My life of martial arts training

Outside was an alley full of garbage, with moss growing in the corners. The originally green floor tiles had already turned black, and you could still feel the greasy touch when you stepped on them.

‘Squeak. ’

The door not far to Shen Yuan’s left suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man, carrying a basket on his back, greeted Shen Yuan; “Xiao Yuan, are you up?”

“Uncle Lu, good morning.” Shen Yuan replied.

“I thought you couldn’t get up, and was just about to call you.”

“Thank you, Uncle Lu.” Shen Yuan smiled, because the other party was worried that the death of old man Shen had hit him.

The middle-aged man was Lu Jingfu, a neighbor of old man Shen. Lu Jingfu’s father came to help dig the coffin pit yesterday.

In this extremely difficult era, people spent most of their time working, and even for important things like funerals, at most only one person could be sent to help.

"Xiao Yuan, try not to go to 'Bran Street' if you have nothing to do. It is said that many people died in the past two days." Lu Jingfu said in a low voice.

Shen Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he said solemnly; "I know."

Bran Street belongs to the East District of Qinghu City's Outer City. Shen Yuan lives in the South District. Bran Street is just a few streets away from his home.

"Dad, make way." A young man of similar age to Shen Yuan, but with a strong body, walked out from Lu Jingfu. Seeing Shen Yuan, he waved his hand and showed an honest smile;

"Brother Yuan, good morning."

"Xiao Hu, good morning." Shen Yuan replied.

"Since everyone is here, let's go." Lu Jingfu said.

Several people walked along the alley and walked out of the city.

Lu Jingfu took the lead and walked in front, Shen Yuan and Lu Xiaohu followed behind, and other fishermen passed by them from time to time.

Because of environmental factors, fishermen have to wait for the temperature to warm up after the Mao hour before going to the fishing place.

"Brother Yuan, are you all right?" Lu Xiaohu asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, the Green Snake Gang should have arrangements." Shen Yuan shook his head.

In Qinghu City, the fishing industry is almost divided up by gangs and aristocratic families.

Only with the permission of the other party can you go fishing in the river.

The river that Shen Yuan is going to is controlled by the 'Green Snake Gang', and every time the fish is salvaged.

The 'Green Snake Gang' will take 50% first, calling it protection fee.

After that, it is personal income. You can choose to sell the remaining 50% to the 'Green Snake Gang', or you can take it to the market to sell it yourself, depending on the harvest of the fish.

Twenty miles away from Qinghu City, there is a Tianqing Lake, which is about three times larger than the 'Poyang Lake' in Shen Yuan's previous life. It produces a kind of blue fish with delicious meat, which is one of the specialties of Qinghu City.

The three of them quickly left the city, walked along the road for an incense stick, and came to the river controlled by the 'Green Snake Gang'.

"Xiao Yuan, we'll go first." Lu Jingfu waved his hand.

"Okay, Uncle Lu." Watching the two leave, Shen Yuan also went to his team.

Looking at the fishermen who passed by him from time to time, Shen Yuan thought to himself; "I hope I can arrange a smarter teammate."

Fishing in this era is not an easy thing. At least three people are needed to salvage the catch.

Originally, he was in a group with Old Man Shen, and there was another man. Now that Old Man Shen has passed away, the 'Green Snake Gang' will arrange a person to fill this gap.

After Shen Yuan walked a section of the muddy road, a shed built of wood appeared in front of him.

Three big men sat in the shed, pointing at several fishermen and cursing.

Shen Yuan walked up and said hello: "Brother Chen."

"Oh, it's Xiao Yuan." One of the big men saw Shen Yuan and squeezed out a smile; "Is Old Man Shen's funeral done?"

"It's done." Shen Yuan nodded.

"Come with me." The big man waved and walked behind the shed.

Shen Yuan followed him without hesitation.

When they arrived at the back of the shed, the big man took out a package from his arms and carefully opened it. Inside was a roll of paper;

"This is what Young Master Wang wants. Remember to write faster. He wants it tomorrow."

Shen Yuan took the test paper, looked at it for a few times, and looked embarrassed; "Brother Chen, this is a bit difficult."

"You kid, you really don't want to see the rabbit before you release the eagle."

