"Old Ray, how is the harvest here?" One of the people who had been catching fish by the lake noticed the excited expressions on the faces of Priley and the others who were surrounding the deep pit. Feeling that it was strange, he walked over with his spear in hand.
Priley turned to look at him. His eyes fell on his basket. There were a few small fish gently bouncing: "Bien, the harvest is good."
Bien grinned. Just as he was about to say something, his gaze was suddenly attracted by the scene in the deep pit in front of him. He opened his mouth slightly and stood rooted to the ground. After a while, he turned to look at Priley with a face full of disbelief. "This, this was all done by you just now?"
"Did you do it last night?" Priley laughed.
The others also laughed. They were particularly excited. At first they were worried that they wouldn't be able to catch anything with shovels. But this novel way of hunting gave them unexpected surprises. The fish in the pit was enough for them to live for many days. Dudian wanted to catch another net. They felt unprecedented happiness and excitement.
"Oh my god!" Bean's eyes widened as he exclaimed.
The people who were fishing by the lake in the distance heard the commotion and walked over curiously. Soon, a series of exclamations rang out. All the people who were fishing opened their eyes wide and were tongue-tied.
Dudian frowned as he saw the blue fish struggling in the net. He didn't expect the fish to be so fierce. They could persist for so long even if they were dehydrated. He looked at Priley: "Tell everyone to open a hole in the back of the net and prepare to collect the fish. Put them in the mud and be careful not to be bitten."
At the moment when Dudian spoke, everyone pricked up their ears to listen. Dudian didn't wait for Priley to agree. Someone called out: "I'll do it!"
"I'll do it too!"
"Count me in."
Priley laughed as he saw everyone's enthusiasm. He immediately assigned them to go behind the deep pit net. Due to the low terrain, the fish slipped out of the net and fell into the mud below as soon as the gap was opened.
Several people stood in the mud and scooped up the fish with shovels. They threw them to the side of the shore.
The others waited at the edge of the pit and immediately swatted or knocked out the fish that were thrown up. Then, they put the fish into bags and baskets.
A few people at the side saw them collecting the fish wantonly and were extremely envious. They felt like a piece of delicious food was exuding a tempting fragrance in front of them. Some of them also bent down to pick up the fish with their baskets.
Noticing that a few of the fish-catchers were also picking up the fish, Priley shouted, "You guys, didn't we agree earlier that you could catch your fish and we'd catch ours? Why are you picking up our fish?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the others who were working hard also noticed this and immediately shouted, "Yes!"
"What are you doing? Why are you picking up our fish?"
"We dug this hole and caught the fish. Isn't it inappropriate for you to pick them up?"
The people picking up the fish felt embarrassed when they heard their protests and unkind gazes. One of them said, "There are so many fish. You can't fit them all. We all came out together. Why do you have to do this?"
"What do you mean we can't fit it? Who said we can't fit it? "someone immediately said angrily.
Although the people present knew each other and could be regarded as acquaintances, but in the face of food they couldn't speak.
The people who were picking up the fish knew that they were in the wrong, but it was hard for them to watch helplessly as they couldn't get a single one of the fish. The middle-aged man who had tried to persuade Priley earlier said, "Old Ley, we're out hunting. You can't be so heartless. There are so many fish, and you're not giving us a single one. Isn't that too much?"
Priley's eyebrows twitched as he heard the words: "I told you to bring a shovel. Did you bring it? We were digging the soil and you were picking up the fish. If we didn't catch a single fish, would you share the fish with us?! "
The middle-aged man was rendered speechless by his words.
Dean saw that they were about to quarrel so he immediately came out and called out, "Old Lei."
Everyone saw him speak and immediately looked at him.
"Let them take the fish. We are all from the same village. There is no need to divide the fish." Dean said generously.
Priley was a bit unwilling: "But they didn't listen to you and talked about you behind your back. They didn't put any effort to catch the fish …"
Dean slightly raised his hand to stop him: "Life is not easy. Give me face and give them my share. I can't eat so much anyway."
"How can that be!" Priley shouted as he heard that Dean was going to give up his share.
The people who were picking the fish didn't expect that Dean would speak for them. Moreover he wanted to give up his share. They couldn't help but feel grateful but also ashamed and remorseful.
"Old Lei." Dean looked at Priley.
Priley saw that Dean was so determined. He sighed in his heart: "Since you have spoken, as long as no one has any opinion then let them have their share!"
"I have no opinion."
"I have no opinion either. These fish are Mr Dean's idea. Mr Dean can divide it to whoever he wants."
"Would you agree if Mr Dean said that he wouldn't divide it to you?"
"I …"
The others laughed as they heard the funny words. The atmosphere suddenly eased.
"Hurry up and fill the fish." Dean said.
