Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Ye Chen drove the oxcart, making his way along the edge of the old forest with practiced ease.

Seeing Ye Chen's relaxed demeanor, Tian Cong couldn't help but ask.

"Ye Chen, I heard you just went hunting in the mountains?"

"How come you seem to know this old forest better than those old hunters?"

"Brother Cong, when I'm free, I just wander around the edge of the old forest. After all, I value my life!"

Ye Chen bluffed, "The old hunters in our village are all seasoned veterans. They wouldn't even consider these advantages on the edge of the old forest!"

"But you know what, this time I stumbled upon a real opportunity. Brother Cong is waiting for me upstairs. I guarantee we'll make a fortune this time!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Cong nodded repeatedly. As they spoke, the two arrived at a cliff face.

"This is……"

Seeing that the huge rock wall blocked their way, Tian Cong was about to ask a question when Ye Chen jumped off the donkey cart and began to explore along the cliff face.

A moment later, a hole about two meters wide appeared under Ye Chen's feet.

The cave entrance was covered by weeds, and if Fei Yechen searched carefully, it would be difficult to find.

"Brother Cong, keep an eye on this rope later, make sure it doesn't break!"

Ye Cheng skillfully tied one end of the rope to a tree and solemnly instructed him.

After saying this, he grabbed the rope and was about to jump towards the cave entrance.

"Brother, don't panic!"

Upon seeing this scene, Tian Cong was startled and quickly stopped Ye Chen: "I've heard that you can't just wander into the caves in the old forest; who knows how deep it is down there!"

"What if we run into some wild beasts again, and my brothers can't make it back? How am I supposed to explain that to your woman?"

"Brother Cong, don't worry, I've already gone down to scout the way!"

Ye Chen spoke confidently, saying that in his previous life, when he first entered the old forest, he originally thought he would try his luck, but he did not expect to slip and fall into the cave entrance.

There happened to be an underground current below, which is how Ye Chen managed to save his life.

In the darkness, Ye Chen groped around for a while before discovering that the undercurrents converged into a deep pool at the end.

Various kinds of fish inhabit the pool.

It's clearly because it's hot outside that the fish are seeking refuge here from the heat!

At that time, Ye Chen spent a lot of effort to escape.

Later, they went there many more times to fish, and made a lot of money using this method.

Unfortunately, someone later discovered the clues and followed Ye Chen's lead, uncovering the secret beneath the cave entrance!

Finally, the opposing force outnumbered them and seized the area.

Ye Chen knew he was no match for his opponent, so he could only try to settle things peacefully.

Ye Chen called Tian Cong here to buy time and catch all the fish before the other party discovered the secret.

"Well... if anything unexpected happens down here, hold on tight to the rope. I'll be watching from above, and I'll definitely get you out!"

Tian Cong hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Only then did they cooperate with Ye Chen and follow the rope to the cave entrance.

As Ye Chen's figure was enveloped in darkness, Tian Cong couldn't help but clasp his hands together and pray silently.

Brother, you absolutely cannot let anything happen this time!

……

Inside the cave entrance.

Ye Chen gripped the rope tightly and slowly fell.

The cave walls were covered with moss, making it impossible to find any foothold.

Using his experience from his previous life, Ye Chen braced himself against the cave wall with his legs and quickly descended to the bottom.

He took out the torches he had prepared beforehand, lit them, and then looked around.

Sure enough, this place is just like my previous life!

The underground currents converge dozens of meters away, and through the firelight, you can see many schools of fish in the deep pool!

"Brother Cong, put those things down!"

As agreed beforehand, Ye Chen rushed to the cave entrance, gave a shout, and gently shook the rope.

At the entrance of the cave.

Tian Cong sensed something was wrong and quickly leaned in to listen. Ye Chen's voice came through, and Tian Cong shuddered, his face showing excitement.

"It looks like this is truly a blessed land!"

Without saying a word, Tian Cong tied the fishing net and wooden bucket he had prepared earlier with ropes and put them into the hole one by one.

Then, as agreed, he slowly descended into the cave along the rope.

After some discussion, Ye Chen cast his net, with Tian Cong cooperating.

With just one net cast, the fish caught filled three logs!

At first glance, it weighs at least a thousand pounds!

"This is it, bro! This time it's really big!"

"These fish are all completely wild. If they're sent to the county, city dwellers will fight tooth and nail for them!"

"One haul can net over a thousand yuan; with a few more trips, you could build a house in the village!"

In his excitement, Tian Cong wanted to catch all the fish in one go.

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Brother Cong, we can't catch all these fish. By the end of the year, they'll have grown even bigger. If we catch them all, the villagers who rely on fishing for a living at the end of the year might not have a way to survive!"

"Alright, let's hurry up and get these fish back to the village first. Then, before it gets dark, we can make a couple more trips!"

"Tomorrow, we'll go into town first thing in the morning to sell fish. Once we make a few thousand yuan, we can call it a day!"

Ye Chen discovered the location and suggested the method, so Tian Cong, who had already benefited greatly, naturally dared not say anything in the face of such an arrangement.

The two of them then carried the wooden bucket to the ground together.

They drove the donkey cart towards the village!

"Perfect timing! I have quite a few fish tanks at home. I'll borrow a couple more when I get back to keep these fish!"

"Live fish are more valuable; if we send them to the city tomorrow morning, we can get an even higher price!"

Tian Cong kept turning around to look at the lively fish in the wooden bucket, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

But just as the two emerged from the old forest, they ran into a group of people!

There were more than a dozen of them, and upon seeing Ye Chen, they scattered without saying a word.

They blocked Tian Cong and Ye Chen's path!

"You..." Tian Cong frowned slightly, about to reprimand them.

A familiar voice came from the crowd opposite.

"Brother Cong, something's not right with you!"

"Brother, I kindly lent you my fishing net. You have a way to make money, but you didn't even think of sharing it with me?"

"If I hadn't been careful, I probably wouldn't have known that Brother Cong had such abilities!"

Li Chen stepped forward, walked to the front, glanced at the wooden bucket containing the fish, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Cong, we grew up together, our relationship is undeniable. If you don't treat me like a brother, I'll never forget you."

"How about this, brother, we won't take too much. You have three buckets of fish in total. We'll share two buckets, and you can keep the last one for yourself, okay?"

"Li Chen, you son of a bitch, are you even speaking human language?"

Tian Cong is straightforward and has a fiery temper. Seeing Li Chen being so domineering, he was immediately filled with anger.

The other person grew up with me and we often interacted. Today, I fed them some fish, but they said such things.

They're clearly shameless!

"Brother Cong, it's not unreasonable for me to ask you for a little something in return for lending you my fishing net!"

"In short, there's only one answer today: either you give me the fish, or my brothers behind me will probably have to fight over it!"
