Chapter 10: Lake Baikal (10)
On the shores of Lake Baikal, in the port of Tulta, a not very unremarkable hotel.
After several days of snowfall, the birch forests on the shores of Lake Baikal were dyed white, and even the streets were covered with a foot of snow.
In this kind of weather, not to mention going out fishing, even sitting in a hotel with a fire, the film crew members who came from southern China also felt cold in their backs.
"Eat my cannon? Hey, you don't want this horse, do you? Then I'll change hands with you!"
"Haha! change it, watch me take your army!"
"Ah, Brother Yang, I was wrong, let's do it again at that step just now!
"Hey, hey, you know it's wrong, then let's change it back!
I said, Tan Zi, how long have you been abroad? You even play chess so badly. ”
"Well, I learned to play chess in college and with my classmates in the dormitory.
I haven't been down for so long, of course I'm rusty!
Brother Yang, you see that this snow is almost a week, if it doesn't stop, how long are we going to wait?
I don't know how these old hairy people survive every year, it's only minus 20 degrees, and I can't stand it.
I heard that they have the lowest temperature here, and it's fun to have forty or fifty degrees below zero, and I can't stand it when I think about it. ”
Wearing a heavy sweater, Tan Ziqing was playing chess with Yang Zi, and from time to time she looked at the heavy snow falling outside.
"Haha! You compare with them, just like you play chess with me, can you be comparable?
People have lived here for generations, and they have long been accustomed to it!
As for the transfer, let's wait two days! Didn't Qiaoqiao read the weather forecast in the morning, this snow should stop tomorrow.
Since the lake hasn't frozen yet, let's do our best one last time, and if there is still no harvest, let's go straight to the next target point.
Even the latitude of Europe doesn't seem to be much lower than that of Siberia, so when we go, don't be like this again. ”
While pondering the chess game, Yang Zi was not as anxious as Tan Ziqing.
On a day of nearly 20 degrees below zero, he still wore a light jacket on his body, and he didn't feel cold at all.
It was six days since they last caught a sturgeon, and since that afternoon, the sky over Lake Baikal has been snowing incessantly.
Because the climate was too cold, except for Yang Zi, among the companions who accompanied him, Wood said that it was acceptable, and the others were shivering as soon as they went out.
Moreover, this is not just a matter of adding a few clothes, the main thing is that they are not used to this temperature, plus the wind and snow outside, the people who have barely tried it once, only lasted for half a day outside, and soon rushed back to the hotel in disgrace.
In this way, Ah Ling and Ah Feng began to have a high fever as soon as they returned to the hotel, and if it weren't for Yang Zi's healing skills, the situation might have been even more serious.
After such a temptation, Yang Zi also broke off the idea of going out to fish on a snowy day, and stayed honestly in the hotel for a few days, planning to wait for the snowfall to stop and go out again.
Now Siberia is becoming more and more unsuitable for travel, and if this fishing does not bear fruit, their group can only move to the next location.
………………
Maybe it's because I've been playing with it for so long, God also feels a little embarrassed, and early the next morning, Yang Zi, who got up, found that the snow outside had really stopped.
Overjoyed, he hurriedly woke up his companions one by one, and then the group quickly packed up their equipment and began their last fishing on Lake Baikal.
"What a beautiful snowy scene!
By the way, Brother Yang Zi, does the wild play you talked about last time count?
With such a beautiful scenery, I really want to go to the birch forest on the shore of the lake!"
After a few days of not coming out, the scenery on the shore of the lake has completely changed to a new look.
The whole world is covered in silver, except for the lake that still remains inky blue, and the trees and mountains and forests on the shore can only be faintly seen under the shroud of a trace of mist.
"Haha, aren't you afraid of the cold?
When we're done with this exploration, let's take a look!
However, we can't go too far, so let's just take a stroll around Tulta.
After all, the snow in the past few days has delayed too much time, and we still have to go to Europe to catch up with the progress. ”
"Tanzi, we've been running for so long, haven't we reached our destination yet?
I remember, the last time I came here, it seemed like this was the same time!"
"Hey, hey!
Don't worry, Lev is checking the place!
This time they took us a little farther and farther north than the last time.
Didn't he and I go to find out the news a few days ago!
In addition to the Selenga River, in fact, there is also a haunt of eels in this water, but it has been a little long, so I didn't tell you at that time.
Lev heard that this might be our last trip, so he planned to take everyone here to try their luck. ”
"I'll just say it! This old hairy man won't help until the end!
Does he wish we could stay a few more days and then eat and drink?
Hurry up and confirm the place with him, my poles are all packed, and I'm waiting to go fishing!"
………………
The speed of the yacht was very fast, and not long after Yang Zi asked here, Lao Maozi slowly slowed down the speed.
When the boat came to a stop, Yang Zi began to fish while looking at the surrounding environment.
