From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 1 Dead fish’s truth
Summer, 99 years of the New Calendar.

Night has already fallen, and the thick darkness covers the earth.

By the Yuan River, Jiang Yao found a slightly smooth stone and sat on it.

He glanced around and could vaguely see the dim lights in the direction of the county town in the distance, but he didn't see anyone else on the riverside except himself.

He glanced around and quickly retracted his gaze, focusing on the three upright thin bamboo poles a few steps ahead.

Every spring, villagers in the village buy several bundles of bamboo to build racks when planting crops such as cucumbers and beans.

The thinner end of the bamboo is of little use and will basically be chopped off.

The thin bamboo poles in front of Jiang Yao, which were less than one meter long, were what he took from home when he came out.

Use tire wire to make a Liuyang hook, connect it to the fishing line, and then wrap the fishing line around a plastic bottle, and a set of simple fishing gear is ready.

When using, take a long strip of bran cake that you have sawed yourself, put it into the tire coil circle of the Liuyang hook and tighten it.

Tie it with a rubber band, hook the fishhook around the bran cake, and throw it far away.

After the bait enters the water and sinks to the bottom, straighten the fishing line and wrap it around the upright thin bamboo poles several times.

There were a few small bells tied to the end of the bamboo pole. Jiang Yao's family used to have dogs, and the bells were originally hung around the dogs' necks. He found them and used them here.

In this way, once the fish bites the hook and pulls the fishing line, the tough bamboo pole will shake violently, causing the bell to jingle.

Three sets of these simple fishing gear only cost a few dollars in total.

Jiang Yao's simple fishing method does save money, but the only downside is that if he encounters a big fish, the line may break and he won't be able to pull it up.

But there is nothing he can do about it, because he is short of money and has hardly any money in his pocket!

Nowadays, although the types of fishing gear sold in the fishing tackle stores in the county are very limited, sea fishing rods can still be bought.

If he had money in his pocket, why would he use this plastic bottle?
These days, the daytime temperature is getting higher and higher. With the temperature reaching nearly 40 degrees, your skin will be sunburned if you stay in the sun for a little longer.

I stayed by the river that night, enjoying the river breeze. It was cool, but there were too many mosquitoes.

Jiang Yao came here before the sun set and stayed there for several hours without seeing any fish bite. However, his legs were already covered with big lumps from mosquito bites.

In his previous life, he was a loser. Even in his forties, he was still a bachelor.

He finally met a woman who was willing to talk to him and get to know him deeply. He thought he had met true love, but it turned out that she was only interested in his pocket.

The two had been together for less than half a year, and all the savings he had accumulated through years of hard work were gone.

After saying goodbye, the woman disappeared.

When Jiang Yao found the woman, she was already in the arms of another man. Facing Jiang Yao, she not only did not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but was even sarcastic and mocking.

So Jiang Yao got angry, took out the fruit knife he carried with him, and stabbed him more than ten times.

There was a gunshot at the execution ground, and when Jiang Yao woke up, he had already appeared in this world.

He was originally an uncle, but now he is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. Although he is still poor, he has gained something by being able to live a new life.

When he just woke up, he thought he was reborn as Jiang Yao in the late 1990s and was pleasantly surprised.

After all, for him who still retains the memories of his previous life, even if he doesn't achieve great success in this life, it should not be a problem for him to achieve economic freedom with things like Moutai, housing prices, and Bitcoin.

Unfortunately, as time passed, after receiving most of the memories of his previous life, he realized that he was traveling through time and space, and was not reborn at all.

In such a completely different world, the few memories of Jiang Yao's past life that he retained seemed to be of no use at all.

For more than half a month, after he had gained a certain understanding of the world, he didn't think about anything else but making money.

It’s a pity that after all his efforts, he still had nothing in his pocket.

After all, the world he lives in now is in the midst of a wave of layoffs. There are only a few companies in the county that can still operate normally. If he wants to work in one of them, it is simply not likely without some connections.

On the streets, there are groups of young people who have nothing to do and are always causing trouble.

As for what other cities in the Federation look like? Jiang Yao has no idea. After all, his original body has never left the county and has no memory of this at all.

In his previous life, he did not have a high level of education, nor did he know any advanced skills. Before the accident, he was just a courier.

As for the original body, he dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school and stayed at home. He also had no academic qualifications and no skills.

If he really couldn't find any other way to make money, why would he come to the river to feed mosquitoes so late at night?
After all, grass carp and carp in the river can be sold for three or four yuan per catty.

