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

"Huh? Why is there suddenly no movement in the river?"

"Is the water ghost gone? I was really scared just now!"

"No, the water ghost is still there, it's overturning the sampan!"

On the river bank, a group of fishermen looked at the river in horror, only to see that the sampan upside down on the water suddenly tilted up, then shook violently, and turned over again.

Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, a figure emerged from the river and climbed onto the sampan.

"Is that a person? Or a ghost?"

"It seems to be... Chen Jia Erlang!"

"Could it be that he was fighting with the water ghost just now? How is that possible!"

As everyone was talking, they saw Chen Changfan pulling a thin green rope, looking very strenuous.

The giant bony fish weighed over a hundred pounds, and it took him a lot of effort to drag it up.

At this moment, a system prompt finally sounded in his mind, and Chen Changfan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

[Obtained Giant Bone Fish (Orange Quality), Enlightenment Point +1 (Not Available Yet)]

Epiphany?

Suppressing his curiosity, Chen Changfan carefully rowed the boat.

This giant bony fish was terrifyingly huge, with its huge head lying across the boat and its tail still submerged in the water.

The small sampan has a shallow draft, and if the entire giant bone fish is dragged up, it is likely to sink the boat.

Seeing Chen Changfan dragging something out of the water, everyone on the shore immediately looked over curiously.

When he saw the huge, ferocious black and green fish head, they were all shocked.

"That... isn't that the water ghost in the river? It turns out to be a big fish!"

"This fish has such a big mouth and such sharp teeth. I'm afraid it can eat a person in one bite!"

"The fish's head alone is this big, so the whole fish must be four or five meters long and weigh over a hundred kilograms, right?"

Everyone was talking in low voices, as if they were afraid that the big fish would suddenly come back to life, with fear on their faces.

Some brave ones also shouted to Chen Changfan, "Chen Jia Erlang, is this a water ghost or a big fish? Is that guy dead?"

Chen Changfan chuckled, "What kind of water ghost is this? It's just a giant bony fish."

Being able to catch such a big fish is enough to prove Chen Changfan's strength. Even though those people are curious and envious, they dare not have any improper thoughts.

If Chen Jia Erlang can even kill a water ghost, then killing a person shouldn't be easy for him, right?

"Boss, this way—"

The shouts of Old Wei and Hu the bricklayer were heard from the shore, and Chen Changfan steered the boat towards them.

This giant bony fish was really heavy. It took three people working together to drag it ashore, which immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.

"It really is a big fish. I've heard there were water ghosts in this river before..."

"Chen Jia Erlang is an excellent fisherman. He can even catch giant bonefish weighing over 100 kilograms!"

"This fish is so big, it must be worth a lot of money, right?"

Everyone admired Chen Changfan's strength for catching the giant bone fish alone.

Especially a kind of fisherman, who regarded Chen Changfan as a god-like existence.

"Boss, is this the spear gun? It's so powerful!"

Hu the bricklayer was shocked when he saw the harpoon piercing deeply into the fish's body.

I didn't expect that those ordinary wooden parts I made could have such terrifying destructive power when assembled.

He couldn't help but look at the figure in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The boss is becoming more and more unfathomable.

Chen Changfan found a wooden basin and poked a hole in the fish's belly. Immediately, blue blood flowed out, and soon a full basin was filled with blood.

The fish blood was extremely smelly, forcing everyone to step back. However, Chen Changfan remained calm as he took two large basins of blood and brought them onto the sampan.

"Boss, what should we do with this big fish?"

Lao Wei asked his boss for his opinion.

"Hold it onto the truck first. Put away the traps. We'll take it directly to the fish stall later."

"okay!"

Old Wei's eyes were full of excitement.

Old Wei felt proud to be able to pull such a big fish into the county town.

If I had caught this fish myself, I would have walked around the county twice, right?

Chen Changfan gave a few simple instructions, then rowed the boat into the water again, ready to catch a few more fish.

Just now in the water, he unexpectedly discovered that the blood of the giant bony fish seemed to have an inexplicable strong attraction to the fish. In the water where there were originally few fish, many fish now gathered.

