Reclaiming Wasteland and Farming: My Haunted Fields Are Spawning Monsters Infinitely
Chapter 8 Fishermen and Farmers
"The fish are here."
The buoy in the water sank, creating ripples on the surface. With a gentle flick of his wrist, the middle-aged man pulled up a small fish about the size of his palm.
The morning sun shines down, the water ripples, and the river surface sparkles.
At this moment, Li Qingshan returned, and there was only a middle-aged man on the shore; no one else was to be seen.
The middle-aged man proudly removed the small fish and tossed it into his fish basket, saying, "You've come at the right time. I just caught one. There aren't many fish in this river to begin with, so I don't want to catch them all."
"You wait here for a moment."
Li Qingshan smiled dismissively and began fiddling with his fishing rod.
The middle-aged man standing nearby widened his eyes: "You think you can catch fish with this?"
Li Qingshan's fishing gear was really rudimentary. He used locust branches as fishing rods, wild grass as fishing lines, and barbs from thorns as fishing hooks.
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly: "I have a spare set here, you can borrow it if you want."
"The fishing rod is secondary; the key is your fishing skill." Li Qingshan glanced at the other person: "You're not much to look at, but you're surprisingly kind-hearted."
Middle-aged man: "..."
Li Qingshan had already cut off half of the black meat beforehand, dividing it into strips, and wrapped them in grass leaves, resembling green worms.
At this moment, bait the hook and cast it gently into the water.
The middle-aged man glanced at it and then looked away, feeling quite disappointed.
If you happen to meet a good fishing buddy, chat about nature and exchange fishing techniques, it would be a very pleasant experience.
Unfortunately, Li Qingshan's simple fishing gear was simply not good enough to be his fishing buddy.
The gap is too big.
"It's taken the bait!"
As he was thinking this, Li Qingshan suddenly shouted and flicked his wrist, pulling a large fish ashore.
what!
The middle-aged man's eyes widened. This blackfish weighed at least three to five pounds. Compared to it, the small fish he had just caught looked like a water snake.
"It seems there are indeed big fish in this river."
Li Qingshan removed the blackfish, put it in the basket, re-baited it, and cast the hook into the water.
Luck, it must be luck.
The middle-aged man thought firmly to himself, otherwise, there was no way to explain why he had only caught one fish after sitting all morning, while Li Qingshan had barely sat down and hadn't even warmed his bottom before a big fish took the bait.
Sigh, there's nothing you can do when you encounter someone with such good luck.
The middle-aged man regained his composure and continued to focus on his float.
"They've taken the bait!"
Li Qingshan shouted excitedly and pulled up another blackfish.
This blackfish is even bigger than the previous one.
"Well……"
The middle-aged man was somewhat stunned; this couldn't be explained by luck.
Li Qingshan glanced at him with a smile, which made the middle-aged man feel a little uncomfortable. It was clear that the other party was showing off to him.
Li Qingshan hadn't expected that the bait made from black meat would be so effective.
He felt the fish in the water splashing and frantically trying to get into his arms.
In the blink of an eye, he had already caught three big fish.
The middle-aged man next to him was somewhat unable to accept that the other party had pressed him to the ground and rubbed him with such simple fishing gear.
This cannot be explained by luck.
Could it be that the other party's skill level is truly superior to mine?
Am I really a complete failure when it comes to fishing?
He has always been proud and never wanted to admit that he was inferior to others.
Even in something as simple as fishing.
"What bait did you use?" he suddenly asked.
Li Qingshan was startled. The other party suddenly asked a question with an air of unquestionable authority.
"It's just ordinary fish bait," Li Qingshan explained.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and saw that Li Qingshan was dressed plainly and had ordinary fishing gear, so there was no reason why the bait in his hand was unusual.
Is it really a matter of skill level?
He quickly composed himself and said, "Brother, how do you catch such a big fish? Can you teach me?"
Li Qingshan knew in his heart that this was due to the effect of the black meat, and had little to do with his own skill level.
But now that the other party has asked, he certainly won't let go of this opportunity to show off.
"Fishing is not a simple matter. You need to know how to swim and understand the nature of fish. For example, snakehead fish like to live in shallow waters with abundant aquatic plants, so you can't let your hook sink too deep."
The middle-aged man, upon hearing this, felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. He was an avid fisherman but had never considered these issues before.
Li Qingshan rattled off all the fishing tips he'd heard in his previous life, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, leaving the middle-aged man in front of him completely bewildered.
Finally, when he looked at Li Qingshan, he almost worshipped him.
This young man knows a lot.
Li Qingshan put on a great show, successfully reaping a wave of emotional value.
"Uncle, may I ask your name?"
"We've met by chance, so just call me Old Wang," the middle-aged man said. "Young man, what's your name?"
"My name is Li Qingshan, the Li Qingshan whose name means 'the green hills remain unchanged and the green waters flow forever'."
"What a wonderful saying, 'The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever.' Only then did Old Wang realize that, aside from his tattered clothes, he was actually a very handsome young man."
The youthful spirit in the eyes of young people is truly enviable.
"The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever," Li Qingshan said. "Then we'll see you back."
"What, are you leaving?" Old Wang felt that he hadn't finished talking with Li Qingshan yet.
"I still have to go back to farming." Having caught four or five big fish, Li Qingshan felt that was enough. The weather was hot, and the fish couldn't be kept for long anyway.
Not long after Li Qingshan left, a man in a blue robe emerged from the reeds and said respectfully, "General, should we take him into the army?"
The man shook his head: "Never mind, he doesn't know my identity, which reduces a lot of pressure. I haven't been this relaxed in a long time."
Before long, another man in a blue robe appeared and said, "I secretly followed him and saw that he is indeed a land reclamation farmer with several acres of wasteland on the hillside."
The man nodded, continuing to fiddle with the fishing gear in his hands, digesting the new knowledge Li Qingshan had imparted to him.
But after pondering for a while, he still couldn't grasp the key point. Why was he still unable to catch a big fish despite following Li Qingshan's instructions?
If I had known, I should have bought a big fish from him, so that I wouldn't have been laughed at by my staff in the army when I got back.
……
Inside the dilapidated house, Li Qingshan stewed a pot of fish soup, sprinkled in a little salt, and added a handful of fresh wild vegetables, making it taste quite unique.
He ate very carefully, and it was in this kind of environment that he became more aware of the preciousness of food and that no nutrients should be wasted.
As he ate, he kept staring at the fierce field in front of him, pondering something.
How to minimize the danger of killing monsters.
Based on previous experience, the monsters spawn in fixed locations.
Li Qingshan's plan was to set a trap based on this, so that once the monster spawned, it would fall directly into the trap.
A complete service for killing enemies, dropping loot, and picking it up.
