Chapter 5 Lazy Fish

Rukia nodded, and walked over to the side and sat down.

"Look, I'll teach you how to weave a rope, which may be of some use in the future." Murong Xuechen said

"First of all, tear off all the fibers from the palm fronds. Then take a bunch of fibers, tie one end together and fix it, then evenly divide it into three strands, put the left strand in the middle, then put the right strand on it, and then wrap the current left strand around the middle and put it in the middle, and so on, continue to wrap it, so that a rope is done. ”

Murong Xuechen smiled and gestured to Rukia.

Looking at the demonstration of the man in front of her, Rukia felt a throbbing inexplicably, and she couldn't tell why she felt this way. It just felt like there was a thread in the dark that bound the two of them together.

"What's wrong, Rukia?" Looking at Rukia in a daze, Murong Xuechen couldn't help but speak up.

"Ah, ah~, it's nothing, I understand everything, and then what? If you want to fish, you can't just have a boat. ”

"Don't worry, I'll cut two harpoons out of thin bamboo later. If you're tired, close your eyes and take a break, don't worry, I'm here, no problem! ”

Murong Xuechen mistakenly thought that Lu Qiya was tired, after all, she had only eaten half a bun in the past two days, and it was natural that she would be tired.

Rukia smiled, "You're too worried, if I was so tired so easily, I would have collapsed a long time ago." ”

In this way, with the division of labor and cooperation of the two, the construction of the bamboo raft was quickly completed.

"Rukia, you wait on the raft, and I'll dive underwater to see if there's any prey." When paddling somewhere where the water was calm and crystal clear, Murong Xuechen turned his head and said to Rukia.

Then a fierce man plunged into the water and took a simple harpoon and headed to the bottom.

As soon as Murong Xuechen entered the water, he felt a biting cold, which made him shiver, and muttered, "Obviously the temperature outside is quite high, why is it so cold in the water?" ”

He took a deep breath and dived into the water, then slowly swam to the bottom, because there might be prey there.

The underwater world is completely different from the terrestrial world. The dark blue water envelops your body, and a seemingly non-existent pressure rushes towards you from all directions, making you can't help but fear.

About twenty seconds later, Murong Xuechen reached the bottom of the water, forcibly endured the discomfort in his eyes, and glanced around for any immobile fish.

As he swept over a small pile of sand, his eyes lit up, for he saw that something seemed to move there, and it was a clear sign of prey.

Holding back the ecstasy in his heart, Murong Xuechen cautiously approached there and then thrust it violently.

"This feeling is inserted." Murong Xuechen didn't have time to take a closer look before he hurriedly floated, because he couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Poof, ha, ha~" After surfaced, Murong Xuechen stretched out a hand and put it on the bamboo raft, and then was pulled up by Lu Qiya.

"Xuechen, isn't this a lazy fish, you can actually catch it?" Rukia stared at the creature at the end of the harpoon, obviously surprised.

"Lazy fish?" The corners of Murong Xuechen's mouth twitched, looking at the pale yellow fish on the harpoon that was struggling weakly, thinking that this name was also appropriate.

"I've heard people in the fish market say that lazy fish is delicious and nutritious, so it's a rare and good product." Speaking of this, Rucia paused, "But in recent years, because the lazy fish is too easy to catch, no one has caught it for a long time." I didn't expect that today we could be again... ”

"Gollum~~" An inopportune voice interrupted Rukia's words.

"Just now, the sound just now was not made by me, yes, it was the sound made by the lazy fish when it was hungry." Rukia blushed in defense.

Murong Xuechen: Oops, this is too cute.

"Since the lazy fish is hungry, then let's send it on the road with a bonfire with great mercy~"

"Ahh Since you've said so, it's not like I'm out of the question. ”

Prompted by hunger, the two soon lit a fire, and after Murong Xuechen cleaned his internal organs, he used a small branch to run through the lazy fish, set it on the fire and began to barbecue.

Looking at the green grass around him, listening to the passing of the Chunfu River, and smelling the delicious aroma of the grilled fish, Murong Xuechen had the idea of settling here, but he also knew that this could only be an imagination, before his strength reached the captain level, he could die at any time in this world, how could he have the leisure to go to the mountains and rivers.

Rukia sat obediently on the sidelines, rubbing her hands together, apparently fascinated by the smell of grilled fish.

After a short time, the fresh grilled fish came out of the oven, Murong Xuechen put it on a large stone, then took out a woodcutter and slowly scraped the fish meat off the bones.

I don't know what it's like to kill a fish with a slashing knife, so I'll try it if I have the chance. Murong Xuechen suddenly had a curious idea, if this was known by the Grim Reapers of the Jingling Court, I am afraid that they would be so angry that they vomited blood, they were usually too busy communicating with the Slashing Knife, and there would be people who wanted to use it to kill fish.

