Su Mao walked along the stream towards the main vein. After about half an hour, Su Mao arrived at the main vein of a stream.
This was a river that was over a hundred meters wide. The river water was gentle and endless. It was rare to see a river like this in the forest.
When winter arrived, the river water would freeze by dozens of centimeters. Other than humans, no animal could break through the ice to catch fish underwater.
There was winter fishing every year in the northeastern province, which was rich in cold-water fish such as salmon, river fish, and sturgeon.
In his previous life, Su Mao had once watched a documentary about how the fishermen of the Northeast Province would dig a huge ice cave with a diameter of one meter in the river every winter.
Then, he set up a fishing net beside the ice cave and caught all the fish that passed by.
This primitive method of fishing had a history of hundreds of years, and every time they caught fish, they could harvest more than a thousand kilograms of river fish.
At that time, Su Mao was very envious. Those river fish were different from ordinary freshwater fish. Their meat was fresh and delicious.
But now, without the help of human tools, it was no different from a fool's dream to break through dozens of centimeters of ice with just his bear claws.
Moreover, even if he really broke through the ice, Su Mao would not be able to fish.
Brown bears could swim, but diving and fishing in winter was what polar bears did. Brown bears could not dive in winter, and the cold river water would kill them.
Su Mao walked on the thick ice surface, his soles emitting waves of cold air.
"Swoosh ~"
A loud sneeze echoed across the ice.
On the empty river surface, only Su Mao, the brown bear, was walking alone. He looked like he was walking alone in the vast world.
Su Mao didn't care if he was bold or not. He only hoped that he would be lucky enough to find the river fish frozen in the river.
However, it was extremely difficult to find a frozen fish in the vast river.
Su Mao walked until the sky cleared up, but he still did not find a frozen fish.
Although he understood that this was normal, Su Mao still couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He decided to search along the river for a while. If there was still nothing, he could only go hunting.
The winter sun seemed to only be used for illumination and could not warm the body at all. Moreover, the sunlight shone on the ice surface, causing Su Mao's vision to be affected by the reflected light and become blurry.
Just as Su Mao was about to give up, half of a fish's body suddenly appeared on the ice.
Su Mao excitedly ran over. The nearly half-meter-long fish was frozen in the river water in an upright position. It looked like a flag standing on the ice.
"Little thing, the way you died is quite unique.”
Su Mao teased.
Any river fish that was frozen on the surface of the river would have died before it was frozen, and many of them died of illness.
Humans would not eat this kind of food even if they found it.
But this didn't matter to the brown bears. They were famous scavengers. As long as it was food, they would eat it even if it was rotten and had maggots.
Su Mao knew this very well. During the summer, Mother Bear ate a lot of dead animals.
Every time, Mother Bear would generously share it with Su Mao. Of course, Su Mao would definitely not eat it.
After a few times, Mother Bear realized that Su Mao never ate carrion. There were a few times when he even wanted to correct Su Mao's wrong behavior.
However, she did not have any means to counter her eldest son, who was rebellious. As time passed, she allowed Su Mao to develop freely.
The frozen river fish on the river surface were exposed from the waist to the tail, and the rest were all frozen in the ice.
He used his sharp claws to knock on the river fish. It was as hard as a rock.
Then, Su Mao raised his bear paw and slapped it at Jiang Yu.
"Kacha ~"
Two-thirds of the fish that was above the water surface was broken by Su Mao's palm. Due to the excessive force, the broken tail was sent flying for more than ten meters. After falling onto the ice surface, it continued to slide for more than ten meters.
Su Mao looked at the broken tail of the river fish dozens of meters away, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He had used too much strength.
He jogged over and picked up half of the fish's tail. The fish was frozen like a rock, and even Su Mao could not bite it.
So hard!
Since he couldn't chew it, Su Mao swallowed the fish's severed tail.
As it entered his stomach through his esophagus, Su Mao felt a chill from his body.
This taste was much more exciting than eating ice cream in the middle of winter. Su Mao couldn't help but shiver.
Shaking his body, Su Mao felt as if his hunger had been frozen.
Even so, Su Mao still decided to turn back and eat the remaining part of the fish that was exposed on the surface of the river.
There was a shortage of food in winter, so he couldn't waste it.
The remaining one-third was close to the belly of the river fish, which was the fattest and thickest.
The bear claws had lost their effect at this moment. He could only use his teeth to bite off the remaining parts.
He bent down and tilted his head.
The bear's face was completely stuck to the ice. As he was afraid that his tongue would be frozen on the ice, Su Mao subconsciously moved his tongue away from the ice.
This way, Su Mao's posture looked a little funny.
The brown bear's bite force was astonishing, but it was unable to bite off the remaining part in one go.
Su Mao spent a lot of effort to leave a row of teeth marks on the fish.
With the teeth marks, things were much simpler. Su Mao exerted force along the teeth marks. Finally, he bit off the remaining part.
Swallowing the river fish in one gulp, Su Mao couldn't help but sigh in his heart,"
"Nowadays, even eating a fish is so tiring…"
