Xu Wenlong went through hardships and finally caught a big fish, temporarily solving the urgent problem of food shortage. This made his grief mood slightly better, and his spirit also increased greatly. Although I haven't eaten or drunk for more than ten hours, it still seems that I still have inexhaustible strength and energy. He waved his arms, shook his oars, and rowed the dinghy forward.

Yu Wenli lay on her stomach in the cabin for a while, and found that except for the slightly stronger sea breeze, which blew her hair fluttering, there was actually no danger. So she sat up and looked at the huge sea fish around her with wide eyes and curiosity. It was a large fish with an unnamed body, a blue-brown body, an oval body, a large mouth, and a gill cover on one side that could not be closed, and was dripping blood. The tail is like a large open pair of scissors, and the dorsal fin pectoral fin is still swinging back and forth, and it doesn't look like it's dead.

Xu Wenlong rowed three or four miles in one go, far away from the land of right and wrong—the sea area covered with blood. Seeing that there was no more danger, he lowered his oars, took a few breaths, and turned to the big fish.

"What kind of fish do you think this is?" Yu Wenli fiddled with the fish head with her hand, and asked Xu Wenlong strangely in her mouth.

"It doesn't matter what kind of fish it is, it can quench its hunger and thirst." Xu Wenlong leaned over and grabbed the fire axe in the cabin, and tried its edge with his hand, feeling very sharp and satisfying. Then he asked Yu Wenli to move to the side, so as not to get blood on her body and hinder her operation. Then he crouched down and looked at the fish he had so hard to catch, before picking up the scales with his axe. He started from the tail of the fish, and pushed the axe in the direction of the head of the fish, pushing the scales like a haircut, and the blood oozing out flowed in all directions, especially the strong fishy smell, which made people want to smell it.

Yu Wenli subconsciously covered her nose and stayed aside. Later, frowning and thinking about it, she let go of her nose again, returned to her original position, resisted the urge to vomit, and patiently watched Xu Wenlong deal with the sea fish. It turned out that after she realized the difficulty of the current situation, she wanted to adapt to the fishy smell as soon as possible, so as not to bring unnecessary psychological burden to Xu Wenlong.

The axe flew over, the scales scattered, and after a while, Xu Wenlong removed all the scales, leaving a smooth and bloodstained "fleshy fish". He cleaned the lifeboat briefly and wiped it clean with his own clothes. Then use the axe again, cut open the belly of the fish, remove the internal organs, and carefully cut two pieces of fat and tender meat from the back of the fish. Such a bloody scene made Yu Wenli on the side thrilling and stunned, and a layer of goosebumps erupted all over her body. Especially the two heavy and bloody pieces of fish, she almost didn't faint. However, Xu Wenlong is completely different, and completely treats those two pieces of meat as a delicacy. Of course, this is because I am very hungry, and because I have received special training. He grabbed one of the pieces of meat, raised his head and looked at Yu Wenli with a smile, indicating if he wanted to come some.

Yu Wenli shook her head, frowned and replied, "No, it's better for you to eat, I'll watch you eat first." ”

"Okay, open the can, and eat a little beef first, so as not to starve." Xu Wenlong was no longer polite after speaking, grabbed the fish meat that was still dripping blood and sent it to his mouth, and took a bite and chewed it very hard, especially when he swallowed it, his hearty and comfortable demeanor was better than eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. He kept biting, chewing, enjoying it with all his heart, and the way he gobbled it up and relished it, even Yu Wenli, who was forced to vomit, became ready to move, wanting to snatch a piece of meat from his mouth and taste what kind of ambiguity it was. But having said that, if she really wants to do this, she still doesn't have the courage and determination, after all, she has already made a lot of progress without spitting.

In just a few minutes, a piece of fish that weighed more than three catties was wiped out by Xu Wenlong. He touched his blood-stained mouth pleasantly, and looked at the treated sea fish with intent. At this time, in addition to the head and tail, the middle of the sea fish has basically become an empty skeleton.

