Chapter 25 Yu Family. Yu Fei and Yu Ye both sat at the table, looking forward to today's breakfast. Even though Yu Yan...
Yu family.
Yu Fei and Yu Ye were both sitting at the table, looking forward to today's breakfast. Even though Yu Yan didn't show it so obviously, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Is there nothing left?" Yu Lao Da leaned out from the kitchen, met the expectant gazes of the three brothers, then suddenly shrank back into the kitchen and turned to ask Yu Lao San.
"Brother, we finished eating the fish the day before yesterday." Yu Laosan said with a bitter face.
Of course, the reason why they ate it so quickly was because they found that the fish seemed to have a shelf life. The pure strange energy in the fish's body was slowly dissipating, and no matter what means they used, they could not stop this process, so they could only eat it quickly.
Because of this problem, all the weirdos in the Yu family had a full meal and enjoyed the joy of eating all you can, but they were happy at the time, but they are suffering now.
"How come there is no more grass? I remember we brought back a lot." Boss Yu frowned.
"Brother, the grass wasn't much, and, I was worried about Xiaofei the day before yesterday, so I gave him a lot to eat. He also ate some the day before yesterday..." Yu Lao Er told the time when they ate the grass, and Yu Lao Da fell silent.
"But Xiaofei and the others are waiting to eat. Look, even Yu Yan is waiting eagerly. What kind of meal should we serve out?" Boss Yu began to have a headache.
"Brother, why don't you cut some of my flesh? I've eaten some grass, so I think it will give me some flavor." Yu Lao San rolled up his sleeves and said, "After we finish eating, tell them that the grass is gone. Don't let them down now."
"What a stupid idea! It's just a meal. You can just not eat it." Yu Lao Da glared at Yu Lao San, rolled up his sleeves, and drove them both out of the kitchen.
Boss Yu hesitated for a moment, but still took out ordinary fish meat, cut off a piece of flesh and blood and threw it into the pot. The flesh and blood instantly turned into strange air and attached to the fish meat.
Boss Yu took a bite and confirmed that the fish meat really did have the scent of grass. In addition, the strange energy he squeezed out was pure enough. Although there was a slight difference, it could be mistaken for the real thing.
"The meat is ready." Boss Yu brought out the fish. The familiar aroma made the eyes of the three Yu Yan brothers light up at the same time.
When Yu Laosan smelled the fragrance, he looked at Yu Laoda in surprise. Didn’t eldest brother just say that he didn’t have it? Where did he find it again?
Yu Lao San didn't think much about it, but Yu Lao Er realized that something was wrong. The eldest brother would not lie. If he said there was nothing, then there really was nothing. How could there be something again in such a short time? Unless it was...
Yu Lao Er remembered the method Yu Lao San had mentioned, and stared at Yu Lao Da carefully. He noticed something was wrong. Yu Lao Da's aura had weakened a little, although it was very slight, but the other party was clearly not like this before.
"Brother!" Yu Lao Er stood up instantly, jumped in front of Yu Lao Da and stopped him.
"Brother, you must be hungry after cooking. Eat these first." Yu Laoer said word by word. He liked his nephews, but he couldn't devour his brother's flesh and blood just to avoid disappointing them. He couldn't do it.
Yu Yan noticed something was wrong, walked over, stared at the fish in the plate, and found the problem. There was too much weird aura on it. Combined with Yu Lao Er's words, Yu Yan came up with a guess.
"Dad, you can eat this fish." Yu Yan also spoke. Yu Fei and Yu Ye also realized that something was wrong and walked over. Although they did not notice Yu Yan's eyesight to find the problem with the fish, they also followed Yu Yan and started talking about it.
"Okay." If it was only Yu Er who asked, Yu Da would still not be able to accept it, but Yu Yan and the others also asked, Yu Da had no way to refuse, and could only eat back the flesh and blood he had just cut off bite by bite.
After breakfast, the eldest Yu and the second and third Yu brothers gathered together to discuss things. Yu Yan also brought his two younger brothers out. Yu Fei and Yu Ye couldn't help but ask what had happened just now. Yu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his guess, which received two gasps.
"Fortunately we didn't eat it." Yu Fei looked back carefully and said thankfully when he didn't see Boss Yu.
