After saying that, Zhang Liu smiled, shrugged his shoulders, turned around and left in a cool manner.
For him, instead of chatting about the topics of being a good match and whether they are suitable for each other over afternoon tea with two girls who are destined to be only classmates in this remote place, it would be better to go to the beach to see if there is anything he can pick up and stuff into his mouth.
Only mentally ill people would fall in love on an empty stomach.
But after Zhang Liu left, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya looked at each other, and then fell into a little dilemma again.
"Is he... angry?" Looking quietly in the direction where Zhang Liu left, Anya asked worriedly in a low voice, "Will he not want us anymore?"
"..."
Qin Ruoshuang did not answer, but just hugged her knees with her hands and stared at the beach in front of her, as if she was counting the number of gravels on it.
This was a self-protection behavior after she fell into fear, and Qin Ruoshuang was also afraid.
Because after thinking about it, she understood one thing very clearly.
That is if I really only rely on myself here.
Not to mention finding the subsequent living place and starting the fire in front of him, just the stage of floating on the sea was enough to kill him.
If Zhang Liu really felt a rift between himself and Anya because of what he said just now, and the three of them went their separate ways...
She didn't want to see or bear the consequences.
With her fingers tightly gripping her knees, Qin Ruoshuang only felt a faint pain in her lower abdomen again.
As the person who started the topic, she already felt too much guilt.
Zhang Liu would rather sleep outside than give the foam board to herself when she was having her period...
The first sip of coconut milk is also...
He even took the initiative to test whether the fruit was poisonous...
And yet I am still talking about others behind their backs!
Biting her lips hard, Qin Ruoshuang not only felt pain in her lower abdomen, but also felt as if her intestines were turning green with regret.
She felt like a shameless villain, a gadfly clinging to Zhang Liu and sucking his blood...
No, it should be worse than the blood-sucking gadfly. At least it won't be disgusted after sucking your blood...
"You're bleeding." Anya's panicked voice brought Qin Ruoshuang back to her senses.
Following the other person's gaze, she reached out and touched her lips, and the warm and moist feeling immediately stuck to her fingers.
Only then did Qin Ruoshuang realize that she had bitten her lip and it was bleeding.
The crystal-like chin was also tinged with a shocking red.
"It's okay, I accidentally bit my mouth." The pink tip of her tongue slid down, and she held the blood in her mouth and tasted it carefully.
The light salty smell calmed Qin Ruoshuang down a little.
Standing up, she walked towards the woods near the cave.
"What are you doing?" Anya jogged after him and asked.
"Picking up wood. No matter what, we will definitely not be woken up by the cold tomorrow morning." Qin Ruoshuang answered with a smile. She seemed to have returned to her previous normal and calm state.
Following Qin Ruoshuang to pick up wood, Anya could not hide her worry in her eyes.
A thought flashed through her mind...
Could this guy be so guilty that he has lost his mind?
........................
Zhang Liu is very lucky, or maybe a man's success really requires him to put women aside.
In the puddle on the rocky beach after the tide receded, he saw what he had always dreamed of encountering, a fish.
Zhang Liu didn't know what kind of fish it was.
But it's a fish.
The classic streamlined body is at least half a meter long and appears to weigh more than ten pounds.
At this moment, it was lying in a pit where there was still some water, jumping hard, swinging its body and fins wildly, as if it wanted to return to the sea again.
How could Zhang Liu let go of this God-given food? He rushed over quickly.
The sea fish stopped struggling, perhaps because it had run out of strength.
A pair of clear fish eyes stared at Zhang Liu who was running over.
Zhang Liu also stared at the eyes of the fish in front of him with anticipation.
In his opinion, this thing was the dinner for himself, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya!
Even if you remove the internal organs, scales, bones and so on of this fish, there will probably still be a lot of meat left.
Meat...protein...flavorful...
In order to prevent good things from being wasted, Zhang Liu did not hesitate. He picked up the fish and ran towards the cave where the three people were staying temporarily.
If Zhang Liu wasn't afraid of parasites and wanted to cook the fish before eating, he would have wanted to just take a bite of the fish head to taste the meat.
Chapter 27: Depression is something that only people who have enough food to eat can experience.
"Qin Ruoshuang, Anya! Look what good stuff I brought back!"
Just when Qin Ruoshuang and Anya finished collecting firewood and sat down to continue their depressing chat.
Zhang Liu returned to the camp holding a fish as long as his upper body, with an extremely excited expression.
"It's fish! We have meat to eat!" Anya directly transformed from a depressed state to an excited state.
Qin Ruoshuang, who had a gloomy face just now, now had an expectant look on her face. She then took the initiative to run forward to help catch the fish, which was frantically whipping Zhang Liu's cheek with its tail in a final struggle.
"Quick! Get rid of it!"
Anya took the initiative to hand over the piece of metal that would soon come in handy, her tone full of courtesy.
But Zhang Liu caught the metal piece and then stood there awkwardly.
"Well... I don't know how to handle such a big fish." Scratching his head, he said awkwardly: "Do you have any experience?"
Although he had to take care of his two younger sisters, Zhang Liu would occasionally buy some fresh seafood and kill it at home to cook.
But the level of the sea fish in front of him was so high that he had no idea where to start.
