Fall Of The God - Yang Xiu
004..Pathetic Employer and Stupid Maid—Finding Food
YANG XIU looked at everything that Fei had brought. He began to think, did he really have to eat that thing? He who is the reason is a young Entrepreneur who is content, which every day is always filled with the tradition of Four Healthy Five Perfect, now forced to eat something Ugh! ... it was quite difficult to explain what kind of feeling Yang Xiu was currently in, between misgivings and mystique, realizing that the lives of these two petite girls within this forest were so pitiful to this level of anxiety.
“Guniang, where did you get these things? Geez, it's only fitting that Lan Lingxi die, because of the one they eat every day. Can't they tell the difference between poisonous and non-toxic objects?”
Even Yang Xiu muttered a few words of apology in his heart to Lan Lingxi for being so heartless to insult the fate of the poor girl as an unlucky person. Well, but it can not be denied if the luck is not so good. He even died at such a young age.
Yang Xiu held onto his head which suddenly hurt. Because the food said by the servant girl is some fungus as big as a baby's fist with many red spots. Obviously it's very poisonous, just a glimpse of a child will also know it. It causes stomach pain, hallucinations and even weakens the immune system. And these two girls had even eaten it for a long time.
Yang Xiu did not know whether he should laugh or cry. However, he was quite salute to Lan Lingxi and Fei who were still able to survive for quite a long time, especially to this servant girl in front of him. He did not even look weakened in the slightest even though he had explained that the two of them had always eaten anything they could look like they could eat.
Fei who knew nothing just looked at the master in confusion. “What's up, Your Honor? I got it in the usual spot behind the house. Isn't this your favorite rabbit mushroom?”
“Uhuk, uhuk!” Yang Xiu to the point of choking his own breath heard the girl's words. What say? Fungus rabbits? Can he snub now? But finally Yang Xiu simply said, “Guniang, never look for food again. Never!” He emphasized his words while holding onto Fei's shoulder which was still confused by the super plain look on his face.
Seeing Fei's response made Yang Xiu come to a conclusion, “This girl is stupid!” Well, in retrospect it was true, Fei was not even aware of the change in his attitude. Though he had a considerable difference in temperament with Lan Lingxi.
Thinking of that made Yang Xiu laugh incoherently, he was almost frustrated. If only he had not been trained to control his composure, perhaps Yang Xiu had already decided to hang himself.
He instead thought that Lan Lingxi and Fei were a mix that really gave a headache. A pathetic master with his stupid servant. What a thrill for a really bad life. They deserve to be isolated. Haish.
In his mind, Yang Xiu had fused his two palms together and chanted some do’a spared from the distress. His life is now completely tested.
He finally took another breath. So I decided to go hunting. If he gave Fei the job of foraging, then he would end up a corpse without being able to complete his task. The tiredness and weakness that just left me thinking about it.
Fei initially wanted to come with him, but Yang Xiu forbade. Because the forest is too dangerous for ordinary humans like him. It is better to keep the house alone and boil water. When he comes home, he can take a warm bath.
Because Fei was a submissive girl even though she was stupid, she just obeyed Yang Xiu's orders. Before leaving, Yang Xiu had first made a gigantic protective array around the hut just in case there would be a savage beast coming over without being invited to ask for food.
“This forest is so vast, hopefully I don't meet any adult Demonic Beasts or anything like that! With my current strength, it will be difficult to defeat those who are five hundred years old and above.”
Yang Xiu walked leisurely as he occasionally glanced at the right left hoping to get some Magic Plant as well as Spirit Herb to recover his condition of breaking through the initial tiers.
Ah he hasn't even cleared himself of dirt due to a breakthrough. “Ugh! It really has a disgusting smell. Salute to myself who can hold him and also the servant girl. Ugh, very sticky.”
Yang Xiu finally decided to look for a nearby river or spring to wash his dirty body. Not far from his place, he could hear the splashing sound of water.
“The voice sounded from there!” the thrill was a little enthusiastic, running towards the voice he believed in.
