However, the fish that Ye Jingmo touched was a little different in shape, with a long, snake-like body and a cylindrical head.

From a distance, Jiang Li looked just like a real snake.

"What kind of fish is this? It doesn't look like an eel."

Jiang Li, looking completely unaccustomed to the world, leaned closer and asked Ye Jingmo curiously.

"eel."

Ye Jingmo said succinctly.

"Don't eels all live in the sea?"

She looked in disbelief.

"There are eels there too."

After Ye Jingmo's explanation, Jiang Li learned that eels are not only found in the sea, but also in rivers.

Jiang Li didn't care whether the eels were from the sea or the river; she wanted to eat eel rice.

"Brother Mo, how about we make eel rice when we get back?"

Jiang Li has been watching Bleach Elementary School Student lately and is craving the grilled eel rice bowl in the show.

Since Ye Jingmo had just caught an eel, he naturally had to satisfy his craving.

The group on the other side, seeing that Jiang Li and his three companions had only been there a short while and had already caught three fish in a row, had eyes that turned red with envy.

A man approached the leader.

"Brother Hui, look, they just arrived, and they've already served three fish in no time."

Our group of brothers searched for almost an hour before catching a fish, and it was skinny too.

Should we go and switch places with them?

Before he could finish speaking, Brother Hui slapped him hard across the face.

"Change what? Were our previous statements just empty words?"

Since it was agreed that it would be first-come, first-served, and we've taken this spot, it's not wrong for anyone to walk over there.

Yes, it's the apocalypse now. I gathered these brothers together just to make a living, not to bully others.

We're not like Sang Biao's gang. There's a bottom line to being a person; once something is said, it can't be taken back.

After being lectured by the boss, who was called Brother Hui, the man retreated with a sheepish smile.

"But you've reminded me that we can go and learn some techniques from them."

Hui thought for a moment and asked them to bring over the fish they had caught. He would go find Jiang Li and try to ask if there was any trick to it.

He had just seen Jiang Li teach Qin Yue a trick, and Qin Yue caught a fish.

Ye Jingmo noticed alertly that the group of people next door were walking over.

And it headed straight towards Jiang Li.

Ye Jingmo's eyes were sharp, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his aura was icy cold.

He stepped forward, shielding Jiang Li, who hadn't yet reacted, behind him.

"What do you want to do?"

Beneath the deep voice lay a chilling aura.

"I'm sorry, I apologize for my companion's rudeness just now."

This fish is an apology to you.

Hui Ge scratched his head and said with a simple and honest expression.

He was holding a fish about the size of his palm, intending to hand it to Ye Jingmo.

"We don't need it, you can take it back."

Jiang Li peeked out from behind Ye Jingmo and directly refused.

Sending something at this time is either suspicious or theft.

When Qin Yue and Qin Yu saw people gathering around, they immediately ran to Jiang Li's side.

"No, sister."

If you're unhappy, you can also say a few words to us.

It was all our fault.

Hui Ge disregarded all pride and spoke directly.

Jiang Li blinked, somewhat speechless. How could things be so different just now compared to now?

Has he been possessed?

"Just tell me what you want to do."

Ye Jingmo said coldly.

"Well... I'll be too embarrassed to ask."

We'd like to learn from you how to find fish.

Hui Ge began to speak somewhat haltingly, then immediately added,

"How about we share half of the fish we caught today with you?"

Jiang Li hooked her finger around Ye Jingmo's palm and drew some characters on it.

Ye Jingmo felt an itch in his palms, which then spread throughout his body, causing a tingling sensation.

Seeing that Ye Jingmo did not react, Jiang Li gave him a sharp look.

Ye Jingmo quietly hooked Jiang Li's fingers with his hand and slowly stroked them.

"If we don't hand it over to you, we can catch any fish in the reservoir."

The terms you've offered aren't attractive enough for us.

Ye Jingmo said indifferently.

Hui thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "We'll give you an extra duck egg."

His heart was bleeding; they had found these duck eggs not long ago in the mountains after a great deal of effort.

Jiang Li was delighted to hear this; there were even duck eggs! It seemed this group of people were quite wealthy.

"We want two."

She spoke without any hesitation, and it just so happened that each of their two groups got one.

"You guys are asking for too much. These duck eggs can be hatched, so it's like getting two ducks for free."

The people behind Hui couldn't help but shout.

"But who knows if that duck egg will hatch?"

Everything is still uncertain. Even if they hatch, they will need food to feed them.

With the drought so severe now, just finding food for it is a struggle.

Qin Yue stepped forward with her arms crossed, speaking up for Jiang Li.

"That's asking for too much; we can't do it."

Hui couldn't agree to this condition. Even if Jiang Li taught them how to catch fish, if they were unlucky and their catch was the same as before, those two duck eggs would be a complete loss.

He still had to think about the brothers in the gang.

"I see that you are sincere enough, so let's both sides compromise."

We still need two duck eggs, but you don't need to give us the fish you catch. We will guarantee you an income of five fish.

What do you think of this?

Jiang Li looked at Hui Ge with a beaming smile, her face full of sincerity.

Hui and his brothers exchanged glances, and he was somewhat tempted.

So he made up his mind and agreed to Jiang Li's conditions.

Even if the duck eggs hatch successfully, you will only get two ducklings, and it will take some time to feed them before they can eat meat.

This fishing trip will yield at least five fish, enough to feed you for a while.

Brother Hui ordered his men to quickly return to the stronghold, carefully preserve the two duck eggs, and then take them out.

Their gang's hideout wasn't far from the reservoir; it only took ten minutes to get there and back.

After receiving the two duck eggs, Jiang Li grinned.

When you get back, put the duck eggs into the hen's incubator, and they will hatch into ducklings.

I've heard that ducks have a very varied diet, and you can feed them fruit peels and vegetables from riverbanks.

While putting the duck eggs into my backpack, I sent them into my spatial storage.

Afterwards, Jiang Li began to carefully instruct Hui Ge and his group, explaining in detail the techniques of catching fish by slacking off.

She was afraid they wouldn't be able to learn, so she took them to practice in two caves.

Seeing that they had successfully caught two fish, Jiang Li felt relieved and let them catch their own.

By late afternoon, Hui and his gang had caught nearly 20 fish.

Hui Ge couldn't stop smiling.

He felt that the deal he made with Jiang Li was a really good deal.

When Jiang Li and the other three were about to leave, Brother Hui came over to see them off.

He also handed the four people his contact number, telling them they could call him if needed.
