Wushuang slept well that night. The room was warm enough, and the newly made straw bed was also warm. When he woke up, Wushuang rarely felt comfortable all over.

When she got up in the morning, Wushuang prepared to cook some rice for herself. There was half a tank of multigrain rice in the rice vat next to the stove, which was collected by people in the village who gave two bowls to one family and one pot to that family.

In addition to the rice, there was also a full tank of water, which was also filled by people from the village. Wushuang was a little touched when she saw it. I have to say that the people in the village really took care of her as much as possible.

Wushuang lit the fire and cooked a pot of porridge. He drank two large bowls of porridge with a faint snoring, and then he felt a little full.

After eating, Wushuang did not rush to practice martial arts. When the body was exhausted, practicing martial arts was seeking death. Although practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, eating during the training process is very detrimental to physical fitness.

If you still dare to practice martial arts if you can't keep up with food and drink, you are seeking death, even if you are practicing internal martial arts.

Before, Wushuang had no choice but to practice "All Sects Return to One". She was anxious to have the inner strength to reduce her fever and save her life. Now that she was fine, she naturally wanted to find meat first.

It is definitely not possible to go hunting into the mountains, not even at the foot of the mountains, because in the memory of the original owner, wild beasts often come down the mountains, especially in winter, where wolves, tigers, and black bears have happened.

Needless to say, even if Wushuang is allowed to practice martial arts for three months, these beasts that come down the mountain can become meat on her plate, but now, she meets someone who can only serve them as snacks.

Since the beast's idea was out of the question, Wu Shuang simply decided to go to the river. There was a river not far from the village. If anyone wanted to eat fish, they could dig a hole in the ice and follow the oxygen.

The fish has fallen into the trap.

Because every house next to the river has a fishing net or fish basket, Wushuang searched around the house and found a fishing net.

This thing was worthless, and the people who came to collect the debt didn't like it at first. It was convenient for Wushuang, because he didn't have to go to other people's homes to borrow it.

With the fishing net now available, Wushuang wove a fish basket out of weeds. The fish basket made from weeds was light enough that Wushuang could carry it. If it were a basket made from wicker, with Wushuang's current physique, the weight of the basket itself would be too much.

She was exhausted enough.

When Wushuang arrived at the river, people from the village had already cut ice on the river. Not all holes in the ice can contain fish. You have to look at the place to find fish if you cut above the fish. Otherwise, you can only find fish.

Got three or two fish.

Of course, it would be easier to catch fish if you dig a hole in the ice to make a nest and raise a school of fish, but you need food to make a nest. At this time of year, you don’t even have enough food to eat, so who would be willing to use it to make a nest.

Everyone depends on their luck. If they encounter a school of fish, they will not only have enough fish for themselves, but also a lot more. Whether they freeze it and eat it slowly or sell it for money.

Wushuang is the kind of person who can see schools of fish. After all, he has lived in countless worlds and can learn even the most difficult things. The skill of seeing schools of fish was developed by Wushuang after fishing in several worlds.

Wushuang walked on the river for a long time, checking it out. Combined with the original owner's memory of watching people fishing, he slowly selected a place where there might be a school of fish.

Wushuang drew a circle, but after drawing the circle, Wushuang was dumbfounded again. She forgot to borrow the tools for cutting ice, and all the farm tools at home were taken away by the debt collectors. There were none.

Or a villager who was cutting ice to catch fish nearby saw Wu Shuang's appearance, and came over with a soft heart and said: "Shuang girl, do you want to cut ice to catch fish? Third uncle can help you."

As he spoke, he waved the ice pick in his hand and started chipping away at the ice. This third uncle's surname was Shen, Xing San. Outsiders called him Shen Laosan, and juniors like Wushuang called him Third Uncle.

Shen Laosan likes to dig ice holes for fishing all year round, so he digs ice holes very quickly. It didn't take long for him to help Wushuangba dig a hole in the ice.

It is estimated that because Wushuang is young, Shen Laosan did not make the ice hole big for Wushuang, just because he was afraid that Wushuang would accidentally lose his footing and fall down again.

After digging the hole in the ice, Shen Laosan said to Wushuang: "Just wait here to catch fish. Don't worry, the fish in winter are eager to breathe, so there will definitely be fish."

After saying that, Shen Laosan was about to leave, but before he could leave, he saw a swarm of fish swarming up under the water.

Shen Laosan stared at the school of fish with his mouth open, then looked at Wu Shuang, and said: "I hit the top of the school of fish, Shuang girl, good luck!"

Wushuang hurriedly took the net to catch fish, urging Shen Laosan: "Uncle Shen, don't be stunned, catch the fish quickly!"

