After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 329 Going into the water to catch fish, don't even think about getting away with it.

Fortunately, although Que Zhishan was so angry at the accident she had caused in such a short time that his temples were throbbing, he still didn't say anything to kick her out.

They were simply assigned a task temporarily.

Scoop out the fish that are belly up in the pond.

While you're at it, check if his pet turtle is still alive.

Turtles usually lie at the bottom of the water or under rocks. Hopefully, they weren't struck by lightning!
This is easy.

Jiang Hanying breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed.

Que Zhishan turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking, but this time he dared not close the door, as he had to keep an eye on the new girl, Jiang.

This guy is practically a troublemaker!
Jiang Hanying could feel his gaze sweeping over her from time to time. Knowing she was in the wrong, she didn't dare say anything.

Watch it if you want, it won't hurt you.

Seeing Jiang Hanying take off her shoes and socks, roll up her trousers, and nimbly wade into the water to catch fish, Li Chengxiao had no choice but to suppress his doubts for the time being and first reminded her, "Watch your step."

"Mmm," Jiang Hanying responded while casually grabbing a fish, examining it closely, "Is this fish for eating?"

She thought it was just for display.

The sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen paused, and then Que Zhishan's muffled voice came over, "They're raised for food. Following the rule of eating one every three days, they'll last until the New Year."

Jiang Hanying felt embarrassed; she had essentially killed all the fish that people would need for the next few months at once.

"How about we kill them and freeze them?"

"No, it's not fresh."

Okay, I guess I'm still particular about it.

Where should we put the fish?

Li Chengxiao had just found a large basin and placed it by the pool. "Put it in the basin first."

After saying that, he went into the water himself.

Even though there are only thirty-odd fish, they're all electrocuted, so they're easy to catch; they're just a little slippery.

But don't forget you still need to find the turtle.

It took less than ten minutes to catch the fish, and in the end, the basin was filled to the brim.

Finding the turtle is much more troublesome.

There are landscaping features in this pool, and some of the nooks and crannies are not visible to the naked eye; you have to touch them to see them.

The two bent over, staring wide-eyed at the bottom of the pool, occasionally touching the unseen stones underneath.

When Que Zhishan came out of the kitchen after finishing his meal, he saw the two of them intently searching for the turtle.

He fixed his gaze on Li Chengxiao for a moment. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that this person would do this kind of work.

I really wanted to take a picture of it with my phone!

"There were three in total, one big and two small. How many did you two find? Are they still alive?"

Jiang Hanying raised her hand to make a "one" gesture, and without looking up, replied, "Found a small one, still alive."

She guessed that the turtles were lying on the bottom of the pool or on the rocks, which would conduct electricity.

Moreover, when they sense danger, they can shrink into their thick shell.

That's how the turtle survived.

Good news soon followed from Li Chengxiao's side: "The older one has been found, and he's alive."

He thought it was a rock, but then he saw the turtle stick its head out.

"Then the other one should be alright too." Que Zhishan breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't come looking for it. You two tidy up and have lunch first."

The key is that if we don't eat the cooked food soon, it will get cold.

Jiang Hanying had been smelling the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen for a long time. Upon hearing this, she couldn't wait to straighten up, stretch her body, and then quickly went upstairs. Li Chengxiao followed closely behind her.

Que Zhishan glanced at their wet trouser legs and sleeves, as well as the water plants tangled around their feet, pointed to the opposite side of the kitchen, and said to Jiang Hanying, "That's my sister's room. She sometimes comes over for a short stay. Why don't you go to her room and wash up?"

He then said to Li Chengxiao, "Go to my room."

The two brushed the seaweed off their feet, picked up their shoes, and went inside to tidy up.

While they were tidying up, Que Zhishan began to set the table and prepare to lay out the food.

He paused as he tidied up the spot where Jiang Hanying had just sat.

Looking at the charred marks on it, I couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Looking at the fingertips again, there was already a faint layer of black.

You have to know that this table is made of purple sandalwood, which is very hard and dense. How could those two people have left marks on such wood?
When Jiang Hanying and Li Chengxiao returned to their room and finished tidying up, they found Que Zhishan already waiting for them at the table where the food had been laid out.

He quickly hurried over and took a seat.

Noticing Jiang Hanying staring intently at the food on the table, Que Zhishan swallowed back the question he was about to ask. "Let's eat first."

So for the next half hour, Que Zhishan witnessed what it meant to be sucked in by a storm.

He didn't wolf down his food or drink rudely, but the frequency... it felt like he was on two, no, at least three times the speed.

He had only eaten a little over half a bowl of rice, while Jiang Hanying's bowl was already empty.

"In the pot in the kitchen..."

Jiang Hanying picked up her bowl and went to the kitchen to get more rice.

Que Zhishan watched her retreating figure. "There's food."

Jiang Hanying only asked for more rice twice during the meal, and she was still not full, but she felt embarrassed to ask for more.

First, they accidentally killed the fish that the owner was raising. If they then let the owner go hungry, that would be a bit too much.

Que Zhishan was actually not full.

He doesn't usually watch TV or follow entertainment news, so he naturally doesn't know how much Jiang Hanying eats.

Since she was a girl about the same age as his younger sister, he cooked rice for Jiang Hanying according to his sister's appetite, thinking that one bowl of rice would be enough.

The result was... three bowls!
The only solution is for him and Li Chengxiao to each eat one less bowl.

Li Chengxiao could tell at a glance that Jiang Hanying hadn't eaten enough. He realized he'd forgotten to remind Que Zhishan about the girl's appetite, but it was too late to do so now.

After Que Zhishan finished cleaning up the dishes and went back to the kitchen to wash them, he walked over to Jiang Hanying, who was squatting in front of the large basin looking at the fish, and squatted down as well, asking in a low voice, "Aren't you full?"

"Hmm, I'll buy some food when we get out. But what should we do with these fish? It's a shame to just throw them away. Maybe we should kill them all."

"You'll kill? And if you do, what will you do with it?"

"No, but you can search for videos of fish being killed to learn how, then kill one and sell it?"

Li Chengxiao: "...You have quite a few ideas."

Jiang Hanying wanted to find something to do, so she immediately took out her phone and started searching for videos on killing fish, studying with great focus and seriousness.

Li Chengxiao watched quietly for a while, and then suddenly asked as the video was about to end, "What exactly did you just do? And what's this in my hand?"

Jiang Hanying turned off the fish-killing video, closed her eyes, and forced herself to look at Li Chengxiao's outstretched palm in front of her.

There's a slightly whitish mark on the area near the base of the thumb, compared to before.

If you look closely, you can see that the mark is in the shape of a long sword.

Li Chengxiao rubbed the mark with his fingertip, but the white mark didn't change at all.

He had a feeling that the mark would stay forever!

“I’m pretty sure this happened after I handed you my hand.”

It seems that trying to get away with this won't work this time!
