Chapter 236 - Ancient Tool
Chapter 236 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" kicks off with action-packed scenes: Chen Yang reached out to flick her nose, âOf course itâs not for sale at... Discover more!
Chen Yang reached out to flick her nose, âOf course itâs not for sale at the convenience store, I bought this myself.
Just thereâs no fridge at home, so I stored it at the convenience store.â
âOh, I see.
I thought Liuhe Village was so wealthy, able to eat Haagen-Dazs whenever.â
Yang Ruoxi revealed an expression of realization and then happily began to enjoy her ice cream.
In the height of summer, who could resist the temptation of ice cream?
Yang Ruoxi was lying on the rocking chair that Chen Yang usually reclined in, while Chen Yang took the stool where Wang Hong usually sat to read.
The two comfortably savored their ice cream.
âBy the way, Chen Yang, what shall we do this afternoon?
I donât want to stay idle at home.â
Yang Ruoxi suddenly turned to ask Chen Yang.
Chen Yang snorted with laughter, he knew that Yang Ruoxi couldnât stay still and would ask this.
âHow about we go fishing this afternoon?â
Chen Yang replied with a smile.
âFishing?â
Yang Ruoxiâs eyes widened slightly, showing interest.
âYeah, these days weâve only been eating rabbit meat, pork, and such, got quite tired of it.
Anyway, thereâs nothing much to do this afternoon, so letâs catch some fish to improve our meals,â Chen Yang said, smiling.
Hearing that they could improve their meals, Yang Ruoxi immediately agreed.
âYeah, yeah, then letâs go fishing!â
Really such a little foodie.
Chen Yang thought to himself, then didnât make any further comment.
After finishing the ice cream, the two rested for a while in the clinic.
When the sun was less fierce, around 2:30 in the afternoon, they prepared to set out for fishing.
Chen Yang went inside to find a bucket and, shouldering the householdâs firewood knife, got ready to leave.
Yang Ruoxi was very diligent.
Seeing Chen Yang carrying the bucket, she immediately came over and took the bucket herself.
âLet me help you with that.â
âSure.â
For such an occasion, Chen Yang was naturally pleased.
After handing the bucket to Yang Ruoxi and locking up the house, they set off.
On the way, Chen Yang briefed Yang Ruoxi on what to pay attention to when catching fish later.
Their fishing destination was a stream in the village.
A stream that flowed down from the mountains through the village.
The water was crystal clear and you could see to the bottom.
There were also plenty of fish in it.
The main thing is that the stream belonged to no one, so did the fish in it.
Therefore, to go fishing, the stream was definitely the best option.
âWhen we go fishing later, just follow closely behind me and watch how I do it.â
Chen Yang said.
Yang Ruoxi nodded, âGot it.â
The two of them were quick and soon reached the village stream.
The stream flowed down from the mountains, cutting across the fields at the head of Liuhe Village.
It was now 2 p.m., exactly the time when the villagers came out to work.
Some villagers happened to be passing by Chen Yang, and when they saw him with a beauty catching fish, they couldnât help but become curious.
About Yang Ruoxiâs identity.
âYang Zi, who is this?
Your girlfriend?â
An aunt couldnât help but ask curiously.
Hearing this question, Yang Ruoxiâs cheeks instantly turned a bit red.
Chen Yang also felt a bit embarrassed.
âNo, sheâs just a friend,â
Chen Yang explained.
âA friend?
Impossible.
This aunty can tell, thereâs something special between you two,â
The aunt teased with a smile.
At this, Yang Ruoxiâs cheeks grew even redder.
A mixture of shyness and a secret thrill of joy.
âReally not, Auntie, you better get back to work.
Otherwise, the sun will be setting.â
Chen Yang said.
âAlright, Auntie will be leaving now, so I wonât disturb your fishing,â she said.
She was considerate enough to realize that Chen Yang didnât want to continue the conversation, and promptly shouldered her hoe and left.
Without lingering unnecessarily.
After Auntie departed, Chen Yang began studying the creek with Yang Ruoxi.
The creekâs water was crystal clear, but there was a lot of overgrowth on both sides.
And during the broad daylight, most of the larger fish were in hiding.
You couldnât see even a shadow of a fish.
To catch some fish to eat, youâd definitely need to observe carefullyâthat was the way to do it.
âChen Yang, do you not need any fishing tools?â
Immersed in his study, Chen Yang heard Yang Ruoxi suddenly ask this.
âOf course, I do.â
Upon hearing Yang Ruoxiâs question, Chen Yang went straight to a nearby shrubbery, picked out a sapling from among various trees, and used his pocketknife to chop it down.
He then cleaned off the branches and twigs.
And sharpened one end.
âThis is a fishing tool.â
Chen Yang raised the javelin-like stick in the air.
Yang Ruoxi, seeing Chen Yangâs actions, was momentarily at a loss for words.
âChen YangâŚ
what era are we in to still be using such ancient fishing methods?â
Sharpening a stick to stab fish, in Yang Ruoxiâs mind, was something out of a movie about ancient peoples.
She couldnât believe it was happening right before her eyes.
Chen Yang gave a smile, âUseful things never go out of fashion, just you watch, Iâll open your eyes.â
With that, he bent down to continue scrutinizing the creek.
Trying to detect any subtle signs of fish.
But after circling the nearby stream several times, he saw no trace of fish.
âHuh, thatâs strange, I remember there being plenty of fish in this creek.â
Chen Yangâs brows furrowed in confusion.
âHahaha, they must have been scared away by your ancient spear,â
Seeing Chen Yangâs puzzled expression, Yang Ruoxi couldnât help but cover her mouth and laugh.
She thought Chen Yangâs frowning look was quite interesting.
Chen Yang glanced at her but said nothing.
However, he felt quite miffed inside.
He had wanted to quickly prove the effectiveness of his spear.
But with not a single fish in sight, he had no chance to show off.
âLetâs walk up a bit and take a look, maybe there are some upstream,â
Unable to find any fish in the creek by the fields, Chen Yang set his sights on the upper section of the stream.
The creek flowed down from the mountains, and with few people venturing there, Chen Yang believed there surely had to be fish.
So, he promptly started heading upstream with Yang Ruoxi in tow.
Yang Ruoxi was unfamiliar with the area, so naturally, she just followed Chen Yang.
The two walked along the creek, constantly scanning inside it.
But after a long walk, they still didnât see any fish.
Now Chen Yang was truly baffled.
âI remember this creek being full of fish!
How come we canât see a single one now?â
Chen Yang was baffled.
Yang Ruoxi couldnât help but laugh.
âI told you, they must have been scared away by your ancient fish spear.â
Seeing the mocking smile on Yang Ruoxiâs face, Chen Yang felt rather embarrassed.
Going out to fish and not seeing a single one.
He was now in urgent need of a fish to appear to prove himself!
And just as Chen Yang was struggling to find fish, looking visibly upset, Wang Hongâs son Qiangzi happened to be passing by, leading his familyâs water buffalo.
As soon as Qiangzi saw Chen Yang by the creek, he greeted him with a smile.
âUncle Chen Yang.â
âAh, Qiangzi.â
Chen Yang replied with a smile and then squatted down again to carefully inspect the creek.