When Yu Wenli saw it, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's wrong?" Haven't had enough yet? I don't want to eat all those bones. That one...... Is that raw fish really that delicious? You can't lie to me. ”

"I'm full, but there's still a lot of meat in the bones, and it's a pity to throw them away, so I'll have to get them out." Xu Wenlong picked up a few handfuls of seawater, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and added vaguely, "Anyway, I want to take a break, so I just take this opportunity to remove the meat." ”

"Yes, would you like some water?" Yu Wenli nodded, and pointed to the half bottle of water again. She knows that water is precious, so she is reluctant to take a sip until now, even if it is a small sip.

"No, the fresh fish is full of water, so you don't need to drink any additional water." Xu Wenlong said, picked up the axe and carefully picked up the meat, and said while picking, "As for the taste of raw fish you said, it actually depends on whether you are used to it or not." Once you get used to the smell and get used to the taste, you'll find it juicy, meaty, and tender, better than beef and chicken. By the way, why don't you eat canned food yet? It's not good to be overly hungry, and eating it will be harmful to your body. ”

Yu Wenli waved her hand and said casually: "Let's talk about the canned food later." What I want most now is to taste the taste of the raw fish, and see that it doesn't taste as you say, it's so tender. Didn't you say you have to get used to it? I want to start adapting and getting used to it from now on. "She has been wandering in Beijing for a long time, and she has not had a meal every day, and she has already developed a powerful ability to endure hunger. Now that she is in a difficult situation, she just wants to be like Xu Wenlong, what to eat, what to eat. In this way, even if you drift at sea for ten or eight years, you will have nothing to fear, and you don't have to worry about food and water at all. Of course, this is just her naïve wishful thinking, and it cannot be taken seriously.

"Really? Do you really have that determination? Xu Wenlong glanced up at Yu Wenli, and then peeled off the flesh with another axe. It is not easy to peel flesh from the cracks of the bones, especially with an axe. You must use a woman's embroidery skills, not in a hurry, nor with great strength, you have to carefully pick, dig, and cut little by little. The meat that comes out is also fragmented, or the size of a palm, or the thickness of a finger, or the shape of a long strip, or the meat is diced, in short, there are many kinds of things. However, no matter how big or small, Xu Wenlong collected them one by one and carefully stacked them together. Even a little bit of minced meat, he would stuff it in his mouth and swallow it.

"Give it a try!" Yu Wenli restrained her smile, put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look at death, grabbed a piece of meat the size of her thumb with a trembling hand, closed her eyes and threw it into her mouth under Xu Wenlong's stunned gaze...... In an instant, Yu Wenli felt a strong fishy smell spread rapidly from her mouth, and the hula rushed straight to her head, causing her stomach to contract and tumble. Finally, with a "poof", the fish that had just entered the mouth was sprayed out and fell far into the sea. And the moment the fish falls into the water, the calm water suddenly rolls like boiling water, splashing the water, and then everything is calm again.

Xu Wenlong sighed, muttered in his mouth, and said, "Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to have fallen into an evil again, his body stiffened, his eyes were straight, and he looked at the rolling waves outside the boat for a while, and looked at the sharp fish bones in his hands for a while, and his face gradually showed a trace of joy.

After Yu Wenli spit out the fish, she immediately fell down in a hurry, picked up the seawater outside the boat and rinsed her mouth wildly. It wasn't until the salty sea water made her feel a little better that she straightened up with tears in her eyes, looked at Xu Wenlong who had a painful face and said, "I know that you have a hard time catching fish, and it's not easy." But am I not adapting? Otherwise, what should I do when the canned food is finished? Can I starve to death like this? ”

Xu Wenlong was shocked and hurriedly apologized to Yu Wenli: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I really shouldn't blame you." But when it comes to catching fish, I have a better way to do it now. We don't need to work hard and have no results like we did just now, it basically depends on our luck. ”

Yu Wenli shrugged her nose and said disapprehantly: "What a good way?" Can you conjure up a pair of fishing nets? If you go down to the net, you will be alive and kicking, and there will really be endless fish. ”

Xu Wenlong replied without raising his head while picking fish: "Fish hook, isn't it better to fish with a fish hook?" And you don't have to waste time, just throw it in the water and drag it away. ”

"Fishhooks?" Yu Wenli unnaturally glanced at the backpack under her feet, and blurted out in surprise, "Oh my God, you ...... You know it all? Know everything? ”

Xu Wenlong raised his head inexplicably, looked at Yu Wenli in a daze, and said, "I know?" What do I know? Haven't I been rowing all the time? And what can you know? ”

Yu Wenli chuckled in her heart, only then did she realize that she had said something impulsively, and she couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly smiled and covered it up: "No...... It's nothing...... It's me...... I would have been wrong......"

