Chapter 504: Initial Demonstration of Power
Looking at my wet body.
Look at Xu Wenyan’s neat clothes again.
Looking at the fish in his hand, which was a circle smaller than Xu Wenyan's, Nurban fell silent.
At this point he couldn't help but doubt himself.
Since he was over ten years old, he followed his father to fish and herd sheep.
He is now the best fisherman in the village, but today Xu Wenyan caught the fish with just a stick, which was a complete blow to him.
Xu Wenyan was the first to break the awkwardness. He raised the fish in his hand to show Nurban.
After a brief silence, Nurban kept asking Xu Wenyan how he did it.
However, due to the language barrier, Nurban was so anxious that he wanted to learn the language of Central Plains right away.
Nurban didn't understand what was being said, so he started to gesture to Xu Wenyan. Xu Wenyan didn't understand, so he followed suit.
While the two were demonstrating, Chen Sanlin also caught a fish.
At this time, Nurban was still unconvinced. He didn't think that this rod could compare with his more than ten years of fishing experience.
Xu Wenyan saw him leave inexplicably without thinking much and continued fishing with Chen Sanlin.
What Xu Wenyan didn't expect was that there were so many fish here. Almost every half a minute a fish would take the bait, and the fish here were really big.
There is also a disadvantage to having a big fish, which is that the fishing rod may not be able to bear the weight.
After all, Xu Wenyan was not a professional fisherman. He was not proficient in the technique of reeling in fish, and the rod was not strong enough. He died heroically when catching the third fish.
It was all thanks to Xu Wenyan who pulled the fishing line to pull the fish up.
Chen Sanlin's situation was even worse, as he failed when he got to the second fishing rod.
But it’s just changing the rod, it doesn’t delay things too much.
Xu Wenyan's brilliant performance quickly attracted a lot of people.
The men in the village wrapped up their clothes and stood by to watch Xu Wenyan fishing. It felt magical.
Human beings are always curious about new things.
After that, Xu Wenyan caught a few more fish and called Nurban over. How should I put it? Xu Wenyan just felt that he and Nurban had a good connection.
So in the following time, Xu Wenyan showed them the shape of the fishhook, mainly the barb inside the fishhook, which prevents the fish from escaping from the rod easily.
The next step was to dig earthworms out of the soil, hang them on fish hooks, and demonstrate the entire fishing process to the villagers.
"Boom-"
Suddenly, Nurban and his people knelt down before Xu Wenyan.
Xu Wenyan was at a loss and wanted to help them up, but Nurban was tough.
After all, this is a way of hunting. As long as they master this method, they can store a lot of fish, and life in the village will become better because of the appearance of fish hooks.
In Nurban's view, Xu Wenyan has already treated them as real friends. After all, hunting skills are quite valuable.
In the following time, Xu Wenyan taught Nurban how to use the fishing rod. Since he had accepted the gift, he still had to teach him.
Fortunately, Nurban learned the skill quickly and, with Xu Wenyan's guidance, he successfully pulled up a fish.
The joy of the harvest was reflected on the face of every member of the tribe.
The water of Xinghua Lake is cold all year round because most of the water comes from melted snow.
The center of the lake is very deep and is surrounded by mountains, which causes the temperature of the lake water to never drop.
It may feel hot in the summer, but that is only the surface layer. When you go deep into the water, it is still icy cold to the bone.
This time we returned to the village just before sunset after fishing.
The fish they brought back was quite abundant, and Nurban invited Xu Wenyan to have dinner together.
It was much more convenient to have a translator when we returned to the village. With the help of the translator, Nurban expressed many words of thanks to Xu Wenyan.
Xu Wenyan did not refuse and had dinner at Nurban's house in the evening.
He was about to go back, as there were enough apricots here for Xu Wenyan to take back.
It filled more than a dozen carriages.
After saying goodbye to Nurban, Xu Wenyan set off with more than 20 people.
The rest of the people stayed in Yili Village and continued to dry the apricots.
Yili Village is a very beautiful place. Xu Wenyan asked Nurban about the specific time when the apricot flowers bloom.
Looking at the winding apricot trees all over the mountain, Xu Wenyan could already imagine next year's sea of white and pink flowers.
..........
The journey back was smooth until we entered Qinghai County.
The soldier at the door also recognized Xu Wenyan and took them directly into the county.
But this time they did not see County Magistrate Ma.
At night, Xu Wenyan still took turns with Chen Sanlin to keep watch.
As expected...still nothing happened.
Back on the road, Xu Wenyan felt a little sleepy and fell asleep.
He slept until the afternoon.
Chen Sanlin organized the team to rest, lit a bonfire, and surrounded it with horse-drawn carriages.
Because he had slept too much during the day, Xu Wenyan didn't feel sleepy at all until now.
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Wenyan looked up at the night sky.
The night sky at the frontier is always a sea of stars, as if you can see every star in the sky.
So huge, so vast.
Just as Xu Wenyan was watching intently, he heard the sound of a horse neighing. Although it was just a light cry, Xu Wenyan still heard it.
He picked up the knife from the carriage, moved to the back of the carriage in the dim firelight, and then looked in the direction of the horse that made the sound.
It doesn't matter if you look at it.
About fifty or sixty people, holding knives, reached behind the carriage on the other side.
Xu Wenyan stood up, opened the side window and woke up Chen Sanlin.
"Brother Chen, something happened."
When Chen Sanlin heard Xu Wenyan's voice, he woke up almost instantly.
The two met up and observed the crowd over there.
The group of people were squatting and did not move forward. Xu Wenyan knew that they were observing.
Xu Wenyan gestured to Chen Sanlin, indicating that he should follow him.
The two of them were squatting behind the carriage and moving forward slowly.
When there were still two or three carriages away from the enemy, Xu Wenyan was also surprised.
There must be about seventy or eighty people. I was far away from them just now, so I didn't realize there was such a big difference after a rough estimate.
Xu Wenyan took out a grenade, which was the least powerful type and also a defective product that was not accurately mixed at the beginning.
Xu Wenyan always carries the middle one with him.
There are some powerful ones, but the main ones are these with small power. Precisely because of their small power, they are just right to be used here.
The horses were tied up, so they couldn't run away even if they were frightened.
"Brother Chen, come here."
Xu Wenyan was still unsure, so he decided to let professionals handle the distance.
If it was thrown in, the carriage would be in trouble.
Chen Sanlin took the grenade, pulled the safety button, and threw it towards the crowd without hesitation.
Of course, the crowd over there saw clearly that something had fallen to their feet.
Just as he was looking at it with a confused look on his face.
"boom----"
A loud noise was heard in the dark Gobi Desert.
The explosion of the grenade brought up a wisp of smoke and blood.
Countless fragments can be seen exploding.
In an instant, the screams of the enemy, the roars of the horses, and the confusion of the servants in the Jiang Mansion were mixed up.
“Ghost! Ahhhh…”
The attacking enemies were scared off by the explosions throughout the day. Just one grenade instantly killed more than a dozen people and injured dozens.
This is still a defective product.
Chen Sanlin captured two slightly injured people alive and broke their thighs by kicking them.
Xu Wenyan had heard too many wailings and even felt a little numb.
If it weren't for this grenade tonight, there would be a fierce battle, and Xu Wenyan would most likely take Chen Sanlin and escape first.
Therefore, there is no need to show mercy to those who want to take your life.
