Xu Zhixuan and Pu Baoying were relieved when they saw Zheng Xiyuan put the eel into the nylon bag. After all, accidents were very common. Plus, Zheng Xiyuan was a hot-tempered person. If Zheng Xiyuan had not been told by Xu Zhixuan that he had to put the eel into the bag before showing off, Zheng Xiyuan would have raised the bag and shouted, "Brother, there's another one swimming over there. Put it down quickly!"
"Oh, I see. I thought his personality had really changed!" It was strange that Zheng Xiyuan did not cheer when he put the eel into the bag. Now that he heard Zheng Xiyuan's words, he knew what the root of the problem was. However, Xu Zhixuan was also anxious. After Zheng Xiyuan walked away, he quickly put down the hanging net, leaving only four tree trunks floating on the water.
Zheng Xiyuan did not plan to go ashore. He waited next to the hanging net. The rain was getting heavier, which made Xu Zhixuan frown slightly. Pu Zhengzhe just happened to return. Xu Zhixuan handed over the right to operate the hanging net and returned to the shelter alone.
"Why did you come back?"
Hearing VJ's question, Xu Zhixuan smiled and answered, "You should pay attention to the weather. It was drizzling. Although it is not heavy now, it is going to rain. So I came back to fix the shelter and try to build a wall to block the rain on three sides."
Xu Zhixuan's worry was very necessary. Just as he built a wall with the tree trunks of one side of the shack, the heavy rain poured down. Because of this, the people who went to catch the eel hurriedly put away the hanging net. Jin Bingwan did not care about finding a good spot. He hurriedly threw the fish cage into the pond and ran back to the shelter with the crowd.
"You guys be careful. The single-plank bridge is a little slippery. Don't worry!"
Xu Zhixuan's field of vision was very wide. When he saw the members coming back, they had to cross the bridge made of fallen trees on the river. Now that the rain was heavy, it was especially difficult to walk. Xu Zhixuan also put down his things, ran to the riverside, and shouted loudly.
Accidents always happened when one was careless. Zheng Xiyuan was originally carrying the net, so when he walked on the bridge, it was very difficult for him to see the road under his feet. Xu Zhixuan seemed to know the other party's problem, so he walked on the single-plank bridge and prepared to help. Unfortunately, Zheng Xiyuan's impetuous nature did not change. He seemed to be very confident that he could cross the single-plank bridge. In his carelessness, he slipped and fell into the river.
"Ya Xi!" Xu Zhixuan didn't care about the slippery tree trunk. He quickly ran over and jumped in. However, Zheng Xiyuan was a Marine after all, so even if there was a bit of a rapid river, it couldn't stop him. He quickly emerged from the water. Because he was holding the net in his hand, it was very difficult to swim.
"Why are you so stubborn? Why don't you throw the net first? " Xu Zhixuan pulled Zheng Xiyuan to the shore. The other members also ran over to show their concern. Xu Zhixuan was a little angry. There was something wrong with this child's brain. If the net was gone, it could be made again. A person's life was not a joke. When Xu Zhixuan swam to Zheng Xiyuan's side, he saw that Zheng Xiyuan was still holding on to the net. He was speechless.
Zheng Xiyuan smiled foolishly and said, "Brother, this is what you spent an afternoon making. Moreover, we will need to rely on it to eat fish in the future. Besides, I was born in the Navy. I have been in the sea. This small river is nothing. "
"Don't be complacent. Often, those who drown are masters of swimming!" Xu Zhixuan didn't know what to say at the moment. After coldly scolding, he took him to the production team's camp. He had to quickly dry his body and change his clothes. Otherwise, it would be easy to catch a cold in this heavy rain.
"Haha!" Zheng Xiyuan laughed foolishly. He knew that Xu Zhixuan was doing it for his own good. He scolded him because he cared about him, so he didn't refute. When Xu Zhixuan pulled him, he didn't break away and trotted with Xu Zhixuan.
After changing clothes and drinking a bowl of hot tea, they finally got rid of the cold. When the two returned to the shelter, they saw that under the leadership of Jin Bingwan, they were doing the work left behind by Xu Zhixuan. The two didn't say much and joined the team. In less than half an hour, the three empty walls were covered by tree trunks and linen, which blocked the rain.
"Everyone, drink some hot tea to warm up!" Xu Zhixuan collected the remaining half of the hot tea they drank in the production team's camp and brought it back to share with the other members. Although everyone had a small lid and finished it in a few sips, the energy in the hot tea warmed everyone's stomachs.
"The weather changes so quickly. When we came here, the sky was clear and the sun was still high up in the sky. Now it's suddenly raining. It's really hard to understand!" As the patriarch, Jin Bingwan always had the right to build the shelter. It was also because he didn't think it would rain, so he didn't take any measures to shelter them from the wind and rain. If Xu Zhixuan hadn't realized something was wrong and came back to save them, perhaps the place where they were lying now would have been soaked by the rain.
