Climbing the rivers and lakes starts with fishing

Diao Weng Village, as the name suggests, at least one old man with excellent fishing skills once appeared here.Combined with martial arts routines, the probability that the old man is still alive is as high as 99%, and the opponent can at least barely be considered a martial arts master.

Go to the villagers to find out where the fisherman is?No, there is no need to take such a risk. If this is common sense in the village, doing so will easily arouse the suspicion of the villagers.

After several times of line-up with the system before, Ye Xu has thoroughly understood the basic logic of this game, that is - treat this place as the real world and forget about all game settings.Of course, there are traces of the plot routine of the novel here, but at most it can only be used as a reference for players, and it is best not to believe it completely.

Now, Ye Xu is a native of Diao Weng Village, so he must not show any signs of a "time traveler".Anyway, Diao Weng will probably be fishing by the water, so it’s a big deal to spend more time to visit the nearby waters, and you can always find someone.

After all, this is still the early stage of the game, no matter how tricky the planning is, it will not leave no way for the players to survive.Ye Xu reckoned that it would not be difficult to find the fisherman, and he could only be sure to find it today at the latest.

With such thoughts in mind, Ye Xu left the village.To be on the safe side, he also deliberately brought out the bamboo tube cup from home, filled some water from the well mouth in the center of the village, and brought it with him.

You must know that after just a little bit of rummaging at home, his satiety decreased a little, and he felt a little parched when chatting with the aunt who was in the opposite door.

Although the system didn't remind him that he needed to drink water to quench his thirst immediately, Ye Xu understood after replacing the game world with the real world.It is best to drink water in time when you are thirsty, and eat in time when you are hungry.The ghost knows if there is a chronic disease setting in the game, he doesn't want to have stomach problems and kidney stones.

Martial arts internal force is not the aura of the cultivation world, it can't nourish the body, and it can't cure the diseases that ordinary people will suffer from!

Along the way, Ye Xu drank water and picked wild fruits to satisfy his hunger while walking down the river.There are not many wild fruits in the forest this season, but there are some. To be on the safe side, Ye Xu only picks up the ones he knows to eat, but the taste is hard to describe, and it is barely enough to fill his stomach.

Ye Xu misses the last game a bit. At that time, even Novice Village had cheap and delicious food stalls.Unlike here, there are only normal houses in the whole village, and no one has opened a shop at all.Moreover, there was no surplus food in his family, so he suspected that the original owner also ate fruit to satisfy his hunger some time ago.

After walking downstream for less than ten minutes, he saw a wide river area with gentle current.Ye Xu himself doesn't know much about fishing, and he doesn't know if this place is suitable for fishing, but he guesses that there must be more fish here than in the rushing area before.

Drinking water flows down, even if the fish will go upstream, most of them will still be washed downstream, right?Moreover, where the water flow is gentle, there is also a lot of food, and the fish schools can swim against the current by themselves, which does not mean that they can swim up the small fish and shrimps they usually eat.Considering this aspect, Ye Xu chose to go down the river.

Sure enough, he found a gentle water area, and what was even more surprising was that there was a small boat in the middle of the river, and there was a figure wearing a bamboo hat on the boat, as if he was fishing.Ye Xu walked in and took a closer look, and made sure that he read it right, the person above him was Diao Weng.

But how will he get there?

Ye Xu's first reaction was to swim, but he is not very good at swimming.With such a wide river, he really didn't dare to enter the water, for fear that he would drown halfway.

Since you can't swim, how about making bamboo rafts yourself?It was too strenuous, and before he was done, he might have already finished work and went home.

After thinking about it, he found that it was more feasible to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit, so he waited on the shore, and blocked the old man when he landed and planned to go home.As long as this person doesn't row the boat all the way back to the village entrance, or doesn't live in the village at all and directly lives on the boat, he should be able to block people in time.

However, sitting on the sidelines is a bit time-consuming.

Originally, Ye Xu thought that if he found Diao Weng so easily, even if the other party gave martial arts cheats, it probably wasn't something rare.But now that he found someone, it didn't mean he could talk to them, so he looked forward to it again. It was still difficult to obtain cheats.

Ye Xu looked at the boat in the middle of the river expectantly, and he didn't know if his eyes were too hot or what, but the person at the other end seemed to have spotted him, and turned his head to look over.Seeing Ye Xu sitting by the river drinking water and eating fruit, his eyes brightened.

Of course, Ye Xu didn't see the detail of the other party's "eyes brightening" because he was too far away.He was a little surprised when he saw that the old man immediately packed up his things, finished fishing, and started rowing to the shore after he found him.

It was still early before work was over and home. The other party was definitely not about to leave at that time, but actually saw him appear and deliberately came to look for him.I just don't know why the other party took the initiative to approach him. If I had known that the old man was so enthusiastic, he should have called someone directly instead of just sitting there.

Seeing the boat getting closer and closer, Ye Xu thought it would be impolite for him to sit still and wait, so he ate the fruit in two or three bites, washed his hands and stood up to greet him.Not long after, the pair landed smoothly, flung the rope around a branch of a tree on the bank, and in the blink of an eye completed a series of movements of pulling the rope to land and leaping to Ye Xu's side.

