C13 A Different Ice Fishing.
"Human Emperor, are you feeling better? This is the berry we picked up from the ruins. When you wake up, give it to him." Uncle Di handed over a dozen berries to Chang'e. The other clansmen returned to the cave one after another. Everyone looked at Wu Xiaoming who was lying on the beast skin, their eyes filled with concern and worship.
Wu Xiaoming had already woken up long ago. When Uncle Di spoke, he woke up. He felt his entire body was warm, and all the wounds on his body had healed. He was filled with boundless strength. He knew that his clansmen cared about him, but he really didn't know how to face them. When he heard that the dozen berries were given to him to eat, he almost cried. What a simple and kind clansman. In his previous life, those selfish people who used all kinds of methods to obtain benefits, including his closest wife, were a clear contrast.
"Uncle Di, I'm fine now. Don't worry, everyone. I'm completely fine. Everyone, look." Wu Xiaoming stood up and jumped around to move his body. "Let's split these berries."
"Human, I'll feed you." A plain hand held a berry and brought it to Wu Xiaoming's mouth.
"Eh, it seems like I can't eat it." Wu Xiaoming bit the berry and licked Chang'e's hand from time to time. "He really didn't do it on purpose." Looking at Chang'e who was red in the face, he could only quickly eat the entire berry.
When the clansmen saw Wu Xiaoming finish eating the berry, they all laughed happily. They were happy for their lives, happy for their clan leader, Human Emperor, and for his health.
On the second day, Wu Xiaoming saw that the bamboo house that was halfway built had collapsed, the tiger chicken fence that was flying in the air, and the traps that were flattened in the distance. There were huge footprints that were more than ten meters long and six or seven meters wide on the ground, and the small mountain that was shorter by a lot. He was stunned. What kind of strength was this? What kind of power was this? This was the third time he had seen such power. The first time was when he had experienced the Qiongqi's massacre of the heavens and devouring the earth, the second time was when he had fought against the Water Pattern Flame Wolf Python, and the third time was this time when the Snow Beast attacked. The Snow Beast had given him the greatest shock, and he had almost died, but he had not even seen its face.
The first thing he did was to solve the problem of food. Wu Xiaoming had also considered this problem last night, but he had no idea how to solve it. The first thing he thought of was delicious Bamboo Rat, but ever since the snow had started falling, he had not seen any traces of them. The bamboo leaves and rice that were placed outside had not been touched at all. After that, the tiger chicken became their food. The tiger chicken had also disappeared, either eaten or fled. Now that the snow had covered the ground, from afar, there were no traces of it. As for hunting in the forest, he directly rejected it. The snow was more than a meter deep, and it was difficult for them to move. Once they encountered a fierce beast, they would be sending them food.
"Uncle Di, you will organize ten people to dig out the cave where the food is stored first. The rest of you will build the bamboo house with me." Although the temperature was around sixty to seventy degrees Celsius, the villagers were all enthusiastically doing their own work. They were talking and laughing, and they did not feel the slightest bit of dejection. After all, they were all people who had escaped from death. They had already seen through everything. If they did not have food, they would at most be hungry for a month and a half. In the past, it was like this. Moreover, as long as they built the bamboo house, they would no longer have to suffer the cold.
After working for half a day, they finally cleared out the entire cave, and the bamboo house was also built. The clansmen surrounded the fire pit and roasted their frozen limbs. "Human Emperor, in the afternoon, I will go to the forest with the warriors to see if there are any prey!" Uncle Di said as he filled a piece of bamboo into the fire pit.
"No, the forest is too dangerous now. If I want to think of another way, I can only hibernate." Wu Xiaoming thought about how to solve the problem of food for his clansmen as he replied.
How should they solve the problem of food? In his previous life, it was difficult to defeat a hero with a single coin, but now, it was difficult to feed everyone. The trap was definitely not enough, and there was no beast outside. The most meat he had obtained in his transmigration was fish. "Yes, fish!" Wu Xiaoming shouted.
"Human Emperor, how do we fish? Now, even the water is frozen." Uncle Di looked at Wu Xiaoming with a doubtful expression.
"We can completely fish in the winter. Of course, I'm not sure if we can catch the fish. How about this, everyone pack up your tools and set off later?" Wu Xiaoming said to the people who were looking forward to it.
"Human, how do we fish? We can't see the water." Chang'e kicked the snow under her feet. "Everyone, clean up the snow around us first. Try to make it bigger, okay?" Wu Xiaoming took the lead to clean up the thick snow under his feet. Everyone moved together and quickly cleared out a large area. Looking at the thick layer of ice under his feet, Wu Xiaoming secretly encouraged himself. Success or failure depended on this.
The ice layer was more than two meters thick. Fortunately, the clansmen were all extremely strong, so they quickly dug out a twenty-meter square ice cave. During this time, one of the clansmen almost fell into the water. Fortunately, Uncle Di was quick to catch him up.
"Human, what are you fishing with?" Chang'e held the empty fishing rod and looked at Wu Xiaoming with a puzzled expression.
