802: Breaking through the ice to catch fish.
Xiao Niannian had already put more than half of the honey into her space. The few pieces of honey in the bag were what she had just taken out.
"I'm collecting honey."
"Honey?"
Shen Yan was overjoyed to hear this.
"Let me see."
Xiao Niannian took out a piece of honey and handed it over.
"It's very sweet, try it."
"Thank you, Sister Xiao."
Shen Yan took it and tasted a bite.
After tasting it, Shen Yan's eyes narrowed. It was too delicious!
It was better than any candy.
"This taste is too good."
Shen Yan looked at Xiao Niannian and said happily.
"Sister Xiao, you're truly my own sister, you're too good to me."
"Go further away, or bees will sting you."
Shen Yan said indifferently.
"It's alright, it's not that easy for me to get stung by bees."
Shen Yan stood nearby, continuing to eat the honey.
Such delicious honey was given to him by his sister, so he had to taste more of it.
Seeing that Shen Yan wouldn't leave, Xiao Niannian stopped persuading him and continued to dig out some more, leaving only a small portion.
"Later, take a few pieces and put them in the cooked pot so everyone can taste them too."
"Sister Xiao, I'll help you look too, maybe there's other honey nearby."
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xiao Niannian looked at her watch.
"Captain Lu told you to come find me?"
Shen Yan nodded, continuing to eat the honey.
"Stop eating, the bees are coming."
Xiao Niannian heard a buzzing sound.
When she had gone to dig out the tree hollow earlier, the bees inside were very quiet. Now that she had finished digging out the honey, some bees were flying around the edge of the tree hollow.
Ah?
Shen Yan heard Xiao Niannian's words and looked at her.
Seeing more than a dozen bees rushing towards Shen Yan, Xiao Niannian loudly warned him.
"Run."
Hearing this, Shen Yan immediately started running, still holding the unfinished piece of honey in his hand.
Xiao Niannian laughed as she watched the bees chase after him.
Shen Yan might not be good at other things, but his running speed was quite fast.
Several bees flew towards her, and with a thought, Xiao Niannian collected them into her space.
She didn't have this species in her space yet.
Well, it wasn't that she didn't have it, it was possible she just hadn't seen it. Collecting them like this would also allow her to collect honey.
However, should she get a queen bee in there?
Or should she put this whole nest in?
Thinking of this, Xiao Niannian looked into the tree hollow again. She put this entire bee nest and the remaining honey into her space.
Why hadn't she thought of this earlier, wasting time here?
Xiao Niannian walked towards the team.
After walking for a while, she saw the Team Members ahead chatting.
"You wouldn't believe it, I was just chased and stung by more than a dozen bees..."
Shen Yan's voice rang out.
"This is honey collected by Captain Xiao, quickly put it in; everyone gets a potful."
Earlier, the Team Members had collected a lot of snow and put it in pots to boil.
There was also a small river here. Although it was frozen, they could get water by breaking the ice.
"Captain Xiao is really too kind."
"Thank you so much, Captain Xiao."
Hearing his teammates praise Sister Xiao, Shen Yan said proudly.
"Captain Xiao is incredibly capable; in such a short time, she can find so much honey..."
He was Sister Xiao's most loyal younger brother; wherever Sister Xiao pointed, he would strike!
Sister Xiao was also the best to him among everyone! Oh, except for Brother Lu! Sister Xiao and Brother Lu were family!
Shen Yan put the honey he brought back into several large pots.
Shen Yan turned around and saw Xiao Niannian standing not far away.
"Captain Xiao, I've already distributed it."
Shen Yan planned to go look again, hoping to find another honey nest.
Xiao Niannian went to the side and rubbed her hands with snow.
She walked towards Lu Jing and the others.
Lu Jing had heard Shen Yan speaking just now and knew that his wife had gone to collect honey, so he didn't say anything more.
Old Shen had also gone to look for medicinal herbs.
Qiao Yan saw Niannian walk back and asked.
"Captain Xiao, what's in your bag?"
"Just dug medicinal herbs."
Hearing Xiao Niannian say it was freshly dug medicinal herbs, Qiao Yan suddenly remembered something. He had heard a rumor.
Xiao Niannian had once received praise from Old Comrade Lei, and Old Comrade Lei even said he wanted to take Xiao Niannian as a disciple. Could it be that Xiao Niannian had already become Old Comrade Lei's disciple?
He looked at Xiao Niannian suspiciously. Xiao Niannian, the Gu Family, and the Lu Family were ostensibly neutral, but they had contact with some other people... Now that Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing were forming a strong alliance, some people from the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade and the Yangcheng Military Region had gone there, but they hadn't achieved the desired effect.
And in these few competitions, they had all lost to the Gu Family and Lu Family factions.
His father could have advanced further last time, but Chief Gu snatched that position.
His uncle's position was also taken by others from the Gu Family and Lu Family faction.
"Captain Xiao has really worked hard..."
Listening to Qiao Yan's sarcastic words.
"Not as hard as you, playing tricks all day long."
What?
Xiao Niannian actually said that to him in front of several people. Qiao Yan's expression instantly became somewhat unsightly.
He wanted to retort, but at a time like this, if he argued, he would lose his composure.
Qiao Yan snorted coldly.
Xiao Niannian walked towards Lu Jing.
"I plan to look for some more medicinal herbs around here."
"Old Shen also went to look for medicinal herbs. Take a few people with you and be careful."
Xiao Niannian nodded.
"I saw a river over there. The river is frozen solid now, so we can catch some fish to eat tonight."
Hearing his wife's words, Lu Jing said with a smile.
"I've already sent people to catch fish."
Shen Yan heard Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian talking and immediately walked over.
"Captain Lu, Captain Xiao, I apply to go fishing."
Xiao Niannian nodded at Shen Yan's words.
"Let's go together."
Shen Yan was overjoyed when Captain Xiao agreed.
Xiao Niannian followed him towards the riverbank.
They saw two small teams of Team Members chiseling ice on the river. The ice on the river was already very thick; people could walk on it completely.
The climate in the mountains was a few degrees colder than in the county town.
"We've already chiseled several large holes and are now using fishing lines with hooks to fish..."
A Team Member saw Captain Xiao approaching and said with a smile.
Xiao Niannian heard their words and looked at the holes they had chiseled.
They were already the size of a washbasin.
"Got one."
Someone pulled up the fishing line, and a fish flopped onto the ice.
Shen Yan was overjoyed when he saw it.
"Captain Xiao, I'll go chisel a hole."
Meng Ning and Lin Shi, along with a few others, also ran over. Gao Yao was from Heilongjiang Province and understood the climate here better than others.
As a child, she often followed her family to chisel ice and catch fish on the ice.
"I'll do it."
Gao Yao picked up the shovel in her hand and began chiseling ice. Seeing Gao Yao's speed, Shen Yan was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Niannian laughed at Gao Yao's speed.
Gao Yao was from Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, and it was said that her hometown was not far from here.
