Chapter 2: Lake Belga (2)
The first time I heard about Lake Belga, Yang Zi started with Li Jian's "On the Shore of Lake Belga".
Vicissitudes with a melancholy voice and energetic and romantic tunes left a deep impression on him.
This freshwater lake, the eighth deepest, the oldest, the clearest, and the largest in the world, has many legends and anecdotes in the outside world.
Of course, Yang Zi and the others did not intend to explore these rumors and strange things this time, but to concentrate on fishing.
The weather at this time is slightly better than yesterday, although it is still cloudy, but there are finally no scattered snowflakes.
Riding a luxury yacht, Yang Zi and his party galloped quickly on the dark blue lake.
Originally, Yang Zi's plan was just to rent a suitable speedboat.
But when I got to the charter boat, I couldn't find the one I liked, the speed was enough, and the boat was a little small and crowded.
And the space is enough, but the speed can't keep up, such a big lake, Yang Zi doesn't plan to spend too much time on the road.
Picking and choosing, he simply chose this yacht, which cost millions.
It just so happens that the temperature outside is too low, and if your companion can't stand it, you can go to the cabin to cat.
Unlike speedboats, yachts have a lot more features and equipment, and they are also expensive.
In order to ensure safety, the rental company also has an experienced captain to help the guests drive.
This middle-aged uncle in his forties, tall and bearded, gives people the feeling that he is very energetic.
But the premise is that he can put down the bottle of vogats in his hand, which has a degree of more than 60 degrees.
Looking at the boss of the ship who poured a sip of liquor from time to time and held the rudder with one hand, Yang Zi and them, this will collectively be messy in the cold wind.
Big brother, can we be more professional? Is it really good to drive a boat while drinking?
Sure enough, the habits of the fighting nation are really bold enough.
“@#%\/~!)?”
Looking at the passengers on the ship, they all stared at each other and kept looking at themselves, and the old captain Maozi said something to them.
"Uh, Brother Yang, the captain is asking us, are we sailing so aimlessly, or should we find a place to play. ”
Listening to the captain say a few words of Russian, Tan Ziqing on the side hurriedly started the translation work.
"Hey, I thought he understood that his drinking behavior was inappropriate, but he was asking this!
You just ask him to take us to this shallow water area, where there are more fish.
Anyway, I'm not in a hurry for this day, let's settle down dinner first. ”
Listening to Tan Ziqing's translation, Yang Zi looked at the boat boss speechlessly, and had to say helplessly.
explained the requirements to the Russian uncle, but the other party carried it out quickly, and with a direct right rudder, the yacht began to sail towards a wide inlet.
"Brother Yang Zi, look, the lake water here is so clear! From such a depth, you can see the bottom of the lake.
This is a bit similar to the Fuxian Lake we visited when we were in Yunnan. ”
As the yacht gradually approached the mountain bay, the water level in the lake began to become significantly shallower.
Qiaoqiao, who was enjoying the scenery and taking pictures on the boat, suddenly pointed to the shore of the yacht and shouted loudly at Yang Zi.
"I told you that this is the clearest lake in the world. Visibility, reaching more than forty meters, is still so much fuss.
However, speaking of Fuxian Lake, there is really a very similar place here, do you want to know?"
After laughing at Qiaoqiao, Yang Zi said a little mysteriously.
"Don't sell me all the time. ”
laughed at Yang Zi's ridicule, Qiaoqiao was very coquettish.
"Then I said, you must not be afraid.
Do you remember the legend that Dai Ping told us about when he was in Fuxian Lake?
Uh, that's it, the rumors about the Fuxian Lake corpse bank. Later, when I saved people, I also verified it. ”
Smiling, Yang Zi recalled.
"How can I forget this, speaking of this, I'm still tossing in my stomach now!
Don't tell me, there's this in Lake Belga!"
Thinking of Fuxian Lake's experience, Qiaoqiao seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Haha!
The difference is that the bottom of the lake here is too deep for people to go down and explore, so it has not been confirmed.
However, this incident was described in great detail in the history of the time.
How about it? Would you like me to tell you?"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Yang Zi didn't say it directly, but asked Qiaoqiao's opinion first.
"Hmph, don't listen, so as not to affect my appetite at night, you want to say, go to Brother De and them!
I went to sit inside the cabin for a while, it was too cold outside. ”
As soon as she heard that there was such a thing, Qiaoqiao was very dissatisfied, and in order not to affect her appetite at night, she rolled her eyes at Yang Zi and went directly down to the cabin to avoid the topic.
"Eh, Brother Yang, don't stop!
Sister-in-law is gone, we still want to hear it!
What the hell is going on with that corpse storehouse?"
Seeing Qiaoqiao leaving, Tan Ziqing, who listened to the beginning next to him, immediately said to Yang Zi.
"Hey, hey, it's not a secret story, it's all on Baidu.
During the First World War, didn't an October Revolution break out in Russia?
At that time, the Red Army, led by the Bolsheviks, and the White Army, which formed the opposition and foreign interference forces, fought very fiercely.