Before long, Yang Xiu found a waterfall with very clear water and a refreshing look. The cliffs are not very high but it looks quite amazing for him who has spent a decade living in the city. This kind of scenery was really Yang Xiu missed.
“Woah! Amazing!”
Immediately he fluttered under the waterfall that fell quite fast. “Haah, fresh ...” His body was soaked thoroughly, he did not even take off his clothes first as most people take a bath.
Khem! But there's no way he could do it, right? Now his soul lives in the body of a woman. Not really used to that. So well, do not look or later he will be a jerk even though the owner of the body is no longer there but he will never take a chance in narrowness. For the sake of a smooth path of cultivation, she could not violate the norms of modesty between genders.
It was not the nature of a dignified and honorable Yang Xiu. But whatever it is, he is a man. The body he was currently in was only temporary. Later if he has successfully completed the first mission, he will return to his original body. That's rule.
“Hmm, can there be fish?” asked Yang Xiu who he knew. He looked back at the water, very clear. And sure enough, the small rivers around the waterfall there are some fish that swim trying to fight the current.
After taking a bath, he wanted to catch some of the fish to take home. River fish is quite refreshing and has a sweet taste. It was enough to make it lunch or maybe night.
“It looks like it's clean.” Yang Xiu left the waterfall and headed to the edge to dry himself. He used Qi, making hot wind to dry himself. It only took a few breaths, his body and clothes had dried.
So the next thing he did was to look for twigs and also rigging to make fish traps and pile stones on the waterway that will be passed by the fish and put a little bait of course do you like fish, especially if not worms and other small insects? He learned that way from the internet. Technology is truly second to none. Oh yes, he added a pure Qi that was highly concentrated on bait to lure the fishes to come.
The trap was successfully made. So Yang Xiu put it in the direction where the water flowed. He used the stone to be a buffer. After that, just wait for the bait to be taken by his quarry. While waiting, Yang Xiu wandered around for a bit to look for some of the spices growing nearby. It wasn't hard to find some so she came back shortly after.
Actually, he could catch the fish using his power to directly make a spiritual net, just throw and the fish will be entangled. Very simple, easy and fast. It was just that according to Yang Xiu, he would not have any pleasure in rushing his food. Using manual means is something exciting and he will feel more appreciative of what he gets later.
“Ah, some caught.” He saw three fish size quite entangled by traps made. He cried out in delight and immediately took the fish and put them on the ground to be immediately cleaned of scales that glistened in the sun but could not be eaten.
Actually many fish were swarming around the trap he had set, only it was too small to hold everything, so the one entangled was only three. Also, as he descends into the water, the fish that swim around instantly drift away very quickly leaving the entangled ones. Well, the beasts in the Artifact world that were filled with thick pure Qi were indeed smarter than the Modern World. It was fine, this was enough and Yang Xiu was not a greedy person either.
He looked satisfied at his first catch, saying, “Science is indeed amazing. Come to think of it, living like this is not bad.”
After tying the fish fish with tendrils, Yang Xiu hurried over. “Alright, let's go somewhere else.”
Yang Xiu again walked up in spirit leaving the waterfall to hunt down some other animals as supplies until tomorrow. But he had previously tied up the fish and spices he had obtained with dried tendrils which he found to make it easier to carry them all. That way, Yang Xiu continued his hunting event until the sky revealed a beautiful orange mixed pink color in the west.
He returned with a carefree face to the reot hut where he first woke up while carrying the hunted animals he had caught. His return was of course welcomed by the foolish servant Lan Lingxi who was fortunately so loyal. The girl nagged worriedly at him which only made Yang Xiu shake his head while chuckling lightly.
“Tonight we will make a grilled fish party. Stop nagging and quickly prepare a bonfire.” He gave an order that would have been directly carried by Fei even with his face still sour from worry.
Author Chana's Note: Actually I don't know how to catch such fish right or not, I've only seen a few tricks similar to those mentioned above. So hoping the reader can put it into practice and we discuss the end result together, is this effective for snaring fish?
