As Zhao Xinqing slowly stood up, Su Bai also took the fishing rod in hand and climbed up from the ground little by little, facing those green eyes.
When the fishing rod is folded up, it is just a 1.6-meter stick. Its hardness, length and weight are very good. As long as it does not encounter an apex predator like a tiger or brown bear, Su Bai has the power to resist.
Zhao Xinqing squatted beside the fire and blew into the fire, which had lost its open flame.
Su Bai held the fishing rod in both hands, staring into those eyes with a cold look on his face.
Zhao Xinqing blew four breaths in a row, and the smoldering fire started to glow again.
She quickly added some firewood inside and made the fire brighter.
With the flames, Su Bai was obviously relieved.
He knew that wild beasts were inherently afraid of flames.
Even if the 700-kilogram brown bear were here, he would probably choose to retreat when he saw an open flame.
What's more, judging from the height of the eyes, it shouldn't be that bear.
Sure enough, the pair of green eyes in the woods quietly retreated after confronting Su Bai for more than ten breaths.
As they came and went, Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing didn't hear a sound.
It was as if there was a ghost hiding in the woods.
"Did you see what it was?" Zhao Xinqing swallowed, full of fear.
Su Bai shook his head and said:
"I didn't see it, but I guess it's a big cat, like a lynx or a leopard."
Zhao Xinqing smiled bitterly:
"This place has too many neighbors..."
Su Bai was not very nervous and said with a smile:
"Big cats generally rarely prey on creatures the size of humans, unless they are tigers."
"Don't be afraid, we can make the fire more prosperous in the future."
The two restarted the drone, took the fishing rods, and went to the river together.
Near the camp, downstream of the mouth of the three forks, there is a gentle and deep river basin, which is an excellent fishing spot.
Su Bai pierced a small piece of the liver of the white sturgeon subspecies and dropped the bait in a place where the water flow was gentle.
In just ten minutes, Su Bai caught three fish.
A herring, a silver carp and a barracuda weighed six pounds in total, enough for breakfast for two people.
"Let's go." Su Bai put away his pole and left.
Barrage:
【???】
【What's your fishing speed?】
【Is it cheating? 】
[The program team sent divers to hook you up below, right?]
Su Bai chuckled and said:
"At four or five o'clock in the morning, it's best to catch fish, catch fish casually, and do basic operations."
Barrage:
[I’m convinced... There is a player from Bangzi Country named Jin Xuncheng, also known as the King of Wild Fishing. I often hang out in his live broadcast room these days. ]
[He sat by the river for a whole day before he could catch a few fish, barely enough to eat.]
[His teammate was building the camp alone and was as tired as a dog. He lay on the rocks by the river and rowed all day. 】
Su Bai chuckled:
"Maybe... it's just bad luck."
Barrage:
[Wait a minute, have you noticed a small detail? 】
[Why does Su Bai draw a symbol under his feet every time he goes fishing? Then he steps on it? 】
【Huh? If you don’t tell me I haven’t realized it yet, it’s true!】
[Yes, yes, I have wanted to ask for a long time. He did this when he first caught giant salamanders! 】
【It was the same just now!】
【Rich second generation, what did you draw?】
Su Bai laughed and shook his head:
"This is my secret, I can't tell you."
Barrage: [Could it be that this is Su Bai’s fishing secret? 】
Su Bai shook his head repeatedly and said:
"No, fishing also relies on skill and experience. This little trick is just a habit I learned from fishing before. It's nothing important."
Hearing Su Bai's answer, everyone in the barrage said they didn't believe it, unless Su Bai gave them what kind of symbol Kangkang had drawn.
Seeing that these barrages were unreasonable, Su Bai put down the tablet and cooperated with Zhao Xinqing to bury the fish under the fire and prepare to cook it.
"Let's go to the forest to pick up some wood. Our target is a branch as thick as a forearm, no more than one meter, preferably straight."
Su Bai took out a simple torch that was not used yesterday from his backpack.
After lighting the torch, he thought for a moment and took Zhao Xinqing's hand.
Zhao Xinqing's eyes widened as if struck by lightning.
he……
He held my hand?
So many people are watching...
Zhao Xinqing's face turned red and she drew back.
But Su Bai held it very tightly, and she didn't even pull it out!
Su Bai showed a shy smile and said:
"Big cats like to ambush people. I'm afraid that cat just didn't get far, so you can't stay too far away from me."
Zhao Xinqing: "..."
"Then...okay..." Zhao Xinqing felt the heat coming from Su Bai's palm and was so embarrassed that her eyes kept wandering on the ground.
Barrage:
【You fart!!!】
[I don’t believe it! You just deliberately wanted to take advantage of Dr. Zhao!]
[Big gangster Su Bai! I’m going to call the police!]
[Then you hug Dr. Zhao to sleep at night, is it to protect Dr. Zhao? Shameless!]
[Ha! Men! They are all big pig hooves!]
The two of them held torches and entered the woods. They quickly picked up many branches that they liked and used them to build a simple shelter with a little processing.
Zhao Xinqing also found a small piece of blackberry in the bush, plucked it all with a look of regret, and put it into the fish skin bag she carried with her.
These three or four acres of land were not very big at all. The two of them quickly searched the room under the dim light of the sky and soon collected all the usable wood. Those with suitable shapes and sizes were used to build shelters.
If suitable, keep it as firewood.
Zhao Xinqing directed Su Bai, and the two of them used their feet to straighten the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and then cleaned up the branches and leaves around the area, making sure to leave a circle of isolation.
"Okay, let's burn it."
Zhao Xinqing nodded to Su Bai.
Su Bai used the simple torch in his hand to light the trees one by one, and also did not let go of the dead branches and leaves on the ground.
Soon, as Su Bai walked outside the three acres of woods, a raging forest fire burst into the sky.
Thick smoke billowed up into the sky, like a twisted dragon.
Barrage:
【What the hell? Is this your method?】
【Set fire to the mountain and sit on the bottom of the prison.】
[There is a fire on the top of the mountain, and the director falls in love with me.]
Zhao Xinqing hid aside with Su Bai and explained to the audience:
“Slash-and-burn cultivation is the most primitive farming method.”
"Su Bai and I don't have engineering shovels and daggers. It's very difficult to cut down these three acres of woods."
"The only option is to set it on fire."
"After burning, the ash will increase the fertility of the land."
"As long as we clear the ignition materials on the ground, we can control the fire within the range we want."
At this time, the fish has been cooked.
Su Bai dug out three fish from under the fire and handed one to Zhao Xinqing.
Just as he was about to eat, he suddenly heard a deep roar coming from the other side of the four-meter rock wall:
"Hoo-ho-"
Su Bai was shocked and thought to himself, "Not good."
The cat that was lurking in the woods did not leave. Instead, it changed places and continued to spy on him and Zhao Xinqing!
