The pig had no choice but to return to the Five Fiends Mountains …
Qiqi was getting weaker and weaker these days, her face pale and pale. Other than when she ate, she spent most of her time lying on the ground …
Lin Yi saw this and panicked, but there was nothing he could do.
Today was the twentieth day- if they couldn't leave by then, Qiqi … Lin Yi didn't even dare think about it.
"Qiqi, what do you think? Are you hungry? " Lin Yi had been chatting with Qiqi since early in the morning, but it was Lin Yi who talked the most and Qiqi who didn't respond at all. She was simply too weak right now, and didn't have the strength to talk anymore.
"Hungry? I think so … But I don't want to eat grilled fish anymore, it's too dry, I want to eat something else … "Qiqi said weakly.
"You don't want to eat … But there's only grilled fish here!" Truth be told, Lin Yi was getting sick of the food he'd been eating for the past couple of days. He didn't eat much, but he was a spiritual practitioner and had the jade to replenish his energy. Qiqi, on the other hand, couldn't rely on qi to replenish her energy. She could only rely on food.
"Then I won't eat anymore …" Qiqi closed her eyes with that.
"Alright, I'll go look into other ways to keep the water in the fish." Lin Yi said after some thought.
"En … Thank you …" Qiqi was very touched. Lin Yi's meticulous care these days- Qiqi's impression of Lin Yi had increased quite a bit. It wasn't the romantic type, but she saw Lin Yi as her closest friend.
"Haha, it's fine." Lin Yi got up and went fishing, thinking about how to keep the water in the fish. There was no pot here, and there wasn't a hole for a pot. Even Tian Chan wouldn't be able to make a hole in the hard ground like this, let alone Lin Yi.
And so, Lin Yi automatically eliminated the idea of cooking the fish- he had to think of other ways … Suddenly, Lin Yi's eyes stopped at the lake not far away!
The soil around the lake was soil, but it was close to the lakeside. Lin Yi couldn't dig a hole here, and he couldn't use his refinement fire to heat up the entire lake. But he remembered an island survival training he'd received when he was young. He'd used soil to wrap an entire fish, roasted it with fire, and then peeled the soil away to reveal that the fish was fresh and tender. It wasn't burnt at all, and all the moisture was retained!
This was the inspiration Lin Yi got from the beggar's chicken. Back on the island, Lin Yi made this type of fish, and Lin Yi decided to go back to making it for Qiqi.
After catching the fish, Lin Yi cleaned it up by the lakeside and dug out some mud from the lake, wrapping the fish in it before roasting it.
Half an hour later, Lin Yi came back to the place he was resting with Qiqi with a pile of mud.
"Qiqi, get up and eat!" Lin Yi put the mud balls on the ground.
"Ah? What's this … Eh? What's this? " Qiqi looked at the mud balls Lin Yi had thrown on the ground. She didn't know what was edible about them.
"This is called mud fish. You break the hard shell, and the inside is exposed to the fresh meat. You can eat it. The result of grilling it this way is that the water won't dry out." Lin Yi said, "You don't want to eat grilled fish anymore, right?"
"Ah … …" Qiqi's eyes went wide with disbelief. She stared at the ball of mud on the ground, lost in thought, not saying a word for a while … …
"What's wrong? You've never seen it before? It's actually very tasty. Let me show you! " Lin Yi thought that Qiqi didn't want to eat it. He picked up a mud ball and broke it, revealing the tender flesh inside. It was delicious, and all the water had been preserved. "Here!"
Lin Yi gave it to Qiqi.
"Yeah …" Qiqi felt like she was back in her childhood. Back then, her father had given them an island survival test, throwing her and the rest of the team into different locations on different islands. Qiqi was very lucky, being thrown onto the same island as her brother Ah Yi. Of course, she didn't know if it was her father's doing or not.
There was no food or water on the island, much better than this valley. However, Ah Yi's brother had used plastic bags to collect the dew on the leaves as drinking water, catching fish in the sea and roasting it for her.
After eating it for many days, Qiqi didn't really like roasted fish anymore. She told Ah Yi that she wanted a change, and Ah Yi's brother racked his brains and made her a roasted fish wrapped in mud, fresh and juicy. It was a memory that was fresh in Qiqi's mind!
What she remembered wasn't just the taste of the roasted fish, but the beautiful memories of Ah Yi's brother's love and care for her! Qiqi's heart had already fallen in love with him back then.
Now, at the bottom of the cliff, Qiqi was once again looking at this delicacy from her memories. She couldn't help but feel emotional. The people who made it were different, but they were all so caring and protective of her …
Yang Qiqi took a bite of the fish- the taste brought tears to her eyes- it was exactly the same as the one in her memories. In her haze, Yang Qiqi felt like she was back in her childhood, back on that deserted island. Her tears flowed down her cheeks, landing on the fish, but she didn't care as she carefully ate the fish …
This fish wasn't just a delicacy, it was a form of longing and attachment …
Qiqi's crying gave Lin Yi quite the fright! Even if the mud fish wasn't good, it shouldn't be so bad that she was crying, right? Lin Yi scratched his head, not knowing what to do. Didn't Yang Xiaoxiao say that it was delicious when they were kids? Could it be that his skills had deteriorated after all these years?
The five energies had invaded Qiqi's body, making her so weak that she was about to faint, but at this moment, she was very happy.
What surprised Lin Yi even more was the fact that this roasted fish wasn't delicious … Why was Qiqi eating it so fast? Was it delicious? Then why was she crying? Was she afraid that the five energies would invade her body and kill her?
Thinking about it, Lin Yi felt that this was most likely the case. He quickly comforted her, "Qiqi, don't cry. I'm here, we'll be fine. You won't die, don't worry … If you really did die, I wouldn't be able to explain it to Master!"
