Volume 1 Odd Jobs Against the Sky Arowana

The wolf and He Peng became friends, which gave him a warm feeling in the cold and snow, but he hoped that it was better not to come to the blizzard again, because the two wolves could still use him as food when food was scarce.

Luckily, the blizzard didn't come back, and he got along well with the wolves.

Wolves are accustomed to tasting salt and cooked food, and gradually lose their guard against each other. They sometimes even get close to within a meter, but the wild wolf still refuses to let He Peng touch their necks like his own big yellow dogs.

The coldest time has passed, and the wind already has the breath of spring in it.

On this day, He Peng was still making hopeless observations as usual.

At the third observation point, the river suddenly tumbled, and the silt at the bottom rose up, reducing the periscope's viewing distance to less than a foot.

But there were still a lot of fish to be seen at this point, and they passed through the mirror in panic, as if they were fleeing for their lives.

He Peng was surprised, what could cause the fish to panic?

A warning sign of an earthquake?

On this day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, wild birds are flying in the sky comfortably, and there are even grassland rats that crawl out of their burrows early to bask in the snow and sun, except for the fish, the other animals are behaving normally, which should not be a precursor to natural disasters.

He Peng put his eyes close to the periscope lens again to look in, and suddenly he was startled, because one eye in the river was also looking at the periscope opening. The other party was obviously taken aback.

Both sides panicked away and hurriedly put their eyes together.

Arowana! He Peng was very excited in his heart, it must be an Arowana, and he finally saw it after waiting all winter.

It was a small fish, golden red, with a palm-long body and a slight halo.

The fat man is right, when you see it, you will know that it is an Arowana.

Because although it is a fish, He Peng's heart has an inexplicable feeling that it is a dragon!

Catch it, how to catch it?

No matter how you want to catch it, you have to dig the ice first, but it must have run away first.

He Peng was worried.

Suddenly he noticed that every time he put his head in the mirror, the arowana would be unhappy, yes!

He Peng thought, creatures with high intelligence will have a strong curiosity, could it be like I observe the bottom of the water and are looking at the outside world? If I block the mouth of the mirror, it will get angry?

He Peng had an idea.

Attract it like a wolf!

He Peng also has a mirror on his body, which is used to tidy up his appearance when washing, he took it out, found the right distance, and reflected the nearby snow scenes, mountain scenes, distant animals, and even himself in the mirror, and refracted it through the periscope.

Arowana was really attracted, and He Peng was there all day to show Arowana the diorama, and at the same time he also observed Arowana's movements.

Its eyes were full of wisdom. The expression is cute.

But He Peng also saw a terrifying scene for him, once it suddenly disappeared, and after a while, it appeared again, the small fish mouth held a big fish, the fish was still alive but scared to move, the dragon fish took two bites on the fattest part of the big fish's belly, and then drove it away. The big fish that had enough to feed the wolf fled in panic, but it was clearly not going to live.

The wolf took a big rabbit in his mouth, squatted on the shore and looked at He Peng strangely, but He Peng ignored him, and He Peng returned to the cave when it was completely dark.

On this day, the wolf did not eat the roast and left disappointed, but it left the rabbit behind.

He Peng thought that fishing could not be forced, and if it failed, it would not appear again.

Under the starlight, He Peng was busy on the glacier all night, using a homemade tool to dig a small hole next to the periscope, put down a hollow wooden pipe, and the next day He Peng stayed on the river until noon, the arowana did not appear, and the fish were chaotic again when a strong sense of disappointment came up.

He Peng was happy.

The small mirror once again projected the outside scenery into the river, and after a while the arowana was watching again.

But its expression today was clearly less interested than it was yesterday.

Once the arowana loses interest, it won't come back.

He Peng immediately took out a few shelled pine nuts from his pocket and threw them into the hollow woodpipe, which had been plundered from a squirrel's tree hole.

The pine nut entered the river and startled the arowana, it swam far away at once, and after a while it came back again, it became interested in the pine nut, ate one, and spit it out, still with a disgusted expression.

He Peng thought that this guy should be a carnivore.

He took out a small packet of rabbit minced meat with body temperature from his bosom and lowered it down from the hollow wooden pipe.

The smell of the fresh minced meat was clearly appealing to it, and after the initial temptation, it took a bite, then quickly ate the minced meat, and then lazily swam away.

It's done! He Peng is overjoyed, as long as you are willing to eat, he can catch you.

The next day, He Peng gave it a kind of prepared meat foam, which was marinated with salt and several condiments, and mixed with animal fat.

The Arowana tasted it carefully.

In the next few days, He Peng would change his taste every day.

But he didn't dare to hook the fish, he believed that the arowana was wise, and once the hook failed, the arowana would not come again, and there was only one chance to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Finally, the Arowana got used to He Peng's feeding, and on this day, He Peng prepared the minced meat with the 'ingredients' according to the Arowana's favorite taste and put it down.

The arowana seemed to sense something, and was cautious at first, but couldn't help but tempt to taste a small bite, and swallowed it in a big gulp without noticing anything abnormal, and the meat foam was more than usual today.

After the arowana was completely full, it fell asleep in the same place, and the anesthetic worked.