Everyone knew that time was of the essence, so they clenched their teeth and worked hard. Those who were poaching the fish also helped out. Only when they were poaching the fish did they realize that the small baskets they brought were too small and could not hold much at all. Before they came, they thought that if they could fill one basket, it would be a great harvest. But now, it seemed that compared to Priley and the others who brought large bags, it was nothing.
Many of them regretted their previous shortsightedness.
It didn't take long for the fish to be thrown out of the deep pit. Dean looked at the time and ordered Priley to re-set up the fishing net. Then he dug the edge of the lake. The water rushed in along with a large number of blue fish.
Everyone was secretly excited as they collected the small fish on the shore and looked at the shoals of fish that kept pouring into the fishing net.
The people who were picking the fish finally knew why they were able to catch so many fish. Compared to them picking the fish one by one, this fishing method was simply looting.
Dean looked at the lake in front of him, paying attention to the appearance of the terrifying fish. However, when the net was filled with fish again, the terrifying fish still did not appear. His heart was relieved. This way, it would save him the trouble to do it himself.
In the blink of an eye, the hunting time was coming to an end. Dean led everyone back. Everyone was carrying a full bag and fish basket. More than a dozen people were carrying the fish in the fishing net. The harvest was amazing.
Back in the canyon, Priley knocked on the rock and everyone returned to the tunnel.
The two barren generals were surprised to see the harvest. They couldn't help but look at Dean. They knew that such a terrifying harvest should be related to the outsider. After all, they had seen Priley leading the team to catch fish countless times. But they had never seen such a huge harvest.
Although the fish was very heavy, the atmosphere of the team was very happy. After entering the tunnel, one of them couldn't help but hum a song. The others heard the tune and sang together.
In this way, they sang and sang back to the village.
All the harvested fish were piled up in the square at the entrance of the village. Some children who were playing nearby were shocked when they saw it.
The news quickly spread throughout the village and attracted a lot of people to watch.
Dean saw the excited expressions of these people and smiled in his heart. This food didn't have much value for him. But it was the best tool to bring the relationship with the residents here closer.
He felt that if he could catch a few more fish, he would soon become the existence of the people here. At that time, it would be very convenient for him to do anything.
"Old Lei, count the number of fish." Dudian said.
Priley looked at the amazed and envious eyes of the surrounding residents. He felt a kind of pride and honor. After hearing Dean's command, he felt a sense of enjoyment. He immediately ordered a few people to pour out the fish and began to count.
In the process of counting, two groups of people came from behind the tunnel. It was the two groups of people who went out with them to hunt.
One of them was carrying a three-meter-tall monster that looked like a wild boar, humming a tune as it walked over.
"Hey, Old Lei?" The middle-aged man who greeted Priley when he was sleeping in the tunnel pushed away the crowd. He saw Priley but didn't say anything. His eyes were attracted by the pile of fish in the open space. He couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.
Priley heard the shout and turned to see him: "Jesse, you are back. Not bad. The harvest this time is so big."
Jesse recovered and couldn't help but stare at him: "Are you sarcastic? Did you catch all the fish in the lake? So many?"
Priley laughed: "If we really fished them all out then there wouldn't be enough here."
Jesse rolled his eyes as he looked around the square. He saw Dean's figure: "Old Ray, is this outsider behind all of this?"
Priley snapped: "Don't call me an outsider. This is my benefactor, Mr. Dean."
Jesse slightly curled his lips as he looked at the pile of fish on the ground. He was envious but he knew that it was useless to look at it. He waved: "Let's go and divide the fish."
It didn't take long for the number of fish to be counted. There was a total of more than 1,800 fish. Priley gave 500 fish to Dean, but Dean refused. He proposed to hold a fish banquet in the evening and invite the whole village to taste it since it was a big harvest today.
Priley heard that the whole village was invited to taste the fish. His heart was reluctant, but since Dean had opened his mouth, he was embarrassed to refuse. Moreover, he had learned Dean's method. In the future, when he went out to fish, he would have a big harvest.
Metal Temple.
After Amelie reported to the Great Divine Priest, she pouted and said, "This person is quite powerful. He didn't use any martial arts at all, but he caught so many fish. I wanted to take this opportunity to see what he is capable of, but I didn't see anything."
"I saw a lot." The great priest slowly said: "He is very smart and has an intention towards our village."
"Smart is right. Sister, are you saying that he has an intention towards us?" Amelia was surprised.
The Great Priest said slowly, "He's just a passer-by. There's no need for him to be so kind to us. Amelie, you must remember that there's always a motive behind any unnecessary kindness. I don't think that a person like him, who dared to survive in such a dangerous place, would have the kindness of a child. So, he must have taken a fancy to us."
"What will he see in us, sister?" Amelie asked her obediently.
