By the Clear Water River, a steady stream of rain fell from the sky.
Wang Chen took out his cloak and raincoat from Large Black Donkey's pocket and continued to sit down to fish.
A true fisherman is never afraid of wind and rain.
Suddenly, the goose feather float in the river moved, and Wang Chen quickly picked up the fishing rod with quick eyes and hands.
There was only a sound of water, and a big golden carp was pulled out of the water.
It struggled hard, trying to get rid of the fishhook hanging on its lower lip.
As a result, it fell onto the grass by the river!
Wang Chen smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed the head of the big carp, and then put it into the water-soaked net bag.
Good luck today.
He took the linen cloth and wiped the fishy mucus on his hands, and continued fishing with his ears hanging.
Soon another carp was hooked.
Clear Water River stretches for hundreds of miles, and has never dried up in years of drought. The abundant water not only nourishes the three counties including Qing'an County, but also supports many fishermen with the various fish caught in the river.
Among them, the wild carp is the most delicious. Not only does it not have a muddy taste, but it is also quite nourishing.
Wang Chen I have been fishing at the Clear Water River for nearly a year, and the big carp I caught were only twenty or thirty. Unexpectedly, I kept connecting rods frequently today and quickly filled my net bag.
He looked at the sky, decided to catch one last fish and left.
At this time, Wang Chen did not notice that a shadow quietly appeared under the water plants only ten feet away from him, and silently approached him.
The huge body under the water shook the water surface inadvertently, and there was a faint light of tiny scales.
A pair of scarlet greedy eyes stared fixedly at Wang Chen sitting on the edge of the river bank.
Under the water, a whirlpool suddenly emerged.
At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly stretched out his left hand and picked up a stone on the ground.
With a flick of a finger.
laugh!
The small pebbles suddenly shot out of the air and instantly hit the river water a few feet away, causing countless splashes.
The shadow lurking under the water sank and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A wisp of dark red blood floated up.
Wang Chen glanced coldly.
It is said that a water monster appeared in the Clear Water River recently. Some fishermen were attacked while fishing in the river, causing the boat to be destroyed and people to die.
There were also many cases where children disappeared while playing by the river.
The county government also sent people to investigate, but could not find out the truth. They only posted announcements to remind everyone to pay attention to safety.
Among the people in the countryside, there have been rumors about water monsters for a long time. Many of the stories are absurd and bizarre, and it is difficult to judge whether they are true or false.
But Wang Chen can be sure that there is indeed something strange hidden in this Clear Water River.
By chance it hit his hand.
Although Wang Chen's earth-shattering cultivation level has been sealed, this does not hinder the display of ordinary martial arts. If it were not for the lack of suitable weapons in hand, the water monster trying to attack would not be able to escape.
Due to such an accident, Wang Chen's last wish failed to come true. He put away his fishing rod and net bag angrily, and rode Large Black Donkey back to Qing'an County Town.
The guard guarding the gate was very envious when he saw it. "Wow, Mister Wang, you have great luck today!"
The Large Black Donkey ridden by Wang Chen has a large net bag hanging on its back, and the large carps in it are eye-catching to look at.
As the most famous fishing guy in the past year, these soldiers have known Wang Chen for a long time, and their attitude is quite polite.
"I accept your good advice."
Wang Chen nodded, grabbed a lively carp from the net bag and threw it to the other party. "Everyone who meets you has a share."
The soldier hurriedly opened his arms to hug the carp, and his embarrassed look made the people next to him laugh.
Wang Chen smiled and rode Large Black Donkey back to Tongluo Alley.
"Teacher, let me come."
Chen Yijian, who was guarding the door of the school, quickly stepped forward and took the heavy net bag. "I caught so much!"
Unlike other students, Chen Yijian is grateful for Wang Chen's kindness to him. In addition to taking care of his family, he also tries his best to find time to help Wang Chen with chores.
Such as cleaning, carrying heavy objects, carrying water and chopping firewood, etc.
Wang Chen saw that he was agile and willing to endure hardships, so he asked him to quit his hard work of doing odd jobs and work as a handyman in the school.
Give Chen Yijian an additional one tael of silver every month.
Don't underestimate this one tael of silver, it can fill Chen Yijian's and his mother's and brother's stomachs and stop them from going hungry!
After unloading the fish, Chen Yijian put the fish in the net bag into the three large tanks next to the hall in a familiar way.
These three large tanks are used daily to store water and also double as live fish tanks.
Wang Chen ordered, "Take one back with you."
"Yes."
Chen Yijian bowed respectfully. "Thank you, teacher."
This half-grown boy knows very well that Wang Chen doesn't like to be pushed back and forth, so he just takes it.
As for the kindness accumulated in daily life, it can only be repaid later.
And based on Chen Yijian's understanding of Wang Chen, he, the teacher, doesn't care about his reward at all.
Wang Chen waved his hand. "Go ahead."
Chen Yijian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Teacher, is it okay if I want my younger brother to come and study with you?"
Chen Yijian's younger brother is three years younger than him and has already reached the age of enlightenment.
It's just that Chen Yijian was too embarrassed to mention it before, but now that the time has come, he mustered up the courage. "From now on, just give me five pieces of monthly silver."
"Do I still lack this little money?"
Wang Chen laughed dumbly, "You can come if you want, but there is no place for him in the school."
"Give my seat to him."
Chen Yijian replied without hesitation, "I'll just stand outside and listen."
Wang Chen nodded. "Good."
He has met Chen Yijian's younger brother. He is a very clever little guy. Although he does not have the aura of a snake and python like his elder brother, he is not a dull and ignorant person either.
Chen Yijian was overjoyed and immediately bowed down. "Thank you, teacher!"
In fact, he always wanted to call Wang Chen "Master".
However, Wang Chen refused and treated all students equally in this regard.
Wang Chen stretched out his hand to support him. "There's no need to bow to him. It's getting dark soon. You can go home."
After Chen Yijian left, the school became very quiet, even a little lonely.
After dinner, Wang Chen came to the study.
He sat down and lit the oil lamp, took a volume of book and flipped through a few pages, when he suddenly felt something in his heart.
Wang Chen was startled for a moment, then put down the book, got up and walked to the window sill.
Pushing the Gate of Opening window, he looked up at the night sky and saw a bright moon rising above Sky Dome.
People today cannot see the moon of ancient times, but the moon of today once shone on ancient people. People in ancient times and today are like running water, and they all look at the bright moon like this!
The cold moonlight fell on Wang Chen's body, as if he was covered with a layer of silver frost.
Countless memories sealed in the deepest part of Divine Soul suddenly appeared in Wang Chen's mind.
He stood there for a long time, feeling a little crazy.
