After finishing breakfast, Cheng Tian Ji began to cut down the thin bamboo strips, and then began to weave them into baskets of varying sizes.
Yang Lin could not help but squat at the side, caressing the baskets and asked: "Why are there so many baskets?"
"We'll go catch more fish later." Cheng Tian Ji replied, "I saw you drink too much fish soup, it seems like you really like eating fish."
Yang Lin's face reddened.
He had seen through all of this!
When he was young, his family was poor, so he would only eat fresh fish and prawns during New Year's Eve. Usually, his mother would bring him some food from the cafeteria that was not fresh or leftovers from being eaten by others.
Think about it, how could the food in the cafeteria be good?
Therefore, Yang Lin especially liked to eat seafood.
But seafood is so expensive.
If she could not eat it, she would not eat it. Normally, it was just vegetables and vegetables. If she could save even a single cent, then so be it.
As for the fish in this place, they were caught fresh and were extremely fresh and delicious. Therefore, Yang Lin had drank a few more mouthfuls of fish soup yesterday and this morning.
Who would have thought that this little hobby of hers would be discovered by Cheng Tian Ji in a moment's time.
"Then you don't need to make so many baskets, do you?" Yang Lin said with a red face.
"These baskets are for hanging under the eaves. Wash the fish and let them dry, because we don't have many hooks, so we can dry them this way. However, the wind here is strong, so it's easy to dry out. " Cheng Tian Ji smiled and said, "We don't have enough clothes, and we can't catch fish everyday. Today, we might as well catch enough of them once, and after the fish has dried up, we can slowly eat them. There are not enough ingredients here, so we can only make do with eating. "
Yang Lin couldn't help but look at Cheng Tian Ji with admiration, and said: "Brother Heavencraft, are you always thinking this way?"
"I'm used to it." Cheng Tian Ji replied.
Yang Lin mustered up her courage and said: "Brother Tianji, you have never told me about the past. Can you tell me anything? I'm really curious. "
Cheng Tian Ji finished weaving the last basket and placed it on the ground. He smiled at her and said: "You really want to hear it?"
Yang Lin nodded.
"Alright, then I'll tell you."
Cheng Tian Ji slowly began to explain, "Actually, it's nothing much. When we were young, besides training, we also trained. We trained a lot, including in the wild. I said yesterday that the environment here is very good, and this is not exaggeration. I remember very clearly that once we were collectively thrown into a desert, and each of us only had a fist-sized nest in our hands. There was no water. We will live in the desert until the rescue team arrives. "
"In other words, there are only two ways for us to survive. "First, kill your comrades, rob his food, and second, find a supply point. In a supply point somewhere, there will be a small amount of food and water, and even some weapons, such as blades, bows and arrows, or even bullets, will have to be found by yourself. Of course, you can also ambush others, and when others find him, kill him, and take away everything that belongs to him."
"I went looking for it with a silent companion. In those days, we both took turns to rest and search for food. Because if we both closed our eyes at the same time and went to sleep, we'd be killed by someone else. We carefully hid the food in our hands to prevent others from stealing it. Afterwards, we would not be willing to eat a single bite. Only when we were extremely hungry would we carefully take a bite and swallow it along with saliva. Do you know the kind of fodder? It was very rough, very hard, and very hard to swallow. But at that time, food like that was our only chance to survive. "
"We struggled in the desert for more than a week. We killed a lot of people, stole a lot of their supplies, and were also ambushed and robbed of food that had yet to get warm. We were really very thirsty, we were dizzy, and in the face of death, we drank the blood of the comrade we killed. "
As Cheng Tian Ji said till here, he paused for a moment, and Yang Lin's face indeed became completely pale.
Yang Lin didn't even dare to imagine such a thing.
"By that time, both of us would be so hungry that we would want to eat people. But before we could do anything, I saw the oasis in the distance. At that time, I thought I was seeing things. I called for my companion, and he repeatedly confirmed with me that it was indeed an oasis over there. The two of us rolled and crawled our way through, then lay in the lake for a long time before coming out. It was only on that day that we were really full and came back to life. "
"This kind of training life is our everyday life. After that, I became an official killer and began to carry out all sorts of tasks around the world. There were all sorts of tasks, and the organization would assign different tasks based on each individual's strengths and circumstances. Every killer has five missions each year. As long as you finish them, you can set aside the rest of the time. If you complete a large SSS level mission, you won't need to accept any missions for one year. Of course, when you're in need of money, you can accept as many missions as you want. "
"At that time, my area of expertise was stealing information, so most of my focus was on this type of mission. I obtained a large amount of trade secrets and thus became the target of many people. "Every time I finish a mission, I have to disappear for a period of time, change my appearance, disguise myself and escape the pursuit." Cheng Tian Ji continued, "Of course, the rewards are also generous. "I don't know how much money I have right now, because every city in the world has my secret base, with a portion of the cash and weapons and daily necessities hidden away."
"Then, what about the companion that is fighting in the desert with you?" Yang Lin wanted to change the tense mood.
"Dead." Cheng Tian Ji calmly replied: "In the second year of training, I died under someone else's blade."
Yang Lin immediately stopped talking.
She felt that she shouldn't have asked that question today.
However, Cheng Tian Ji laughed and said while standing, "Let's go and catch some fish. I'll let you see my swimming ability later."
"Did you learn your swimming skills there too?" Yang Lin asked.
"Yes." Cheng Tian Ji did not turn back, and continued to walk forward, "Where did I learn all my life skills? Although I didn't want to return to that place, I had to admit that I could only survive by relying on the skills I had learned there. This is probably the most contradictory part of me. "
Yang Lin's footsteps paused, as she stared at Cheng Tian Ji's back.
She suddenly understood why Cheng Tian Ji did not talk about love.
