Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Seeing that Shen Yan was so afraid of him, Song Shiwei felt relieved.

It's good to be afraid, because being afraid will prevent you from doing stupid things.

If you have reverence in your heart, you can avoid a lot of trouble.

Song Shiwei placed the wooden baskets on the shore one by one, then carried the bamboo baskets to the shore near Zhangwu. As for Xie An's basket, other villagers who were responsible for picking fish on the shore had taken over.

With too many people in the river, the fish were frightened and became harder to catch. But there were still some gains, it just took a little longer.

Thinking of the spring water in the space, since drinking it can strengthen people's bodies and improve immunity, the same should be true for animals and plants, and animals have more acute senses than humans.

Thinking of this, Song Shiwei immediately approached the underground river and put his hand into the river water. As his mind was moved, spring water emerged from Song Shiwei's palm and merged with the river water.

Within a minute, Liu Daming's scream was heard.

"Big sea, please come to me quickly. I have so many fish here that I can't catch them all."

Huang Hai quickly approached Liu Daming after hearing that. After the turbidity caused by walking faded away, he saw that Liu Daming was surrounded by fish, some of which were quite big. His eyes immediately lit up and he started to work without saying a word.

After hearing this, the others also came to Liu Daming's side to prevent the fish from escaping.

When Liu Daming shouted, Song Shiwei withdrew his hand.

Too much is as bad as too little. If more fish swim over, the scene would be so bad that Song Shiwei's scalp tingled just thinking about it.

Fish fell to the shore one after another, and each fish weighed at least two kilograms. Song Shiwei picked up the fish on the ground with incredible speed and put them into several people's baskets.

"Wow, Brother Zhang, if you don't catch it, it's fine, but when you do, it's amazing."

When the others heard Huang Hai's words, they took the time to look at Zhang Wu and were stunned.

Zhang Wu held a big fish in his arms and looked at Song Shiwei on the shore excitedly, his eyes shining.

Song Shiwei raised the corner of his mouth: "Amazing."

This fish was more than the five others had caught, plus the three fish he had caught before. Zhang Wu carried the fish directly to shore with the help of Song Shiwei, then carefully put the fish into the basket and wiped the river water off his face: "Master, is this enough?"

"That's enough. I can't finish it."

Zhang Wu nodded immediately and planned to stand on the shore to help pick up the fish.

The people who followed behind to catch fish didn't see any fish for a while. They saw Liu Daming throwing a fish onto the shore from time to time. While they were envious, they did not forget to discuss with Liu Daming and others: "Brother Daming, we don't have any fish here. I think the fish have all gone to your place. How about we come over and catch them with you?"

Liu Daming said without even looking up: "Come on, come on, hurry up, we have too many fish here, come on and relieve the pressure on us, so that we don't get too anxious when we see that we can't catch any fish."

These words were a bit provocative. If it had been any other time, everyone would have pinned Liu Daming down. They had something important to do at this moment. Seeing that Liu Daming and the others didn't mind, the villagers, officials, Xie An, and Shen Yan who came later all slowly walked over.

Liu Daming, Huang Hai and others' baskets were almost full, so Zhang Wu called a few of them up.

"Let them catch the fish slowly here. There are so many fish that we can't catch them all. Let's go back and get the knives. Let's talk to the village chief and see if he can wait until we finish processing the fish before we continue our journey."

Liu Daming and his companions had no objection to Zhang Wu's words. They first thanked Song Shiwei, and then excitedly went into the cave.

When Huang Changyuan heard that several people had caught a lot of fish in the underground river and that there were still many fish in the river, he made the decision without waiting for them to discuss the departure time: "Stay one more day to process the fish before continuing. Those who still want to catch fish should not be in a hurry. The underground river is running water and there must be a lot of fish. Don't rush into the water, otherwise the fish will be scared away."

Everyone responded with smiles on their faces.

When the women learned that a lot of fish had been caught, they clapped their legs with joy and said that the family had now made some income and they no longer had to sit around and eat nothing. They also praised Liu Daming and the others again and again.

With Huang Changyuan's suggestion of resting for another day, Liu Daming and others were overjoyed. They then took kitchen knives from home and went to the underground river to process the caught fish. After cleaning them, they took them home and asked the elders at home to keep a few fish for cooking today, and pickled the rest.

Fortunately, a lot of salt was bought in the provincial capital before. It was Zhang Wu's overt and covert reminders, and the silver notes taken out by Huang Changyuan that made the village dare to buy so many things.

For the people of Dahe Village now, they have food in their hands and are not worried. Except for being tired every time they travel, their lives are much better than those disaster victims outside.

While several people were processing the fish, Song Shiwei took out the tent and set it up.

Huang Ping had just come back from outside, dragging a bundle of firewood to find Song Shiwei.

"Brother Song, we still have to stay here for another day. I think you don't have much firewood. I just picked up a lot of firewood outside and brought some to you. If it's not enough, tell me."

Song Shiwei quickly took the firewood: "Thank you."

"You don't have to be so polite to each other. I still have to deliver firewood to another family. I'll leave first."

After watching Huang Ping leave, Song Shiwei placed the firewood next to the tent, took some fodder from the carriage to feed the horse, and poured a large basin of water next to the horse.

Fortunately, everyone is hardworking and goes out to take care of physiological problems in the morning and evening. Otherwise, with so many livestock in the cave, the smell of feces and urine alone would be unbearable every day.

Halfway through, Zhang Wu brought the fish back to be pickled, gave it to Song Shiwei to put away, and then hurried to the underground river to continue catching fish.

Song Shiwei thought the biggest fish that Zhang Wu had caught was rare, so he put it directly into the space for storage. It was too crowded to put all the fish on the carriage. Anyway, no one could see the things in the carriage. As long as they could have these things when they returned, it would be fine.

Just as Song Shiwei was about to enter the tent, a man from the village came over. He looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, holding two processed fish in his hands.

Meeting Song Shiwei's puzzled look, the man smiled shyly, and while passing the fish to Song Shiwei, he scratched his head and said, "Mr. Song, I just caught some fish in the river. I'll give you two of them. They've been cleaned."

Song Shiwei didn't answer, but asked: "Who are you?"

The man smiled with a simple and honest face: "My name is Li Gui, and everyone in the village calls me Dagui. Last time, I went out hunting with everyone and encountered a blind bear. An official and I were seriously injured. Doctor Xu told me that if it weren't for the golden wound medicine and strong liquor you sent, I would have died here. I can't repay you for saving my life, so I can only do my best. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know."

Song Shiwei suddenly realized, and obviously remembered who he was. Feeling the other party's embarrassment, he took the fish with a smile: "Thank you very much, Brother Dagui. I will definitely trouble you in the future."

"Mr. Song, please don't be polite to me. I'll go back first."

Song Shi nodded slightly: "Slow down."

Looking at the two fresh fish in his hand, Song Shiwei suddenly had the idea of ​​grilling the fish, so he lit a fire, skewered the fish and grilled them next to the fire.
