Chapter 30 Before eight o'clock, Ying Yuanxing had already arrived at the agreed riverside. But the riverside was empty...
Before eight o'clock, Ying Yuanxing had already arrived at the agreed riverside.
But the riverside was empty. Apparently the person the village chief mentioned had not arrived yet. Ying Yuanxing glanced at his stamina bar and simply swung his rod to fish, using up his last bit of stamina.
Li An came out of the water, and the sound of flowing water was obvious.
Ying Yuanxing looked at Li An walking out of the water and was stunned for a moment, but soon he no longer cared about Li An because a fish had taken the bait. When he pulled the fish out of the water, Li An also came out of the water, holding a fishing rod in his hand that looked very familiar to Ying Yuanxing.
Ying Yuanxing looked down at his fishing rod. If the fishing rod was not still in his hand, he would have thought it was his own fishing rod.
But it didn't matter. The fishing rod fell into the water. Could it be that the other party was dragged into the water by a big fish while fishing? Seeing that his hands were empty, it was estimated that he didn't catch any fish. However, Ying Yuanxing still admired Li An's spirit of preferring to fall into the water rather than let the fish run away, because he couldn't do it.
"Brother, are you okay?" Seeing Li An's pale face, Ying Yuanxing asked with concern, and at the same time did not forget to comfort him, "It's okay if the fish ran away, we can fish again next time. As long as people are alive, everything is possible."
Seeing that Li An was silent, Ying Yuanxing thought for a moment and said, "For example, when I was fishing this afternoon, I almost caught a fish that was over three meters long and weighed over two hundred kilograms. Unfortunately, it was too strong and ran too fast, so it escaped."
Li An blinked and looked up at Ying Yuanxing. Ying Yuanxing thought that it was his own experience that comforted Li An.
Seeing that Li An was soaked, Ying Yuanxing blinked and took out a bonfire from his backpack. This was the tool he used for lighting at night. Except for the street lights at the entrance of the village, there were no street lights in other places. He often went out at night, so he had to have no luck without a lighting tool.
Moreover, this bonfire can not only provide lighting, but also keep warm and roast some food.
"Go over to the fire and warm yourself up to dry your clothes before you go back." Although he didn't ask, Ying Yuanxing felt that the other person must be a villager from Taoxi Village, otherwise there would be no outsiders coming to the village river to fish.
In all these days, Ying Yuanxing has not seen any outsiders except Boss Yu and Chen Yuan outside the village.
However, Ying Yuanxing also understood that this world was too chaotic. He was unwilling to go out unless it was necessary. Who knew what he would encounter outside.
Li An glanced at the bonfire lit by Ying Yuanxing, and then looked at Ying Yuanxing again: "The village chief said, you want a fishing tackle shop?"
Hearing Li An's question, Ying Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, and hesitantly asked: "Are you the heir to the fishing tackle shop owner that the village chief mentioned?"
Seeing Li An nod, Ying Yuanxing nodded quickly. Yes, he wanted to rent a fishing tackle shop.
Ying Yuanxing was about to speak when he realized that he didn't even know the other person's name, so he quickly asked.
"Li An." Li An replied.
This name seems a little familiar!
An idea flashed through Ying Yuanxing's mind, but he quickly put it aside and told Li An that he wanted to rent a fishing tackle shop.
Ying Yuanxing originally thought that this matter would take a long time to discuss, but Li An's attitude was very good, and the rent he proposed was not expensive, he just had a small request.
"I'm not feeling well, so I went back to the village to recuperate for a while. If the fishing tackle shop is open, I'll have no place to rest." Li An said.
Ying Yuanxing was just about to say that they could go to his farm to rest, but then he thought that there was only one house on the farm. It would be fine if Xuanying was allowed to live there, but if he asked more people to live there, there really wouldn't be enough room.
Moreover, he had just heard Yuan Xiu talk about an indiscriminate murder case during the day. Even though Li An looked pale and thin and easy to bully, and he also liked fishing, Ying Yuanxing could not let him live in the farm so at ease.
"How about this, when I ask the carpenter to renovate the fishing tackle shop tomorrow, I can build a small wooden house by the river. You can also come here to rest. You won't stay here for too long anyway." Ying Yuanxing said.
Li An didn't particularly want to live on the farm, but seeing Ying Yuanxing being so afraid of him, he became curious.
