Although it would be better to make an overnight nest in advance, there is not much time right now, so they plan to make a nest now and fish again later.
The two of them packed up the prepared bait and nest materials in the canned box that Zhang Haixing smashed.
The fat man went down to the platform directly below the Lama Temple to make preparations for fishing, while Wu Xie continued to get the remaining tools.
Fatty was quite experienced in winter fishing. He quickly found a place to make a nest. He grabbed four or five handfuls of nest materials and spread them out about two meters away. He made two nests and left half a box to wait for the fish later.
Repair the nest when the mouth slows down.
Wu Xie returned to the second floor and took some things from his backpack, then returned to the first floor and sat cross-legged on the floor, ready to fight.
He first cut a long fluorescent stick in half with a knife, poured out the glowing chemical substance inside, and emptied it into an empty plastic tube. The fluorescent substance was stored in a can next to it, so that it could be used later.
A total of three empty tubes were obtained in this way.
Then he cut off the longest middle finger of the rubber glove, blew air into it like a balloon, and then wrapped the tear at one end with waterproof tape to make it airtight, sealing the air inside to create a temporary floating belly.
.
Then I cut the remaining glove material into a wide strip, wrapped it around half of the tube, and attached a thin fluorescent label to the round head.
Finally, you only need to tighten the two ends of the floating belly, insert the two halves of the empty tube openings of the fluorescent stick, and wrap the interface tightly with waterproof tape. The three parts of materials are spliced together in this way to make the simplest and most practical
Fish float.
The fat man came back after peeing with his sleeves cuffed. Seeing that he had prepared these, he was a little surprised and said "Hey", "Should I say it, you are so smart and have the demeanor of Fatty and me back then. I
When I was a kid, we used reeds to make floats for fishing, but we don’t have any here. I just thought about whittling some old wood to make them, and you’re ready now.”
Wu Xie snorted, looking a little proud.
Generally, you have to wait more than an hour or two hours to finish fishing in winter. Since the temperature here is too low, the two of them decided to wait until five or six o'clock in the afternoon to go fishing.
We went back to the upper floor and made some self-heating rice. After the meal, we continued to lie down in our sleeping bags and rest.
The cold wind outside kept blowing through the window lattice, and the old wooden boards that were not very stable after being pried open were creaked by the wind. The sound was uneven, louder and quieter, but it did not affect the sleep of the people in the house.
When I woke up from a deep sleep, it was almost time.
Zhang Haixing and Feng compared the star charts and maps to study the direction and route they would take next. As time passed by, they no longer had any hope that Bai Ci would come back before tomorrow morning.
The two fat and evil people didn't care so much. They rubbed their hands and wrapped themselves in thick blankets, planning to go out to catch delicious food.
There were no earthworms or insects to use as bait in this frozen soil, so Wu Xie dug rice grains from the bottom of the bowl left over from lunch, mixed them with fragrant rice wine and kneaded them into pieces as big as the tip of a thumb.
Dumplings.
The fat man roasted it on the fire and bent two surgical needles into fishhooks. He came over to take a look, picked up the rice box, and poured a little vegetable soup left in the box on the small rice balls.
"It's both delicious and delicious, and the fat man smells delicious. He's not afraid of fish not taking the bait." The fat man said seriously.
With all preparations in place, the two took their backpacks and stuffed their sleeping bags inside to make them into mats. Then they came to the platform and sat down, prepared the fishing rods and lines, and set the hooks to start fishing.
The last remaining finger parts of the gloves were not wasted. The two put the fluorescent liquid poured out of the tube into it, tied it with a knot, and hung it on the hook with a string, imitating the function of a luminous fishhook.
, and go into the water together with the bait.
As evening approached, the weather was not as cold as usual. The two of them were still shivering with hot water bottles in their arms. To avoid frightening the fish, they found something to fix the fishing rods and just stared at the floats floating on the water.
son.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and luck, but within half an hour the fat man had a fish in his hand that bit the hook. When he saw the fish bobber jerking downward, the bobber was almost pulled completely into the water, so the fat man immediately grabbed the fishing rod and went up.
Lifting it, the heavy weight in his hand told him that the size of the fish caught this time was definitely not small.
Sure enough, when I brought it up, I saw that it was an alpine fish close to 40 centimeters. This type of fish is a veritable cold water fish and can thrive in cold water of more than 20 degrees below zero.
Although the most suitable temperature for alpine fish is minus 16 to 18 degrees, the fish in this almost isolated holy lake have survived in this low temperature environment all year round and must have been accustomed to breeding in this temperature.
There were obviously a lot of alpine fish in this lake, and soon Fatty caught another one, which was half a dozen bigger than the last one.
Wu Xie was on the side with tears of envy about to flow from his mouth. He looked at the fat man with resentful eyes and complained: "My fishing skills are not bad either. I have the same rod, the same line, and the same bait. Why?"
Any fish will love to bite your bait."
The fat man sniffed and grinned happily: "How about we change things, maybe the Feng Shui here is good."
Wu Xie said stubbornly: "No, I want to fish here. I don't believe it yet."
After saying that, he turned his head and stared at the float, thinking to himself, there are only two of them, my bait must be better than you think.
However, things didn't go as planned. After another hour, the fat man abandoned his fishing rod and returned to the temple to get some wine that was hot on the stove. Unexpectedly, as soon as his butt touched his backpack, a fish got hooked.
Wu Xie stared at the five large frozen fishes neatly arranged by the fat man on the pallet, and the resentment in his eyes almost solidified and dripped out.
"Let's change." In the end, the desire in his heart defeated his unwillingness to admit defeat. Wu Xie pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "You have already caught so many fish, let's make a change, at least it will make me fishy too."
.”
The fat man sighed with a smile, stood up and threw out all the remaining nest materials, then patted Wu Xie on the shoulder and gave him his seat.
Wu Xile moved his position happily, took a sip of soju, and waited for the fish to take the bait.
Perhaps it was Feng Shui that really affected his luck. Soon after he changed the position of the fat man, the float in front of him began to tremble randomly.
Anyone who has fished in the wild knows that this black drift phenomenon is usually caused by the bait being soaked underwater, and the small fish cannot swallow it in one bite and keep circling around the bait.
Wu Xie prayed in his heart, even a small fish is good, today is considered an opening, he believes that it will definitely get better and better in the future.
It has long been ingrained in the hearts of fishermen to lift the fishing rod when they see black drifts, so Wu Xie did not hesitate and immediately lifted the rod, but found that the strength under his hand was particularly heavy.