"Huh, I was just thinking about fishing with ice. I forgot that they are so poor that they don't even have bait." Wu Xiaoming looked at the clansmen around him awkwardly. "Haha, I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten something." He really wanted to crawl into the ice cave. It was too embarrassing.
"Human Emperor, don't blame yourself. Why don't we go into the forest to hunt?" Uncle Di looked at Wu Xiaoming, who wanted to crawl into the crevice, and took the initiative to help him.
"No, we can't go into the forest to hunt. It's too dangerous. I don't want to see any harm to our clansmen. Forget it, everyone will go into the cave. At most, we will slowly wait until spring." Wu Xiaoming said as he led the clansmen back to the cave.
Suddenly, water splashed. A huge dragon-headed fish with a snake tail and a big belly jumped out of the water and directly jumped into the thick ice. It jumped a few times and then froze in the snow not far away.
"Human, look, that's a fish! It actually jumped out of the water!" Chang'e opened her small mouth wide and looked at the frozen dragon-headed fish in disbelief.
Water splashed in the ice cave. There were fish that jumped out of the water one after another. Some fell into the ice layer on the surface of the water and stopped moving. They were like exquisite ice sculptures. Some of them were lucky enough to fall into the water, but they continued to jump out of the water. All the fish were living in harmony with each other. They kept jumping out of the water, like fairies in the water, creating sparkling water.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Wu Xiaoming was dumbfounded. He roughly understood what was going on, but he couldn't explain it to his clansmen. These fish must have been in the frozen water and lacked oxygen, so they gathered together when they saw the surface of the water that was rich in oxygen. In order to obtain more oxygen, they kept jumping out of the water. However, this was completely impossible to explain to his clansmen. If he were to tell the truth, it would be even more troublesome. What was oxygen? It was a type of gas that existed in the air. Without oxygen, all living creatures would basically not be able to survive. However, he couldn't take out oxygen to show to his clansmen. Seriously...
"It must be Human Emperor who touched Mother God Nvwa. Mother God came to help us overcome this crisis." Uncle Di and his clansmen all knelt down on the ground and bowed to the ground in worship.
"Eh, should I kneel or not?" Wu Xiaoming looked at the people who were all kneeling on the ground and thought, "I should kneel! Otherwise, it might be very troublesome."
"That's right, if you encounter something that you can't explain in the future, just push it all to Mother God Nvwa. Mother God Nvwa, if you really exist, please don't be angry. After all, I'm giving you more faith so that you will have a higher status in the human heart." Wu Xiaoming muttered to himself.
In the boundless chaotic wind and fire, an exquisite and huge palace was faintly discernible. In the palace, a beautiful woman was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a heartbeat startled her awake. "What's going on? Why do I have a heartbeat? Last time, I was the one who nearly wiped out the human race. There were less than twenty million people left from the ten billion people. If it wasn't for me transmitting my voice to all the powerful Vicious Beasts in the Primordial Era, and for them to not exterminate the human race, the human race would have been extinct a long time ago. Could it be that the human race is going to be exterminated again? It was done by that race. Even the most powerful Dragon Clan, Wind Clan, and Qilin Clan would give me face." The beautiful woman frowned and began to count with her fingers, but she didn't manage to count anything. "Could it be that someone is hiding the secrets of the heavens?"
"Tong'er, go to the Primal Continent and help if the humans are in trouble. This is a Sound Transmission Jade Talisman. If you can't solve the problem, send me a sound transmission." The beautiful woman instructed the Taoist child who had been electrocuted.
"Yes, I will!" The Taoist child took the Jade Talisman and rushed out of the palace like a ray of light towards the vast Primal Continent.
Wu Xiaoming did not know anything about what happened in the Primal Chaos. He thought that he had transmigrated into the ancient era! As for the Nvwa and the other so-called Gods, they were all nonexistent.
After the clansmen bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, they stood up and looked at the fish sculptures excitedly. After waiting for about an hour, the fish no longer leaped out of the water, and the water surface gradually calmed down. "It seems like all the fish in the surrounding area have arrived. I'm afraid that the fish in the distance won't be able to sense the sufficient oxygen in this place. We'll have to go far away to harvest them." Wu Xiaoming thought happily. In just an hour, he had actually caught a hundred and thirty to forty fish. "Haha, a great harvest! These fish are enough for the clansmen to eat for a long time."
"Human, Mother God Nvwa is really great!" Chang'e's eyes were filled with worship.
"Bullshit, Mother God Nvwa! We almost died yesterday, and we didn't see her come to save us." Wu Xiaoming secretly criticized Mother God Nvwa, but he said, "That's right! We have to thank Mother God Nvwa. Without her, we might have died!"
"Alright, everyone, hurry up and transport the fish back. After all, it's too cold here. After transporting it back, we'll roast the fish and drink the fish soup. Everyone, hurry up and know?" Wu Xiaoming was so cold that he was trembling. As he spoke, he placed his hand to his mouth and breathed.
“Oh! Woah!” The villagers cheered and started to move. After all, no one wanted to stay in this snowy place. It was too cold. They went back to the cave and started to eat warm fish and drink fish soup.