"Really? Are you sure you have nothing to hide from me? Xu Wenlong glanced at Yu Wenli, who was nervous, and lowered his head again and continued to pick up the meat.

"No, not really!" Yu Wenli couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Xu Wenlong was no longer asking. After a while, she tilted her head again and asked curiously, "Tell me how you want to fish?" What to fish with? Do you have a fish hook? Do you have bait? You might as well show it to me. ”

When Xu Wenlong heard this, he cut off a sea fish rib with an axe, held it high in his hand and said: "This is the fish hook, it is sharp, sharp and hard, and then tie the rope under your feet, can't you fish!" As for bait, these diced minced meat are the best bait. If it weren't for the small size and light of our boat, we would have thrown this fish head down to ensure that several big fish would come and grab it in a few moments. ”

"Whew, that's what you call a good way!" Yu Wenli shrugged her nose, revealing a look of disdain on her face.

Xu Wenlong replied lightly: "I didn't know until I tried it, at least the probability of going to the sea to catch fish was higher than just now." With that, he turned his axe diagonally, carefully plucking a piece of fish flesh out of his thick vertebrae.

"Probably." Yu Wenli nodded thoughtfully, and silently watched Xu Wenlong pick the meat one by one. After a long time, she asked tentatively and gently, "I say, if I have a better way to catch fish than you, or a fishing tool, do you believe it?" Will you scold me? ”

"How so? If your method can catch more fish, it's too late for me to be happy, so how can I scold you? ”

"Okay, you said it yourself, don't be reliant when the time comes!" Yu Wenli saw that Xu Wenlong was indifferent and indifferent to her proposal, and she didn't even bother to raise her head. For a while, her heart was on fire, and she grabbed the backpack in the boat with heavy hands and feet, and unzipped the bag with a hiss......

Xu Wenlong shook his head, sighed and said to himself: "This little girl, when has it been, she still loves to play with her temper so much." What can you do about it? Isn't there a good way to do it early? Is it still your turn to say it now? Oh no, her backpack was picked up from a pirate, so she probably can't have a grenade in it! It's a great way to catch fish. When I opened the safety and threw it into the sea, it hit the ground with a large area, and the lifeboat couldn't fit ...... by then."

"Look, that's my way!" Just as Xu Wenlong was guessing left and right while picking the meat, Yu Wenli's slightly angry voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and then two objects appeared in front of him. A golden glitter, dazzling; A dark and shiny, sharp one.

"Fishhooks? Dagger? Oh, my God! When Xu Wenlong saw it, he couldn't help but stand up, grabbed the dagger in Yu Wenli's hand, and said in an irrepressible ecstatic tone, "Dagger? Oh my God, you're back! Well, we don't have to worry about getting lost anymore! ”

Yu Wenli saw that Xu Wenlong was only rubbing the dagger and completely ignoring the real treasure, the goldfish hook, so she said with a calm face: "Fish hook!" Don't you want a fishhook? Fish hooks are our lifesavers! What's the use of that dagger of yours? You can't eat it as food or drink it as water, is it worth being so stupid! ”

"You don't understand," Xu Wenlong reversed the dagger and pointed to the delicate compass on the handle, "With it, whether it is day or night, or cloudy, rainy or foggy, we don't have to worry about deviating from the course at sea, and we can move forward boldly and with confidence." Of course, the fish hook is also very important to provide us with the necessary food! It's just your fishhook...... You hook ......."

Yu Wenli pursed her mouth and replied with a displeased face: "Not bad! It is Zhou Jiuhua's baby prize, I stole it back from him! Because it's yours! What do you think? Doesn't talking count? You want to scold me again, don't you? Hmph, if I knew I wouldn't take it out, I wouldn't take it out if I was killed! After saying that, she turned her face aside angrily, and her chest had been shaking, and she was very angry.

