Chapter 15: The Weirdness of Overthinking
The village chief immediately called the Yu family, but no one answered the phone after it rang, which made the village chief a little worried, and he subconsciously thought of Ying Yuanxing.
Could it be that during the time he was out buying groceries, Ying Yuanxing couldn't sit still and went out fishing, and then his worries came true?
Fortunately, the village chief didn't think too long before the phone was picked up. It was the eldest son of the Yu family, the father of Yu Yan and his two brothers.
"Village Chief Liu, I lost two more..."
"Boss Yu, your third child..."
The voices spoke at the same time, and then stopped.
"Have you seen the third brother?"
"Two more lost?"
After a while of confusion, both sides finally explained what happened. It turned out that in the process of looking for someone, the eldest brother Yu looked for help everywhere, while the second and third brothers of the Yu family tried their own ways. As a result, the third brother disappeared while they were looking. When the second brother found out about this, he immediately went to look for the third brother Yu, but he was missing again.
The village chief scratched his head, wondering if his guess had come true. At the same time, he was glad that he had made the call quickly enough, otherwise if the head of the Yu family had also been captured by Ying Yuanxing, he would not be able to collect his money.
"You mean, my second and third sons were captured by that big weirdo?" Boss Yu said after a moment of silence.
"I only saw Yu Lao San being fished out. As for whether your second son was caught by Ying Yuanxing, I dare not say. After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes." The village chief didn't dare to agree and explained.
Although the village chief said so, but think about it, his three sons were most likely lured away by Ying Yuanxing, and the same happened to his third brother, so the second brother probably repeated the same mistake.
The village chief listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, fearing that Boss Yu would fall into the trap in a fit of impulse, so he quickly said, "Prepare the ghost coins now. He will bring the fish to the market to sell in three days. You should be able to redeem it with the money."
Boss Yu gritted his teeth, knowing that now was not the time to act impulsively, and nodded. Of course, he also heard the hint from the village chief and said that he would give him the money from the village chief immediately.
The two weirdos both thought that Ying Yuanxing had lured away all of Yu's family members, but they didn't know that Ying Yuanxing was actually taking the blame for someone else.
But when you really think about it, Ying Yuanxing is not completely innocent.
Not long after Ying Yuanxing put the two fish at the door of Li An's house, Li An came back and saw the two fish as soon as he came out of the water.
The fish was normal, but what was unusual was the smell on the fish. It was clearly the fishing rod he had cursed. He should never be able to catch any fish, but...
Looking at the two fresh fish, Li An opened the door of the fishing tackle shop for the first time, glanced at the equipment in the store, took out the most ordinary fishing rod, cursed the fishing rod, then stood in a familiar position and swung.
The curse was very effective. Li An stood there for a long time but no fish was caught.
But soon, the fishing rod suddenly shook, and a strange fish was hooked. Before, Li An would not fish for it, but now, looking at the two fish released by Ying Yuanxing, Li An still pulled the other one up.
Yu Lao Er was a little excited when he was pulled up. In his opinion, he had found clues to the disappearance of his nephew and brother. As for whether the strange thing that caught him would be so strong that he could not resist, Yu Lao Er felt that he was quite strong and should not be completely powerless to fight back.
However, when he saw Li An, Yu Laoer froze. He knew few weird people in Taoxi Village, and Li An was one of them. Of course, he was the only one who knew the other person, and the other person did not know him.
Yu Laoer was about to explain something when Li An glanced at him indifferently with some disgust in his eyes. Yu Laoer remembered some rumors about Li An and suddenly felt relieved. He prepared to be thrown into the water.
But Li An looked up at the house not far away, hesitated for a second, and then took Yu Laoer off the fishing hook.
Yu Laoer was confused. This was not the same as what he knew. Thinking about his nephew and brother who might have been lured away by Li An, Yu Laoer did not resist immediately. Then he could no longer resist and could only watch himself being thrown aside.
Li An continued fishing, but unfortunately the cursed fishing rod was very effective. Even though the eldest son of the Yu family found some traces, he did not dare to follow the traces because of the reminder from the village chief. After fishing for a while, Li An still caught nothing.
It got dark quickly. Li An looked down at the only strange fish he had caught and sighed silently.
Yu Laoer didn't understand what was going on. He saw Li An pick him up, put him in front of the fishing tackle shop, and then he went back into the water and disappeared.
Seeing Li An disappear, Yu Laoer breathed a sigh of relief. After all, following a big monster, he felt like a snack in its mouth. Although the monster didn't eat dried fish, who knew if he would be the first one.
But soon, Yu Laoer came to his senses. He was caught by Li An just to follow his nephew and brother. Now Li An put him down and left. Where could he find them?
Moreover, Yu Laoer tried to break free from the restraints imposed by Li An, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free. He could only roll around on the spot, covered in sand, but unable to move a single step towards the river.
Yu Lao Er suddenly wondered if he would be trapped here forever. It would be fine if his elder brother could find him, but if not...
Yu Laoer shuddered. Even if the other person was a familiar friend, Yu Laoer didn't dare to say that the other person could really resist the desire to devour him. If some other weird creature really saw him, the result could be imagined.
Therefore, in order to avoid becoming another weird meal, Yu Laoer can only continue to work hard to break free from the restraints.