After all, large marine fish are too expensive, and Zhang Liu, who is in financial difficulty, cannot possibly buy some to eat at home, let alone research how to process them.
In his opinion, the two girls around him, whose families are relatively wealthy, should have seen how their families handle sea fish, right?
Being looked at expectantly by Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoshuang shook her head to indicate that she did not understand at all.
Anya said shyly, "I only have experience in raising calves at my own cattle farm, and I have never handled fish."
Although Anya seemed to have said something that made her very concerned and her crotch obviously felt cold.
But Zhang Liu still squeezed his legs together to make his balls feel a little safer, and then quickly returned to reality.
He clenched his teeth and looked at the fish in front of him that was gradually stopping moving. Then he said helplessly: "Then let me try?"
Zhang Liu carried the sea fish to the nearest beach, but he did not dare to put it directly into the water.
If this guy faked his death, then he would be in great shape.
So he lifted the sea fish high up, then grabbed the fish's tail tightly and swung it hard, just like the fish-killing scenes he saw in the vegetable market.
"Boom..."
There was a unique muffled sound from knocking.
I will never die with my eyes in peace...
Or perhaps fish don't need to moisten their eyes, so most of them don't have the ability to blink.
The sea fish's head was hit repeatedly on the beach, making several dull sounds. The fish blood that was scattered all over the sky due to the swinging also began to emit a unique fishy smell.
The fish released the last bit of spinal nerve reaction and began to twitch continuously.
Qin Ruoshuang and Anya, who followed along, stood by and watched the scene.
As girls, they were all a little scared. After all, the smell of blood in the air was too strong, and Zhang Liu's swing was very large, so several streaks of fish blood passed by the two of them.
"I'm starting to feel that Zhang Liu is a little scared now." Anya watched Zhang Liu scraping the fish's body with a piece of metal to remove the scales. She whispered to Qin Ruoshuang beside her, "He seems very excited."
"It's okay!" Qin Ruoshuang took a deep breath and walked to Zhang Liu, who was having a headache because of the slow progress of scaling, and asked, "Zhang Liu, how can I help you?"
When she was asking the question, she deliberately avoided looking at the bloody corpse of the sea fish.
But after hesitating for half a second, Qin Ruoshuang still set her sights on the sea fish.
The scarlet blood, along with the fishy smell that became pungent as it got closer, immediately created a double blow to her vision and smell.
Qin Ruoshuang's face turned pale in an instant.
You have to know that under the protection of her family, she only needs to sit in the living room at home and wait for the cook to bring her the prepared meals.
You will never be exposed to any scenes of slaughter.
Even if I occasionally go to so-called farm stays to experience the local customs and culture.
It is impossible to start by killing chickens and ducks.
When Qin Ruoshuang has time to watch the cooking process in the farm house kitchen.
Ingredients such as duck and chicken had already been bled and placed neatly on the plate.
Maybe some green vegetables will be added as decoration.
Therefore, the authentic scene of Zhang Liu processing the sea fish was really a huge stimulation to her.
Anya, who ran over closely behind, seemed relatively calm.
She had experience playing on her family's cattle farm since she was a child, although she had never seen such a bloody scene.
But Anya had helped Xiao Niu Gan Niuzi several times at the instigation of her mother who had a bad taste in life.
I have some experience with surgery.
"Ah...it's better if you don't help." Zhang Liu looked up at the two girls beside him strangely, feeling a little puzzled.
When processing fish at home, my two younger sisters would stay away for fear that the fish blood would splash on them.
Why did Qin Ruoshuang and Anya come over here?
However, even though he was puzzled, he also explained why he didn't need help: "This metal blade doesn't have a handle, so it's hard to exert force accurately. The fish is so sticky. If you come to help, you might scratch it... Hey? Qin Ruoshuang, why is there blood on your chin?"
Holding the metal piece carefully, Zhang Liu stopped processing the sea fish and looked at Qin Ruoshuang with concern.
He found that not only was there blood on the other person's chin, but his face was also extremely pale.
Is this my period coming back?
Some speculative thoughts flashed through Zhang Liu's mind.
"I'm fine..." Qin Ruoshuang shook her head, and then said to Zhang Liu: "I just want to do something..."
Anya, who was standing nearby, also said, "Yes, Zhang Liu, I want to help you with something, too."
"Ah... then why don't you go pick some jaboticaba?" Zhang Liu looked up at the sun that was gradually setting, and then said to the two of them, "Is that okay?"
"Okay!" Qin Ruoshuang nodded repeatedly, and Anya also showed an expression that she finally had a job to do.
Zhang Liu started to give instructions seriously.
"You have to pay attention to the time. It takes quite a distance to walk back to the cave from there. When the sun starts to turn red, you should go back immediately. Pick as many as you can. Don't be greedy."
"If it really gets dark halfway, then sleep near the beach, and never in the forest. This way it will be safer, and it will also be convenient for me to come find you."
"Yeah, don't worry, Zhang Liu, you and I have been there several times!" Anya smiled with ease, then pulled Qin Ruoshuang and ran away.
As for Zhang Liu, he continued to lower his head and process the sea fish.
He understood that removing the scales from the fish was only the first step.
The next step is to cut open the stomach, clean the internal organs, cut it into several pieces and roast it.
The only tool that can be used is this piece of metal which is only barely sharp.
