Chapter 1335: Sashimi
The ice was very thick. It took an unknown amount of time to finally carve out a hole as big as an adult's head. The ice was as deep as a child's arm. The water under the ice was clear and warm.
The water was warm, with white steam, which formed a sharp contrast with the thick ice.
"Why is this water hot?" Bai Zhi was puzzled. Even the two guards who were carving the ice were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. The thermos that they had stretched out to get water was retracted again.
Hu Lichangtian said: "I don't know why. This lake is very special. In summer, the ice is thin and can be easily broken. The water under the ice is hot. It's just warm to the touch now, but it's hot in summer."
As he was talking, Xiao Qing suddenly pointed at the ice hole and said: "There are fish. Look, there are fish."
The guard was quick-witted and reacted very quickly. He took out his long sword and stabbed it into the ice hole. The strange thing was that even with his skills, he couldn't stab the fish. The fish's reaction speed was faster than his sword.
Another guard in front of the ice hole also drew his sword, but unfortunately, when he raised his sword, there was nothing.
The two guards stood at the entrance of the cave, kept seeing fish, and kept stabbing in, but they couldn't get a single fish.
Bai Zhi looked at the situation and said: "We can't go on like this. We have to think of another way."
Hu Lichangtian said: "It's harder to catch fish in summer. I've been here twice and never caught a single fish. I thought it would be easier to catch fish today with two skilled brothers. I didn't expect that–"
The two guards looked a little embarrassed. Their martial arts skills were considered top-notch among the Imperial Guards, otherwise,e they would not have been named by the Emperor to protect Bai Zhi. With their skills, they couldn't catch a single fish. They were embarrassed.
Bai Zhi stood in front of the ice cave and looked at it for a while, then smiled and said: "Maybe we can use fishing."
Hu Lichangtian said, "Fishing? How to fish? We don't have any fishing tools now."
Bai Zhi took out a small bag from her bag took out the needle and thread used for surgery from the small bag, and asked the guard to help shape it and tie it up. The fishhook and fishing line were successful. Then she tied the line to the wooden stick used to chisel ice, took some dried meat slices tore them into small pieces, and hooked them on the hook.
"Will this method work?" Xiao Qing thought it was quite interesting and came to see it.
Bai Zhi threw the long line and the hook with the meat hanging on it into the hole, and the wooden shovel was placed across the hole. Before she could say a word to Xiao Qing, the loose line was pulled straight by the fish below.
The guard hurriedly picked up the fishing line. Under the long fishing line, there was a big white fish hooked. The white fish was very fat and long, as long as an adult's arm.
After taking out the fishhook, the white fish soon froze to death.
Bai Zhi asked them to continue fishing, while she took out the dagger and cut the fish before it became stiff.
Hu Lichangtian looked at the fresh big white fish and said: "This fish is good, but we don't have a fire now, how can we eat it?"
Xiao Qing smiled and said: "You don't know this, my young lady has a unique skill, she can peel and bone this fish, and cut it into thin slices of sashimi, which is sweet and delicious. You will know it after you taste it." ŔαNổ₿Εs̩
"Eat it raw?" Hu Lichangtian raised an eyebrow and looked at her. It was really hard to imagine that two delicate girls like this would dare to eat raw fish.
Xiao Qing smiled more mysteriously: "It's useless to say more, you can see for yourself."
Bai Zhi's dagger was also very sharp. It was given to her by Dongfang Mu for self-defense. She usually thought it was too heavy and didn't carry it with her. This time she brought it out because she was going on a long journey.
