Their bathtub is still placed on the boulder flat outside. On top of the luggage piled inside is crawling a large red crab. In the tongs is a piece of marshmallow bread left in it from the morning. It has dark sesame seeds eyes. When he saw Chu Ji, he ran out sideways with the bread in his arms.
He pressed its thick shell with his tentacles, rolled it up and put it in front of him.
"King crab." Chu Ji recognized it.
Lin Qiao had never seen a crab like this before, "Is it a new species that appeared after mutation?"
Chu Ji said: "No, this is its original appearance."
This king crab has one pair of chelicerae and three pairs of walking legs. The total length is one meter. It looks very delicious and meaty.
Lin Qiao licked her lips and looked at the pure sea ahead. "This place has not experienced any pollution. We also brought a lot of purifiers and it seems that they are no longer needed."
That night, Chu Ji decomposed the big crab, cut the legs, and put them into the outdoor pot they brought in batches for steaming. The seasonings bought in the supermarket were not complete, so the dipping sauce on the plate was filled with vinegar and Chopped chilies.
The bottom of the outdoor pot was burned with a portable gas tank. The fire volume was small and the cooking time was relatively long. The translucent milky white crab meat turned white little by little under Lin Qiao's eyes, and it sizzled in the vent of the pot lid. Blows out a lot of heat.
She leaned closer to smell it, and felt that the large piece of meat had no special smell.
Chu Ji was afraid that she would burn her nose, so he took out the fishing rod and put it into her hand, "My dear, go catch more seafood and bring it up. You can eat it in different ways."
Lin Qiao has also become very interested in this sea area. She wants to know what real sea shrimps look like and what are the differences in appearance between different types of fish. Maybe if the weather is good tomorrow, she can go swimming. Take a look around.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She even made a mental draft of tomorrow's plan. She opened the bait jar and loaded the fishhook, chose a rock close to the sea to sit on, and swung the fishing rod down.
Fishing in the evening facing the sea and sky, with her partner cooking behind her, Lin Qiao smelled the fragrant air, and felt a sense of happiness rising up.
The whaling crew of Wandering City once communicated with her that it is not easy to catch those polluted fish. They are smart and cunning. If they are not careful, they will tear the fishing net with their sharp tail fins. They will not take the bait easily and are very wary.
But here at Lin Qiao, she didn't realize the difficulty at all. The stupid fish took the bait too frequently, and it was smoother than when she fished on the rocks. They were catching one after another.
She seemed to understand something. She looked down into the water and saw a black shadow flashing past.
The memory that had been cut off in a certain part of his brain was reorganized. Lin Qiao suddenly realized it. He put down his fishing rod and turned around and asked, "Chu Ji, are you the one who keeps putting fish on my hook?"
Fortunately, she thought she was a lucky fisherman, but in fact it was him who was coaxing her to play.
She stood up and walked back, mumbling: "I'm just wondering why they got hooked so easily. If you were there, these fish would have been scared away. How could they come to me and bite the hook?"
Chu Ji was worried that she would be angry, so he quietly climbed into the bathtub with his tentacles and rolled up a can of her favorite candies. When she walked up to him, the candies were also placed between the two of them diligently.
"I want to ensure your safety, and I'm also worried that you will be disappointed." He lowered his head apologetically.
With his status as a monster, there are no living creatures within one kilometer of his surroundings, but this is not his fault, it is simply that those small fish and shrimps are too timid.
Lin Qiao didn't mean to be angry, but she felt a sense of boredom that was suddenly exposed, and her interest in fishing dropped a lot. The most important thing was that she thought she could fish for Chu Ji to eat, but in fact it was Chu Ji who went to hunt for him. Yes, it just had to go through a troublesome process through her hands before eating.
She accepted the fact that she would be trapped by Him forever and just be a little trash. This felt pretty good.
Lin Qiao opened a piece of candy and put it into Chu Ji's lips first. Half of her fingertips rested on Chu Ji's deliberately smoothed teeth. The moist and hot touch rolled over her and she held the candy against her fingers.
"Thank you for taking care of my emotions."
Not only was she not angry, she was even happier.
Chu Ji frowned slightly, reluctantly letting go of her fingers, biting into pieces the candy and swallowing it, "The crab meat is ready to eat."
The seafood that had not been contaminated was plump and meaty. Lin Qiao ate a plate of freshly baked crab legs, which were fragrant and chewy. They were dipped in sour vinegar and chili, and her taste buds were like fireworks.
too delicious!
It’s a taste that’s completely incomparable to contaminated seafood!
Lin Qiao stared at Chu Ji with stars in her eyes and then opened the baked crab shell. The orange-yellow crab paste inside was oily and fragrant.
After Chu Ji fed Lin Qiao and ate the whole king crab, he made sure that she was full and felt her belly. Then he went to the small fish pile and picked out some of the things that could be eaten tomorrow, and ate the rest for dinner.
He needs to control the eating speed of his body. Lin Qiao seems to like the seafood here very much. He cannot eat all the surrounding creatures without restraint like he did before when he lived under the isolated island.
Staying at the beach until the stars came out at night, the sea breeze became piercingly cold on the face, and the black ghost mist that looked like humans began to come out and wander around the temple again. Lin Qiao finally had enough to eat and drink and planned to go back to sleep. .
She and Chu Ji sat in the bathtub. White Fang, the newly acquainted big pet, shrouded their bodies above their heads. The hanging tadpole tail held up the bathtub and floated directly into the depths of the temple.
Lin Qiao said: "Is this far from the desert?"
Chu Ji estimated the distance and said, "It's not far. It only takes two days to go back and forth at my speed."
"Then let's rest here for two days and then set off to desolate. We need to buy seeds, shovels, soil, and cleaning tools. We need to buy a lot of things."
Chu Ji nodded obediently.
There is no fresh water resource in the temple, but the boulders everywhere here can easily store water, as long as it rains once.
After waiting for the rain to stop, Lin Qiao simply wiped her body with fresh water and washed herself a little.
Standing in the hall, Lin Qiao walked to the central spot where he could best observe the stars, and waved to the huge thing on the golden throne, "Move over here, I want to sleep here."
The huge tentacles moved here obediently, and a few smaller tentacles were deliberately placed around them to make it easier for Lin Qiao to step on and climb up.
However, the mattress Lin Qiao brought was not used at this time. It was comfortable enough for her to just lie on it, and it felt like it had the effect of a latex mattress.
After taking the pillow from Chu Ji and laying out the quilt, a small bed placed on the tentacles was born.
