Xia Ruqing instantly leaped up in fright. For a moment, her face turned pale. However, as she clearly saw the clump of dark objects, her face lit up with both shock and joy.
"It's a school of black fish!"
No wonder that spot had felt off.
Without giving it much thought, Xia Ruqing grabbed the fish spear and went for it. In no time, she skewered a fat, large black fish and brought it back.
That fish weighed at least two to three pounds. Flipping and flopping on the fish spear, it even bent the branch that formed its shaft.
"Zi Yue, go find a clean basin!"
Zi Yue was still in shock. Snapped out of it by her mistress's command, she hurriedly acknowledged, "Yes…"
Xia Ruqing took out a dagger and deftly began to scale the fish, slicing it open. In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, a fresh black fish was neatly prepared.
"Mistress, how do you know how to do everything?" Zi Yue was both admiring and curious.
