Chapter 16: Transitions

A few hundred meters down the fishing spot from the beginning is where the two tributaries meet.

The water here is wider than the previous section, because on the left is the entrance to a small river, the banks of which have been washed away and collapsed over the years, making the whole river gourd shaped.

In addition, the water of the tributary river is not as clear as the main channel, which also affects the water quality of the entire water, which is a little turbid.

This is after Yang Zi ran fishing, and re-selected a fishing spot, the waters in front of it because of the movement is too noisy, there will be no fish for a while and a half, so I can only give up.

It just so happened that Tan Ziqing accidentally discovered this estuary while fishing nearby, Yang Zi came over to check it out, and after feeling satisfied, he rushed over with everyone.

After the previous toss and turning, and after changing the venue, the time was almost noon, and everyone who had eaten breakfast at five o'clock would already be hungry.

Seeing this, Yang Zi didn't rush off the pole, and made a fire with Wood, and set up an iron pot to prepare to boil water for cooking.

He didn't catch any fish in the morning, but Tan Ziqing had a lot of gains, a few catfish weighing four or five catties, processed the internal organs with a knife by the river, cut them into large sections and put them in the pot, and then added some locally bought hot sauce and salt, and a pot of fish soup was boiled like this.

After consuming the ingredients they brought over themselves, many of them, including chili peppers, have begun to run out of stock, so Yang Zi can't guarantee the taste of this pot of fish soup.

Just in case, he also took some ham and sausages from the food box, cut them into pieces and fried them slightly in a pan until fragrant, and then divided half a bag of bread into each of them, ready to eat a simple lunch.

"Gollum...... Gollum ......"

As the fish soup in the pot boiled, a faint fragrance permeated, and when the soup became thick and white, Yang Zi scooped a spoonful and tried the taste.

To his surprise, the fish soup cooked so casually tasted quite good, even if a lot of spices were not put in, it couldn't taste a little fishy.

The soup is fragrant and delicious, with an aftertaste, the local spicy sauce here likes to put tomatoes, so that the taste of the fish is sour and spicy, and the meat of the fish itself is sweet, after tasting the soup, Yang Zi unconsciously put a piece of fish meat into his mouth.

The flavor of the boiled fish is stronger than the soup, because the catfish itself has no spines, and when the tongue is gently deflated, the fish will spread out entirely, and the smooth and delicate taste will perfectly conquer all the taste buds on his tongue.

"Hey, everyone, try it, this fish tastes amazing, much better than ours in China."

What a bonus!"

Yang Zi, who has always been mouthful, was conquered by a pot of fish soup this time, he beckoned his companions, and scooped a lot with a spoon and handed it to Qiaoqiao.

"Hey, Brother Yang, is this the delicious food you cooked, or is the fish delicious?

I feel that this taste is much stronger than that of any Manchu and Han banquets. ”

"Mmmmmmmm

The taste is so good, it should have a lot to do with fish, right? I remember that Brother Yang didn't put any condiments. ”

After everyone tasted a few bites of fish soup, they all gave high praise.

"It's good for fish, so I put some hot sauce and salt, but it's not seasoned, but it's also related to your hunger!

Hehe, hey, at least we're going to have a good time for the next few days. ”

Seeing that his companions were satisfied, Yang Zi was also very happy, and at the end of this lunch, the bread that was originally used as the staple food was not moved, but the big pot of fish soup and fish meat was eaten upside down.

In this way, Tan Ziqing also shouted that she was not full, saying that she would continue to work hard in the afternoon and catch a few more catfish to have a good time, and won the unanimous approval of her peers.

After settling the lunch, everyone began to clean up the mess with a shy stomach, and Yang Zi got up to pack up the fishing rod and prepare to fish again after a short rest.

The re-selected fishing spot, the environment is much more empty than the previous section of the river, and there are not so many dead trees in the water, so it is more convenient to go on the fish and walk the fish, and Yang Zi feels very lucky to find such a good place in the dense forest.

He hung the bait on the rig, threw it into the water, and when the line set fell into the middle of the river, he began to sit on a folding bench and wait patiently.

It's the hottest time of the day, and although it's covered by dense forests and the sun isn't particularly strong, it's still very uncomfortable.

"Brother Yang, is there any movement over there?

It's weird, I've changed places a few times, but I haven't been bitten by a fish, can't I go to a nap?"

Time passed slowly, and after fishing nearby for a long time, Tan Ziqing, who had no gains, was a little puzzled, why did the fish condition that was so good in the morning worse?

"Don't worry, the fish don't bite the bait much at this time, and I don't have any movement!

If you try to go farther, the other party may have hid in the deep water, the weather is so hot, they are also stuffy, and the center of the river will be cooler. ”

Like Tan Ziqing, Yang Zi doesn't have much to say, but his patience is better.

What's more, with such a large fishing hook, it can't eat ordinary fish.

"Hey, Brother Yang, what kind of fish did you say you ran away from in the morning?

With such a lot of strength, it must not be small, it can't be the big bass we want to catch, right?"

Seeing that Yang Zi didn't move, Tan Ziqing's heart was much more balanced, he patiently laid a good rod according to what the other party said, and then talked about the big fish in the morning.

"It's hard to say, it doesn't even show up, but it's not necessarily a sea bass, and the catfish here can grow that big.

Don't be too reluctant to catch a big fish, if you fall into the water and encounter a crocodile, it will be a big problem. ”

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of crocodiles, I'm afraid that if there is no fish bite, our fish soup at night has not yet landed!"

The hippie smiled and responded to Yang Zi, but Tan Ziqing didn't go to the end, and moved back a meter or two with the fishing rod.

The two chatted so unhurriedly, until nearly half an hour passed, there was a sudden sound on Tan Ziqing's side, and he held the fishing rod and tossed for several minutes, and finally caught a fish that opened in the afternoon.

There seem to be a lot of catfish in this river, and everyone has just eaten a few at noon, and this will be caught by the net, and it is a big catfish weighing five or six catties.

With the harvest, Tan Ziqing's motivation was obviously much more sufficient, he put the fish away, and then continued to cast the rod.

The bite of this catfish was like a signal, and it didn't take long for Yang Zi and Tan Ziqing to harvest one after another.

It's not a particularly big thing, but it's a getaway from the tedious waiting.

In the process, they also saw a leopard on the other side of the river drinking water, which was the first time they saw a carnivorous wild animal outside the car after entering the park, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

Fierce animals like lions, tigers, and leopards don't usually come near the edge of the park, as local rangers regularly remove them to prevent them from threatening humans.

Regarding the leopard they saw, Tan Ziqing explained that it was all a good thing done by those poachers.

In many parts of Africa, there is no shortage of poachers who hunt animals for profit, often in small numbers, find a target, kill them on the spot, and then take the most valuable parts of the prey, leaving the rest in place.

During the rampant period, the places where these people passed were almost life-threatening.

After learning about this incident, the government departments have also done a lot of preventive and management work, but with little effect.

These people have been wandering in the wilderness all year round, they are extremely familiar with the terrain and routes, and they have high-powered firearms, which really pushes them into a hurry, and it is not a matter of causing people to die or anything.

In recent years, in addition to the soldiers who have been killed against poachers, many people sent by animal protection organizations have died at the hands of these illegals.

makes people deeply disgusted with them, gritting their teeth with hatred, but also helpless against them.

It is these people who have disrupted the order in the forest park, and some carnivores will go out of their usual territory to the edge or even residential areas in order to escape from pursuit, or because they are searching for prey, causing some frightening and hurting incidents.