In the end, the Red Army was victorious, and the defeated White Army, together with its supporters, began a great escape of the century.
In total, there were as many as 1,250,000 fugitives, about 500,000 troops of the White Army, and about 750,000 Russian nobles and monks, including women and children.
They took the last money left by the Tsar, 500 tons of gold and silver treasures of the Romanov dynasty, and fled to this side of Lake Baikal in wagons pulling grain.
During the long migration across 8,000 kilometers, the cold of Siberia was severe due to the winter.
The temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero quickly dropped the number of fugitives from 1.25 million to more than 250,000.
These people went through hardships and finally arrived in Irkutsk. In front of them was the frozen Lake Belga.
At that time, Baikal was covered with ice thickness of more than three meters, and it was no problem to walk at all.
As long as they crossed the lake and then went south, these fugitives might be able to escape the pursuit of the Red Army and move towards freedom.
But just as they were staggering on the surface of the lake, the climate changed abruptly, and a blizzard wrapped in strong cold air made the temperature at that time suddenly drop to minus 70 degrees.
Such extreme weather caused the 250,000 fugitives to be quickly frozen and frozen to death in a very short period of time.
All living creatures that could move turned into ice sculptures in this snowstorm, and the lake was littered with corpses.
Later, these frozen corpses, for several months, remained on the surface of the lake in the last state of their lives.
Until spring came, the ice and snow on the lake began to melt, and their corpses sank into the lake one after another through the cracks in the ice.
As for whether these corpses have been eaten by the fish and shrimp in the lake over the past so many years, people do not know.
How did you feel after listening to this story?"
In one breath, Yang Zi finished telling a legendary story he saw on the Internet.
Thanks to his improved intelligence, his memory has also increased a lot, so he remembers it very clearly.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand? Oh my God! This is too terrifying! Alas, we are still living in a time of peace and happiness!
By the way, Brother Yang, what about the treasures they carried? Could it be that they also fell into the lake with these people?"
Surprised by the huge number of people, Tan Ziqing sighed, and then asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
“…………
Why? Are you still going to go to the bottom of the lake to fish?
Haha! There is no record of the whereabouts of these treasures.
However, even if you sink to the bottom of the lake, you should not be whimsical.
Do you know how deep the lake is? More than a thousand meters? And it's so large.
Even if you can go down, you may not be able to find it. ”
Looking at Tan Ziqing's appearance as a fan of wealth, Yang Zi couldn't help but laugh a few words.
At this time, they had already taken the boat and came to the waters chosen by the captain of the ship.
As the speed of the boat slowed down until it slowly came to a standstill, the old Maozi captain, after fixing the boat, said a few words to Tan Ziqing, signaling that he had arrived at the place and could start fishing.
"That's it, Tan Zi, ask him again, in addition to lobsters, what other fish are easy to catch here."
Being able to find out some information from him can save us a lot of effort. ”
Carrying a few shrimp pots in his hand, Yang Zi said to Tan Ziqing while putting bait inside.
"Uh! Brother Yang, this old Maozi, I don't know much about this.
Just tell me that this season, the surface fish on the surface of the lake are rarely active, so let's go to the bottom of the lake and think of a way. ”
After saying a few words to the boat boss, Tan Ziqing replied to Yang Zi.
"If there is news, it's okay to ask. Otherwise, I would have planned to fish for lures.
Brother De, come and help me pull the cage, straighten it up, just throw it into the water.
We're counting on these cages for the most part of our dinner tonight.
By the way, if you like fishing, you can also pick a fishing rod and play with it.
Our goal today is to eat and have fun first, and then go to inquire about the clues of the eel. ”
After receiving Lao Maozi's message, Yang Zi arranged the shrimp pot, and by the way, he planned to pull his companion and fish with him.
The water situation here is unknown, and one more person means one more chance.
To be honest, there are a few people in their team, and they really haven't fished together in such a leisurely manner.
Therefore, Yang Zi has never known whether several other people are interested in fishing.
"Since Brother Yang, you have spoken, then Ah Feng and I don't have a camera!
Hey, Tanzi, Brother De, do you two want to come over together? It's very interesting!"
Hearing Yang Zi say this, Ah Ling, who was recording the material next to him, immediately began to cheer.
He said hello to his companions, then ran to the side with Ah Feng and began to neatly pack up his fishing gear.
Looking at their familiar appearance, although they are not as familiar as professional players, they are also familiar with the way.
"That's one of me, haha! But I don't know how to play, you'll have to teach me.
Brother De, aren't you coming?"
Seeing that she had a companion, Tan Ziqing hurriedly walked over, and shouted Wood by the way.
"Uh! I'm not interested in that, you can play, I'll just eat fish with you later." ”
Wood next to him, at some point, actually asked for a glass of vogart from Lao Maozi, and was drinking it very comfortably.
Hearing Tan Ziqing greet him, he shook his head and declined the other party's kindness.
With Yang Zi taking the lead, everyone tossed separately, packed up their fishing gear, and began to prepare for fishing together.
