Rebirth of the times, a top-level boss joins the national team
Chapter 5: Eat Fish
The three of them acted tough in front of Tu Shan, but they didn't hide it at all in front of Ling Yang. They were all exhausted, their hands and feet were weak, and they really couldn't get ashore.
Ling Yang lifted the nearly 200-pound man ashore with one hand, with surprise in her eyes.
"Rumor has it that water ghosts are good at swimming, like leopards in the forest, ferocious and swift. How did you three, who can only doggy paddle, capture him?"
Xu Zhi was the most cheerful one, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of a female comrade who is very good at swimming, otherwise the three of us might have died in the water today.
This bastard dragged the three of us by himself. We had no ability to resist and were beaten up. Fortunately, no one was watching, otherwise we would have been so embarrassed.
That woman is really good at swimming. The water ghost was knocked unconscious in her hands before she could even make three moves. She also had her hands broken. Boss Ling, can you handle it?"
Ling Yang was curious, are there people with such abilities?
Looking around, I didn't see any female comrades. There was no one on the turbulent river.
Xu Zhi saw what Ling Yang was thinking and said with a smile: "She just dived into the water and left. Tsk, I'm so envious. The fish have to call her "big brother" in front of her." He Jiahuan patted his forehead and said: "Stop joking, take your people and go back quickly.
Ling Yang, come with us. We've caught the water ghost and are just waiting to get some clues out of him before we take action. We're short-handed and need your help."
Ling Yang nodded and suppressed her curiosity.
After Tu Shan dived into the water, she quickly walked away and stopped in a place where the water flow was relatively slow.
Under the influence of supernatural powers, one can ignore the pressure and lack of oxygen in the water and sink to the bottom of the water.
Looking at the big fat fish swimming happily among the water plants, Tu Shan's tears of joy flowed from the corners of her mouth.
He approached silently, selected a big black fish, and urged the water plants around it to quickly surround it. Then he quickly tightened the grip and strangled it tightly. The big black fish didn't even have time to struggle before it fell into Tu Shan's hands.
Tu Shan was so happy that she was ecstatic. The black fish weighed more than 20 kilograms and was almost as long as her.
He wrapped himself tightly with water plants before he could rush out of the water and onto the shore.
This fish is public property. No one cares about small fish and shrimps, but if someone sees a big fish, they will report it to her, so she has to hide it.
There was wild celery in the shallows nearby, and I picked a bunch of it.
I also found some old wild vegetables in the nearby woods, revived them, and took them home.
It was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon, and the afterglow was orange, lighting up half the sky.
Many people were coming in and out of the dilapidated courtyard. Some were returning from work, while others were about to go out to work.
When they met at the door, they saw Tu Sanmei coming back with a bundle of grass on her half-dry body, and they all moved away in disgust, wondering what she was up to.
Could it be that it has nothing to eat or drink and has started to eat grass?
"fishy smell?"
The courtyard was not big and the air flowed slowly. Wherever she walked, some smells wafted out.
It was no longer a foul odor, but a fishy one. The man with the tip of his nose twitched a few times and spoke in confusion.
The crowd stopped moving like cats smelling blood, and as the man's gaze moved, they all gathered around Tu Shan.
"fish?"
Tu Shan threw the fish into the yard, and the sound of it hitting the ground told people that it was quite heavy.
The crowd quickly gathered around and watched Tu Shan reach out to pull the water plants.
Tu Shan knew what these people were looking at, so she said calmly, "Yes, fish, a big black fish, over 20 kilograms."
The crowd was shocked.
"Wow, it's really a big black fish?"
"It's so big, it must be a spirit, right?"
"How long will this take?"
"It's still alive."
"I'm sure it will fetch a lot of money if I sell it."
Everyone's eyes sparkled with envy.
There are also those who are jealous and sour.
There are also those who are full of calculations.
But Tu Shan didn't wait for them to speak, and said first, "I can't finish this big fish by myself. I've caused you all a lot of trouble in the past and eaten a lot of your food, but I never gave anything in return. Today, I was lucky enough to catch a fish, so I'll treat everyone to a meal as a token of my appreciation."
"What's the matter?"
Those who were working did not leave, those who were calculating stopped thinking, and those who were hard of hearing moved closer, fearing that they had heard something wrong.
"Are you really going to treat us to fish?"
"Eat this fish?"
"Let us eat it all?"
"You won't just give us soup, will you?" It's okay to drink soup.
"Everyone please?"
Tu Shan raised her head, the only corner of her mouth exposed outside her bangs raised, and nodded: "Really, everyone in the yard will come together, eat the whole fish, eat the meat."
Aunt Wang looked suspicious: "Eat the food, the mouth is soft. After we eat, you won't ask me for money, right?"
Don’t even think about it, Tu Sanmei is not the kind of person who would do such a thing.
The crowd dispersed instantly, their faces full of vigilance, fearing that they would be blackmailed.
Tu Shan's mouth twitched. "No, I'll treat everyone to a meal. No money, no food, and no other things. This is to make up for what I owe you all these years. I won't ask you for anything again in the future."
No one believed Tu Sanmei's words, which were as smelly and useless as farts.
Tu Shan assured again: "The fish is here, you can eat it. If I cheat, you can just chase me away. I can't beat so many of you alone anyway. Even if Ling Yang comes, it's me who went back on my word, he can't blame you."
Everyone looked at Tu Shan carefully with scrutiny and questioning in their eyes, trying to determine the truthfulness of her words, and unexpectedly found something different.
Tu Sanmei has changed. She is no longer timid and gloomy. She can laugh and talk now. The few words she said just now were confident and well-organized, unlike before when she was completely speechless.
The big bangs hairstyle that hurts the eyes is inexplicably not so annoying anymore.
It smells like fish, not anything foul, huh? And a hint of grass?
They will also be treated to fish.
Could it be that he is upset about the divorce and wants them to help him reconcile?
Although they can eat someone's food, it is impossible to make peace.
Tu Shan had a smile on her face, but she felt helpless inside. No, she just wanted to pay back some debts.
Although the people in the yard are not kind-hearted living Bodhisattvas, they all have some sympathy for Tu Sanmei, which is kind.
Even if Ling Yang helped to pay it back, she still owed the debt.
In her past and present lives, she was not used to taking advantage of others, otherwise she would not have insisted on marrying Tu Liang to repay his kindness, so she had to repay him personally.
The important thing is that she had no pot or bowl, was starving, and wanted to eat something ready-made.
Seeing everyone's expressions of surprise, Tu Shan said, "It's such a big fish. If I eat it alone or sell it, I'm afraid of being reported. So let's eat it together. Everyone is responsible."
Yes, this reason is quite plausible.
The crowd's doubts faded a little.
Tu Shan continued, "Although Aunt Wang promised me to stay for the last three days, I was afraid of being thrown out in the middle of the night, so I tried to please everyone."
This reason is also acceptable.
Tu Shan: "Everyone knows that my family has nothing. If I want to stew fish, I have to rely on you."
This reason is very powerful.
Tu Shan: "I also got some wild vegetables and stewed them all together. I only want one bowl, and the rest can be shared among everyone."
Okay, what are you waiting for? Any hesitation would be disrespectful to the fish.
Several women with good cooking skills volunteered to take on the job of head chef, while the others helped out and ran errands.
Everyone also took the initiative to get things out, including stoves, big pots, firewood, seasonings, and side dishes.
The little kids were jumping around in the yard, shouting and yelling.
It is rare to see people working together and moving forward hand in hand in a peaceful scene.
Tu Shan secretly let out a breath, thinking that this meal would not be in vain.
