Chapter 188 - 187, A Bountiful Harvest
Qingshan Village had abundant water resources, so the river teemed with delicious freshwater catches. When Xu Wendong arrived at the riverbank with his flashlight, he spotted many crabs resting on the sandy shore and river prawns the size of a pinky finger.
He even saw a few eels weighing over a pound each, loaches, and, besides these, a wild soft-shell turtle as large as a plate.
"Finally, I can satisfy my cravings!"
Xu Wendong was overjoyed and, using skills he learned as a child, caught half a bucket of river treasures, though he didn’t manage to catch his favorite river prawns.
Since he didn’t have a scoop net, despite his expertise in catching fish and picking shrimp, he couldn’t catch those prawns in the water. However, the two eels, the wild soft-shell turtle, and the numerous crabs could still enrich his meals.
Under the moonlit night, Xu Wendong carried a bucket of water back to the village committee. At the same time, he sent messages to his sister-in-law, Huang Ruirui, Ding Yao, and Wu Mei to let them know he was safe.
He informed them that he was doing well in Qingshan Village and there was no need to worry.
Upon returning to the village committee, Xu Wendong found a stone to cover the bucket to prevent any neighborhood cats from ruining his catch.

After entering his room, Xu Wendong casually tugged on the "String Box" by the door. The darkened room instantly lit up.
Just as he was about to lock the door and start his cultivation, he suddenly became alert. He moved cautiously to the bedside and lifted the summer quilt.
