Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

The old man hadn't seen such a big bluefish in a long time, and he was really craving it, so he planned to buy it to satisfy his craving.

News of the catch of the big grass carp spread quickly, and many people fishing nearby and passersby gathered around, marveling at the large fish.

"Young man, your luck is simply incredible! We haven't seen such a big bluefish in Shichahai for many years!"

"Yes, yes, if this fish were made into a whole fish feast, it would be enough to satisfy the whole family!"

Among the onlookers, many fishermen immediately moved closer to Chen Wenqi, hoping to share in his good luck.

Such a lively scene naturally wouldn't be complete without Yan Bugui. He recognized Chen Wenqi at a glance, his face filled with disbelief.

"Chen Wenqi? This... did you really catch this big grass carp?" Yan Bugui quickly stepped forward, his eyes full of surprise. He had been fishing for so many years and had never seen anyone catch such a big grass carp. He immediately had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation.

A fellow angler nearby, witnessing this scene, asked Yan Bugui curiously, "Old Yan, do you know this young man?"

"Of course!" Yan Bugui said without changing his expression. "He's a kid from our compound. I even taught him how to fish when he was little!"

Chen Wenqi completely ignored Yan Bugui's boasting and turned to the old man who had just asked about the price, smiling as he said, "Grandpa, if you really want it, I'll sell it to you."

"Thank you so much, young man!" The old man immediately beamed and quickly took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

He took the money, threaded the prepared straw rope through the gills of the big bluefish, and laboriously lifted the fish up. It was indeed quite heavy, probably weighing seventeen or eighteen pounds.

Ten yuan is not expensive at all to buy such a rare big bluefish. The old man felt it was a great deal.

Yan Bugui was incredibly jealous when he saw Chen Wenqi sell a single fish for ten yuan. He quickly put on a smile and approached him, saying, "Chen Wenqi, you're so lucky! But there's a trick to fishing. Would you like me to teach you a few tricks...?"

"No need." Chen Wenqi interrupted Yan Bugui, his face showing obvious disgust as Yan Bugui approached.

A fellow angler who knew Yan Bugui well couldn't help but joke, "Old Yan, you should just give up! That young man caught such a big grass carp in one go. You've been fishing for so many years, when have you ever caught one this big? And you still have the nerve to say you're going to teach him."

Chen Wenqi ignored the crowd's discussions, took out some cornmeal from the cloth bag he carried with him, scooped up some ordinary lake water, and kneaded it into a bait ball.

The bait I used to make with the spring water was too noisy and could easily attract unnecessary trouble, so it's better to keep a low profile.

Fortunately, he had the "cheat code" of the secret realm. Although ordinary cornbread bait wasn't very attractive, he could easily get a big fish weighing over ten kilograms from the secret realm and secretly hook it onto his fishing hook.

Sure enough, not long after, the sound of hooks biting came from the water again, immediately attracting the attention of those around.

Chen Wenqi pulled the fish ashore, and the onlookers were once again shocked—it was another big grass carp, although it was slightly smaller than the previous one, but it was estimated to weigh about fifteen or sixteen pounds.

An elderly man who had been watching from the sidelines quickly stepped forward, wanting to buy the fish.

After a brief discussion, Chen Wenqi sold the big bluefish to the old man for eight yuan.

This made Yan Bugui extremely jealous. In just a few minutes, Chen Wenqi earned eighteen yuan.

Keep in mind that his monthly salary is only a little over thirty yuan, and Chen Wenqi has earned almost half a month's salary in just a short time!

Yan Bugui muttered to himself: Could there be some secret behind this kid's bait?

That's right, it must be the bait! These anglers usually use earthworms as bait, but Chen Wenqi was just using ordinary dough.

The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the more convinced he was of his guess. A glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he shamelessly moved closer to Chen Wenqi again.

"Chen Wenqi," Yan Bugui said with a fawning smile and a hint of ingratiation in his voice, "I've just run out of earthworms, could you spare some of your bait for me?"

Chen Wenqi was too lazy to argue with him any longer, lest the old guy buzz around him like a fly, so he broke off a small piece of dough from his hand and handed it over: "It's just ordinary cornbread. If you don't mind, you can take it."

After selling the two big fish, Chen Wenqi packed up his fishing rod, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui quickly caught up and asked, "Chen Wenqi, are you turning back? Aren't you going to fish a little longer?"

"Just wander around." Chen Wenqi replied casually, then turned and slowly walked along the shore of Shichahai Lake.

Seeing that Chen Wenqi had stopped fishing, the other anglers gradually lost interest and returned to their own spots, refocusing their attention on their fishing rods.

Meanwhile, Chen Wenqi was secretly channeling his spiritual power, carefully exploring the bottom of Shichahai Lake along its shore, hoping to find more treasures hidden underwater.

As expected, he was not disappointed. Searching along the lake shore, he found two more wooden boxes of different sizes, as well as a number of scattered porcelain, jade and ancient coins.

To his even greater surprise, he also found two pistols and a rifle.

However, these firearms have been submerged in water for so many years, they must be rusty and almost completely damaged.

But Chen Wenqi didn't think too much about it. He put all these things into the Xuanwu Secret Realm and planned to try to repair them after he returned. After all, no man can resist the temptation of firearms.

Calculating the time, it had been more than an hour since he came out. Chen Wenqi thought to himself that the Xuanwu Secret Realm was still empty. If he wanted to raise livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep in the future, he would have to plant some pasture first, and it would be best to plan out a large grassland.

So he searched for a long time in the nearby grass, selected some grass seeds and plants that were suitable for laying lawns and could also be used as livestock feed, and used his mind to move them into the secret realm, so that the system could help plan a lawn of 100 acres.

On the other side, Yan Bugui, who received the cornbread from Chen Wenqi, was originally looking forward to catching a few big fish, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't catch a single fish, let alone a big one. The cornbread was even less useful than earthworms.
