Chapter 167: Fishing in the Mori River (Part II)
Tentatively cast a net, only caught a small fish less than ten centimeters, and because the gap between the nets was too large, it slipped away halfway.
"Boss, this can't be done, we can see the fish, and these giant tafin fish can also see us!
Alexander shouted, and the pike heard the movement and fled quickly, and he sat down on the side of the boat and said, "The water is too clear, you have to go further downstream." ”
"Today you are the boss, listen to you. ”
Martinez spread his hands and said, putting his feet on the stern of the boat, pouting his ass to start the fishing boat, and the diesel engine was emitting black smoke and slowly moving forward.
There are no other boats on this stretch of water, and there are no houses on either side, except for hills and grasslands, where the reeds sway in the wind and the silky white flowers hang low at the top.
It was almost ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was half hanging in the eastern sky, and in the fishing boat on the river, Anderson was crouching by the fishing boat's storage box rummaging for something, and after a while, he raised the canned beer and shouted, "Haha! I know! Patton kept telling us to quit drinking, and the last time I came back from fishing, I smelled alcohol on him!"
"It's not a good habit to steal from other people. ”
"And you, Martinez, put your foot down and get Barton's baby dirty, be careful that he kills you. ”
Father Han said lazily, digging into his trouser pocket, took out a crumpled fifty-dollar bill, and shook it towards Anderson: "Put this in, count us as if we bought it, bring me a can of beer, and look for it again?"
"It's gone. ”
Anderson looked down and said, "But there are still more than half a bottle of whiskey, yo, or four roses, do you want to drink pure whiskey?"
"Of course!" Alexander said, turning and smiling.
"Son. Some beer?" said to the boy's father, who broke the tab and saw that there was still an extra bottle of beer after the beer was divided.
"Okay, give it to me!"
Han Xuan sat on the edge of the boat, his trouser legs rolled up to his knees, and his feet dangling in the water. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he leaned sideways and stretched out his hand to his father.
"I think it's beautiful, okay, the bottle of French Latour I hid in the living room, was it stolen by you?"
"Cut, don't think that my mother won't be able to find it if she puts it high, she will take it to stew beef. Han Xuan said with disdain.
"You mean last time I used my bottle of wine for beef stew!?"
"Yes"
The sediment on both sides of the river has been eroded by the Mori River, and the water becomes more turbid the further downstream. The surface of the river also became wider, and Han Xuan's eyes stared at the perch that jumped not far away, and asked, "Is it okay now?" Mr. Alexander. ”
Swallowing the whiskey in his mouth, Alexander looked at the river and replied, "Almost, Martinez! ”
"Okay captain!" the black boy squeezed the can in his hand and threw it back in the cabin. Hold the control stick in your hand and adjust the speed to slowly approach the shore.
Alexander closed the lid on the bottle. As soon as he put it at his feet, he was snatched by Jones, rolled his eyes and muttered a word to a robber, and began to arrange the fishing nets.
The nets are like pockets with foam floats around them, and they can sink into the water, but they don't sink all the way to the bottom. The density is slightly larger than that of water, and when the fish gets into the net, it will shrink under force, which is different from ordinary dragnets and trawls.
Shake off the aquatic weeds, stack the nets in order in his hand, and look at the water on both sides of the boat. Find a shallow place and throw it hard.
The nets fell on the surface of the river and gradually sank, Alexander asked Martinez to hand over an empty bottle, wrapped the rope in his hand, placed it on the surface of the water to mark the location of the net, wiped his hand on his pants, and said: "Now just wait......
The two-collared plover, which was foraging in the reeds, was startled, with two black markings on its neck, a gray back, and a whitish belly, and a large flock of chirping in the air.
The strong taste of the four-rose cocktail choked, Jones's face was a little red, he found a clean place to sit down, looked around, looked at the nearby scenery, and sighed: "Boss, leave me a place here when I get married, it doesn't need to be too big, I want to live here in the future." ”
"If it weren't for Cheryl working in Great Falls, I wouldn't have bought a house there, I really regret it, it's better to live close to nature, God, I'm going to have to climb twenty-three floors to get home without a power outage, and living there is like being in a cage. ”
Anderson complained.
Tilting his head and pouring the last few drops of beer into his mouth, he squished the can and sizzled it, staring at the can next to the boy's father.
Father Han grabbed it in the palm of his hand and said vigilantly: "Mine is gone, drink whiskey." ”
He smiled at Jones: "Anyway, the ranch is so big, you can find a place at will, even if it is built into a White House, it will be fine." ”
"All I need is a few cabins. ”
Jones heard him joking, and laughed, "You've got to find a girl who likes this place first, and that's the same as Anderson." ”
"Hey! What's wrong with Cheryl, you're obviously jealous that I got married earlier than you! She's busy with work now and doesn't want children, and my son will run away by then, so I guess you're still single." ”
Anderson glanced at Father Han: "We have too few ranch girls, and we are usually bored with work, look at Martinez and Jones, you can pity them, boss." ”
"There are enough people on the ranch, or will you voluntarily resign and give up your position?" Martinez, if you look at me like that again, I'll throw you off the ship."
Han Xuan didn't say a word, listened to them intently, felt funny, took out the beef jerky snacks prepared for him by his mother from his pocket, and ate them by himself.
The soles of your feet hit the water and you accidentally hit something, and it feels like a plastic bottle?
"Daddy!
Hearing Han Xuan's shout, several cowboys on the boat were stunned for a while, as if they were thinking about how the fishing net could run, and found that the plastic bottle marked not far away was dragged up and hung in the air, and then fell on the surface of the water with a slight snap.
Alexander came back to his senses, took out his pocket and threw it in the cabin, leaped into the water skillfully, and cried out, "Get out of here!"
"Okay!" Martinez quickly turned the rocker, but the engine of the fishing boat did not move.
The more anxious he was, the easier it was to make mistakes, and in a hurry, he kicked the engine hard, squatted down and covered his legs and shouted, "!"
As soon as the words fell, black smoke came out, and the fishing boat began to spin in a circle without anyone manipulating it, Anderson hurriedly held the joystick, his expression excited: "Wow!
Han Xuan and his father were lying on the side of the boat and watching, more than 20 meters away, Alexander swam so fast that he almost grabbed the rope on the plastic bottle, inserted his hand into the water again, paddled forward, slammed his head, turned his head left and right and didn't see the bottle, took a deep breath and plunged to the bottom.
Bubbles kept popping up by the river, and after a few moments, Alexander came up and shouted, "I've got it!"
Now he doesn't have to paddle, he can be dragged forward by fishing nets, sinking and drinking water from time to time, and he will not let go.
Maneuvering a fishing boat was easy, and even Anderson, who had never learned before, was able to move forward smoothly.
Alexander was dragged into the water again, and just as he came to the surface, a dark figure appeared in front of him.
Suddenly his eyes widened, and he hurriedly swam to the side, shouting, "Damn! You almost hit me!"
"Sorry, give me the rope. Anderson smiled awkwardly and bent over to reach out.
Alexander took his hand and dragged it back, and in the next second, a huge splash of water set off on the surface of the Mori River. (To be continued.) )
