Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket! - Chapter 81

81 Put Me Down

The ice surface was at least ten centimeters thick, and the thickest could reach more than half a meter.

It was not a problem for children to walk and jump on it.

Chu Tianbao looked at the ice surface. Lin Yue and the others immediately followed Bai Wutong’s instructions and asked everyone to step back to prevent the ice bits from cracking and injuring anyone.

Chu Tianbao could already control his internal energy skillfully.

!!
He held out his hand and everyone craned forward to see.

Suddenly, an invisible force surged out from Chu Tianbao’s palm like an army of thousands of troops. Immediately after, everyone heard a series of deafening sounds accompanied by the ice that had popped up like a volcano eruption.

“Swish—” The water rolled and splashed everywhere.

The ice that even explosives had to expend a lot of effort to blow up was shattered by Chu Tianbao’s internal force. Before anyone could react, it shattered into tiny ice shards and quickly melted into the lake.

When Bai Wutong saw Chu Tianbao’s move, she suddenly thought that Chu Tianbao had the potential to be an ice shaver machine.

Everyone looked surprised as they waited for a large number of dead fish to appear on the lake like last time.

However, the lake was too big. Although Chu Tianbao had exploded the ice surface of the lake, there were not as many fish floating to the surface as they had imagined.

Everyone inevitably looked disappointed.

Bai Wutong frowned and said to the others, “The water here is too deep. Even Tianbao can’t kill that many fishes with his internal energy. Everyone, remove the rope and tie it into a fishing net. There will definitely be more fishes caught with the fishing net. Other than the fishing net, the others can also use fishing rods to catch fish into a basket. Try to catch as many as possible. We’ll bring them along on the way.”

Everyone was only disappointed for a moment. When they heard Bai Wutong’s instructions, they immediately got busy.

The 30 families of Qinghe also followed Village Chief Zhao and the others to transform the limited things in their hands into tools to catch fish.

Soon, after everyone scooped up the fish that Chu Tianbao had killed, they began the second wave of fishing.

Everyone was nervous when the net went down.

If there were not enough fish in this lake for everyone to eat, not only would they have wasted their time, they would also have to starve again.

There were modern fishing rods in Bai Wutong’s space. She only took out a sharp fishing hook and hung it on the fishing line. She took Chu Tianbao to the lake and asked him to chisel an ice hole. She placed a small bench and prepared to fish.

As soon as the hook landed, the person who had cast the fishing net cheered excitedly. “There’s fish, there are so many fishes!”

As soon as he said that, everyone stopped what they were doing and craned their necks to look into the fishing net in the lake again.

The temporary fishing net they had made had very big holes, so it could only catch big fish but not small ones. The unknown weight of fishes tugged at everyone’s hearts.

Everyone waited eagerly. As the fishing net was pulled up, many big fishes jumped up in an endless stream, trying to find a chance to escape.

Those who knew martial arts stood where they were and waited for a chance. When a big fish jumped up, they would quickly catch it. Before the fishing net was completely put away, they had already caught a few baskets of fish.

The fishing net was completely kept away. It was filled with big fish, making everyone excited.

The children were overjoyed and kept shouting, “Big fish! Big fish!” The adults could not help but start welling up in tears of joy.

A few more nets and the food for their journey would be enough.

Bai Wutong had seen on television what it was like for fishermen to cast their nets and catch fish after the fishing ban period. It was a different feeling to see so many fishes from the frozen lake with her own eyes.

In huge surprise, everyone called Bai Wutong over to look at the fishes. At this moment, the fishing line in Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao’s hands trembled violently. Bai Wutong hurriedly said to Chu Tianbao, “Tianbao, quickly pull, there’s a fish!”

Chu Tianbao’s eyes widened. In surprise, he and Bai Wutong pulled up the fishing line at the same time. Immediately, two red carps appeared in their vision.

Chu Tianbao threw the fish to the ground, carried Bai Wutong and spun around excitedly. He said excitedly, “Wife, wife, we caught a big fish!”

The feeling of catching a fish was too good. The experience of a strong resistance was simply irresistible.

Bai Wutong was also quite happy. After chatting happily with Chu Tianbao, she realized that countless pairs of bright eyes of various sizes had gathered around them.

“…”

The adults did not dare to look openly and secretly glanced at them. Their faces were filled with ambiguous glances.

Realizing that they had been caught by Bai Wutong, they turned away again.

The children did not have so many “concerns”. They looked at the fishes and then at them, laughing happily.

Chu Tianbao didn’t feel that anything was wrong. Just as he was about to rub his face against Bai Wutong, Bai Wutong angrily pried his head open and ordered him sternly, “Put me down!”

Thinking that fishing was fun, Chu Tianbao put down Bai Wutong with a whoosh. In a flash, he pulled out the bait that had yet to be eaten and threw it into the water to wait for any gluttony fish to take the bait.

Bai Wutong was caught off guard and was put down by him. It was as if her heart had been thrown to the ground. She stared at Chu Tianbao’s back as he fished seriously. She suddenly wondered if he would put her down so easily once Gu Zhongxun’s master had cured Chu Tianbao.

As soon as Chu Tianbao threw the bait, he turned around and looked at Bai Wutong with a bright smile. “Wife, come and fish!”

Bai Wutong came back to her senses and forced a smile. Why was she thinking so much? If Chu Tianbao was willing to leave, so be it. He was just someone she picked up from the beginning, so it was not like her to feel so attached.

Bai Wutong perked up and began to compete with Chu Tianbao to see who could catch more fish.

In a short while, the basket behind them was filled with fish.

When the children saw that they had caught so many big carps one after another, they hurriedly went to ask their adults for fishing hooks and fishing lines.

When night fell, the shore of the lake was filled with sounds of happiness.

Everyone used the fishing nets to catch fish one after another. There were more than 500 kilograms of fish in the nets. Although there was no salt left and they could not marinate all the fish, the territory of Fengming City was now like a natural freezer. They did not have to worry about storing the fishes.

They had enough food for the remaining journey and everyone even had enough fish to eat that day. Hence, all of them could not help but be happy.

However, there was another problem. There were too many fishes and there was no carriage to carry them. How could they transport the fishes?

While everyone was busy cooking, Village Chief Zhao saw a few big trees at the side and planned to bring some people to cut down some wood to make poles and skewer the fish.

Chu Tianbao had not eaten fresh fish for a long time and was roasting two skewers of fish happily.

Village Chief Zhao led the villagers to get busy. Bai Wutong carried Stinky and went to watch the commotion. “What are you guys doing?”

Village Chief Zhao looked up and said with a smile, “Make some carrying poles to carry the fish away and make a wooden horse for Young Master to play with.”
