Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Unlike them, the people who had always relied on the yamen runners to distribute food were now even more panicked.

Because the decision to board the ship was made hastily, they did not store much food.

They also thought that traveling by boat would not require too much physical exertion, so in order to save money, they did not spend any extra silver to buy food.

Based on his previous experience, Lu Hu immediately declared that from now on, he would only provide one meal a day.

Until the ship is no longer entangled.

Upon hearing this, everyone was furious but dared not speak out. Clutching their hungry stomachs, they could only force themselves to sleep.

Try not to expend your physical energy.

Because of the previous journey, most people had become accustomed to hunger.

However, Gu Xingzhi and Mu Shilan were different; they had never been able to stand the food provided by the yamen runners.

They survived on food bought from the ship owner using the money Mu Qiyang had.

But now the ship owner refuses to sell them food, and even the food provided by Land Rover is not enough to fill their stomachs.

Mu Shilan clutched her rumbling stomach and looked at Gu Xingzhi coquettishly, saying, "Aunt, why don't we go ask them again? What if they agree?"

Gu Xingzhi recalled the boat owner's impatience with her earlier, and felt a bit resistant.

She didn't want to lower herself to just fill her stomach anymore, so she comforted Mu Shilan, saying, "Lan'er, listen to me. Everything will be alright once the ship thaws."

Although Gu Xingzhi said this, she had no confidence at all.

The next day, although the wind and snow subsided a bit, the ice still hadn't thawed.

This time, the boat owner only brought three dishes, a bowl of soup, and rice, so everyone had no choice but to eat together.

Song Huai'an and Su's room was located in the very center and was the largest room here.

So everyone had no choice but to eat together in their room.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao, who had a poor appetite while eating, Song Huai'an said after finishing his meal, "We can't just wait here. I'll try to catch a couple of fish to eat later."

Lin Xiaoxiao was unaware that he made this suggestion because of her.

The reason she ate too many snacks before the meal was actually because she ate too many snacks.

Although she wanted to offer them food, the current situation made it difficult to explain the source of the food.

Su said, puzzled, "The weather is so cold now, these fish must have frozen to death!"

And with such thick ice on the river, how can you fish?

Song Huai'an smiled and said, "After the river freezes, the water temperature will actually be much warmer. Besides, how could the fish freeze to death in winter?"

They simply prefer the lower reaches of water where the potential temperature is higher.

Mrs. Su was still a little worried and wanted to offer a few more words of advice.

However, Song Huai'an had already gone out the door and started preparing things.

He first went to the boat owner to borrow some tools, and then took Song Huaiting and Song Wenjing down the river.

When the boat owner heard Song Huai'an say he was going to go fishing in the river, he didn't follow, but out of curiosity, he still gathered around the riverbank to take a look.

The speed at which the news spread was always beyond expectations, and soon there were quite a few people standing on the deck.

Their first reason was curiosity about whether Song Huai'an could actually catch fish.

Secondly, everyone was hungry, and if they could actually catch some fish, they could all follow suit and make something to eat to fill their stomachs.

It took Song Huai'an and his men a lot of effort to open a hole the size of a palm in the river.

After they broke through the ice, they discovered that the frozen river surface was actually a foot thick.

Song Huai'an took the makeshift fishing rod he had just made and began fishing.

The people on deck had quite a few doubts when they saw this.

"Fishing in such cold weather, wouldn't you freeze into a block of ice before you even catch any fish?"

"However, if we can actually catch a fish, the short-term cold is still bearable."

Time passed second by second, but Song Huai'an's fishing rod remained motionless.

A layer of frost had formed on his hair.

I went over and, unable to bear it, took his place.

Inside the room, Mrs. Su looked at what Lin Xiaoxiao was fiddling with and asked in confusion, "Xiaoxiao, what are you making up?"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "This is called a fishing net. I'd like to join in the fun later."

Su glanced at the wind and snow outside and said, "It's freezing cold, you'd better not go out."

Lin Xiaoxiao finished the last step and said, "I'm getting so bored staying in the house all day."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll just wear more clothes."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao took her fishing net and went out happily.

Her hurried and energetic manner left Su Shi, who was behind her, looking utterly helpless.

After quickly tidying up, I followed them.

When Lin Xiaoxiao arrived, many people had already left the deck.

They waited here for half a day in the wind and snow, but Song Huai'an still didn't catch any fish.

Everyone thought it was impossible, so they all went back.

When Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to get down, she couldn't find a place to put her feet.

Holding the fishing website on the board, he shouted loudly at Song Wenjing.

Song Wenjing had just been replaced by his second uncle when he saw that familiar figure on the deck.

With a light leap, he arrived beside Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao was filled with envy as she watched, and secretly vowed to master the lightness skill.

Although his own teleportation was more powerful, he couldn't use it openly.

After Lin Xiaoxiao explained her intentions, Song Wenjing grasped her slender waist and led her to the frozen river.

No matter how the cold wind blew, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't feel cold.

After all, the thermostatic suit she wore underneath was no joke.

Song Huai'an looked at the simple fishing net in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand.

Although it seemed unlikely, considering that I hadn't caught any fish in so long, I decided to let her try.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have any special fishing techniques; she simply planned to secretly put some fish into her spatial storage and then catch them later.

When the time comes, these fish will be out in the open, and I can eat them however I want.

Lin Xiaoxiao pretended to approach the ice hole and carefully probed her fishing net inside.

A short while later, she started to pull it out.

The remaining people stood on the deck, unable to see clearly what was happening below.

All we saw was Lin Xiaoxiao take the fishing net out as soon as she put it in.

In his heart, he simply thought that Lin Xiaoxiao was young and impatient.

To everyone's surprise, the moment Lin Xiaoxiao pulled up the fishing net, gasps of astonishment came from below.

"So many fish? How can there be so many fish?"

"With so many fish, how come we didn't catch any earlier?"

Although no one knew what was happening down below, everyone became excited upon hearing that there were fish down there.

As long as there are fish, it means they have hope of survival.