He Peng was overjoyed, immediately chiseled the ice with an iron pickaxe, but the ice has been very thick after a winter, and he couldn't open it for a while, He Peng found that the arowana began to shake with the current, and there was a tendency to slowly drift away, and he couldn't help but be anxious, every chisel hit with all his strength, when he finally chiseled through the ice to touch it, the arowana had drifted away, almost to be able to arrive, He Peng could only use the iron pickaxe to dial it, it flicked its tail, and floated farther.

"you'll hide when you're asleep. ”

He Peng could only quickly expand the ice cave. Finally, with a click, a piece of ice cracked, and the ice mouth expanded a large piece, and He Peng took off his clothes and got into the water.

The biting cold couldn't be taken care of, and when he went into the water, he swam towards the arowana, and the arowana noticed something, opened half of his eyes with difficulty, closed them again, and opened them suddenly, and flicked his tail in a panic, but the anesthetic prepared by He Peng still had an effect, and its movements were uncoordinated, and it was spinning in the water.

But He Peng caught it a few times and ran away, its strength was very great, and a small fishtail was more painful than a steel whip in his hand.

He Peng couldn't hold his breath and exhaled, and then went back to catch it, the ability of the Arowana to resist anesthesia was very high, the medicinal properties gradually lost, its sensitivity gradually improved, and it was even difficult for He Peng to touch it.

Finally, it was completely sober, with an angry and mocking look in its eyes, and it actually took the initiative to attack He Peng.

He Peng was taken aback, it was hard to imagine that a small fish the size of a palm would show a contemptuous look at him.

But it is qualified, it is the king in the water, He Peng soon found that he was really dangerous, after it recovered, its strength was even stronger, it could rush over like an arrow, bite He Peng hard and then escape, and then come again!

He Peng felt that something was wrong, he wanted to escape, and fled back to the ice mouth.

But the Arowana expected it, it actually stopped, and kept hitting He Peng at high speed, biting out a lot of small blood on He Peng's body, and the blood stained a piece of river water.

He Peng had been holding his breath for a long time, he couldn't hold it back, his lungs were about to explode, and his head was buzzing.

He struggled desperately to swim to the mouth of the ice, but every time he was knocked back by the arowana, the strength of the arowana in the water was too great.

In the haze, He Peng took out a dagger, poked it under the ice, flicked it hard, and rushed to the vicinity of the ice mouth with his strength.

The Arowana slammed into it again.

He Peng's head was already confused, he forced himself to open his eyes wide, when the arowana was half a foot away from his chest, he swung out the dagger suddenly, and the knife slapped on the arowana's body, and the high-speed perception ability played a role, this time, the shot was very solid, and the arowana was slapped away.

It was flying! He Peng saw it for the last time, and the arowana flew out of the ice mouth!

Then He Peng fell into a coma.

The last thought is, after all, Lao Tzu is not a fish after all!

It's cold, it's cold, it's cold, and the cold wind blows, and the cold hair stands on end!

Only the chest felt warm.

Open your eyes. Then he heard a whine, and a gray shadow ran away from him.

The two gray wolves looked at him from two meters away, He Peng felt cold, but fortunately, he was actually on the glacier, he thought that it must have been Brother Wolf who dragged him up, and Brother Wolf was keeping him warm just now.

He wanted to thank them, but he was dizzy, and he swayed to his feet, wrapping his clothes around the ice mouth.

I looked around blankly, and there was no Arowana on the white glacier.

Poof! The male gray wolf spat out, and half of the arowana spat out of the wolf's mouth.

He Peng couldn't cry or laugh!

Brother Wolf actually took half of it.

The gray wolf wagged his tail and stuck out his big tongue as if to say that it didn't taste good.

He Peng picked up half of the dragon fish, but fortunately the half with the fish head was left, so that people could feel that it was a dragon at a glance!

Make a fire and boil water!

He Peng lit a big fire at the entrance of the cave, and he knew that he was sick!

Take the medicine, drink the water, and eat the rest of the chocolate in one go.

Before he fell unconscious, he didn't forget to throw the remaining half of the rabbit to Brother Wolf, He Peng was afraid that they would treat him as food.

The fire is slowly extinguished, cold!

When the sun rose the next day, He Peng slowly opened his eyes, the male wolf was curled up in his arms, but the female wolf was gone.

He Peng felt better. Gently scratched the wolf's neck, "Thank you, Brother Wolf, for saving me again!"

The male wolf stood up and shook his fur, and howled, He Peng knew that it was a secret signal between her and the she-wolf, and the she-wolf would respond when she heard it.

But this time there was no response!

The male wolf was in a hurry and ran into the distance, howling as he ranched, and the sound spread far away.

He Peng took the medicine again, the fire rose again, boiled water and drank, and ate all the food that replenished energy at once, there was no stock, but at this time he needed energy, although his body's ability to resist disease far exceeded that of ordinary people, but in this environment, he must not take it lightly, those wounds on his body that were bitten by the arowana would be fatal if he was not careful!

Hmmm-

It was the cry of Brother Wolf, coming from far away, and there was despair in his voice!