Urged by Wu Shuang, Shen Lao San also hurriedly took down the large net he was holding and came over to help Wu Shuang fish out from the ice. Shen Lao San was very strong and could catch fish much faster than Wu Shuang.

The school of fish below was huge. Wu Shuang and Shen Laosan hurried and hurried slowly for fear that the fish would run away. They were sweating profusely from the hard work in the winter.

By the time there were no more fish to be fished out from the water, a large area of ​​fish had spread out on the ice. Wu Shuang and Shen Laosan fell down on the ice and panted. They were too tired.

Shen Laosan regained his composure and smiled at Wushuang: "Shuang girl, you are amazing. You saw such a large school of fish this time. You can get a lot of money by selling them. You don't have to worry about food and drink this winter. Maybe you can still survive." Buy a quilt..."

Shen Laosan was talking a lot about how Wushuang could improve his life if he got these fish. He had no intention of coveting these fish at all.

Wushuang looked at the fish. They were not very big fish. The longest fish weighed about two kilograms and the smallest weighed seven or eight taels. Wushuang got up and separated the fish into piles.

Shen Laosan looked curious and asked Wushuang: "No, why are you putting these fish in piles?"

Wushuang divided all the fish, stood up, pointed to the largest pile and said, "This is for you, Third Uncle Shen. If Uncle Shen hadn't helped me cut the ice and fish for me, I wouldn't have been able to get these fish." "

After speaking, Wushuang pointed to the two slightly smaller piles of fish and said: "This is for the village chief's uncle and Niu's family. If the village chief's uncle hadn't given me a pair of cotton clothes this time, I would have frozen to death." .

If Aunt Niu hadn't asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for me, I would have died of illness. There are still some leftovers for the people in the village, a pile for each family. If not for everyone's help, I would have no house to live in and no food to eat. Without firewood, we definitely can’t survive.”

Shen Laosan felt soft in his heart when he saw Wu Shuang clasping his fingers and recounting all the people who had helped her.

When they helped people out of kindness, they didn't expect the little girl to repay them with anything in return, but seeing the grateful heart of the person who had helped, his heart still felt soft and warm. It felt so comfortable to feel that good intentions were rewarded.

Although he was very moved, Shen Laosan still refused: "We are very happy if you two girls have this intention. Listen to the third uncle. The third uncle will help you sell these fish. In exchange for the money, you can buy yourself some food and a bed." Don’t give us the quilt.”

Wushuang naturally refused and insisted on sharing it with everyone. Later, Shen Laosan saw that Wushuang couldn't make sense and even called the village chief and Aunt Niu, and then he persuaded Wushuang.

However, Wushuang didn't use all of it to sell the fish. He divided half of the fish among everyone, and asked Shen Laosan to sell the remaining half of the fish for her.

Every winter, Shen Laosan dug ice on the river to catch fish. He got much luck, so he sold them in the county town. He knew where to sell the fish quickly.

In addition to what was sold and shared with everyone, Wushuang only had two fish weighing about two kilograms. After returning home, Wushuang was a little worried about how to cook the fish.

The iron pot at home had been taken away by the debt collector a long time ago. The current pot is a clay pot given to her by Mrs. Niu. It can be used to cook porridge, but not stir-fry.

Wushuang thought for a while, then simply cleaned the fish, tied it with two wooden sticks, and roasted it on the fire. When it was roasted, sprinkle some salt on it and it tasted good. Wushuang killed a fish in one meal.

After eating the fish and having meat in his stomach, Wushuang sat cross-legged and meditated. After a little practice, he gained a little bit of internal strength.

This internal strength had no other use. When Wushuang went to the river the next day, he killed a half-sized mouse with a branch while passing by a pile of firewood.

Wushuang originally thought it might be a rabbit or something. In this era, there are as many wild rabbits as wild mice. It would not be strange to see them in haystacks or in the fields.

Wushuang was a little regretful when he saw that it was not a rabbit. Many people in the village ate rat meat, but Wushuang would not eat rats unless absolutely necessary.

It's not that he doesn't dare to eat rats, but Wushuang always feels that rats are unclean. Rat meat is a reservoir of bacteria and viruses, and it will never be clean no matter how it is cooked.

But Wushuang didn't want it, but a child running next to him happily rushed up and picked up the dead mouse and asked Wushuang: "Don't you want this mouse?"

Wushuang shook his head and said no. The child immediately carried the mouse happily and ran home shouting that he wanted to eat meat. Such a big mouse was enough for the whole family to eat a meal.

Wushuang went to the river where the ice hole had been dug yesterday. It had been dug here before, and the ice was not thick now. Wushuang quickly cut through the newly formed ice.

This time, no fish came out when the ice was cut open. Wushuang was not in a hurry and threw away all the leftover fish heads, bones, scales and internal organs that he had eaten before, making a shallow nest.

