Chapter 126: Yuan MazI? Falls into Water

~7 min read 1,230 words

Pull, hurry up and pull, damn, you haven't eaten? Ye Cheng gave a tug, but couldn't move it at all; Xiao Hu this guy didn't exert any force—he's really good at slacking.

Xiao Hu in the middle was half-submerged, leaning back, his hands pulling in the water, moving only a little; even he couldn't help turning back and shouting at Ye Cheng.

Damn, bro, I know you're weak, but you can't be this weak—at least put in some effort.

Bullshit, I've used all the strength I had since nursing—it's you who's slacking. Ye Cheng shouted back; he's been pulling for a while and still can't move it, yet claims he's weak.

No way, I've been pulling all along. Xiao Hu said doubtfully.

Ye Guowei walked over, crouched, and pulled together with Xiao Hu; the two exerted force and moved the fish trap.

But when Ye Cheng got ready to take it, there was still no response.

After they had pulled out most of it, Ye Cheng still didn't budge.

Damn, after all this time, these are two fish traps. Ye Cheng finally realized.

I don't know why the two fish traps rolled together; Ye Cheng hadn't expected that and still thought it was one.

Now it's good: Ye Guowei first helped Xiao Hu pull up one fish trap, then came over to help Ye Cheng pull up the second.

They found three of the six fish traps below, which is better than Yuan MazI?'s side.

Moreover, the contents of these two fish traps also made the three of them eager.

Packed full, even surpassing the first fish trap.

I don't know how they got squeezed in.

Yuan MazI? was bored anyway; he walked over resentfully, took a look, his face changed dramatically, he couldn't hold back, and pointed at the fish trap, saying,

You guys are too exaggerated—can a fish trap hold this much?

Ye Cheng couldn't be bothered to deal with him—none of your business.

Ye Guowei replied, 'Maybe the tide came in well this time.'

That sentence made Yuan MazI? feel terrible inside; if he had known yesterday he should have chosen this spot, now counting money his hand would hurt—himself.

Yuan MazI? went back to his own side.

And Ye Cheng started to worry.

Altogether six snakeskin bags now hold two and a half; the contents of these two fish traps definitely won't fit.

Bro, what should we do? Xiao Hu stood there scratching his head—happiness can sometimes be a worry.

Ye Cheng thought for a moment, looked at Ye Guowei, 'Bro, why not have sister-in-law send a few poles and baskets over, then we can carry them back?'

Ye Guowei thought, pointed at the things on the ground and said, 'So much, even a pole probably won't be enough—we need to bring a small cart over, and Dou Dou is still at home; I don't know if he's slept.'

Like that, I'll go back once and bring the cart.

Being a father is different; one first thinks of the child—Ye Cheng just forgot about Dou Dou.

Okay, then we'll first load the bags, then look around here—not go that deep.

Ye Guowei isn't here; his and Xiao Hu's strength is much less, so we indeed need to be more careful.

The three had just decided what to do when they heard an urgent shout from nearby: 'Save me, save—me—ah!'

Looking back, damn, when did Yuan MazI? get that deep? I don't know what happened; his whole body got swept into the seawater, struggling nonstop, about to be dragged out to sea.

Damn, wanting money over life. Ye Cheng cursed, guessing he saw his side's fish trap bountiful and wanted to go find his own, but was embarrassed to ask for a rope.

Don't talk, hurry and save him—tie the rope. Ye Guowei had a solemn expression.

The three tightened the ropes around their waists and hurried toward Yuan MazI?, but the water was deep, so they couldn't run fast.

Uncle Yuan, hold on, we're coming. Ye Guowei ran in front, Xiao Hu in the middle, Ye Cheng at the back.

When they ran to a spot three or four meters from Yuan MazI?, the water was already waist-high, soon to reach chest level, and all three were struggling.

Bro, we can't go further; if we go further we'll also go in—let's untie the rope and throw it over. Ye Cheng grabbed Ye Guowei.

Saving someone is okay, but we can't sacrifice ourselves.

Yuan MazI? still has strength, still struggling against the waves, occasionally jumping toward the shore.

Ye Guowei checked the water level, also didn't dare go past.

But if we wait for them to untie the rope, it's uncertain whether Yuan MazI? will still be there.

Like this, it's not far—I'll swim over, and you pull the rope tight to pull us back.

Okay, then bro, be careful.

At the critical moment, Ye Cheng didn't hesitate; he and Xiao Hu took their positions and handed the rope to Ye Guowei.

Ye Guowei then dove into the seawater like a sea fish.

All grew up by the sea; anyone can swim a few strokes.

Ye Cheng saw Ye Guowei go down, then he swam hard toward that side; the few meters looked close, but the water's impact made Ye Guowei's progress not fast.

But fortunately Ye Guowei is still young and strong, able to withstand the water's ups and downs; after swimming a dozen or so strokes he still reached Yuan MazI?'s side.

Uncle, grab me.

Ye Guowei reached out and grabbed Yuan MazI? in one pull.

Only then could Yuan MazI? lift his head above water, gasping heavily, urgently saying, 'There's seaweed—my foot is tangled in seaweed.'

Hearing there was seaweed, Ye Cheng couldn't help cursing: 'Fuck!'

Being tangled in seaweed is quite troublesome; seaweed is tough, pulling on it may or may not break it—hard to say.

Bro, you hold him; I and Xiao Hu will pull hard to see.

After saying that, Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu each took one side, pulling the rope, leaning back, exerting force to see if they could pull Uncle Yuan over.

But no matter how the two pulled, Yuan MazI? didn't budge; the tangling below was tight.

'A Cheng, can't pull it—need to go down and cut it—do we have a knife?' Ye Guowei shouted loudly; Yuan MazI? had no strength left, could only cling to Ye Guowei gasping.

Damn, where to find a knife.

Ye Cheng made a complaint.

He and Xiao Hu were standing half in the water, not daring to bring their phones—where did that knife come from?

"Brother, do you think this will work?" Xiao Hu fished out a piece of stone from the water.

Besides, it's just like the tools of the mountaintop cave people.

This will work, I'll go over and fix it for him—you get the rope ready, brother, your life is in your hands.

Let me tell you, without brother's guidance, your barbarian definitely couldn't beat Ba'er.

Upon hearing the word 'game,' Xiao Hu was dumbfounded: "Brother, what time is it now, why are you still talking about games?"

If I don't talk about the game, I'm afraid you won't pay attention—alright, I'm heading over.

Ye Cheng finished speaking, then shouted at Ye Guowei: "Brother, I'm coming over to help him cut the seaweed—just stand still and don't move."
