Chapter 3 Eating Grilled Fish

After guessing that it was almost cooked, the bird extinguished the flames with its wings, and then gently placed the small fish wrapped in leaves on the dry bark.Carefully unfold the leaves, a burst of refreshing and natural aroma comes out, and the small crystal fish placed inside has been roasted to a crispy crisp.

The little bird pecked off a piece of fish with its sharp beak.A small hole was torn open in the skin of the fish, and steaming hot air gushed out of it, accompanied by a strong sweet aroma of berries.

The well-baked fish is mixed with sweet and sour tree juice, put it in the mouth and chew carefully, and the tender meat will melt in your mouth.The little bird narrowed his eyes slightly, savoring the sweet and greasy smell of fish in his mouth with peace of mind.

Unknowingly, the first bite of fish has been eaten, and after swallowing, there is still a crispy aroma of barbecue between the lips and teeth.Qi Yan picked up the small fish and tore off a small piece of crispy fish meat again.The skin of this small fish is burnt brown, but the fish inside is still white and tender, and it looks very appetizing.

The crispy roasted cooked fish has a strong, fresh and pure flavor, without any condiments except pure natural jam, which is completely the flavor of the natural river.If I had to say it, it was somewhat similar to the Diaoziyu (also known as the squid) he had eaten before, but the meat was more delicate and there were no small thorns, so it was very refreshing to eat.

"Gee... Guji..."

Once you start eating, you can't stop.Qi Yan didn't even know when he finished eating the grilled fish. He only knew that his stomach, after being hungry for two days and two nights, finally had something to satisfy his hunger, and his whole body felt the happiness of eating fresh fish from the river The feeling is full, and the happiness is about to fly to the sky.

For the past two days, he has been floating in the torrent with the big tree trunk in his arms, only the small tree fruit is used to satisfy his hunger, his stomach is half hungry and half full, and his heart is becoming more and more frightened and depressed.Now, after going through a lot of twists and turns, he finally ate the grilled small fish, Qi Yan's body and mind were greatly comforted, and he was so comfortable that he wanted to sing aloud.

"Gu..."

The happy time is always so short.The little bird ate bite by bite, and slowly swallowed the whole grilled fish with jam.To its surprise, the fish bones of this small crystal fish are arranged very regularly, so you don't have to worry about being stabbed if you eat it in your mouth.

Although the small fish is small, the small bird is even smaller, and the portion of this meal is enough.After eating a grilled fish, the little bird burped lightly, sat lazily on the bark, and stroked the round belly with its short wings.

People depend on food, and so do birds.

After eating, Qi Yan became sleepy and his head became a little groggy.He quickly cleaned up the leftovers, flapped his wings twice, carefully stored the unused firewood in the small dry pit of the trunk, and then walked to the middle of the trunk with his short legs. Next to the big tree hole.

There is a big tree hole in the middle of this big tree, and the hole just faces above the water.It was supposed to be a habitat for some kind of creature, but after the trunk was cut down, the owner of the tree hole could not return, and it became an empty nest.The little bird happened to pick up a ready-made bargain, and moved into a cool and spacious tree hole, which can not only shelter from wind and rain, but also avoid natural enemies, as well as store food and dry firewood, just like the "trunk" of this big tree trunk ship. The "cabin" is generally fully functional.

Qi Yan dragged the net made of leaves into the tree hole.He made this net with a lot of effort. It is used to catch fish and shrimp during the day, and at night, the dense leaves on it can keep warm and cover the body.The leaf netting became a leaf sheet, just the right size to wrap around the bird's small body.

The little bird huddled under the thick leaves and lay on its back at the bottom of the tree hole.Its large pale blue eyes looked up at the gray sky.

Today is finally spent in peace and harmony, and full of food and drink.

however--

What about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?

Is he going to survive in this strange world as a bird all his life?

How can I turn back into a human being and survive in this strange world?

Across the tree, Qi Yan could clearly hear the muffled sound of water coming from the bottom of the tree.Hush, huh, huh... the river beat against the thick tree body, and the rippling water waves shook it gently from side to side.

In the constant jolting and swaying, Qi Yan gradually fell asleep listening to nature's relentless "lullaby"...

For several days, Qi Yan relied on tree fruit fishing rods and leaf nets to catch all kinds of small fish and shrimps from the river, and then strung them on small tree branches, spraying flames from his throat slowly. Slow roasted.Then smear the sweet and sour jam as a seasoning, and slowly enjoy the fat and crispy fish.

These days, he spends his time fishing, grilling and eating fish from morning to night.The method of fishing with small branches is indeed idiomatic, but it is not something that can be tried and tested. It must rely on the full cooperation of technology, strength and luck.

Usually, only two or three out of ten fishing attempts will be successful, and sometimes the fish will eat the fruit for nothing if the fishing fails, so Qi Yan will work harder to study fishing techniques.Until later, his success rate of fishing and catching shrimp was getting higher and higher, even if he was not perfect, at least he would not waste a lot of tree fruit bait anymore.

And the aquatic products he caught ranged from unknown small crystal fish to those he knew such as small shrimps and small crucian carp, etc., and they were roasted together, and then spread with jam to make them full.

Qi Yan once thought that he didn't have to worry about "eating". However, after two or three days, he found that his fire-breathing skills seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and his singing voice began to change. The "quack" sound like cotton candy gradually returned to its original "cuckoo" sound.

In other words, the skills and habits he learned from Marshmallow without knowing it are gradually becoming invalid.

