The three of them reached the riverbank. Once again, Yuan Si went into the water alone. She had already prepared her tools on the way. Staring intently at the fish, she waited for one to swim in front of her before striking with a quick, precise, and ruthless thrust.
Then, with a slight flick of the branch she was using, she tossed the fish speared on her dagger onto the bank.
Xiao Chang and Xiao Ma were waiting on the bank. When they saw the fish flopping on the ground, they pinned it down, gutted it, washed it clean, and tossed it into a small basket. In no time, Yuan Si had speared a dozen or so fish, and deciding that was enough, she called it a day.
For their first meal in the forest, Team 541 had fish stew cooked in an iron pot.
