"Oh, what a big fish!" Xie Yuxin screamed. With the help of Wang Ye, they finally pulled the fish up.

The two did not dare to move forward: "This fish is so scary, with a mouth full of fangs."

Daya said, "This fish is very vicious, it's known as the wolf of the water." She hit it to death with a stick, removed the hook, cleaned it up, and would use it to cook later.

Liu Xia Lian came over and took a look: "Okay, the chickens are ready, and the fish is also caught. Let's go back and cook. It will be dark soon."

Xie Yuxin was addicted to fishing: "Let's fish for a while, just a little while, and then we'll go back."

After all, they are reporters from the city, and safety is the top priority.

"Daya, take the chicken and fish to my mother. She will cook tonight."

"Okay, sister." Daya carried the basket and went home.

Liu Xia Lian accompanied the two men fishing. But there is a protection period for novices, and after a while, the fish pulled even harder.

The fishing rod fell to the ground, but fortunately Liu Xia Lian was quick to pick it up.

Xie Yuxin asked nervously: "What did I catch, a crocodile? It's so powerful."

"No, don't worry. Just step aside, it will come out soon." Seeing the two men move away, Liu Xia Lian immediately bent her waist and swung the rod, and a large snapper weighing seven or eight kilograms came up. They are all carnivorous fish, and because the small fish have been almost eaten in winter, they are very hungry and easy to be caught.

Aohua was still restless after coming ashore and kept tumbling.

"Okay, Yuxin is really talented in fishing. This big ao hua is really rare. I will steam it for you at noon tomorrow. Steamed ao hua is delicious."

Xie Yuxin said: "Sister, we plan to go back early tomorrow morning. We still have things to do at the station, so we can't stay for long."

"So urgent."

"Well, I'll talk to my mom when I get home. If she agrees to sell the vegetables, I'll call you and you can arrange the delivery then."

"Okay then, now that I've made the decision, I won't keep you any longer."

For dinner, Liu Xialian's mother prepared two main dishes, one was chicken stewed with mushrooms, and the other was dogfish stewed with vermicelli, with corn pancakes on the side.

Erya scratched her head: "Don't we always eat at the old house? Why did we change the place today?"

Sister Guilan said, "You don't understand this, because we have guests. These two guests are from the city. There are too many animals in the old house, and it smells bad. The environment at home is better."

"Oh, I see. Those two girls are so weak. It gives me goose bumps just looking at them."

"Then you can stay here and eat. I'll make corn porridge and tofu stewed with cabbage tonight."

"No, I want to follow my sister's pace."

Erya ran to eat.

Guilan shook her head: "Everyone says you are stupid, but you are really not stupid. You know where the delicious food is."

Li Xiaofei finished cleaning the roe deer pen and came over after washing his hands.

"We eat well enough here. It's only a few months' salary. I have to take a detour when I see tofu sellers, for fear of drooling. How come Sister Xia Lian is so capable? She knows everything. Others would lose their lives if they go hiking in the mountains, but they go hiking to make money."

"This is called luck. Xia Lian has a good heart and a good life. I decided to work hard with her."

The old house's farm couldn't last much longer. It had a total of three mu of land, raising pigs, donkeys, horses, and roe deer. Once the black pigs gave birth, each one would have at least six piglets, and fifteen sows would have ninety piglets, which would require a large area for activities.

At home, mother warmly entertained Xie Yuxin and Wang Ye.

"Back then, when I was young, I had a good voice and good looks, so I was chosen as the town's announcer and worked there for several months."

"Yeah, then why didn't you continue doing it?" Xie Yuxin asked.

"As for me, I met a soldier who came here to fight the floods and provide disaster relief, Xia Lian's father. We fell in love at first sight. Later we got married. Her father retired from Longjiang Province and never went back. He settled here."

While others were chatting, Daya and Erya were concentrating on eating, enjoying their meal very much.

Wang Ye noticed that something was wrong and reminded Xie Yuxin: "This chicken stewed with mushrooms is delicious. Eat it first and stop chatting."

"Okay, let's eat, let's eat."

Cooking in the village is different from cooking in restaurants. Apart from salt and soy sauce, no other seasonings are added. The food is purely natural and tastes delicious.

After dinner, Xie Yuxin said, "I heard that night is the best time to shoot rabbits and pheasants. There's nothing to do in this long night. Let's go hunting, shall we?"

Liu Xia Lian was surprised and said, "You are a delicate female reporter, why are you thinking about such dangerous things? Black bears come out of their dens this season and are looking for food everywhere. There are lost livestock around the village, which is the black bears' favorite place to come. It's too dangerous. No, no."

"That can't be possible. Black bears are not pheasants or rabbits. They are everywhere. Let's just walk around the edge of the village."

Liu Xia Lian was worried that the two men might sneak away, which would be even more dangerous, so she had to agree.

"Okay, are Daya and Erya still there?"

"Yes, the crossbow and the steel mace are all there."

Liu Xia Lian carried the 98k and also brought Da Huang.

The group of five didn't walk far, and came to the fields east of the village with flashlights.

After a winter of hunting, the number of pheasants and hares has been greatly reduced, but there are still some. I shone a flashlight around and soon found a rabbit looking for food in the dry grass. I was at a loss when I shone the flashlight on it.

Dahuang rushed forward like a gust of wind. Although Dahuang was not a specialized beagle, rabbits moved slowly on the snow and were easily caught.

Dahuang grabbed the rabbit just like the one selling pancakes, he was very good at it, pinching the rabbit's neck but not using much force, and the rabbit was still alive and kicking when he brought it back.

"Wow, that's amazing! Da Huang is so fierce, he caught it right away."

Liu Xia Lian took the rabbit and put it directly into the bag. Normally, she would hit it to death with a stick, but since there were outsiders around, it was better not to kill it in front of them.

After walking a few hundred meters, Da Huang suddenly roared and pounced forward quickly.

Liu Xia Lian shone the flashlight and found that there really was a bear. The black bear was not big, about three or four hundred pounds. When it saw the flashlight, it stood up and waved towards her.

The bear waved to trick people into coming over for food, what a pity for the hunting dogs here.

Dahuang soon reached the black bear and kept harassing it.

Killing bears to extract their bile is a very bloody business, and it would be bad if these two big mouths reported it out.

Immediately arranged: "Daya, drive it away and stop beating it."

"Okay." Daya rushed forward with the iron mace in hand. Black Bear wanted to fight back, but Daya kicked him in the chest and he fell to the ground.

The black bear got up and ran towards me, cursing and calling, as if he was looking for his mother.

Liu Xialian said: "See? This is no joke. It's very dangerous."

"What's so dangerous about this? This black bear is just like that. I can just kick it over." Xie Yuxin treated Daya as an ordinary person.
