Chapter 5 We're Getting Rich!

• Lin Fan found a long wooden stick by the riverbank and took out a delicate dagger from his waist.
• Quickly, he sharpened the end of the wooden stick into a spear-like shape.
• Then, he stared intently at the river.
• "Is he really planning to use this method to injure that big fish?"
• Zhang Ling was a bit dumbfounded.
• How is that possible!
• But!
• The next second, she saw Lin Fan make a move!
• In Lin Fan's hands, the wooden stick was like a war spear, flying out as he threw it.
• Whooshing sounds echoed all around.
• Splash!
• Then, Lin Fan jumped into the river.
• "Lin Fan! Ah! Lin Fan!"
• Seeing Lin Fan dive into the water and being swept away by the swift current, Zhang Ling hurriedly ran along the riverbank.
• Especially when she saw some red liquid blooming in the water!
• This made her even more frightened!
• "Hoo hoo!"
• Lin Fan's head quickly emerged from the river.
• "Lin Fan!"
• "Xiao Ling, don't worry, I'm fine!"
• "Well, Lin Fan, come up quickly!"
• Lin Fan was at least ten meters away from where he jumped into the water.
• There must be an undercurrent in the river that swept him away.
• Zhang Ling worried that he would be caught in an even stronger undercurrent and wouldn't be able to come up.
• "Alright!"
• Lin Fan slowly swam towards the shore.
• "Xiao Ling, we're getting rich!"
• When Lin Fan reached the shore, he still held the wooden stick in his hand.
• At this moment, Zhang Ling ran to the riverbank and vaguely saw something being dragged by the end of the stick.
• "Wow! Lin Fan, you've stabbed that big fish!"
• "Yeah!"
• Saying that, Lin Fan pulled the stick, and the fish in the water revealed its true appearance.
• "This fish! It looks like a yellowfin tuna!"
• Zhang Ling exclaimed.
• She had read about yellowfin tuna in books. It was one of the top delicacies among ocean fish!
• "That's right! Yellowfin tuna. Xiao Ling has a good eye!"
• Lin Fan smiled happily and took the stick off, carrying the yellowfin tuna ashore.
• This fish weighed at least 130 kilograms!
• And it was a pure wild fish!
• According to Lin Fan's analysis, this fish could easily be sold for 600 to 1,000 yuan per kilogram in a big city!
• Even if it weighed only 100 kilograms, it could still bring in an income of 60,000 yuan!
• "Lin Fan, could this fish really be a yellowfin tuna?"
• Zhang Ling's breathing became heavy.
• She had heard her classmates talk about it.
• Even the most common type of yellowfin tuna was quite expensive.
• And the bigger and heavier the fish, the higher the price!
• The fish Lin Fan was carrying was about 1.5 to 1.6 meters long and weighed at least 100 kilograms!
• Even if it was sold cheaply, it could still fetch several dozen yuan per kilogram!
• Lin Fan quickly carried the fish to the riverbank.
• Zhang Ling finally got a clear view of the big fish.
• "It's true, this is a yellowfin tuna. The size, the weight, and the fact that it's in a wild environment, it could easily sell for 700 to 800 yuan per kilogram in a big city."
• "Oh my god!"
• Zhang Ling was shocked.
• She had never seen so much money before!
• Moreover, Lin Fan had just casually thrown the stick and earned tens of thousands of yuan!
• "Brother, please take care of me!"
• Zhang Ling blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Lin Fan affectionately, rubbing her hands together, afraid that Lin Fan would abandon her.
• "Tsk tsk, who taught you that? So wicked?"
• "Hehe! I'm just kidding. How should we handle this big fish, Lin Fan?"
• Zhang Ling, with thin skin, didn't dare to continue joking with Lin Fan and quickly changed the subject.
• "I'll go to the county town later and see if there are any knowledgeable bosses there. The county town is not a big city, so as long as we can sell it for a good price, it's fine."
• "Lin Fan, how heavy is this fish? Can we carry it back home?"
• "About 130 kilograms, it's quite light."
• Lin Fan grabbed some nearby grass vines, quickly made two grass ropes, and tied the fish's head and tail together.
• Then, he carried the fish on his back.
• "Awesome!"
• Zhang Ling was amazed by Lin Fan's actions and behavior.
• She raised her thumbs in admiration.
• Ten minutes later, the two returned to the village. Lin Fan's house was at the top of the village, close to the famous lake and mountains.
• From a distance, Lin Fan and Zhang Ling saw a figure standing in front of the courtyard gate.
• "Lin Fan, that's Village Chief Sun Jianguo. You should remember him, right?"
• "I do, Uncle Sun, the kind-hearted person in our village. It's only natural for him to become the village chief."
• When Sun Jianguo saw Lin Fan carrying a big fish back, he forgot all the prepared words he had in mind.
• "Lin Fan! I heard everyone say that you just came back for a while and caught a big fish?"
• "Hehe, I was lucky to catch the fish."
• "Wow! This fish must weigh at least 100 kilograms!"
• Sun Jianguo had lived in Minghu Village all his life. Besides hearing from his elders that there were big fish in the famous lake, he had never seen one himself! Lin Fan really surprised him.
• "Yeah, about 100 kilograms."
• "Amazing! This fish should be taken to the county town to sell. It must be worth a lot of money!"
• "I plan to go to the county later, but it seems like there are no buses or anything in our town."
• Lin Fan arrived in the county town at 6 o'clock last night and had to walk back to Minghu Village.
• In this remote mountain village and small town, transportation was really inconvenient.
• "Ah, there used to be buses from our town to the county town, but later, Xu Niu took over the route from Jinghu Town to Fenghe County. The buses stopped coming. If you want to go to the county town, you either have to ride a bike yourself or pay Xu Niu to ride his tricycle."
• Sun Jianguo said helplessly.
• "Oh, Xu Niu..."
• It was Xu Niu again. Lin Fan was already starting to have ideas about this rascal.
• "Forget about Xu Niu. He has quite a bit of influence in the town and the county. We can't afford to provoke him, so just avoid him."
• Sun Jianguo continued, "Lin Fan, if you want to take this big fish to the county town, you can ride my tricycle later. Cover the fish with a sack and quietly go to the county town."
• "Uncle Sun, is that convenient?"
• "How is it not convenient! I heard from everyone that if you stay in the village, just based on this, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me!"
• Seeing Sun Jianguo's excited appearance, Lin Fan didn't refuse anymore.
• Sure enough, Sun Jianguo ran back and pushed the tricycle over.
• It was a foot-pedaled tricycle, barely usable.
• From Minghu Village to Fenghe County, it would take an hour by motorcycle, and with a tricycle, it should be within three hours.
• "Xiao Ling, I'll go by myself this time. You and Aunt Chen have something to eat at noon. I'll buy some meat back in the evening. Remember to rest, you didn't sleep last night."
• "Okay, Lin Fan, don't worry about me and my mom. Take care of yourself."
• After explaining everything, Lin Fan rode the tricycle out of the village.
• Because the fish was covered with a sack, the villagers only greeted him with concern and didn't ask too many questions.
• Minghu Village was located among several big mountains, so Lin Fan had to take a mountain road, which happened to be suitable for a tricycle.
• There were also a few big slopes, and coupled with poor brakes, the road out of the mountains was extremely dangerous for Lin Fan.
• He wasn't afraid of getting hurt himself, but he was worried that the village chief's tricycle would fall apart.
• After more than three hours, Lin Fan finally arrived in Fenghe County on the tricycle.
