I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

Nishi Ichisu came to the river and found the stone fish trap he had made yesterday.

When she got closer, she saw that the trap was packed with fish, far more than she expected!

There were all kinds of fish, big and small, and even one or two fairly large crabs.

"Wow, these fish are really big!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

These fish living in the primeval forest have very low vigilance due to the lack of natural enemies. They easily fall into the trap, spinning around in vain, unable to find a way out.

Seeing this, Nishi Ichisu acted quickly.

She leaned over, picked up the basket lightly, and stepped into the water with steady steps.

With a light splash of water, she moved very swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, she used the basket to quickly scoop up the fish trapped in the trap.

A satisfied smile appeared on Nishi Ichisu's face, and he muttered, "It's so easy!"

Then, he skillfully grabbed a fish and smashed it hard on the rock next to him without hesitation.

"Snapped--"

As expected, the fish fainted instantly.

Well, this trick is a secret I learned from Chinese aunties. It is simple and crude but extremely effective!

Nishi Ichiki stared at the dead fish, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a "nuclear-hearted" smile.

Ever since she came to this strange world, it seems that only the most primitive of her emotions has been reduced to - appetite.

In this primitive environment, survival is the first priority. Filling your stomach is the most important thing. As for whether the means are too cruel, these concerns are not worth mentioning in the face of survival.

Besides, Nishi Ichiki is not a vegetarian.

Fish is so delicious, why can’t we kill it?

(*?▽?*)

Faced with fish that had nowhere to escape, it was effortless and in the blink of an eye, a whole basket was filled.

"Hahahahaha-"

"Catching fish is so easy, so easy!" Her crazy laughter echoed throughout the forest, startling a flock of birds.

Picking up the basket with satisfaction, Nishi Ichiqi walked back to the tribe with a brisk pace.

Along the way, all I could think about was how to cook the fish.

Just thinking about having a delicious meal in the evening makes me happy.

After walking for a while,

When she returned to the tribe, she happened to meet Siduo returning with the gathering team.

When Siduo saw that there was a spiny-mouthed beast in Xiyiqi's basket, her face changed and she hurried to her side.

"Xixi, why are you catching the spiny-mouthed beast? It's poisonous! It can kill people." Siduo said anxiously, as if she was afraid that something bad would happen if she was a second late.

Hmm? Toxic?

Seeing Siduo's anxious expression, Xi Yiqi's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this just an ordinary silver carp?

Is it possible that in this strange world, even fish are poisonous?

Her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.

Unable to bear the thought of watching the fish fly away, Xi Yiqi suppressed his thoughts and asked Siduo carefully, "Siduo, how do you know this fish is poisonous?"

"There was a child in the tribe who ate a spiny-mouthed beast and vomited blood. He died a few days later..." There was a barely perceptible sadness in Siduo's tone.

"Is there a fish bone stuck in your throat?"

Nishi Ichiki suddenly thought of a news story he had seen in modern times. An adult got a fishbone stuck in the upper esophagus while eating fish. The bone pierced the esophagus and the thoracic aorta. He then vomited blood and went into hemorrhagic shock. He died because he delayed and missed timely treatment.

Don’t take minor illnesses lightly!

To be treated in time.

"Fishbone? What's a fish? There is indeed a bone stuck in the neck." Siduo looked at Xi Yiqi in surprise. She was not born at that time, so how did she know that the child was stuck by a bone?

Is it because of the inheritance given to her by Mother Nature?

Yesterday, when Siduo learned that the next witch would be Xi Yiqi, she couldn't believe it.

The sudden arrival of the witch made her feel so unreal. She never expected that Xi Yiqi actually inherited the legacy of Mother Nature.

At this moment, Siduo felt an inexplicable sense of relief and security in her heart.

She took a closer look at Nishi Ichiki in front of her - she saw that the child had a sallow complexion and was very thin, but he had a pair of bright eyes, which really made people feel pity for him.

Siduo secretly made up her mind: "I must raise her to be plump and white, just like Nimei and Wuyu!"

……

Nishi Ichiki scratched his head awkwardly, muttering to himself, "Why is Siduo-ama looking at me in an increasingly weird way?"

Of course, she didn't know that Siduo had already started all kinds of imaginations in her mind at this time.

"That's because a fish bone got stuck in his neck and injured him..." Nishi Ichisu was about to explain but stopped midway.

Uh...how do you explain words like esophagus and artery to primitive people? !

"If it was stabbed somewhere in the body and didn't get timely treatment, it would eventually die from losing too much blood. It has nothing to do with the fish." After thinking it over, she tried to keep her words simple.

When Siduo heard this, the scene of the child desperately scratching his throat suddenly appeared in her mind.

"So that's how it is..." Siduo sighed softly.

She felt that Xi Yiqi had already received the blessing from Mother Nature, so she naturally would not doubt what Xi Yiqi said.

"This spiny-mouthed beast is a 'fish'. It is very delicious and can be eaten in many ways. It can be used to fill the stomach when there is no prey!" Nishi Ichiki added.

As she spoke, she borrowed a sharp stone knife from Siduo.

"I'll make you a few to try."

After saying goodbye to Siduo and his group, Xi Yiqi walked towards the stream with a few fish and a stone knife.

As she walked, she muttered, "I wonder if the primitive people processed it before they ate it?"

By the river, the crystal clear water was sparkling in the sunlight, and the sound of gurgling water reached his ears. The breeze brushed Xi Yiqi's cheek, bringing a hint of coolness.

Immersed in this peaceful natural environment, it was as if I had returned to the time when I was not yet a vicious woman.

It’s so refreshing to breathe the breath of nature!

Holding the borrowed stone knife in his hand, he squatted in a standard Asian position, preparing to process the fish's scales and internal organs.

This stone knife is quite sharp. The thin blade can easily cut open the belly of a fish with just a slight touch.

Xi Yiqi carefully looked at the stone knife in his hand, thinking to himself: It would be great if I had a stone knife of my own.

Now that she is considered the next witch, it shouldn't be difficult for her to get a stone knife.

but……

I want a black dagger like the leader's!

[Look, it’s only daytime and you’re already dreaming.] The system’s voice came faintly from my mind.

Why does this guy speak in such a sarcastic tone!

Nishi Ichisu asked, "Why am I dreaming?"

[It’s made of obsidian, very rare, the entire Yanyuan tribe only has this one, and it was a long time ago...]

The sound stopped here.

Nishi Ichisu frowned and complained, "That's enough, Riddler, get out of Gotham City!"

[Before the Yanyuan tribe declined, they were unable to manufacture this knife. Their chief traded with other tribes for it at a high price.]

The Yanyuan tribe was actually a large tribe in the past, and there were even larger tribes!

So am I a country girl now? When can I go to the city?

[Humph, still a long way off! ]

Nishi Ichisu: Oh, yes, yes!

The system stopped talking, and she didn't care.

She scraped the fish scales skillfully while humming a little tune: I don't care, the system always makes me wipe away tears, and after wiping away the tears, no one comforts me, I tell everyone I meet, yes, yes!

Xiao Xixi, I'm wearing primitive clothes, the system is bullying me, and I feel miserable~

Do you hear my deafening silence?
