The net in Xia Chuhe's hand suddenly sank.
The net has found someone!
Xia Chuhe felt a sense of relief and pulled the net back with all his might. Lu Dangui stuck a stone shovel into the ground for leverage, and together with Xia Chuhe, they pulled the fishing net toward the shore.
The net woven from willow branches couldn't withstand such turmoil; it fell apart before even reaching the shore.
Fortunately, after being dragged along by the fishing net for a while, the person in the net struggled a few times and was able to get ashore.
Fortunately, Du Zhen, Su Ye, and Lao Qin all managed to catch the fishing net.
Only Wang Yan was still dog-paddling in the water. But he wasn't afraid of the cold and eventually managed to get ashore.
Wang Yan: "How unlucky."
Wang Yan and Du Zhen were in relatively good condition, but Lao Qin and Su Ye were so frozen they could barely speak, huddled tightly together next to Wang Yan. If they couldn't get back to the snow hut anytime soon, they would surely freeze to death.
Before the group had run a few steps, the huge fish tail slammed onto the ground, sending them flying into the air.
When Xia Chuhe landed, he felt his body go limp, and his body fell like a ripe fruit, crashing into the hole with a thud.
Xia Chuhe, who had fallen flat on his backside, was in excruciating pain all over his body: "How come there's a hole here?!"
After Lu Danggui landed, he discovered that Xia Chuhe was missing, so he hurriedly ran and called her name.
Xia Chuhe replied, "I'm here!!"
Soon, several heads popped out of the hole.
It looks exactly like that "You're awake" meme.
Xia Chuhe was speechless: "Quickly think of a way to pull me up."
Du Zhen smiled slightly: "Why did we come up here? Let's go down!"
This hole that appeared out of nowhere is excellent; it's over two meters high, with a narrow entrance and a wide interior.
Several people nimbly jumped down.
Wang Yan urged Xia to hoe the rice: "Get some firewood."
Xia Chuhe reluctantly took out a few pieces of pine firewood. Wang Yan snapped his fingers on the firewood, and a wisp of flame fell, clinging to the firewood and slowly growing stronger.
Xia Chuhe: ...
It was installed.
But I really want to learn.
I wish she could snap her fingers and bring everything out of the farm someday.
Unfortunately, the superpower wasn't Xia Chuhe's; it was the cell phone's.
Xia Chuhe worried: "It's too strange that a hole appeared out of nowhere. Could there be something strange here?"
She hadn't forgotten how she got into the dungeon.
The earth dragon that suddenly emerged was terrifying.
Wang Yan waved his hand: "Most terrestrial creatures are afraid of fire. With me here, don't worry."
The fire was lit, the wind couldn't get into the cave, and the temperature quickly rose. Su Ye and Lao Qin, leaning against the fire, stopped shivering.
With Wang Yan's guarantee, Xia Chuhe put aside his worries and comfortably warmed himself by the fire. It was great that he didn't have to work tonight.
After grilling for a while, Xia Chuhe took out a fish: "Sister Zhen, can I borrow your dagger for a moment? I'll make you some sashimi."
Hearing about food, the group looked over curiously.
She really is a rich girl; she eats things I've never even heard of before.
Xia Chuhe's unintentionally established persona has been further solidified.
Wang Yan muttered, "Sashimi? Can it even taste good? I'd rather grill it for you; I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the cooking."
Xia Chuhe casually instructed him, "Brother Yan, get some clean water."
After getting to know Wang Yan, she found him to be quite an interesting person.
Wang Yan obediently used a stone mold to make snow and boil water.
Xia Chuhe processes fish.
Use a stone shovel to stun the fish by hitting its head; the shell on the fish's head is very hard.
Use the dagger at an angle to scrape the fish scales from its head; the scales are fine and difficult to remove.
Cut open the tail fin and remove the internal organs.
Finally, beheading.
Xia Chuhe thought to himself, "This fish head is really good. It looks like a turtle. It would be delicious if I could make fish head soup."
Everyone watched Xia Chuhe's every move intently, their expressions clearly saying—"You can do that too! I see!"
Su Ye: "So you have to scrape off the fish scales, no wonder it pricks your mouth when you eat it."
Wang Yan: "I'll treat the fish this way next time I grill it!"
Xia Chuhe asked in surprise, "Don't you scale the fish?"
Su Ye said shyly, "We mostly take nutritional supplements and rarely have the opportunity to eat whole, unprocessed food, so we don't know how to prepare it."
Xia Chuhe: ...Why are you blushing like a teapot?!
The fish is rather round, making it difficult to slice.
Du Zhen glanced at it, then couldn't bear to watch any longer: "I'll do it."
Xia Chuhe gave his seat to Du Zhen, who quickly and skillfully prepared a plate of neatly arranged fish slices.
Xia Chuhe tried a piece; it tasted very fresh, but it was a bit icy.
Unable to contain himself, Wang Yan quickly prepared a fish according to Xia Chuhe's method and started grilling it by hand.
Xia Chuhe ate the most normal meal he had in the past few days.
For her, the fish was delicious, but unfortunately there were no seasonings.
But for others, well-prepared, unprocessed food is delicious enough.
As dusk fell.
Everyone fell silent.
They were worried about the same thing—would they be dragged away by the snow apes to work if they stayed outside?