If he is lucky enough to catch a big fish, even if he doesn't become rich, at least he can have a little more money in his pocket.

My mind was full of random thoughts and before I knew it, another half hour had passed.

"When the bell rings, there's a ton of gold. I've already been in the air force for a few days, but you still don't give me a bite. Do you think you're being fair to me?"

Looking at the thin bamboo poles that remained motionless in front of him, Jiang Yao sighed.

With a frown on his face, he felt his trouser pocket, which contained all his belongings, three dollars and eighty cents.

Those friends of the same age in the village, without a penny on them, could run to the county town and spend most of the night there.

Jiang Yao was not used to such a life. He always felt insecure and uneasy without money in his pocket. For this reason, he had declined several invitations from his childhood friends.

"What does it mean that a penny can make a hero fall? This must be..." With a sigh, Jiang Yao raised his wrist to check the time.

When we first got into the river, the sun hadn't set yet. Before we knew it, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, not much closer to eleven o'clock.

"Is it already so late?"

After a slight pause, Jiang Yao smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I'll just put the pole away and go back. This is another wasted trip!"

Although his village was not far from the river, it would take at least half an hour to walk back.

A few days ago, when he went night fishing by the river, he packed up his fishing rod and left before 10 o'clock.

It's indeed a bit late today.

Jiang Yao jumped up from the ground, stretched his body slightly, and walked a few steps to the bamboo pole closest to him.

After untangling the fishing line, he picked up the plastic bottle on the ground and prepared to reel it in.

"Ding-ling-ling... Ding-ling-ling..." Just at this moment, a clear bell suddenly rang.

Delighted, Jiang Yao quickly looked in the direction where the ringing sound came from.

Under the dim moonlight, he could clearly see that the bamboo pole with a bell tied to it on his left hand side had bent into a bow and was shaking constantly.

Judging from the situation, if the bamboo pole had not been inserted deep into the sand, the pole and the plastic bottle with the fishing line on it might have been dragged directly into the water.

"This noise... is definitely a big fish..."

Jiang Yao, who had been sighing just now, is now full of energy.

With a flash, he rushed to the bamboo pole where the bell was ringing and grabbed the plastic bottle in his hand.

After untying the fishing line wrapped around the bamboo pole, he picked up the plastic bottle and began to slowly reel it in.

At the beginning, he could feel an obvious struggle.

However, after just a few turns of the line, I could no longer feel any movement, but the area below the fishing line was still very heavy.

Although it was a bit difficult for him to reel in the line, as long as he could pull it, it shouldn't be a problem to pull the fish out of the water.

"Something seems a little off. If there really is a big fish down there, it wouldn't be so calm except for being sinking!"

"Could it be that the fish was scurrying around in the water and my hook got caught on something else?"

As he talked to himself, Jiang Yao, who was originally in high spirits, couldn't help but frown.

A few more minutes passed, and the thing underwater was finally pulled up by him.

Originally, Jiang Yao thought he had hooked onto some water plants or some old shoes or clothes, but to his surprise, what he pulled up was actually a fish.

It was a carp weighing about three or four pounds, but its eyes had turned white and its body had changed color.

If he got closer, Jiang Yao could even clearly smell the rotten odor unique to dead fish.

"Dead fish? You still want to talk straight? Fuck..."

In the dim moonlight, Jiang Yao saw the two fish hooks under the fishing line hooked in the fish's mouth. He looked depressed and cursed inwardly.

The dead fish is biting, so just lift the rod and leave.

He must have heard this saying circulating among fishermen.

But he has always been a brave man, otherwise, in the dark, he would not have the courage to come to the river alone to fish at night.

After all, there are many graves piled up in large areas near the river.

After taking the fishhook out of the dead fish's mouth and kicking it into the water, he was already preparing to pack up and leave, so naturally he didn't plan to stay any longer.

At this moment, he felt a flash before his eyes, and something like a light curtain suddenly appeared in his sight.

On the light curtain, Chinese characters began to appear one after another.

[On the third day of July in the 99th year of the new calendar, you were fishing at night in Yuanjiang River and encountered a dead fish.

Feeling a little nervous, you returned home. For the next few days, you stayed at home and never went down to the river again.

Five days later, on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, you feel that the matter has passed. The so-called dead fish mouth is simply a superstitious statement and there is nothing to be taboo about.

The sun has just set, and you are ready to go down to the river again with your fishing gear. When you walk to the intersection between the village entrance and the neighboring village, you suddenly see a white shadow passing by, and then you become distracted and dazed.

The next moment, a dump truck came towards you, and with a bang, you were dead...】
