The sharp-eyed Lu Xuan saw a freshwater fish that was half a meter long. Judging from its head and bulging belly, it was obvious that it was living a very comfortable life in this lake.
The only pity was that Lu Xuan didn't have any suitable tools to catch fish. He tried more than ten times with his bare hands, but each time he was caught by this big fish that had a very agile posture in the water.
Thinking of the long stick left on the shore, Lu Xuan suddenly had an idea.
"There are fish, there really are fish!"
Shen Keyin, who was originally "dressing up" on the shore, obviously also discovered that the lake water was not only clear, but there were also many fish in the water.
At this time, Chen Keyin was dancing with excitement, pointing at several carps swimming on the shore.
"You are just small fish, there are bigger ones in the lake, so you should have a snack today!"
After eating several meals of compressed biscuits in a row, Lu Xuan suddenly felt that they were tasteless. Although these compressed biscuits could indeed fill his stomach, the taste was too bad and he could only barely use them as food to sustain his livelihood. If he ate them for every meal, he would not starve to death, but he would vomit sooner or later.
Although the big fish hadn't taken the bait yet, Lu Xuan, who had experience in surviving in the wild, was quite knowledgeable about catching fish.
Picking up the long stick, Lu Xuan began to sharpen one end of the stick with the Swiss Army knife that he always kept in his pocket.
Five minutes later, a crude-looking but quite practical harpoon was born.
"Fish, there's a big one over there, it's going to the right..."
Seeing so many fish in the lake, Shen Keyin no longer cared about dressing herself up. After all, compared to "loving beauty", having a feast of fish was more important at the moment.
Lu Xuan seized the opportunity, aimed at a big fish about 40 centimeters long and speared it.
One hit!
"Wow, I got it, I got it, awesome!"
Shen Keyin was so excited when she saw Lu Xuan hit the target and caught a big live fish with his spear.
"You go set up the grill, I'll go down and catch two more."
This one piece is not enough for two people. They haven't eaten anything decent all day.
Anyway, there are plenty of fish in the lake, so Lu Xuan decided to make sure he had enough to eat today.
Shen Keyin wanted to carry the big fish back to the campfire in front of the cave, but she didn't expect that the fish, which had been speared by Lu Xuan, was still alive and kicking. Shen Keyin tried several times, but the fish escaped. It was not until Shen Keyin, who was furious, slapped the fish hard that she finally subdued it.
Holding the nearly two-pound fish in his hands, he ran towards the cave with joy.
Lu Xuan was not idle either. He simply rolled up his trouser legs and went into the lake to catch some bigger fish.
By the time Shen Keyin clumsily finished building the crooked barbecue grill, Lu Xuan brought two fish weighing one kilogram each and a bighead carp weighing four kilograms.
Seeing the barbecue grill built by Shen Keyin, Lu Xuan couldn't help rubbing his head, and had to build another one by himself.
Then he took out a soup pot he had obtained from the stranded half-boat yesterday and placed it on the grill.
"Look, it's like this, and before grilling the fish, you have to kill it first... gut it."
There is no need to guess too much about Shen Keyin's daily life. She must be an out-and-out young lady. Let alone killing fish, it is estimated that she has never even touched the kitchen knife at home.
Fortunately, this woman was not stupid and had some courage. After Lu Xuan demonstrated it to her, she basically mastered the technique of killing fish. Of course, the prerequisite was that Lu Xuan had to knock the fish unconscious first, otherwise if the fish jumped an inch high, the girl would jump a foot high.
After a busy period, the two finally had a full meal.
They grilled the four fish and ate them. Relying on the sufficient food they had, the two men cut off the heads and tails.
As for the largest bighead carp, Lu Xuan actually didn't know what species it was, but it was big enough, so he just made soup with it.
The only drawback is the lack of seasoning. Lu Xuan feels that as long as he has enough time and completes the construction of his base, he will have to go to the half-broken ship again.
Fortunately, this wild fish still has its original flavor even without adding any seasoning. Even Shen Keyin, who is used to eating big fish and meat and delicacies from mountains and seas, couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Delicious, delicious, so delicious, a hundred times better than compressed biscuits."
"I'm full, I have to work, I don't want to be a big lady!"
Lu Xuan wiped his mouth, burped, and stood up to stretch his muscles.
"Tsk, I'm not a young lady. When have you ever seen me slacking off at work?"
Hearing Lu Xuan say this about herself, Shen Keyin was still very unconvinced.
But what Shen Keyin said was true. In Lu Xuan's impression, although Shen Keyin was a bit harsh and cold with his subordinates, he was very hardworking and worked overtime on weekdays. Sometimes he even spent weekends in the office. A real workaholic.
My plan is this...
Lu Xuan roughly explained his renovation plan to Shen Keyin.
Shen Keyin listened very carefully and added her own insights from time to time.
After the two of them had a full meal, they started to take action.
When Lu Xuan was fishing, he discovered that there was a bamboo forest not far to the right of the lake. The bamboo could be used to make fences and gates.
Moreover, this natural bamboo can also play a good concealing role, so your residence can be hidden behind this artificial bamboo forest, greatly improving safety.
Lu Xuan was responsible for cutting bamboo, and Shen Keyin was responsible for carrying it.
After replenishing their energy, the two worked enthusiastically.
When the sun was at its highest, the two men brought back more than 20 bamboos about three meters long and as thick as their wrists into the cave.
However, this busy schedule consumed a lot of physical strength of both of them, especially Shen Keyin, who usually does clerical work and has thin arms and legs. She now has a sore back from carrying bamboo back and forth.
The two replenished their energy and took a short nap in the afternoon before starting their next work.
Lu Xuan dug a hole in the open space in front of the cave, preparing to insert the bamboos into the ground as a barrier in front of the cave.
However, due to the lack of suitable tools, digging the hole is really difficult.
I worked so hard until sunset, and I had only done one-third of the work.
"I'm going to go to the shipwreck again tomorrow. I have a feeling there should be a few more doors on the bow."
Lu Xuan never gave up on the half ship. He always felt that if he explored it further, he might be able to find some useful supplies, such as handy tools or weapons, so he simply moved up the plan.
"Then I'll go with you."
Hearing Lu Xuan say that he was going out tomorrow, Shen Keyin said without hesitation that she would follow him.
After all, no matter how strong a woman is, she still needs a man's protection. If she is really left alone, she will feel completely insecure.
However, when Lu Xuan looked at the cliff in the west, he had his own thoughts.
This time, he didn't go by water, but by land. He wanted to climb to the top of the cliff and see where he was...
