Chapter Fourteen Little Fang is Exhausted

Men, women, old and young cannot be generalized. Although one can travel a hundred miles in one day, feet are of different lengths and people are different in size.

I thought that everyone would be able to march to the bank of the Weishui River in six hours, but unexpectedly, it took eight hours. Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Chen had to make another plan.

"Young Master, there are still ten miles ahead of us, which is the Weishui River!"

Everyone's mouths were dry and their faces looked tired. After a day's march, the strong men could handle it, but the young and old couldn't bear it.

In desperation, Fang Chen had no choice but to say: "Mu Cheng and Mu Xin, you two lead everyone to light a fire here, and leave ten people to guard the post to prevent wild beasts from attacking!"

Mu Cheng and Mu Xin stepped forward to respond.

"Su Lie, you and Liu Zi bring thirty men with you and come with me!"

Su Lie and Zhang Liuzi hurriedly called for people. At the same time, Fang Chen asked Han Bing to lead the remaining people who still had strength to break some branches.

"Young Master, what are we going to do?"

"Fishing!"

Fang Chen didn't expect that people in ancient times had such good physiques. After walking for a day, he felt a little embarrassed. If it weren't for his strong willpower, he might have fallen asleep long ago.

He had never thought that it would be good for these more than 800 refugees to have food to eat. Last night, everyone ate some meat and filled nearly half of their stomachs. Naturally, they would have the strength to continue moving forward.

"Young Master, you're ready!" After Zhizi was ready according to Fang Chen's request, Han Bing hurried forward to report.

Fang Chen nodded and turned to look at the remaining refugees, "You guys just wait here, I'll take people to the river to bring back some fish for everyone!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately moved. The first thing that the young master thought of at this moment was to fish for everyone!

"Little Master, we are not tired!"

"Little Master, let's go with you!"

"Yes! Young Master, let's go too!"

The crowd surged, and everyone stood up again, glowing with new strength.

I thought that everyone must be exhausted at this moment, but I didn't expect that they still had some energy left.

Fang Chen's own legs are a little weak now. He is too young and after walking for a day, it is inevitable that he will be a little weak.

Su Lie hurriedly said: "Young Master, let everyone go together. This round trip is twenty miles. By the time you come back, it will probably be very late."

After much hesitation, Fang Chen had no choice but to nod in agreement.

We set sail again, but with much more energy than during the day. The young master said that when we get to the Weishui River, he has a way to catch fish and share it with everyone!

After spending half an hour, we finally arrived. Fang Chen looked at the vast river in front of him, his eyes full of excitement.

Mrs. Liu was a little worried. The young master was not very old. Now he had been marching for a day without getting any water. He originally had some bacon and ended up sharing it with others, which made her very worried.

"Young Master..."

After Fang Chen gave her a comforting look, he asked everyone to rest. The adult men and women walked to both sides, broke some branches and collected them.

"Drink some." Su Lie carried a skin raft (water bag) and handed it to Fang Chen. Fang Chen raised it and drank a few sips. When he took the last sip, he turned it around in his mouth a few times and then spit it out.

"Call someone, let's eat fish tonight!"

There were quite a lot of branches collected. According to Fang Chen's request, twenty women came forward, integrated the branches and started to compile them, and finally made a large net bag. The remaining materials were all tied up with knots.

At one point, a simple rope was made.

The net bag made by Mu Zhi has a large gap, as much as half a fist. It is also made of a stiff material, which makes everyone a little worried. What will happen if this thing cannot catch fish.

Su Lie hesitated to speak many times. Looking at Fang Chen's confident eyes, he could only choose to believe it.

"Everyone listen to my order and tie the wooden rope to the edge of the net bag and tie it tightly. Ten men will come later. If I tell you to throw it, you just throw it into the river!"

It was tied to the four sides of the net bag, and then more than a dozen men lifted the huge net bag together.

"Throw!"

"One! Two! Hey!"

The net bag was thrown out for several meters and quickly sank into the river. After Fang Chen waited for a while, he asked people to start pulling it up.

"Get some good water-based ones, go down and hold the net bag, don't let the rope break!"

As soon as he finished speaking, six men jumped into the water, and under everyone's expectant eyes, the net bag was slowly pulled to the shore.

Immediately afterwards, cheers rang out.

"Ho! There's a fish! There's really a fish!"

"Quick, pull up!"

"Fish..."

Everyone was a little excited. Even Fang Chen didn't expect that it would be effective so quickly. He thought he could get at most a dozen fish from the first net, but he didn't expect that the net would go on and pull up dozens of fish.

.

Fang Chen saw this and hurried forward to check. Silver carp, grass carp, carp, and some crabs...

"God bless you!"

“The young master is truly blessed by God!”

"Young Master!"

A smile also appeared on Fang Chen's face. In this way, as long as the net is lowered a few more times, the fish will definitely be enough to eat.

There are few fish hunters in the rivers, and most of them are fishermen. This is also a specific manifestation of the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Chen felt heartbroken when he saw it. There were more than a dozen carps released. There was no way, no one else dared to eat them. Like Li Yin, carps were not allowed to be eaten in the Tang Dynasty.

As for the others, they were already so excited that they didn’t know what to say. With so many fish, it would be a miracle to be able to feed everyone with so many nets.

After the first experience, the others automatically started organizing fishing without Fang Chen's advice the second time.

Fang Chen gave Zhang Liuzi a few instructions, asking him and a few others to take care of the refugees, and then came to the fire where Liu's mother and daughter were.

"Sir, please eat something first."

Mrs. Liu looked distressed. At this moment, Fang Chen's face was full of exhaustion and his eyes were slightly swollen.

Fang Chen shook his head, lay down directly, rested his head on Mrs. Liu's thigh, and fell asleep in a moment.

Su Lie saw it not far away, walked straight over, sat down beside him, and looked at Mrs. Liu a few more times.

She thought to herself: This young woman is lucky. She met this young master who is very capable. I am afraid that life will get better and better in the future.

Mrs. Liu was a little shy at first, but later she became completely distressed. Until now, Fang Chen hasn't even had a bite of food.

That night, among the large number of refugees, there was laughter and laughter, and they could not sleep all night long.

When he woke up in the morning, Fang Chen realized how indecent his sleeping posture was last night. Liu didn't dare to move his legs all night, and even Qiaoer could only lean on the side.

After rubbing his swollen eyelids, Fang Chen looked very ugly.

"The muscles in the posterior part have been overused and are now sore and unbearable. What should I do?"

He stood up and found Su Lie sleeping not far away. It seemed that he had acted as his bodyguard last night.

Fang Chen was not too polite. He stepped forward and kicked him awake, and then took out the remaining military rations from his backpack.

A big bag of beef and potatoes, as long as it is heated up, it will be delicious after a while.
