Chapter 14 Discovery
Seeing Ying Yuanxing's back going away, the village chief heaved a sigh of relief and said to his wife with some relief: "Fortunately you reacted quickly and pretended that someone wanted to help me, otherwise Ying Yuanxing would come to our house for free meals again."
His wife looked at him without saying anything. The village chief was stunned. Could it be that someone really had lost his child in a strange way?
The situation now is different from before. In the past, if a kid was missing, the most likely possibility was that he got lost. But now, if a kid is missing, the most likely possibility is that he was eaten by other monsters.
"Whose child is missing?" Although the village chief felt that the situation might not be good, he still asked.
In the past, the village chief had no good feelings towards these cubs, but now, there are fewer and fewer living weird cubs, and many have disappeared. As for giving birth to some, some weirds are now in danger of dying, and will not consider consuming the weird energy to breed an offspring.
Even if there are capable monsters, they probably won't give birth. After all, no one knows how bad the situation in the weird world will deteriorate, and now everyone is trying to protect themselves.
There are so many weird cubs now, and if one dies, there will be one less. The village chief is willing to help if he can.
"Yu's." The old man said in a deep voice, "It is said that it was lost last night."
"It can't be those two little ones, are you sure they are lost and not dead?" The village chief still had some impression of the Yu family.
After all, the two little weirdos in the Yu family should have had their weird auras dissipated long ago. Fortunately, the Yu family had been feeding them all kinds of weird food, so they have managed to survive until now.
But now the strange energy is dissipating more and more, and the two little weirdos should not be able to hold on. The village chief doesn't want to help search for a long time, and finally find out that the two little weirdos died quietly due to lack of strange energy.
"Not only the two little ones, but the oldest child of the Yu family is missing as well." The village chief's wife shook her head.
The village chief nodded. Not to mention the two smaller ones, the big one was definitely lost. No wonder the Yu family came looking for him.
"The Yu family said that if we can find it, even if there is only one, we will give this number." The old man held up three fingers.
"Three thousand?"
"Thirty thousand."
The village chief gasped. It was obvious that the Yu family was really anxious. Thirty thousand ghost coins was a lot of money. If there was really a ghost who took these three kids away to eat, the ghost energy absorbed by buying ghost food with thirty thousand ghost coins would be much more than eating these three kids.
However, I have to let the other party know about this, otherwise it will be troublesome. I hope he doesn’t eat it too quickly, at least leave one.
"Then I'll help..." the village chief thought and said.
"Whether we can find it or not, I will give you 5,000 Gui coins."
This number is a little short of 30,000, but I just asked him for help. It is not bad to earn so many ghost coins, especially since Ying Yuanxing just ate some high-level ghost food yesterday, and the village chief urgently needs to make money to make up for the gap.
As the village chief of Taoxi Village, he still has certain powers. At least if others ask him about this matter, they may be attacked by annoyance and weirdness before they even say anything, but if he asks, the other party will at least listen carefully.
After searching house by house, the village chief found that he had never seen such a person before. He observed carefully and found that although these strange attitudes were not good, they did not seem to be lies.
Along the way, the village chief only went to the Yuan family in the back mountain, and did not go to the farm where Ying Yuanxing was. There was another family whose owner was away on a long trip, with only some pets at home, but the village chief remembered that the pets were injured by Yuan Xiu and were still recovering. With their strength, even if they wanted to catch the strange tonic, they should not be able to hurt the eldest cub of the Yu family.
Thinking about the Yu family, the entire family is like the weird ones in the water, in other words, they are also fish.
Could it be Li An?
The village chief doubted for a moment, but quickly rejected it. Li An liked fishing, but he liked to fish for ordinary fish, not little monsters. If these little monsters really bit his hook, Li An would throw them back into the river if he found them. There was no way they could get lost.
If it was the Yuan family, the village chief felt that the 20,000 ghost coins would not be of any use. As for Ying Yuanxing, the village chief never thought that it might be him who captured the two little monsters.
As for asking Ying Yuanxing, the village chief was actually a little reluctant, but thinking of the five thousand strange coins, the village chief decided to take a look from a distance to see if there were any clues on Ying Yuanxing.
He was definitely not afraid of Ying Yuanxing.
The village chief slowly walked to the river and saw Ying Yuanxing swinging his rod to fish. He was standing in the same position as Li An before. It seemed that this spot was really a good place for fishing. It was a pity that Li An was gone, otherwise we might have seen them fighting for this spot.
The village chief looked and found that Ying Yuanxing had a fish on his rod. Even though the village chief had no interest in fishing, he couldn't help but look at it curiously when he saw the fish.
