Chapter 40
While Yin Xingyuan was eating fruit, Tian Li returned to the topic.

"Xiao Yuan, did you hear any information last night?" She paused, "For example, our next deduction mission, or the personnel who were wiped out."

She slept to death last night, and there was a high probability that she would have missed some message.

Yin Xingyuan's expression was calm: "No."

He explained: "I fell asleep last night and woke up very late today."

There is no truth or falsehood.

She confirmed again: "Really?"

Yin Xingyuan nodded.

"Ah."

"."

Tian Li was dubious, always feeling that this guy was trying to trick her.

But she couldn't find any evidence for a while, so she could only blame herself secretly and don't sleep to death like this next time.

Currently in a state of no goal.Tian Li finally escaped from the castle. Although she now has no fixed place to live, she finally no longer has to worry and work hard with Sura as a maid every day. Generally speaking, it is a good thing.

In the silence, Yin Xingyuan suddenly asked: "Sister?"

"Ah."

When the young man called her, she thought he had some information in mind and wanted to tell her. As a result, she heard the young man ask her: "Are you hungry?"

It took a while after I woke up, but I still felt hungry, but I could still hold it back.

Tian Li replied: "It's okay."

"I just found a lake in the forest."

Where there is water, there will be life.Following the young man's lead, Tian Li followed him into the forest.

It is daytime now, and the sunlight is faintly seeping into it, making it look particularly quiet and mysterious inside.Rows of tall trees stand tall and straight, and occasionally, the melodious chirping of birds can be heard, clear and long.

The boy didn't walk very fast and walked a long way. Tian Li vaguely felt that they had already reached the middle of the forest. She followed behind, wanting to ask how far they still had to go.

Yin Xingyuan, who had been leading the way in a low voice, spoke first and said, "It's right in front."

She sped up and trotted forward.Pushing aside the layers of hanging vines, the view becomes wider.

There is a huge blue lake on the downward slope, which is like a natural basin carved by nature.If you get closer, you can see the clear bottom of the lake, and there seem to be fish swimming freely in it.

Tian Li walked slowly down the slope. The ground below was a little soft because it was too close to the water. She did not dare to get too close, but just stood and watched from a distance for a while.

When Yin Xingyuan passed by Tian Li, she saw that the boy had obtained a thick and long branch at some point, and looked at him approaching the lake as if he was trying to catch fish.

"Xiaoyuan, the land will become softer closer to the water's edge. Don't get too close, and be careful not to slip under your feet."

Tian Li reminded him from behind and added: "I can't swim."

Not sure what Yin Xingyuan heard, the young man stood by the water, chewed up all the remaining fruit in his hand, then spit the chewed pulp into his hand, and slowly sprinkled it on the water.It seems that the aroma of the fruit attracts many fish and shrimps.Yin Xingyuan waited for a moment. When the time came, he found the right position and stabbed hard with the branch in his hand.

In the ripples of the water, the fish and shrimp disappeared without a trace.

He picked up a branch from the water that had poked into the mud.Only then did Tian Li see that the front end of the stick was smooth and had no sharp toughness to reduce the pressure.

Well, it's weird that this can be poked.

Tian Li wanted to remind him, but then she thought that Yin Xingyuan was already a teenager and must have understood this truth.

There is nothing here that can cut the rough and flat branches into sharp points. It is already very good to find such a branch. She is really very hateful if she points and points without doing any work.

Although I don’t really want to team up with this kid who doesn’t seem to be reliable, but since the other party has been able to do so much from yesterday to now, he must still have some strength.

It was time for her to put aside her contempt and get along with the boy seriously.

Tian Li thought for a while and called him softly: "Xiaoyuan."

The young man stopped what he was doing and looked sideways at her.

Tian Li wanted to walk over, but she was still a little worried that the land near the water would be slippery, so she said in place: "Give me your branch first."

Yin Xingyuan stopped and threw the branch in his hand to her without asking why.

Tian Li took off the white cloth around her neck, took out the dagger from her pocket and tied it to one end of the branch. After doing this, she threw the branch to him.

The young man looked at the dagger at the top. He was silent for a moment, and then continued to focus on the arrival of the fish and shrimp again.

There were still a lot of broken fruits floating on the water surface just now. After a while, many fish and shrimps gathered in the calm water.

There was a sound of water ripples, and this time it was already a hit.

The boy walked back to Tian Li and threw the branch on the ground.

The skewered fish was neither big nor small, but the tail was pierced by Kankan, and the whole fish was still jumping and struggling.

Tian Li knelt down and carefully took out the dagger that had pierced the fish's tail.

This dagger is very precious to her.Somehow, as long as she had a weapon close by, she would always feel at ease.

The fish flopped and struggled, causing a lot of the water on her body to be thrown away.Tian Li endured the discomfort and took off the dagger.

slap-

The fish was thrown hard to the ground from mid-air, and struggled even more happily.

Now there is another question as to who handles the fish.

It stands to reason that if the other party catches the fish, she will handle it, and the division of labor is clear.Tian Li held the dagger and hesitated repeatedly on how to start.

The thought of her having to scrape off the fish's scales, remove its gills, and finally cut open its belly would cause blood to flow all over the floor.
She felt an inexplicable tremor, and the blood dripping between the blades of Sen Bai was stimulating her memory.

She seemed to see that for a while it was Sulla's flesh and blood stuck on it, for a moment it was that of the patrol chief she killed, and for a moment it was that of the guard whose neck she almost scratched.
A feeling of chill came from her heart. Tian Li turned around and put the dagger into Yin Xingyuan's hand, stammering: "I, I, I don't know how to kill fish, and I don't dare to kill fish."
