The bright silver fish scales reflected beautiful light under the moonlight. The freshwater fish that was pulled out of the water by the hook was still hanging on the hook and struggling hard.

"Wow, what is this? Commander?!" Marian stared at the beautiful big fish, and excitedly jumped across the stream to Green's side.

"This is fish."

Green took the two-foot-long fish off the hook and placed it in Marian's hand.

She stared at the fish thrashing in her hands, her eyes curled up like crescent moons. "Commander, it looks so weird!"

"So can it be turned into meat? Can it be eaten now?"

"Of course, but you can't eat raw fish. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't eat raw food like Snow White. You have to cook it over an open fire before eating it, Marianne." Green touched her head and explained with a smile.

"By the way, why don't you try fishing too."

Green handed her the fishing rod.

Marian took the fishing rod timidly and looked up at her commander: "Commander, do you mean, I should go fishing?"

“There is a first time for everything.”

"Here, this is a worm I just caught in the mud. Put it on the hook."

"Go ahead, I'll be watching."

Green patted Marian's shoulder gently.

With his encouragement, Marian grabbed the fishing rod, put bait on the hook, sat by the stream, and began fishing in style.

"Yeah, the posture is very standard."

"This girl is really talented."

Honglian observed Marian's movements for a while. As a swordsman, she was always very meticulous in observing others.

After observing for a while, Honglian realized that Marian was gifted.

She is very good at imitating other people's movements, postures, and even expressions.

Although she may not understand why she does this now, but relying on her extraordinary learning and imitation abilities, this girl will definitely be able to excel in whatever she does in the future.

"Master."

"Marianne is a very talented girl. Why don't you let her learn swordsmanship from me?"

Honglian looked at Green who walked to her side and asked him to sit down.

Green nodded: "If you want to teach her a few moves, I have no objection at all. As for whether she can learn it or not, that depends on her."

"It doesn't matter. The journey is long, and there is always some free time along the way."

"That's right, Master."

"Why not have a drink on this beautiful day?"

Honglian reached out and rummaged through her clothes, and took out two wine glasses from somewhere. She also took out a bottle of wine from her bag and poured the wine into the glasses.

Green held a wine glass and looked at Honglian's profile. "Drinking while fishing? Aren't you afraid the fish might run away?"

Honglian shook the wine glass in her hand and smiled: "Young Master is not a fish, so how can you think that a fish can recognize a drunk person?"

"Red Lotus is not a fish, so how do you know a fish can't recognize a drunk person?"

"Hmm~"

"sophistry."

Honglian raised her head and drank the sake in the cup in one gulp.

Then she skillfully raised her rod and brought ashore the big fish that had taken the bait without any hesitation.

"Are the fish in this stream so easy to catch?" Green took a sip of the sake in the glass and stared at the silver-scaled freshwater fish of unknown species, feeling a little strange.

"That's because the fish are used to a comfortable life." Honglian dropped the fish into the bucket she had prepared in advance and said, "A hundred years is enough time for most fish in the world to forget that cunning creatures like humans still exist in this world."

"Master, look at the fish in this stream. Don't they look like the kind of young people who just entered society and were lured by scammers with a little profit?"

"So, fishing is also a kind of deception." Green stroked his chin and put forward a point.

"Using fragrant bait to lure a fish into taking the bait, and then just when it's enchanted by the small profit, it suddenly turns around and finds itself at the mercy of others. Isn't this also a form of deception?" Honglian smiled faintly and said, "Young Master, be careful. There's no such thing as a free lunch, especially in human society. If you're not careful, you could end up being someone else's meal."

"So, is this glass of wine also a kind of bait?"

Green swirled the sake in his glass.

He looked at Honglian, but found a sly smile in the corner of her eyes.

"Master, what do you mean? I just want to invite you for a drink. How could I have other thoughts?"

"Is this true?"

"It's true~"

"Then I'll go fish in the river ahead."

Seeing Green get up and leave.

Honglian suddenly reached out and pulled him back with all her strength.

"Come here, who told you to leave?"

"You drank my fine wine and you still want to get away with it. Master, how can such a good thing happen in this world?"

"Raise your cups, and let's have another drink."

Green sat down, feeling both amused and helpless, and had no choice but to drink another glass with her.

Although Honglian usually looks soft-hearted, he is actually a ruthless person with ulterior motives in his words.

But when you finally understand what she means, you find that you have been trapped by the swordsman.

Under the moonlight, Honglian, Green and Marian were fishing happily.