After that, Wushuang looked at the ice, made a simple fishhook, hung a piece of fish intestines, and slowly waited to see if any fish would bite the hook.

Wushuang didn't expect much at first, but he didn't expect that there were actually fish biting the hook, but not many. Wushuang waited for a long time before he got three fish.

One big fish weighed more than two kilograms, and the remaining two together weighed more than one kilogram. Although it was not much, Wushuang was very happy. The three fish were enough for her to eat for a day.

Shen Laosan brought the things she had exchanged for selling fish to Wushuang the next afternoon. A quilt, which was so big that she could even use it as a blanket and a pair of thick-soled shoes, for winter wear.

After Wushuang thanked Shen Laosan and sent Shen Laosan away, he immediately spread the quilt on the bed and put on his shoes. Shen Laosan deliberately bought these shoes two sizes too large so that Wushuang could wear them for about two years.

This is also a characteristic of poor families when buying clothes and shoes for their children. They buy clothes and shoes that are two sizes larger than the correct size, so that they can wear them for two more years and save money.

This pair of shoes is not the best. Although it is warm, it is not particularly warm. It just so happens that Wushuang can wrap his feet in two layers of cloth and put on the shoes, which is almost perfect.

In the past two days, Wushuang would throw the leftover fish intestines and fish maws from the fish he had eaten into the hole in the ice that was dug on the first day.

This place was dug open by Wushuang every day and food was thrown in. Slowly, some fish were raised inside. Wushuang could catch at most three or four fish in the first few days, and he might not even be able to catch a single fish.

But in the past few days, Wushuang has been able to gain something every time, and he no longer returns empty-handed. Especially today, Wushuang caught a big fish.

Wushuang didn't notice it at the time. He just felt a fish biting the hook and quickly pulled the rope. As a result, the fish's head was pulled to the surface and immediately sank desperately.

If it hadn't been for the quick hands without eyes that quickly grabbed the gills and pulled it up, the big fish would have run away. After all, her current hooks and lines are very simple and cannot withstand the tug of such a big fish.

This time, Wushuang pulled out a long fish from the water conservancy. Its body was round and thick, and it got stuck in the hole in the ice. When Wushuang pulled it out, the hole in the ice was enlarged a little.

This fish weighed several dozen kilograms. Wushuang happily held the fish and held on to it. This fish was a specialty of this river and there was not much of it. Wushuang remembered that the village chief’s son had caught one before and sent it to the county restaurant. It was enough

Earned seven taels of silver.

Wushuang dragged the fish with a slumped belly and went to Shen Laosan to help sell the fish. Fortunately, Shen Laosan was digging ice on the river to feed the fish. He was lucky. He also dug into the fish yesterday and made a big profit.

, we are now vigorously digging holes in the ice.

Seeing Wushuang dragging a big fish that was taller than her, Shen Laosan was startled and said in surprise: "This is the fish king in the river, Shuang girl, you caught this!"

Shen Laosan was not suspicious of Wushuang, but was shocked. Of course, the Fish King was not the real Fish King. People in the village just called this huge fish the Fish King.

The King Fish is not only difficult to catch, because there is no one in the village who has not seen the King Fish, but it is extremely difficult to catch the King Fish.

The king of fish not only means that it is large enough, but also means that the meat of this fish has the best taste. Even when it is cooked, it does not have a fishy smell, and the taste is also the best. This is also the reason why the price of the king of fish is high.

Although this fish is worth several taels of silver when sold to a restaurant, the restaurant can sell this king fish for at least a hundred taels of silver if it is made into a dish.

Wushuang hugged the fish king with difficulty and said to Shen Laosan: "This fish king was caught in the ice cave where I fish every day. Uncle Shen, can you help me sell this fish?"

Shen Laosan said cheerfully: "Okay, it just so happens that you have never been to the county town. This time my third uncle will take you to the county town with him to open your eyes and have some fun in the county town."

Wushuang knew that the reason why Shen Laosan wanted to take her to the county town was not only to let her go to the county town to open her eyes, but also because the fish sold this time was King Fish and there was a lot of money. He wanted to avoid suspicion and let Wushuang collect the money directly.

I couldn't tell clearly afterward.

Wushuang herself would not doubt it, but she was afraid that others would suspect that Shen Laosan was greedy for her, an orphan girl's money, so she said cheerfully: "I just happened to want to buy an iron pot, so thank you, Uncle San, for taking me to the county town."

Shen Laosan's family had an ox cart, which he bought with money from selling fish. Seeing that it was still early, Shen Laosan directly hitched the ox cart, pulled Wu Shuang and the king fish she caught, and headed straight for the county town.
