shen Cuiyun's cheeks turned slightly red again.
Chen Changfan didn't notice that his wife suddenly blushed. He was busy packing up various tools.
When the gate was opened, the three people outside were already there.
"My boss."
Old Wei, Bricklayer Hu, and Aunt Liu said in unison.
The three of them called Chen Changfan like this naturally, because Chen Changfan hired them, so Chen Changfan was their boss.
So he shouted it out naturally, but Chen Changfan was a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Wei, Mr. Hu, Aunt Liu, you should just call me Erlang. Dongjia or something like that is too awkward."
Chen Changfan suggested, but the three refused.
"I've decided to follow you. You're my boss."
"The boss is the boss, the rules cannot be broken."
"I'm a woman with little education and no language skills, so I think calling him 'boss' is the most appropriate."