Perhaps it was because the fish in this stream had never seen the cruel methods of humans. After only an hour, Honglian's fish bucket was already full of freshwater fish.

"Let me count them. Hmm~ We've had quite a good catch this time. We actually have eight fresh and delicious freshwater fish."

"Where's Marianne?"

"Commander, Honglian, I also caught a lot of fish, look!" On the other side, Marian, who was having a great time fishing, ran over excitedly with a bunch of lively fish in her arms, showing off her trophy to the two.

"Well, you are worthy of being my Marianne." Green touched her hair and praised her.

"Hehe, thanks to the commander's encouragement, I was able to catch so many fish." Marian smiled and put the fish in her arms into the bucket.

"We've had a good catch today. I bet Snow White's mouth is watering."

"Let's go back."

Honglian picked up the full fish bucket, and the three of them walked back in the direction they came from.

Soon, they saw Snow White, who was still watching near the camp.

"came back?"

"Not only did she come back, but she also caught a lot of fish." Honglian raised the bucket of fish in her hand and said with a smile, "Of course, most of them were caught by Marian. This girl is really gifted and can learn things at a glance."

"W-what?"

"So many fish, am I dreaming?"

Snow White's eyes widened.

As the one with the ability to survive among the three pioneers but who doesn't like to spend time farming and fishing, Snow White has never fought such a rich battle in the past few decades of sleeping in the wild.

There are nearly twenty fish in that bucket!

With so many fish, I can’t imagine how full I’ll be tonight.

Rapunzel smiled and said, "Then let's make a fire, which we haven't seen in a long time. But for safety, let's make it small."

"I'll cook the fish. Can Honglian and Brother help me with it?"

"it is good."

"give it to me."

Snow White wiped her mouth and said cheekily, "Then I'll prepare the food."

Rapunzel looked at her and said, "Snow White, could you please wipe your saliva? It's running down your chin."

"Drooling is normal, it's okay."

"Then please go and set up the jammer."

Rapunzel pulled a ball of arranged hair from her bosom and handed it over.

Her hair has a special function that can block Letcher's scans to a certain extent, which is similar to the "Letcher Bait" made by Ark.

Snow White took her hair and nodded, "Okay, I'll go set up the jammer."

"......"

She took two steps forward, then turned around, looking at Rapunzel and the others, as if a little worried. "You guys aren't going to eat first, are you?"

Rapunzel sighed inaudibly, then said, "We'll wait for you to come back and eat together."

"Well, that's good. I believe you."

After hearing this satisfactory answer, the starving ghosts in the team finally took the initiative to set up the jammer.

Rapunzel took out a square fire starter from her bosom, put together the branches and firewood that everyone had picked up, and started a small bonfire.

Looking at the open fire before her, Rapunzel sat down and sighed, "Fire, it's so nostalgic."

"On the ground, there's rarely a chance of starting a fire, especially at night. The weather is cold, and Letcher hides in the darkness. Starting a fire would be tantamount to exposing his position, Marianne. Do you remember this?"

"remember."

"Of course, it's not impossible to light a fire. As long as you set bait in advance and take precautions, it's not bad to have a hot meal every now and then."

"Honglian, brother, please give me a hand."

Rapunzel handed the two fish to them.

Green took out his saber and scraped off the fish scales with a snap. He then carefully removed the fish's internal organs before putting the processed fish back into the bucket.

As for Honglian, she was much cleaner and more efficient than him.

She swung the sword a few times, and the sword flashed by, and then she cleaned the fish in her hand, as if it was not the first time she had done this.

Marian sat aside, curiously watching the two men perform the operation. After he had finished the work, she asked, "Commander, why do you need to remove the scales and internal organs?"

Green glanced at the fish intestines on the ground: "Because those parts can't be eaten."

"But Snow White said that anything that can be eaten should be tried."

"Don't listen to her nonsense. She's just a starving ghost. If bricks were edible, she wouldn't mind trying them."

"Can you eat bricks?"

"You can't eat bricks."

“Why can’t you eat bricks?”

"Because bricks contain elements that humans cannot digest."

"Then why can't the human stomach digest these elements?"

"because..."

While killing the fish, Green patiently taught Marian.

Listening to the questions and answers between the two, Honglian, who was standing next to them, just watched and felt that education was such a difficult thing.

Marianne happened to be the type who was extremely curious.

As soon as you finish explaining the previous question, the next one comes out of her mouth.

"It can be seen that Marianne is a very studious girl."

After killing the fish, Honglian put down the wine glass and poured herself a glass of wine.

Now that the work is done, it's time to drink.
