Chapter 13 Weirdness
A fish tail swung away the small fish that had lost the competition and was still trying to grab the food. Noticing the gaze of the eldest brother, Yu Fei grabbed the floating grass in one bite and swam quickly to the eldest brother: "Brother, try this."
Yu Yan really wanted to scold him, but seeing his brother trying to please him, since his health became weaker and weaker, Yu Fei rarely appeared so active. Now that he was happy for a rare moment, he didn't want to spoil the fun too much.
Yu Yan glanced at the fish beside him and considered whether he should let his two younger brothers eat a few of them before escaping. After all, his younger brothers were so hungry that they started eating grass. Even though grass tasted good, they have always eaten meat.
Yu Yan looked at the grass in front of him, grabbed it in his mouth and swallowed it quickly. He never liked eating grass.
After eating, Yu Yan smacked his lips. This grass...
Yu Yan looked at the grass floating in the water and quickly took another bite of the grass. This time he did not swallow it whole but felt it carefully.
He was not wrong just now. There was a hint of strangeness in this grass. Compared with some strange food he had eaten before, the strangeness contained in this grass was not much, and it was not considered a good thing. But the problem was that there was not a trace of impurities in it.
I don’t know when it started, but the weird energy in the entire weird world has become less and less, and along with this change, another crisis has emerged. The weird energy of the weird world itself is dissipating uncontrollably.
The impact on the big monster is not that great, but the monsters with slightly weaker strength can only watch themselves getting weaker and weaker, and in order to prevent themselves from completely dissipating, they will choose to devour other monsters.
It was from that time that the strange world became more and more chaotic and dangerous.
Yu Yan’s strength is pretty good, but his two younger brothers can’t. The strange energy in their bodies can’t dissipate and they become weaker and weaker.
As for eating strange food to replenish strange energy, not to mention that strange food is expensive, even if it can be eaten, the strange food nowadays has too many impurities. It’s okay for stronger strange creatures to eat it, but for small strange creatures like Yu Fei, excessive intake of impurities will affect their absorption of strange energy, and may even cause the strange energy to dissipate more severely????????????
At the beginning, the amount of strange energy absorbed from eating strange food could still make up for the strange energy that dissipated, but the more they ate, the more impurities there were in their bodies, and the strange energy dissipated more rapidly. Now they just had to endure it and see how long the strange energy in their bodies could last.
But this grass does not have a single impurity, which means that Yu Fei can absorb a trace of strange energy by eating a piece of grass. Even if it is not much, it is better than only losing energy without gaining any.
Yu Yan instantly put the idea of running away behind him. Seeing that there was not much grass left in the pond and that other small fish were trying to grab some, he simply drove them aside and urged his two younger brothers to eat quickly.
Yu Fei and Yu Ye ate with big mouthfuls, but after only two bites, Yu Fei realized that Yu Yan didn't eat with them, and couldn't help but asked, "Brother?"
"You eat first." Yu Yan didn't explain anything.
Although Yu Fei was puzzled, he thought Yu Yan wanted to eat later, so after hesitating for a moment, he continued eating.
Yu Fei used to dislike eating strange food. For him, although eating strange food can make him less weak, it is painful to eat every time. The more he eats, the more uncomfortable he feels, especially when digesting strange energy. He even wants to stay still. Now, although the grass he eats has very little strange energy, the more he eats, the more comfortable he feels.
The grass that Ying Yuanxing scattered was not too much, and the two monsters ate it very quickly. When Yu Fei came to his senses, he found that there were only two pieces of grass left at the bottom of the pond. Resisting the urge to devour the grass, Yu Fei turned his head to look at Yu Yan, who floated to the surface of the water and stared at the wooden house where Ying Yuanxing was.
"Brother?" Yu Fei grabbed the grass at the bottom of the water and swam over quickly, asking inquiringly. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the grass fell to the bottom. Yu Fei swam down quickly and grabbed it again. This time, he didn't dare to speak, but only expressed his doubt with his eyes.
"Xiaofei, Xiaoye, let's not run away for now, let's stay here for a while." Yu Yan hesitated for a long time, but finally made this decision.