Although he didn't see Ying Yuanxing often, he knew how unscrupulous the other party was in the village. Some monsters avoided him and the other party didn't seem to be afraid of him, so why didn't he want to go to the farm?
However, no matter how strange it was, Li An still nodded and agreed to Ying Yuanxing's suggestion.
After walking for a distance, Ying Yuanxing looked back and saw that the lights of the fishing tackle shop were on, which was very conspicuous.
On the way back, Ying Yuanxing finally remembered why he felt the name Li An sounded familiar. Isn’t this the name of the dead fisherman?
Ying Yuanxing froze all over, thinking of Li An's wet appearance after coming out of the water, the similar fishing rod in his hand, and the coldness he felt when he approached the other person. His scalp went numb, and he suddenly felt that the lights in the fishing tackle shop seemed a little eerie.
Ying Yuanxing took two deep breaths and rushed towards the farm, still holding the lit bonfire in his hand for lighting. He didn't dare let the bonfire go out, otherwise it would be too creepy.
Seeing the light in the wooden house and Xuanying standing at the door waiting, Ying Yuanxing felt a little relieved. At the same time, he was somewhat fortunate that there was someone at home, otherwise he might just want to stay at the village chief's house for the night.
"What's wrong? Are you in danger?" It was the first time that Xuanying saw Ying Yuanxing so flustered.
"Yes, no, and neither is that..." Ying Yuanxing didn't know what to say. Although he had doubts, now that he had calmed down, he felt that it was not the case.
Because when Li An came out of the water, there was a sound of water, which clearly showed that he was a physical entity. As for Piao, it should not be a physical entity.
As for the same name, maybe it's just a coincidence.
"Nothing, just a little tired." Ying Yuanxing shook his head.
…
The next morning, Ying Yuanxing called Xuanying, and then took Yuan Xiu and Yuan Qing to the river. From a distance, he saw a figure standing in the place where he usually stood, fishing.
Ying Yuanxing glanced at the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. There was a shadow, so it seemed that he had misunderstood.
"Auntie, I just want to build a fishing tackle shop and put up a few merchandise cabinets." Ying Yuanxing pointed at the fishing tackle shop and said, "Look, what materials do you need?"
"By the way, I also want to build a small wooden house by the river for Li An to live in. How much wood will this take and how much will it cost?"
When Yuan Qing heard Ying Yuanxing's words, he looked at Ying Yuanxing with some admiration. Li An was not very famous in the village, but no monster dared to look down on him, because Li An had never lost in a battle with other monsters.
When she heard Ying Yuanxing say that he wanted to rent the fishing tackle shop, she didn't know that Li An had returned. If Li An hadn't returned, the fishing tackle shop would have been the other party's abandoned territory, and Ying Yuanxing could have used it whenever he wanted. But now that Li An was back, Ying Yuanxing actually wanted to rent it and even built a small wooden house for Li An to live in.
this……
For a moment, Yuan Qing didn't know whether to say that Ying Yuan Xingyong was being too nice, or that Li An had too good a temper.
"Mr. Li." Ying Yuanxing shouted when he saw Li An put away his fishing rod and caught nothing.
Li An turned around and walked over slowly.
"Mr. Li, this is Aunt Yuan, a very good carpenter. You can tell her whatever structure you want your wooden house to have, and it will be done quickly." Ying Yuanxing introduced.
“By the way, I also brought some boxes with me. I can help you pack up the things in the store, Mr. Li, so that you don’t have to have nowhere to put them.” Ying Yuanxing said as he took out a large box.
"No need." Li An shook his head. "Mr. Ying, you are not running a fish food store. It would be a bit monotonous to have only a merchandise cabinet. There are only some fishing gear in the store. It would be better to leave it as decoration."
Ying Yuanxing originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how his product seemed to be just grass, with a few fish at most, which was indeed a bit monotonous, he agreed.
After following Li An into the fishing tackle shop, Ying Yuanxing was glad that he did not refuse. Otherwise, if Li An really put away the fishing tackle, he would not even know about its existence.
The old fishing rod in Ying Yuanxing's hand was fine once he got used to it, but when he encountered a powerful fish, he still couldn't catch it.
