Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Zhang Hanyan stood on the shore and looked down into the water. A grass carp was surrounded by Yuncai and the other two, and was looking for a place to escape.

"Don't move, I'll catch it."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and slowly approached the swimming grass carp. The three of them held their breath and stared at the fish underwater.

She seized the opportunity, put her hands into the water, grabbed the grass carp in a lightning speed, and lifted it high.

"Caught."

Her face was filled with a bright smile, her eyes were almost curved into crescents, and her eyes were full of joy.

"Ah! Sister Hanyan is so amazing, come and show it to me and Sister Xiuxiu."

Zhang Hanyan handed the fish to Yuncai. She carefully grasped the fish's body and used both hands to hold it tightly, not daring to relax for a moment, for fear that the fish would fall into the water and run away.

"Yuncai, don't use so much force. You're almost squeezing the fish to death. Give it to me and I'll put it in the bucket."

Huo Xiuxiu grabbed the fish in Yuncai's hand, and after it was completely out of Yuncai's hand, she held the fish's gills with two fingers.

No matter how the fish struggled and swayed in her hand, it could not break free from her two slender white fingers.

"Brother Wu Xie, got it, big fish."

Her eyes curved into a smile, and as soon as Wu Xie looked up at her, she threw the fish in her hand towards Wu Xie.

Before Wu Xie could react, he saw a huge fish flapping in the air and heading towards his face. He quickly dodged to the side and the fish landed on the grass behind him.

"Xiu Xiu, are you planning to murder me with this fish?"

Huo Xiuxiu chuckled, "Sorry, Brother Wu Xie, I forgot that my aim is so good."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes speechlessly, picked up the still-dangling fish, and threw it into the bucket.

Yuncai looked down at the river water which had just covered her ankles, smiled, took Zhang Hanyan's hand, and pointed to the water a little further away.

"Sister Hanyan, can we go play in deeper water? The water here is too shallow and not fun at all.

Sister Xiuxiu, what do you think?"

"Okay, I also think the water here is too shallow. Let's go to the deeper water to see if there are any big fish."

Huo Xiuxiu agreed with great joy. She looked at the sparkling water in the distance, unable to hide her impatience.

"I think so too, let's go together."

Zhang Hanyan held Yuncai's hand, and walked with Huo Xiuxiu until the water reached their knees before stopping.

Zhang Qiling's eyes followed her figure closely until the fishing rod in his hand shook slightly, then he turned his gaze back.

"Brother, the fish is on the hook, pull the fishing rod quickly."

Amid Wu Xie's exclamation, he just raised his hand, and the fishing rod in his hand formed a perfect parabola, and the fish on the hook fell accurately into the bucket.

The splashes of water from the fish entering the water fell on him, and he shook his head slightly to let the water droplets on his hair fall off.

"This big grass carp must be around 4-5 kilograms. You didn't even try to pull such a heavy fish up, you just pulled it up. Your arm strength is amazing!"

Wu Xie raised a thumb with great joy and stretched it in front of Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling glanced at him and said calmly, "Yeah."

"Hmm? Young man, what do you mean by 'hmm'? Are you admitting that you are awesome? I think you are too immodest, aren't you?"

Wu Xie tilted his head and stared at him, trying to find some embarrassment on his face, but unfortunately, there was none.

From beginning to end, Zhang Qiling always had a calm expression and did not show any intention of denying himself.

He fiddled with the tangled fishing line, slowly straightened it out, put a worm on the hook again, and cast the rod into the water once again.

"Sister Xiuxiu, here, oh, Sister Hanyan, hurry up, the big fish is about to run away."

The afternoon sun shines obliquely on the river surface, and the golden ripples and the blue river water are intertwined, like a flowing painting.

As the breeze blows, the towering trees on both sides of the river bank sway gently, bringing a touch of coolness unique to summer.

In the distance, Zhang Hanyan, Huo Xiuxiu and Yuncai were chasing fish swimming underwater. Their figures were reflected in the water and their laughter lingered on both sides of the river bank.

"Here, Xiuxiu, stop it quickly, it's about to run away, Yuncai, don't move..."

Before Zhang Hanyan could finish her words, Yuncai stepped on a mossy stone, her foot slipped, and her body fell backwards.

"Clouds!"

Huo Xiuxiu and Zhang Hanyan cried out in unison and stretched out their hands to try to catch the falling clouds.

Each of them grabbed one of Yuncai's hands and wanted to pull her up directly, but they didn't expect that instead of pulling her up, they were dragged down into the water.

"Yanyan!"

"Clouds!"

"Xiuxiu!"

Zhang Qiling, Fatty, and Xie Yuchen ran towards the three girls lying in the river from three different directions.

They were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had pulled up the people they were worried about.

"Yanyan, how are you?"

"Cough cough cough... It's okay, cough cough, I just choked on a mouthful of water, cough cough cough..."

Zhang Hanyan kept choking and coughing, and Zhang Qiling gently patted her back, trying to make her feel better.

Zhang Qiling quickly glanced at her body and saw her bruised arms and faint bloodstains on her knees.

Her skin was originally fair, and these bruises and bloodstains were extremely conspicuous on her body, and were shocking to look at.

"Hurt...let's go home."

He picked her up without saying a word and strode towards the shore.

"Yuncai, are you okay? How did you fall? Let me see, your legs are bruised. Come on, get ashore and go home to apply medicine."

The fat man looked at Yuncai's body nervously. When he saw the bruise on his knee, he suddenly lost his composure and carefully helped Yuncai walk to the shore.

"Xiu Xiu, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine, Brother Xiaohua, let's go ashore first."

"it is good."

Xie Yuchen supported Huo Xiuxiu and turned around to walk back. On the shore, Hei Xiazi, whose hands and face were dirty, frowned and looked at them as they came over.

His eyes stayed on Xie Yuchen. Xie Yuchen's clothes were completely soaked in water and stuck tightly to his body. Under the thin clothes, the lines of his muscles were clear and faintly visible.

Everyone returned to the shore because of this sudden change. Some of them were standing or sitting, and in their eyes, there was only the person in their hearts.

"Yan Yan, does it hurt?"

Zhang Qiling lowered his eyelashes and carefully wiped the blood oozing from Zhang Hanyan's knee with a tissue.

His movements seemed calm and slow, but his trembling fingertips still revealed his panic and confusion.

"It doesn't hurt, it's just a little skin breakage, it will be healed in a while."

Zhang Hanyan rubbed her bruised arm. The incident happened so suddenly that she had no time to react. Otherwise, she would never have been injured.