Yu Fei and Yu Ye always listened to Yu Yan. Although Yu Fei was a little puzzled, he didn't ask anything. He just held the grass in his mouth and told Yu Yan to eat it quickly, otherwise Yu Ye on the side would be so greedy that he would rush over to grab it. Even he had to try hard to control himself so as not to swallow the grass in one gulp.
Yu Yan glanced at Yu Fei and Yu Ye, then swallowed the two pieces of grass in one gulp. In fact, the amount of strange energy provided by these two pieces of grass was not much, but he had not absorbed the strange energy without impurities for a long time.
It had been so long that he could hardly remember what it tasted like. Now, a slight coolness spread through his body, and Yu Yan felt a little relaxed. His mouth was filled with a refreshing bitterness and a faint sweetness. This grass was actually quite delicious.
The reason why Yu Yan brought his brother to stay was not just because he coveted the grass provided by Ying Yuanxing, but more because he wanted to take this opportunity to observe Ying Yuanxing.
In his opinion, the grass without impurities must be the big strange secret of Ying Yuanxing. The reason why they were able to easily discover the secret was because the other party treated them as ordinary fish. If they missed this opportunity, they might not even have the chance to get close to the farm.
Observe more, not asking to stay alive, just hoping to buy some grass to take back.
Yu Yan still remembered that Ying Yuanxing went fishing for money. Although with his strength, he didn't need to fish to make money and might just be fishing for fun, they could also take this opportunity to buy grass.
…
Ying Yuanxing had no idea that the little fish he caught was observing him. After getting up, he went to the field and found that the fish he had put in the evening was gone. Although there were no cat's footprints nearby, maybe the kitten was just too vigilant. Anyway, it was fine as long as the fish was eaten.
Ying Yuanxing walked to the edge of the pool and found that the grass he put in yesterday had been eaten up.
Ying Yuanxing glanced at the pond, scooped out a fish at random, and then scattered a handful of grass into the pond.
Although they had agreed to eat grilled fish yesterday, after looking at the work in the fields and thinking about how much he needed to do today, Ying Yuanxing didn't want to grill the fish anymore. But if he didn't grill the fish, he would have to eat raw fish.
Ying Yuanxing frowned. After the game became a reality, it was hard to say whether the raw fish had parasites, but the taste was...
Ying Yuanxing was a little bit troubled by the hurdle in his heart, so he built a fire, put the fish on it after preparing them, and then went to water the fish.
The fish grilled in this way would definitely not taste very good, but Ying Yuanxing suddenly remembered that eating fish is quite time-consuming. It would be ok if it was boneless, but if it had bones, it would be very time-consuming to pick out the bones. He decided to just swallow it in one bite after it was cooked. In this case, as long as it was cooked, it would be fine.
This was the first time Yu Yan had seen someone so enthusiastic about farming, so enthusiastic that it was weirdly hardworking.
Ying Yuanxing spent the whole morning watering, plowing the land, chopping wood, digging stones and cutting weeds. He was very busy.
However, Yu Yan finally understood why the strange black-haired creature appeared in the field.
The seeds are so fragrant!
You didn't feel it when it was covered by the soil, but when it was placed in Ying Yuanxing's hand, the fragrance it exuded made Yu Yan swallow his saliva, not to mention the two little weirdos, Yu Fei and Yu Ye, staring at Ying Yuanxing eagerly, watching him bury the sweet seeds in the soil.
"Brother?" Although Yu Fei just called out, Yu Yan understood what he meant, he wanted to eat.
Although Yu Yan was also greedy, his reason told him that it was not possible.
Ying Yuanxing was very casual when spreading grass, but his attitude towards seeds was obviously different. To him, seeds should be something he cherishes.
Not to mention Ying Yuanxing, yesterday a monster tried to steal seeds, and he saw the result with his own eyes. No matter how tempted he was, he couldn't take any action, otherwise he would die if he tried.
After Ying Yuanxing finished his farm work, he noticed a few fish floating to the surface of the water. Thinking they were hungry, he took out a handful of grass and scattered them down.
