Chapter 449: True Feelings and Real Scenes-Ice Fields (5)
Judging from the time, Xu Ran estimated that it had been almost two and a half hours since he entered the world of the 'Ice Field', and if he came to the 'Ice Field' at 8 o'clock in the morning, then he would have to have a 10:30 a.m. appearance now, and it should not be a long time before these original residents had lunch.
Xu Ran now has to think about how to communicate well with the residents here, so that he can also have a hot meal and get decent clothes and shoes to wear; As for whether he needs to get a place to rest, Xu Ran is still deliberating, he now doesn't know if he can be immersed in the river water when he sleeps, this needs to be experimented, if it is feasible, then he will choose to sleep in the river water, so that he can also be in the state of continuous exercise of the 'mental power shield' in his sleep.
For going to have a hot meal, or to get clothes, shoes, or even a place to rest, Xu Ran never thought about fooling around to eat, drink, and occupy for nothing, he was thinking about 'having something to exchange with others, at least not to let people suffer.' But with his current conditions, he felt that he really didn't have anything else to do with it except for finding a way to catch some fish.
So Xu Ran temporarily stopped paying attention to the fishing of the three teenagers, but retreated to a place they couldn't see and started his own fishing operation.
For Xu Ran, catching fish in the water is not a difficult task, but he doesn't want to catch the fish now, because then he has to think about how to store the caught fish, and Xu Ran's merchandise exchange plan is to wait until the minors come home for dinner, and then he will bring the fish to the door.
To this end, Xu Ran adopted the following workarounds: as long as he encountered fish during the rafting journey, he would use 'spiritual power commands' on them, so that the fish he encountered would always swim after him, and when he was ready to take the fish ashore, he would catch them together.
When Xu Ran wandered in the water for more than 20 minutes, there were already 13 fish swimming with his 'spiritual power shield'; these fish were big and small, the smallest one was one long at a glance, and the big one could be three times long; during this period, he also encountered smaller fish, but these smaller fish were directly ignored by Xu Ran; like that kind of big fish, they should have wanted to come and eat small fish, but once they were Xu Ran's Under the control of the spiritual power command, such a big fish did not have the selfish distractions of eating small fish, but consciously joined and followed Xu Ran's 'spiritual power shield' to swim in the group of fish, and everyone advanced and retreated together.
Then Xu Ran found out why someone wanted to say 'reality is very skinny', in the pile of fish that followed him, the first fish to follow him had already shown a little powerless, this fish would begin to swim on its side crookedly, and there was a posture of turning its belly; Xu Ran judged that this fish should not be tired of swimming, but should be fatigued by 'mental power command', it is estimated that under his continuous mental power command, the fish's brain is a little overwhelmed.
Now it is necessary to consider what to do with the fish that has been caught, and it is obvious that as time goes on, more fish will face the condition of turning their bellies, and the fish will no longer be able to direct it to walk; And in order to catch more fish as capital for equivalent exchange, he must have to drift around; As for this belly-turning fish, it does not affect its meat from being eaten, so it must also be used as its own harvest; But if you want to take such a fish away, you can't let it float in the water at will, or it will at least drift away.
What should be considered is what to do with the fish after catching, although he does not have fishing gear for the fish now, but he can put the dead fish into his 'spiritual power shield', so that not only the dead fish have a place to go, he can also use the dead fish's own weight to increase the weight inside the 'mental power shield', so that the 'mental power shield' can better dive into the river; it seems to be the best of both worlds.
It's just that in this way, he himself will have to mix and match with these dead fish in the 'spiritual power shield', and the dead fish are in the 'spiritual power shield', and they will inevitably have intimate contact with their own bodies.
He regretted it a little now, regretting that he hadn't thought of practicing this "skill of opening two unrelated 'psychic shields' at the same time", otherwise the problem would have been solved now; It would be perfect if this would be able to construct a small 'Mental Power Shield' within its own large 'Spiritual Power Shield'.
This question also broadened his thinking, since he can also use the 'Spiritual Power Rope Sleeve' externally at the same time after opening the 'Mental Power Shield', then the same reason, when he opens the 'Mental Power Shield', he can also have the possibility of operating another 'Mental Power Shield' at the same time; Mental ability', what he lacks now is only skill, Xu Ran plans to work hard in this aspect in the future, Xu Ran believes that this skill should be useful to himself.
In view of the current situation, Xu Ran came up with the following method, that is: "Find a piece of land that can catch the fish and pile it up, under this icy and snowy situation, the frozen fish will not affect the food, and when the time comes, you can take the frozen fish into a pile and take them away together, and exchange items with the residents here." ”
However, the place where the fish is piled up cannot be chosen on the other side of the river, after all, there are uneven cliffs along the river, and there are many unchanged places for stacking fish, so Xu Ran can only choose to have a farmhouse and stack it on this bank; And if you want to pile it up here, you must be far away from the place where these children work, otherwise let the three minors see themselves catching fish from the river one by one, not to mention whether their own shocking scene will make people unbearable, just this winter drifting and fishing in the water, Xu Ran feels that it is not elegant enough.
