The next morning, before dawn, the weather was as dry and cold as yesterday.

Zhao Erbao, Zhao Shi, and Zhao Lanlan had already gotten up, and they could hear the dogs urging the bed. The dog is small, but it is also a small half of the labor, and the children of the poor are in charge of the house early. Stock up on something to satisfy your hunger and keep the family through the winter. It's better to be alive than anything else!

"Brother Zhao, I'll go too!"

The Zhao family was so poor that Zhang Weidong couldn't lie down in peace, so he had to open his mouth to participate.

He lay down in his clothes last night, not feeling well, and slept in the middle of the night. As soon as I heard a slight noise outside, I woke up immediately.

In the cold courtyard, the frost was white, and Zhao Erbao was packing up the basket and was surprised by Zhang Weidong's request.

"Big brother, your injuries are not healed yet, and I don't need you to work-"

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I have a special physique, and my wounds heal much faster than ordinary people, even if I go out for a walk. Zhang Weidong said with a smile.

Zhao Erbao thought about it. He had never seen a person with such an injury healed so quickly, and in just three days, such a big wound had magically healed, so he agreed. He was not prepared by Zhang Weidong to carry the basket, but Zhang Weidong took one himself.

Zhao Erbao didn't care, anyway, he didn't treat Zhang Weidong as a laborer.

In a moment, the Zhao family, her sister Lan Lan, and her younger brother Goudan all came out, and the whole family set out.

"Brother Zhao, don't you need to keep people at home?"

"There's nothing to worry about at home, there's Xiao Huang to watch the house, and then let the neighbors look at the door. ”

Seeing that Zhao Erbao didn't care, Zhang Weidong didn't persuade him.

The neighbor's house was next door, and there were three thatched huts, and a big yellow cow in the cowshed. There was a big cart in the yard, and there were some big logs. There are quite a few wood chips on the ground, which seems to be a carpenter's house.

"Iron Egg!"

"Brother Erbao!"

Zhao Erbao shouted. Not long after, a man came out of a room, carpenter Zhao Tiedan.

Zhao Erbao explained, 'Look at the door', Zhao Tiedan responded with his mouth, and didn't say anything, as if he was used to it. Zhao Tiedan glanced at Zhang Weidong curiously, but didn't ask anything.

Everyone went out of the village.

"Most of the people in Zhao Village are surnamed Zhao, Zhao Tiedan is a carpenter, and he is a carpenter, and even people from other villages ask him to make furniture. And there is an old mother at home, Aunt Zhao, who has bad eyes, so they don't need to go out to pick wild vegetables. Tie Dan's family is very good, and when they usually go out, they let him look at the door-" Zhao Erbao explained.

Zhang Weidong chimed in: "It's a good neighbor!"

"yes—"

The road was deserted, and there were no other villagers in Zhao Village.

In this regard, Zhao Erbao explained: "Seventy percent of the fields in Zhao Village belong to the old man Zhao Baozhu in Lizheng, and there are very few tenants with land, and most of them rent crops. In previous years, the harvest was okay, and the rations were not enough, but I could make a living by collecting some wild vegetables and doing odd jobs in the town. And everyone is familiar with it, even if you are looking for wild vegetables, each family has also divided into districts. No one else will come to this piece. ”

The implication is that this piece belongs to Zhao Erbao's family. The rest of the area belongs to someone else. So, hello, hello, everyone. Zhang Weidong also noticed. The area of fields passed along the way is not small, and there is no end in sight. It is very flat, and it should be considered a middle to high dry field. It is estimated that the crops in the field have already been harvested, and even the straw has been harvested, leaving only a small crop stubble.

Again by the creek.

Zhao Lanlan and the Goudan sisters and brothers were quiet as soon as they arrived here, sensibly carrying a small backpack and looking for wild vegetables all over the ground. Those wild plants are mainly grown close to the ground and have thick leaves. Only wild plants with thick leaves can still be fresh green at this time. The leaves are thin, and they have long since become dead grass and dead leaves.

