Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but be glad that he hadn't stayed in Splendid City last night, otherwise he might not have been able to get out of the city gate this morning. 35xs

For the sake of prudence, you can't go into the city to stay overnight, and it's best not to take the official road.

Barren mountains and mountains are not so easy to stay in, he sighed. This morning, he met a black bear in the mountains, and he wanted to make him a Chinese meal, thanks to the fast running horse.

In the afternoon, he went to the stream to fetch water and put in a plaster.

A stream of sweetness soaked the spleen into the abdomen, and forcibly pressed the unbearable itch down, in exchange for an indescribable refreshment.

Finally freed from the torment, the boy breathed a sigh of relief and quietly opened the bamboo basket to look at the cat.

It coiled into a white ball, sleeping soundly, and looked heartless.

But he understood that when Chitose refined the ointment, he specially added anti-itching medicine.

He lightly picked up the bamboo basket and set out on the road again.

......

After some time, the white cat moved its nose and woke up from its deep sleep.

She bared a row of tiny fangs, yawned lazily, and saw the sun slanting in the west through the foliage for the first time, and the campfire burning in the clearing for the second, and the kebabs of fish set up by the fire.

She was awakened by the scent.

The six fish strung on the branches, the largest one was a palm's length, and after careful gills and scales, the skin of the fish had been roasted hard, and there was a suspicious powder on it, which was fragrant.

She knew that it was the spice that the boy had bought from Splendid City. Flash Dance

The cat jumped out of the bamboo basket, stretched out first, and then found a small tree to rub its paws, and then Shi Shiran walked to the fire: "Do you still have time to catch fish?" and caught six in one go, this kid had a lot of fun?

Fishing was a lot of work, and he was so busy on the road that he certainly didn't have much time to stay. But today, as he passed by the brook, he was moved.

In late autumn, the water level of Linxi drops, and the riverbed is separated into large and small puddles by stones and silt. The section he passed through was extremely slow, and the sediment was silted up, forming several layers of natural ponds.

The water was clear, and the boy saw the leisurely figure of the fish hiding in the cracks of the stones.

The fish here are the largest, but the pond is two feet square, the water depth is at least three feet, and there are many stones, and the fish in the stream are flexible and infested in the stone gaps, and it is impossible to catch them with bare hands.

Thinking of the white cat sleeping in the basket, he looked at the terrain and his brows furrowed.

The boy came up with a simple solution: drain the water.

Above this natural pond, a protruding rock blocks most of the stream, leaving only a gap the size of a millstone. He first cut in the mud and sand to completely plug the gap, so that the river found another outlet and was diverted to other places.

He jumped into the pool again, felt two stones and used the dog-planing method, and cut a drain at the lowest point.

The bottom is all fine and soft stream sand, which can be easily dug up. 35xs

The water level immediately began to drop, and the larger the opening, the faster the water in the pool drained.

That is, in a quarter of an hour's work, the stream in the pool has reached the bottom, and no matter how flexible the fish is, they can only flutter back and forth in the shallow water.

Of course, he couldn't say any of this, and the white cat didn't expect him to answer the question, just stared intently at the grilled fish: "Cooked, cooked!"

Just as the heat was right, the boy took off three skewers of grilled fish and stuck them in the sand in front of the white cat, allowing it to feast on large pieces.

Tearing open the skin of the fish, a puff of white steam puffs out with the fragrance. The brook fish is the most tender, and there is no earthy smell of the river fish, as long as it is smeared with salt and sprinkled with a little spice, it is a rare delicacy in the world.

One person and one cat are all happy to eat.

Influenced by past habits, boys have always been swept away in eating. After he finished nibbling on two fish, he suddenly saw the white cat stop eating, hanging its head and making a strange noise.

Like a cough, like a sneeze. With each sound, it shrank a little.

What's wrong?

The boy hurriedly lay down to see the clues.

At the same time, the white cat also looked up and glared at him, and her beautiful rippled eyes were full of anger: "It's catching me!"

Ah, what?

He didn't understand for a while, the white cat coughed twice, and Chitose's voice came out, like gritting teeth: "Fish bones...... "The fish is too fragrant, and the cat is too hungry, so if you don't pay attention, you will ......

The boy grinned slowly, but under the vicious gaze of the white cat, the arc did not dare to rise.

Dare to laugh, dare to laugh and scratch your face!

He could only cough lightly, leaned closer, and motioned for the cat to open its mouth.

Chitose was upset.

It's too unreserved to open her mouth so wide for people to see, she's a noble Chitose-sama!

But cat's claws are nowhere near as nimble as a human hand, and she can't pull out that damn fish bone herself!

I'm so angry, she eats so fast!

The boy saw her annoyance and gently stroked the cat's head as a sign of comfort. The white cat was in a depressed mood and didn't care about his rudeness.

Driven by pain, she obediently opened her mouth.

The boy leaned in less than half a foot and took a closer look at it in the light of day.

"See?" her voice was muffled, "Hurry up and pull it out for me." ”

I saw that just behind the beautiful little white tooth of Yishui, there was a fish bone that pierced deep into the wall of the mouth, and it hurt to look at it.

The fish bone is quite thick, it should be the main spine of the stream fish, the only thing to be thankful for is that it did not really penetrate deep into the throat, otherwise it would be a big problem.

The boy couldn't help but shake his head.

You're too unprofessional to be a cat.

Chitose was irritable: "Isn't it easy to pull out?"

You can't pull it out with your bare hands. The boy thought for a moment and took the awl from the sac. This is the self-defense thing he brought from Yicheng, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

The cone head is ground very fine and sharp, and most importantly, since it was originally used for drilling, the cone has a small, concave barb for threading.

Now all the boy has to do is to jam the fish bone with a barb and pull it out.

It's easy to think of, but it's difficult to operate. That row of fangs was too much of a hindrance, and besides, the light in the forest was not good.

Luckily, his hands are steady.

"Okay?" the white cat urged him.

“......”

How long would she have to open her mouth so stupidly? "Hey, can you hurry up?"

“......”

"Have you come out, don't rub it off, hurry up!"

“......”

"You're still not a man?

The boy retracted his hand, the tip of the cone hooked into a very thin fish bone.

The white cat breathed a sigh of relief, clicked his mouth twice, and licked a little bit of blood, and fish.

The boy didn't look at her for a moment, and Chitose suddenly remembered, did this kid smell fishy when he got so close just now?

Ah, damn it, shame on you!

The more she thought about it, the more irritable she became, and a wave of anger poured on him: "Who told you to grill the fish? This fish has too many bones, and it is not suitable for eating at all!"
