Chapter 512: Sending Fish (Part )

"It's fish again."

Hua Xiaolan looked at the fish feast on the table and her face fell a little.

Hua Wuying sat down gracefully, stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit at the table: "There is nothing but fish here, what else can we eat if not fish?"

"Ha ha……"

Yuan Huai's father-in-law smiled and said, "This is what it means to live by the water. You definitely won't like it at first, but as time goes by, you'll get used to it."

His son Yuan Ye had already sat beside him, pouting and saying, "Okay, eat, Sister Witch."

Before Hua Xiaolan could say anything, Yuan Huai's face darkened, and he raised his hand and slapped his son hard on the back of the head: "How dare you talk like that!"

"That's what it is..."

Yuan Ye said aggrievedly: "She is a witch..."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating the fish.

Hua Xiaolan was not angry at all. She sat down next to Hua Wuying, holding her cheek with her hand, looking at Yuan Ye, and said softly: "You all know that I am a witch. You have offended me, and you still dare to eat?"

Yuan Ye was shocked when he heard this, and quickly spat out all the fish meat he had just eaten.

Seeing this, Yuan Huai became even angrier and raised his hand again: "Waste of fish! Waste of fish!"

Hua Xiaolan giggled with satisfaction.

Hua Wuying laughed helplessly: "Brother Yuan, Xiaolan won't poison you. If she poisons you, she will have to work hard to cure you... It's hard to go up the mountain to collect herbs, so she won't spend the extra effort."

"That's it..."

Hua Xiaolan responded, then suddenly turned her head and glared at him: "What do you mean? Am I lazy?"

Hua Wuying raised his eyebrows, not daring to speak. He picked up the chopsticks and obediently picked up the fish.

In the small village on the fishing island, even a small meal was eaten with great fanfare.

"By the way, Uncle Yuan."

While eating, Hua Wuying suddenly said, "Why don't you let us deliver the fish to Lingjing Sect tomorrow?"

"You guys?" Yuan Huai was startled. "Xiaoying, don't you go up the mountain to practice martial arts every day? Xiaolan, too... don't you have to go collect herbs?"

Yuan Ye sneered at the side: "Do you even need to ask? They came here with bad intentions. They must be going in to steal something."

After saying that, he protected the back of his head with both hands without waiting for his father to raise his palm to hit him.

Yuan Huai was so angry at his son that smoke came out of his nose. He could only say to Hua Wuying and the others helplessly: "Alas, my son is naughty, please don't blame me..."

Unexpectedly, Hua Xiaolan smiled brightly: "Actually, what Yuan Xiaoge said is right. We do have bad intentions."

She said to the stunned Yuan family father and son, "You already know that we are from the underworld. We have come all the way here. If you have nothing to ask for, why take the risk?"

Hua Wuying took over the conversation and said softly: "That's right. When this is done, we will also leave the Black Mountain Islands... We will not stay here forever."

Hearing this, the Yuan family father and son looked at each other with a look of half surprise and half joy on their faces.

"Xiaoying, Xiaolan..."

Yuan Huai asked carefully: "Are you sure?"

Hua Xiaolan smiled and was about to speak, but Hua Wuying spoke before her and said calmly, "No."

Snapped!
Hua Xiaolan slapped him on the arm in dissatisfaction.

Hua Wuying didn't care at all and smiled: "But everything depends on human effort. If we don't try, will we really be trapped here forever?"

"Everything depends on human effort..."

Yuan Huai repeated these four words, and his tone suddenly became a little sad.

"That's right." Hua Wuying paused with his gaze on the father and son, and said word by word: "Father Yuan, Brother Yuan, you are also people with obsessions in your hearts. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for you to stay in Jinse Town and be boatmen? Why do you have to go through the Ghost Gate Waterway and take a look at the Black Mountain Islands?"

"I think you know better than us... why everything depends on human efforts." After hearing his words, the Yuan family father and son looked at each other, and their eyes became firmer.

"father."

Yuan Ye suddenly said: "I don't like it here."

Yuan Huai sighed softly: "I...also miss my old friends in Jinse Town."

After saying this, he raised his head and his eyes gradually became firm.

"Xiaoying, Xiaolan, if you want to deliver the fish, that's no problem... Apart from that, is there anything else we, father and son, can help you with?" he asked.

Hua Wuying smiled and said, "Yes."

……

"Wuying, do you have any skills?"

In the small room, Hua Xiaolan snapped her fingers and the oil lamp on the table lit up.

She smiled at Hua Wuying and said, "You convinced the Yuan family father and son with just a few words? Why haven't you shown this ability in the past few months?"

"First of all, I really didn't think of this plan before."

Hua Wuying walked to the window, closed it, and said softly: "Secondly, the timing was not right."

"opportunity?"

Hua Xiaolan blinked, her eyelashes fluttering: "Is there still a chance for this?"

"Yes." Hua Wuying smiled and said, "A time when they all trust us."

Hua Xiaolan suddenly realized.

When they first arrived at Lingjingmen, the two of them were indeed... not trusted.

After all, they came through the mountain gate together with Huo Yaer. Even though Hua Xiaolan and Lin Wangshu were "old friends", the disciples of Lingjing Sect were extremely suspicious of them. No matter where they went, they would be closely watched.

When Hua Wuying was practicing in the mountains, he would occasionally see someone standing in the distance.

When Hua Xiaolan was collecting herbs, she often found someone following her.

Not only that, Yuan Ye had not woken up yet. Although Yuan Huai was very nice to the two of them, there was still a small gap between them.

Perhaps sensing this distrust, the other residents on the fishing island at that time also kept their distance from them.

It was not until Hua Xiaolan rescued Yuan Ye not long ago that Yuan Huai's attitude changed drastically. It was as if a huge stone had been lifted off his shoulders, and he began to treat them like family members.

It was also during this process that Lin Wangshu locked onto Huo Yaer's location several times based on the witchcraft spells on the two men, and those disciples did find traces left by Huo Yaer while tracking him.

In addition, the two of them have been extremely law-abiding in the past few months and have not done anything out of the ordinary. In addition to practicing martial arts every day, Hua Wuying occasionally helps Yuan Huai fish and repair boats. In addition to collecting herbs and taking care of Yuan Ye's health, Hua Xiaolan occasionally takes the pulse of the villagers on the fishing island and treats minor illnesses. The two of them have not done anything extra.

After several months, the disciples of Lingjing Sect finally relaxed their vigilance against them.

At the same time, Yuan's father and son also treated them as family members, which is why there was an atmosphere of unrestrained conversation and laughter at the dinner table.

"Right now is indeed the best time."

Hua Xiaolan asked softly, "But Wuying, why don't you wait a little longer? Maybe after a while, they will trust us more?"

"I can wait..." Hua Wuying smiled at her: "But Xiaolan, you and Wan Dushan may not be able to wait that long."

Hua Xiaolan's eyes moved slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled softly, then nodded.

"All right."

Hua Wuying walked to the straw bed on the side of the hut and said, "It's late. Go to sleep. Tomorrow...it's time to do something important."

Hua Xiaolan responded and sat down on the edge of the wooden bed on the other side of the hut. With a wave of her hand, she turned off the oil lamp again.

The two of them crawled into bed a few steps apart, and soon the sound of their overlapping and even breathing could be heard in the little room.
