Chapter 15: Exploring the Secret of the Qiqi River (I)
As the three of them walked for about seven or eight minutes, Yang Zi and the others rushed to the bank of the Qiqi River where Han Fu saw the big fish.
It's not a very wide stretch of water, but it quickly changes as you go downstream.
Not only did the river slow down, but the mountains on both sides gradually spread out, forming a surface of water about hundreds of meters wide, which felt like an inland lake.
"Yang Zi, you see, this is the section of the river where I met that big fish that day.
It went down the mountain gorge, and I guess it was on the side of the dam of the hydroelectric power station.
If you continue here, it is not very far from the hydropower station, so the water surface will become more and more open, and the depth in the middle is estimated to be more than 100 meters, which is a good habitat for these big fish. ”
Taking Yang Zi and the two to the bank of the river, Han Fu first introduced them to the situation he encountered, and by the way, he also talked about the topography of this section of the river.
Yang Zi looked around a little and suddenly felt a little numb, the water surface of this Qiqi River is too big, and he can't determine the location of the big fish, it seems that it is still difficult to realize the idea of catching this fish monster.
"Brother Fu, you should have a boat rental here, right?
I can't see anything on the shore, and I can only take a boat tomorrow to walk around the river. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Zi quickly made up his mind and began to inquire about Han Fu's charter.
Han Fu was not surprised, it was impossible to catch big fish on this river without a boat.
He had even thought about it for the other party in advance, and now after hearing Yang Zi's question, he hurriedly replied to him.
"Yes, there is a place not far from the past that rents boats for people to visit, large and small boats.
I also inquired about the contact information of the other party, and you can discuss your requirements with them later.
But it's not too early now, so let's go back and rest for the night, and then set off tomorrow.
It just so happens that I invite you to eat some of the local vegetables here, and you can go back and prepare some fishing tackle. ”
Yang Zi listened to Han Fu's opinion and nodded, and after answering the call, the three of them didn't go any further, but returned home directly.
With the big guys busy with their work, a sumptuous dinner was soon put on the table.
On the table, in addition to some frozen ingredients that Yang Zi and his car took out, there were also local chickens and fresh fish that Han Fu specially went to a nearby relative's house to catch.
These very good farmhouse dishes make everyone very satisfied, especially Qiaoqiao, a snack product, which will be so fast that they can't walk, so they can only go back to the car with a meow and lie there humming to eat.
Yang Zi and Han Fu sat outside and drank tea for a while, and then took down the sea fishing equipment they had placed before from the car and sorted it out.
These fishing tackles, which cost him more than 10,000 yuan, were used once last time on Wailingding Island, and they have been eating ashes in the corner since they came back.
This time, because Yang Zi's target fish was too big, these sea fishing equipment came in handy unexpectedly.
He changed the line and hook of the heavy iron rod again, and used the largest one.
This set of equipment was originally equipped by the owner of the fishing tackle shop according to the standard of trolling sailfish, plus the attachment of the mall fishing rod should be enough.
As for the bait, it is even simpler, Yang Zi bought some big-headed fish tails in the town before, and then hung them directly.
Because whether it is a Chinese sturgeon or a water monster, that fierce appearance does not look like a vegetarian.
After sorting out the things that need to be used tomorrow, Yang Zi contacted the charter side again.
According to his wishes, the two sides quickly agreed on the price, and they agreed on the location and time of the pick-up and then ended the call.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was still dark, so Yang Zi got up and began to wash up and prepare.
He was about to look for the fish monster, and he was very excited, although Yang Zi was not sure whether he could succeed in fishing, but it was this kind of unknown that made people feel that they were not looking forward to it.
He woke up Qiaoqiao, who had slept all night with Meow, and after the two of them were cleaned up, Han Fu's side was also ready, and the three of them and a cat were ready to go towards the dock of the rented boat.
Since this time he was preparing to catch the legendary fish monster, in order to ensure safety, Yang Zi rented one of the largest motor boats of the cruise company.
Although the structure of this ship is simple, with some railings and awnings on board, the hull is made of steel plates, which is strong and reliable.
They boarded the boat that arrived on time, and then asked the captain to start sailing downstream along the river, looking for the fish monsters along the way and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the river.
"Yang Zi, look, there is a big cave entrance under the water surface in the middle of that mountain bay.
In the past, there were also personnel from the tourism bureau who went in to investigate, but unfortunately all the underground was flooded with groundwater, and it was impossible to find out the details inside.
There are many such caves in this area, and the villagers on our side think that the big fish are running out of this kind of cave, and they don't know whether it is true or not.
However, it is certain that the fish monsters that people saw appeared after the construction of the downstream hydropower station, and no one had ever seen them before. ”
Standing at the bow of the boat with Yang Zi, Han Fu introduced the environment by the river to the other party, and at the same time began to talk about the locals' explanation of the origin of the fish monster.
"Everyone has seen so many people, hasn't anyone seen each other clearly?"
Yang Zi is a little curious, now that the whole people have entered the electronic society, there is a smartphone or something.
But the photos you took were extremely blurry, just like a black and white photo from the 80s, not to mention that they didn't look out of tune at all.
"It's inconclusive, some say it's a fish, some say it's a snake, and some even say it's a dragon. ”
Han Fu was also a little crying and laughing when he heard Yang Zi ask this, so he could only tell some of the information he knew.
"Dragon? They have read too many mythological novels! Haha! You say it's a whale, I believe it, so forget about the outrageous speculation of dragons. ”
Hearing that Han Fu actually even said the dragon, Yang Zi rolled his eyes to show his disbelief.
"Not the legendary dragon, but the ancient ichthyosaurus!
You're an outsider, so you don't know, we've dug up a lot of ichthyosaur fossils before.
And the underground rivers and caves here also provide a good hiding place, so their speculation is not unfounded. ”
Han Fu continued to explain after seeing the other party's suspicious face, hearing him say this, Yang Zi was really not good to refute again, but he still shook his head and said that he didn't believe this statement.
