"Hey, isn't this Crazy Chen?"
Zhou Xiaochuan looked sarcastic with a sneer on his face.
He also likes to hang out and often hangs out with Li Tielong and other hooligans.
When he heard that Li Tielong was killed by the sickly Chen Jianan, he laughed a lot.
In his opinion, no matter how crazy Chen Jianan was, he would only dare to use a knife on Li Tielong.
In front of himself, a militia captain, he is not even good enough.
Of course Chen Jianan felt the sarcasm in Zhou Xiaochuan's tone.
But he was not enraged.
This kid is far inferior to his father, he is just a simple-minded guy.
"I'm looking for Village Chief Zhou."
Chen Jianan's voice was calm.
"Haha, sure."
"Dad, Crazy Chen is here to see you."
Zhou Xiaochuan was now thinking only of Liu Qingyi and had no interest in dealing with a sickly person, so he turned around and left.
"Village Chief Zhou, I heard that you sent me to open up wasteland on the grassland."
Chen Jianan walked steadily into the village office.
Zhou Huanghe was already sitting upright at the desk with a serious look on his face.
"How can you talk like that? What's the allocation?"
"This is a decision made by the village committee, and developing the wasteland is also in response to the call of the village committee."
"You, young comrade, need to improve your ideological awareness."
Zhou Huanghe started scolding as soon as he opened his mouth, and everything he said was unreasonable.
"Village chief, you misunderstood. I have nothing against the deserted grassland."
Chen Jianan smiled slightly.
"Um?"
Zhou Huanghe was still waiting for Chen Jianan to argue so that he could continue to scold him.
I didn't expect that he would have this attitude.
"Uh... well, it's good that you have this awareness."
"Since you agreed to open up the wasteland, why are you here?"
"Even though you are young, you still have to work hard. Otherwise, don't blame me if your dividends are less after the autumn harvest."
Zhou Huanghai still had a stern face.
"Village head, I agree that we can open up wasteland, but the work points cannot be distributed as usual."
"After all, everyone knows how dangerous the wasteland is and how difficult it is to open up the wasteland."
"If you give me less work points, won't I starve to death?"
Chen Jianan asked back.
"Then tell me, how many work points do you want?"
Zhou Huanghai sneered in his heart.
A young boy who wants to play tricks on me and negotiate conditions with me.
When I was the village chief, you still wouldn't leave!
Zhou Huanghai was confident that no matter what conditions Chen Jianan proposed for the distribution of work points, he would be able to refute him speechless.
"I don't want work points."
Chen Jianan shook his head.
"Um?"
Zhou Huanghe was stunned again. Why did this kid's words make people so surprised?
Is he really crazy?
"I want all the hunting and fishing in the wild grasslands."
"As for the harvest from clearing the land and planting it, I want half."
Chen Jianan said slowly.
Anyway, the village was making losses and work points were worthless.
It would be better to just give up and put forward other conditions.
Zhou Huanghe was delighted when he heard this.
"Haha, OK, I agree."
Zhou Huanghe thought, this boy is such a fool.
I also want to hunt and fish in the wasteland.
If it were that easy, would it still be your turn?
Everyone knows that there is a pit every three steps and a ridge every five steps on the wasteland.
Once you get stuck in the quagmire, you can't get out. I don't know how many people have been killed by it.
Not to mention those tigers, wolves and wild beasts.
Chen Jianan is really a wild idea.
As for the harvest from the land reclamation.
Zhou Huanghe thought this was even more ridiculous.
Just relying on Chen Jianan, how much land can he reclaim?
Even if we can produce some food, it is not enough to feed one person.
And he doesn't know it yet...you'll soon have someone to keep you company.
It's just perfect. Then I'll offer the same conditions to Liu Qingyi. You two can starve to death on the wasteland.
Zhou Huanghe was very proud in his heart. When the villagers saw what happened to Chen Jianan and Liu Qingyi, they would surely be afraid of being exiled to the deserted grassland.
