Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 293: Bracken? Eel?

The further they got to the north of the city, the worse the road conditions became. This was the shortcut that Li Junguang led everyone to take. The path was bumpy and the mountain road was rugged. Lin Zhian was so bumpy that he even vomited because he didn't want to ride the carriage.

"Oh my god, I never thought the roads here would be blocked to this extent. When can we get to North City? I can't stand it."

Lin Zhian sat under a tree to cool off and couldn't help but complain.

It was noon, and the sun was scorching. The horse and donkey carts that had set out at the beginning had dispersed and everyone was going their own way. When they passed by a stream, some people decided to rest here first, so that the horses and donkeys could also rest for a while and eat some grass to fill their stomachs.

Wu Mingshi fanned himself with a fan and sat cross-legged beside Lin Zhian. "I heard from Junyong's elder brother that we will be fine once we get out of this journey."

"That's good. Otherwise I'm afraid that I'll be full and vomit it all out. That would be terrible." Lin Zhian felt relieved and took a sip of water.

Looking at the two people standing in the stream holding branches, he asked, "Qinghan, Junyong, how many fish have you caught?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qinghan quickly speared the happy little fish swimming in the water.

The stream water is so clear that you can see the bottom. You can see the fish and shrimps swimming happily at the bottom of the water. They are very sensitive and hide in the cracks of the rocks when they hear any movement.

"That's great. I finally caught one." Li Junyong said with emotion.

The fish that Gu Qinghan caught was quite average, and he was a little dissatisfied. "Let's change places. The fish here are too small."

He threw the fish on the branch onto the shore, "Public Security, take care of it."

"Ah? I don't know how to do it? How about I watch it for you?" Lin Zhian ran to the shore and replied. Seeing the fish thrown to the shore that was dead but not dead, he didn't know how to start.

"I'll do it, Qinghan, you just catch a few more fish." Wu Mingshi said, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the small knife he carried with him, and walked to the stream to process the fish.

"Okay." Gu Qinghan picked up the branch, waded across the stream, and walked in another direction.

"I didn't expect that Mingshi you would be able to do this." Lin Zhian was a little surprised and moved forward to see Wu Mingshi's skillful handling of the matter.

"It's very simple. Zhian, I'll teach you." Wu Mingshi saw Lin Zhian's eager look and spoke up.

"Okay."

Lin Zhian readily agreed. He couldn't always rely on others and he had to learn some skills himself. This was what his mother had specifically told him when she knew he was going to North City.

After the simple small fish was processed, Lin Zhian cleaned the fish inside and out and skewered it on branches. Wu Mingshi picked up dry branches, started a fire on the shore, made a simple rack, and placed the skewered fish on it.

……

"Xiqing, are there many fish here?" Li Junyong followed Gu Qing and shouted to another place. He had just arrived here, but he didn't expect that there was already someone here, and it was an acquaintance.

A tall tree grows on the shore, with its roots extending to the stream. The environment is quiet and the breeze is cool.

Several people sat together under the tree, talking and laughing.

"Yes, we are roasting them." Luo Xiqing replied while standing in the stream holding a branch.

Li Junyong also saw the smoke rising from under the tree and sniffed the aroma of grilled fish wafting over.

"Qinghan, are you going to stay overnight in the village ahead?"

Feng Juesheng walked over with a fish in his hand and asked.

"What do you think?"

Gu Qinghan didn't think Feng Juesheng would come over specifically to ask nonsense questions.

"I think we should hurry up and get to North City as soon as possible. I'm afraid something bad will happen if we delay for a long time."

Feng Juesheng followed Li Junguang because he saw that he was taking a shortcut, so that everyone would have enough time to rest and adapt to the environment.

"I agree with you. We have no intention of staying overnight in the village."

After all, if you come across water on the road, you can replenish the water in your water bag, so there is no need to go into the village and bother others.

"Okay, that's good."

Feng Juesheng nodded and walked towards the shore.

"Wow, this side is indeed better than the previous one." Li Junyong thrust a sharpened branch straight into the bottom of the water. When he picked it up, he saw a fat fish stuck on the branch, its tail still flapping, splashing water all over Li Junyong's face.

"You're lucky." Luo Xiqing on the other side couldn't help but praise, looked at the small fish he had caught on the branch, and sighed.

"Of course, this is my first fish of the day." Li Junyong carried a branch and walked to the shore. He found a place and started to process the fish on the spot. He dug a hole and buried the processed fish entrails.

"Qinghan, I'll go over first, wait a minute..."

Li Junyong raised his eyes and shouted at Gu Qinghan, his face suddenly changed and he shouted hurriedly.

"Qinghan, be careful, behind you..."

The breeze caused ripples on the water surface. The water level here was obviously deeper than the previous one and had reached Gu Qinghan's little feet.

Gu Qinghan now came to a place surrounded by water plants. There was a big rock next to it. The stream water was icy cold under the shade of the trees.

There were several big fish hiding in the cracks of the rocks. Gu Qinghan raised a branch and was about to spear one of the fish in the crack.

He didn't notice at all that there was a long, twisting body swimming towards him from behind.

"Come up quickly, there is a snake behind you!" Feng Juesheng also noticed something unusual and quickly picked up a stone and threw it in the direction of Gu Qinghan to remind him.

When Gu Qinghan heard the sound, he quickly looked back and thrust the branch in his hand into the body.

It doesn't look like a snake. Its surface is smooth and it doesn't have snake scales.

"Ding, you have successfully captured an eel, and you will be rewarded with 100 points."

Ok?

Where did the sound come from?

Eel?

Gu Qinghan suddenly heard a very strange sound. He looked at the people on the shore and found that no one looked unusual.

That means only you can hear it.

So it is possible that this is the mysterious treasure for making wishes.

On the other side, Xu Yuan, who was picking wild vegetables in the forest, also heard the sudden reminder sound. Looking at a fern in his hand, his brain fell into deep thought.

Should I say that I was hallucinating?

Is this an eel?

"Xiaojiu, did you speak just now?"

"OK."

"A yellow eel worth one hundred points?" Xu Yuan shook the fern in his hand and asked uncertainly.

"Oh, Master, don't forget, you have helpers!"

Xiaojiu couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh, by the way, Master, Xiaojiu is here to remind you that you can communicate with each other remotely."

"Oh."

I am indifferent about making a wish. It is not free anyway, so there is no need.

"Make a wish?"

Chen Biyun looked at the bracken nearby and called out to Xuyuan. When she heard no reply, she walked over and patted Xuyuan on the shoulder, "Xuyuan, what are you thinking about?"

Xuyuan came back to his senses, "Nothing, I was wondering if there are other ways to cook bracken?"

"Did you think of it?"

"not at all."