Yu Ye also nodded repeatedly. Perhaps if other monsters had the chance to devour the flesh and blood of the big monster, they would only hate the other party for not giving enough. However, the relationship between the father and son in the Yu family was very good. They were cruel to outsiders but cared for each other at home.
This is also the reason why Yu Fei and Yu Ye are still alive. If they were born in other families, they would have become food for their relatives long ago.
"Brother, don't worry. When I get back I will tell you that I don't want to eat grass and fish anymore and I won't let dad do this again," said Yu Fei.
"Brother, I can do it, too." Yu Ye also assured. Although he also wanted the grass, he also knew the importance of it.
Seeing the two younger brothers' sensible words, Yu Yan smiled and touched their heads, but he knew that these words might only comfort them temporarily, but as long as they could not get the pasture on Ying Yuanxing, the problem could not be solved.
Not only them, even he...
Yu Yan glanced at the translucent fingers and clenched his fists, not daring to let Yu Fei and Yu Ye find out.
Yu Yan tried to hide the abnormality of his body, but he didn't notice that his two younger brothers were looking at each other and also watching his eyes carefully.
…
"Can we reach the farm if we swim over here?" Yu Ye followed Yu Fei carefully.
The two of them sneaked out while Yu Yan wasn't paying attention. What they said to Yu Yan just now was the truth, but they also knew that the most critical problem had not been solved. Without absorbing enough strange energy, they would have difficulty surviving.
The easiest way to solve the problem now is to find Ying Yuanxing to buy grass, or to buy fish that have eaten grass.
They didn't know what Boss Yu and the others were thinking, and seeing that the adults were very worried about this, they decided to come out and solve it themselves.
Of course, it was also because they had only tasted the sweetness and had not suffered any hardship in the Ying family, and they felt that their bodies had improved after eating the grass, so they dared to take the risk and come out.
"Don't worry, it will definitely work. If it really doesn't work, we will just bite the hook and it will definitely be caught. Then we can ask Ying Yuanxing to buy grass." Yu Fei said affirmatively. After staying on the farm for a few days, Yu Fei didn't need to know too much about Ying Yuanxing's fishing skills. The most important thing was that there was a curse on the fishing rod, so there was no need to worry about biting the wrong hook.
The reason why Yu Fei thought this way was because Yu Lao Er was too embarrassed to say that he was lured by Li An. If he knew, he would not dare to be so sure.
The two little monsters swam forward quickly and soon arrived near the market. They found the market was unusually quiet. They were a little confused and didn't know what was going on, but they didn't care too much and continued to swim forward.
When I swam around a corner, I saw a weak little monster lying there dying, its tail splashing water and making a tapping sound.
Seeing that the other party was also in the shape of a fish, Yu Fei and Yu Ye didn't care and prepared to swim away.
After all, even if you swallow such a little monster, it will not have any effect, and you may even swallow the other party's impurities, which is not worth the loss. What's more, swallowing a little monster is not as good as eating grass on the farm.
But just as he was about to walk away, Yu Fei suddenly stopped, stared at the little weirdo, and said, "Don't you think he's pretty good-looking?"
Yu Ye didn't understand what was going on. He stared at the little weirdo and nodded. The other party's fish shape seemed to be better looking than theirs.
"Second brother, do you want to save him?" Yu Ye asked curiously, and at the same time a little confused. After all, in his opinion, Yu Fei was not so kind.
"You see, if we go to the farm, we can't just say we want to buy hay. It would be easier to say it if we give some gifts." Yu Fei said. He remembered this idea after he overheard the conversation between Boss Yu and him.
But Boss Yu was confused about what gift to give. Yu Fei remembered that Ying Yuanxing seemed to like beautiful things. Although this fish looked weak, it was beautiful, and that was enough.
Moreover, Yu Fei felt that he was doing a good thing. After all, given the current state of the fish, if it continued to stay here, it would either completely disintegrate or be eaten by some other hungry monster. It would be better for it to be given to Ying Yuanxing as a gift.
The pretty little fish opened his eyes and looked at the two chattering little monsters with a cold look, but he said nothing. He was busy taking care of himself, so how could he have the extra sympathy to care about other monsters.