When Chen Jianan asked him to write a note, he wrote it without hesitation.
He also signed his own name and stamped the village seal.
Chen Jianan carefully put the note away.
With this note, if you develop the wasteland yourself, it will have legal effect and can protect all your harvests.
"Okay, I've given you the note, hurry up and leave, don't delay your work."
Zhou Huanghe waved his hand impatiently.
Chen Jianan didn't say anything more.
Just as he was leaving the village office, he looked back at Zhou Huanghe and remembered the conversation with Tang Huai in the town.
"I wonder if you can still be as arrogant as you are now when you are punished..."
Chen Jianan looked at Zhou Huanghe who was pretending to be serious, then turned and left.
Wasteland.
Chen Jianan arrived at the place where he had been last time with ease.
Those little animals apparently have no memory.
Three pheasants were just killed yesterday, and today there are some small animals moving around again.
However, Chen Jianan was not in a hurry to hunt today.
They came to a puddle.
There are mostly small puddles in the wasteland, but there are also some larger ones.
The pond in front of me is five meters square.
According to villagers, there are large pits more than ten meters deep in the wasteland.
As there were wild beasts roaming there, Chen Jianan would never take the risk.
"A big puddle five meters square, enough for fishing."
Hitting roe deer with a stick and scooping fish with a ladle are not just empty reputations.
“Swish!”
Chen Jianan grabbed the fishing net, threw it out in a beautiful shape, and it splashed into the water.
The puddle in the wasteland looks shallow, but it actually holds a secret.
The edge of the pit was three or four meters deep, and if you fell in, you would disappear.
Chen Jianan was also very careful to avoid stepping on air.
He took a horse stance, put his waist and horse together, and began to pull the fishing net.
“Crash…”
When the fishing net came out of the water, Chen Jianan's eyes suddenly lit up.
A big carp, alive and kicking, was struggling desperately in the net.
Fortunately, the fishing net was of good quality, otherwise it would have been broken by it.
“Snap!”
The carp fell on the shore.
Chen Jianan found a branch and pierced it through the fish's gills.
I picked it up and weighed it. It was at least four or five pounds.
Such a big fish was caught in the first net. If the fishermen behind saw it, they would be so envious.
Chen Jianan was very excited and continued to cast his net.
Two consecutive nets were empty. It seems there are no fish in this place.
After observing, he found a safe place to land and continued to cast his net.
This time, a silver carp weighing more than three kilograms was caught in the net.
"call……"
Although the fish is not heavy, it is very strong in the water.
After casting the net several times in a row, Chen Jianan was already exhausted and out of breath.
"My health is too poor. I need to eat more meat to make up for it."
Chen Jianan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"The clothes were so torn that they looked like fishing nets."
Looking at the tattered clothes full of holes, Chen Jianan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
There was no other way. There were three people in the family and each of us only had one set of clothes.
In winter, when there was no cotton wool, people would just stuff some straw into their clothes.
"I have to earn more money to buy clothes for my mother and my little sister. This winter, everyone will wear cotton-padded jackets!"
Thinking back to the winter when his family was shivering with cold, Chen Jianan became more determined to make money.
Not having the energy to continue casting the net, Chen Jianan sat down to rest and drank some water.
Now he has a lot of equipment on him.
There are slingshots, fishing nets, sacks, and a hatchet.
He put the two fish into the sack and took out the slingshot.
Search along the thatched grass along the edge of the puddle.
Soon, a hare was found.
The rabbit's fur is earthy yellow in color, almost blending in with the thatch and the land.
If Chen Jianan wasn't so experienced, it would be really hard to spot.
The rabbit is eating grass leisurely.
Suddenly, as if it had discovered something, its two ears stood up.
The little eyes looked around vigilantly, as if sensing danger.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Just when the rabbit exerted force with its legs and wanted to jump away.
A stone hit its eye accurately.