"You..." Ye Xu was a little stunned. This old man with a gray beard looks like he is in his 70s or [-]s. Why can't he see any signs of osteoporosis?

Before Ye Xu could come up with a polite word, the old man stretched out his hand first and grabbed Ye Xu's arm. His eyes were burning and he was full of anger: "Little Lu! How did you come to see my old man today? Did you change your mind and want to be the old man?" Am I an apprentice? Damn, I have already said that you are suitable for fishing at first glance, it would be a pity not to eat this bowl of rice!"

Ye Xu: "..."

Dare love this person and the original owner still have a story in the past, but the original owner seems to have rejected the martial arts master's invitation to accept apprentices.

Ye Xu immediately became vigilant, he felt that since the original owner refused, there must be something wrong here.Either the original owner's own vision is not good, and the hero who only looks at the outside does not know that there is an expert in his village, or this expert is a scam, and there is no future for him.

Combined with the fact that the master sent him to be a master with such enthusiasm, Ye Xu felt that the latter was more likely.After all, what kind of martial arts talent is he himself, can he still not know?The root bone is a fixed average of "5" for the general public. It is estimated that it belongs to the level that small sects are willing to accept as disciples, and large sects can barely accept as handymen.

After thinking about this, he quickly pulled his arm out of the old man's hand, and backed away again and again: "If you have something to say, please say it, I just came to see you, don't get excited."

He was afraid that if he refused on the spot, he would be shot to death in a fit of anger, so he planned to put it mildly.

The old man on the opposite side didn't feel disgusted at all, and he cheerfully took out a quaint book written "Fishing Heart Sutra" from his arms, which was the kind that looked old and was about to break.The old man tried to put the Heart Sutra into Ye Xu's hands: "Come on, come on, learn to fish with me, it's better than you go outside to worship the sect!"

At the same time, the system finally sounded a normal game notification sound: [The Fisherman tried to accept you as his personal disciple, would you like to accept and transfer to the [Rare Level] professional "Fisherman"? 】

Although this [rare level] sounds quite rare, like a rare opportunity, Ye Xu still resisted its temptation and insisted on his previous judgment.

There is a high probability that it is not a good thing to be delivered to the door, and one cannot be greedy.Especially this old man, he looks like he is afraid that no one will inherit his unique skills, which makes him feel more and more that it is a pheasant martial arts.

"I'm sorry." Ye Xu took a few steps back, "Forget it. I'm not very interested in fishing. I'm here this time mainly because I plan to leave the village. I'm here to say goodbye to you. Look at me, swimming. Not too good at it, fishing is too dangerous for me, I am afraid that I will be dragged into the water by fish and drown."

This reason is somewhere between "nonsense" and "reasonable", and it is easy for people to not know how to react for a while.Ye Xu just wanted to wait for Diao Weng to be stupefied and run away quickly, but he didn't expect that the other party hadn't been tricked at all.

He laughed loudly and patted Ye Xu on the shoulder: "What's the matter! Isn't it just swimming? I'll just teach you!"

After speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his palm, grabbed Ye Xu and threw him into the water.Ye Xu only had time to say "Damn it" before his head was flooded.He didn't care about other things, so he jumped up quickly, trying to save himself with what little swimming knowledge he had.

He was a landlubber who couldn't swim a year and a half ago. He used the character's own swimming skills in the last game to experience a lot, and barely mastered a little swimming skills.Later, I also tried using it in the third dimension, and I was able to swim two laps casually in the swimming pool. Now I just change the river for him to survive, which is really embarrassing him.

You must know that no matter how calm the river is, there is still an undercurrent under the water, and there are aquatic plants and other things that are easy to hinder people.Ye Xu was afraid that his feet would be entangled at this moment, and that he was not strong enough to sink.

He got a little internal information from his friend, and he knew that the death of this game would not bring him back to the resurrection point, and he would stand dead on the spot in a state of serious injuries.He didn't enter the game with his friends. If the "corpse" drifted in the river for a few days and no one picked him up for treatment, he would have to delete his account or abandon the game.

But he felt that the old man on the shore would not just watch him drown.Even if he drowned, he should come to rescue him, otherwise, if he is gone, who will be the old man's martial arts inheritor?

Just thinking about it, the old man jumped into the water and came to Ye Xu's side... to watch.

He didn't help directly, but when Ye Xu was almost unable to float, he made a move to support him with his inner strength.When Ye Xu was able to swim again, he let go of it immediately.

Not to mention, under this "life and death test", Ye Xu's swimming skills have indeed improved by leaps and bounds.When his physical strength was almost zero and his stomach was growling with hunger, he finally swam back to the shore with his own efforts.

In fact, he could have landed earlier, but the old man pulled him back in a daze, euphemistically saying, "Your swimming level is not good enough, you can practice again."Ye Xu suspected that he deliberately stuck his physical strength to do things, otherwise why did his physical strength drop to zero just after landing?

Then, he heard the fisherman's expectant inquiry: "Now that you have learned how to swim, can you learn to fish with me?"

Ye Xu: I'll learn from you ****! (Foul words are blocked by the harmony system)
