I also saw the white shadow that was thrown out just now. If I'm not mistaken, that fish is indeed very big and fat.
I was also a little excited, so I quickly turned the fishing rod and ran towards the spot where I had just thrown the fish away.
Chen Jian didn't have time to deal with the vines anymore; he ran over and grabbed the fish.
The fish was covered in snow, half of which had melted, but the other half was still covered in snow.
It was hopping and flapping its arms around, its arms as long as its own, and it was quite plump.
If we take such a big fish back and make soup, it will be enough for everyone in the entire camp to have for one night.
A surge of excitement welled up inside me, and I couldn't help but feel a little smug as I looked at Chen Jian.
"So, how about it? My method works, right? You were just complaining a moment ago, but now you see, this is the fruitful harvest!"
Chen Jian stopped rambling and looked at me, chuckling to himself.
"Hey, Sihai, stop teasing me. We've been on this deserted island for so long, and you've been taking care of everything. I was just being a little lazy earlier. But now that you've caught some fish, we have something to look forward to, right? Hurry, there's still quite a bit of dried meat left. I'll go get another fishing rod, and we can work together to catch more, right?"
Seeing how excited Chen Jian was, I couldn't help but laugh. But Chen Jian was right about one thing: as long as you catch a fish, there is hope. It means that there are still many fish in this freshwater stream, and this fish is so fat.
If we could really get ten or eight fish, let alone whether there would be enough fish soup, just the fact that such plump fish could be dried would be enough for us to eat when we were hungry.
Chen Jian didn't need my instructions this time. He was full of energy on his own. He turned around and ran into the woods. Before long, he came back with a straight stick. He followed my example, sharpened a wire, cut some shellfish meat, and dug a hole next to me. He then threw the stick into it.
We sat down on the side, and the water was boiling. Chen Jian suddenly felt hungry again.
"Brother Sihai, I think we should stew this fish. We still have plenty of time. We can just ice fish here tonight. If we can catch ten or eight big ones, that'll be enough for us. We won't just be drooling here."
To be honest, the sight of such a fresh fish made my mouth water, but when I thought about how Wang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qiang were still waiting for us at the camp, I felt that it would be unfair to them if Chen Jian and I ate here first.
He gritted his teeth and said, "If we can catch one later, how about we eat it? Otherwise, if we can't catch one, Liu Jiaojiao and the others are still waiting at the camp. What will they do if we eat our fill here?"
After hearing what I said, Chen Jian scratched his head and said, "Brother Sihai is right. Let's catch a couple more and then make soup."
We agreed that we'd sit around the campfire, chatting idly, reminiscing about our previous life in the city, and occasionally talking about that scumbag Lin Xubo.
He has no place in our camp now, and everyone ignores him every day. He brought this trouble upon himself.
I was chatting with Chen Jian when my fishing rod suddenly moved again. This time, I was more experienced and less panicked than before. I steadily pulled the rod up, then gave it a sharp flick, and there it was—another big fish!
When Chen Jian saw me catching big fish one after another, he couldn't help but feel envious and his eyes turned red.
He kept squatting down next to me, muttering, "Brother Sihai, is that shellfish meat on your rod? Why are you catching fish left and right, but I'm not getting any? Is there something wrong with my rod? Can you take a look?"
Looking at Chen Jian's expression, I couldn't help but laugh: "We're both on the same wavelength, and besides, you were the one who brought the shellfish meat when we came. How could it be that I can catch fish here but you can't? I guess if you really can't catch any fish, then it's probably a matter of your character."
After I said that, Chen Jian immediately shut up.
"Brother Sihai, stop making sarcastic remarks. Otherwise, let's go somewhere else."
When I heard him say that, I nodded quickly. Anyway, I had already caught two fish, so Chen Jian and I switched places to fish. But not long after, my fishing rod started moving again.
Chen Jian got upset and insisted on switching back with me. We spent half a day trying to catch a fish, but we only managed to catch four or five.
Chen Jian deftly prepared a piece of meat, cut it into flower shapes, and put it in the pot. Although he didn't add anything, not even seasonings, the soup tasted incredibly delicious.
Even I, who am not usually picky about food, couldn't help but salivate at the smell of this soup.
Chen Jian's eyes widened: "Oh my, if they take this soup back and eat it, they might not even know if their ears fall off."
I looked at Chen Jian and grinned foolishly: "Who knows? Anyway, we've had a good harvest tonight. We were worried about not having anything to eat in the winter, but now we can catch fish. This is a great discovery. If we run out of food, we can come back here and dig holes to fish. We won't starve to death!"
Chen Jian nodded hurriedly. Just as the soup in the pot was about to boil and cook through, two roars suddenly came from the woods.
I was stunned. Chen Jian heard it immediately and stood up abruptly, grabbing the gun we had brought with us. At that moment, I saw a snow-white shadow swaying out of the woods. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a large polar bear!
At this moment, it was on all fours, its huge head constantly looking in our direction. Although the moonlight was not very bright, I could still feel its nose twitching, obviously it had smelled a fragrance.
Chen Jian stood close to me, ignoring the wooden poles propped up by the river. He swallowed hard, clearly extremely nervous.
"Brother Sihai, what should we do? This beast is so big, and we only have one gun. I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it."
"Do you fucking need to tell me that? Do you think I don't know that?"
I retorted to Chen Jian, but my heart suddenly jumped into my throat.
If such a big bear were to charge at us, it would probably kill both Chen Jian and me in less than two swipes.
But we went through so much trouble to catch these few fish, and I really can't bear to just leave them here.
Now it's clearly a choice: fish or life!