The fishing gear and fishing rods in the fishing tackle store are of various types and are definitely better than the old ones, but the prices are definitely not cheap.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the fishing rod with envy, but suppressed the urge to buy it. Regardless of the price, Li An might not be willing to sell it. After all, these fishing gear were the relics of the previous Li An. Since their relationship was still unfamiliar, he would definitely not be welcomed if he asked to buy the fishing gear.
You still have to build relationships.
Thinking of this, Ying Yuanxing quickly opened the favorability list to check. The first place in favorability was Xuanying, the second place was Yuan Xiu, followed by Aunt Yuan Qing, and then the village chief and the village chief's wife, but compared with the first three, their favorability was obviously much lower.
And Li An, the other party's name is really the same as the original fisherman, Ying Yuanxing sighed, and then looked at the favorability. The other party's favorability was actually half-hearted. For a stranger, this favorability was a bit outrageous.
Could it be because he asked Li An to roast a bonfire yesterday and the other party was touched?
Li An is too easy to trust and like people, which makes him easy to get hurt.
Ying Yuanxing was unconsciously a little distant from Li An because of what happened yesterday, but now, could someone who could like him so quickly be a bad person?
Ying Yuanxing's attitude changed obviously, which made Li An feel strange. Even though he was not very curious, he couldn't help but look at Ying Yuanxing twice more.
…
Ying Yuanxing was working hard to renovate the fishing tackle shop, while on the other side, Chen Yuan was working hard to attract customers.
The first thing Chen Yuan found was some weird things he was familiar with before. In his opinion, fine fish food is a good thing, although just like the name of the product, it may be some kind of bait and there will be certain risks after swallowing it, but such a good thing is worth the risk.
However, the process of attracting customers was not smooth. Some of the weird people who were very close to Chen Yuan were already dead when Chen Yuan went to their homes. The remaining weird aura in the house proved that they had disappeared for a long time. Some of them saw Chen Yuan coming to their homes, but no matter what he said, they refused to open the door. When Chen Yuan asked, he found out that they had been deceived by other weird people.
He finally found some monsters who were willing to listen to him and were tempted by the grass. However, when they heard that they had to go to Taoxi Village to buy the grass, they were unwilling to buy it.
In the end, Chen Yuan had no choice but to stop looking for the weird things that he was familiar with, and instead look for the weird things he had encountered before when he was looking for weird food.
These strange situations are somewhat similar to Chen Yuan's. They can still hold on, but the strangeness of their loved ones is about to dissipate, so they are looking for life-saving strange food everywhere.
They dare to go to places that ordinary weirdos dare not venture to, and they are willing to buy weird foods that ordinary weirdos are reluctant to buy. As long as it works, they are willing to try it.
Many weirdos will even try to cheat these weirdos for their weird coins. If the scam is done well, they can make a lot of weird coins, but if it is not done well and the scam is exposed, they will end up being swallowed up by a group of weirdos.
When they heard Chen Yuan say that there was some kind of strange food with pure strange energy, and there was no need to taste the effect of the grass, these strange creatures agreed to go with Chen Yuan.
The weirdos who were originally invited by Chen Yuan but were unwilling to go, when they saw that Chen Yuan could actually get such a large group of weirdos to follow him, greed took over.
After all, he had tasted the grass and knew it was a good thing, but the risk was too great. However, if there were so many weird things around, they could help share the risk, and maybe it wouldn't be so dangerous.
Chen Yuan had already pulled out nine weirdos, only one left to make ten. When he saw the other party coming, he hesitated for a moment, but his greed for the fine fish food got the upper hand, and he let the other party follow him.
After all, it is not easy to collect so many weird things. If you don’t want this weird thing, you don’t know how long it will take to find another one. The most important thing is that other weird things may not have the patience.
The group arrived at Taoxi Village in a strange hurry. Chen Yuan looked at the forest, thought for a moment, and shouted, "We are here to buy fine fish food. Please let us in."
After shouting three times in a row, Chen Yuan stepped into the woods. The other monsters followed Chen Yuan, and soon they walked out of the woods and arrived at the entrance of the village.
However, when he arrived at the village entrance, Chen Yuan realized that he was so excited to come to Taoxi Village that he actually forgot one thing: he didn't know where Ying Yuanxing sold his fine fish food.
Chen Yuan didn't move, so the other weirdos naturally didn't move either. They just waited for a while and found that Chen Yuan still didn't move.
