Chapter 143 The Villagers
"This kind of fat fish is easy to take the bait. You just need to put it on a rock on the shore, and you can catch it with confidence. I will handle the rest." Ye Chen said , Then he stood up, ready to slaughter the fat fish.

Ye Chen walked to the hook, grabbed the fat fish with his hand, and was about to throw the fish onto a rock on the shore.

With this grasp, Ye Chen felt a powerful force coming from his hand. Ye Chen's palm couldn't hold the fat fish steadily. slipped off.

"What's going on?" Ye Chen looked at the fish in his hand suspiciously.

This fat fish weighed about [-] jin. It sank in the water for half a minute, but it didn't float up, but continued to sink and float in the river.

Ye Chen put the fat fish back into the fish basket, and put the fish basket on the bank. The fat fish was still struggling in the river.

"This fish is too heavy, I can't lift it at all." Ye Chen smiled wryly, the weight of this fish was too big, he couldn't lift it at all, and he still felt a faint pain in his arm, probably It was because of too much force just now that my arm was a little numb.

Ye Chen took the fishing rod away from the shore, and then pulled it hard. The fat fish was still struggling in the water, and Ye Chen felt his arm hurt more and more.

Ye Chen felt that his arm was about to break off, but the fish still refused to come up, this fat fish was really strong enough, Ye Chen almost couldn't catch it.

"Ning Ci, help me!" Ye Chen shouted to Ning Ci.

Ning Ci got up from the ground, then ran to Ye Chen and helped Ye Chen carry the fishing rod.

Ye Chen handed the fishing rod to Ning Ci, and Ning Ci held the fishing rod high. The hook was only [-] to [-] centimeters high from the river surface. With all his strength, he threw the hook into the river. An arc was drawn in the air, and then it fell into the river.

"Slap!"

The fishhook fell heavily on the water, splashing a splash of water.

"Oh!" Ning Ci exclaimed, and the whole fish fell into the river, and the fishing line was washed away by the water.

"What should I do?" Ning Ci asked in a panic.

Ye Chen didn't know what to do. If such a heavy fish were thrown on the shore, it would probably take less than a second for the fish to tear all his clothes.

"Ning Ci, forget it, it's better not to waste food. If such a heavy fish is thrown into the river, it may sink to the bottom of the river within a while." Ye Chen said.

"No, since it's already here, I must get it up!" Neji said, throwing the fishing rod into the river.

Ye Chen hurriedly stopped him, and said: "Ning Ci, although this fish is heavy, we don't lack for it to eat. If you kill it, you will have to fish it again if you want to eat it. If you If you don’t want to go into the water to fish it now, then I will throw it into the river first.”

"That's not okay, you threw it away, how can I eat it?" Ning Ci hastily stopped Ye Chen from throwing this fish away, a smirk hung on the corner of his mouth, "Ye Chen , you put the fish to me, I make it into grilled fish, you try it."

"Grilled fish? Can this kind of fish be made into grilled fish?" Ye Chen frowned. The meat of this kind of fish is extremely tender, and it also has a strong fishy smell. Most people will definitely not like to eat it, not to mention that the meat of this kind of fish is also very crispy. Tender, if you cut it with a knife, it may even shatter the bones.

"Stop talking, let me put it on the shore first." Neji threw the fish to the shore without any explanation.

Ning Ci put the fish on the shore, then took out a short knife from his backpack, put the fish on the hook, then stabbed the short knife into the fish's body, and swiped the fish's body vigorously, Trying to pull the fish off the hook.

The skin of the fish was very thin, and it was a fat fish. After being stabbed by Ning Ci with a short knife, the fish became limp and motionless, without even the slightest resistance.

"Okay, put it down, let me see." Ye Chen said, and then took off the hook.

"Ye Chen, wait a minute. I'll go pick up some dry firewood and come back. We'll dispose of the fish." Ning Ci said, and then ran into the depths of the woods.

Ye Chen glanced at Ning Ci, then squatted on the bank to watch the fish.

Ye Chen was waiting for Ning Ci to pick up the firewood, but he couldn't wait for Ning Ci after waiting for a long time, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Ning Ci is a very careful person, Ye Chen believes that Ning Ci will never leave him and run to collect firewood by himself, but Ning Ci has been away for so long and hasn't come back, which makes him suspicious.

Could it be that something happened to Ning Ci?
"Ye Chen, I'll be back after I finish collecting firewood." Ning Ci suddenly shouted from deep in the woods.

Hearing Ning Ci's voice, Ye Chen felt a little relieved, as long as Ning Ci is still alive, as long as Ning Ci is still alive, he is not afraid that he will not come back.

However, this situation didn't last long, and several black shadows rushed towards this side quickly. They came out of the woods, all holding sticks in their hands, and looked at Ye Chen and Ning Ci vigilantly. .

"Ning Ci, let's go!" Ye Chen said quickly, then stood up, ready to leave with Ning Ci.

Ning Ci nodded, and quickly left with Ye Chen.

"Hey, stop, give us back the fish!" The black shadows quickly chased after them, yelling loudly, apparently believing that Ye Chen and Ning Ci had stolen their fish.

"We didn't steal your fish, it was picked up by Ning Ci." Ye Chen responded, and then dragged Ning Ci forward to escape.

Ning Ci knew from Ye Chen's tone that they had annoyed them, and quickly persuaded: "Ye Chen, let's run, these people are bandits nearby, we can't fight them!"

"What about bandits?" Ye Chen snorted coldly, "If they dare to come here to make trouble, they must pay the price!"

Ning Ci stopped persuading him and could only walk forward quickly. At this time, he just needs to escape from here. If Ye Chen said he wanted to avenge him, he would definitely do it.

"Stop, both of you!" A black figure quickly rushed behind Ye Chen and Ning Ci.

Ye Chen and Ning Ci turned around at the same time, casting their eyes on the black figure behind them.

This black figure is a boy, about seven or eight years old, short in stature, dark-skinned, with a pair of small eyes rolling around, looking like a cunning mouse.

"You two, how dare you steal our fish?" The boy glared at Ning Ci and Ye Chen.

Ye Chen frowned, the boy looked arrogant, as if they were villagers and had to follow his rules, this made Ye Chen a little displeased, they did steal their fish, but the fish They didn't steal it, but Ning Ci picked it up.