It is the central body of the lake, and even the closest place to the shore is about a dozen kilometers away.
Coupled with the white fog, it made Yang Zi feel like he was in the sea.
After observing the environment, the two throwing rods in his hand were also ready, which were prepared in advance, so it didn't take much effort.
The bait is made of small fish caught in the lake before, and the fishing rod is a medium-sized sea fishing rod.
In addition to the relatively long preparation of the fishing line, the fishing weight of this kind of rod is not much better than that of casting, but compared with the heavy rock rod, it is light and flexible.
With the more big fish he catches, Yang Zi's choice of fishing tackle has also changed a lot.
He no longer blindly pursues firmness and sturdiness, but more from the comprehensive performance.
Of course, this is mainly related to the further improvement of his fishing skills.
After laying the fishing rod, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, and Yang Zi was guarding the rod on the deck.
As for the other companions, except for Tan Zi who was tossing the camera, and Wood was standing guard as usual, the two film crew members, plus Qiaoqiao, were unfortunately tossed by seasickness again.
However, compared with the last time, everyone's ability to bear this trip has improved significantly, and Ah Ling and Ah Feng even planned to insist on standing guard, but they were persuaded by Yang Zi.
Seasickness is a thing, so it's good to get used to it as soon as possible, and you don't have to force them too much.
Time gradually passed, and due to the drop in temperature, Yang Zi could clearly feel that the fish condition had deteriorated.
Not to mention the two fishing rods with large hooks, and even the small rock rod added at the back, there will be no movement.
Let everyone who was looking forward to improving the lunch meal have been waiting for an itch in their hearts.
At this time, the topic that everyone wanted to talk about had already been said about the same, so on the huge yacht, except for the slight wind and water sound, there was no other noise, and it seemed very quiet.
took a fishing box on the deck, and Yang Zi sat on it and looked at the fishing rod quietly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
This quiet atmosphere lasted for a long time, until Yang Zi, who was sitting on the fishing box, suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Brother De, do you feel it?
The water around here, and the degree of shaking of this yacht, is a little wrong!
Like, it's as if the whole lake is jolting!"
After carefully experiencing the movement, Yang Zi couldn't help but ask about his companion's feelings.
"Do you feel it?
It was as if something was hitting the bottom of the water, and if you look at the lake, the waves are almost a meter.
Tanzi, ask Lev what is the situation!"
Hearing Yang Zi say this, Wood couldn't sit still.
“~!@#%#@!”
"Damn! It's an earthquake!"
"Brother Yang, Lao Maozi said that there was an earthquake!
Shall we continue to stay here, or shall we go back to the hotel?"
Before Tan Ziqing took the initiative to ask, Lev had already shouted in advance.
Hearing such an astonishing news, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly exchanged opinions with his companions.
"Earthquake?
Brother De, help me collect things, I'm afraid this fish can't be caught, let's withdraw first.
Tan Zi, you ask Lev to quickly dock the boat and observe the situation on the shore first.
I don't know how big this earthquake is, and whether it will cause waves, so let's avoid the storm first. ”
Fishing can be so coincidental that there is an earthquake, and Yang Zi feels that there are no one left.
Think about your hometown, how happy you are!
Over the years, I have never seen any earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, or typhoons, and the disasters on TV seem to exist in another world.
As a result, the first destination of this trip abroad was bumped into by myself.
Several people were busy here, and the feeling of jolting in the water gradually began to become stronger.
It stands to reason that if a person encounters an earthquake in the water, he should not feel very much.
The only thing to worry about is the tsunami and waves it causes.
But as the movement became bigger and bigger, Yang Zi and the others finally understood that the earthquake that occurred this time was estimated to be very small.
Even Lao Maozi, who was calm before, let go of his arrogance as a fighting nation and began to actively cooperate with everyone to move to the shore.
"Brother Yang, what's going on?
It's like an earthquake, my head is starting to get dizzy again, why don't you tell Lev to slow down!"
The boat is busy, and the few people hiding in the boat will not be comfortable.
No, Qiaoqiao struggled to run onto the deck to inquire about the situation because of this sudden shaking.
"Sister-in-law, your feeling is more accurate than a seismograph!
Haha! I really got you right, there's an earthquake on the shore here.
You go back to the cabin and sit down, we must hurry to the shore and take shelter. ”
Hearing Qiaoqiao's question, Yang Zi didn't speak yet, and Tan Ziqing on the side told the other party the truth with a look of admiration.
Hearing this, Qiao Qiao hurriedly looked at Yang Zi, and after seeing that the other party was also nodding, he walked back to the cabin very obediently.
She also knew the priority of the matter, and instead of causing trouble for everyone on it, she ran down to inform Ah Ling and them.
The group packed up their belongings, waited for Lev to start the yacht, and began to gallop towards the nearest lakeshore.