Obviously, this fish was quite big, and the rod was bent badly, making it difficult for Ying Yuanxing to fish it. The village chief discovered a problem when he saw it, as Ying Yuanxing did not seem to use any supernatural power when fishing, and was just like an ordinary person.
Although he had tried it, the village chief still started to wonder after seeing this scene. Did he make a mistake before? Maybe Ying Yuanxing just had some other abilities and that was why he pretended to be so weird.
After all, the village chief had never seen a monster as big as Ying Yuanxing before, so his attitude was too peaceful.
As he watched, the village chief tentatively moved closer to Ying Yuanxing, and found that Ying Yuanxing was focusing on the fishing rod and not noticing him. The village chief's doubts deepened, and he slowly reached out his hand...
With a splash, a big fish was dragged out from the water by Ying Yuanxing.
Ying Yuanxing breathed a sigh of relief after catching the big fish. He suspected that it was some kind of high-level fish that ran away too fast and almost escaped several times. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise if it had really run away, he would not have caught the fish, and would have wasted his energy and time.
But why does this fish look a bit like the bully fish he caught yesterday? If it were any other fish, Ying Yuanxing might not have had any impression of it, but the three bully fish left a deep impression on him.
But he remembered that of the three fish, two were very easy to catch, with only one being difficult. Why was this one so difficult to catch? The same species, but the difference was so big.
Suddenly realizing there was someone behind him, Ying Yuanxing turned around.
"Village chief?" Seeing the village chief standing behind him blankly, Ying Yuanxing thought the village chief was busy and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The village chief was trembling with fear and wanted to run away. He didn't want you to be suspicious and worried. The big fish caught by Ying Yuanxing was not the third son of the Yu family. It was the strongest fish in the Yu family, and its strength was stronger than his.
Seeing Ying Yuanxing catch the third son of the Yu family in his hands like catching an ordinary fish, the village chief couldn't help but think of Ying Yuanxing's previous words. He wanted to catch a few fish and make a meal. Suddenly, he felt that he was only one step away from having an audience at the dinner table.
"No, nothing, I just want to ask you if you want to come to my house for dinner." The village chief stuttered. He was not sure whether Ying Yuanxing had noticed his little action just now. Maybe his current confusion and ignorance was a disguise, just to see how he would perform later.
If he didn't give something, the village chief was afraid that he would not be able to go back.
"Is it okay?" Ying Yuanxing was pleasantly surprised. He had thought he would not be able to get a free meal today, but he did not expect the village chief to take the initiative to invite him.
"Village chief, please take this fish. You gave me a tank at noon and let me eat. I can't eat and drink for free." Ying Yuanxing looked at the fish in his hand reluctantly. Although it was the same species, this fish was really big. It should be able to fetch a lot of money if sold, but now was not the time to be reluctant to part with it.
"No, no, your farm has just started and you need money. You have to sell the fish. How can I accept it?" The village chief refused again and again. Looking at the big fish that could not move in Ying Yuanxing's hand, his whole body tensed.
"Besides, my wife and I can't finish such a big fish." After the village chief said this, Ying Yuanxing put it down, but immediately took out a few smaller fish from his backpack.
"Village chief, this fish is not big, you can take it and eat it." Ying Yuanxing said with a smile.
The village chief took a look and found that it was just an ordinary fish. He also knew that it would be bad if he didn't accept it at this time, so he reluctantly accepted it.
The village chief was about to go home with Ying Yuanxing when he saw Ying Yuanxing suddenly take out two fish as if he remembered something. He put the fish where the fishing rod was before and bowed several times before following him.
Seeing the village chief's gaze, Ying Yuanxing grinned: "Village chief, didn't I say yesterday that I would send some sacrifices?"
This is really quick action!
The village chief inexplicably felt that Ying Yuanxing was reminding him that he must keep his word, and his word was - eat!
He took Ying Yuanxing home and sat down, urging his wife to cook. The village chief looked through the strange coins at home and used the money to buy vegetables with tears in his eyes. The remaining ingredients at home were definitely not as good as yesterday's. Even if today's meal could not surpass yesterday's, at least it could not be worse than yesterday's.
But the money was still not enough, and the village chief suddenly thought of a way to get money, the Yu family.
Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, it was very likely that the three little guys of the Yu family were caught by Ying Yuanxing. He just didn't know whether they were eaten.
However, the village chief went to the Yu family at this time not only to inform them of the news so that he could get the money, but also because he was worried that if he didn't tell them now, Ying Yuanxing would be addicted to fishing and all the members of the Yu family would be fished away by Ying Yuanxing in a short while.
After all, in just a short while, the third son of the Yu family was caught away. If he was really caught by Ying Yuanxing, where could he go to ask for money?
