Chapter 45 Unique Skill
The Tianma River stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are hundreds of fishermen who make a living by fishing.

Making a living on the water is not an easy thing. Storms, reefs, water beasts, pirates, and even monsters lurking in the river are always threatening their safety.

An old fisherman like Sun Bo, who has been fishing for forty years and is still able to paddle and cast nets, is undoubtedly a rare sight!
He has a wealth of experience.

You have to know that fishing is a technical job. Rowing, exploring the water for clues, casting nets and fishing all require experience.

Under normal circumstances, an old fisherman would never teach outsiders the valuable experience he has accumulated over his lifetime.

The principle of teaching a disciple to starve himself to death is applicable in all realms!

But no one knows what means Chen Zhize used to make Sun Bo willingly teach Zhang Yuan everything.

Nothing to hide.

At the beginning, Sun Bo taught him the skills of rowing.

Because the new fishing boat that Chen Zhize half-sold and half-gave to Zhang Yuan was a black-sailed rowing boat.

Oars are not limited by wind speed or water depth and are the most efficient human-powered means of navigation.

The oar is placed at the stern of the ship. It is inlaid with square pieces of wear-resistant hardwood - the oar pad. A semicircular hole is carved in the middle and put on the button fixed at the stern.

The flat end of the oar extends into the water, and the handle end is tied to the side of the boat with a hemp rope.

The person who needs to row the boat holds the oar and pushes forward and pulls back with force.

The oars are stretched out in the water and swung to push the boat forward!

This sounds simple and doesn't look complicated, but actually doing it is a completely different matter.

It took Zhang Yuan three days to master the skill of rowing.

As a result, Sun Bo was amazed by her beauty!

Because it took him nearly two months to master this technique.

But Zhang Yuan actually only has very limited practice time every day.

In the following days, Zhang Yuan came to the dock early every morning to meet the old fisherman, boarded the boat and rowed down to the river to learn how to fish.

He usually got off the boat at the river bend in front of the Whale Castle, and then went to the wooden man room in the castle to practice the Shocking Waves Palm.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yuan returned to the river bend to practice his swimming skills.

At the same time, look for the extraordinary life form encountered last time.

When he returned home at night, he still needed to continue practicing the Rock Posture Exercise and soak in a medicinal bath to strengthen his skin and flesh.

Improve your qi, blood and strength little by little.

Life is extremely fulfilling.

Autumn has arrived in a flash.

That morning, just after daybreak, Zhang Yuan rowed his fishing boat into the calm river bay.

He handed the oars to Sun Bolai, went to the bow and grabbed the fishing net on the deck.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly turned around, raised his arm, and threw out the fishing net in his hand.

The fishing net unfolded in the air in an instant and fell onto the water.

Then it sank rapidly!
The whole process was done in one go and to an extremely high standard.

After a while, feeling that the fishing net had sunk to the bottom, Zhang Yuan slowly reeled in the big net.

Soon water splashed and you could faintly see silver scales moving under the net, flapping their wings with considerable force.

The big fish is caught!
Sure enough, when Zhang Yuan pulled up the entire net, he caught a big carp, two mandarin fish and a dozen miscellaneous fish.

It can be said that the harvest is fruitful!

Especially large carp are the most valuable.

The carp from Tianma River is famous far and wide. Its meat is delicious without any muddy smell and it also has nourishing effects.

This carp weighing six or seven pounds can be sold for at least one or two taels of silver in a restaurant in the city.

Zhang Yuan happily loaded the big fish into the live water tank.

"Brother Zhang..."

At this time, Sun Bo suddenly said, "You are now ready to become a master. I have taught you everything I can. Your fishing skills are now as good as those of others three or four years later!"

The old fisherman felt very upset. He had a son and had long thought of passing on his fishing skills to his son.

As a result, Sun Bo's son was born on the water, but he did not learn any skills as a fisherman.

Rowing the boat into the shore, casting the net and losing the rope, how stupid!

On the other hand, Zhang Yuan learned most of his skills in less than a month.

Comparing yourself to others can really make you angry!
If Zhang Yuan was his son, Sun Bo would really wake up laughing in his dreams.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your good teaching!"

A capable person is a good teacher. Zhang Yuan has great respect for this old fisherman.

Of the fish he caught during practice every day, he would only keep one or two to take home to eat.

The rest were all given to Sun Bo as compensation.

Sun Bo waved his hand, sighed, and sat down at the stern of the boat.

Looking depressed.

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, he put down the fishing net and asked: "Uncle Sun, did you encounter any problems?"

Sun Bo hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "It's not a big deal..."

It turned out that the reason he agreed to Chen Zhize was to teach Zhang Yuan all his fishing skills.

Except for Chen Zhize's identity.

The most important thing is to make a living for my son!
Sun Bo's son is already in his twenties, but he has not learned his father's skills and usually makes a living by selling fish.

Of course, the fish they sell are their own.

But Uncle Sun had been fishing for nearly forty years and had developed rheumatism, and his old body could no longer bear the strain.

I am just holding on for now, but I estimate that I will be completely unable to do it in another year or two.

And he has a large family to support.

If this source of income is cut off, we will have to live on coarse food!

Chen Zhize promised Sun Bo that after he taught Zhang Yuan, he would arrange a job for his son at the dock.

In this way, with the help of the Angry Whale Gang, we can at least have enough food and clothing.

Now that Zhang Yuan is able to go out on his own, Uncle Sun can't help but worry about Chen Zhize and Chen Xiangzhu being busy...

After listening to this, Zhang Yuan was somewhat amused and helpless.

But he could fully understand the other party's concerns.

If Chen Zhize really wanted to go back on his word, then Uncle Sun would have no way to stop him.

This is the sadness and helplessness of the little people at the bottom of society!
Zhang Yuan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will tell Brother Chen about it. I guarantee there will be no problem!"

In fact, with Chen Zhize's character, he would not do such a tasteless thing.

But in order to reassure the old fisherman, he added a reassurance.

Uncle Sun smiled happily: "Thank you, thank you, Brother Zhang. Now I feel relieved."

He felt relieved, and his frowning brows relaxed.

The old fisherman gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Brother Zhang, I have another skill, which is to catch turtles with a flying hook. I originally wanted to take it to my coffin, but now I will teach you how to do it!"

Flying hook to catch turtle?

Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up - that sounds great!

The so-called flying hook fishing for turtles refers to the use of thin lines and fish hooks to adopt the flying fishing method to catch soft-shelled turtles in the Tianma River.

River softshell turtle is one of the aquatic treasures and its value is far higher than that of carp.

However, the wild turtles in Tianma River are very agile and difficult to catch using ordinary fishing methods.

Sun Bo’s flying hook to catch turtles was his own invention.

No other fisherman is in control except himself!

If Sun Bo had not had a good impression of Zhang Yuan and was reluctant to see this technique lost, he would not have taught it to him.

Zhang Yuan's promise earned him a unique skill!
