Gou Becomes a Boss in the Fairy World

Chapter 1462: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (VI)

On the banks of the Qingshui River, drizzling raindrops fell from the sky.

Wang Chen took out a cloak and raincoat from the pocket of the big black donkey and put it on, then sat down to continue fishing.

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 a "splash" of water, a golden big 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 on the grass by the river with a snap!

Wang Chen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to grab the head of the big carp, and then put it into the soaked net bag.

Good luck today.

He took the linen cloth to wipe the fishy mucus on his hands, and continued to fish by hanging his ears.

Soon another carp was hooked.

The Qingshui River stretches for hundreds of miles and has never dried up even in years of severe drought. The abundant water not only nourishes the three counties including Qing'an, but also feeds many fishermen with the various fish produced in the river.

Among them, the wild big carp is the most delicious. Not only does it not have the smell of mud, but it is also quite nourishing.

Wang Chen has been fishing in the Qingshui River for nearly a year, and he has only caught 20 or 30 big carps. Unexpectedly, he caught so many carps today that his net bag was soon filled.

He looked at the sky and decided to catch one last one before leaving.

At this time, Wang Chen did not notice that a shadow quietly emerged under the water plants only ten feet away from him, and approached him silently.

The huge body under the water inadvertently shook the water surface, and a little bit of fine scale light appeared faintly.

A pair of scarlet greedy eyes stared at Wang Chen sitting on the river bank.

Under the water surface, a whirlpool suddenly appeared.

At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly stretched out his left hand and picked up a stone on the ground.

He flicked his finger.

Swish!

The small stone suddenly shot out through the air and instantly hit the river water several feet away, causing countless splashes of water.

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 Qingshui River recently. Some fishermen were attacked while fishing in the river, resulting in the destruction of the boat and the death of people.

There were also many cases of children playing by the river and disappearing.

The county government also sent people to investigate, but they could not find the truth. They just posted a notice to remind everyone to pay attention to safety.

In the countryside, rumors about water monsters have a long history. Many 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 Qingshui River.

It happened to hit his hand.

Although Wang Chen's earth-shattering cultivation has been sealed, this does not prevent him from using his ordinary martial arts. If he had not had a suitable weapon, the water monster that tried to attack would have been doomed.

With such an accident, Wang Chen's last wish could not be realized. He put away his fishing rod and net bag in a sullen manner and rode back to Qing'an County on his big black donkey.

The soldiers guarding the gate were very envious when they saw him: "Wow, Mr. Wang, you are so lucky today!"

There was a large net bag full of big carps hanging on the back of the big black donkey that Wang Chen rode, and the big carps inside were eye-catching.

As the most famous fisherman in the past year, these soldiers had known Wang Chen for a long time and were quite polite.

"Thank you for your good words."

Wang Chen nodded, grabbed a lively carp from the net bag and threw it to the other party: "Everyone who sees it will have a share."

??????55.??????

The soldier hurriedly opened his arms and hugged the carp, and his embarrassed appearance made the people around him laugh.

Wang Chen smiled and rode his big black donkey back to Tongluo Lane.

"Teacher, let me do it."

Chen Yijian, who was guarding the entrance of the school, hurried forward and took the heavy net bag: "You caught so many fish!"

Unlike other students, Chen Yijian was grateful for Wang Chen's kindness to him. In addition to taking care of his family, he also tried to take time to help Wang Chen with chores.

For example, cleaning, carrying heavy objects, fetching water and chopping wood, etc.

Wang Chen saw that he was quick and willing to endure hardships, so he asked him to quit his hard work as a part-time worker and work as a handyman in the school.

Chen Yijian was paid an extra 1 tael of silver every month.

Don't underestimate this 1 tael of silver, it can fill the stomachs of Chen Yijian, his mother and brother, and no longer starve!

After unloading the fish, Chen Yijian put the fish in the net bag into the three large tanks next to the school with familiarity.

These three large tanks are used to store water on a daily basis and also serve as live fish tanks.

Wang Chen ordered: "Take one back."

"Yes."

Chen Yijian bowed respectfully: "Thank you, teacher."

The teenager knew very well that Wang Chen didn't like to be pushed around, so he just took it.

As for the kindness accumulated in daily life, it can only be repaid in the future.

And based on Chen Yijian's understanding of Wang Chen, his teacher would not care about his return at all.

Wang Chen waved his hand: "Go."

Chen Yijian hesitated for a moment and asked: "Teacher, I want my younger brother to come and learn from you, okay?"

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 didn't dare to mention it before, now that he feels that the time is ripe, he mustered up the courage: "In the future, you can just give me five cents of monthly silver."

"Do I need this little silver?"

Wang Chen laughed dumbly: "Come if you want, but there is no place for him in the school."

"I'll give him my place."

Chen Yijian answered without hesitation: "I'll just stand outside and listen to the lecture."

Wang Chen nodded: "Good."

He had seen Chen Yijian's younger brother, a very clever little guy. Although he didn't have the aura of a snake or a python like his brother, he was not that stupid and ignorant.

Chen Yijian was overjoyed and immediately bowed down: "Thank you, teacher!"

In fact, he had always wanted to call Wang Chen "Master".

However, Wang Chen didn't agree, and treated all students equally in this regard.

Wang Chen stretched out his hand to hold him: "Don't be so polite all the time, it's getting dark, 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, picked up a book and flipped through a few pages, and suddenly something struck him.

Wang Chen was slightly startled, then he put down the book, stood up and walked to the window sill.

Pushing open the door and window, he looked up at the night sky, and saw a bright moon rising in the sky.

People today cannot see the moon of the past, but the moon of today once shone on the ancients. The ancients and people today are like flowing water, and they all look at the bright moon like this!

The cold moonlight fell on Wang Chen's body, as if it had covered him with a layer of silver frost.

Countless memories sealed in the deepest part of his soul suddenly emerged in Wang Chen's mind.

He stood there for a long time, and was actually a little dazed.
