Li Shaoyang also quickly chiseled a small hole in the ice. He took a metal bucket filled with water and his own cup, using the cup to scoop water from the hole into the metal bucket. Soon, the entire bucket was full.
Suddenly, there was a sound under the ice hole, and then a fish appeared in the ice hole. Li Shaoyang didn't expect that there would be fish in the lake. This was a really unexpected surprise.
Before he could do anything, another fish appeared and even jumped onto the ice. He knew that this was because the lake was frozen and there was a lack of oxygen in the water.
Li Shaoyang was afraid of scaring the fish away, so he didn't dare to call Ye Shuning loudly. He just threw the fish that jumped onto the ice to the shore.
He hoped that more fish would appear so that they could replenish their food supply. Besides, the presence of fish in the lake meant that the water was drinkable.
He hadn't eaten enough for several days, and now looking at the live fish he wanted to eat them raw.
When the water in Ye Shuning's aluminum pot was about to boil, she put the instant noodles into the pot. Seeing that Li Shaoyang didn't notice, she put a few more noodles in.
In order to save food, Li Shaoyang ate very little these days. She could sneak some food when Li Shaoyang wasn't paying attention, but Li Shaoyang didn't have a special kitchen.
She planned to make more today so that Li Shaoyang could eat his fill. After all, the instant noodles were soupy and easy to digest.
When the water boiled, Ye Shuning tore open a few packets of seasoning. She made a few pairs of chopsticks with thicker reeds. When she used the chopsticks to spread the seasoning, the fragrance immediately wafted out.
Li Shaoyang suddenly smelled an enticing aroma, and his stomach started to growl.
The instant noodles were cooked quickly. Ye Shuning used a teacup to serve herself some, which was enough for her to eat, and the rest all went to Li Shaoyang.
She called out to Li Shaoyang, "Brother Li, it's time to eat."
When Li Shaoyang heard it was time for dinner, he didn't care about the hole in the ice anymore. He thought another fish would jump onto the surface soon anyway. He would just catch them later. Eating was the most important thing right now.
He quickly came to Ye Shuning with a bucket of water and said, "Xiao Ning, there are fish in the lake. I've caught several."
Ye Shuning was delighted when she heard this. "Really? That's great! We can catch more fish as food reserves."
She also saw the fish jumping on the ice on the shore from a distance, and several ways to cook the fish emerged in her mind.
Li Shaoyang looked at the fragrant, oily noodle soup in the pot and said, "Is this what you call instant noodles? It's still a new thing now. I heard it was originally produced in Haizhou. The production volume is very low, so it's hard to find normally."
Ye Shuning turned around and said, “I heard the traffickers call it instant noodles. That’s how they eat it. You can eat it dry. They say it’s fried.
This teacup of mine is enough for us to eat, the rest is all yours. This thing won’t taste good if it gets cold, and the noodles will become mushy if we keep it for too long.”
When Li Shaoyang saw how much noodles were left in the pot, he knew Ye Shuning had made so much specifically for him to eat. After spending the past few days together, Li Shaoyang knew that Ye Shuning was a kind girl who didn't feel insecure towards him at all. It was worth it that he had taken her out to play when she was little.
Li Shaoyang picked up the aluminum pot and said, "That's too little. I'll give you some more."
Ye Shuning hid aside with the teacup in her hand and said, "Don't you know how much I eat? This is really enough for me. Eat it while it's hot. We finally have hot soup. Now we have fish. I'll cook it for you tonight."
Seeing that Ye Shuning really didn't want it, Li Shaoyang didn't hesitate and sat on the ground, holding the aluminum pot, picked up the chopsticks made of reeds by Ye Shuning and started eating.
Ye Shuning cooked braised beef noodles. The spicy taste was so strong that Li Shaoyang felt that he had never eaten such delicious noodles before.
Seeing Li Shaoyang enjoying his meal, Ye Shuning started eating as well. She had little noodles, so she finished them quickly. Then she ran to the lake to look at the fish in the ice hole.
Soon, several more fish appeared in the ice hole. Ye Shuning turned to see Li Shaoyang, who was concentrating on eating noodles. She reached out and took the fish back to the research institute. Perhaps this time she could take advantage of the opportunity to collect more fish.
The space in the institute can keep fish fresh, so she can collect more fish without them spoiling and save them for later consumption.
She really wanted to go fishing in the lake, but she knew it was impossible. She stared at the hole in the ice, and suddenly she seemed to see fish in the lake below. She shuddered and looked at the hole again, but she saw nothing.
She stared at the hole in the ice again, and this time the scene beneath the lake really appeared in her mind. She saw a large fish about a foot long swimming towards the hole in the ice.
Ye Shuning stared at the ice hole, and soon a big fish actually appeared in the ice hole, exactly the same as the one that appeared in her mind just now.
At this time, Ye Shuning's heart was beating violently, and she felt indescribable changes in her body.
Does she have X-ray vision and can see through obstacles and what is behind them?
Ye Shuning held her breath, closed her eyes, and thought about what was under the lake. Then the scene under the lake really appeared in her mind: the green lake water, the fish swimming in the water, and the roots of wild grass growing on the bottom of the lake.
Ye Shuning wanted to see what Li Shaoyang was doing at this moment, and then the image of Li Shaoyang eating instant noodles appeared in her mind. She opened her eyes and turned to look at Li Shaoyang. He was indeed holding the pot and eating instant noodles, just as she had imagined.
Ye Shuning didn't know why she had changed like this. Was it because she had the research institute space with her? But why hadn't she changed like this before?
She suddenly remembered the black crystal in the fountain pool of the research institute. Could it be because of it?
She thought of the apocalyptic novels she'd read before, where a certain supernatural power was very similar to her current situation: psychic power. Could it be that she had activated her psychic power?
She wasn't sure if this was a psychic ability, but having one more skill was certainly good.
Let's just assume that she has psychic powers.
Ye Shuning wanted to see the surroundings, but she found that she could only reach a distance of several dozen meters. She couldn't reach any further. It seemed that the range of her psychic ability was only a few dozen meters.
I don’t know if it will be upgraded in the future.
Ye Shuning withdrew her mental power and probed it into the lake again. Then, when her mental power touched the fish, she sent out a thought in her mind to retract it. The fish actually disappeared. When she looked again, a big fish appeared in her research institute.
Ye Shuning was thrilled to see it actually worked. Even if her mental power could maintain a range of several dozen meters, it would already be great. This was a godsend cheat. When she returned, she could use this mental power to catch fish in the river at the village entrance.