Compared to seeds, grass is not as fragrant, but the aroma of seeds is weakened a lot when buried in the soil. It is not bad to eat it as a condiment with grass.
The other fish sensed the scent of food and gathered around. Yu Yan skillfully drove the other fish away and told Yu Fei and Yu Ye to eat quickly. But Yu Fei still remembered that Yu Yan had eaten four pieces of grass yesterday, so he urged him to eat too.
Yu Yan did not refuse and came over to eat together. The three monsters occupied the grass scattered by Ying Yuanxing.
Just as Ying Yuanxing was about to leave, he looked back at the pond and found that there were three bully fish in his pond. Only these three fish could eat the grass, and the other fish were suppressed by the largest fish in the corner and couldn't get through. They had a big appetite, and Ying Yuanxing saw that they directly swept away all the grass, leaving no leftovers for the other fish.
The corners of Ying Yuanxing's mouth twitched. If these three fish were not isolated, the other fish would probably not get any food at all. Although these fish did not look like carnivorous fish, they were a bit too ferocious. What if they killed the other fish? Wouldn't that cause losses?
Ying Yuanxing decided to stop by the village chief's house on the way to rummaging through the trash cans. He remembered that there seemed to be trash cans at the village chief's house, and maybe he could even get a meal there.
Although the food at the village chief's house tasted average, increasing the stamina bar was a temptation that Ying Yuanxing could not resist.
Ying Yuanxing walked quickly around the village, searching through the trash cans one by one, but his luck was average today. After searching for a long time, he only picked up a piece of coal, so the harvest was a bit small.
Ying Yuanxing sighed, but he didn't get rich by rummaging through trash cans. If he could find something useful, he was lucky, but if he couldn't, he could accept it. Now he had to go to the village chief's house.
Ying Yuanxing saw the village chief standing in his yard from afar and shouted hello.
When the village chief saw Ying Yuanxing, he immediately thought of the high-level strange food that Ying Yuanxing had eaten yesterday. That was the stock he had worked hard to save, but Ying Yuanxing had eaten almost half of it. He pretended not to have seen Ying Yuanxing and turned around to go into the house.
"Village chief?" Ying Yuanxing ran over quickly and stopped the village chief.
"You...are here," the village chief said aggrievedly, "Is there something wrong?"
"Village chief, I caught a few fish, some of which were quite fierce. I felt it was not safe to keep them with other fish. So I thought of borrowing a bucket from you to raise the fish. I will return it to you after I sell the fish." Ying Yuanxing said.
The village chief was silent for a while, then pointed to a large water tank in the yard and said, "If you can move it, I'll give it to you."
No matter what you borrow, you have to pay it back. The village chief really doesn't want to have too much contact with Ying Yuanxing.
The water tank was given to him!
Ying Yuanxing glanced at the large water tank, somewhat surprised. He subconsciously clicked on the favorability list and found that the village chief's favorability didn't seem to have changed. However, with this level of favorability, he could receive a gift from the village chief. If he could improve his favorability, would the village chief's family...
Ying Yuanxing was actually coveting the house, mainly because the village chief's house was in a good location and quite close to the river. In case he didn't want to go back to the farm to rest at night, resting at the village chief's house would be a good choice, and it would also save him the time of leaving the farm.
The village chief had no idea that his generosity would make Ying Yuanxing even greedier.
Ying Yuanxing originally wanted to eat for free, but he was too embarrassed to ask for a water jar for free. However, Ying Yuanxing noticed that there was no food on the village chief's table, but it was already time for dinner.
"Village chief, your family hasn't prepared the meal yet? Otherwise, wait for me. I'll go catch some fish and use this to make a meal. It can be regarded as my return gift."
Ying Yuanxing couldn't give any other gifts in return, but a few fish would be fine.
The village chief's face was stiff. Who would be willing to eat weird food every day? In his opinion, Ying Yuanxing said this just to get a free meal. Just as he was about to say something, his wife came out and whispered, "There's a kid missing outside. They said he might have been lost in our village. I want you to help find him."
The village chief was surprised and showed an embarrassment on his face. Ying Yuanxing immediately understood that the village chief probably didn't have time to greet him, so he said goodbye and left.
