Chapter 283 Instantly Turns into a Fish-Catching Scene
Long Chuqing and Yang Yi were squatting on the ice of the river at this moment.
Long Chuqing tried poking the ice in front of him with a wooden stick, but couldn't break it; the ice was still quite thick.
"What are you two doing squatting by the river? Be careful not to fall in!" Yang Jing shouted from the bank to the two people below.
"It's alright, bro. This ice is quite thick, and there's a fish frozen underneath. It's pretty big, and we were just about to get it out," Yang Yi replied, turning around. "I reckon there are a lot more fish under the ice!"
After hearing Yang Yi's words, the group of people came down with curiosity.
The group approached the two women and looked at the ice, discovering that there was indeed a fish frozen inside.
Yang Jing carefully examined the ice surface, estimated its thickness, and said, "How about I throw a few punches to break the ice and grab the fish?"
"No way, if the ice cracks completely, we won't be able to stand properly," Yang Yi said, rejecting Yang Jing's suggestion.
Even if you break the ice after they've all left so you don't fall in, the ice will be completely shattered by then, making it difficult to stand.
After listening, Yang Jing considered the matter and realized that he should not act so rashly. Although the water was not deep, the weather was so cold that if he got his clothes wet, he would suffer.
"If you want to catch fish, you can go to the fishpond in front," Nangong Ming said, pointing towards the pavilion. "The fish in the fishpond are not only big, but there are also many of them!"
Yang Yi waved her hand: "That's no fun! What's the difference between catching fish in a fishpond and buying them at the market? When you come out to play, you have to catch wild ones."
After listening to Yang Yi's words, Nangong Ming pondered for a while and found them quite interesting.
It felt like a picnic, and you had to collect some supplies and ingredients yourself on site.
Long Chuqing turned around and asked, "Does anyone have a dagger?"
Aoyama, standing to the side, said, "I have it, I have it..."
As he spoke, he pulled a short knife from his boot and handed it to Long Chuqing.
"Here... Miss Long, be careful, this dagger is still quite sharp."
Long Chuqing saw that the dagger was pulled from Qingshan's boots, and she felt that it carried some indescribable scent.
She frowned and said disdainfully, "Never mind... give me the sword from your waist! I suddenly feel that a sword is more handy."
"Oh, okay..."
Aoyama tucked the dagger back into his boot and then drew the sword from his waist and handed it to her.
Long Chuqing gripped the sword hilt with both hands, poured his inner strength into the longsword, and then plunged it into the ice next to the fish.
She could sense that the ice wasn't very thick.
Long Chuqing pulled his sword out again, preparing to pierce the ice around the fish multiple times to get it out.
Xiao Han grasped her wrist and said gently, "Chu Qing, let me do it. You go and wait over there."
"Okay, be careful." Long Chuqing handed the sword to Xiao Han and stepped aside.
Xiao Han channeled his inner force into the sword and thrust it repeatedly around the fish's body. Finally, he struck the center of the ice with the hilt, causing the ice encasing the fish to shatter instantly.
Since the fish's head was facing down, it appeared that its head was not frozen, indicating that it was still alive.
As the ice shattered, it thrashed about a few times, then tried to take the opportunity to dive into the water.
Seeing this, Xiao Han tapped the fish with the back of his knife, and the fish became immobile. Qingshan stepped forward and caught the fish.
"Hehe... I didn't expect this fish to still be alive, and it's quite big too!" Qingshan said, holding up the fish and grinning.
Even if the fish are still alive at this moment, they will freeze to death in no time after leaving the water.
Nangong Ming also found a sword. He searched on the ice nearby for a while and found a fish that had been frozen.
He used the same method to catch the fish, but the fish he caught was completely frozen.
Nangong Ming held the fish high in his hand, showing it to everyone: "Look at this fish... how big is it! Haha..."
"I'll go get one too," Yang Jing said, not wanting to be outdone, and started looking for fish on the ice.
"Everyone, please be careful. Some parts of the ice are not very thick," Long Chuqing carefully reminded them.
The bronze-green figure peered down into the newly broken ice, seemingly trying to see if any fish were still swimming below.
The water in the ice mouth was still a bit murky, making it difficult to see clearly.
Qingshan placed the fish that Xiao Han had knocked unconscious on a rock on the shore, then returned to the ice surface to search for another one, clearly intending to catch one himself.
I don't know when it started, but the trip turned into a fishing catching event.
Everyone rolled up their sleeves to catch fish, completely oblivious to the icy coldness of the water.
How should I put it! A group of people dressed in bulky clothes, catching fish around the nearly dried-up river in the dead of winter, actually evoked a sense of carefree playfulness reminiscent of their childhood.
Soon after, they all reaped the rewards.
Long Chuqing washed her hands in the icy water at the broken opening, then carefully stepped back to the shore on the ice.
She found a clean rock, lifted her cloak, sat down, and watched them continue catching fish.
Xiao Han followed her back to the shore and sat down next to her.
Long Chuqing turned to look at Xiao Han, about to ask: Aren't you going to continue catching them?
Suddenly she remembered that he didn't like these things at all; he was just going along with her to join in the fun.
She just smiled at him.
Xiao Han looked at Long Chuqing's hands, which were red from the cold, and asked, "Are you cold? Your hands are all red from the cold."
Long Chuqing looked down at her hands, then shook her head: "It's not that cold, I just washed my hands, they'll warm up in a bit."
Nangong Ming and Yang Yi walked over, each carrying two fish, followed by Liu Yu, who was also carrying a fish.
"Yo..." Nangong Ming walked up to the two of them and glanced at the fish lying on the side. "Looks like you've had quite a haul!"
There were seven fish next to Xiao Han, but since they were five people, Nangong Ming and his group had caught more.
"You've caught so many!" Long Chuqing stood up and looked at their hands. "More than we've caught."
“But the ones you caught are bigger than the ones we have,” Yang Yi said.
She put the fish on the ground and said, "I'm going to wash my hands first."
Nangong Ming also put down the fish he was holding. "I'll go wash it too."
Yang Jing also walked back from the ice, carrying two fish with him.
"It's too cold to catch fish." Yang Jing put the fish he was holding on the ground.
"Everyone, what should we do with this fish?" Nangong Ming walked back, shaking the water off his hands, and said, "Should we build a fire here and roast it, or take it back to braise or steam it?"
Yang Jing stated, "I have no objection, whatever you want... it's up to you to handle it!"
Nangong Ming turned his head and asked, "What do you two think, Your Highness and Miss Long?"
Xiao Han looked at Long Chuqing: "Chuqing, what's your decision...?"
Nangong Ming and Yang Jing also looked at her.
"me!"
Why is everyone looking at her? Let's just leave the decision to her!