Xu Wenlong looked at the golden hook with the thickness of his fingers, and sighed in his mouth and said, "That's what I said, but it belongs to someone else after all." But things have come to this point, and I can't care so much about it, so I can only borrow it for the time being, and leave everything for later. ”

Yu Wenli shrugged her nose, put on a very disdainful look and said, "Hmph, fake serious." Use it, where is there so much messy reason! ”

Xu Wenlong accidentally obtained the dagger, and the endless worries in his heart were temporarily alleviated, and he didn't care about Yu Wenli's cynicism, and completely regarded it as a gust of sea breeze blowing in his ears. He squinted at the zippered backpack and muttered, then crouched down and quickly picked up the flesh with his dagger. With this handy tool, the speed of meat removal is much faster. Whether it was digging and peeling, or chopping and chopping, he was much more handy, so in just a few moments, a large puddle of minced meat was piled up under his feet.

Yu Wenli was bored, and she was so thirsty and hungry that she wanted to continue to exercise her ability to eat raw fish, but she was frightened, and her stomach was especially tumbling. wanted to chat with Xu Wenlong to divert her attention, but the other party kept focusing on picking meat with a cold face, and didn't look at herself, which made her very depressed and even more annoyed. He saw that Xu Wenlong was picking the meat, and from time to time he glanced at the bulging backpack with complicated eyes. She frowned and immediately guessed what he was thinking, so she blinked her eyes and smiled and asked him, "Do you really want to know what Pokémon are in that huge bag?" ”

"Of course you want to know, if you will." Xu Wenlongtou said without raising his head, turned the dagger upside down and dug out a fish eye, threw it into his mouth, and bit out a mouth full of juice, which made him feel much more comfortable in an instant.

Yu Wenli glanced at Xu Wenlong, fiddled with the corners of her clothes and said, "Actually, it's nothing, except for the two cans and a magazine full of bullets, the rest is ...... It's ......"

"It's the gold, silver, and jewelry that you painstakingly took from someone else." Xu Wenlong said in his mouth, stretched out his hand and subconsciously touched the "This is OK" diamond ring that was placed in his pocket and never left. Touching it, his heart couldn't help but feel a sharp pain. The diamond ring is still there, but where is the person who wears it? And what kind of inhuman torture will they endure? Oh my God, this sadistic and horrible question is hard to think about!

Yu Wenli's face was hot, and she replied unconvinced: "Anyway, it's all stolen from bad guys and villains, anyway, if I don't steal, I will be robbed by pirates in the end." By the way, we don't have any guns, shouldn't that magazine be thrown away too? ”

"Don't throw it away, don't throw everything away, maybe it will be of great use when the time comes." Xu Wenlong buried his head in cleaning up the minced meat. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he quickly took out the "This is something to be treated" in his pocket, cherished it and handed it to Yu Wenli and said, "This is what I bought for your sister Shiqi, put it in your bag so as not to lose it." ”

Yu Wenli took the necklace and wanted to squeeze Xu Wenlong well, but because she was angry, she didn't bother to take care of him, so she just stuffed it into her bag casually, pouted and replied angrily: "Okay, don't throw it if you say don't throw it." ”

It didn't take long for Xu Wenlong to clean the meat of the entire sea fish, leaving only a solid fish skeleton. He washed the dagger with seawater, carefully inserted it into his waist, threw away the fish skeleton, briefly cleaned the fishy lifeboat, set up the oars and began to rock the boat. While shaking, he said to the sullen Yu Wenli: "Eat some canned food and drink a little more water." Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome if you are hungry. If you really want to get used to raw fish, you might as well start by eating canned beef. Take a bite of beef and then take a bite of raw fish, which can also be eaten with raw fish dipped in beef juice. In this way, you will slowly get used to the fishy smell until you are completely used to it, and you will no longer vomit whether you smell it or eat it. ”

"yes, that's a good idea! Why didn't I think of that? Yu Wenli was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately took out a hall of canned food from her bag, eager to try to eat raw fish with beef.
