Seeing his daughter-in-law's aggrieved look, Gong Qianyu smiled and said, "Isn't it great for us to do this? We don't have to worry about where we will stay or where we will see wherever we go."

Shui Ling laughed dryly, "Well, yes."

Sailing has always been her dream.

Gong Qianyu took Shuiling to watch the scenery together.

There is a cliff in front of them. It can be said that the place where they land is like a piece of stone stuck in the mountain, and the place below the footing is empty.

But below is a sea of ​​flowers, not grass, but shrubs.

The shrubs looked small from above, but Shui Ling knew that they would definitely be taller than him when he got down.

Those shrubs are blooming with colorful flowers, which are very beautiful, and the temperature here is about ten degrees higher than the outside world.

Gong Qianyu pointed downward and said, "Look."

Shui Ling looked over and saw a huge bird's nest there, with the spherical object in the bird's nest.

There are still three eggs in the bird's nest, which shows that their parents have gone out to look for food.

Shui Ling asked: "Go down?"

You might be able to steal it while the big bird is away.

Gong Qianyu shook his head, "That thing isn't very hot either. Maybe the big bird thinks of it as a warm nest for hatching eggs, so it's better to leave it alone."

Shui Ling hesitated for a moment, "But... what should I do if there is radiation?"

Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "It should be no problem, just let nature take its course."

"Okay." Shui Ling finally gave up the idea of ​​getting the ball back.

Shui Ling looked at it for a while and said, "Go back. Since there's nothing wrong, it's a good thing."

Gong Qianyu laughed and said, "Okay." The two of them returned the same way they came. It would take two days to walk this distance.

Of course, if you climb the mountain, it will probably take four or five days to get there.

The two returned to the lake. After changing their clothes, Shuiling asked, "Do you want to fish?"

"That's okay, we can also dry some dried fish at this time." Gong Qianyu replied.

Shui Ling took out a hand-thrown net and fished it out, keeping the big ones and letting go of the small ones. The fish weighing more than a hundred kilograms was tied back with branches.

People here eat fish either boiled or grilled, and they don't remove the internal organs, so they rarely eat it because fish still has bones, which is troublesome.

Shui Ling put down the fish. There were five fish in total, each weighing more than 20 kilograms.

Gong Qianyu asked: "How to make it? Marinate it?"

Shui Ling shook his head, "We don't have that much salt to waste. The last salt mine can't be used, and the new salt mine hasn't been found yet."

Gong Qianyu nodded, "It seems that the next step is to find salt."

Shui Ling sighed and placed the fish on the big stone slab. She cut the fish into pieces and Gong Qianyu fetched water to wash them.

When Shui Ling got to the fifth fish, he was dumbfounded. This... this is a sea fish!

Seeing that Shui Ling was motionless, Gong Qianyu immediately asked nervously: "What's wrong? Is the cut complete?"

Shui Ling shook his head, "This is a sea fish, why is it in the lake?"

Gong Qianyu didn't know many sea fish, so he said, "Maybe it's connected to the sea?"

Shui Ling laughed, "No, I think the big bird caught the fish and kept them in the lake for food, and then the fish flowed into our lake along the opening."

Gong Qianyu nodded, "It's possible. No wonder this fish was dying when it was caught."

Shui Ling began to rub his chin again, "So there is a sea near us, so we still have to check the direction of the birds' flight. Maybe we can find the sea by following the direction of their flight."

Finding the sea means there will be no shortage of salt in the future, and sea food can also supplement iodine for the people here.

Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "Take care of it first, and go to camp tomorrow."

"Okay." Shui Ling nodded and continued cutting up the fish.

Gong Qianyu couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe her chin, but there was fish blood all over it.

Shui Ling smiled awkwardly.

After she finished cutting the fish, the fish bones were used to make soup, the fish heads and tails were braised, and the fish meat was sprinkled with a little salt and spread on the stones to dry naturally.

When it is half dry, you can hang it up and smoke it on the fire, so that it can be stored for a longer time.

Dinner was simple. Shuiling drank fish soup and gnawed on her eyeballs. Although I don't know if it can cure the eyes, the cooked meat cannot be wasted.

Fortunately, my mother gave me a lot of seasonings, including hot sauce, so I didn’t feel sick of eating it with the hot sauce.

Another day passed with eyes closed and opened. Shui Ling and Gong Qianyu came to the top of the bird's nest and waited.

After waiting for three days, I saw two golden birds flying over.

Shui Ling opened her mouth wide when she saw it, and then said after a while: "It turns out... there really is a phoenix."

Gong Qianyu laughed, "Some things are imagined out of thin air, but some things are born after seeing them and adding imagination."

Shui Ling nodded, "Well, these two birds are different from the phoenix we are familiar with. There is only one long hair on the tail, but there are three crests on the top of the head."

"The claws seem to be different too, and yes, there are also mouths. Their mouths are a bit hooked."

Shui Ling spoke without controlling her voice, feeling that she was far away from the two birds.

As a result, one of the smaller ones heard the sound, flapped its wings, flew up and grabbed Shui Ling by the waist.

Shui Ling was dumbfounded.

Gong Qianyu grabbed the other leg of the bird. If he wanted to be caught, the couple would have to be caught together.

But he thought wrongly, thinking that the big bird would take them to the bird's nest, but the big bird flew higher and higher.

Shui Ling said: "Maybe you grabbed it and it felt threatened, so it refused to fall back into the nest."

Gong Qianyu frowned, reached out and grabbed Shui Ling's arm, and hugged Shui Ling's body with all his strength.

The big bird felt the strength in its claws disappear. It lowered its head and began to fall into the nest.

Shui Ling was not afraid at all. He lowered his head and looked around. He really found the direction of the sea.

"Over there, there is the sea!"

Gong Qianyu looked over, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a bit far, we have to climb over the mountain."

Shui Ling nodded, "Yes, it's a little far away."

The two of them were not worried that they would fall, and they were still chatting enthusiastically.

The big bird also fell back into its nest and lowered its head to peck Gong Qianyu.

Gong Qianyu immediately avoided it and hid next to the eggs in the bird's nest.

The big bird didn't dare to mess around and waited for her hard.

Shui Ling thought for a moment and took out the two fish meats that he had put out at night from the space, "Here, do you want to eat them?"

There is spiritual energy in the space. These two pieces of meat were not put in for long, but they were also contaminated with spiritual energy.

The big bird's eyes lit up, but it still watched warily and did not dare to eat.

At this moment, an egg cracked open with a crack, and the brown bird's beak stuck out, and its tongue thrust out, as if it wanted to eat fish.

The big bird hesitated for a moment, then took the fish in one mouthful. It let go of Shui Ling, pressed the fish with its claws, tore off a little bit, and handed it to the little bird.

The little bird immediately opened its mouth to eat, and then it had the strength to peck open the egg shell.

This is a bird that looks like a chick. It's a bit ugly now, but it will look beautiful in a few days.

The big bird looked at the other two eggs again, seeming to be wondering why they didn't move when they laid eggs at the same time?

Shui Ling walked over, bent down and put her ear against the egg, listened, and said with some regret: "There is no heartbeat inside, maybe the chick is dead."
Chapter completed!