Someone said strangely: "Chen Yuan, where can I buy the premium fish food you mentioned?"
"Chen Yuan, you are not lying to us, are you?"
Ten pairs of eyes were staring at Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, he might not be able to go back.
Chen Yuan was about to say something when he suddenly saw a signpost at the entrance of the village, which said that a fishing tackle shop was three hundred meters ahead.
"No, just follow this sign and you will get there." Chen Yuan pointed at the road sign ahead and walked straight over without waiting for the other weirdos to speak.
The other weirdos looked at each other, and the brutality just now disappeared, and they all followed Chen Yuan forward.
Only Guiyi, who was walking at the back, rolled his eyes. He had heard of the great name of Taoxi Village, but had not thought about it before. But now that he had come in, maybe he could get some benefits.
The most important thing is that, according to Chen Yuan, this fine fish food is sold by a strange person in Taoxi Village. Considering the effect of the fish food, the price is not expensive, but if you have the opportunity to get it for free, or learn it secretly, then you will really make a profit.
However, although he was excited, this strange creature did not dare to act rashly as it was its first time in Taoxi Village and followed the large group in front.
He didn't see that there seemed to be fog in the woods behind him, and a pair of eyes were staring at him.
When Chen Yuan and his friends arrived at the fishing tackle shop, Ying Yuanxing was arranging decorative fishing tackle in the shop.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Ying Yuanxing turned around with the fishing rod in his hand.
Chen Yuan's breath was choked, and he resisted the urge to retreat, but although he was able to hold it back, the other monsters all took a big step back in unison.
In Ying Yuanxing's view, what he was holding in his hand was a fishing rod, but in the eyes of other weird people, it was a murderous tool.
I don’t know how much weird aura is on it, and I can imagine how miserable the monster would be if it was caught.
The most terrifying thing was that Ying Yuanxing was holding a strange tool in his hand, and there were all kinds of used strange tools hanging on the wall. For these monsters, it was like entering a bloody weapons exhibition. Each weapon recorded a history of killings. They just took a step back instead of turning around and running, even if they had strong willpower.
The strange person who was left behind was startled, and all his thoughts disappeared. He just stood there obediently, with a frighteningly clear look in his eyes.
Ying Yuanxing put down his fishing rod, counted the number of people, and found that Chen Yuan actually brought ten people to him.
If each person buys a bottle of fish food, I can make five thousand.
And if these ten people can bring him new customers, even just five, that would be 25,000.
Thinking of this, Ying Yuanxing smiled and entertained them in a not very skillful manner.
Chen Yuan glanced at the fishing tackle shop and realized that those fishing tackles were not the items for sale. The items should be the fine fish food placed in the cabinet.
The cabinet was filled with twenty bottles of premium fish food. Chen Yuan couldn't take his eyes off them. When the other monsters noticed the premium fish food in the bottles, their eyes were also unconsciously attracted.
Even though the bottle blocked some of the strange energy, some of it still leaked out. As soon as they smelled it, they knew that what Chen Yuan said was definitely not a lie. This high-quality fish food could really make the strange energy dissipate.
"Boss, I want them all." A weird voice came out, and as soon as the words fell, it attracted the anger of other weird people.
If it weren't for Ying Yuanxing being nearby, this weird creature that was about to be beaten would be unrecognizable to its mother.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the other weird things, even though they knew it was unlikely, all expressed their desire to buy it all, and it would be best if all the high-quality fish food produced by Yingyuan Star could be given to them.
"Because production is limited, each person is limited to one bottle. If you want, just pay here." Although Ying Yuanxing wanted to sell unlimited quantities, if he let one person buy it all, he could only hope that the other person would come to buy, and he would not be able to attract other customers. In the long run, he would still lose money.
Moreover, looking at the expressions of these customers, Ying Yuanxing knew that they definitely wanted the hay. If one person bought it all, the other party might act as a scalper and resell the hay to make money, which was intolerable.
He hasn't made enough money yet, but he lets others make money with his products, so he will lose money.
Although the other weird ones were disappointed, they knew it was unlikely that the whole deal would be taken when they asked, so they immediately took a bottle of high-quality fish food and went to Ying Yuanxing to pay the bill.
After everyone had paid, Ying Yuanxing said, "Although there is a purchase limit, we still have promotions here."
