Spirit Stone Hunter

When the group left Shilin Mountain City and drove the prototype car to the shore of Shitan Lake, it was already completely dark.

At first, I thought I couldn’t see anything after dark, but I didn’t expect Zhan Jiu to escort them to Shitan Lake after getting off the car. With the bright moonlight tonight, I could still see about two or three meters above the lake in the distance. Meters away, there are layers of gauze clouds.The jungle in the dark night is dangerous and terrifying. Even with the moonlight, when the lake is calm, except for the moon reflected in the water, it is completely dark. The water clouds above form a contrast with the water surface because of the reflection of the moonlight. , it should look a little weird.But when people's sense of security is sufficiently guaranteed, this kind of scene can also be defined as a beautiful scene.

Ma Xiaotian ignored the surrounding environment and opened his eyes wide when he saw the water cloud. "Wow! I caught up with it. It's great! I said it's good to be a spirit stone hunter, and I can see a lot of scenery that I can't see in the city. I want to record it!" He took out his smart brain and started recording .

Mu Yuan was more emotional than Ma Xiaotian.Since she was 15 years old, she and Wu Tao left the mountain city to collect information and materials for Professor Ke and Professor Lu. Although they have been to many places, they have never been in the mood to see the scenery carefully or taste the food.This was the first time he went out with an absolutely relaxed mind, so his eye circles were a little red as he watched.

Wu Tao put his arms around his wife's shoulders and kissed him on the cheek distressedly. "It will be so good in the future."

Mu Yuan nodded: "Yes. This is living and living. Xiaotian, why don't you try to place a fishing cage at night, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, maybe there will be edible aquatic products in the cage."

When Ma Xiaotian heard this, his attention shifted immediately.After all, no matter how optimistic Shuiyun is, it is just a piece of cloud covering the water. For a foodie like him, where is the food important. "Then how do we put it? Do we have something like a fishing cage?"

Ying Feng smiled and said: "Yes. When we were preparing, Mu Yuan suggested that because the mines in the mining area now have deep ponds, we prepared some fishing tools. There are also fishing rods and fishing nets."

Ma Xiaotian immediately looked at Mu Yuan with a look of admiration: "Amazing! Why didn't I think of this at all!"

Mu Yuan smiled and replied: "You are not like us. You have no fixed place all the year round, and you have to go hunting in the wild when you are in the mountain city. These are already habitual thoughts. In our storage bags, these are all necessary. Taste."

Although Mu Yuan was smiling, Ma Xiaotian could tell that his mood was far less comfortable than he wanted to appear.Thinking of the life Mu Yuan and the others had lived in the past, and the words they heard after they really met, he walked over and patted Mu Yuan on the shoulder: "Let's not talk about the past. There will be hundreds of years in the future I can live a good life! Come, you can teach me how to make a fishing cage, I have never done it before."

The structure of the fishing cage is very primitive and simple.The long net bag is divided into several sections by a circle of metal rings. There are metal wires crossing the metal rings, and bait is hung in the middle.One end of the net bag is fastened to a long line and fixed to a solid object on the shore.On the other side, a large opening is made, and the opening gets smaller as you go in.The material of this net bag is slightly elastic. Once fish or shrimps and crabs get in through the big mouth, it is difficult to climb out again.

While learning to hang bait, that is, sliced ​​fresh meat, Ma Xiaotian praised: "This is really good. If there is a catch tomorrow morning, I will make porridge for everyone."

Mu Yuan didn't understand: "Isn't it because of these aquatic products that you can gain something?"

Ma Xiaotian waved his index finger: "I'm talking about fish porridge, crab porridge or shrimp porridge. In short, it's good to eat porridge in the morning."

A few people gathered around and finished five fishing cages, and then Zhan Jiu and his team found a suitable place to put the fishing cages down and tie them to the trees on the bank, and then everyone went back to the simple tents they had built to rest.

Ma Xiaotian made do with Zhan Jiu, although there was only one natural light around, although it wasn't too dark, but in the dark environment all around, the range that could be illuminated was limited. "Ninth brother, look at so many people..."

Zhan Jiu was a little dumbfounded.Although he said that in the afternoon, he won't be so shameless when he really gets to the place.Kui Ren's ears are the most sensitive. Even if he himself is not a big deal, he can't let others hear his own Xiaotian's beautiful voice.So he let go of this matter long ago, he didn't expect this little guy to be more caring than himself. "Then you can't hold back?"

Ma Xiaotian gritted his teeth: "Do you think it's possible?!" With such a huge difference in physique, it's impossible to not make a sound, okay?

Zhan Jiu was amused: "Then you still mention it?"

Seeing Zhan Jiu laugh, Ma Xiaotian immediately knew that he had committed another crime.This kind of "self-inflicted" thing is simply not too much! "You are becoming more and more unscrupulous! You were not like this when I first met you!" Zhan Jiu at that time was simply saying one thing and another.It's only been a year, and the person has changed. He only uses his brains to find "cheaps" for himself, and wants to bite people when he thinks about it!

Zhan Jiu pulled Ma Xiaotian over and dragged him into their own double tent.Holding the daughter-in-law who was still losing her temper with her, she couldn't help but kissed her cheek. "Anyone who meets the person he loves can't help it."

This sentence made Ma Xiaotian feel better for some reason.Of course, "the person I love" is not a particularly rare love talk for the two of them, but whoever is coaxed is unhappy. "Then you have to bear it anyway. I won't mention it in the future. You didn't follow your heart."

Zhan Jiu smiled and whispered: "Okay. When we get to the mining area, our tent should be far away from them."

