Cohabitation In The Wilderness: My Partner Steals My Protein

Chapter 8 Build a shelter, full of catches

The duo of Bai Piao and Yangmi, who were half full and picked a lot of blueberries, returned to the fire.

They have two pots, one for hot water and one for cold.

After taking a few sips of warm water, Bai Piao thought about how to remodel the shelter.

When he first got out this morning, he had already thought about it. The grave bag himself said that he should not drill again.

Even if it means spending the night outside by the fire tonight!

Bai Piao carefully looked at the surrounding environment. To be honest, this place is really not suitable for building a shelter.

Because it is a wild jungle where no one has ever been, it is surrounded by tall pines and cypresses, which are low shrubs.

Leaving aside the issue of fire prevention, it will take a lot of time and effort just to sort out a slightly larger open space.

For example, the one-meter-long fire protection belt he created at noon.

That is not only to remove the dead branches of weeds and shrubs growing on it, but also the rotten fallen leaves that have accumulated deep on the ground.

It's really troublesome to clean up.

However, it is not realistic to find a suitable place to build a shelter now.

The sun has already started to go west, so let's solve the problem of staying tonight first.

Bai Piao supported his exhausted body, and took an ax to chop off five branches three to four fingers thick and two to three meters long.

Then the tops of the two crossed, and one was built horizontally to form a triangular shack frame.

The two crossed pillars at one end just leaned against the thick pine tree that Bai Piao saw when he first arrived in the alien planet.

Then, put that piece of rain cloth on it.

However, because the rainproof cloth is only three meters long and wide, Bai Piao had to carefully adjust the height of the triangular hut several times.

In the end, the branches of the beam were about 1.2 meters above the ground, which not only allowed the two sides of the rainproof cloth to touch the ground, but also allowed him and Yang Mi to have enough space in the shack.

Not to be too suffocated.

Of course, although this simple shelter Bai Piao only thinks too much, but in order to stay safe and comfortable, it also needs to be tidied up.

He took Yang Mi and cut down a lot of cypress branches nearby to cover the shack and rainproof cloth.

Because the triangular exit at one end of the back is close to a big tree, thick pine branches are piled up in the gaps on both sides below.

Because the pine needles still somewhat prevent small wild animals from attacking.

The main exit is because there is a fire, as long as it is not extinguished or caught fire, their safety at night is still guaranteed.

Afterwards, Bai Piao and Yang Mi simply cleaned up the shrubs and small trees about ten meters away.

This will not only make it impossible for any wild beasts to hide nearby, but also harvest a lot of firewood.

By the time all this was done, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Because of solar terms, the sun has already set to the west.

For four days, only Bai Piao, who just ate some blueberries, was already hungry again.

He desperately needs protein.

While it was still early, he planned to go to the slow-flow area by the river again to see if the gillnets set up at noon had caught fish.

In fact, he began to think that he went there by himself, because he was not too far away.

I just wanted to let Yang Mi take a break by herself, after all, she had put in a lot of effort just now, which was hard for Boss Yang, who was a female star four days ago.

But Yang Mi has to follow him no matter what, even if there is a fire now, she doesn't want to stay alone in the shack.

Because this kind of loneliness in the wilderness is really uncomfortable.

And there was a good reason for her to go with them, that is, the pot of water they fetched before was exhausted because they had been working and consumed a lot.

Need to fetch water again.

When they came to the place where the gillnet was set up, Bai Piao and Yang Mi moved the small tree tied with the gillnet to the bank sideways.

The constant thumping of the water and the vibrations from the small tree trunks certainly did not mean that they had caught more than one fish.

Finally, there was food, and another force surged out of Bai Piao's excited body.

Originally, they could only move the small tree sideways due to their weakness, but now they exploded, throwing the small tree and the gillnet to the shore in one fell swoop.

Then, the two quickly looked at the catch.

There are five fish in total, and they are not small in size!

This is not only because no one has ever visited this wild river, and it is rich in fishery resources.

It is also because the place where Bai Piao and the others cast their nets happens to be a slow-flow area where the river bends, so there are more fish in this area.

Moreover, the gillnets they weave have relatively large meshes, so it is not possible to catch small fish.

Three crucian carp, each of which was as long as one hand, weighed more than half a catty.

The other one is slightly larger, a small carp nearly two bundles long.

The last one is rather weird, with a long mouth, pointed teeth, and black spots all over its body. It is four to fifty centimeters long and weighs six to seven catties.

The overall appearance is very similar to the alligator gar rounded up by the whole net some time ago.

But this is not an alligator gar, but a black-spotted pike.

The reason why Bai Piao knew each other was that when he was in school in Northeast China, he was treated by a rich classmate in his class. He ate it once and it tasted extremely delicious.

After he came back from eating, he went to the Internet to check it out.

Only then did I know that the black-spotted pike belongs to the Northeast of the planters, the Far East of the Maoxiong, and a unique fish in Siberia.

Ferocious by nature, crucian carp and carp are their food.

The pike caught by the gillnet should have been accidentally entangled while chasing food.

In any case, there is food for the next few days.

Bai Piao and Yang Mi laughed happily with so many fish.

It's getting late, so I have to start tidying up quickly.

Bai Piao picked up a larger stone by the river, and gave these fish a physical extension first.

Then he used a short knife to cut deeply at each fish's tail.

This is to let off the blood in the fish body, which can not only make the fish look better, but also remove the strong fishy smell of the fish itself.

It is also because there are enough fish, otherwise this fish blood is also a rare protein supplement.

However, to be on the safe side, the fish is put directly in the water when bleeding.

The noses of beasts are very smart, so if any beasts are attracted by the smell of blood.

This is not only fish, but both Bai Piao and Yang Mi may have delivered takeaways to others.

They can't help being careless!

And anyway, this fish has been physically surpassed, even if it is thrown into the water, it can't escape.

After draining the blood, Bai Piao disemboweled the fish separately and disposed of the internal organs luxuriously.

Or because they have caught too much fish, they can't finish it all at once and are afraid of spoiling it, so it's better to keep the good meat.

Otherwise, this miscellaneous fish is also a rare delicacy, and now many restaurants list this separately as a dish.

Also, it is said that it is a luxury, but it is not simply thrown away.

Bai Piao was thrown to the surrounding area where he was going to continue to cast the gillnet, and it was right to make a nest.

Of course, this fish bubble, also called swim bladder in some places, is not thrown away. This is a good thing, and it has many uses!
