4878. Chapter 4878 The fire scene of the beauty kingdom
Watching the rainwater filling up little by little, Jing Jiaren hugged it tightly, as if the bucket was her life...
If the bucket is overturned and the bucket is no longer full, will Ximen Longting not come back?
Why would he run away alone at this critical moment?
I wonder if she will be seriously worried...
It's been so long, why hasn't she come back yet?
"Ximen Longting..." Jing Jiaren looked at the night covered in firelight, "Ximen Longting!"
Suddenly a circle of water appeared on the surface of the water, and Ximen Longting popped his head out: "You've missed me since I haven't seen you in a while?"
Jing Jiaren stared at him with red eyes and said with fear, "Do you know how scared I am?"
I'm afraid that something might happen to him and he won't come back.
"So I rushed back right away!"
He frowned and held something in his arms, which moved slightly.
Jing Jiaren saw that it was...
"fish!?"
A pretty big fish, weighing about ten kilograms.
It turns out that Ximen Longting's so-called private business was to go to the bottom of the sea to catch food.
"Jing Jiaren, you are hungry!" Ximen Longting glared at her and said, declaratively.
After a hard day, neither of them has eaten anything. How can they not be hungry?
Jing Jiaren moved her mouth to refute, but Ximen Longting said again: "Stop being so brave, I heard your stomach growling."
"...!!!"
Jing Jiaren subconsciously covered her stomach. Did she scream? She didn't even know...
The bucket was too small to hold it, so Ximen Longting didn't intend to stuff it into the bucket. He picked up a cut-off nylon rope, passed it through the fish's gills, passed it out from the fish's mouth, and held it in his hand.
The big fat fish still turned its tail unwillingly in the air.
"A broken one can also help you catch fish..." Jing Jiaren stared at Ximen Longting as if he were an alien.
"It's better than having nothing at all and using both hands to grab it!"
That's right...
Although there are holes, air leaks from both sides of the hands.
"But it's useless if you catch fish. You have no fire, and we can't eat them raw."
Ximen Longting climbed up the wooden board, found the iron sheet, and polished it on the rocks nearby.
"Isn't it easy to be popular? It's all there before your eyes."
Jing Jiaren looked at the scene of fire in Jiaren Kingdom...
"You're going to grill fish there?" That's crazy.
Ximen Longting was busy sharpening the iron sheet. The iron sheet was already sharp enough, but he was afraid that the embroidery on it would be bad for his health.
Jing Jiaren stretched out her finger and poked the fish: "It's still alive."
"Don't touch it...it has teeth!"
Jing Jiaren took a closer look, and sure enough, the fish had sharp teeth and was breathing.
The rain was hitting it, and it was breathing heavily, looking uncomfortable.
Jing Jiaren kindly poured water on it from a bucket to make it feel more comfortable before it died.
Ximen Longting polished the blade and turned back: "What are you doing?"
"Give it some water."
"Why should I drink water if I'm going to die soon?"
"Then it would be better for you to kill it with one knife than to let it suffocate to death slowly like this."
Jing Jiaren did not dare to kill, not even chickens. Usually, the servants would take care of this before cooking. If Jing Jiaren was asked to kill fish, she would feel pitiful when looking at the fish...
In Ximen Longting's eyes, her kindness was so kind that it left him speechless.
Two people with completely different worldviews are attracted to each other.
"It's just a fish. It has no thoughts and no pain." Ximen Longting picked up a blade and cut the fish's throat, took out the gills and gall... and skillfully disemboweled it.
Jing Jiaren looked away and looked into the distance.
