From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 24 The Sea is Dead...

Jiang Yao's warning was purely out of kindness.

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Dahai.

"Jiang Yao, you are young and strong, not old or 70 years old. Why do you still believe in these dross left over from the feudal era?"

"Just now at the river, I caught a rag doll. How big of a deal is that?"

"Monsters and ghosts are all made up by people who have nothing better to do. Not to mention that those things don't exist at all, even if they really do exist in the world, would I, a grown man, be afraid of them?"

"Let me go find those superstitious shamans to perform a ritual? If we didn't know each other well and have known each other since childhood, I would have really suspected that Jiang Yao, were you colluding with others to cheat me out of money?"

……

Wang Dahai's words seemed to be a joke, but no matter how you looked at it, he didn't look like he was joking.

Some people, when interests are not involved, are still good brothers, but when money is involved, they might turn against each other after a few words.

Of course, at this moment Wang Dahai didn’t mean to fall out with Jiang Yao.

However, in his opinion, if he really did what Jiang Yao said, he would have to spend some money.

Perhaps, it was for this reason that he looked so unhappy.

"Uncle Yao is a good person in every way, except that he likes to make a fuss."

"I'm telling you, a few days ago, he came back from fishing at night and asked me where I could find a magician who could perform effective rituals. He said that he might have encountered something unclean and wanted to get rid of the bad luck."

"Carpenter Xu from Mawan Village has some real skills. Tong Gang told him about this the other day."

"Tell me the truth, Uncle Yao, have you gone to see Carpenter Xu these past two days?"

……

Feeling that the atmosphere seemed a little off, Bingzai quickly interrupted and diverted the topic to other aspects.

Although his relationship with Wang Dahai is pretty good, he is obviously closer to Jiang Yao.

"I must have gone to see Carpenter Xu. He does have some skills."

"Just now, I was going to recommend him to Brother Hai, but unfortunately, he didn't appreciate it at all. He took my good intentions for granted."

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Forget it, I'm too lazy to say more."

With some helplessness, Jiang Yao sighed and responded.

Wang Dahai reacted like this to the suggestion I made with good intentions. What else can I say?

Besides, it is true that Wang Dahai fished up a rag doll, but that doesn’t mean he really got involved with something dirty.

Or, some people are born with a strong destiny, so even if they really provoke something, it is no big deal and it is difficult to cause any impact on them.

What Jiang Yao said just now was merely his own guess, just in case.

The most he could be sure of was that he was safe from any disaster here. Even if there really was something underwater, it did not come to bother him this time.

After all, with the light curtain panel, if I really encounter any disaster, it should give me a prompt.

"To tell you the truth, I only caught one carp tonight, and I'm still not satisfied."

"If you weren't in a hurry to go back, Jiang Yao, I could have stayed there for at least another two hours."

"You guy, after you caught two big fish and sold them for dozens of dollars, you didn't care whether we brothers were still free."

"Let's make a deal first. After you sell the fish at the market tomorrow, you'll treat us to a meal tonight. You can't go back on your word."

"If you hadn't used this to lure us, I wouldn't have gone back so early. If I had stayed there for a while, maybe I could have caught two more big ones."...

Young people get angry quickly and get over it quickly.

Wang Dahai was indeed a little unhappy just now, but after a few words, he started chatting and laughing with Jiang Yao again.

As soon as the matter of eating out was mentioned, Bingzai and Gouzi came over and started to join in the conversation.

"When have I, Jiang Yao, ever broken my promise? I promised to treat you to a meal, and I will definitely not forget it tomorrow."

"But if you guys are delayed by anything, you can't blame me!"

Although Jiang Yao was a little uninterested at the moment, he still agreed casually.

"I know you're good at it. You can catch fish and sell them every day. It's just a treat for me to have dinner with you. It's nothing."

"People have spare money to support charlatans. In my opinion, they just have too much money and nowhere to put it. If it were me, I would rather buy two packs of good cigarettes."

"Yesterday we got two big grass carps, and today we got two more. If this trend continues, we will make thousands of dollars this month. Maybe in another two months, Jiang Yao will become Boss Jiang."

……

If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person. Jiang Yao went out fishing with some friends. It seems that it is not a good thing that he caught too many fish.

A few people were walking and chatting. No matter whether it was Bingzai or Wang Dahai and Gouzi, they would turn the conversation to Jiang Yao after just a few words.

Although the sarcasm in their words seemed to be a joke, it was obviously a bit sour.

When Jiang Yao returned home, it was already past midnight.

The room was dark and my mother Yuan Xiuhua had already fallen asleep.

The two big grass carps in the net bag were still alive and kicking when they were brought ashore, but now, they are already dead.

Jiang Yao used a snakeskin bag to pad the basket that contained the fish in the morning. After putting the fish in the basket, he dragged it directly into his room.

After doing all this, he went to the kitchen and got half a bucket of cold water. After washing his body, he went back to his room, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, noon.

"Uncle Yao... Uncle Yao..." In a daze, he heard voices calling out, mixed with the sound of knocking on the window, which made Jiang Yao, who was catching up on his sleep after selling fish, open his eyes and wake up from his sleep.

He was lucky today. He went to sell fish in the morning and successfully sold all the fish by eight o'clock.

After returning home and eating, he had nothing to do and fell asleep not long ago.

As soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was Bingzai.

The old-fashioned doors and windows in the room had frosted glass on the bottom two panes, but the glass on the top allowed one to clearly see the scene outside.

The soldier who often went to Jiang Yao's house naturally knew which room Jiang Yao slept in.

At this moment, he was standing on tiptoe by the window. Seeing Jiang Yao wake up, he quickly waved at him and signaled.

"It's still early to go out to eat. Why is Bingzai coming to my place at this time?"

Jiang Yao, who had just woken up, still felt a little confused.

Shaking his head, he got up from the bed, walked out of the room, and opened the door to the main room outside.

Normally, in front of Jiang Yao, Bingzai always looked playful and frivolous, but now, as he walked into the main room through the door opened by Jiang Yao, his face turned pale, as if he was still frightened.

"Wang Dahai died this morning..." He spoke the first thing he did when he saw Jiang Yao.