Zhao Erbao and Zhao were also busy, and they didn't give Zhang Weidong any collection tasks. It is estimated that he still treats him as a guest and an injured person, and lets him go sightseeing.

In fact, there are wild vegetables, but they are not full. If you really don't want to go hungry, you have to have meat, rice, and noodles. I don't know if it's because of being like a mortal, or because of the huge consumption caused by recovering from his injuries, Zhang Weidong also felt hungry and thirsty in his stomach. Of course, it's purely a feeling.

His body mainly absorbs vitality, and the consumption during the recuperation period can only be his qi and blood. Before the injury is healed, the qi and blood replenishment is insufficient, and he may become thinner and thinner, and the qi and blood will become less and less.

"Eat more meat—"

Meat contains a lot of qi and blood, and it is still somewhat useful.

Zhang Weidong looked around, near the mountains and forests, and the area was not small, and the mountains and forests were full of shadows. However, at the edge of Dali Mountain, the trees are not abundant enough, and you can only go into the mountains to hunt by wading through the river.

"There should be wild animals in the forest, but I wonder if there are fish in the river?"

For the unknown in the mountains, Zhang Weidong does not plan to rush in. The small river is not big, two or three zhang wide, and the water is a little muddy, and it does not seem to be too deep.

Zhang Weidong went to fold a straight branch with the thickness of his thumb, used a firewood knife to remove the excess branches, and sharpened one end, which was a wooden throwing gun. He made a few more handfuls, took them in his hand and paddled them, and they were barely usable

"Sister, what is the uncle doing, is he making a slingshot?" Goudan trotted to his sister's side and looked at Zhang Weidong's actions curiously.

Zhao Lanlan was also puzzled: "My sister doesn't know—"

"Then I'll ask!"

"Come back!"

Zhao Lanlan grabbed her younger brother and said with a serious education: "Uncle is doing serious things, let's not disturb him, okay?"

Dogan thought about it for a while, but he still nodded, but it was fun to glance at the river from time to time. He originally wanted to go, but the Zhao family never let him get close to the river, it was too dangerous.

Actually, Zhao Lanlan was also wondering. However, Zhang Weidong was a guest of the Zhao family, and she was embarrassed to ask

At this time, the river was very cold, and Zhang Weidong couldn't help but shiver when he rolled up his trousers, waded barefoot into the water, and stepped on pebbles and sand.

"Is this really mortal?

However, the river water was a few degrees below zero, which actually made him feel very uncomfortable. However, it was only discomfort, and Zhang Weidong quickly adapted to it. After all, this physical body still has a foundation, and it is much stronger than mortals.

The river is fast and muddy, but not enough for the fish to surface. Want to fish. It's not easy. Fortunately, there are fish in the river.

A moment later. Zhang Weidong moved, and the wooden gun in his hand stabbed down violently. Quickly lifted, a four-pound gray-backed white-bellied fish was pierced by a wooden spear through the gills of the fish, struggling to death. It resembles the broad body of a carp, but it is long and streamlined, and the meat is not small.

"Uncle is spearfishing-" Zhao Lanlan was stunned.

How?

The dog had already noticed it, forgot the lesson of being beaten in the buttocks, and ran over with a smoke, biting his fingers and looking at the fish with blank eyes. Very curious.

"Dogdan, have you ever eaten fish?" Zhang Weidong teased him, while talking about the fatty fish and took it off and threw it into the back basket.

"Uncle, is this a fish, is it for the dog's eggs?"

"Yes, go home in a while, and let your mother make fish for the dog!"

“――”

Thereupon. Comrade Dogan pouted his ass and crawled in front of the back basket, staring at the fat fish inside, wanting to reach out and touch it. But he was timid, and he could only watch death firmly. Even his sister Zhao Lanlan ignored him when he called him.

Zhang Weidong smiled and lay down in the river again.

Two hours later. Zhang Weidong went ashore. At this time, there were more than 30 fatty fish in the back basket. The big ones weigh five or six pounds, and the small ones weigh more than two pounds. It's basically the same kind of fish, with one or two hundred catties, and the back basket is full.