"The weather, we're not the weather bureau. How would we know?" Xu Zhixuan used a joking attitude to cover up Jin Bingwan's self-blame for his wrong judgment. Even if the weather was bad and the fire was extinguished by the rain, everyone was in a good mood. Because of the power of the hanging net and the addition of Jin Bingwan, they caught a few more. If it wasn't for the sudden downpour, they might have been able to get one eel per person.
But even so, the harvest was still not to be underestimated. In addition to the eel caught by Xu Zhixuan, they caught five more eels one after another. There were a total of six eels. They added up to seven people, so six eels were enough for them to eat. Since they had the ingredients for dinner, now they just had to wait for the rain to slow down and start a fire to roast the fish.
"Come, let's make a shelter for the campfire." Because the rain didn't slow down, Xu Zhixuan couldn't help but borrow some nylon cloth from the staff. He was going to make a shelter around the campfire to block the rain. "You guys dig a hole over there. Everyone hurry up and try to eat the eels as soon as possible."
While Xu Zhixuan and the other men were busy, Pu Baoying, who was a woman, was not idle. She took out the eel and prepared to clean it. However, she had only learned how to deal with dead fish. After releasing one, she suddenly became flustered. Fortunately, she was next to the shack. Jin Bingwan saw it and stepped forward. He stepped on the eel's head a few times and directly stomped it to death.
"Oh, too … too …" Pu Baoying was shocked by the other party's behavior. It was too fierce. It suddenly made her feel that the eels were very pitiful. They were about to be their food, but they were stepped on by others. They had no dignity. But do eels have dignity? It can only be said that we can't guess the psychology of women.
"It's okay. After you release the eels, use a stone to smash their heads. If you don't smash them to death, it will be difficult for you to control them!" After demonstrating once, Jin Bingwan only explained the details of dealing with the eels to Pu Baoying. He left the rest to her and joined the work of building the shack.
However, Jin Bingwan had good intentions. He wanted to give Pu Baoying more screen time. One must know that dealing with eels could show a woman's professionalism. Even if she didn't know how to do it, if she learned seriously, when she got married in the future, her future mother-in-law would be satisfied. However, it could only be said that Jin Bingwan was thinking too much.
After they finished building the shack and cleared the wet bonfire, they started the fire again. The sky was already dark, and the heat of the fire made the members unconsciously come closer. It was only when their stomachs complained that they remembered Pu Baoying, who was dealing with the eels at the side.
It turned out that after Pu Baoying dealt with the eel that Jin Bingwan had stomped to death, she had released a new eel. She held the stone in her hand and refused to lay it on the stone. She kept muttering, "Eel, eel, I really don't want to kill you, but if I don't kill you, I'll starve. Uncles, after working hard, we won't have anything to eat. Can you not move? Don't worry, I'll hit you gently. I definitely won't let you feel any pain …" Xu Zhixuan and the others were standing behind her, so Pu Baoying didn't notice her cute scene.
Hearing the laughter, Pu Baoying seemed to have found her savior. She turned her head and was ready to ask for help. However, when she saw the other members standing behind her, how could she not know that her muttering just now was seen by everyone? She said shyly, "I … I can't do it!"
"Okay, you can go to the bonfire to warm your body!" Although she was wearing a raincoat, Pu Baoying was still shivering in the rain. It seemed that this girl had been in the rain for a long time. It was also their negligence that they forgot that Pu Baoying was a city girl. If it were other people, the eels would have already been dealt with when they started the fire.
Pu Baoying shook her head and refused. She followed everyone and helped them. With the help of Xu Zhixuan and the other six men, the eels were dealt with in less than a few minutes. Then they felt that the eels began to drip oil on the grill.
"It seems that this eel is very oily!"
Xu Zhixuan smiled as he looked at the oil dripping onto the bonfire, causing the flames to flicker. After all, it was better for everyone to have a chat than to watch the eels swallow their saliva. This way, they could strengthen their relationship with each other, and secondly, they could fight for more weight.
"Speaking of which, it's my fault for not paying attention. Before it rains in Korea, there will be a lot of floating monsters. That's why there are so many sandflies. Because it's going to rain soon!" Jin Bingwan, as the patriarch and the leader of all the members, still blamed himself for his mistake. If it weren't for Xu Zhixuan who discovered it early and remedied it in time, they wouldn't even have a place to sleep now.
"Brother, how can this be your fault? We are not familiar with this place, so we can't blame you!" Xu Zhixuan comforted him. Because he also didn't understand it. Could it be that when there were a lot of insects, it would rain? It did make sense, but some terrains were different. For example, the place where they got water on Chatham Island was full of mosquitoes. But it didn't rain.
After Xu Zhixuan spoke, the other members also comforted him. After all, they really couldn't blame Jin Bingwan. When they arrived, the sky was cloudless, and the sun was still very bright. Who would have thought that a heavy rain would suddenly appear?
"Actually, I …"
After everyone expressed their feelings during this period of time, the eels were also cooked. With it joining them, the atmosphere reached its climax. If there was no rain, everyone's mood would probably be even better.
