Chapter 235 Pei Yuan personally catches fish
Pei Yuan appeared very happy.

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. "What do you want to do?"

Pei Yuan glanced at the sky, clutched his stomach, and said, "I'm hungry. Can you catch me a wild pheasant? Oh, or a wild rabbit would be fine too."

"what are you thinking?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Pei Yuan suspiciously and asked, "If we're going to eat this, shouldn't I be the one asking you to catch it for me? You're actually ordering me to catch wild pheasants?"

"Do you want me to go catch wild pheasants?"

"What do you think?"

Su Xiaoxiao questioned this.

"What else can I do? Ask me to go and catch it?"

"Why not? You're a man, right?"

Pei Yuan nodded. "So, I have to go and catch it?"

"That's natural."

"I don't want to go. Didn't I bring some food with me today? Just take it all out."

Su Xiaoxiao then shrugged and said, "I only brought some rice for camping, nothing else. Besides, camping, a campsite has to be a bit wild, right?"

Pei Yuan tilted his head and asked Su Xiaoxiao with a smile, "What do you mean by 'wild'? What does it mean when you say 'wild'?"

"What I mean is, didn't the great heroes of ancient times just catch a wild rabbit or pheasant and eat it? Didn't you know that?"

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I know that."

"Alright, then go ahead and give it a try, especially since you're a general. If you can't catch it, shall we go have some porridge together?"

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she saw that Pei Yuan seemed to have been provoked, "What do you mean I can't do it? I'm a great general, you know?"

Pei Yuan actually fell for the provocation and immediately said that he could go and catch a wild pheasant, or at least a wild rabbit.

"Don't go too far in this desolate wilderness..."

Before Su Xiaoxiao's words could reach Pei Yuan's ears, Pei Yuan had already disappeared.

Su Xiaoxiao's voice echoed back and forth in the valley again and again.

As a result, Su Xiaoxiao waited for half a day, but when Pei Yuan returned, he came back empty-handed, having not even managed to get a single feather from a wild pheasant.

"It's not that I can't catch them, it's because all the animals on this mountain have disappeared today..."

"Yes, it's not our General Pei's fault. It's because all the animals on the mountain are on holiday today. Am I right?"

"This……"

Pei Yuan knew that Su Xiaoxiao was deliberately making fun of him, so he pretended to ignore her.

As I turned around, my body twisted, and my stomach started growling uncontrollably.

"Here you go, would you like a bowl of plain porridge?"

Su Xiaoxiao handed Pei Yuan a bowl of plain porridge, with a plum placed on top, which was quite eye-catching. Actually, Pei Yuan didn't usually like to drink plain porridge, but he was really hungry today.

However, when he thought about how Su Xiaoxiao had laughed at him earlier, he decided that he must show some backbone this time and refuse to drink plain porridge today.

He pushed the bowl of porridge back in front of Su Xiaoxiao, saying, "I won't drink it!"

"You really won't drink it?"

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the porridge to Pei Yuan's lips, only to be met with his ruthless rejection.

"But if you really don't drink it, you won't have any energy when you go to sleep at night, and you'll get cold."

"Don't try to fool me, what does this have to do with physical strength?"

"If you don't drink it, I won't get up to make you anything to eat if you get hungry tonight!"

Pei Yuan thought for a while, then looked at Su Xiaoxiao in front of him and turned to leave.

Where are you going again?

This time, Pei Yuan didn't even turn his head. He ran towards the riverbank with a look of utter defiance. Su Xiaoxiao watched him run towards the riverbank and waited for almost half a day before finally seeing Pei Yuan run back from outside, holding a palm-sized fish in his hand.

What's going on? "You actually went down into the river to catch fish?" Pei Yuan asked him.

"Yes!"

"Aren't you afraid of getting cold in this cold weather?"

Su Xiaoxiao had only washed a bowl with water from the river, and her fingers were so frozen that they couldn't bend back.

But Pei Yuan wasn't afraid of the cold at all. "Hurry up and take the fish!"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly took the fish from her. "Then I'll make you some fish soup. You only caught such a small fish."

"Why are you complaining now? It took me ages to catch it..."

Pei Yuan looked very aggrieved. "No, I mean next time, don't go down into the river in such cold weather, you'll easily get frostbite."

Su Xiaoxiao took the fish, then boiled water in another pot to prepare fish soup for Pei Yuan.

"Don't you like this fish?"

Pei Yuan continued to ask.

"Of course I do."

"Look how frozen your hands and feet are."

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she put Pei Yuan's hands and feet into the hot water and tried to wash them, which would help lower the temperature.

Su Xiaoxiao felt very sorry for Pei Yuan at this moment, and her eyes began to look at him with a hint of sadness.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

The meal wasn't actually that great, mainly because the fish was quite small; it was only good for the taste.

The saying goes that one fish can make a whole pot of soup smell bad; that's the principle it illustrates.

After Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan finished their meal, Su Xiaoxiao specially prepared some hot water for Pei Yuan and insisted that he soak his feet properly, fearing that Pei Yuan might get frostbite.

"You should warm your feet up quickly! Otherwise, you'll easily get chilblains."

"Ok."

"Once you warm your feet, the bed will naturally warm up too."

"I'm not cold."

Pei Yuan remained stubborn. The two of them were huddled in the tent with only one blanket, which was not enough to cover them properly, and sometimes the wind would still blow in from their necks.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that Pei Yuan's body temperature was like a small furnace, and she touched Pei Yuan's forehead with concern.

"Are you alright? You didn't really catch a fever from the cold, did you?"

"fine."

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "That's just how I am, what's wrong with that?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked quite shy, and Pei Yuan didn't care about anything else at this moment. He just said to Su Xiaoxiao in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

As a result, Su Xiaoxiao tried a few times and found that the moonlight shining in from outside made it impossible for her to fall asleep.

"What's wrong? Can't you sleep?"

Pei Yuan continued to ask.

"Hmm, I can't sleep. Is there something wrong with us? Why did we have to come here to suffer like this?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought, wouldn't it be better to stay at home at this time? Wouldn't it be better? So, she started complaining about this camping trip, saying that the weather here was so bad that you couldn't see any stars, there was nothing to do, and everything was barren.

"It seems like all I can do is sleep..."

Pei Yuan said this slowly.

"Indeed, all I can do is sleep..."

"But being able to sleep is already a blessing, what else is there to be picky about?"