Later, Zhao Lanlan couldn't help but go over, and was inexplicably surprised when she saw so many fatty fish.

Uncle is amazing!

She is sensible, and knows that so many river fish can be sold for a lot of money if they are sold in the town.

The dog doesn't care about anything else, he just thinks about eating it. The uncle promised him to let him eat fish, two big bowls!

When he returned, Zhang Weidong harpooned a large basket, which still alarmed Zhao Erbao and Zhao.

When Zhao Erbao and Zhao saw so many river fish in the back basket, and then looked at Zhang Weidong, their eyes were shocked, full of incredulity. The people of Zhao Village are not unaware that there are fish in this small river, but it is too difficult to catch fish. In addition to being able to catch a few fish and try them out during the summer floods, it is more likely that you will run for nothing the rest of the time.

Obviously, Zhang Weidong's ability broke their cognition and became a very capable person.

"Brother Zhang is a capable person!"

Back at Zhao Erbao's house, the big back basket was placed on the stone mill.

Zhao glanced at Zhao Erbao several times, but Zhao Erbao ignored it at all. When Zhang Weidong picked out a few fatty fish and asked Zhao to cook, Zhao smiled, and Zhao Erbao hesitated.

"Lan Lan, send a few eggs to Uncle Tiedan's house!" Zhao Erbao shouted.

"Got it, Dad!" Zhao Lanlan turned around and wanted to go into the house to get something.

Zhang Weidong was surprised, then understood, summoned Lan Lan, and caught two river fish from the back basket.

"Keep the eggs, send this over!"

"This can't be done, this can't be done!"

After some pushing, Zhao Lanlan happily took two river fish to Zhao Tiedan's house next door to give gifts, which also meant sharing. After all, in Zhao Village, it is not easy to eat a meal of meat, except for the smell of meat during the New Year's holidays.

This made Zhao Erbao very embarrassed.

"Brother Zhang, I don't know what you plan to do with the rest of the river fish? I mean, it's not easy for Brother Zhang to be alone, tomorrow happens to be the town's market, it's better to go to the town and sell the river fish, it's also a lot of money, it's too wasteful to eat like this-" Zhao Erbao suggested.

Zhang Weidong thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow's town market?"

"Yes, there is a market every month!"

"Brother Zhao, these river fish are very valuable, what is the price of chestnut rice?"

Zhao Erbao was stunned for a moment, and truthfully introduced: "Chestnut rice is 5 copper coins per catty, and raw pork is 25 copper coins per catty, as for this fish, there are few sold in the bazaar, and it may be sold for 50 copper coins——"

Zhang Weidong forked a lot of river fish in the morning, and it is estimated that there are at least 160 catties, which may be almost 8 silver coins (in the text, 1 silver coin = 1000 copper coins, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin). And 5 copper coins for a pound of chestnut rice, then his harvest this morning can actually buy nearly 1,600 pounds of chestnut rice, which is almost enough for Zhao Erbao's family of four to eat for a year.

Zhang Weidong was immediately happy.

I didn't expect spearfish to be so rich?

At the same time, he sighed that the mortals at the bottom of this world are very poor, and the 'money' in this world is really valuable!

If he wants to heal the injury on his body, there is no shortcut, so he can only take his time. Optimistic calculation, it is estimated that it will take ten or eight years. And for such a long time, he couldn't sit back and wait for the day to be weak, and he had to think about the future. In other words, he has to earn a job to protect himself, to ensure that he can survive in peace until his injuries heal.

Money and manpower are indispensable!

Even recently, he was embarrassed to live in Zhao Erbao's house all the time, and he had to move out depending on the situation.

"Thank you Brother Zhao for reminding me, I have to plan for the future!" Zhang Weidong thanked him.

Zhao Erbao was immediately happy: "Brother Zhang, it's good if you have a plan!"

Zhang Weidong said again: "I plan to go to the river in the afternoon and evening to see if I can catch more fish and come back, just tomorrow to go to the market!"

"Iron Egg has an ox cart, tomorrow I will send furniture to the town, I can carry some-" (To be continued......)