After Yu Fei and Yu Ye finished talking, they swam towards the little fish. Just as they were about to catch it, a fishing net dropped from the sky and covered them tightly.
"My dear, you are really good at attracting little monsters!" A hoarse strange voice came from above. Yu Fei and Yu Ye looked up, and a pair of greedy eyes were staring at them, with green eyeballs.
Yu Fei felt a chill in his heart. He had heard from Boss Yu that when a weirdo devours other weirdos, it would also absorb some of the impurities in the other party's body. As more and more impurities were absorbed, not only would the weirdo's energy dissipate faster, but it would also cause the person to lose reason and become confused. The most obvious manifestation of this would be the eyeballs turning green.
The middle-aged weirdo didn't expect that the little monster he caught by accident was so competent as bait. It actually helped him catch two little monsters, and these two little monsters looked of really good quality.
The middle-aged weirdo used to be a small weirdo dealer, specializing in catching some small weirdos that were raised by other weirdos. These small weirdos have a lot of weird energy in their bodies and few impurities, so they can be sold at a good price. If he encountered some damaged ones that could not be sold, he could eat them himself or exchange them with other weirdos.
But if you catch too many small monsters, you will always run into problems. Some time ago, you caught a monster, but before you could send it out, the monster's family came to your house. Except for him, almost all the members of the team were wiped out. However, he was also injured, and the loss of monsters was huge. He had to eat some cheap monster blood food, which caused his thinking to become confused.
After realizing the problem, the middle-aged weirdo prepared to catch some small weirdos to eat. Coincidentally, he caught one and wanted to eat it immediately, but the other party really had no weird energy and there seemed to be a lot of impurities. When the middle-aged weirdo was hesitating, the other party said that he could help him lure the small weirdo into the bait, so the middle-aged weirdo let the other party try it.
He thought it would take some time before he could get anything, but he didn't expect his luck to be so good today. These two little monsters were obviously raised with great care. As long as he ate them, he could hold on for a while longer.
Maybe I can go to another world and devour the flesh and blood of real people.
The middle-aged weirdo was well-informed and naturally knew some rumors about the Blue Star world. There were no weirdos in the Blue Star world, so naturally there was no weird aura. Originally, the weirdos should have looked down on these blood foods, unless some weirdos had unique interests or humans broke in, otherwise they would not actively hunt humans.
But the situation in the weird world is getting worse and worse. Although the energy that humans can provide is not much, eating more will always be effective, and there are no impurities. Naturally, humans have become the target of some weird things.
However, if you want to go to another world, you can only rely on good luck and be sent out by the strange world.
However, the middle-aged weirdo also heard another piece of news. It was said that an organization had found a channel connecting the two worlds, which could transport some not-so-strong weirdos to the Blue Star world. However, it was not so easy to take that channel. In addition to the weird coins, one had to please the guards of the channel.
Before the release, he could still prepare some good gifts, but now...
The middle-aged weirdo looked at the two little weirdos in front of him. The more he looked, the more he felt that this was a good gift. The weird aura seemed pure and the impurities were acceptable. The gift was enough, but two little weirdos were still not enough. He still had to save up a little more.
Yu Fei just wanted to give the little fish as a gift, but now, the two brothers also became someone else's gifts.
However, this is also good news for Yu Fei. After all, if the middle-aged man hadn't thought of this strangely, they would have immediately become the other party's meal.
"Second brother, what should we do?" Yu Ye asked nervously in a low voice. As bait, they were also trapped beside the strange little fish and could not move easily.
"I, I left a letter for my eldest brother. They will definitely be able to find us." Yu Fei said in a low voice. Although he said so, he was not sure in his heart.
Yu Fei felt a little regretful. If he had known that the little fish was a bait, he should not have come over. If they had not fallen into the trap, it would not have been so easy for the middle-aged fish to catch them.
The middle-aged weirdo was some distance away, holding a fishing net in his hand. He didn't dare to get too close. The weird aura on him was erratic and would be too conspicuous if he got too close.
After waiting for a long time, the third weirdo didn't show up. The middle-aged weirdo was a little anxious. As far as he knew, shouldn't there be many weirdos in this market? Why couldn't he see any now?
