Chapter Twenty-Eight: Please, Don't Show Up

"The fact that the moonhead is very congregated means that there must be more than one in the creek. I'm going to take a closer look, and if I'm not unlucky, I should be able to have a full meal at noon today. But before that, you need to block the downstream first. Ye Xuan said, returning to the stream.

The moon snakehead in the stream felt the abnormal fluctuation of the current, and immediately fled upstream in fright.

Ye Xuan didn't care about it, but planned to block the stream with stones on the bank of the river to prevent the moon snakehead from escaping downstream. As for running upstream into the pool, he wished that the snakehead had done so. Because of the characteristic of moon snakeheads, they like to jump, and once they enter the water where the current is impacted, they will actively jump off the water. They have an accessory respiratory organ in their gills that will not die for a short time, even on land.

It is based on this characteristic that he lets the upstream go alone. If the moonfish does slip into the pool, just stand on the shore and wait for it to jump on its own.

The whole river looked very wide, but it was not the rainy season, and the width of the stream was less than half a meter, so in just a few minutes, the stream was completely blocked by him.

Clapping his hands, Ye Xuan walked ashore and picked up the wooden stick, and said with a smile: "It's very simple to catch fish in this shallow stream, and you don't even need to go into the water. Ladies and gentlemen, now I will teach you a method of fishing in the stream. ”

He carried the stick and walked upstream, and at the same time said, "The method is very simple, just aim the stick at the fish in the water and smash it hard." Even if the stick doesn't hit the fish, there is a chance that the shock wave caused by the stick hitting the surface of the water will stun the fish for a short time. However, this method is limited to narrow, shallow streams, and the water depth is generally more than half a meter, so it is basically difficult to be effective. ”

As he spoke, he had already found the fleeing moonfish. I saw that it was the same as just now, after swimming more than ten meters away, it was not fleeing, as if it did not want to enter the waterhole in front of it.

Ye Xuan came to the edge of the stream with light movements, holding the wooden stick in both hands and raising it high, his eyes fixed on the slowly swimming moon snakehead. Holding his breath for a moment, the moonfish stopped swimming, and the muscles of his arms exploded, swinging his stick and striking hard at the water.

"Bang!"

The huge force splashed countless waters, and even caused a column of water to stir up on the surface of the water.

The next moment, as he said, although there was a stream blocking it, the wooden stick did not directly hit the moonfish, but the impact of the violent impact shook it a little dizzy, and the whole body of the fish continued to rise and fall with the turbulent current, and the body began to tilt, as if it was about to turn up its white belly. Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan hurriedly waved the wooden stick again, this time directly hitting the fish hard.

The terrifying power directly beat the moonfish to death with a stick, and a trace of blood flowed from the broken fish head.

"Haha!"

Ye Xuan laughed loudly, hurriedly stepped forward to scoop the moon snake out of the water, and said with a happy face: "See? There is no skill in this method, the only requirement is that the force of the stick must be high, otherwise it will not be enough to stun the fish. ”

"WTF?

"Jiao, it turns out that catching fish is so simple. ”

"Don't say it, kneel down first for respect!"

"That's the gap between VIP players and players who owe money, it's strong. ”

"666, I learned another trick, I feel like I can go out and pretend to be forced. ”

"Creation Zhong Shenxiu!"

"Anchor, please don't put on the show. ”

"In other words, the old people in the countryside used to say that the seven-star fish could not be eaten. ”

"God can't eat, and when there is a famine, you see if they eat or not. ”

"Anchor: Can't eat? ”

Successfully caught a moon snakehead, which made Ye Xuan very happy. Tucking the moon fish into his pocket, he continued to carry the stick and walked up the stream, his eyes constantly scanning the water. The water is so clear that there isn't even a single aquatic weed, so the fish in the stream have nowhere to hide and can be spotted at a glance.

Before he had gone far, Ye Xuan found a moon snakehead fish again, this moon snakehead fish was slightly smaller than the previous one. After suppressing the excitement in his heart, he held the wooden stick in both hands and concocted the same idea, using the same idea to pocket the moonfish.

After harvesting two moonfish in a row, his luck seemed to run out, and he walked to the waterhole and did not find a third. He knew that there were definitely more than two moonfish in the stream, and that the rest were probably hidden in a cave at the bottom of the pool, or in the lower reaches of the creek.

However, he is not a greedy man, and it will be a waste of time to continue to look for the moon snakehead.

Taking out the dagger, Ye Xuan squatted on the edge of the stream and began to process the two moon snakeheads. While cutting the belly of the fish with a dagger, he said: "Theoretically, all the fish can be eaten raw. Including fugu, as long as it is cooked properly, it can also be eaten raw. However, unless you are in a special environment where you can't make a fire, it is best to grill the fish honestly. Eating raw freshwater fish has a certain chance of contracting parasites. ”

After removing the internal organs, scraping off the scales and washing them, he stood up and began to collect firewood nearby.

On both sides of the river, there are many stout dead trees, which have been washed down from the top of the mountain by the floodwaters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can use this trick when you are collecting branches in the wild, and you can't tell if the branches are completely dry due to the special environment. Standing next to a dead tree, Ye Xuan reached out and grabbed a branch, and after breaking it hard, he said, "Hear that after the completely dry branch is broken, it will make a crisp clicking sound, and it can be broken easily." Wet trees, on the other hand, make a relatively dull sound and are not easy to break. ”

The firewood was quickly collected and piled up on the gravel ground by the stream. Ye Xuan sat on a stone, took out a piece of bamboo pipe from his backpack that he had brought in the morning, and began to use the fire saw method to make a fire.

With the experience of successfully starting a fire last night, this time his movements are more skilful and fluid. Under the methodical operation, black burning debris soon appeared in the groove of the bamboo piece, and the burning debris was pushed into the ignition, and Ye Xuan began to blow lightly.

It went very well, and as he continued to blow, the smoke grew louder and louder, and finally a flash of fire suddenly appeared, igniting the ignition object. Soon, a roaring bonfire appeared by the creek.

"Two fish, I'm going to cook soup and barbecue. Looking at the white fish in his hand, Ye Xuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The kettle he bought at the time was multi-functional, with an alloy coat on the outer layer of the kettle. When removed, this alloy jacket can be used as a small pot, which is very convenient for cooking.

Taking off the alloy coat and filling it with water, Ye Xuan used a dagger to cut the slightly smaller moon fish into seven or eight pieces and put it in, and then found two stones and put them by the bonfire to act as a temporary stove, and the small pot was placed between the two stones, so you don't have to worry about it, just let it cook slowly by itself.

After doing this, the remaining moon snakehead was directly stabbed through with a wooden stick and grilled on the campfire.
