Chapter 408 Shen with the Radical ‘Water’, Lian with the Radical ‘Fire’ (1/2)

The first fish caught could have been accidental, but having caught the second live fish made Chen Jinchan serious at once. The good thing was that after some time had passed, the young person did not hook a third fish during that period, but Chen Jinchan himself did not hook any as well.

The wind and rain became increasingly desolate, and mist rose from the river. Chen Jinchan heightened his perception to the maximum, and yet still could not sense the presence of a fish. During his moment of tiredness, the young person caught a third fish, jet black all over, with thick lips and long barbels, it looked extremely formidable.

This time, Chen Jinchan was not only amazed but also very envious. That type of fish was known as 'dragon carp', said to possess dragon blood, if it could leap that dragon's gate, it would transform into a dragon. But dragon's gate was a myth, after all, even old Mountain God probably had no idea where was it located at.

That was why the dragon carp was so precious. After one ate it, one could live for another ten years. The people of Chen Village, the Honourable Witch excepted, the rest only had lifespans up to a hundred. The addition of another ten years was a surprise that could not be envisioned.

Chen Jinchan knew that even though this dragon carp was no more than one feet long, but he feared its power could surpass an adult of Chen Village. He once saw one of the villagers, who hooked a fish with his fishing rod, but in the end, was dragged into the waters of the Ruoshui River.

Even a goose feather could not float, if a man were to fall into the river there would surely be no way to resurface.

From then onwards, Chen Jinshan was extra cautious when he went fishing.

Fortunately, his perception was exceptionally acute, so as long as he was just that extra bit more careful, more cautious, his rewards would be quite considerable. To him, fishing was a pleasure and not a means of livelihood, and so as not to cause the villagers to ask all sorts of questions, almost all the fish he caught was released by him back into the river.

In actual fact, he himself did not notice that he was a person who values life very much.

That young man retrieved his rod and was prepared to leave, but he did not bring along his catch. Chen Jinchan quickly chased after him and called, ”Brother, your fish!”

The delicate young person smiled, ”Take this as my gift for you, it seems that you are more in need of this fish. After all, fishing in this weather is not pleasurable at all.”

Chen Jinchan was startled, then put on a serious face and bowed, ”Thank you so much big brother, may I know your name? I will return your kindness in the future.”

The delicate young man replied, ”My name is Shen Lian.for visiting.

Shedding his straw rain cape and bamboo hat, he respectfully offered the dragon carp. The witch appeared unsurprised, she raised an eyebrow and asked, ”Who did you meet?”