Ying Yuanxing had dinner at the village chief's house. It was not too late and he still had time to go fishing. The most important thing was to use up the excess energy, so he returned to the river with his fishing rod.
As soon as he came over, Ying Yuanxing heard a slight sound. He subconsciously looked towards the location of the sound and found that it was the place where he had just put the fish, but the sound was not made by his fish, but by another new fish.
Ying Yuanxing walked over, took a closer look, and was delighted. Wasn’t this the bully fish he had caught before? Someone had caught another one.
But why would the other party put it here?
Ying Yuanxing looked around and found that the two fish he had released earlier were gone, and there were no animal footprints nearby. Could it be that someone took the two fish away and left this fish as a replacement?
In that case, Ying Yuanxing didn't hesitate and directly grabbed the fish and stuffed it into his backpack. After all, they were of the same species and could fit into one grid.
Before Yu Laoer, who was stuffed into the backpack, had time to think about what was going on, he saw another familiar-looking fish.
"Third brother?" Yu Laoer blurted out.
"Second brother!" After being captured, Yu Laosan had been thinking about how to escape. However, after staying in the backpack compartment for so long, he found that this was a different space and he couldn't escape at all. Just as he was thinking about what to do, he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and found that his second brother had also been captured.
The two brothers looked at each other, and after some communication, they understood what had happened to each other.
"So, now only the eldest brother is outside." Yu Lao San said after a moment of silence.
"As long as Big Brother hasn't gotten into trouble, that should be the case." Yu Lao Er replied, "Big Brother shouldn't be too impulsive."
Yu Laoer thought that the fisherman who picked him up was lucky, but after listening to what Yu Laosan said, he realized that the situation was not as he thought. Thinking of the fishing rod in Ying Yuanxing's hand, Yu Laoer became a little worried.
The two brothers became worried and didn't know how long they waited until they were suddenly taken out and fell into the water tank. No new fish came in, so they felt a little relieved. The eldest brother should not have been caught. This was really great.
This was not the only surprise. Soon, the two brothers saw three familiar nephews being put into the water tank by Ying Yuanxing.
"Second uncle, third uncle." Yu Yan didn't expect to see his two uncles on the farm. He was excited for a moment, but compared to his two younger brothers who rushed over excitedly, Yu Yan was still a little calmer. He quickly thought of a question: how did the two uncles appear here?
Thinking about how he was caught, Yu Yan quickly guessed the truth.
Yu Yan looked around and even couldn't help floating to the surface to look at Ying Yuanxing. He was afraid that Ying Yuanxing would take out his father as well, but fortunately, the fish Ying Yuanxing took out were all ordinary fish, not weird fish.
Yu Yan heaved a sigh of relief for some unknown reason.
After Ying Yuanxing released the fish, he turned around and saw Yu Yan floating on the water surface. He thought that Yu Yan was hungry, so he dug out some grass and threw it into the water tank.
Seeing Ying Yuanxing coming, the two uncles swam ahead of their three nephews. In case Ying Yuanxing was about to attack, they might try to resist. However, their kindness was not recognized by the three nephews at all, especially Yu Fei and Yu Ye. When they saw the grass Ying Yuanxing threw down, they spit out bubbles of cheers, then rushed over and started eating.
They had just eaten at noon, but they had never had a full meal in all these years. The little bit of grass at noon relieved some of their hunger, but it mostly stimulated their appetite.
Seeing the two small fish eating happily, although Ying Yuanxing only regarded the fish as commodities to be sold, he couldn't help but smile. He looked at the two big fish and thought about it, then scattered two handfuls of grass.
After feeding the fish, Ying Yuanxing continued to cut grass. However, considering that the fish liked grass so much, Ying Yuanxing left some grass from each clump, so that it could grow faster.
Ying Yuanxing just thought of it as something he was feeding, but Yu Fei and Yu Ye's crazy eating had another meaning in the eyes of his two uncles.
Once upon a time, there was a kind of weird food that quickly became popular in the weird world after it appeared. Many small weirds loved it very much. The small weirds that have survived to the present day mostly have a big weird behind them who dotes on them and are willing to pay for this weird food.
But not long after, someone discovered that there was something wrong with this strange food. It was made of some strange flesh and blood, and had pure strange energy. However, once you ate it, you would become addicted. You would feel uncomfortable if you didn't eat it for a day. Small monsters were controlled by this strange food, and many big monsters could not find a solution even if they knew something was wrong.
In the end, it was the weirdo who made the weird food that offended Tieban. The other party didn't care how many weirdos were involved behind him and directly killed him. Even the recipe for making the weird food disappeared completely, and the source was cut off in one fell swoop.
The two brothers directly stopped Yu Fei and Yu Ye from eating, and at the same time reminded Yu Yan that this strange food could not be eaten.
They were so hungry that they finally got to eat, but couldn't eat. It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling, and Yu Fei and Yu Ye couldn't help but show it on their faces, and this expression made the two uncles misunderstand them.
In their opinion, the two nephews had only been captured for more than a day and fed a few meals, but they had become so addicted. The power was even more terrifying than before.
Ying Yuanxing dared to feed his nephews such weird food. Maybe he caught them on purpose. So what did the other party want to do?