Just as he was hesitating whether to change places, a bus in the distance drove towards this side, stopped quickly at the platform, and opened the door wide, explicitly and implicitly urging the passengers to get off quickly, which showed the other party's disgust.
The middle-aged weirdo quickly hid himself to avoid being discovered. The moment he saw Ying Yuanxing, he immediately showed a look of disappointment. In his opinion, Ying Yuanxing was just an ordinary weirdo with not much weird aura. Normally, he would be too lazy to catch him.
But now, he would just make up the numbers, if that doesn't work he would just eat them up or sell them off.
The middle-aged weirdo quickly signaled the baits to move in order to attract Ying Yuanxing's attention.
The splashing sound of the fish's tail carried a hint of temptation, attracting people to check it out.
However, Ying Yuanxing had no curiosity to look for the sound of water, but looked towards the market in shock. The last time he came, the market seemed very lively, but now it was empty, as if it had been abandoned.
Ying Yuanxing glanced at the calendar. He was not in the wrong place. The village chief had said before that there would be a small market at this time. Although there were not many people, it was no longer considered that there were not many people now. There were completely no people at all.
If there is no one, where will his fish find customers?
Ying Yuanxing was anxious. He had been fishing desperately for the past few days to sell fish this time. He brought all the fish he could, just so that he could buy something else after selling the fish and paying off the installment bill. Even if it was a little more expensive at the market, he would accept it. But now...
Wait, it seems like there is someone here!
Ying Yuanxing noticed a figure not far away and was overjoyed. With someone around, he could try to sell his fish. Moreover, the other party came over at this time, obviously wanting to buy something. Although he didn't know whether the other party wanted to buy fish, since he was here, why not buy some of his goods and leave.
Ying Yuanxing confidently stepped forward to sell: "Uncle, do you want to buy some of my fish? They are very fresh. Look, they are all alive."
Ying Yuanxing took out a lively fish. Ying Yuanxing didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In his opinion, everyone he met seemed to have his own backpack compartment, so there was nothing wrong with him doing this.
However, Ying Yuanxing only encountered powerful monsters. Even the not-so-strong Boss Yu was much stronger than ordinary monsters, so it was normal for him to have storage space.
But the middle-aged weirdo didn't have that. When he saw the live fish that Ying Yuanxing took out, he guessed that he had storage space on him. This was considered a relatively expensive tool for a weirdo, mainly because ordinary weirdos had no demand for this thing.
The fact that Ying Yuanxing can be brought out shows that he is not as ordinary as he appears to be. Maybe he has a big weird backer.
Normally, after realizing this, the middle-aged weirdo should have escaped, but his current situation couldn't be any worse. He had even thought about running away to the Blue Star World, and his greed suddenly arose.
If two little monsters may not be able to bribe the guards of the passage, then a storage space, especially a space that can store living things, will definitely be able to do it. Even if it is not given as a gift, the storage monster can be sold.
"How many fish do you have?" The middle-aged weirdo decided to grab a few and run away. Anyway, he came here suddenly, and he would leave after robbing the fish. He would not let the big weirdo behind Ying Yuanxing take action.
"I have a lot of fish. How many do you want?" Ying Yuanxing didn't expect the other party to speak so straightforwardly. Although he wanted to sell all the fish to him at once, he still asked.
"I want all of them, no matter how many you have." The middle-aged weirdo wanted to find out how big Ying Yuanxing's storage device was.
"Uncle, I have more than eighty fish, big and small, weighing more than three hundred and fifty kilograms in total. Do you want them all?" Ying Yuanxing asked.
The middle-aged man thought to himself that this magic tool was not small. He glanced at Ying Yuanxing unconsciously, trying to guess which one was the magic tool. But he still said, "I'll take them all. But I want to buy fish and release them. They are just a little bit ahead by the river. I'd like to trouble you to come with me so that I don't have to take the fish."
Ying Yuanxing had a storage device on him, and the middle-aged weirdo was worried that he might have other things on him that could fight back, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only let Ying Yuanxing fall into the trap he had prepared in advance and let the fishing net catch him.
Release the fish?