Qi Yan has seriously thought about the source of his skills.The only physical contact he had with Marshmallow was when he was irritated by the other party's butt-twisting provocation, and he rushed forward to hug the back of Big Bird's head and pecked a few times.

Could it be that during that contact, I "copied" the opponent's original fire-breathing skills, and even learned the quacking sound of cotton candy?

Thinking about it carefully, this world is very different from the earth that Qi Yan originally grew up on. There are even fire-breathing birds, so birds that can imitate others' fire-breathing may not be a rare thing.If he really possesses this powerful learning ability, then it will definitely be of great help to his survival in a different world.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Today's river is not calm, the wind is very strong, and the sky is very gray.As usual, Qi Yan dipped the fishing rod covered with tree branches into the water, and after a short while, there was a violent shaking from the water.

The little bird dropped the net and held it tightly with its wings.However, in the next second, an unexpected strong pulling force came from below, causing the bird to tremble.

Suddenly, there was a splash of water.The little bird was caught off guard by a strong pull, its soles slipped, and its whole body was pulled into the river...

"Cuckoo, cluck...cough cough cough..."

Caught off guard and being dragged into the water, Qi Yan grabbed the tree trunk in a panic, kicked twice with his thin legs, and finally climbed back to the tree stump before completely sinking into the water.

But his fishing rod wasn't so lucky—there was a crisp "哟哧", the big guy in the water opened his mouth, and gnawed the fruit and most of the branches to pieces.

Qi Yan quickly fled back to the tree trunk, and the water-drenched plush body shrank into a small fur ball, choking out the water tremblingly.The moment he was dragged into the water just now, he saw the appearance of the prey he "caught" up close - it was a very big fish, its body was twice as long as a tree branch, and it was wrapped in With purple scales.And the most peculiar thing is that the fish's head is extremely huge, like a big bump protruding from its forehead.

The big purple fish opened its mouth just now, and the tree fruit fishing rod that Qi Yan worked so hard was scrapped silently.There wasn't even a speck of residue left, it was all eaten by the big fish.But fortunately, his own reaction was quick enough, and he climbed up from the water one second before he was swallowed alive by the bighead fish, and returned to the tree trunk to stay.

However, the crisis does not appear to be over.

"Boom..."

The tree trunk floating on the river was suddenly hit hard.The little bird swayed, and immediately fell to the ground, its soft back hit the bump on the tree trunk, grinning in pain.

"Boom...boom..."

The impact from below was extremely large, and there was not only one source.An ominous premonition welled up in Qi Yan's heart, he stood up hastily, and carefully looked under the water.

purple……

It was all purple... The tree trunk where he was staying was completely surrounded by purple bighead fish.Looking around, the center of the undulating river has already turned a strange purple.

Qi Yan understood that he had met a whole school of fish.

Moreover, those purple big-headed fish were attracted by the large and small fruits on the branches of the big tree, and surrounded them one after another.Huge and heavy fish hit the tree trunk one after another, and one after another purple bighead fish swam between the branches and leaves of the big tree, frantically grabbing the fruits on the branches.

Do not……

Qi Yan watched from a distance, and at the other end of the tree trunk gathered a large number of big purple fish, they scrambled for the fresh fruits on the tree, chomped and ate the flesh, and splashed half a meter high when they collided.

A flash of remorse flashed in his heart: It would be nice if all the fruits were picked and stored in advance!Previously, because he was worried that the fruit would be difficult to preserve for a long time after being picked, and besides the fact that he deliberately used the fruit fragrance to lure the prey, he had never encountered any fish actively looking for the fruit to eat, so he did not harvest the tree. Thoughts on other fruits.

Unexpectedly, the fruit that Qi Yan originally hoped to keep well has now become the food that the big-headed fish wantonly snatch...

"Cuckoo..."

The little bird stood there in frustration.The big-headed fishes in the river swarmed up, knocked the trunk of the big tree tottering in the struggle, and floated totteringly in the heart of the river.

There must be a reason for such a large fish school to gather on the river at the same time.Qi Yan looked at the large piece of purple faintly revealing on the water surface, secretly thinking in his heart, whether the purpose of these big-headed fish gathering is for collective migration or for predation.

In addition, when a large number of similar groups gather together, the team's mobility is indeed enhanced, but the goal is also magnified.I don't know if there is a natural enemy of big-headed fish in this river...

Qi Yan sighed leisurely.The fishing rod was gone. In order to make a living, he had to make another one.

but……

In the middle of the river in the distance, a fish fin erected like a flag is quietly approaching.This scene was keenly captured by Qi Yan, and he couldn't help thinking of the terrifying great white shark he had seen in foreign blockbusters.

The "fin" approached silently without making a sound.And judging from its forward route, its final destination is the end of the tree trunk full of huge fruits - countless chubby purple bighead fish are gathering there, scrambling to snatch the fruit between the branches. The sweet tree fruit didn't notice the inexplicable crisis approaching quietly behind him.

Qi Yan held his breath and watched the river quietly.

"It" acted——

An extremely violent wave suddenly erupted in the school of fish, almost knocking the tree trunk over.Qi Yan clings tightly to the surface of the big tree, and in the moment when the water splashes, he sees the figure of "it".

It was a huge, huge mouth.

The author has something to say: the bird Qi Yan has a body similar to that of a little penguin and can walk upright.A pair of wings are also not used for flying, but can make "fist" or "spread" movements like human palms.
