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

After a busy day, Chen Changfan missed his wife and daughter a little, so he rode his pony and returned to the city in the dark.

Halfway through the walk, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several figures swaying in front of him. Chen Changfan quickly pulled the reins, drew his bow and arrow, and aimed at the figures from a distance.

Anyone who hangs around on the road late at night is definitely not a good person.

"Don't be alarmed, my dear! We are just refugees who have escaped and have no intention of offending you!"

Seeing Chen Changfan draw his bow, someone in the figure immediately spoke out, obviously afraid.

"Where did you flee from? Why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Chen Changfan still did not relax his vigilance and asked while maintaining the posture of drawing the bow.

"Good man! My whole family has fled from Yuzhou. Could you please put down your bows and arrows and talk to me first?"

Yuzhou?

Qingshan County is located in the north of Yongzhou, and further north is Yuzhou.

Could it be that Yuzhou has also suffered a disaster and the refugees have fled here?

With the help of moonlight, Chen Changfan could clearly see the appearance of the whole family.

The middle-aged man in the lead had a thin face, and behind him was an equally skinny middle-aged woman. Behind the woman was a half-grown baby.

The two kids looked at the bow and arrow in Chen Changfan's hand with some fear. They were so scared that they dared not breathe. There was always a hungry expression on their dirty little faces.

Seeing the four people in such a mess, Chen Changfan sighed, put down his bow and arrow, and continued to ask:

"What disaster happened to Yuzhou? How did you escape?"

Seeing the other party put down his bow and arrow, the middle-aged man seemed to be relieved, and then said with a bitter face:

"First there were floods, and the crops were completely destroyed. Life was already difficult, but then came the plague, and everyone in the village died. My family of three was lucky enough to survive, but we were completely starving. We had no choice but to leave our home and flee all the way here."

Chen Changfan believed the middle-aged man's words to some extent.

A flood will drown countless people and animals, and the flood will not recede quickly, so it will carry the virus and spread everywhere, causing a plague.

It is said that "after floods there will be plagues", which refers to this situation.

The family of three was able to escape, probably not because they were lucky, but because they had special antibodies in their bodies, so they managed to survive.

But life in this world is difficult. Without a home, there is no source of food. It is extremely difficult for them to escape all the way to Yongzhou.

"Good man! We haven't eaten for three days. Could you please give us something to eat? We can still carry it, but it's hard for the children..."

The middle-aged woman fell to her knees and begged Chen Changfan for some food.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a pancake from his arms and threw it at the woman.

"I only have this one piece of bread in exchange for some information. Also, if you try to get in my way again, don't blame me for my blind bow and arrows!"

Although he is not a heartless person, he is not a saint either.

He knew how troublesome it would be if he got entangled with these refugees, so he spoke the ugly words directly in advance.

"Thank you, my good man! Thank you, my good man!"

The couple took the pancake, tore off half and handed it to the child behind them, while they each broke off a small piece and put it in their mouths, chewing it with intoxication.

The middle-aged man swallowed the pancake and bowed solemnly to Chen Changfan, saying, "My name is Shi Jian, my dear. Please feel free to ask whatever you want to ask."

"Did you encounter or hear of any bandits on your way here?"

Shi Jian thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "Good man, we haven't encountered any bandits on our way here. Perhaps they saw that we were poor, so they didn't bother to do anything to us?"

There were no bandits on the road...

But Cheng Weimin and Shang Zhengren spent all day exaggerating how the horse bandits burned, killed, looted, and were so cruel and brutal.

It is obvious that these two people deliberately fabricated it.

However, judging by the development of this chaotic world, it may have exceeded one's imagination.

In Yuzhou alone, entire villages have been wiped out, and refugees have fled their homes. I am afraid that they will soon turn into bandits or even riots.

"I'll give you a fishing rod. Go dig for earthworms and fish. Whether you can catch fish depends on your luck."

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. He knew that giving one or two bites of food could not completely solve the crisis of this family, so he took out the fishing rod he had discarded before and gave it to them.

"Thank you, my good man! May good people live a peaceful life!"

Shi Jian thanked him deeply, but Chen Changfan had already ridden away.

The journey was safe and sound, but he was still a little worried.

In this world, there are not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters.

Simply finding a hole to hide in was not a perfect solution. What he needed was an impenetrable fortress.

Using the underground cave as an escape shelter, a fortress was built on Xiaofeng Mountain.

While making full use of the surrounding natural resources, try to stay away from disputes in the underworld.

Once the fortress is built, it can not only defend against foreign enemies, but also gradually develop and expand its own power.

In addition, he now has coal resources, and perhaps he can climb the industrial technology tree in the future to smelt iron and cast. If he can create a groundbreaking weapon like the musket, he will surely be able to protect himself in this chaotic world.

This is not Chen Changfan's daydream. Today, he prepared sulfuric acid, which is actually the first step towards industrialization.

Of course, this is just a small step.

If you want to achieve industrialization, such simple acid-making equipment is not enough, but it should be enough to help the Nether Crocodile escape.

After entering the city, he jumped into the room through the window again and found that Shen Cuiyun was not asleep and even left a light on for him.

"Madam, didn't I tell you to go to bed first?"

Chen Changfan looked at his wife's troubled expression and felt distressed.

Seeing her husband coming back, Shen Cuiyun was no longer sleepy. She sat up, hugged her husband's strong waist, and said in a coquettish tone: "I'm waiting for the tiger-fighting hero to come back."

"A tiger is nothing. One day I'll hunt a man-bear for you."

Chen Changfan said with some pride.

"do not want!"

Shen Cuiyun pouted and shook her head in refusal. "I don't want a human bear. I just want you to be safe."

Feeling the arm suddenly tightening around his waist, Chen Changfan couldn't help but feel a little touched.

Shen Cuiyun was a good woman. She was not afraid of hardship or poverty, and all her decisions were followed.

If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, with her kind and gentle nature, she would definitely be a capable mistress of the house.

But in today's chaotic world, he has to go out and take risks. Although she is worried and afraid, she can still protect this small home for herself.

If you have a wife like this, what can your husband ask for?

He looked at his lovely wife who was looking at him eagerly, and then at the little baby who was sleeping carefreely. His heart was filled with the desire to do everything he could to protect his family.

"My dear, I promise I won't do anything risky. Our future will definitely get better and better."

Shen Cuiyun nodded heavily.

Her man's words always made her feel at ease. She felt that she could no longer live without him and wished she could be with him all the time.

Shen Cuiyun quietly untied Chen Changfan's belt, her pretty face flushed with shame.

"Madam, why are you so anxious?" came the man's joking voice.

Shen Cuiyun snorted softly, "You specifically told me you'd be back tonight, isn't it because you're still thinking about that?"

"Hehe, my lady understands me..."

The man's big hands moved even faster, removing the clothes of both people in a few strokes.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, Shen Cuiyun lowered her voice and warned, "Be quiet, don't wake the child..."

Then, she felt her body lighten and was lifted up by the man.

"Erlang..."