Ying Yuanxing then talked about the new customer attraction activity, and then took out two bottles of premium fish food and handed them to Chen Yuan: "Mr. Chen, thank you for bringing ten new customers to the store. This is your prize."
Chen Yuan bought a bottle of premium fish food, plus the two bottles given by Ying Yuanxing, making three bottles in total.
No matter how calm Chen Yuan was, he couldn't control his emotions when he saw the fish food.
You know, ever since she ate the two-thirds of the fine fish food, Liang Yue has been able to move freely these days and looks a lot happier than before. However, the strange energy in Liang Yue's body can only support her movement for less than four days. If she doesn't replenish the strange energy, Liang Yue will have to lie back in bed and linger on like before.
And now, with these three bottles of strange food, Liang Yue won’t have to worry for half a month.
Even though he knew that after waiting for half a month, the number of customers on Ying Yuanxing's side would increase, and it would become difficult for him to buy high-quality fish food, Chen Yuan was still extremely happy at this moment.
The other weird creatures finally understood why Chen Yuan would drag them along for such a good thing. Although they also knew him, if they got good things like premium fish food, they would definitely keep the news a secret, hoping that the other weird creatures would not know about it.
Even if the purchase of weird food is limited and I can only buy one bottle, I will never let other weird people know about this good thing.
But if you attract five new customers to buy premium fish food, you can get a bottle for free, which is a huge temptation.
After buying the exquisite weird food, Chen Yuan didn't care about other weird things and walked out directly. He had to go back to deliver the fish food and let Liang Yue finish it quickly, otherwise he would not feel safe keeping the fish food on him.
Not only was he worried about other strange things, he was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. He would only feel at ease if he let Liang Yue eat it all in one go.
When other monsters saw Chen Yuan leaving, some of them wanted to follow him, but when they thought about the monsters waiting for help at home and Chen Yuan's strength, they still didn't dare to go.
They were afraid that they would not get the prize, so they gave away their share instead. No one knew if there was someone else behind the scenes.
Chen Yuan hurried home. When Liang Yue saw him come back, before she could even say anything, she saw the three bottles of fish food that Chen Yuan took out, and her eyes immediately couldn't move away.
"Ayue, eat it quickly. After eating these, you will be healthy for half a month." Chen Yuan said happily.
Is Liang Yue happy?
happy.
But seeing the fatigue on Chen Yuan's face, Liang Yue couldn't bear to eat it all.
"I'll eat half, and you eat half." Liang Yue said, opened the bottle and stuffed it into Chen Yuan's mouth. The meaning was very clear: if you don't eat it, I won't eat it either.
"Ayue, I didn't..." Before Chen Yuan could finish his words, Liang Yue had already grabbed his hand and spread it out. His palm was almost translucent. This was because the strange energy was being absorbed and could not keep up with the speed of its dissipation.
Once it reaches this point, the strange life will soon enter a countdown. Although the countdown time may be long or short, it is irreversible.
"I'll eat it." Chen Yuan didn't refuse anymore. He said in a low voice, then raised his head and ate the whole bottle of premium fish food.
Chen Yuan closed his eyes and felt the empty bottle in his hand being taken away, and then another bottle was stuffed in. He drank half of the bottle before Liang Yue picked up the bottle and drank it all.
The two of them were enjoying the warmth of the sun in eerie silence. Perhaps it was too warm, Chen Yuan and Liang Yue fell asleep without realizing it.
For the strange, sleeping is not actually necessary. It can even be said that they cannot enjoy the joy of sleeping. But this time, when Chen Yuan and Liang Yue woke up, they even thought in a trance that they had returned to the time when they were still human.
I haven't felt that kind of peaceful and happy feeling for a long time.
But soon, they all woke up. This awakening made them somewhat uncomfortable, but more of a surprise.
"Ayue, now that you're feeling better, let's go buy some premium fish food." Chen Yuan said. He didn't dare let Liang Yue go out before because she was too weak, but now, there is no problem for her to go out.
Liang Yue nodded, and Chen Yuan took her hurriedly to Taoxi Village. Before they entered the woods, they found that there were quite a lot of weirdos gathered here. Half of them were the weirdos he had brought before, and nine were the beloved of these weirdos. Obviously, he was not the only weirdo who wanted to buy another bottle.