The place where Xu Ran finally chose to pile fish for himself was in the upstream direction of the three minors' fishing places, a mile away from them, when Xu Ran drifted all the way before, he felt that there was no one here, and there was no trace of the beast, if there were birds coming to patronize at that time, Xu Ran could be found in the river at any time, and it should be too late to rush over to save the scene temporarily; Therefore, Xu Ran is still confident in the safety of this place where fresh fish are stacked.
Xu Ran's method of stacking fish is to first lead the fish to the bank of the river located at the storage site, and then use the spiritual power to transfer the fish that follow him one by one to the land on the shore, before these fish are frozen with the ground, he will use the mental power to lift the fish off the ground, so that the water on the surface of the fish's body after being removed from the water surface is frozen or drained, and then put the treated fish on the snow and pile them up, so that they will not freeze together with the ice and snow on the ground, so as to facilitate their subsequent handling.
According to Xu Ran's estimate, he had accumulated 42 fish at about 12 noon; During this time, he didn't pay much attention to the minors, and he didn't know what their fishing harvest was during this period; But he at least noticed that the three minors hadn't started to go home for lunch; Xu Ran planned to wait for them to go home for dinner, and then bring their catch to visit one of them, because he didn't want to alarm too many people at the same time; However, since the minors still have no intention of leaving, Xu Ran can only continue to work as a fisherman, which can at least be more rewarding.
Maybe it's close to noon, and although there is no sun in the sky, the temperature will still be higher than in the morning, and the three minors will play games and have fun together when they stay in the snow and have nothing to do; When Xu Ran felt that it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, the three minors were still in high spirits and insisting on their field work, and they did not see anyone in the house coming out and shouting for them to go home; This made Xu Ran suddenly have a new idea about this matter: "They won't only eat two meals a day here." ”
Xu Ran, who had this idea, could only be helpless, he originally planned to exchange goods with the villagers here, and learn about the customs and customs here by the way, since they didn't have a meal here, they could only delay it.
At this time, there were already 60 fish that Xu Ran had piled up; Xu Ran's current fishing area is getting farther and farther away from the place where he stacks fish, so his fishing efficiency has also decreased; In order not to affect the fishing results of the three minors, Xu Ran chose to fish as far away from that side as possible, so his current drifting fishing range is further upstream of his fish stacking place.
When he returned with a few fish from the upstream area again, he heard a dog barking near the area where he stacked the fish, and Xu Ranxin said, "Oh no, how could this dog touch there." Xu Ran hurriedly accelerated the speed of rafting, and when he got closer to the area where the fish were piled, he saw that the three children and the dog were there, two of the teenagers were rummaging in the fish pile, and the youngest child was standing aside, talking to the two tall teenagers, without moving, and the dog was excitedly surrounding the tall boy, occasionally barking happily twice.
Xu Ran was still more than 100 meters away from the fish stacking site, and he continued to speed up and rush over there.
The reason why the three teenagers came here was because their dog smelled the abnormal fishy smell here, and then the dog was excited to come here; The three friends have not achieved results in fishing during this time, so at the suggestion of the tall boy, everyone made an appointment to come over and have a look, and on the way to come, they also said to each other that they could not go too far; So under the leadership of the dog, he came to the place where Xu Ran stacked fish.
The three friends were all shocked when they saw that there were a large number of frozen fish here, even if they didn't see it again, they knew that this situation was not like a natural formation, but someone specially piled it here; But they were surprised that there were other people in this place, according to their concept, there were only three families in the area.
Then they began to look around, but they could not find any sign of anyone else, and there was not even a single trace of an outsider on the snow nearby; And there is no shadow of boat activity on the river; Although they couldn't figure out why there were a bunch of fish here, the two tall teenagers had already come to their own conclusion: "Since this fish can't find its owner, it's an ownerless fish, which means that those who see it have a share." The youngest friend thought: "This fish must have an owner, and everyone shouldn't take other people's things casually." But he couldn't convince the other two friends.
As a result, there was a situation where two tall teenagers began to rummage through the fish pile, and the lower teenagers persuaded them; If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't remembered to take the fish basket when they came all the way, the scene would have been 'two tall teenagers filling the fish basket'.
When Xu Ran was still more than sixty meters away from the shore, the two tall teenagers had already completed their own fish picking work, these two people were one person hugged four big fish, the reason why they each only hugged four fish, because the two of them tried a few times, they really couldn't hug more, but the two of them were very peaceful, anyway, this place is not far from home, after sending it back, next time you can take the fish basket back to carry it.
The two of them also took the short boy to help them get the fish, but they themselves insisted that they should not take the fish here, and of course they would not help them get the fish; the two of them thought about it, but no one complained about the short boy anymore; the tallest boy found himself a helper, and he asked the dog to hold a slightly larger fish and go back together.
When Xu Ran saw that these teenagers were already planning to leave, he shouted loudly in the water: "Hey, hey." ”
Then the people on the shore heard the scream, and then they noticed Xu Ran who was drifting over in the water.
