Chapter 20 Fishing Tutorial
The two put the things back under the tree and hid in the ferns by the lake.
It was still the same position as before, but this time the main attacker was Kitten.
It was quiet all around. Little moths flew around to watch the fun, and occasionally a leaf trembled in the distance.
"First, watch quietly, use the water plants and rocks to hide your body, and wait for the opportunity."
He Jing nodded seriously, observing the water surface carefully, his little paws eager to move.
There are ripples, something is coming!
He Jing excitedly turned to look at the tiger beside him, and Gu Zheng nodded slightly.
"Wait for it to swim to the surface nearby, then pounce on it and catch it with your claws. Try not to enter the water."
"good!"
He Jing held her breath and lowered her body, gripping the ground with her front feet while building up strength with her back feet. She watched the fish slowly swim towards her, her eyes narrowed into a line.
In the blink of an eye, He Jing kicked his hind legs, fell forward, and grabbed the fish swiftly and firmly.
I turned around and tried to go back, but my foot slipped and I almost fell into the lake!
Gu Zheng grabbed the kitten by the scruff of the neck and pulled it back.
The fish in his arms thrashed wildly, and He Jing was so excited that his teeth were gleaming: "I caught it!!"
"Talented." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
She put the fish aside, and Gu Zheng knocked the struggling fish unconscious.
This catch immediately boosted He Jing’s confidence, and she returned to her previous place, waiting for the next fish.
He missed several times and was pulled up by Gu Zheng several times.
But in the end, it was quite rewarding.
Gu Zheng took her to another place. There were aquatic plants here, so the time for observation and ambush was not long this time.
Gu Zheng was observing quietly along the edge of the water plants. Suddenly, a leaf shook slightly. He quickly stretched out his claws and scooped out a few shrimps!
He Jing was shocked! This shrimp was bigger than her hand!
It wasn’t over yet. Gu Zheng searched for a while, stretched out his claws, and threw something to the ground with his backhand.
That thing landed and ran away quickly!
Gu Zheng tapped his foot lightly and stopped moving.
He Jing leaned forward to take a look: "Crab?! Such a big one??"
Gu Zheng calmly withdrew his hand and said, "Hold it and play with it."
"You are so amazing! You can even catch this!" He Jing's eyes lit up.
Gu Zheng felt a little hot on his face for some reason.
He turned around and pulled another one out of the water, and He Jing exclaimed again.
Gu Zheng's tail wagged lightly, the hair on the tips of his ears trembled, and he tilted his head and coughed softly.
He Jing also tried to catch them a few times, but he caught nothing and got himself wet. They are so good at hiding!
The shrimp is bad! It's not the cat that's stupid! ＞︿＜
The two men returned to the tree with a pile of spoils, found some branches and re-lit the fire.
“It’s amazing that there are crabs here!”
He Jing looked at the crabs tied to the branches and grilled them, and sighed, "Will there be clams, oysters, and squid?"
Gu Zheng nodded, "Yes, but I don't know where I'll meet him."
The sun was shining lazily, and He Jing's fur gradually became warm and dry.
"This is the first time I've seen grilled crabs." He Jing said curiously.
"...Can't the crab be grilled?"
“…”
"???" He Jing was shocked. "I don't know? You don't know either? I think they just roasted it..."
Gu Zheng was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips: "I've never eaten something this small before."
That's right. He Jing looked at the crabs, which were no bigger than the tiger's palm. They were enough for her to have a full meal, but for a huge adult tiger, they didn't seem to be enough to fill its teeth...
"It's okay, it's already been roasted, it should be cooked!" He Jing said eagerly.
It turned out that it could be roasted, the shrimp and crabs turned orange-red, and the aroma was not very obvious.
He Jing was holding a crab, feeling a bit unsure where to start. He tentatively pried it open with his claws. Did it just open? Loose crabs? How could it open just by touching it?
“???”
He Jing looked at his hands and then at the crab.
Why do I remember that it was very difficult to peel crabs in the past?
Gu Zheng saw her confusion and said, "Your strength has increased."
"Wow?! Will I be able to shatter rocks with just one slap?"
Gu Zheng couldn't understand the 19-year-old kitten's thoughts. "Maybe." He picked up another crab and threw it directly into his mouth.
"Crunch, crunch..." Swallow.
Gu Zheng looked at the kitten staring at his mouth in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay... your teeth are really good..."
"You can wait until your teeth grow back."
He Jing took a tentative bite, but found that it was not very good, so he picked out the meat and ate it obediently.
After eating a crab, she ate five or six shrimps, and finally finished with the fish she caught. To be honest, she had never eaten so much before.
Gu Zheng finished eating the remaining food and didn't feel much in his stomach.
These things were light and airy to him.
He Jing took out a few tea leaves from her bag and handed them to Gu Zheng: "Eat some? You ate too much seafood today."
Gu Zheng took it and threw it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he felt the fragrance spreading from his tongue, and he felt much more refreshed.
The two of them lay down in the shade of a tree to rest, waiting for the sun to move a little lower before setting off again.
The temperature on the plains is higher than other places, and it is a bit hot for long-haired animals at noon.
"Brother Gu, how did you get through your transformation period?"
"In the central transformation center, they will provide the environment." Gu Zheng replied indifferently.
"Huh? Central Transformation Center?"
"Yes, it's under the supervision of the Federation Central Committee and is built on every planet."
"So, am I suitable to be here?"
"It's okay. Besides you, there are two other people undergoing transformation at the training ground this time."
"The environment at the training ground will be more realistic than that of the central transformation center, and there will be more emergencies, allowing for a more comprehensive transformation."
"oh oh!"
…
He Jing fell asleep unknowingly. Gu Zheng watched him for a while and then closed his eyes.
At this moment, the wind of nature becomes a gentle hand, patting people to sleep.
-----------------
He Jing felt that she had slept very comfortably. The feeling of fullness after eating disappeared, as if it had all turned into energy filling her limbs.
She stood up and shook off the catalpa flowers on her body, feeling refreshed!
Gu Zheng heard the sound coming from the lake.
"woke up?"
"Yeah." He Jing checked the time. It was 15:22. "Ah! I slept for a long time!"
"Sleeping after eating is a way of converting energy. It's normal."
"Will it delay your work?"
"Um?"
He Jing met the other person's puzzled look, "Don't you have anything to do when you return to the training ground?"
"Yes, but there's no rush." Gu Zheng didn't expect the other party to ask. After all, whether in the cave, with the lop-eared rabbit, or at the research institute, she seemed to have noticed nothing and never mentioned it.
"Just don't let it interfere with the important things."
He Jing felt much closer to the tiger in front of him. The tiger was not as cold as he looked. On the contrary, he was very attentive, and his underlying gentleness could not be concealed.
Whether it was catching the fish that hit her at the beginning, or the intelligent computer that came later, the protection that pressed against her chest when in danger, the accompanying inspection at the research institute, or the backpack filled with her favorite food, teaching her survival skills.
Even though they didn't talk much, she could truly feel the other person's gentleness and reliability.
If there was anyone in this world she could trust, he was that person now.