The big man laughed and scolded, and took out half a piece of silver from his crotch: "This is yours."

This is Shen Yuan's side job.

The language of this world is completely different from that of the previous life. If Shen Yuan hadn't absorbed part of the memory of the 'original body', he wouldn't even be able to communicate.

Of course, it is limited to the language memory. The rest of the memory of the 'original body' is completely unclear.

After following Old Man Shen for a month, Shen Yuan began to try to learn the characters of this world. Under the pressure of life, his learning ability can be said to be by leaps and bounds. It took him two and a half months to learn the characters here.

By chance, he met the son of a hall master of the Green Snake Gang, who came here to play, and Shen Yuan accidentally heard that he was dissatisfied with his homework.

So Shen Yuan recommended himself and reached a deal with the other party to write homework for him.

Chen Daniu in front of him was the middleman. Every time the homework was written, it was brought by him.

Of course, dividends are also indispensable, but this is also good for Shen Yuan. After a few times, the two of them have a little friendship.

"Brother Chen, my team..." Shen Yuan put away the silver and asked.

"Xiao Yuan, are you still worried about your brother's work? This time I found you an old hand, called Cen Junzhi." Chen Daniu patted his strong chest and said confidently.

"That's good." Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although poor people generally don't slack off, there are inevitably one or two of them.

"Brother Chen, I'll go first."

"Okay, remember to come and get your homework when you leave."

"Yes."

Shen Yuan left the shed and walked towards his position.

"Shen Yuan, here you are." A young man was standing under a big tree. When he saw Shen Yuan coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

Due to the relationship between Shen Yuan and Chen Daniu, he always handed in the catch of their group.

This also improved Shen Yuan's status in this team a lot.

"Well, Lao Kang, is the other person not here yet?"

"It seems that he hasn't arrived yet. I'm the only one here. Have you asked who will join Chen Lao Da?" Sun Lekang asked in a low voice.

"I asked him, he said he was an old hand, he must have delayed some things, let's wait." Shen Yuan frowned slightly.

"Yeah." Sun Lekang's face flashed a trace of worry.

Shen Yuan came to the river, which was about four feet wide. The river water was turquoise and was flowing slowly, like a cyan ribbon appearing on the ground.

There were abundant fish in it, and black fish could be seen jumping from the river from time to time.

This seemingly wide river was just a tributary of the 'Tianqing Lake'. There were at least a dozen tributaries like this, divided by the various forces of 'Qinghu City'.

The breeze from the river bank gently brushed Shen Yuan's shoulder-length hair. Shen Yuan lowered his head and could see his current appearance through the river.

His face was thin, his complexion was slightly pale, his lips were thin and tightly closed, and the whole person seemed malnourished, but his eyes revealed a light of thinking.

He looked at his appearance in the lake, a little absent-minded.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, a fat man ran towards Shen Yuan and others.

"Excuse me, is this the 13th team?" The fat man panted.

"Are you Cen Junzhi?" Shen Yuan asked.

"Yes, I couldn't find the way before, sorry." Cen Junzhi nodded and apologized quickly.

"Since you are here, let's start." Shen Yuan said.

The three of them first spread some bait, and then waited quietly on the shore.

After a while.

A group of black carps were attracted by the bait. The three saw that the time had come and picked up the fishing net.

Shen Yuan entered the river carefully. In order not to scare away the black carps, he swam very slowly.

Seeing that Shen Yuan had swam to the center of the river, Sun Lekang and Cen Junzhi followed and jumped down.

Although Shen Yuan was the first to jump down, he was the easiest. He only needed to float on the river and grab the fishing net to ensure that he would not be washed away by the water.

The other two moved closer to Shen Yuan along the river.

The three of them worked until lunchtime, ate some dry food under a tree, rested for a while, and then continued to work.

Shen Yuan and Sun Lekang observed that although Cen Junzhi was a little fat, he was still very efficient at work, and the two gradually put their minds at ease.

······

Shen Yuan and the other two put away their tools and began to count today's harvest.

"Today's harvest is not bad, there are about 30 black carps, and some river shrimps and crabs." Looking at the lively black carps in the fish basket, the three of them smiled.
