It seemed that Polar Bear was not as cold-hearted as the rumors outside suggested, and there might really be a chance for Base H to make friends with Polar Bear.
Li Wenli’s lips also curled up slightly.
The children forgot their sorrows thanks to Bai Junjun’s coaxing and all fished seriously; in fact, they had neither bait nor fishing rods, and they didn’t stay in one place. Drifting along with a water grass in the river, it was absolutely impossible for them to catch any fish.
Although everyone started with high hopes since the older sister was an expert fisher and what she said couldn’t be wrong,
everyone stretched their necks and waited, but they never saw any fish, eventually showing a bit of disappointment.
Perhaps the recent flood had scared the fish into hiding at the bottom of the water.
The group only saw what was on the surface but didn’t realize that those few strands of water grass soaked in the water were also silently making an effort.
They consciously grew longer and longer, their tendrils almost reaching the riverbed.
Those tendrils, like those of an octopus, tirelessly searched the riverbed and automatically caught any live fish they encountered.
In this manner, after several attempts of exploring and catching, the water grass really "fished" up a few shiny fish.
The children were both shocked and delighted, hardly believing their own eyes.
The instigator, Bai Junjun, watched all of this calmly, not showing any sign of surprise.
Li Wenli cooperatively sat down and mingled with the children.
"Since we’re hungry, let’s eat sashimi."
Saying so, he took out the dagger he carried and swiftly cleaned, gutted, and sliced the fish.
Thankfully, in this unpolluted ancient era, they wouldn’t have dared to eat raw fish meat in the Apocalypse.
"It’s a pity we don’t have charcoal; otherwise, drifting on this place while grilling fish would have been the ultimate delight," Li Wenli muttered before looking up at Bai Junjun.
"Can you make charcoal?"
What Li Wenli asked was not about the orthodox way of making charcoal,
since Bai Junjun had Wood-series Special Ability, she could make wooden boats, probably charcoal too?
After all, charcoal is made from wood.
Bai Junjun scoffed as she ate a bite of sashimi, "Can you directly produce electricity?"
His implication was that electricity was generated by Wind Power, and as he had Wind Series Special Abilities, could he directly generate electricity?
Li Wenli was momentarily speechless.
After a while, he awkwardly scratched his nose, "Oh, I can’t. No problem; I know the primitive method. One day, I’ll make some charcoal for everyone to improve the meal."
Bai Sasa was quite surprised.
"Brother Wenli, you can make charcoal too?"
Charcoal was something nobles wouldn’t touch, as it was considered beneath their elegance.
It was unexpected that Li Wenli knew how to make charcoal.
But Bai Junjun was not surprised, "He can even make beeswax; what’s so strange about making charcoal?"
Li Wenli laughed and agreed, "Exactly, the young lady is right."
Bai Sasa glanced at the two; she couldn’t quite explain why but felt that since yesterday, the familiarity between them had deepened inexplicably.
She couldn’t pinpoint what it was, but it seemed their distance had narrowed once again.
Feeling as though she had yet again deciphered some divine secret, Bai Sasa quickly focused and earnestly started eating.
The fish meat was fresh, delicious, and incredibly tasty, even raw — not to mention Li Wenli had many spices.
He only took out oil and an unnamed spice powder, but these two alone brought a uniquely rich flavor to the sashimi.
A group savored sashimi while drifting on the lake; the fright of last night and the confusion of the morning were all temporarily forgotten amidst the rivers and mountains.
A small boat leisurely, blissfully floated towards an unknown destination.
