Chapter 2: How to get on good terms with Tang San

~8 min read 1,592 words

Jerry excitedly ran to Tang Hao with his short legs: "Uncle Tang Hao, is little Tang San here? I want to find him to play."

Hearing Jerry's childish voice, Tang Hao slightly opened his dazed eyes and glanced at me: "It's little Jerry. You're looking for Little San? He went to the back mountain to play. Go find him there!" After speaking, he closed his eyes again. After all, he didn't take a three-year-old brat seriously!】

"Thank you, Uncle Tang Hao, then I'll go find Little San!" After speaking, Jerry ran toward the back mountain!】

Tang Hao thought to himself that Little San had a somewhat withdrawn personality and never played with the children in the village. This little Jerry was the same age as him, so they should be able to play together! Thinking of this, he fell asleep peacefully again!】

Jerry ran to the back mountain, panting with exhaustion. The child's body was really weak; he was tired after walking such a short distance. It seems he would need to strengthen his training in the future, but thinking about tricking Tang San, he suddenly had motivation and quickened his pace.】

The so-called back mountain was just a small hill, about forty or fifty meters high, with a winding path leading directly to the top. Occasionally, some children would come to play, but adults basically wouldn't come.】

Jerry used all his strength and finally climbed to the top of the small hill. The air at the top was very good, and the view was also very good. Looking at it at a glance, the whole village was in full view.】

On the hillside, there was a large rock, and on the large rock sat a child. This should be Tang San, right? His appearance was average, and he was a bit thin and weak, looking like a malnourished child at first glance. He wore cloth clothes that were washed until they were almost white, but they were very clean, unlike the other children. Sure enough, he was an adult soul; he knew how to be clean!】

How should I make contact with Tang San? Suddenly, I felt a bit troubled.】

No, I am a child now; I should just use a child's way. What is a child's way?】

After all, as an adult soul, suddenly feeling like pretending to be a child felt a bit shameless.】

【Forget it, I am a child now, why think so much! But Tang San is also an adult soul. Judging from the experience of reading hundreds of fan-fiction novels, Tang San is a double-standard man, a hypocrite, and someone who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. In his previous life, he could steal the Tang Sect secret manuals as an outer sect disciple; his scheming must be unusually heavy! I can only try first!】

"Tang San, Tang San, what are you doing?" Jerry asked.】

"It's little Jerry. I'm not doing anything, just came out to look at the scenery. You came up to play?" Tang San said.】

Hearing someone call him, Tang San hurriedly finished his work and looked at little Jerry. So it was the village head's grandson! It just so happened that his Mysterious Heaven Art had long been cultivated to the first layer but couldn't break through, and he felt a bit annoyed. At home, there was a drunkard father who did nothing and waited for him to cook. After all, he had a father in this life and was no longer an orphan. This hard-won family affection was also something Tang San cherished very much!】

"I see that you are different from the other children in the village. You are more sensible, so I want to ask you to go with me to get something to eat. Eating porridge every day is too tasteless. Let's go get some meat." Jerry casually found an excuse and said!】

Hearing Jerry say let's go get something to eat together, he immediately became interested. That's right, if he could get something to eat himself, he could improve his life. Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran down!】

"Little Jerry, where are we going to get food?" Tang San asked.】

"There is a waterfall on the west side of the back mountain. I saw that there are many fish below the waterfall. Let's go there to catch fish." Jerry said! After all, to get on good terms with Tang San, he couldn't just ask for the cultivation technique right away. If it aroused Tang San's suspicion, he might not live past the third episode! Better to be careful!】

"But the water there is a bit deep, and we are both too short to go down," Tang San said!】

As long as one's thinking doesn't slide, there are always more methods than difficulties.】

"I have a way. Let's go home first to prepare tools. Once we have tools, we can catch whatever fish we want. Believe me!" Jerry said confidently. As a veteran angler, how could he not have tools at his fingertips!】

After speaking, he ran back to the village with Tang San. First, he returned home and, relying on his memory, found two needles. However, these needles were a bit large, and since they were all coarse cloth and linen clothes, the needles used were naturally not small.】

"Tang San, your home is a blacksmith shop. Can you help me forge something? I'll draw a picture for you. It's very small and doesn't need much material!" After speaking, Jerry drew the shape of a fishhook on the ground.】

"This? It looks very easy. I can forge it. Let's go to my house!" Tang San said and pulled Jerry away.】

Arriving at the blacksmith shop, Tang Hao was still lying lazily in front of the door.】

"Father, we want to forge a small thing," Tang San said.】

"Forge something? Can you do it?" Tang Hao slowly opened his eyes and asked.】

"A very simple thing, I can do it!" Tang San said. In his previous life, he had even forged the Buddha Fury Lotus; this small fishhook was naturally a piece of cake.】

"Then go ahead!" Tang Hao said, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.】

Then Tang San started forging. His technique was skillful, and he soon finished forging it.】

Looking at the fishhook in his hand, Jerry tested it. It was very sharp and purely handmade. Sure enough, it was much better than the mass-produced ones from his previous life.】

Jerry was an angler, not a novice, so he basically used barbless fishhooks, which also caused less harm to the fish.】

Afterwards, he asked Tang San to forge a few more of different sizes. He didn't know the size of the fish yet, so he prepared more to keep on hand.】

The fishhook was settled, and then he found a roll of coarse hemp thread. The thread used by commoners in this world was still very thick, and after pulling it a few times, it was very sturdy. As a fishing line, it was absolutely no problem. How to solve the float?】

So he went out with Tang San to look for it and finally found dried reed stalks by the river. He threw them into the water to test them, and the buoyancy was okay. They could be used, but they couldn't be used for a long time because they would absorb water. Now there was no waterproof coating, so he could only make do.】

The float material was found, so he cut it into sections to use as a seven-star float. The lead sinker was a piece of scrap iron found in Tang San's fertilizer pile. Although it wasn't lead, the material was also very soft, so he could just roll it up and use it.】

The fishing rod was two bamboo poles about four meters long. There were longer bamboo poles, but they were slightly thicker and inconvenient to hold. Jerry did know of a kind of bamboo that was thin and long, but there was no such bamboo in the village, so he could only use ordinary bamboo first to fish and see the situation, and then improve the equipment later.】

Looking at the two fishing rods Jerry made, Tang San asked: "Jerry, can these tools catch fish?" After all, Tang San's Tang Sect in his previous life was in the Shu region, and he had been adopted by Tang Sect people since he was a child, always in the mountains, and he was also an ancient person; he had never seen modern fishing equipment!】

"Don't worry, it will definitely be no problem!" Jerry was very confident, the confidence of a veteran angler!】

To tell the truth, in his previous life, he didn't know who it was, but he went fishing every day and was very addicted. He would go to the river to cast a few times whenever he had nothing to do. Many nearby anglers knew him and secretly called him the "Turtle Immortal Air Force Commander"!】

Someone didn't know it himself; he didn't catch many fish, his technique was average, but he had a pile of equipment, and his living expenses were all spent on equipment! But once it came to fishing, he was confident. If anyone said anything about him, he could argue with you for half a day.】

PS: New author, seeking recommendation votes!】

New author, I wrote a lot in one breath at the beginning, then found that a lot was not written clearly, so I revised it!】