Ma Xiaotian automatically took a comfortable position in Zhan Jiu's arms: "I don't want to discuss this topic with you. I'll post the clip of Shuiyun I just shot to the Internet for Xiao Cong and senior brothers and sisters to see. You warm the bed first!"

Zhan Jiu rubbed Ma Xiaotian's face: "Okay. Go to sleep after posting. You have to get up early tomorrow. Those fishing pots can't be lifted too late."

Sure enough, the next day, everyone got up before dawn.Ma Xiaotian also went to bed very early yesterday. After waking up, Zhan Jiu didn't let him go out directly, but went to fetch water for him to wash his face, poured mouthwash, packed tooth powder, and waited until Ma Xiaotian completely woke up from the daze state before letting him go. Go out and brush your teeth while watching the fun.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and under the light of natural lights, five fishing cages were pulled up.When Ma Xiaotian came out, he happened to be pulling the fifth one, and it seemed that the weight was not light. "Is there a lot of harvest?!" Spitting out the mouthwash, Ma Xiaotian ran to the fishing cage with a water glass.Looking down at the four that had already been pulled up, there seemed to be a lot of strange-shaped things in the fishing net.But there are quite a few common fish and shrimp, and some crabs, which really makes Ah very happy. "Wow! It's really a big harvest! There is also eyebrow fish! This fish costs more than 50 a catty, and it is a medium-priced fish in the supermarket. It is not small, one, two, three... there are as many as six! This fish stew is the best. Tonight I will cook fish soup for you to make pancakes, you absolutely love it!"

Mu Yuan approached Ma Xiaotian, looked down and said, "There are a little less crabs, there are only six crabs in total, and they are not particularly big. Are you talking about cooking porridge enough?"

Ma Xiaotian nodded: "Of course, crab porridge doesn't need too much crab meat, and these crab shells are also good things. But I have to clean them well." After finishing speaking, he turned his head. "Brother Nine, set up the stove, Xiaofeng! Come and help soak the rice. Angkor, help me pick out the crabs first, I have to wash them quickly, and then use the crab shells to make soup."

In fact, these six crabs are not small in size. The body of each crab is as big as the palm of an adult Quebec spread out, and the two crab claws are as big as two small eggs. It seems that the meat inside must be indispensable.

The cleaned crabs remove the crab claws and the crab meat in the body.Pull out the crab roe and crab paste, remove the crab's stomach, Ma Xiaotian put the crab shells and ginger slices in clear water and start to cook. It didn't take much time for the crab's fragrance to float out of the pot.

Mu Yuan was very curious: "Crab shells can also be cooked?"

At this time, Ying Feng had already put dried barbecue meat and marching rations in the steamer.Paired with crab porridge, these are good choices. "Here at Xiaotian, unless the taste is really bad, he can put it in the pot for a while, even if he can't eat it himself, he will not let it taste good. Otherwise, look at that moment because of the taste It cost 5000 yuan. The result is the leaves of a shrub that grows everywhere in the local wild."

Mu Yuan smiled: "That's true. But it's so good, it's very interesting in life. Besides, it also needs to have that kind of brain. I can't think so much."

At this time, Ma Xiaotian continued: "It's because I was poor before. Before I met brother Ji Jiu, I lived on a little savings and social security from my parents after they became obsessed. Shi. ​​If you don’t have the money to sell delicious food, you have to try everything. It was better when I met Xiaofeng later.”

Ever since he heard in the laboratory that Ma Xiaotian was actually a modified person like them, Mu Yuan became even more curious about this person.Although he was secretly envious of such a miserable life experience, Ma Xiaotian was able to have foster parents who raised him and loved him when he grew up.But listening to him say this now, I still feel sore in my heart.In fact, even Ying Feng, who has always been loved by others, is not the same, it is far from as good as they imagined. "Anyway, let's get better and better, and let those wicked people die without being able to see clearly!"

Cook the porridge with the crab shell and ginger slices. After cooking, put the crab meat and crab roe into it. After stirring evenly, the crab meat and crab roe are already mature. This kind of crab meat porridge is fused with the whole crab. The essence, the taste is naturally beautiful.

Because of the large population, Ma Xiaotian and Ying Feng used the largest and best cauldrons. Even so, there were only two big bowls for each person.Of course, this porridge cannot be the staple food of the Quebec people, but jerky is still the key to filling their stomachs.But the delicious taste of crab porridge, which they have never tasted before, is much stronger than the dry food that fills their stomachs.

By this time, everyone was hungry.Almost everyone wiped out a bowl of porridge first, and then started to really use dry food.

All of a sudden, all the Kui people sat up straight, and all looked in the direction they came from.Even if Ma Xiaotian and Mu Yuan didn't have this kind of instinct, they also knew that something must have come to them.Soon, the two of them also heard the sound of the engine of the vehicle and heard someone approaching, and everyone was obviously relaxed.After all, many people have come here to see the water clouds in recent days.

It's just that the car coming over is a long-distance vehicle with standard full configuration, so it's not just to see the water and clouds.There was no mining area being developed nearby, so Huo Congting and Zhan Jiu frowned when they saw the traveling vehicle.An abandoned mine 100 years ago, will someone go to find the mine at the same time?

At this moment, the traveling vehicle stopped near the crowd.Ma Xiaotian actually knew the first person to leave the two. "Uh...how is it him?"

Zhan Jiu turned his head: "Who?"

Ma Xiaotian replied: "Boss Qiao Lunqiao. The owner of Tianhe Stone. The brother is very familiar with him."
