Chapter Twenty-Four: Let's Catch the Fish
After returning to the cave, the two put away the uneaten gooseberries and apples, and in the afternoon Gaia took a rusty machete from the cave and went outside to cut the basswood and come back to build a raft. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And she was responsible for finding some stronger, stronger vines to connect with the basswood.
It was a simple thing to say, but it was hard to do, and before you knew it, they had been busy for three days, and although the raft had not yet been built, her stomach was already "growling" with hunger.
"It's almost noon, let's go get something to eat first, and then we'll continue in the afternoon."
Han Nuo put down the vine in his hand, walked to his side and kept urging.
Gaia is an extremely serious person, and if he doesn't do what he does well, he is in no mood to do anything else.
"Didn't I bring you back a lot of wild fruits yesterday? That's it? He didn't lift his head, but said as he buried his head in his work.
Looking at his perfunctory attitude, she came to him, took off the tools in his hands, crossed her hands on her waist, raised her eyebrows and said, "I've been eating fruit all day long, I'm tired of eating, why don't we go to the river and catch two fish to grill and eat?" ”
Hearing her say this, Gaia realized that after a few days of wilderness life, Elizabeth had lost weight, and a strong sense of self-blame rose in his heart.
"You are in poor health, you really should make up for it, let's go, let's catch fish together!"
As soon as he heard him agree, Han Nuo was overjoyed and pulled him to run towards the river as quickly as possible.
Riverside.
Gaia took off her leather boots, rolled up her trouser legs, and walked out into the icy water.
There were many fish in the river, but how he caught them, they seemed to have legs, and they escaped from his hands as soon as they slipped away, and after an hour he caught a fish, and this fish was only the size of the palm of his hand, and it was certainly not enough to eat.
Just when he was annoyed, a pretty figure also came to the river with him, he frowned, and said unhappily: "Princess, the river is too cold, you should wait for me on the shore!" ”
Han Nuo shook her head, and then took out a slender bamboo from behind her, the tip of the bamboo was made into a scattered bamboo strip by her, and a sharpened wooden stick was inserted in the middle, she blinked and said, "I can catch a few big fish in minutes with this device." ”
Gaia glanced at the bamboo stick in her hand and asked suspiciously, "Is it it?" ”
"Wait and see......"
After Han Nuo finished speaking, she stared intently at the water, looking at the fish swimming back and forth at her feet, she held up the fishing artifact she had developed, and slammed it into a big fish at her feet, the big fish wanted to escape, but the bamboo strips spread out from the bamboo caught it deep like a fishing net, and the wooden stick with a sharpened heel in the middle instantly inserted into the belly of the fish.
Han Nuo picked up the bamboo stick from the water, and there was a big and fat wild crucian carp stuck in the tip of the bamboo, she took the fish and shook it in front of Gaia's eyes, and smiled proudly: "How is it, are you convinced?" ”
Gaia nodded and gave her a thumbs up, "The princess is extremely smart, and she is convinced!" ”
"If you know! Let's go ashore and make a fire to grill fish! ”
In a clearing by the river in the Bujik Valley, two men set up firewood, then scraped the fish in the water by the river, washed it, and then stuck it on a wooden stick and roasted it on the fire.
After a while, an enticing aroma of meat wafted into Han Nuo's nose with the air, and her eyes straightened as she looked directly at the grilled fish flipped in Gaia's hand.
Gaia looked at her greedy look, and really thought it was funny, he tore a little fatty fresh fish from the grilled fish in his hand and handed it to her mouth, "Taste it, is it cooked?" ”
Han Nuo ate the fish meat in his hand in one bite, she gently chewed it twice in her mouth, her eyes lit up, and she gave him a thumbs up, "Okay, okay, take it off quickly." ”
What a little gluttonous cat.
Gaia shook her head helplessly, handed her half of the fish that had been roasted in her hand, and then picked up the other half of the fish that had not been roasted and put it on the fire rack, and continued to roast.
"Gaia, let me tell you, this is the best fish I've ever eaten in my life, the fish my mother used to cook really didn't taste like fish at all, if you want to eat fish, it's still wild like nature to be delicious!" Han Nuo said boastfully while eating the fresh, fatty grilled fish.
"Queen Ann Boleyn died when the princess was three years old, and the princess still remembers the queen's cooking skills at such a young age?"
Gaia's sudden question made Han Nuo, who was originally eating fish, choked, she patted her chest violently, and said embarrassedly: "I'm talking about the nurse, haha......"
Ann Boleyn was executed by the previous king, Henry VIII, when Elizabeth was three years old, and the whole country knew about it, and she lied to hide her true identity.
Gaia didn't notice the change in her, anyway, after many days of getting along, he had long been used to Elizabeth's nonsense, and when he was quiet, he still looked like a lady, and sometimes laughed like a bold man, but he didn't dislike Elizabeth at all, but liked her free and easy, and she could do whatever she wanted.
"If you like it, I'll bake you a few more, so that you can eat enough!"
"Don't you bake me? You eat too, come and come......"
In this way, the two spent a pleasant and leisurely lunchtime, and after eating, they extinguished the firewood, and the two of them lay down in a large shape, relaxed on the open space.
The afternoon sky was so blue, and the clouds in the sky were gently blown by the wind, and at one moment they would look like a beautiful rose, and then they would turn into a puppy, and then flocks of migratory birds would fly in from afar, and perch on the branches around them, pecking at their beautiful feathers with their sharp beaks.
"Gaia, you say, how nice it would be if we stayed in this place forever, away from the distractions of the world!"
Han Nuo looked at the beautiful sky and suddenly sighed.
Whether she is in a distant city or the current English royal family, she actually doesn't like it, aside from all these external factors, she actually wants to live a leisurely and carefree pastoral life under such a blue sky and white clouds.
Gaia tilted her head, looked at the beautiful princess, and said sincerely, "If the princess is willing, I will always be here with you." ”
Anyway, his revenge has been avenged, and he will be alone in the future, he likes a woman like Elizabeth very much, if she wants, he will always be by her side, although he does not say glory and wealth, but he has enough food and clothing, he Gaia will definitely be able to do it.
Han Nuo didn't hear what he said clearly, but instead pointed to the foot of the mountain in the distance, and said vigilantly: "Look, is someone coming over there?" ”