If he didn't want to drag the giant bone fish ashore as soon as possible, he would have cast a net to catch a few big fish.

Following the location of the fish nest in my memory, I cast a net.

After a while, after collecting the fishing net, Chen Changfan couldn't help but grin as he felt its heavy weight.

Good weight!

This net must weigh at least thirty or forty kilograms!

On the shaking sampan, Chen Changfan steadied himself and pulled the fishing net up little by little. Soon he pulled up a large net full of fish.

With his sharp eyes, he immediately recognized several strange spirit fish.

"Rainbow carp! Two of them! These colorful fish scales really look like a rainbow!"

"There are actually a few axe pomfret! They're shaped like axes, and look weird, but they taste incredibly delicious!"

At the same time, the system in my mind also issued prompts one after another:

[Obtain Rainbow Carp (Purple Quality), Encounter Point +1]

[Obtain Rainbow Carp (Purple Quality)...]

[Obtained Colorful Axe Pomfret (Purple Quality)...]

With this network, the encounter points increased by 5 points.

I have to say that casting a net to catch fish is much more efficient than fishing by yourself.

Before he had a sampan, he could hardly catch any fish due to the terrain. Now that he has a sampan, he can cast his net directly towards the fish nests, so the harvest is naturally rich.

He cast two more nets, and although he didn't catch any spirit fish, he still managed to catch at least 30 kilograms of fish.

He had to stop temporarily.

In a short while, they caught hundreds of kilograms of fish, and the small sampan could no longer hold them.

He ordered Lao Wei and Hu the bricklayer to sort the fish and load them onto the truck, while he himself poured two basins of blue fish blood into a wooden barrel, put the five precious fish into the bucket, and carried it back home on a shoulder pole.

"These two basins of giant bone fish blood will be very useful. I'll mix it into bait and use it to make nests for catching spirit fish!"

"And these few spiritual fish are all good nourishing foods!"

Similar to the redtail, these spiritual fish all have different miraculous effects.

Rainbow carp is the most nourishing for women. It can not only eliminate many gynecological diseases, but also make people's skin white, delicate and radiant.

The axe pomfret is said to strengthen bones and muscles, and is a favorite of martial artists.

Seeing these strange fish, Shen Cuiyun couldn't help but show her curiosity. "Erlang, are these the spiritual fish you mentioned? If I hadn't seen them with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such strange fish really existed in this world."

"These spiritual fish are good for our health. We'll stew them and eat them tonight. When you collect fish today, keep an eye out. If you come across any unusual fish, keep them. Perhaps they will match the Hundred Tail Notes."

Chen Changfan pointed to another bucket of blue blood and said, "This is the precious blood of the giant bony fish. I will use it to make a nest later to attract spirit fish."

"Giant bony fish... There's a record of it in the Hundred Tail Notes. The book says this fish is ferocious and enjoys eating humans. Its scales are comparable to armor, making it a treasure fish. A fully grown giant bony fish is worth a hundred taels..."

Shen Cuiyun seemed to suddenly understand, and her beautiful eyes stared at Chen Erlang in disbelief, "Erlang, could it be that you... actually caught a giant bony fish?"

Shen Cuiyun's eyes were filled with a bit of surprise and fear, but more of it was filled with respect and admiration.

The admiration of his wife greatly satisfied Chen Erlang's vanity, but he did not take the opportunity to boast, but said frankly:

"I injured this fish before, so it's in a weak state. Otherwise, it would be difficult to catch it."

Although Shen Cuiyun had not seen the giant bony fish with her own eyes, it was not difficult to imagine from the large bucket of fish blood that the giant bony fish must be extremely large, and catching it would certainly not be as easy as her husband said.

"Erlang, I know you're capable, but you must be more careful. No matter how valuable the precious fish is, it's not as important as your safety. If you have to take a risk... don't forget, we have my wife and daughter waiting for you at home."

Shen Cuiyun's words sounded tender, but they carried a lot of weight.

Chen Changfan squeezed his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, my lady. I know what to do. It's getting late. I should go to the county to sell fish."

As he spoke, he gently kissed Shen Cuiyun on the forehead, which immediately made the pretty lady blush.