Ying Yuanxing didn't expect that the middle-aged weirdo bought the fish for this, and couldn't help looking him up and down. The material of the middle-aged weirdo's clothes seemed to be good, but a little tattered, as if he was originally wealthy, and then suddenly encountered a change of fortune. Maybe he wanted to accumulate some merits by releasing the fish so that he could make a comeback.
Ying Yuanxing really wanted to complain about something, but since the other party was his big customer, he was too embarrassed to say anything and just followed the strange middle-aged man towards the river.
Seeing that the two were getting closer and closer to the trap, the middle-aged weirdo became even more nervous, fearing that Ying Yuanxing would discover something was wrong.
Ying Yuanxing suddenly stopped, causing the middle-aged man to shudder, and asked unnaturally, "What's wrong?"
"Uncle, you haven't paid me yet." Ying Yuanxing said, "My fish is not too expensive for you. It's 21 kilograms. I'll give you the change. Just give me 7,000."
It's not that Ying Yuanxing insisted on asking for money at this time, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The other party took all the money without asking the price and said he wanted to release the fish. But if he didn't pay, the fish would all run away when released into the water. Then he wouldn't get any money and the fish would be gone. That would be a pure loss.
Especially the weird middle-aged man looked a little nervous, which made Ying Yuanxing feel that he had to ask for money first, otherwise what would he do if the other party played tricks on him.
As for why he temporarily raised the price, since he was going to release the animals, if he raised the price a bit, the merit the other party would get should be higher.
Seven thousand strange coins were not a lot for the middle-aged strange man before, but for him now, it can be said to be most of his fortune. However, seeing that Ying Yuanxing insisted on getting the money first before he was willing to release the fish, he gritted his teeth and gave the strange coins to Ying Yuanxing.
Ying Yuanxing counted carefully to make sure the number was correct, quickly put the fish into his backpack, then strode to the river, ready to release the fish he had caught.
As soon as he arrived at the river, Ying Yuanxing discovered three fish under the water. One fish was particularly beautiful, with a light blue body and fins that stretched out like a veil, and the other two fish...
This is not the bully fish he released before. It has not left yet. But why is it staying by the river? It doesn’t look in good condition. And the other three bigger fish are not there. Could it be that it got lost and didn’t return home?
Ying Yuanxing hesitated for a moment, but still bent down to scoop up the two bully fish. If he really wanted to protect the animals, then since he couldn't go back by himself, he might as well help.
Ying Yuanxing will not go out of his way to do good things, but when he encounters something that is within his ability and convenient, he is still willing to do it.
As for the beautiful little blue fish next to it, Ying Yuanxing went to catch it as well. Having fished so many times and raised fish in the pond, Ying Yuanxing could more or less tell the condition of the fish.
The two bully fish just looked a little lethargic, but to the little blue fish, the situation looked very dangerous. If he didn't rescue them, they would probably die here.
Yu Fei and Yu Ye were surprised but also a little worried when they saw Ying Yuanxing coming. Although the elders had said how powerful Ying Yuanxing was, they hadn't seen him. Besides, the middle-aged man's strange fishing net was indeed very powerful. If Ying Yuanxing was caught and eaten...
Then there will be no more grass in this world!
Yu Fei and Yu Ye wanted Ying Yuanxing to run away quickly, but they were all suppressed by the middle-aged man at this time. They couldn't say anything and just blew bubbles when they opened their mouths.
Their anxious looks caught the little blue fish's eye, causing him to feel a little curious. After all, the little blue fish had seen with his own eyes how indifferent these two little weirdos were. But now, they cared so much about another weirdo, which made it difficult for the little blue fish not to feel curious about Ying Yuanxing.
However, no matter how curious they were, they stopped when they saw the fishing net rushing towards Ying Yuanxing. After all, once Ying Yuanxing was caught in the fishing net, he would be no different from them, all prisoners.
The fishing net was spread out all over the place, covering Ying Yuanxing, with a residual fishy smell on it.
Seeing the middle-aged man holding the fishing net strangely with a morbidly excited smile on his face, Ying Yuanxing instantly realized that the other party was trying to rob him.
Although he had known for a long time that this world was dark, this was the first time that Ying Yuanxing faced darkness directly. Seeing Xuanying standing not far away, Ying Yuanxing sighed, well, this was also the second time.