"Na, na~ Xuechen, can you eat it, can you eat it?" Rukia's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be a gleam at the corners of her mouth.

"Of course you can, give it, you can eat these meats as you like, just be careful of scalding~"

"Uh-huh." Rukia reached out with her left hand and grabbed a handful of meat and shoved it into her mouth.

"Uh-huh." But it was burned because it was too urgent.

"Really, they're not children anymore, why are you in such a hurry."

Murong Xuechen looked at Rukia who was puffing and puffing in front of her, angry and funny. Reach out and hand over a bowl of water, "Come, take a sip to cool down." My tongue must be hurting now. You can't be in such a hurry in the future, no one will grab it from you, as long as you want to eat, I will catch it for you. ”

"Thanks," Rukia took the bowl and soaked her tongue in the water, revealing a grim look.

Murong Xuechen turned his head, pretended not to see, and slice the last bit of fish and meat down.

After putting a little fish meat in his mouth and tasting it, Murong Xuechen couldn't help frowning, "The meat of this lazy fish is indeed very delicious, yes, but if there is no seasoning, it is still too light." ”

"Seasoning... It's the kind of stuff that only rich people can afford, and we'll talk about it when we have money later. Anyway, I thought that the grilled fish was already delicious now. There's no need to add anything more. Anyway, Xuechen, where did you learn this fish grilling technique, and you can just bake it to a golden color. Rukia asked, shrinking her cute little nose.

Of course, Murong Xuechen wouldn't answer that this was a technique honed when he was cooking alone on Earth, but just shirked and said, "It's all talent, hahaha." ”

"Really?" Rukia was just a whim, and after asking, she buried her head in eating, but this time she licked and ate it slowly, obviously scared out of the shadows by what had just happened.

A fish was divided between the two of them.

"Now, Xuechen, let's catch a few more fish later, so that we don't have to come here every day to catch fish, and the bamboo raft and harpoon should be hidden, so as not to be picked up."

Murong Xuechen was just about to say "Okay", but he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from behind.

"Brother Tiger, I've found that kid! The little brother who was holding Wangcai turned around and shouted.

Oh no, Murong Xuechen looked at the twenty or so people who were approaching behind him and sighed secretly.

"Xuechen, what now? Let's run! Rukia looked a little flustered.

"Even if we run away, as long as the dog is alive, we will still be found. Then just don't do it, get rid of that dog and run away. Murong Xuechen said with a sharp expression. Rukia, you're small, and the grass is pretty tall here, so I'll get their attention later, and you take the opportunity to get the dog close and harpoon it to death. ”

"But, if you don't run now, will it be too late later?" Rukia asked, a little worried.

"Even if it's too late to run now, Murong Xuechen has to fight for it, and after it will cause chaos, the two of us will run away from there. He pointed in the direction of Pingyang Forest, "It's daytime, and there shouldn't be any danger in entering the outer layer." And those people also know the danger there, and they will definitely not chase after them. As long as we get out of the way from another place. ”

"Well, I believe in you! Snow dust. Rukia reached out and clenched the harpoon tightly in her palm, then crawled towards the dog.

"Yo, what are the big brothers looking for? is so exciting, there is something to say~" Murong Xuechen took a few steps forward, pretending not to know.

"Huh, stinking bitch, where's that accomplice of yours? I don't have time to play with you, so call her out. Or I'll smash you into patties with a mace? Brother Tiger waved his mace and asked loudly.

"She, she's already gone home, what's the matter, just tell me. I'll help you get that across. ”

"Brother Tiger, this kid is stalling for time, don't talk nonsense with him, just do it, I think since she is nearby, it means that the female accomplice must be nearby." The profiteer stepped forward and said, "I have already told Brother Tiger all the things you insulted Brother Hu, you will all die!" ”

After speaking, he grabbed the kitchen knife in his hand and rushed forward.

"I didn't insult the Soul Gang, I'm afraid only you know it in your heart." Murong Xuechen said lightly. "Isn't it just a few buns, do you need to make such a big move? You're so stingy, aren't you afraid of having one less son? ”

This is obviously a sarcasm for him, the owner of the bun shop lost the function of fertility after being kicked that day.

The profiteer blushed, and hurriedly turned back to Brother Tiger and said, "Brother Tiger, don't listen to this stinky boy's nonsense." My devotion to you is evident! I did hear their audacity and wanton provocation of the majesty of the Soul Gang before I came to tell you. ”

"Okay, I don't care what things are, you're going to die today anyway. Get ready! After speaking, Brother Hu rushed forward, intending to beat Murong Xuechen into a sieve with a stick.
